Recap of Chapter 35:Adrian faced the Diamond Temptation trial. Seraphina, the Diamond Mommy, ensnared him in chains that fed on his desire, forcing him to either kneel or resist. Against all odds, Adrian's willpower blazed through, loosening her hold and making her see him as worthy. But the system left him with one final decision: to accept Seraphina's Diamond Blessing or defy her and the system itself.
The grand hall was silent except for Adrian's ragged breaths. He still felt the ghost of the chains digging into his skin, the aftershocks of their wicked pleasures running through every vein. Across from him, Seraphina stood like a goddess of temptation and judgment — dangerous, breathtaking, untouchable.
Her jeweled hand hovered in the air, waiting for his choice.
The system pulsed in his vision:
[Decision Required.]Accept: Unlock Diamond Mommy Privileges + Blessing of Seraphina.Refuse: Initiate Defiance Path (Warning: High Failure Risk).
Adrian's jaw tightened. He had fought tooth and nail through every Mommy's trial, and he knew that sometimes the only way forward was to embrace the danger, not run from it.
"I accept," he said, his voice steady despite the storm inside.
Seraphina's lips parted in a slow smile — not mocking this time, but approving, hungry. She clasped his hand, and the moment their skin touched, his body was overwhelmed by a surge of power.
The diamonds embedded in her dress began to glow, scattering prisms of light across the marble floor. The system's voice boomed in his head, louder than ever before:
[Congratulations, Host!][Diamond Mommy Blessing Activated.]Perks Unlocked:
Diamond Bond: Increased power from every Sugar Mommy relationship.
Temptation Immunity (Partial): Resistance to system-induced desire overload.
Diamond Tier Quests: New challenges now accessible.
Adrian gasped, his vision swimming as the new power rushed into him. His body felt lighter yet heavier all at once — like he was both shackled and liberated.
Seraphina leaned in close, her lips grazing his ear. "Now you are mine, Adrian. And I… am yours. But never forget — the Diamond Blessing cuts both ways. What you gain from me, you also risk losing if you falter."
Celeste finally stepped forward, her eyes wide with a mix of awe and wariness. "Adrian… do you even understand what you've just done? You've tied yourself to the most dangerous Mommy of them all."
Adrian straightened, meeting Seraphina's gaze. "Dangerous or not, she made me stronger. That's all that matters."
Seraphina chuckled low, her fingers brushing down his chest like a promise and a threat. "Oh, you'll learn, darling. Strength is never free."
The system chimed again, interrupting the tension:
[New Quest Unlocked: The Trial of Desire's Throne.]Objective: Establish dominance within the Sugar Palace using your newfound power.]Reward: Diamond Crown Artifact.]
Adrian blinked. "Desire's… throne?"
Celeste's lips thinned. "The Palace is shifting. The system's hierarchy is changing because of you. This new quest… it means someone will try to take everything you've built."
As if on cue, the walls of the grand hall trembled. The chandeliers above flickered, diamonds scattering sparks across the room. A rumble echoed through the Palace, and from the far side, the sound of approaching footsteps thundered closer.
Adrian turned sharply.
The doors burst open.
A new figure strode in — taller than Adrian, broad-shouldered, cloaked in black. His eyes glowed with a strange light, and the aura rolling off him wasn't Mommy-like at all. It was masculine, sharp, hostile.
The system's interface burned crimson.
[Warning: Rival Host Detected.]Name: Kael.System: Dark Sugar Daddy Protocol.]
Adrian froze. A rival? Another system host?
Seraphina's expression shifted, her confident smirk replaced by a flicker of interest. "Well, well… looks like the game just got spicier."
Kael's voice rumbled like thunder. "Adrian Velarion… I've been watching you climb. Collecting Mommies. Building your harem. You think you're special?" His glare was cold, merciless. "You're just another piece in the system's cruel game. And now… I'm here to crush you."
Adrian's fists clenched. His new blessing surged within him, the Diamond Bond pulsing like a second heartbeat.
The system's voice roared:
[New Trial Initiated: Host vs. Host.]Objective: Defeat Kael in the Battle for Desire's Throne.]Failure Consequence: Loss of Diamond Mommy Bond.]
Celeste gasped, her voice cracking. "Adrian, if you lose… Seraphina will be taken from you."
The hall shook again as Kael drew closer, his aura pressing down like a storm. Adrian raised his chin, his heart hammering. He had fought Mom-quests, lust trials, and desire chains… but this was different. This was war.
And for the first time, the Sugar Mommy System revealed its cruelest truth: he wasn't the only player.
