Sitting on that plastic-covered couch, lost in a total daze. colors, shapes, and a feeling of floating in a vacuum. I could feel the power of the lust and desire I drained from Renee coursing through my veins like some powerful drug. My body is trying to figure out how to process the energy running rampant throughout. A feeling of being high like I never felt before. The closest thing my mind could compare it to was the time I smoked so much weed that for hours I was just lying there on the couch with some friends while I kept telling them I was so high I was seeing God. And I am not even religious.
The pull for more seemed to scream in my head. To get up and take the next person I saw, then the next. To take the life force of those around me and feed, to grow stronger. Show the world it was nothing but a small speck in a multiverse of powerful beings, of which I am one. I could feel myself spiraling, drawn to that, and yet a small part screamed out at me from the fog.
An instinct seemed to take over as I started pushing that energy into my core, not to let it run rampant through my body but to direct it, to harness it. I couldn't let it consume me and lose myself to some primal path. A centered part of me knew such a thing was wrong, that it would not serve me at all, but instead control me. I refused to be controlled by anyone.
Using that thought, I felt the strength within my own mind push through the fog. I started following, pushing, and guiding all of that energy to my very center. It was small, my core, with brilliant colors that swirled around in a kaleidoscope of shapes and forms. I watched as it latched onto that energy coursing through me, and like a whirlpool, that stream of power flowed slowly into my core, adding brilliant reds to flash and mix in for a time. The deep red temporarily became the primary color within my core. Finally, I felt like I could breathe normally again, my vision returning as the bright colors faded and the normal, mundane world came back into focus.
“Fuck me, that was a trip.” Literally and figuratively. I felt like I could sleep for a day while the energy I had absorbed still swirled around in my core. Was this the equivalent of a food coma nap, often what you would need after a large holiday meal? Rubbing my face, trying to stop myself from falling into that desire, I noticed the rapid blinking in the corner of my right eye. Sighing, as part of me really didn't want to deal with it. That same part that has been procrastinating, finding excuses, and finding things to keep me busy. It was rejecting everything that had happened to me in such a short while. How does one come to terms with something straight out of fantasy and imagination? Not like there were any self-help books I could download on how to acclimate mentally to the System.
I laughed softly at the thought. It was real, and I could feel the changes to my body. to all the weird things happening to me and around me. “Fuck. “ I really needed someone else, not my guide, just another person to help me with this, but right now I didn't have that. I didn't do well trying to sort things on my own like this. Not that I needed other people to make decisions for me, but having someone to talk to, to share this roller coaster of events, and just a sounding board.
Bringing up the Notification screen, deciding first that I should take a look at the rewards I got for claiming a shelter. Accepting the level up, a wave of pleasure rushed through me, causing a loud moan to fill the air while my body shuddered from the effects. Taking the moment to collect my breath, I put my free points into [Wis] as my guide recommended. Losing control scared me. I could accept that the System was bringing out truths about who I was deep down. Could I admit I was a pervert, I enjoyed sex, and it was on my mind quite a lot? Yes. I still wasn't sure how much I liked having it thrust in my face by the System, though. I also didn't like how much this bloodline bullshit was trying to push its way to the forefront, trying to take away my free will.
System Updates initiated.
Please read the patch notes in the Wiki. Any changes that affect you will appear in notifications.
The following changes are system-wide.
Added a new Stat Perception.
Perception
Classified as a mental skill, this stat will help those with high dexterity to keep up with the increased speed and agility. This stat will work in conjunction with INT to help process information faster without taxing mental acuity.
The skill system has been changed due to some assholes who have used this loophole to extremes. Skills are split into two categories. Active and Passive. If you have a skill set to Active, then it can be leveled. Passive skills still work, but can not be leveled. These can be switched out once per System Day. Race and Class will dictate how many Active skills one can have. Traits, perks, and System rewards can add or subtract from this number.
The following notifications are for specific users.
The following Race has been combined with several other versions to create a more streamlined race.
