Jumping thru a hole in space less than two feet wide was not a safe idea but it worked even if sam got several energy burns across his body and his clothes and made his stomach feel like it was about to quit on him, on the other side of the hole there was nothing but darkness the only light came from the closing hole sam had made.

“Man, it’s cold in the void between dimensions,” sam thought as he watched his breath turn ice particles” I have to do something before I freeze or suffocate to death,” flipping around to he was in a standing position went over his situation. “Okay i can’t use the power of the demon in my left hand unless I want to do some real damage to it, I could use my right hand but it would be weaker than my left at twice the effort, plus I am already at the limit I set for myself years back, I don’t know how to use the power of ghost or witch to break dimensions I mean I could try but space is fickle. I guess I could call in a rain check with Daniel but,” sam stopped talking as to things happened sadness welled up at the thought of canceling on daniel his best and only friend, the other was the feeling of gravity taking hold of his body and pulling his forward.

Feeling gravity grabbed hold of his body Sam went on high alert, for nothing naturally existed in the void, not even gravity for it to bear here it had to be created or brought and the power to do so was no small amount.

Sam immediately used ghost power to negate gravity effects on him, floating backward sam stared at the direction the gravity was pulling towards as he gathered more ghost power in preparation of anything.

The only thing that happened was a portal opening in front of him. Unlike the hole, he tore open the portal looked stable and safe.

‘Are you coming?’ a most likely male voice spoke out from beyond the portal, “don’t be afraid I just want to talk, you have impressed me greatly”

A very unpleasant look formed on sam’s face as he started floated forward having no other choice if he wanted to leave the void or survive, as he moved closer to the portal slowly readied the ghost power he built up to attack at a moments notice.

Stopping in front of the portal sam mumble something that he would never repeat in front of his mother before he stepped into the portal.

Going through the portal was vastly different from going through the tear, for one it didn't give him any energy burns pulse it didn’t make him feel like he rode a twirl and hurl six times in a row after a feast of greasy carnival food, if anything it felt like swimming in a cold lake.

When sam reached the other side of the portal he found that he was in a throne room. The ceiling was about three stories up, the walls were a light blue and many paintings of sexual acts ranging solo to a straight-up orgy between the cream pillars that had snakes and some kind of bovine carved into them. Under sam’s feet was a long silk blue carpet with violent embroidery that when looked closer at spelled the lust repeatedly, the carpet stretched behind sam to a large and elegant granite door and in front of him to a throne that was on a story high elevated part of the floor. The elevated part of the floor was made of large silver stone steps. The throne was a large and very expensive embroidered pillow. Behind the throne was an enormous window that showed the night sky.

The window was what really worried sam, he couldn’t recognize any of the stars, that meant he had no clue where on earth he was if he was on earth.

The sound of stone scraping made sam turn around to see the granite doors opening just enough to let a figure through.

The figure was what looked like a male two years younger then sam, his skin was dark with red undertones and dark curly hair that look like someone gave up trying to straighten it halfway to the front, it was easy to tell that they were in great shape because the only thing they were wearing was a bed sheet badly wrapped around their waist.

Walking down the carpet the figure said nothing until he stopped in front of Sam “ hello Samuel, I must admit I am amazed how quickly you escaped the illusion I created”

“Who are you,” Sam asked politely whoever this was they were not someone that sam could fight at the moment, “because we obviously don’t know each other if you though that poorly made illusion would hold me” just because he couldn’t fight them doesn't mean he couldn’t annoy them.

“Your right we have never met but I have been watching you since you dealt with the sex trafficking ring last month.”

“How do you know that?!” it’s true he did take down a sex trafficking ring last month mostly because they tried to add him to it and he was the vengeful type plus he hated those who took the freedom of others and took advantage of them and he was in a really bad and stressed mood do to finals that month so he was taking it out on them, really all he did was break in to there hideout find a decent amount of information concerning the ring sent it to the police and then beat the crap out of them so no one would escape and he mad to leave a signature.

“ I was watching them because of my job and I happened to see you decimate them thoroughly, it must have been difficult”

Stolen novel; please report.

“Not really they were prepared for the police but they had never heard of anything like me before,” sam told them sounding bored, the ring was pretty small and new.

“That is true, you are one of a kind in so many ways” the joy in their voice creeped sam out.

“Man I hope they aren't a collector of some kind,” Sam thought to himself as he stepped back.

“Now I am sure you're wondering why I trapped you in a fake world” they spoke as they walked around sam and towards the throne.

“Yes but first would you mind telling me your name,” Sam told them as he turned to keep they in his sights.

“Yes, I guess I forgot my manner it has been a long time since I talked to anyone, my name is eros and I am a cosmic lord, the lord of lust to be precise,” Eros said starting off cheery then turning dead cold.

