Chapter 5: An Empire
The phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. It skittered across the floor like a trapped insect, screen flashing with a relentless stream of notifications. Marcus pried one eye open, the world a blur of hungover light and tangled limbs. He was buried under a warm, breathing mattress of elf. Sylvaria’s hair was in his mouth. A twin’s foot was wedged against his ribs.
He groaned, dislodging himself, and reached for the device. The screen burned his retinas.

The numbers didn’t make sense. He blinked, crust in his eyes. He’d uploaded the Sylvaria test clip—just ninety seconds of oily, drooling degradation—around 2 AM. It was now… he squinted… 11:17 AM.
“The fuck,” he whispered, a laugh catching in his dry throat. He’d never seen so many zeros attached to his name that weren’t preceded by a negative sign.
The movement stirred the heap. Lianara lifted her head, her emerald eyes still fogged with sleep and last night’s indulgence. “What is that noise? Is it a battlefield summons?”
“Better,” Marcus croaked, holding up the phone. “It’s money. A shitload of it.”
The word ‘money’ acted like a spell. Sylvaria shifted, her mammoth breasts rolling as she sat up, suddenly alert. “The tribute flows?”
“It’s flowing, Syl. It’s a goddamn river.” He scrolled through the comments, reading them aloud in a dazed monotone. “‘I’d sell my soul to suck those tits.’ ‘How much for a custom?’ ‘Bro, the detail on the ear tips is insane, what’s your VFX pipeline?’”
Lianara clambered over her mother, her own heavy softness pressing into Marcus’s arm as she looked at the screen. “They speak of me? When do I get tribute?”
The hunger in her voice wasn’t just for gold. It was for the attention, the filthy validation. Marcus felt a familiar, dirty thrill crackle up his spine. The power here wasn’t just sexual; it was economic. He was the sole producer, the director, the owner of the only export these people wanted.
“Today,” he said, his mind already clicking into a mercenary gear. “We film you today. But we gotta up the production value.”
“Production value?” Lianara parroted, loving the new words.
“Make it a thing. A story.” He looked at her, at her haughty, perfect face. “You’re a princess, right? So we’re doing an inspection. A degradation inspection.”
He rustled through a junk drawer, past dead batteries and loose change, and found a cheap, purple plastic wand—a forgotten gift from some long-ago party. It hummed pathetically when he clicked the button. Perfect.
He cleared the couch, shoving the cans and the damp towel onto the floor. He had Lianara kneel in the center, back straight, pretending the stained cushions were her throne. He set up his phone on a stack of old game cases.
“Alright, princess,” he said, his voice dropping into that casual, contemptuous tone that had worked so well. He started recording. “Let’s see if this imported elven stock is up to standard.”
He used the wand like a tool, a cold, impersonal probe. He traced it over her collarbone, between the staggering valley of her breasts, down the tense plane of her stomach. He talked over her, his commentary a steady stream of objectification. “Look at that tan. Probably sprayed on. Feel how soft this fake skin is, though. Incredible craftsmanship.”
Lianara played her part with a terrifying earnestness. She held her chin high, but her lips were parted, her breath coming faster. When he pressed the buzzing head of the wand against her clit, her regal façade cracked. A shudder wracked her entire body.
“Is the specimen responsive?” Marcus narrated, circling the toy.
“Y-yes,” she gasped.
“What are you?”
“I am… Princess Lianara of the Silver…” The words dissolved into a moan as he increased the pressure.
“You’re a greedy little elf-slut waiting for her king to come home,” Marcus corrected her, his voice flat. “Say it.”
Her eyes screwed shut. “I’m a greedy little elf-slut! I wait for my king! I wait for his… his everything!”
He worked her with the wand, relentlessly, his other hand pinching and pulling at her nipples. She unraveled quickly, spectacularly. Her thighs trembled. A high, whining sound built in her throat. Then, with a guttural cry that was nothing like her usual voice, she gushed.
