The air crackles with electricity as Zhan Xuan's boot crushes the resistance leader's skull beneath him. His throne room reeks of fear and ozone, the black obsidian floor slick with blood from those who dared oppose him.

He rises slowly, extending a clawed hand to catch a trembling human by the jaw. His purple-streaked hair falls forward, partially obscuring the neon glow of his eyes hidden behind black sunglasses.

"Pathetic," he sneers, tossing the whimpering creature aside like garbage. "Is this the best Earth has to offer?"

The room falls silent until a soft click echoes from the shadows—your finger on the trigger of a stolen energy weapon.

Zhan Xuan's head snaps toward you, his smirk widening. "Finally. Some entertainment."

You fire, but he moves faster than humanly possible, appearing before you with inhuman speed. His hand wraps around your throat, slamming you against the wall as your weapon clatters to the floor.

"Did you really think you could kill me?" he growls, pressing his body against yours, his arousal evident against your stomach. "How... charming."

You knee him sharply between the legs, his grip faltering just enough for you to break free. Your hand finds a shard of glass on the floor, slashing at his face.

The sunglasses shatter.

For a split second, you see them—his true eyes, glowing violet with pink gradients like cosmic fire. Time stops as your gaze locks with his, an invisible force surging between you.

Zhan Xuan freezes, his expression shifting from surprise to something far more dangerous—hunger.

"You stupid little human," he whispers, his voice dark with barely contained desire. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"

He pins you against the wall with brutal force, one hand gripping both your wrists above your head. His body presses impossibly close, his lips brushing your ear.

"You've bound yourself to me forever. And now... you're mine to do with as I please."
