The walls of Veylorn, the City of Chains, rose high into the evening sky, blackened by smoke from slave forges and pleasure dens. Kael stepped through the gates with Lyria clinging to his arm and Selene trailing behind, hood pulled low to hide her royal face.
The stench of sweat, sex, and coin was everywhere. Women of every race were displayed in cages and stages, their beauty reduced to price tags. Beastkin girls with collars, elves bound in silk chains, human maidens on their knees with eyes empty from training.
Lyria's voice trembled. "Master… this city… it's worse than the dungeon."
Selene hissed bitterly. "Pathetic. They sell women like cattle, and the men cheer for it." She looked at Kael, biting her lip. "You'll… stop this, won't you?"
Kael said nothing, but his aura stirred. Ever since the system's evolution, something new pulsed inside him. A pressure, hot and invisible, spilling from his body.

[Carnal Aura: Active.]
[Effect: Women within range experience heightened arousal. Men feel weakened or intimidated.]

The change was immediate.
A nearby slave girl gasped, her thighs pressing together as she shivered. Her eyes, glazed with lust, locked on Kael like prey before a predator.
A merchant scowled. "The fuck? Why's she—" Then he saw Kael, and his voice faltered. He stumbled back, suddenly drenched in sweat, heart pounding in terror.
Every woman that passed them slowed, staring, their cheeks flushed. Breathing quickened, nipples hardened through thin dresses, and the smell of arousal began to taint the air.
Selene clutched her cloak tighter, glaring at him. "T-this aura…! Do you enjoy turning every woman into a dripping mess, you monster?"
Kael only smirked. "I don't just enjoy it. I was born for it."
They turned a corner and saw a spectacle: a chained gladiatrix, tall with wild wolf-ears and a collar around her neck, displayed on a stage. Her muscles gleamed, her breasts bound in leather straps that barely covered her. She growled as the auctioneer tugged her chain.
"Behold! A savage beastkin warrior—broken, trained, ready for battle or bed! Who bids?"
Men roared numbers, coins flashing in their hands.
Kael's aura washed over the wolf-girl. Her snarl broke into a sudden gasp. She doubled over, thighs shaking, a wet stain spreading between her legs. Her amber eyes found Kael, dilating with need.
"M-master…" she moaned unconsciously, chains rattling.
The crowd laughed, thinking it a trick.
But Kael felt it—the system humming.

[Target Detected: Wolfkin Gladiatrix.]
[Potential Partner: High Compatibility.]
[Quest: Break her chains. Claim her in lust.]

Selene grabbed his arm, furious. "You can't! Not in front of all these people!"
Lyria whimpered softly, her thighs squeezing together as Kael's aura affected her too. "Master… please… I can't… hold it back much longer…"
Kael's grin was feral. "Watch me."
He stepped onto the stage. The auctioneer protested, but one look into Kael's eyes silenced him. Kael ripped the chain from the man's hands and pulled the wolf-girl to her knees.
She panted, saliva dripping from her fangs, her cunt dripping onto the wooden stage. "I… submit… please, claim me, Alpha…"
The crowd gasped, muttering in disbelief.
Kael dropped his trousers, his cock already hard and dripping. He shoved her mouth open with it, thrusting deep into her throat. The wolf-girl gagged and moaned at once, her eyes rolling back. The crowd erupted—some jeering, others trembling with arousal themselves under his aura.
Selene covered her face, torn between shame and heat. Lyria moaned softly, fingering herself beneath her cloak, whispering: "Master… Master…"
Kael grabbed the wolf-girl's hair, facefucking her until drool streamed down her chin, then yanked her up and bent her over the stage. Her tail wagged wildly as he slammed into her dripping pussy.
She howled, claws digging into the wood. "Yes! Deeper—! Alpha, breed me—!"
The system rang in his head.

[Carnal Domination: Successful.]
[Wolfkin Gladiatrix Loyalty: 100%. Partner bound by Lust Contract.]
[Carnal Aura Strengthened.]
---
Kael groaned, filling her with his seed as she convulsed, squirting messily across the stage. The crowd was silent, stunned. The gladiatrix collapsed, smiling in bliss, her collar broken at Kael's feet.
He turned, cock still glistening, and raised his hand toward the stunned men. His new partner knelt beside him, licking her lips, her voice a submissive growl:
"This man… is my Master. My Alpha."
The auctioneer fell to his knees, trembling. "Wh-what are you?!"
Kael smirked, his aura flaring across the stage.
"I am Kael Draven. Remember it. This city of chains belongs to me now."
