Chapter 1: Introduction
The erotic video game I've been playing is titled "Legacy of Labya," a delightful combination of adventure, adult scenes, and diabolically challenging puzzles in a fantasy world populated with succubi and monster-girls who crave the warm sperm and life energies of human men of the realm.
The game world is dark, mysterious, and tantalizing, filled with sexually charged encounters around every corner. Instead of combat, enemies seduce and subdue the hero through sexual acts, which makes encountering them extremely dangerous to the hero. For the player though, encountering and losing to the various sexy succubi and monster-girls, and ultimately seeing the various erotic scenes for each of the women. For this reason, most players lose to each enemy at least once, sometimes more than once, and then reload to continue the game.
This is the secret to the game's popularity, and its addictive nature.
It has been a long night, my eyes fixed on the screen as I struggle with the latest puzzle. The smell of yesterday's takeout pizza grows stronger, a groan from my empty stomach echoing in the dimly lit studio apartment. My character, with his tall and athletic form, short brown hair, and green eyes, stands before an ancient looking portal on the top floor of an abandoned tower in a cursed forest surrounded by a purple mist.
As is often the case in erotic video games, the portal in this game glows with an otherworldly light and looks incredibly dangerous to touch, as if it might suck the life out of anyone who dares to touch its surface. In truth, I believe the real danger with this portal lies beyond its surface, waiting for the unwary hero to cross the threshold.
The air around the portal crackles with energy and I can feel the portal's pull on my character.
Despite the potential dangers, I click the mouse button to initiate entry into the portal and watch as my character steps through the shimmering vortex of light, his purple silhouette disappearing from the screen. At the same time, the eerie glow had begun to spread from the center of the monitor to the edges and beyond, spreading into the plastic casing and eventually, the surrounding air.
Before long, the doorway that formerly was onscreen had grown to engulf my desk, and was now standing before me.
A mystical energy radiated from it, the same energy that had drawn in my virtual character. My hand hovered over the portal, the sound of my stomach rumbling drowned out by the thrumming of energy and power from the portal.
I looked into the portal's void, its deep blackness drawing me in. I hesitated, unsure what would happen should I touch the threshold, but feeling my fingers almost magnetically drawn to it nonetheless.
Would I become a part of the game, losing myself in the erotic world of succubi and monster-girls, and join my character in his sexual conquest? Was that even possible, for the portal to take me and transplant me there?
I looked back at the door that led outside, wondering if I should listen to that voice in my head urging me to keep my distance. Maybe, I thought, the smart thing was to wait until morning and reconsider this situation with a fresh mind, but just the thought of adventure and excitement in a world of sexual fantasy was too much for my horny, nerdy brain to resist. With a deep breath, I extended my finger until it just barely touched the surface of the doorway. Feeling nothing strange, I stepped forward a little until my arm, and eventually my shoulder were through the portal.
Stretching my head and neck around, I couldn't see my arm sticking out the back side of the glowing energy. It's like a portal in movies or video games, a flat barrier between our world and another beyond.
I stand just beyond the border, straddling the two realms, gathering my courage to step through. When would I ever have an opportunity like this again? Never, of course. And with that, I made the fateful decision to slip through the portal and into the land of Labya.
