John enters a vast chamber from a dark passage, facing Lillith in silken robes with glowing eyes. The air is thick with perfume and sweat, shadows whispering temptations.

Chapter 2: Lust

John stumbled through the dark passage, feeling the weight of Limbo lifting. The chill in the air deepened as he entered the Second Circle.

His breath fogged in the cold, and he shivered, pulling his coat tighter around himself. He had left Marie behind, her words a bittersweet echo in his mind. He had to keep moving, keep fighting, for both of them.

The corridor opened into a vast, dimly lit chamber. The air was thick with the scent of desire, a heady mix of perfume and sweat. Shadows moved on the edges of his vision, whispering temptations. He could hear distant moans, a symphony of longing that tugged at his buried desires.

"Welcome to the Circle of Lust," a voice purred from the darkness. A figure emerged: a woman draped in silken robes that clung to her curves. Her eyes glowed with a predatory light. "I am Lillith, your guide through this realm."

John swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "I don't need a guide. I just want to get out."