It wasn’t a trickle. It was a torrent, a hot jet that splashed onto the cushion, then onto the floor. Marcus, acting on a grotesque impulse, grabbed the empty popcorn bowl from the coffee table and shoved it under her. The sound of liquid hitting plastic filled the room—a steady, shocking ping-ping-ping until the bowl was half-full.
He stopped the wand. The silence was profound, broken only by Lianara’s ragged sobs. She was slumped forward, dazed, dripping.
Marcus looked into the camera, a smirk playing on his lips. He picked up the bowl. “Quality control checks out. The reservoir is definitely full.”
Then, in the clip’s final moment, he brought the bowl to Lianara’s lips. “Clean it up. No wasting the product.”
Eyes glazed with utter submission, she obeyed, drinking deeply of herself until the bowl was empty. Marcus cut the recording.
The room erupted. Sylvaria was panting, her hand between her own legs. The twins were clutching each other. Lianara simply stared into space, a faint, blissed-out smile on her face.
“That was… efficient,” Sylvaria breathed, her regal vocabulary failing her. “This ‘OnlyFans’… it is a mighty engine of conquest.”
“Yeah, well, the engine needs fuel,” Marcus said, his mind already on the upload. But a new idea struck him. “You wanna see where this all comes from? The inspiration?”
He pulled his laptop over, its keys sticky, and navigated to a popular porn site. He pulled up a mainstream video, all high-gloss production, surgically enhanced women in neon lingerie talking directly to the camera in a slang-heavy babble.
The four elves crowded around, their expressions shifting from curiosity to rapt, almost religious focus. They watched, unblinking, as the women on screen gasped and begged, called their partner ‘daddy,’ spoke in short, choppy sentences laden with obscenities.
“Oh, wow,” one of the twins murmured.
“Her garments are so small,” the other observed, pointing.
“She called him a ‘beat-dropping king’,” Lianara whispered, testing the phrase. “What does that mean?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Marcus said, queueing up another. “Just watch.”
He left them there, a coven of ancient beings hunched over the glow of modern depravity, as he uploaded Lianara’s video. The process was faster now. The notifications started again before he’d even finished the description.
When he returned an hour later, the transformation was palpable. The air was thick with weed smoke—they’d found his emergency stash. The laptop screen was a kaleidoscope of flickering bodies.
“Marcus, bro, check this one out!” Lianara called, her voice loose and oddly inflected. She’d never called him ‘bro’ before. She pointed at the screen. “This chick is, like, totally obsessed with taking it in the ass. It’s, like, her thing.”
Sylvaria nodded along, taking a deep hit from the bong. “The linguistic patterns are reductive yet potent,” she said, then exhaled a plume of smoke. “I mean, fuck yeah, they are. They get straight to the point.”
Marcus stared. Their musical, formal cadence was crumbling, replaced by the staccato, performative slang of the videos they were bingeing.
“And these clothes, dude,” the other twin said, tugging at her own diaphanous elven gown. “This shit is boring. We need, like, that.” She pointed to a woman in fishnets and a harness. “And that.” A woman in a tartan miniskirt and nothing else. “How do we get that?”
Marcus looked at the Paypal balance on his phone. It was climbing by the minute. He felt a giddy, unhinged sense of possibility. The apartment wasn’t a prison anymore; it was a studio. These weren’t just refugees from a fantasy world; they were his starlets, his consumers, his addicted crew.
“We get it online,” he said, a new plan solidifying. “We’ll order it. Express shipping.” He scrolled through the comments on Lianara’s just-posted video. They were even more unhinged than Sylvaria’s. The money was coming faster.
Lianara crawled over to him, abandoning the porn, her eyes wide and shiny. “So, like, when’s my next scene? I was thinking maybe, like, a ‘delivery girl’ thing? Or maybe one where you, like, punish me for being a brat?” She nuzzled against his knee, her speech a bizarre hybrid of ancient innocence and freshly downloaded vulgarity. “I just wanna make the best content, you know? For the fans.”
Marcus ran his hand through her hair, watching the numbers tick upward on his screen. The fans. The money. The sluts he’d created.
“Yeah,” he said, his voice quiet with the strangeness of it all. “We’ll storyboard it after the shopping.”
