Kai awoke to warmth. A body next to his, pressed against him under the soft moss blanket. Lyra's breathing was even, her silver-blonde hair tangled around his chest. She looked peaceful for once—her usually hard edges softened in sleep.
For a fleeting moment, the chaos of portals and beasts faded.
But only for a moment.
[ALERT: Energy Pulse Detected Nearby]
[Source: Unknown. Sexual Aura – Corrupted. Range: 1.2 kilometers.]
Kai's eyes narrowed. "SIREN, corrupted?"
"Hostile anomaly. Energy signature matches Forbidden Pleasure Relic-class entities."
"Relic-class...?"
"Highly powerful. Likely sealed. Dangerous. Or… useful."
He sat up.
Lyra stirred beside him. "What is it?"
"There's something out there. The system says it's... emitting corrupted sexual energy."
She sat up fast. "Relic-class? That's no minor threat. That's ancient-level magic. Some of them can warp entire regions."
"Could also be an opportunity, right?"
Lyra studied him for a long moment. "If you're going after it, I'm going with you."
Kai smirked. "Didn't doubt that for a second."
The journey through the forest was hauntingly beautiful.
Crimson flowers bloomed underfoot. Trees whispered secrets in languages no one had spoken in centuries. Strange creatures—half-butterfly, half-feline—fluttered through the air, brushing against their skin and leaving tingles of harmless magic.
But the deeper they went, the stranger it got.
The air thickened with desire. The trees seemed to pulse. Moans—soft, faint, otherworldly—echoed through the brush.
[WARNING: Entering Lust-Warped Zone]
[Mental Fortitude Recommended]
Kai swallowed. "You feel that?"
Lyra nodded, jaw clenched. "Keep your mind focused. This place feeds on your kinks."
"Well, I'm doomed."
She almost laughed.
Then they saw it.
A clearing of ancient stone—cracked pillars and broken marble bathed in silver moonlight. Vines wrapped every surface, glowing with faint, red runes.
And in the center...
A woman.
Chained.
She floated a few feet above the cracked altar, nude but wrapped in silk-thin shadows that moved like smoke. Her skin was flawless, bronze kissed, her hair raven-dark and trailing to her waist. Horns curved from her head. Her eyes—half-lidded, glowing amethyst—snapped open the moment Kai stepped into the ring.
And she smiled.
"Ahh... My chosen arrives."
Kai froze.
[FORBIDDEN ENTITY DETECTED: Lilith Fragment – Sealed Form]
[Risk Level: S – Potential Harem Catalyst]
[OPTION: Engage Ritual to Unseal]
[WARNING: Entity Will Attempt Seduction and Bonding. Mental Resilience Required.]
Lyra stepped forward, sword drawn. "She's a succubus."
"Technically," the woman purred, "I'm the succubus. But titles are so boring."
Kai's pulse was already quickening. Everything about her—her voice, her posture, the way the air trembled around her—was designed to unravel him.
SIREN's voice cut in:
> "Host may gain immense power if successful. But failure will result in essence drain... or total enslavement."
Kai smirked. "So... standard Tuesday."
He stepped toward the chained woman.
Lyra hissed, "Are you insane?"
"I've got a system powered by sex. Might as well lean in."
The succubus licked her lips.
"Then come closer, sweet host. Touch my chain… and release your fate."
Kai did.
The moment his fingers brushed the dark metal, a pulse of energy surged through him hot, overwhelming, sensual. Visions flashed in his mind.
Silk sheets.
Screams of pleasure.
A throne of writhing bodies.
And her—always her—on top, whispering his name.
[Ritual Initiated: Lustbound Unsealing]
[Objective: Withstand Temptation for 60 seconds]
[Bonus Objective: Intentionally Arouse Entity Without Losing Control]
The chain snapped.
The succubus fell into his arms, body warm and soft as sin.
Her voice was a whisper in his ear. "Show me what kind of man you are."
60 seconds.
She pressed against him, every curve of her body designed for pleasure. Her hands moved over his chest, teasing, tracing.
He gritted his teeth. Focus.
[Mental Fortitude: +1]
"Such willpower," she whispered. "But how long can you hold?"
Kai smirked. "Long enough to make you beg."
She gasped—genuine, this time. Her hips moved, slow grinding against his thigh.
His hand slid along her waist, teasing the edge of the shadows. He didn't give in. He took control. Touched her, not the other way around.
The succubus moaned.
[Arousal Level: 82%]
[Host Dominance Achieved: 51%]
Lyra stared, shocked. "He's... turning her on without losing control."
"Hot," SIREN whispered.
Kai met the succubus's eyes. "My turn to ask: Who are you?"
Her breathing shivered. "I am Selis, Fragment of Lilith, Queen of Temptation."
"I'm Kai. System Host. And your new master—if you accept."
She blinked.
Then... slowly knelt before him.
Her head bowed.
"Then take me, Kai Draven. Body, power, soul. I am yours."

Selis stood, now partially clothed in dark, flowing silks that shifted like living shadow. Her horns gleamed. She leaned close, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek.
"You're dangerous, Kai Draven."
He grinned. "I try."
Lyra crossed her arms, annoyed but impressed. "So... what now? We just carry her around?"
Selis purred. "I can be useful. Very useful. I know secrets about the Celestials. About the Forbidden Hosts. About the throne."
Kai blinked. "Throne?"
Her smile turned cryptic.
"There's more than just survival here, Kai. Your system isn't just rare—it's meant to rule. And I know where the key lies."
Kai's heart skipped.
Then the ground shook.
Thunder rolled in the distance.
Selis's smile faded. "They're coming."
Lyra stiffened. "Celestials?"
"No," Selis whispered.
"Something worse. Something that feeds on pleasure hosts... and it just woke up."
