David's vision blurred as the world around him twisted violently, colors melting into streaks of fire and shadow. One second he was in his small, dimly lit apartment, the hum of his computer and the faint aroma of instant coffee surrounding him, and the next, he was plummeting through an endless void, weightless and utterly disoriented. His heart raced; every instinct screamed danger, yet he felt a strange thrill coursing through his veins. Something—no, someone—was pulling him into a realm far beyond human comprehension.
A sudden jolt slammed him into a hard, cold surface. Pain flared along his back, and David groaned, pressing his hands to the ground to steady himself. The air smelled of ozone and iron, tinged with an undercurrent of something far more primal: smoke, brimstone, and something dangerously sweet, like perfume meant to seduce rather than comfort. He lifted his head.
The city before him was like nothing he had ever seen. Towering spires of black crystal scraped a blood-red sky, while shadowy figures moved along winding streets illuminated by flickering, unnatural lights. Some floated above the ground; others had horns, wings, or scales glinting under the crimson hue. His system interface blinked suddenly before his eyes, startling him further.

Attributes: Strength – 3 / Agility – 4 / Charisma – 5 / Lust – 0 / Intelligence – 6
Quests Available: "Survive the First Night" – Reward: Basic Weapons + Skill Point Allocation
David blinked, unsure if he was hallucinating. Lust? He glanced at the readout, confused. Every number seemed alien, yet disturbingly tied to sensations he couldn't yet name. His mind raced as he struggled to comprehend.
A sudden movement caught his eye—a shadow slinking across the street, faster than any human could move. Before he could react, a figure descended from the darkness: a woman, towering yet lithe, with scales shimmering like molten bronze along her arms and a pair of wings tucked behind her shoulders. Her eyes glowed amber, predatory yet intoxicating, and her lips curved into a mischievous, knowing smile.
"Lost, little mortal?" Her voice dripped with amusement and something hot, sending a shiver down his spine. "Or are you just… curious?"
David's throat went dry. The wordless desire that surged through him was foreign, raw, and undeniable. He tried to step back, but the cobblestones seemed to pull him forward, as if this world itself demanded his submission.
"I… I don't… understand…" His voice trembled.
She chuckled, a low, seductive sound that vibrated against his chest. "You will. But first…" She spread her wings slightly, revealing the full power coiled within her frame. "You must learn your place."
The system interface pulsed violently, alerting him to a new quest. [Combat Tutorial Initiated: Survive the Encounter]
Instinct overrode confusion. David lunged for a jagged piece of debris nearby, gripping it like a weapon. The dragon-woman, Carlisle, tilted her head, amused by his pathetic attempt. Then, with a fluid movement, she closed the distance, her claws slicing through the air with lethal precision.
Pain exploded across his shoulder as she struck, sending him sprawling across the ground. But rather than fear, David felt something else: a surge of adrenaline that tingled along nerves he hadn't realized existed. The system updated immediately.
[LEVEL UP: Strength +1 / Agility +1]
[New Skill Unlocked: Reflexive Dodge]
He staggered to his feet, tasting blood and fear together, an intoxicating mix that made his pulse hammer. Carlisle's eyes narrowed, her predatory grin widening. "Clever… for a weakling. Perhaps you are worth my attention."
The fight escalated into a dance of violence and unspoken desire. Every strike she made was precise, designed to push him to his limits, yet with every near-miss, his body responded in ways he hadn't anticipated. Heat pooled low in his belly, a confusing mixture of arousal and adrenaline. When she pinned him to the ground briefly, their faces inches apart, her breath hot against his ear, the system flickered:
[Lust Rising: 25 / 100]
[Skill Potential: Seduction Exposure]
David's mind spun, part horror, part desire. He realized then that survival here required more than strength—it required submission, manipulation, and the acceptance of desires he had never allowed himself.
By some miraculous instinct—or the intervention of the system—David executed a reflexive dodge at the last possible moment, rolling beneath Carlisle and grabbing a broken metal rod. He thrust it upward, grazing her side, earning a sharp hiss from the dragon-woman.
"That… was impressive," she murmured, a strange admiration threading through her voice. "Not many mortals… fight back and feel it." Her eyes lingered on him, the tension between them electric. "Perhaps… we can train together."
Before David could respond, a sudden shriek echoed across the city streets. A new figure appeared, descending like a beam of silver light—Danielle, her wings spanning wide, feathers glinting in the unnatural light. The angel's smile was pure mischief. "I see the dragon has found a little plaything," she said, voice soft but commanding. "Mind if I join?"
David blinked. Both women—predator and seductress—looked at him like he was theirs to claim, their eyes alight with expectation. The system buzzed:
[New Party Members Detected: Carlisle (Dragon), Danielle (Angel)]
[Bond Potential Rising: Multiple]
He tried to speak, but words failed. Danielle's hand brushed his arm lightly, and a jolt of heat shot through him. Simultaneously, Carlisle leaned closer, her lips brushing his shoulder, whispering promises of both pain and pleasure. David's mind reeled: I didn't ask for this… yet I can't resist.
Suddenly, the ground beneath them trembled. Shadows began to writhe, coalescing into monstrous forms—beings clearly meant to test his survival. His first real challenge in this world had arrived. The dragon and the angel flanked him, their presence both reassuring and intoxicating.
"Stay close," Carlisle growled, wings spreading fully. "Or you'll die—and I don't enjoy killing mortals… not yet."
Danielle smirked, her hand brushing his cheek. "And I might find you more useful if you survive."
David swallowed hard, his system buzzing:
[Combat Mode Engaged: Survival Priority]
[Skill Activation: Reflexive Dodge + Adrenaline Surge]
The monsters lunged. David's movements, clumsy at first, began to sync with the instincts the system honed. Each dodge, each strike, each strategic retreat heightened his senses. Heat coursed through his body, a fusion of fear, arousal, and newfound power. When he struck the first monster down with a precise blow, Carlisle let out a low growl of approval, and Danielle's wings brushed against him, a whisper of intimacy.
Hours—or perhaps minutes; time was fluid here—passed in a blur of combat and sensation. By the end, David lay on the ground, exhausted, bruised, and trembling, but alive. The monsters were vanquished, and the two women hovered over him, their eyes glinting with pride and something far more personal.
Carlisle's hand traced along his chest, her claws careful yet possessive. "You survived… and not badly. There's potential here."
Danielle leaned down, lips brushing his ear. "Potential… yes. But potential also means desire. You will learn that every choice here matters… in more ways than one."
The system pulsed again, confirming the growth he felt deep in his body.
[LEVEL UP: Strength +2 / Agility +2 / Lust +15]
[Skill Acquired: Predator Awareness / Seductive Charm]
David's chest heaved as he realized the truth: this world demanded more than survival. It demanded mastery over body, mind, and desire. And already, he was entwined with beings far stronger, far more dangerous, yet thrillingly intoxicating.
As the crimson sky shifted toward an eerie twilight, David rose, leaning on Carlisle and Danielle. The first night in the Inhuman Dominion was only beginning, yet he already felt a spark—an undeniable hunger—for more: more power, more pleasure, more conquest. The city stretched before him, vast, perilous, and filled with temptation.
And David knew, with a thrill that sent heat coursing down his spine, that he would not remain weak for long.
