Ethan Cross exited the library with his heartbeat still drumming from his steamy encounter with Naomi. Every successful seduction empowered him—and now, he had unlocked Lust Aura I, a passive skill that subtly raised desire levels in nearby individuals.
And it was already working.
From across the university courtyard, standing tall in sharp heels and a form-fitting black blouse tucked into a pencil skirt, Professor Livia Hart looked like power incarnate. Her raven-black hair was pinned tightly into a bun. Her glasses were perched high on her nose, and her eyes—icy blue—locked with Ethan's as he stepped into the evening light.
There was no warmth in her gaze.
Only curiosity... and something deeper.
Challenge.
Ethan swallowed, pulse quickening. A normal man would've backed down. Livia Hart was notorious. Brilliant. Unreachable. She didn't tolerate foolishness or flirtation—especially not from undergrads.
But Ethan was no longer normal.
He had the Seduction System.
> "Target Emotional State: Guarded. Conflicted. Mild Arousal: 12%
Attraction Level: Repressed."
She turned slowly and entered the Department of Literature building, heels clicking sharply with every step.
The system pinged.
[New Opportunity Available – Follow Her? Y/N]
Ethan didn't hesitate.
Yes.

7:12 PM – Department of Literature, Faculty Wing
The hallway was empty. Silent. Only dim wall sconces lit the path as Ethan followed the faint echo of heels. Her office door—Room 217—was slightly ajar.
He knocked softly.
"Enter."
Her voice, low and precise, carried authority like a whip.
Ethan stepped inside.
The room was neat and elegant, shelves lined with old leather-bound books, the air thick with aged paper and faint lavender.
She didn't look up from her desk. "Ethan Cross," she said without inflection. "I remember your name."
He blinked. "You do?"
"Barely. Average performance. Occasional participation." She finally looked up, her eyes razor-sharp. "And now I find you... lurking outside my office?"
The challenge in her voice wasn't hostile—it was laced with expectation.
> [Seduction Insight Triggered]
"She values intelligence. Precision. Confidence. Do not compliment her beauty. Challenge her intellect."
Ethan stepped closer. "I followed you because I wanted to know what someone like you does after hours."
She arched a brow. "Is that supposed to impress me?"
"No. But I'm curious. Professors have secrets, don't they?"
A ghost of a smile teased the corner of her lips. "You think I'm hiding something?"
"I'd bet on it."
He met her gaze. No fear. No hesitation.
> [Target Arousal: 12% → 21%]
She stood, slowly, walking toward him with that same commanding stride. "You're not the first student to flirt with me, Ethan."
"Maybe not. But I'm guessing most failed because they didn't know how to play the game."
Livia circled him like a lioness. "And you do?"
"I'm learning."
She stopped in front of him—close. Her scent was intoxicating: lavender, ink, and danger.
"What makes you think I play games?"
"Everyone does," he murmured. "Yours just have... higher stakes."
> [Target Arousal: 21% → 34%]
[Mission Progress: 12%]
She tilted her head. "You have no idea what you're getting into."
"Then show me."
Their eyes locked.
Silence crackled with tension.
She turned suddenly, walking to her desk. "Close the door."

7:18 PM – Professor Hart's Office
Ethan sat across from her now. Livia poured herself a glass of dark wine from the bottle on her bookshelf and sipped slowly.
"You know, Ethan," she said, setting the glass down, "I don't believe in... wasted potential. But I punish arrogance."
"Then punish me," he said without thinking.
Her eyes flared with surprise—then amusement.
> [Flirtation Tier 1 Achieved – Verbal Boldness]
[Target Arousal: 34% → 46%]
She leaned forward, her blouse subtly unbuttoned at the top. Not much—but enough for Ethan to notice.
"You're either very brave or very stupid."
"Maybe both."
She stood and walked around the desk again, but this time she stopped behind him.
"Tell me," she said near his ear, "what's your favorite book?"
He turned slightly. "The Art of War."
"Interesting choice. Strategy... deception... control."
Her fingers, slender and cold, brushed the back of his neck. Light, teasing.
"Do you enjoy control, Ethan?"
"I enjoy taking it."
> [Arousal Spike: 46% → 59%]
Livia came into view again, eyes dark with intrigue now. Her tone lowered. "Say something intelligent. If you impress me, I might let this... encounter continue."
Ethan took a breath. "You wear armor made of words. Authority. Power. But every fortress has a door—and I think you're daring me to find yours."
The silence stretched.
Then—
She smiled. Genuinely.
And it was devastating.
"Stand up," she commanded.
He obeyed.
She closed the distance, her hands flat on his chest. Her nails dragged down the fabric of his shirt as her eyes scanned his face.
"You're different," she whispered. "And dangerous."
> [Permission Granted – Touch Tier Unlocked]
[Mission Progress: 70%]
Her hand traced the curve of his jaw. Then lower.
"Show me what you can do, Mr. Cross."
He backed her slowly into the bookshelf, one hand pinning hers above her head while the other slipped to her waist.
His lips hovered near her ear. "You like being in charge... but you want someone to take that from you."
Her breath hitched.
> [Arousal: 70% → 82%]
She bit her lip, gaze burning. "Don't you dare disappoint me."
"I won't."

8:00 PM – Aftermath
The room was filled with heavy silence. Professor Hart stood near her desk, adjusting her blouse, cheeks slightly flushed. Ethan, meanwhile, leaned against the window frame, heart still pounding.

She turned to him.
"That never happened," she said sharply.
He smirked. "Sure. Just like how your wine's still full."
She rolled her eyes. "Get out before I fail you on principle."
He left with a smirk—and a new name lighting up his interface.

As Ethan walked into the night, the system buzzed with activity. Lust Aura pulsed wider now—drawing glances from passing girls, curious stares, interested smiles.
He wasn't just seducing women anymore.
He was becoming something more.
And the game had only just begun.
