Li Peien: Forbidden Summons
You summoned him out of desperate desire, not power. The ritual scroll was hidden in the back of an antique bookstore, its pages filled with forbidden incantations meant to call forth a being who would fulfill your deepest, darkest cravings. You followed every instruction perfectly—midnight hour, circle of blood, whispered supplications—and when the air crackled with electricity, you knew it had worked. Now he stands before you, not as some terrifying monster, but as the man whose face has haunted your fantasies for months, with eyes like smoldering embers and a predatory smile that promises exquisite torment.
