"Damn this game…" I can't help but curse under my breath as I look outside the window of the room I am in.

Everything is in ruins. The buildings all look on the verge of collapsing, and there are many puddles of blood and even some bodies in the street. I thought this might be a dream at first, but that thought quickly disappeared. Evident by the red mark on my face.

Damn it.

Damn that game.

It all started because of that game. I found it on a website that sells video games, erotic ones, to be exact.

Hey, don't blame me, some of those are a hidden gem.

My name is Ryu.

So, I found a game, it was about a massive apocalypse that struck the city, filling it with monster girls to the brim. And what do these monster girls want? To suck you up dry, of course! What else do you expect from an erotic game filled with monster girls? Apparently, it keeps them alive.

Now, usually in these games, you get sucked up, get a quick session with your pickle, and that's it. But, this game was different. In it, you can choose what to do with the monster after you defeated it. Either you can spare it, or kill it. It was such an interesting concept for me. I decided to go with a neutral route, where I sometimes spare sometimes kill, if you spare you don't get the xp, so it was a bit hard, so I did some killing here and there.

I thought to myself 'I can always replay the game after finishing It', but before I got to the ending, the save file somehow got corrupted. I lamented for quite a while, obviously. I had spent hours on this game, believe it or not.

As such, I did what I did best, and reported my issue to an online forum. I asked them about the game, and the point in the game where my save file got corrupted.

What I forgot, however, was the fact that absolutely no one knew about the game. That is to be expected, the game was new, after all. Hell, I only managed to find it by chance, and it was said there were no downloads for it yet. Though, it being approved by the website means it was safe, probably.

Although they didn't know what have caused the issue, they were intrigued by what I said.

As such, I went to the game's store page and tried to post the link. Only... the game wasn't there. I kept searching for it, and even went to my history, and yet, it wasn't there.

To say I was confused would be an understatement. What the hell happened to it? Perhaps the creator or the website just removed it, but even still, it should still be in my browser history, yet I can't find it.

Regardless, I chalked it up to a weird glitch, as my coping mechanism. I decided to play the game again, and save multiple times this time, but I decided to try a full-on full mercy run. Keep it between us, or call me a wimp, but I felt a tang of sadness when I killed those monsters. It felt odd, the voice they made, I mean. When they died, I could literally hear the voice in my head despite it being on speaker and on a low volume. That's why I decided to do a mercy run. But when I tried to boot up the game, the screen suddenly shone bright, almost blinding me. And now, here I am. Stranded in this god-forsaken place, filled with monsters that can suck me up, both my treasure and my literal soul.

Damn it all! It was already suspicious when I couldn't find it in my browser history, and the fact that it was absolutely new, and that... the voices sounded real... Huh, the more I think about it, the more I realize how suspicious all of it was. I don't believe in the supernatural, but after this?

I absolutely believe in it. I doubt this is just a work of some super genius that decided for whatever reason to make an erotic game to suck people in it for an experiment.

I ran a hand through my hair, and checked my surroundings once again. I wasn't in a normal building. This room was a lab, filled to the brim with computers and shelves.

At least I'm still me. The game didn't really have a main character, just some player character with a name you input, and its body was transparent so you could imagine its features.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

Moreover...

I'm at the exact same location as the player character. Or, well, almost exactly the same. There were some minor differences, like the blood, or the fact that this room seems much larger than in-game.

I kept checking, till I finally found what I wanted. A large computer, with a red sign over its monitor. This was it.

In the game, there was a soldier that helps you to evacuate from this computer. He'll give you instructions, the area layout, the monster's weaknesses, etc...

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get sucked by those things, but I don't want to lose my soul.

I practically run to the computer, and try to turn it on. Only...

"What the hell are all these buttons?"

There were many buttons. Not a keyboard, but buttons. The game didn't have anything like that, since it was a 2d RPG game.

I gulped, and pressed the huge red button on the computer.

It worked!

Yes, Adam! Save me like you saved my character!

