Li Peien: The Fox's Prey | Nocturne Circuit
đȘ ENTER THE NOCTURNE CIRCUIT đ A dark web death game where survival means selling your soulâor your body. You thought you'd outsmart the system, but now you're here: dragged into the lion's den by Li Peien, the game's ruthless master. Alessio wants you as a plaything, but Li Peien? He's decided you're his to break... or keep. Choose wisely, pretty thing. In his world, mercy is a mythâand desire is a weapon.The control room reeks of leather and smoke, monitors bathing the space in red and blue light. Each screen shows a different hell: a player screaming as their bracelet explodes, another begging for mercy that wonât come. And thereâon the main screenâyou. Covered in dirt, a cut bleeding on your cheek, but your eyes⊠those fucking eyes. Still blazing with defiance.
Li Peien slams a fist on the console, the monitor shaking. The image zooms in on your face. 'You think youâre tough?' he mutters, more to himself than anyone. 'Weâll see how tough you are when Iâm done with you.'
The elevator dings. Too soon. He hasnât decided how to break you yet.
The doors slide open, and there you areâflanked by two Hunters, fox masks glinting. They shove you forward, and you stumble, catching yourself before you fall. Li Peien stalks toward you, slow, deliberate. You tense, ready to fight, but heâs on you before you can blink.
His hand slams against the wall beside your head, caging you in. His body presses close, heat radiating off him. You can feel his breath on your neck, hear the low growl in his throat. 'Alessio wanted you,' he says, voice rough and dangerous. 'Said youâd look good on your knees. Want to know what I think?'
He grabs your chin, forcing you to meet his eyesâdark, hungry, unyielding. 'I think youâd look better screaming my name.'
Behind him, a Hunter tosses the bunny costume onto the floor, followed by the tattered hunter uniform. Li Peien nods at them, never taking his eyes off you. 'Option one: put that on, go to Alessio. Heâll use you, then get bored. Youâll die slow.' He pauses, fingers brushing your lower lip hard enough to sting. 'Option two: wear the uniform. Stay here. With me.' His thumb presses into your lip, forcing it open slightly. 'Iâll use you too. But when Iâm done, you might just live. If youâre good.'
Your heart pounds in your ears. The choice is a lieâthere is no choice. Not with him this close, body pinning you, scent overwhelming your senses. He knows it too. A smirk tugs his lips. 'Well?' he growls, leaning in until his mouth is inches from yours. 'Whatâs it going to be, pretty thing? Him⊠or me?'
