The last thing Seraphina remembered was the blinding glare of headlights and the bone-crushing impact of metal. The world had gone black, and when she opened her eyes again, she was somewhere impossibly familiar.
A grand castle stretched before her, its towering spires piercing a darkened sky. The scent of roses and magic filled the air. Her heart pounded as she took a step forward, the luxurious weight of a corset and silk dress reminding her—this wasn't her world.
Then, realization hit like a lightning strike.
Because she knew this place.
This was the Celestial Palace, the heart of Eros Unbound, the RPG she had spent years developing.
Seraphina's head pounded as she steadied herself against a marble pillar. The world around her—ornate chandeliers, velvet curtains, and gold-trimmed floors—felt like a dream.
Or rather, a nightmare.
A cold sweat ran down her spine. The game was infamous for its high-risk, high-reward romance system. Five powerful, devastatingly beautiful men, each capable of claiming her in different ways. But if she failed to seduce them, she could expect only brutal "bad ends."
And then, as if the game itself were mocking her, a golden system window flickered into existence before her eyes.
[CHARACTER DATABASE: MALE LEADS]
Her fingers trembled as she tapped the first profile.

[1. Lucien Duskbane – The Duke of Shadows]
Description:
A vision of pure temptation, Lucien Duskbane was sculpted like a god of the night. His raven-black hair, always immaculately styled, framed a face both cruel and hypnotic. His sapphire-blue eyes gleamed like polished gemstones, always watching, always calculating.
His presence was suffocating in its intensity. Clad in an impeccably tailored black coat, lined with silver embroidery and fastened with intricate clasps, he was every bit the exiled noble who had carved out his own empire from the shadows.
The air around him crackled with power, an aura of control so absolute that even kings feared his name.
Charm Rating: 99/100 – Overwhelmingly Alluring
Seraphina exhaled sharply. Yeah, I should've known he'd be ridiculously hot.
---
She hesitated before clicking on the next name.

[2. Commander Caius Draven – The Crimson General]
Description:
The embodiment of raw power, Caius Draven was a force of nature wrapped in a warrior's frame. His spiky red hair, unruly yet striking, made him stand out even on the battlefield. His amber eyes, sharp and predatory, held the fire of a man who lived and breathed war.
Broad-shouldered and clad in dark military armor trimmed in crimson, he was both a soldier and a beast. Every movement he made was precise, disciplined—yet there was an untamed energy beneath his skin, like a tightly coiled spring waiting to snap.
Even the way he stood radiated dominance, a man used to leading, used to being obeyed.
Charm Rating: 96/100 – Dangerously Irresistible
Seraphina swallowed hard. I designed him to be the perfect knight… and now I have to seduce him?
---
She tapped the next profile, bracing herself.
---
[3. Crown Prince Aldric Valmond – The Golden Sovereign]
Description:
The very embodiment of noble perfection, Aldric Valmond was the kind of man who could command a battlefield and a throne room with equal ease. His golden-blond hair, always neatly swept back, shone under the light, catching every golden hue. His sapphire-blue eyes were piercing, filled with sharp intelligence and quiet intensity.
Tall and broad-shouldered, his body was built like a warrior rather than a fragile noble. His finely tailored navy and gold attire exuded power, his presence radiating control. Yet beneath that composed exterior lay something dangerous—something waiting to be unleashed.
Charm Rating: 95/100 – Devastatingly Handsome
Seraphina clenched her fists. I should never have given him that smirk. That smirk is lethal.
---
She hesitated before selecting the next name.
---
[4. Valen Astraeus – The Arcane Prodigy]
Description:
If the stars themselves had chosen a favorite, it would be Valen Astraeus. His light blue hair, always neatly tied back in a low ponytail, shimmered like ice in the moonlight. His mismatched eyes—one gold, one sapphire—held an ethereal glow, like twin celestial bodies orbiting one another.
Draped in elegant robes embroidered with constellations, he was the very image of arcane brilliance. His beauty was delicate yet arresting, his expressions carefully measured. But beneath the scholar's grace lay something untouchable—a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
Charm Rating: 98/100 – Impossible to Resist
Seraphina exhaled. I always loved his aesthetic… but now that I'm here? I might not survive him.
---
Finally, she clicked on the last name.
---
[5. Elias Montclair – The Sinful Priest]
Description:
He was beautiful in a way that defied reason—an angel draped in corruption. Elias Montclair was divinity itself, with long, flowing silver-white hair cascading over his shoulders. His violet eyes glowed softly, holding both serenity and something far darker beneath.
Clad in pristine white robes embroidered with celestial gold patterns, he appeared the very picture of purity. But the way his lips curved—subtle, knowing—hinted at something more sinful. Something dangerous.
Charm Rating: 97/100 – Divine and Forbidden
Seraphina's hands shook as she shut the system window.
She was screwed.
---
[QUEST UPDATED: Unlock All Five Endings]
A cold realization settled over her. The only way out of this world was through it. That meant she had to navigate each of these dangerously tempting men and survive their love—and their lust.
Her adventure had only just begun.
---
Seraphina paced the length of the lavish palace chamber, fingers pressed to her temples. The golden system window had faded, but its message remained burned into her mind.
[QUEST UPDATED: Unlock All Five Endings]
She had no choice. The only way to escape this world was by reaching each of the five male leads' endings. But which one should she pursue first?
Each man wasn't just powerful—he was a pillar of the kingdom. The world of Eros Unbound was built around them, and now that she was inside the game, she needed to think strategically.
She exhaled, forcing herself to recall everything she had designed about the setting.

The Kingdom of Eryndale – The Jewel of the Continent
A vast and prosperous empire, Eryndale was the seat of power in the known world. Divided into multiple regions, it was ruled by King Alistair Valmond, though real control was often fought over by noble houses, religious leaders, and foreign forces.
The Royal Capital, Valoria – The heart of Eryndale, where politics, luxury, and betrayal walked hand in hand. The palace where Seraphina currently stood was located here.
The Holy City of Solmaris – The religious capital, where Elias Montclair commanded the Celestial Church's influence over kings and empires.
The Arcane Citadel – A fortress of magic, where Valen Astraeus studied the very fabric of reality.
The Northern Wastes – The Battlefield of Astraea –A brutal, frozen expanse ruled by Caius Draven and his war-hardened legions.
The Duke's Territory – A forbidden region of intrigue, where Lucien Duskbane spun his web of power.

Seraphina groaned and flopped onto the massive bed.
"This is insane," she muttered. "Do I go for safety first? Or power? Or do I just pick the one I actually want?"
Her stomach twisted. In the game, she had loved all of them in different ways. But now that she was inside this world, it wasn't just about desire.
It was about survival.
And the worst part?
She wasn't sure if she wanted to survive without experiencing the full game first.
---
Seraphina exhaled slowly. This wasn't just a game anymore. It was real. And each of these men controlled a part of it.
Who should she choose first?
She bit her lip, considering her options.
Lucien – Powerful but dangerous.
Aldric– The safest choice but politically risky.
Valen – A wildcard, unpredictable.
Caius – A beast on the battlefield, difficult to control.
Elias – The priest with unholy desires.
She groaned and flopped onto the massive bed.
"Do I go for safety first? Or power? Or do I just pick the one I actually want?"
And the worst part?
She wasn't sure if she wanted to survive without experiencing the full game first.
Her hand hovered over the system window, the options glowing before her.
There was no time left.
She had to press 'start' soon.
