Pink clouds drift around a massive mountain peak. At its base, a small cave entrance glows with an ethereal light that makes you feel dazed, pulling you to walk right in.
Inside, there's a huge, circular plaza. Six crystal pillars hold up the cave ceiling.
The walls are covered in murals that'll make your blood boil—barely-clothed beauties in all sorts of provocative poses, every single one of them a pure tease.
In the middle of the plaza, a group of human men stands in a line.
Alex is one of them.
He just woke up here, his mind a total mess, but his gut tells him something is seriously wrong.
He was born in the Lansha Empire, a fantasy world filled with all kinds of races and creatures.
Elves, vampires, angels, Valkyries, and... succubi. And it looks like he's in a succubus lair.
He's twenty, but he can't feel an ounce of spiritual energy. He never awakened an ability, and the country basically labeled him a useless bum.
So, like a few hundred other guys, he was sent here. It's an annual "gift" from the empire to keep the succubi happy.
Now, you might think, "Succubi? Hell yeah! Must be a non-stop party, right?" But the truth is, no one who went before has ever come back alive, not even a single message.
Meanwhile, the succubus race is getting stronger, their numbers are growing, and they've even started worming their way into the empire's government.
Their seductive tricks are getting sharper, too. From what Alex knows, even the current king has a few succubus girlfriends.
So you can pretty much guess what happens to guys sent here.
"Wait, why does my back hurt so much? My legs are like jelly? And my body... why is there no muscle at all?!"
Alex fumbles with himself, only to find his already scrawny body feels even weaker. He used to be able to do two push-ups; now he can't even hold a plank.
What the hell is going on? Is it the smell?
Alex sniffs, inhaling a sweet fragrance. A wicked fire ignites in his gut, and he gets an instant hard-on. But at the same time, the rest of his body starts to feel weak.
"I'm screwed."
Alex's vision goes dark. He feels like his life is over.
The next second, a blue light appears in front of him, turning into a panel!
[Name: Alex]
[Age: 20]
[Combat Power: 1 (Worm)]
[Talent: Holy Dragon Bloodline, Locked (Requires intense stimulation)]
[Skills: None]
[Holy Abilities: None]
[Weapon: None]
Alex's eyes light up. A system?! He's not doomed after all! This is great! Give me some stat points!
Then he notices with a jolt: he has no points! It's just a static panel!
No! NOOOOOO!
If I can't do anything, what good is this system?!
He grabs his face in a panic, looking at the talent note. "Requires intense stimulation to unlock"? Is this not intense enough? He's about to die!
WTF...
Alex looks around in despair and sees the other men staring blankly in one direction, their pants bulging with massive tents.
He follows their gaze and sees a bunch of gorgeous, heart-pounding succubi.
Their skin is pale and glows temptingly in the cave's dim, intimate light.
They have stunning curves, waists so thin they look like you could snap them, and breasts and hips that are unbelievably full.
Every gentle sway of their bodies creates a line that makes your heart race.
They're barely dressed in thin veils or a few delicate ribbons, leaving most of their white skin and long, beautiful legs exposed.
Some have heart-tipped tails swaying behind them, others have small bat wings, adding to their exotic look.
Their faces are all drop-dead gorgeous, their eyes sparkling with a seductive glint—some innocent, some enchanting, some cool and aloof.
But without exception, they all have a soul-stealing power.
The tip of a pink tongue lightly licks a full, red lip, and a soft giggle escapes their mouths. Every tiny movement seems to be the most primal invitation.
The men's reactions are even more pathetic.
Their eyes are vacant, drool running down their chins, and they make unconscious "huh, huh" noises in their throats.
Their faces are unnaturally flushed, and they're breathing as if they just ran a marathon.
Alex sees a muscular man at the front of the line. His eyes are completely lost.
He's grabbing at the air, his legs trembling violently, only an animalistic urge keeping him from falling over.
Another scrawny guy is mumbling, "It's worth it... even if I die, it's worth it..." He looks completely willing to give up everything.
The whole group seems to be under a powerful charm spell. All reason has been thrown out the window. The air is thick with male hormones and a sweet, corrupting scent.
Alex feels that sickly-sweet smell flooding his nose. The evil fire in his gut makes him burn all over, and a certain part of him is hard as iron.
The intense physical reaction is about to break through his last bit of control.
But the fear in his mind is like a bucket of ice water, keeping him barely sane.
He sees it clearly: deep in the succubi's beautiful eyes, there's no lust.
Only a cold, appraising look and... hunger. They're looking at them like a feast.
"No... this is bad... I'm going to die... I'm really going to die!" Alex screams in his head, cold sweat soaking his back.
He tries desperately to back away, but his legs are like noodles. The men behind him have no sense left and are like a hot wall, pushing him forward toward the deadly "hunters."
Just then, a succubus with fiery red hair sways her hips and walks to the front of the line, to the muscular man. She's the hottest one in the plaza, with a body so stunning it's suffocating.
She extends a slender finger, lightly stroking the man's cheek, her voice so sweet it could drip like honey. "Mmm, so much essence... you're a good one."
The man acts as if he's received the greatest honor, trembling with excitement.
The red-haired succubus giggles, linking her arm through his and dragging him toward a small, pink-glowing cave.
The man doesn't resist at all. He just follows with a look of pure obsession and eagerness.
Soon, the cave is filled with the man's ecstatic screams of pleasure, mixed with the succubus's satisfied giggles. There are even flashes of pink light.
The men around Alex get even more agitated, like animals in heat, pushing and shoving to get to the front.
But Alex is terrified. He thinks he can faintly hear, beneath the sounds of joy, an extremely subtle sucking and shriveling sound.
Not long after, the cave's curtain is pulled back. The red-haired succubus walks out, licking her lips, looking refreshed and even more beautiful.
Two lower-ranking succubi, like servants, drag something out and toss it into a dark corner of the plaza.
Alex's eyes go wide.
It's a male mummy, completely dehydrated, skin stretched tight over bones, with sunken eyes! His face is frozen in a twisted expression of ultimate pleasure!
It's the man who just went in!
"Next."
The red-haired succubus calls out lazily, her gaze sweeping over the men in line as if she's choosing her next dessert.
Instead of being afraid, the men get even more crazy, crowding forward, desperate for it to be them.
Alex feels a chill shoot from his feet all the way to the top of his head! All his lust is instantly gone, replaced by endless terror!
He wants to run, but his legs are too weak. He can't move!
The line moves fast. Men are chosen, taken into the caves, and soon shriveled corpses are dragged out and thrown into the corner. A small pile of them is already forming!
Finally, it's his turn!
A succubus in a purple dress, with the charming look of a ripe peach and the gentle face of a married woman, notices Alex's handsome but pale face.
Her eyes light up, and she walks over.
"Oh, what a handsome little brother~" Her voice is so gentle it could drown you, with a faint scent of violets. "Don't be scared, big sister will take good care of you~"
Her cool, smooth hand grabs Alex's wrist. Her strength is incredible, and he can't fight back.
"No... no... let me go!" Alex struggles in a panic, but his resistance is useless. The succubus just giggles and effortlessly drags him toward the cave of death.
He can even smell the horrific air coming from the cave, a mix of exotic perfume and a hint of rot!
He's thrown onto the bed by the purple-haired succubus, his clothes being stripped away. Her eyes light up. She ties up her hair, climbs on top, and starts to move her hips.
"Oh! yes! Oh! i can't stop!" she screams and starts to move even faster.
An intense feeling rushes over him. Alex closes his eyes in despair. He can feel his life force rapidly draining away!
The intense fear of death explodes inside him like a volcano!
Just then—BOOM!!!
