The skill that Alex gained from the lust-binding system didn't have a specific rank, as it was supposed to grow along with the protagonist, Lokiath.

'What's happening?'

The next second, something clicked in his mind, causing his expression to turn solemn.
'You knew this would happen?'
The fact that Sophia had always avoided talking about Alice's situation just played in his mind again and again.
