Chapter 19: What?
The bronze door flashed pink behind Aika, its surface rippling like molten flesh before vanishing into smooth, veined stone, sealing her in the chamber's sultry grip.
Aika blinked, her breath catching in the musky, heated air. "...What?"
The room had transformed, its warm marble walls shimmering with a lewd, iridescent glow, pulsing in sync with the game's perverse heartbeat.
The floor melted from tile into plush, velvet-like padding, glowing faintly with runes that throbbed beneath her, mirroring her racing pulse, the chamber alive with the game's sadistic intent.
The air thickened, sweltering with a syrupy sweetness that clung to her skin, igniting a flush across her exposed neck.
Aika took a step back, her heels sinking into the velvet, her glasses fogging in the humid haze.
"Authority detected," the sultry AI voice intoned, its tone dripping with lascivious menace, echoing through the chamber's slick walls.
"Classification: Educator-class. Correction protocol: humility enforcement."
"What the hell is this?" she said aloud, spinning, her damp hair swaying, sweat beading on her brow as the game's interface prickled with unseen warnings.
