The Desire Effect
You ever wish you could read minds… and realize just how twisted people really are?
Yeah. Welcome to my life.
I'm Terrence Holt — office nobody, professional wallflower, 27 years old with the romantic experience of a teaspoon. No woman ever looked at me twice. Half the company forgets I exist; the other half uses me like a human printer.
Then everything shattered.
One humiliating day.
One strange encounter.
One system that should not exist.
DES — the Desire Effect System
Now I can sense attraction, ambition, secrets, lies, and hidden intentions in real time.
Coworkers, strangers, friends, rivals — even the janitor. Their thoughts, impulses, hidden desires, every dark curiosity aimed at me, plays out before me like an open book.”
Some are kind.
Some are cruel.
Some... want things I wasn't meant to understand.
And DES? its mission is simple: make me the most desirable mortal alive — not just romantically, but in every sense: wealth, power, charisma, influence, status... the complete package.
But I’m still just me.
Awkward. Nervous. Invisible. Overlooked.
Or… I was.
Because now, I’m no longer hiding.
Now, I see everything.
Now, I KNOW... everything.
And I WILL use it.
Follow me from corporate nobody to the man who bends desire, fear, and lust to his will.
