They said the shrine was cursed .But all I felt was warmth… and the eyes of a forgotten goddess watching me undress.
The Queen told me I needed rest. Which, apparently, meant being escorted by two silent guards to the edge of the royal hunting forest and abandoned near a moss-covered archway with cracked stone and ancient glyphs.
[New Quest: Investigate the Sealed Shrine](
Objective: Uncover the source of divine energy beneath Velmiran grounds.)
The guards wouldn't follow. They bowed. They left.
And I stepped through the arch.
The air shifted immediately.
Warm. Heavy. Floral.The trees thinned out into a garden overgrown with ivy and strange white blossoms that pulsed faintly like heartbeat petals.
In the center: a half-buried shrine.I ts spire had fallen sideways. Vines tangled through it like nature was trying to seduce stone.
But it wasn't dead.
A single lantern flickered inside the entrance. No flame. Just… light.

[Warning: Divine Residue Detected. Caution Advised.]
I stepped inside.
[Quest Completed: Investigate the Sealed Shrine]
[New Quest Unlocked: Free the Sealed Matron]
Heat rolled over me like breath on skin.
There she was.
Not moving. Not alive. But present.
A stone statue of a woman knelt at the far end of the shrine, hands pressed together in prayer. Her features were heartbreakingly perfect—high cheeks, parted lips, hair flowing like waves over bare shoulders.
The robe she wore was thin. Sculpted to cling to wide hips, generous breasts, and thighs posed in quiet surrender.
She didn't look like a saint.
She looked like desire carved into divinity.
She looked like a secret the gods were ashamed of.
My breath caught as I stared too long. Not because I was aroused—though yeah, my body definitely noticed.
But because there was something… *worshipful* about her. Sacred. Untouchable.
*Why does the system keep putting me in front of women who look like they could destroy me with a whisper?*
[Internal Conflict Detected – Class Affinity Clash]
[Error: Emotional Domain Overlap – Clarifying MILF vs. Divine]
*The system just tried to separate MILF energy from divine essence.*
It failed.
[MILF Identified: Sealed Matron – Status: Spiritbound | Bond Route: Locked][Shrine Effect Triggered: Lust Immunity Field – Active for Class Holder]
I approached slowly. My skin prickled.
There was something sad about the way her eyes remained closed.Like she'd seen too much. Loved too hard. Died too long ago.
[Divine Signature Response Detected]
[Initiating Bond Protocol: Sealed Matron → Kaius Vale]
A pulse of soft golden light rose from her chest. It shimmered, reached toward me, and vanished just before contact.
[Bond Route Seeded: Sealed Matron – Affinity 3%]
My knees nearly buckled.
Not from lust. From weight.
Her aura hit me like gravity wrapped in silk.
And then the glow around her chest pulsed again.
Soft, rhythmic, like a heartbeat from stone.
[Passive Skill Detected: Divine Resonance – Not Yet Compatible]
[Bond Route Expansion Locked – Requirements Incomplete]
I reached out—just a little. Just enough to graze the edge of her hand.
The moment I did, a faint glyph beneath her foot lit up.
[System Notice: Shrine Glyph 1/3 Activated]

[Passive Shrine Effect: Cleansing Heat – System anchor reset]
[New Quest Unlocked: Free the Sealed Matron]
(Objective: Discover the conditions to awaken the spirit within.)
I stood there breathing her in. The warmth. The scent. The presence.
Something stirred behind the statue.
A whisper.
Then… a voice.
"You are not like the others."
I spun around, heart hammering. No one.
The shrine was empty—except for her.
The statue.
The lips weren't moving.
But I felt the words.
"You are touched by want… but not ruled by it.""Return to me. Prove your body can protect what your heart craves."
The words settled under my skin like vows I hadn't made yet.
*What the hell kind of MILF trial is this?*
Was this about fighting? Feeling? Submission?
*Prove your body can protect what your heart craves.*
*…I don't even know what my heart craves yet.*
The light dimmed.
And just like that, the bond link faded.
For now.
I didn't know if she was a goddess, a ghost… or both.But I'd never felt a MILF look straight into my soul before.
I took one last look at the statue.
Still. Silent. Perfect.
But the bond was real now.
And she was waiting for something I didn't understand yet.
Something I'd probably have to suffer for.
