[Welcome to the Realm. This chapter serves as your Official Companion Guide to Romance Reign: The System of Seduction]
World Review:
*The Amazonian Domain
The Amazonian Realm is not a single unified empire—it is a fractured territory divided into four major tribes, each with its own culture, geography, strengths, and dangers.
*Southern Domain – Silver Spine
Race: Mostly Human
Terrain: Dense forest
Capital: No central city—scattered fortresses
Specialty: Brute strength, survival, traditional combat
Silver Spine is the most physically hardened of the tribes. They value strength, honor, and resilience. Magic is scarce here; technology even more so. The South lives by the laws of nature, using what the forest gives, and enduring what it does not.
*Northern Domain – Lione
Race: Beastmen
Terrain: Scorching deserts and rocky valleys
Capital: Kingdom of Lione – a city of steel and flame
Specialty: Oil-fueled technology, engineered weapons
Though called beastmen, the North are no savages. Their capital is a thriving industrial empire powered by oil and advanced weaponry. Rumored to harbor a necromancer and cursed engineers, they are the South's fiercest rival.
*Western Domain – Mourneir
Race: Dark Elves
Terrain: Deep enchanted forest
Capital: Mourneir – a living city grown from trees
Specialty: Illusion magic, raw Myrracenta energy, spiritual trickery
The West is feared for its mysticism. Myrracenta—the rare magical flora that thrives there—feeds their power and paranoia. Their society is elusive and secretive, ruled more by ritual and pact than politics. To anger them is to anger the forest itself.
*Eastern Territory – The Forbidden East
Race: Unknown
Terrain: Charred plains, jagged cliffs
Ruler: A dragon known only as Shmir
Specialty: None. No one survives long enough to report.
The East is marked on maps only by one thing: a warning. A dragon rules it, massive and ancient.
*The Wastelands – Neutral Zones
Race: Mixed – Walkers, exiles, outcasts
Terrain: Ruins, cliffs, old battlegrounds
Notable Feature: Free Towns, Black Markets, Rogue Magic
These lawless lands exist between the four domains. Some live here by choice—seeking freedom. Others by exile—cast out from their tribes. Dangerous and wild.
Romance System:
The Romance System is an emotion-based mechanism that awakened the moment River (in Isen Faelir's body) stepped foot in the Amazonian Realm.
It appeared without warning. No origin. No explanation. Only a message: [Romance System Activated]
Whether it's a curse, a blessing, or something more—River has no choice but to play by its rules if he wants to survive, gain power, and uncover the truth about his banishment.
How It Works:
*Heart Color Mechanics:
The system detects up to five hearts per compatible target. As the emotional bond progresses, the hearts change color, reflecting the woman's growing connection with River.
*Five Stages of Bonding:
Each bond progresses through stages. No two connections are the same, but generally:
First Heart – Initial interaction. Curiosity sparked.
Second Heart – Further connection. Trust or intrigue begins.
Third Heart – Emotional or physical closeness. Touch, tension, chemistry.
Fourth Heart – Vulnerability. Confession. Shared truth or past.
Final Heart – Full sync. Mutual bond.
*System Rules
-Power Scaling: River cannot unlock a new ability unless the next woman is perceived (by the system) to have a [Greater beauty] than the last.
-Emotion-Based Magic: The strength of the magic River gains is tied to the depth of the bond. The more genuine the affection, the stronger the power.
-System Loss: If a woman falls out of interest or dies, River loses the ability tied to her heart.
-No Repeats: Once a woman's bond is broken or completed, it cannot be reset. Each heart can only be turned red once.
--The Romance System is not a harem generator. It is a weapon. And someone wants River to use it.
Your journey has only just begun. The System watches. The Realm shifts. The hearts beat louder.
