The storm began at the edge of the world.
It wasn't thunder that first stirred Lucas Gray awake that night—it was the wet slap of sweat between his thighs, the ache in his chest, the ghost of a dream that had no name but left him hard and hollow. He gasped, chest rising like the tide, sheets clinging to his skin, his body burning from a heat he didn't understand.
Lightning split the sky outside his dorm room window, bright enough to illuminate the vague shape of a girl in his dream—curved, glowing, mouth parted like she was begging for something only he could give.
And then she was gone.
Lucas sat up, rubbing at the back of his neck, breath ragged. His heart wouldn't calm. Neither would the stirring between his legs. Not unusual for a college virgin raised on porn and fantasy novels, but tonight it felt different. Primal. Pressing.
His phone buzzed. A notification.
Not from any app he recognized.
[System Notification]
You are Chosen. The Goddess Awakens.
Initiating Trial of Lustborne Soul: Synchronization Required.
Begin?
[YES] – [NO]
He blinked. Rubbed his eyes. Clicked his screen off, then on. Still there.
Was it a prank? A virus? Something his pervy roommate installed to mess with him?
He tapped "NO" on instinct—
—and the screen shattered.
Literally. Not just pixels. His phone cracked down the middle, the glass glowing with runes he'd never seen before. Heat surged up his arm like a fever, and then—
Pain.
Real pain.
A scream clawed up his throat as his body arched backward, every nerve alight, every muscle locking as if he were being pulled apart from the inside out.
Lightning struck again. But this time, it hit the building.
And that was the moment Lucas Gray died.
He expected blackness. Maybe a tunnel of light.
Instead, he woke to silk sheets, golden canopy drapes, and the sound of servants panicking outside a gilded chamber.
Lucas jolted upright.
Not in his dorm. Not even on Earth.
He was in a massive bed fit for royalty. His limbs felt… stronger. Taller. The scrawny, pale college body was gone, replaced with toned arms, defined abs, and—
"Holy shit," he muttered, running a hand down his new chest. His voice was deeper. His skin flawless. He looked over to a polished silver mirror near the bed.
His reflection was beautiful. Unreasonably so.
Jet-black hair longer now, tousled and regal. Eyes a molten silver, glowing faintly. A chiseled jawline, smooth lips, and a faint crimson sigil glowing on his collarbone.

"What the actual fuck."
A knock at the chamber door.
"My Lord? It's Lady Miranne. May I come in?"
The voice was melodic. Female. Nervous. The kind that made his spine tingle.
Lucas grabbed the robe at the foot of the bed. The fabric shimmered as he pulled it over his broad shoulders—luxurious and enchanted, no doubt.
"Come in," he called, voice uncertain.
The door creaked open.
And in stepped a girl straight out of a fantasy novel.
Golden curls, innocent blue eyes, a servant's dress hugging her modest curves. She bowed deeply, trembling as she kept her gaze low.
"You've awakened… Duke's son or not, we feared you'd lost your soul. The Healers said the mark… the one on your neck… it wasn't in any of the sacred tomes."
Lucas frowned. "How long was I asleep?"
"Three days, my Lord."
Three days? Since the lightning? Since—
"Wait. Did I… die?"
She looked up, eyes wide. "The Divine Trial always claims the body. But you… your soul returned. The priests say you're Blessed. That you have been Chosen."

His head spun.
He was in another world. Reborn. In the body of a noble heir. And some kind of… goddess had linked her fate to his through sex?
"Sacred Virgins," he whispered aloud. "Who are they?"
Lady Miranne flushed pink. "It's said that the Goddess left behind five bloodlines—untouched by mortal men—each tied to a different primal force. They say only the Lustborn can awaken them."
She swallowed, then looked up at him again, eyes shimmering with something more than fear.
"Are you… him?"

But she wasn't the one he needed. Not yet.

Lucas turned toward the window, the rising sun casting molten gold over the city below.
Stone towers twisted upward like spears. Banners flew in violet winds. The capital of Zephyros buzzed beneath him—beautiful, brutal, and completely unprepared for the return of the Lustborn.
His past life was over.
Now, pleasure would shape kingdoms. Virginity was sacred power. And he was its chosen vessel.
He clenched his hand, feeling magic thrum to his skin.
Let the seduction begin.
To be continued…
