In Elysia's glow, desire reigns high,
Sorceress and demon in a lover's lie,
A dance of power, hearts ensnared,
In Luxuria's light, all is bared.

In a world where desire is the most valuable currency, relationships and power intertwine in an intricate dance of longings and aspirations. This is the world of Elysia, a hierarchical society where the quantity and intensity of desire directed towards a person determine their social standing. Here, desire moves everything; there are no monetary transactions, only the yearning of others that drives people to act, give, and serve.

Elysia is inhabited by supernatural beings, primarily sorceresses and demons, who dominate the upper echelons of this social pyramid. These beings are not only desired for their powers and appearances but also for the intensity of the fascination they invoke in others.

Our protagonist, Ariana, is a sorceress. Not only is she the most desired among her kind, but she is also the central figure of Elysia's elite. Her presence is magnetic, and her dance at the world's most exclusive club, Luxuria, is an event no one wants to miss. Luxuria is a place where only the most desired can enter, and being desired by someone from this elite counts far more than any other desire.

Ariana has a relationship with Raziel, the most desired demon of all. Their union is not out of love, nor even mutual desire. In fact, Ariana and Raziel do not desire each other, which prevents them from reaching the highest power in Elysia, where only those who desire each other can fully rule. However, as a couple, they are immensely desired, securing them a privileged position.

Elysia's society doesn't understand the complexities of Ariana and Raziel's relationship. They see a perfect couple, two beings whose union symbolizes power and desire. But behind this façade, both struggle to maintain their position, aware that their relationship is a calculated strategy. To maintain and increase her allure, Ariana dedicates herself to perfecting her art at Luxuria, where every movement on stage captures hearts and heightens desire towards her. Raziel, on the other hand, uses his charisma and intellect to ensure that desire for him never wanes.

As night falls over Elysia, Luxuria fills with the most influential and desired figures in the world. Ariana prepares for her performance, conscious of every gaze that will be upon her. Every step of her dance is a spell, a net that ensnares and amplifies the longing of those present. Amidst the smoke and lights, Raziel watches from the shadows, his eyes fixed on Ariana, not out of desire, but out of necessity and strategy.

Desire is a dangerous game, and in Elysia, only the shrewdest and most calculating survive at the top. Ariana and Raziel know this well. In this world, where desire is everything, they play a complex game where every move counts, every look has a purpose, and every sigh can change the course of their lives.

Ariana steps onto the stage, the music begins, and with it, a new night of desire and temptation in Elysia.
