Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Gauntlet

A deep rumble echoed.

From the far side of the room, a door lit up, seared with blood-red sigils.

The next chamber waited.

The reward room.

It felt as if they were stepping into the vault of a lavish emperor. A vampiric emperor.

Gone were the rotting walls, the weeping stone, and the haunted chill of the dungeon behind them. Instead, velvet drapes and golden sconces lined the interior. Chandeliers of blood-red crystal floated in the air, buzzing with magical energy.

Rich carpets covered the marble floor. Tables piled high with treasure sat in circles, untouched for what felt like centuries. Gold coins, jeweled goblets, vampire-made weapons, and bizarre trophies from forgotten wars.

The party stood still for a full breath.

Then Luna blinked.

"... This gotta be a trap, right?"

No one answered.

Luna’s expression slowly shifted. Her pupils dilated. A greedy glint sparkled in her eyes as her mouth curled into a grin.

Then, wordlessly, she opened her backpack.

Aria sighed. "Oh, no."

Too late. Luna had already started shoveling coins, rings, and a particularly shiny dagger into her bag like a squirrel on caffeine. She snickered under her breath as she worked.

"Loot goblin... Nyx laughed, then gave a helpless shrug, and joined her. "With this much, we could afford all the gear we want. Maybe even a private tower. Paying off my debt to that disgusting man would be a mere drop in the bucket."

Bastet’s eyes shone as she twirled a silk drape between her fingers. "Mmm... sleeping beside this kind of aesthetic... So delicious~ I’m already redecorating my den in my mind."

Aria didn’t like what she was hearing. "We’re selling them! You’ll have to decorate your room with something else."

"I’m not selling a single candlestick. You’ll have to kill me!" Bastet declared with a hiss.

Kaiden didn’t say a word.

He wasn’t paying attention to the gold. Or the ancient weapons. Or even the magical artifacts in gilded boxes.

His gaze was locked on the center of the room.

Where a single, plain dais stood beneath a cone of crimson light.

And atop it: a gauntlet.

It was made of simple iron and had no decoration. No aura. No mystery.

No presence.

It didn’t belong here, among all these expensive items.

And yet...

Kaiden stepped toward it, drawn by something deeper than logic. His instincts were screaming. That gauntlet mattered. His whole body felt it. His Gluttony Sin resonance pulsed, and his eyes gained a hint of orange in them as he almost transitioned to the Sin Stance without thinking.

But it was not mere gluttony on his part. No, the sin wasn’t feeling gluttonous. Instead, it was excited to make the acquaintance of this item.
