The temple pulsed with pink light and lust.
We stood before its gates — five of us.
Raven, still flushed from last night, kept her arms crossed like she wasn't thinking about riding me again in the next five minutes.
Iris bounced in place, practically vibrating with excitement.
Lira and Aria exchanged nervous glances.
And behind us, silent and barefoot, Mei stood under the trees.
Watching.

Caution: Illusions may reveal truths or lies — or both.
"Sounds like a relationship test from hell," I muttered.
"It's literally called Bound Desires," Aria replied. "What did you expect?"
I looked back at Mei.
She tilted her head slightly — eyes locked on me.
She hadn't said a word since we left camp.
Still no clothes beyond a makeshift robe. Still pale, glowing faintly. Still giving off that soft, primal energy that made my skin tingle.
I walked up to her.
"You sure you're coming?"
She didn't answer.
She just took my hand.
And held it.
Firm. Possessive.
Entering the Temple
The stone gate shimmered as we stepped through.
Pink light swallowed us.
For a second, everything went quiet.
Then—
[You have entered: Trial One – Lust Illusion Labyrinth]
Rule: Do not surrender to false desire.
Separation in 3… 2… 1…
FLASH.
I was alone.
Naked.
Again.
Of course.
The walls around me shimmered like a dream — everything pink marble and silk curtains. There were soft moans echoing faintly in the distance.
A girl stepped out from behind the veil.
At first, I thought it was Raven.
Then Aria.
Then Iris.
Then… all of them?
They kept shifting, their faces flickering between all the girls I'd touched, fucked, kissed — even fantasized about.
They crawled toward me, moaning my name.
"Hirooo…"
"Touch us…"
"Love us…"
[Warning: Lust Illusion at 24%]
If illusion reaches 100%, trial failed.
"Nope," I said, backing up.
"Don't you want us?" one moaned, stroking her tits.
Another cupped her pussy and purred, "You can fuck us all. Forever. No consequences."
My cock twitched.
I took a deep breath.
Then slapped myself.
[Pain Stimulus – Lust reduced by 5%]
Elsewhere: Mei's Trial
[Trial of Possession – Mei]
Objective: Accept your place in the harem, or sever bond.
Status: Hostile desire detected. Instability rising…
She stood in a dark room.
Alone.
Naked.
In front of her: four girls, illusion versions of the harem — all sitting on Hiro's lap, kissing him, moaning as he held them.
She trembled.
Her claws began to extend.
A shadow crawled up her back.
[Mutation Surging – Bond Risk Detected]
But then…
She dropped to her knees.
And whispered, "I… want to be his."
[Possession stabilized. Bond preserved.]
Back to Hiro
I pushed through curtain after curtain of horny fake girls until finally—
One grabbed my wrist.
Hard.
I spun around, ready to punch.
It was Mei.
The real one.
Her robe was gone — her body glowing faintly in the temple light, eyes wide, chest rising and falling.
"Hiro…" she whispered. "You didn't… leave me."
I pulled her into my arms.
"Never."
Her body melted into mine.
She clung to me, lips brushing my throat.
"I'll… show you."
Then she kissed me.
Hard.
And I knew:
Her trial just ended.
Trial Complete
[Trial One Complete]
All party members have resisted false desire
Bond Levels Increased:
Mei: 58% → 67%
Next: Trial of Devotion – Begins in 6 hours
You may rest. Or… indulge.
We regrouped in a resting chamber — a circular room with cushions, a moonlight fountain, and warmth in the air that made everyone's skin shine with soft sweat.
Mei sat at my side, silent but pressed close.
Iris leaned into my other shoulder.
Lira traced lazy circles on my thigh.
Aria curled up against my chest.
Raven just stared, then finally sighed and flopped across my lap.
"Let's get this over with," she said. "Because if we're stuck in here too long, I will ride you in front of everyone."
My cock twitched.
Mei looked down at it, then back up at me.
Still silent.
Still glowing.
Still his.
