Chapter 67 — The Second Corruption: City of Temptation
---
7:13 AM | Tokyo — Shinjuku District
The street looked normal.
Office workers. Schoolgirls. Café doors opening.
But if you watched closely...
You'd see the shimmer.
A man's eyes dilating too wide as he glanced at a passing woman.
A couple kissing too long at a red light.
A girl dropping her phone and staring at the pavement like it was whispering "touch me."
Aika and Yuuto stood in the middle of it all.
Both dressed—but only technically.
Yuuto's button-up was still open.
Aika wore nothing under her long black coat.
> "It's starting," Aika whispered.
"The dreamworld's infiltrating minds. One... arousal... at a time."
---
First Target: Rika Fujimoto
They didn't expect it to start so close.
Rika.
Yuuto's ex.
The only girl he ever left cold.
She was smart. Pure. Ambitious.
But now?
She stood frozen outside a café.
Coffee spilled across her chest.
Eyes blank.
And under her skirt, shadows curled like black hands.
> "She was exposed in her sleep," Aika muttered.
"Dream-venom. It's hatching inside her."
They rushed to her—
but too late.
---
Corrupted Rika
> "Yuuto…"
"I missed you… So much."
Her voice was not her own.
It was two tones layered, one innocent, one dripping wet temptation.
Her blouse unbuttoned by itself.
Breasts bare in public, but no one noticed.
Time had slowed down.
> "You ran from me.
Now touch me.
Or I'll make this whole street beg."
She spread her arms.
A circle of lust energy exploded outward.
Men fell to their knees.
Women moaned into phones and bit their own fingers.

Aika Unleashed
Aika stepped forward.
Her coat blew open—fully nude beneath, but unashamed.
The runes on her body lit like wildfire.
Eyes glowing violet-pink.
> "Back. The. F*ck. Off."
She slashed the air—
And Rika's illusions shattered.
Not gone.
But drained.
Rika collapsed, breathing fast, skirt soaked.
Yuuto caught her.
> "She's alive," he said.
"But… she wanted it.
Something inside her woke up."
---
What's Happening?
Aika stared into the sky.
The hole was larger.
Now visible to the naked eye.
> "This is only the second corruption.
The real ones will come soon—
people with deep suppressed desires.
Regret. Lust. Shame. Guilt.
All of it's being turned into weapons."
Yuuto nodded.
> "Then let's save them."
"And if we can't…"
"Let's satisfy them. Then destroy the dream at its core."
