“Oh, my head.”
I groaned as I pulled myself up. How much did I have to drink last night? It felt like a marching band was performing inside my skull. If T-Bone slipped me some ex again as a joke, just to get me on camera like he did at the last party, I was going to have to kill him.
Wait. T-Bone. He got hit, right? The Barbarians ambushed us, but we fought them off. Gave better than we got, too. T-Bone was hit, and then Horse was next to her, looking like…
I opened my eyes. This… was not my room. Or the hospital. Or any hotel I knew of within a hundred miles of Peekskill. Those hotels didn’t have stone walls, and they didn’t use candles and torches for lighting.
“Where the hell am I?” I spoke, but the words didn’t sound like me. Even groggy from what must have been too much booze to chase away a wild night, I knew that voice wasn’t mine. My voice didn’t sound like pure sex just talking.
I lifted a hand to try and slap some sense into myself, and stopped. Red skin? And what was with those fingernails? No way you could ride a bike with those pointy nails that looked almost like claws. You’d be breaking nails or worse all the time, and no way could you get gloves for those things. And RED SKIN???
I quickly looked around the room. Big bed, like Queen size, minimum, with sheets that felt like silk, and the high end stuff, too. Some art on the wall, fancy frames. Couple statues, looked like marble. Weapon rack. Wardrobe. Vanity table. Mirror! A full length mirror! Perfect!
Getting up, out of bed, I made my way over to the mirror, and gaped. This wasn’t my body. Sure, I kept in shape, and I was curvy in the hourglass way, not the Goodyear blimp way that people had turned the term into. But still, I didn’t look like THIS!
Red skin was only the start. Ignoring the fact that I was bare ass naked, I had abs! Like, actual, defined abs. And my tits were still a D cup, maybe more! I’d been fit, but never six-pack abs fit! And I used to be a healthy C!
I definitely had an hourglass figure, now, with hips that Playboy playmates would kill for. My hair was long, and wavy, with a reddish-black hue. My face… well, it mostly looked the same, except I was missing the scar over my right eye from that one fight in Albany. Oh, and my eyes were a glowing red.
And yeah, I definitely wasn’t human anymore. Either that, or someone had put me in for mods I didn’t even know existed. Horns curling back out of my head like a ram, batlike wings that I could actually move, and a long, sinuous tail sticking out just above my nice, round ass, and hoof feet like I was some kind of demon. A sexy demon! Fuck, I wasn’t even a dyke, and I would fuck the hell out of me!
No, I couldn’t go down that line of thought right now. Tearing my gaze away from the mirror, I moved to the wardrobe. Opening it, I saw all sorts of dresses, gowns, and robes. But one, in particular, stuck out at me.
DING!
Mhyrsha’s Magnificent Robes
Type
Armor
Rank
Uncommon
The personal robes of Mhyrsha the Enchantress. In addition to their ability to shift with her as she changes shapes, the robes provide more protection from weapons and magic than you might expect. They have also been enchanted to aid in seduction, and to increase the effectiveness of Enchantment and Illusion effects.
+20 Defense
+20 CHA
Seductress – Seduction skill is 20% more effective.
Beguiler – Illusion and Enchantment spells or abilities cast by the wearer are 20% more effective.
Soulbound – Soulbound to Mhyrsha. Cannot be lost or stolen. Cannot be worn by anyone else while she lives.
NoDrop – This item does not drop when the wearer is killed.
Unmarred – This item cleans and repairs itself over time by using ambient mana. Cannot be destroyed.
The moment I touched the robe, a blue box appeared in the air in front of me with a chiming sound. I felt my jaw drop. This… this was something out of a game! Not real life! Hell, I was only a casual gamer, since everyone needed a hobby, but even I knew that there were no VR games that were anywhere near like this. I definitely didn’t have the kind of rig that those would play on, either, even if they did.
Wait, there were stupid stories about shit like this, right? Where people died in real life, and then woke up in some world that worked like a game? Was I in some fucking, two-bit novel for nerds and weirdos? GODDAMNIT!
No, relax. I couldn’t think about that right now. I needed to figure out what was going on, so I knew just how much trouble I was in. If this was some kind of game world, then would I be able to access a menu, or stat screen?
“Status.” Nothing. “Menu.” Nope. “Character.” Uh-uh. Nothing worked. Hell, I hadn’t even found a way to close that stupid blue screen from the robe! I tried waving at it, and… it went away? Like swiping something on a touch screen? Huh, I could work with that. I tried swiping again with my hand, and another screen appeared.

I was decidedly too sober for this shit, but fuck it. I wasn’t going to get out of this any quicker by ignoring reality. Might as well try and make the best of it. Hesitantly, I touched the Settings part of the screen.

The dinging was getting annoying, so I quickly went to the Audio settings, and turned off all the sounds except for Level Ups. If this was a game, I would like to know when I leveled up, at least. That settled, I looked in on the other Setting menus.
Commands was straightforward, for the most part, but I decided not to mess with them too much, beyond turning on voice commands. That could be something I did once I was more comfortable with this system. Next, I looked at the visual settings. Kept a bunch of that the same, but moved the boxes so that they didn’t pop up directly in the middle of my view, unless I called for them. If this was a game, that meant there’d be fighting, and no way was I going to get myself killed because a popup blinded me.

That was… a lot. Like, a lot, a lot. So, Mhyrsha was my name, and I was a succubus? A literal sex demon, then. Probably why my profession was a fancy word for whore. Wonderful, guess I was going to slut my way to the top. But why did that sound familiar? Ugh, I’d figure it out eventually. What did these titles do?
The First Boss
The first obstacle in the Hero’s journey. All stats increased by 300% while in boss room.

What in the ever-loving fuck? This wasn’t just some normal game. That looked like a setup straight out of some kind of porn game. Wait. First boss? You mean, the schmuck that gets steamrolled by the hero immediately, and is then forgotten about? Oh, hell no. We weren’t going to be playing that game.
Something fell into place. Wait, I’d played this game before. One didn’t really think of gamers when one thought about 1% bike clubs, but people were people, and all kinds liked to ride, and liked the lifestyle. Crash was a gamer. Not one of the hardcore types, but whenever he was home he’d spend a couple hours a day on the computer, playing games. Also knew his way around computers in a more criminal way, as well, which came in handy.
That wasn’t important to my current situation, though, beyond the fact that I remember him talking about this new game he was playing. Heartlight Chronicles, I think it was. Anyways, it was decidedly not for kids, because one of the opening quests required the hero to get laid, so that they could resist the spells and snares of the evil Succubus Mhyrsha, and rescue the poor souls she’d captured for whatever reason. And there was something about a power source, that led into the rest of the game? I hadn’t really been paying attention, unfortunately.
Still, that was better than where I was before. I knew what was happening now, and I had a plan. Step 1: Loot this place of anything that looks valuable or important. Step 2: Get the fuck out of here. Step 3: Don’t die. Step 4: Profit?
It was a start, at least.
