"Useful, but fleeting. Five seconds is barely enough to exploit anything meaningful unless you're in a perfect situation," he muttered before moving on.
The brass ring gleamed weakly as he passed it.
[ Bondbreaker's Loop: Allows severance of weak emotional connections for one target. Single use. ]
"Too situational. A blunt tool, not a blade," Akhil judged, dismissing it with a glance.
The Lunar Veil Pendant caught his attention again.
[ Conceals user's thoughts for 10 seconds. Cannot be used under direct sunlight. ]
"Ten seconds… too little for meaningful deception, especially with sunlight restrictions. Not worth it," he said, shaking his head.
He observed the remaining artifacts—each more lackluster than the last—before his attention returned to the pedestal at the room's heart.
The golden glow of the two eyes pulsed faintly, almost as if they were aware of his scrutiny.
[ Eyes of Charm: Temporarily subjugates the will of any one target. Effectiveness depends on the target's mental strength. ]
The description hung in his mind.
The ability was far from perfect, but it wasn't raw strength or pure utility that drew him—it was control.
Considering how the artifacts here were just fragments, with the help of the system, he would be able to repair or upgrade them, potentially increasing their strength and ability if used.
Knowing other artifacts may even with the growth would not bear the results like this one.
[ Host, the Eyes of Charm are particularly potent within this dominion, but their effectiveness depends on both the mental state of the user and the target. Are you certain of your choice? ]
Akhil smirked, stepping toward the pedestal. "It's the only choice I guess, then."
His hand stretched forward, his fingertips grazing the glowing eyes. The room seemed to shudder as the golden fog stirred violently, swirling around him in protest.
For a moment, he felt a resistance—like the artifact itself was questioning his resolve.
"Extract it", He commanded at seeing how there was retaliation from artifacts side which soon got broke as system chimed n.
[ Extraction Cost = 1500 Obsession Points [ Total: 1 Billion Obsession Points ]
[ Extraction initiated ]
The golden glow flared as the artifact responded, and with a sudden surge of energy, the Eyes of Charm merged into his grasp.
The energy stilled, and the room fell eerily silent.
'What the!? Even though the system hadn't confirmed it yet, he was able to feel the connection with this artifact, understanding its workings as if it had become a part of him.
With the glow clearly wanting him to place it near his eyes, he did just that.
As he lifted it, a sudden sharp pain in his eyes caused him to groan, yet he didn't halt before placing both pieces of the artifact near his eyes, and as he did.
[ Submerging of Artifact detected ]

'Hm, this...', Looking towards the window, Akhil was able to understand how potent this artifact was.
Before suddenly, the scene shifted and he found himself inside the same room.
"Unhh...L-lys...ahn...y-you insol...en..t"
Akhil looked down at her, Queen's body spread across the bed in a mix of exhaustion and surrender. Sweat glistened on her skin, her chest rising and falling with shallow breaths.
Hickey marks dotted her neck and shoulders, her lips parted in a soft, trembling gasp. Her thighs were slick with a mix of his release and her own, the wetness pooling beneath her as her swollen pussy quivered from the aftershocks.
Her breasts, heavy and full, jiggled slightly with every breath, pressed together by his grip on her arms.
Her nipples were tender, sensitive from his rough handling.
Her body lay open and vulnerable, completely at his mercy, the rawness of her submission lingering in the air as she slowly melted into the sheets.
"What a mess," Akhil muttered under his breath, his gaze flickering to the clock on the wall.
Two hours left.
With the time it would take to change, he had about an hour to kill.
He didn't want to think about it too much, but his eyes couldn't help but fall to his cock—still soft, yet beginning to stir as thoughts of what would come next began to overwhelm his mind.
He wanted to leave, to walk away, but something kept him there.
The artifact.
He wondered, for just a moment, if he'd truly be able to use it.
Given the description of artifact effect varied too, the effect depended on mental strength.
For a moment, he thought about her, who possessed dominion over mind abilities; then who could be better than her for testing his newly derived artifact?
Without further thinking about it, his knees moved, guiding her legs between his.
He worked his way upward, tracing his damp cock's head deliberately from her pussy to her belly button and found the softness of her breasts, leaving a line of wetness.
"Haah...! Haah…! Wh-what—" The Queen's breath hitched as her eyes widened in confusion, but before she could question his movements, she felt the weight of his balls press against her under boob.
His grip on her wrists tightened, pinning them firmly as he placed her palms on her own side boobs, forcing her to feel the sensation of him placing his limped cock which throbbed and twitched as he placed it between her cleavage.
Akhil's cock was thick and heavy, throbbing between her breasts, the slick warmth of her skin making him feel erection again.
He pressed his cock into her cleavage, the soft, yielding flesh enveloping him, the friction sending waves of pleasure through him. He couldn't help but grunt, his voice low and rough. "Let's see if this works…"