...

Uh...

"...Hello?"

No response.

"Um, excuse me? I'm looking for help!"

Nothing once again.

Hey, hey, don't tell me the dude is dead or something?

"Adam!"

...Nothing.

Shit.

I stayed calm all this time because of this guy! Now you're telling me he might be dead?!

Ah, I'm getting nervous. My hands are slightly shaking.

I keep calling out to him to no avail. Seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do now?

After a few moments, I lost hope. I looked around the room, there's supposed to be a gun here, but the layout is slightly different from the game, so I don't exactly know where. Hell, there might not even be a gun here.

Suddenly, a small noise came from the computer. I immediately turned towards it with a face full of hope, but it was quickly crushed after what I heard.

"Oh?" A voice came from the computer, a feminine voice... "A human?", she said with a hint of mockery in her voice. The screen was static, till it eventually turned clear.

I felt my heart sink as I saw the screen. In it, there were two people, not human, no, but monster girls. But unlike the game, where the girls were mostly humans with a few animal-like features, it was the total opposite here. They had human faces, for sure, but their skin was light-green. There were many vines coming out of their backs, and the lower half of their body was covered in a flower. Hell, even their hair was a flower. They were plant monsters, and unlike the game, they were literally plant.

Both of them looked at the screen with curiosity before one of them giggled. "Oh my, you're alone, aren't you?" One of them said, looking over my surroundings. After checking it, she let out another giggle.

"How unlucky for you. Were you perhaps hoping someone would help you? Unfortunately..." She trailed off as one of the vines went off-screen to grab... a person.

I thought it was Adam, but no, they didn't look alike at all.

"All of them are taken, now~" I can feel my legs slightly tremble, "But don't worry, I promise it won't hurt at all. You'll get a beautiful wife and become a happy couple, like us~" She giggled once more before kissing the soldier. He barely had any strength in him, so he couldn't do anything.

"Now..." After stopping their kiss, she glanced at the other monster.

That look didn't bode well. I felt all the hair on my body stand up.

Danger.

Something dangerous was about to happen.

The other monster began take a deep breath, and I finally understood what their intention was. I instantly ran towards the computer, almost slipping on a puddle of blood on the way there.

"AHHH-!" I pressed the red button as hard as I could, cutting off the monster's scream just in time. Hopefully, nothing out there heard it.

Damn it, damn it all!

What the hell is this shit?!

I put all my hope on Adam, and my knowledge of the game, but all of that is useless now!

I gently massaged my temple as I used the computer as I slowly fell to the floor, my back against the computer.

I had to focus. I can't die here.

Getting nervous here means the end. But holy shit is it hard to stay focused.

Those monster girls... they are different from the game, and... well, still hot. Horrifyingly so.

Turning my attention towards the door, I let out a sigh. In the game, the monsters roaming outside this door should be dog-like monsters. But I'm afraid I'll get an actual dog monster instead of a human with dog features.

The only thing I can hope for right now is that this room is safe, and that I will hopefully find a gun-

Creak-

...?

I turned to the door once more, my heart beating faster than ever before. At this rate, I'll probably die of a heart attack way before I get violated.

Slowly, a face crept in. It was a human face. But... why is it so low? And... why is it sniffing the place?

Ah wait.

Shit.

The door busted open, as a dog-like creature appeared. It looked at me with it's extremely long tongue out. Unlike us, their mouth can open way more than humanly possible, tearing its face.

"Woof!"

It had a human face, 8 breasts, and... a wolf-like body. Paws, too. It's dark hair was a mess, but it still didn't hinder the beauty of her face, if anything, it made her look hotter. And of course, it was standing on four legs.

Despite her weird appearance, I'm somehow captivated by her. It's black fur looked fluffy, and her breasts... focus, god damn it! That thing can kill you!

I can tell from a simple glance that if she stood on her hind legs, she'd be much taller than me, probably a head and a half.

And I could also tell, it was looking at something.

My groin!
