SinBound The Seduction System

Episode 19

The air still pulsed with the aftershocks of what had just happened.

Ethan stood in the dim hallway behind the University's private amphitheater, his breath steady but charged. The crimson HUD in his vision blinked softly.

[New Location Unlocked: The Arena of Desire] [Quest Triggered: "Conquer the Performance"] [Time Limit: 02:00:00] [Reward: SinPoints +50, New Passive Skill: "All Eyes on Me"]

He adjusted his black silk shirt, still half-unbuttoned, the heat of Aria and Alina's touches lingering on his skin like invisible tattoos. His lips curled into a smirk.

But this was no time to relax.

Because waiting for him inside wasn't one or two women.

It was an entire audience.

Westwood University – Secret Amphitheater – Midnight

The arena was a circular space, like a Roman coliseum hidden beneath the art building. Candle sconces lined the stone walls, their flames flickering golden light over the velvet seats.

In the center: a single stage. And on it, stood her.

Professor Livia Hart.

Clad in a black corset dress that hugged her curves like sin incarnate, she held a leather-bound book in one hand and a riding crop in the other. Her lips painted blood-red, her heels clicking with power.

Around her were a dozen students, seated like worshipers before a goddess.

And Ethan?

He was tonight's "guest speaker."

Ethan stepped forward, his boots echoing against the ancient marble.

"Ah," Livia purred, turning. "The infamous Ethan Cross finally arrives."

"And ready to play," he answered.

Livia raised a brow. "In front of an audience? You do realize this isn't some dorm room fantasy."

[System Triggered: "Exposure" Challenge] [Condition: Stir audience desire to 80% without touching anyone directly. Bonus: +Sin Clone II Upgrade]

He grinned. "That just means I need to get creative."

He turned to the crowd, women and a few men watching with growing curiosity.

"Let me ask you a question," Ethan said, voice smooth, rich. "What turns you on more? Watching? Or being watched?"

There was a hush. Then a few chuckles. But more importantly—shifting postures, crossed legs, bitten lips.

[Audience Arousal: 21%... 34%...]

He walked slowly, deliberately. His aura turned magnetic.

[Skill Activated: Lust Aura II]

He passed a blonde literature major. Her breath hitched. A brunette pre-med student leaned forward unconsciously.

He never touched. Just whispered.

"Imagine I'm behind you. My breath warm. My hands everywhere... but not where you want them."

The girls whimpered.

[Audience Arousal: 55%... 67%... 75%...]

Livia clapped once. "Enough."

The room froze.

"You passed the test."

Ethan smiled. "Then let's move to the real lesson."

She approached him slowly, her crop trailing up his torso.

"Let's see if the man who conquered my students... can conquer me."

[Quest Update: Duel of Desires] [Win Condition: Reverse dominant dynamic with Livia] [Fail Condition: Submit fully to her control]

Livia's challenge wasn't just physical. It was mental. Psychological warfare.

She pushed Ethan onto a velvet throne at center stage, straddling him.

"You're used to being in control," she whispered. "But I break men like you for breakfast."

Ethan's fingers gripped the arms of the throne.

[Internal Resistance: 84%]

"Break me, then," he growled. "If you can."

Their mouths met in a kiss like combat, no give, only take. Sparks flew. Moans echoed.

Around them, the audience trembled, hypnotized.

30 Minutes Later

Livia lay across Ethan's lap, panting, hair undone, lipstick smeared.

She looked up at him, her expression half-shocked, half-thrilled.

"You... you actually flipped me."

Ethan winked. "Top of the class."
