Is there any way to stop the story ¨An intimate of Devils¨ that doesn't involve selling my soul?
If I get the story to level 13 I only have three options: selling my soul, the fate option which doesn't stop the story (I tried) or refusing which just decrease the level of the story to 8 where I continue to receive around 6 card of standard frequency.

I'm surprised at how frequently this question is asked...it's almost as if the intimate with devils storyline is poorly executed if so many people want out of it. Couldn't we be given a chance to forcefully and publicly denounce the devils, perhaps at the cost of all connected hell and a good deal of connected society? There are MANY storylines I wouldn't play were I to run another character because of the annoying consequences. This is one of them.

I think Alexis mentioned on a post somewhere that they had to prevent players from optimizing the card deck too much so these storyline remained.
And to be fair, this storyline is a relic all the way from Echo Bazaar Beta, and a particularly low-level one at that. It is just a way to show people how Devils operate on stealing souls. It just doesn't work as well as it used to be because Abstraction are super common knowledge now, people grew in status and abilities exponentially yet it wasn't updated to address that.
I suspect people would be happier about being courted by devils if they were treated more respectfully.
Somewhere along the lines of "I AM SHATTERING FORCE NOW. I WILL RIP OUT YOUR STUPID FINGERNAILS AND PULVERIZE YOUR BEE, DEVILESS. EVEN THE APES IN THE EMPIRE OF HANDS OFFER A BETTER PRICE."
....I mean, the Dashing Smuggler is psychotic too, but he give you cherries and never give you meance.

Relatedly, I would also like him to leave me alone (admittedly he only shows up in the tomb colonies, and its more a 'remember him?' then him actually bothering you, which, while nice, is still a card in a place where cards are extra important, and no I don't particularly remember him because I'm a lesbian lol.)

personally, i quite pointedly deluded myself that there was no romantic intentions behind his advances, aside from a longing for company and youth. if i veiw him as such, which my character does, and all the damage he causes as... if not insignificant, less harmful than implied- than he is a quite good friend, and wonderful company. the fact he may or may not want into my pants does not change that.