“What the hell is a cosmic lord, I know there are many mysteries in the world but this really out there,” sam thought.

“The reason I trapped in that fake world was to test you if you were worthy to be my heir” eros spoke as they climbed the stairs.

“Heir? you look too young to be looking for an heir” the eighteen-year-old said.

“Why thank you for the compliment but I am over 7 trillion years old, but I'm not dying I just found a person truly capable of being the lord of lust,” they responded the joy in their voice increased.

“7 trillion! that's older than the milky way, I think?” sam thought to himself “I am in some real abyssal deep mega scheisse aren't i.”

As eros sat on the throne they spoke again “ I had multiple stages in the fake world to test your character and ability, but I didn't expect that you would be capable of breaking out before the second phase could start I’m even more surprised that you noticed so fast, If you would be so kind as to inform me where I went wrong in the illusion?”

“Mostly details, like the fact that my house guest agreed with me to easily or the kitchen clock, hadn’t in more than twelve hours, or how several people entered my house without me noticing, small things really plus I have been trapped in a weaker one before” sam politely answered.

Eros hummed in thought before speaking again “I guess I should have taken the warnings of your planet’s gods more serious when they told me you were dangerous” the smile on eros face said that they were not really bothered by it.

Sam could say nothing to but a very uneasy smile appeared on his face.

“But, moving on because you broke out of the fake world i wasn’t able to get a good look at your charter but you did show me that you have power and skill to be a lord, it quite the problem for me,” the joyful tone vanished “thankful I know how to deal with it” was said in a sad tone.

Sam didn’t get a chance for a thought to form before eros appeared behind him, sam immediate turn around ready to blast them across the room with ghost telekinesis, only to be stopped short by eros grabbing his face, “this won’t hurt physically’.

Over the course of his young life sam has experienced many forms of pain, small things like scraping his knees and hands while playing at a park when he was about 2 or 3, to big things like being stabbed five times with a thousand degree knife, and it was not just physical things there were mental pain like the illusion that he was trapped in for whole thirty days and nights the replayed all the deaths he had witnessed, and spiritual pain when his soul was half-eaten by that two thousand crazy spirts. With all he has experienced sam thought that nothing could compare anymore.

But eros proved him wrong he hadn’t thought possible he made relive his life, every single moment of it from the second he was born to this very nanosecond, and it wasn’t like watching a movie no sam felt, saw, tasted, heard and smelt everything he had in his life, both the great and horrible, the blood he spilled, the death he saw, the battles he fought, the sights he saw, the emotions he felt.

It all rushed over him at that moment

And

It awakened something he has been carrying deeply hidden in his heart for almost 14 years

HATRED

Pure hatred that consumes his mind body and soul every time it was set free, a moment before it completely consumed him he thought “this happened once again” with complete despair before he turns back to his original appearance.

During that moment eros had gone through about ten years of sam’s life and could only think, “this kid could have been the lord of lust by the time he was ten, how the hell did I notice him,” then he realized what was happening with at the moment just as the boy looked at him with demon red slit eyes “oh great” they said before they blocked a knee to the face.

The side effect of sam’s ability is becoming, the more power he uses the more he becomes, to prevent himself from turning into a demon witch or ghost sam set limits on how much power he could use and still, for the most part, be human as well a revert within a few days or so. Breaking out while difficult was within the limits sam set, but there were incidents that made the self-made limits worthless, like when his emotions consumed him.

This was a case of his hatred resonating with his demon power in his body it was worse because of he already had faint demon thoughts in the back of his head that sam had no problem suppressing, then he got angry and well it best you read for yourself

When eros blocked the knee sam brought up the other one to there chest when the knee hit sam felt like he was hitting a block of tank grade metal maybe something stronger as his kneecap shattered.

‘AAAAAAHHHHHH’ as he screamed in pain sam blasted with more ghost telekinesis at Eros’s eyes that did little more than blow his hair a bit.

When sam was about to unleash the fourth attack, eros narrowed his eyes and sam felt his skull shattered and his body disintegrate.

“Have you calmed down?” eros asked there cheerful tone returning as nothing had passed.

As for sam he was drenched in a cold sweat unbreathing still as a statue, “that was incredible, it’s been so long since felt such thorough fear this is the second time I knew that there was no way I could ever escape” as afraid as he was also excited because he very deep down is a battle junky. He didn’t like the fact that he was but he was.

“Okay so you haven’t calmed down but I can work with this” eros then tossed sam into there pillow throne.

Then before sam could react eros was sitting on his center of gravity and had his hands pinned to his chest, in a moment sam figure two things one there was no way he was getting up until eros released him, two eros was not a man.

“I hope you are comfortable because I need to tell you the story of how the title of Lord of lust came to be.
