The Crimson Sect was a temple of lust, but not every woman inside it was open arms and moans.
Some were walls.
And Lucien?
He never met a wall he couldn't break.
The Forbidden Garden wasn't marked on any map. It lay hidden beneath enchanted vines and layers of illusion spells. Only the highest-ranking disciples had access—and only those who passed through untouched.
Lucien wasn't planning on staying untouched.

He smirked. "So... a challenge."
Forbidden Garden – Alchemist Hall
Selene Virelith.
The name alone made men shiver — not with arousal, but fear.
A tall, silver-haired priestess wrapped in flowing white and lavender alchemist robes, every inch of her untouched, unbroken. Her eyes were like ice. Her voice, scripture. Her mere presence purified lust.
Which meant... Lucien was poison in her world.
And yet... she noticed him the moment he entered.
"You don't belong here," she said, standing in the middle of a moonlit ritual circle.
Lucien took a step closer, ignoring the holy aura pressuring his chest. "You noticed me."
She narrowed her eyes. "You're unclean. Your aura drips with corrupted Yin."
Lucien chuckled. "Corruption's a matter of perspective. And you're still staring."

[System Tip: Flirting will not work. Create vulnerability.]
Lucien tilted his head. "Let me guess. Everyone comes here hoping to taste you. And you turn them all away."
"I'm not an object."
"You're a temptation," Lucien said, stepping into the ritual circle, energy crackling around him. "And the best part about temptation... is that it wants to be touched."
Selene raised a glowing hand. "Touch me, and I'll erase your memory."
Lucien grabbed her wrist — not harshly, but with impossible calm.
"No," he whispered, voice laced with raw desire. "You'll remember me."

The air snapped.
One moment, Selene stood stiff as a tower.
The next, her lips were on his.
It wasn't planned. It wasn't gentle.
It was desperate.
Lucien pinned her against the stone altar, his hands sliding up under her ceremonial robe. Her body trembled—years of untouched need waking in an instant. Her breath hitched with every stroke of his fingers, her lips parting with a soft gasp as her thighs locked around his waist.
"You're... evil," she whispered.
"And you," Lucien whispered back, "are divine."
He entered her slowly, reverently. Her cry echoed across the alchemical hall. Her nails dug into his back, and for the first time in her life — Selene felt alive.
> [Yin Drain Activated – Tier 2 Virgin Energy Detected]
[Harvesting: 41%... 69%... 100%]
Power surged into Lucien, not just in body, but in soul.
This Yin wasn't corrupted. It was pure essence.
It was a drug.

Selene collapsed beneath him, robes twisted, hair messy, aura cracked.
She looked up with dazed eyes. "You... shattered me."
Lucien kissed her forehead.
"No. I set you free."
