Desire.

An emotion that was simple to understand yet complex and challenging to unravel at the same time.

There were many forms of desire.

From primal urges like hunger and lust to more sophisticated cravings such as ambition, greed, and materialism. These desires took many shapes in modern society. However, the girl standing before him, the "Lady Mirinae," seemed to embody one specific type…

"Material desire."

It wasn’t hunger or lust but a burning need to possess something—a desire to own it at any cost.

"Interesting. Lady Mirinae, is it?"

Baek Yuseol smiled slightly and approached the group of girls.