Futarni
This race is an artificially created species spanning several universes. generally in response to some catastrophic event. Futarni are considered an upgrade from the basic Human species. Combining the Genetics of both the Male and female, generally of human origins. The Futarni are able to breed females of almost any Humanoid race. Futarni can be bred. but only by other Futarni. They tend to be smarter, stronger, and have more endurance than Humans and are considered a Legendary race. With added bonuses at higher levels. They have a limit of 8 active skills, with an increase of 1 active max skill every five levels.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
+1 to STR,END,INT every level
+1 to VIT,CHR, and WIS every 3 levels.
One ability every 5 levels
3 class perks at creation.
Please note that some perks were moved to abilities.
You have six more skills to pick from.
The following changes pertain to Pre-Integrated worlds.
As you level and see stat increases,those increases will only be in effect within your safe zones or system-controlled areas. Upon Integration, those stats will be updated to current levels. Stats can still be increased normally (So, a big hint, take advantage while you can)
Bloodline increased by 5% to the next rank.
Congratulations
You have unlocked access to Sexual Energy. Note, it appears as SE on your status tab.
You have gained a new skill.
Affinity: Sexual Energy
Figures. Well, this was a new one. I brought up the description.
Sexual Energy
As a sex demon, you feed off the Sexual Energy of others. This can be done either through sexual acts or you can pull it directly from bonded members of your harem that you have had sexual relations with. Also, some Succubus combat abilities have the ability as well. This energy is used to fuel the powers of your demonic nature. Also, due to your Race as a sexual being, you will receive an additional 50% when you feed.
Kinda cool, I guess. Looking at the new stat, I saw I had three points. Easy to figure out how much I got from that little tryst and the bonus.
Well, that was a lot to take in. Fuck did the system just do a major balance patch? That got me giggling for a minute. So I had skills to pick, but there didn't seem to be a huge rush to choose them right at this time. Will consider what to get when I have more information. It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since this all happened.
My phone went off, startling me. Shit. I guess I get service down here.
{This is a major weather advisory. Warming: A Major snowstorm is heading to the San Angeles area. Expected arrival within two to three hours. The Estimated snowfall is ten to eleven inches.}
Well Damn. That is going to put a damper on things.
Peeling myself off the couch, I noticed the key card and keys to the lock left on the coffee table. Picking them up, I make my way back upstairs, wondering how long I've been down there. I wanted to spend time going through the shelter and see what options were available, but life would not wait for me. Maybe with this storm coming, I will have time to start digging into all of this. Before getting on the elevator, I brought up my status sheet to see what I was getting out of the Systems area of influence.
Taking a moment, I quickly scanned over everything and noticed not just where things had been moved but also name changes to abilities. Nodding as if nothing seemed to be out of place. I liked how the screen seemed to make more sense while I closed it out and hit the button for the elevator shooting up. In that moment, I feel a weakness rush over me, leaving the system's full influence.
OK, wow, that is a huge difference. Still, it gives me an advantage in preparing for things to come. To focus on increasing as many stats as I can to give me an edge when the time comes. Stepping back into my penthouse, I find Marie just returning from shopping. Quickly, I rush over to help her bring in the groceries from the lobby.
“Thank you, Miss Garner. I received an alert for the incoming storm. Miss Carpenter texted me to let me know she would be staying a few days. So hopefully this should last till things clear up some.” Seeing her smile, I easily return it.
“Thank you, Marie, you are a lifesaver, and sorry for not telling you. She informed me right before Renee came in. “ Taking in a deep breath, I realized that Marie was giving off a thick scent of lust every time she looked at me. Just yet another thing for future me to look over, adding that to my list.
Perhaps I should consider bringing her into the harem. I found out after Marie started working for us that she had been studying towards a chemistry degree. But her grandmother got extremely sick, so she dropped out to take care of her. After her grandmother's death, Grandfather hired her, and she has been working here ever since.
Drawing myself out of those thoughts, I had to tell myself one thing at a time. “ Speaking of, I imagine Katie will be here within the next few hours. I have some things I need to do before she gets here. I'll be in the office if you need me. “ Then pausing, “ oh, and Marie buzz me when Katie gets here, don't let her try and surprise me, please.
