KingVessel: With new ideas come new fanfics. To be honest, I'm just doing this one on a whim so I really don't have an endgame for it. Also, this is a Plot with Porn fic.
Majestia Royal.
One of the grandest of the MMO-RPGs. A world of epic, sprawling fantasy vistas. Swords and sorcery, mystics and myths, dragons and dungeons and all that had come with it.
Subaru Natsuki loved it, especially where this was here he had met his friends.
Back at his home, he'd never been seen as his own person. Don't get him wrong, Subaru loved his parents just as ferociously as they loved him back.
It was just... hard to make friends who looked at him and didn't just see him as Kenichi Natsuki's son.
It had been of little surprise when he finally resorted to online relationships in a game. And from that little surprise had come a great blessing.
Naturally, he had played solo, under the expensive {Angel} race with the name, Flugel.
Surprisingly, he'd been recruited within a week of playing the game by some rookies as well, who called themselves the Witches of Sin.
Other than Satella who had played as a Half-Elf, they had all played as Humans, each denoting themselves to emote a particular deadly sin. Satella, the Witch of Envy; Echidna, the Witch of Greed; Daphne, the Witch of Gluttony; Typhon, the Witch of Pride; Sekhmet, the Witch of Sloth and Minerva, the Witch of Wrath.
When Subaru had asked who was filling the Lust position, Echidna started the first of her many teasing answers. "Why do you think we approached a guy? No sane girl is going to willingly take that role."
"So I'm just your stand-in?!"
He still accepted the offer and had never regretted it. Together with them, they had risen to become one of Majestia Royal's most famous Guilds, Pleiades.
(Subaru had expected the protests that came from his desire to change the name from Mages of Vices, thanks to countless teasing from both Echidna and fellow male players over his title as the Warlock of Lust.
However, he had not expected Echidna making him the new Guildmaster, although given how the game had started to introduce new updates and lore, she probably hadn't wanted the responsibility from holding her back from investigating at her own leisure.)
Still... all good things come to an end.
As the visor slid over Subaru's eyes, light flared. It slowly resolved into simple shapes: lines, squares, circles, gradually gaining depth and solidity as the helmet's feedback circuits monitored the flow-patterns of my brain activity, adjusting the inducers to fit his individual characteristics.
The simple bell tone that began faintly in his ears split into chiming melodies, that gradually swelled into shimmering cords, into a Gothic chorus. Like walking into a movie, the world faded into the slow cross-dissolve of a scene already in progress.
[Welcome back, FLUGEL]
A flickering prompt informed Subaru. For a moment, a bewildering confusion of pop-up windows and messages and submenus hovered in his field of vision, reminding him that he was Lvl 100, that his HP and MP were full, that he was the Guildmaster of Pleaides, a million things begging for his attention all at once, as he waved a hand to banish them-
"-Ah."
Above, a full moon; titanic, mystical and abnormal.
Below, the conquered dungeon which was now HQ of the Guild, Dragon Fortress of Lugnica.
'Right... The last time I logged out was in the sky before Dad pulled off my visor by force.' Subaru groaned before landing. As soon as he did so, he teleported straight to the Round Table room.
"You're late, Flugel!" Typhon yelled, her avatar and demeanor reflecting her IRL age as she pouted and waved her fist at him.
"Sorry..." Subaru looked around. "Only you and Echidna made it?"
"What's wrong?" The butterfly themed Guardian asked, a smirk icon appearing over her avatar. "Did you want to see Satella as well?"
"I hoped everyone could've made it..." Subaru sighed as he took his seat. "It's the last day, after all."
Lately, a couple of newer games had started to pop up, causing Majestia Royal's player numbers to start dropping until only a handful of faithful players stayed behind. In the end, the game developers had given up and announced the end of it all, setting a date for it's shutdown.
"Everyone did want to come." Echidna shrugged as Typhon yawned. They all knew her to have been busy studying for her exams at this period. "It was just bad timing that everybody else had appointments they had to deal with. Typhon here isn't even supposed to be awake by this time."
"I'm so tired... I hope to see you guys again later in real..." Typhon didn't say anymore as she nodded off, causing her avatar to automatically log out.
"And then, there were two." Echidna spoke before moving about, prompting Flugel to move as Subaru followed her as they approached their treasure. "The Dragon Mantle of Volcanica... Do you remember how recklessly we played to get this? Some player from a different guild mentioned to Typhon how his guild had made a special guild weapon, prompting Typhon into whining about making our own, too."
"Yeah..." After everyone had applied various additions, projects and gimmicks (which took years of financial pain and physical IRL work by the way), the Mantle had been completed.
Theoretically, other than granting the owner complete control over the rights, privileges, and accessibility to the various parts and functions within Lugnica and it's NPC inhabitants, it also allowed them to don the appearance and abilities of the Dragon God whom they had killed and used it's corpse and loot for the Mantle.
It had the appearance of an all encompassing mantle except that it was covered in Volcanica's black scales with blue runes. It's hood in particular was designed to resemble the Dragon God's head.
Echidna grabbed the mantle of it's stand and threw it over Flugel's shoulders, causing holy blue flames to waft off him for a bit. "There. As our leader, you should definitely wear that until the end."
"I guess so." Subaru chuckled. "I guess I'll indulge myself just this once."
It was clear nobody else beyond Echidna would know he might act a little selfishly today, so it should be ok, right?
Flugel summoned an enchanted mirror from his inventory to admire himself for a moment. In Subaru's opinion, he looked every bit the, awesome, regal badass that he imagined his character to be.
His gaze swept across his divine-level equipment, the contrast of the black and blue of the Mantle over his gold-trimmed robes to the bleached-white chest of his pants and boots.
"Well, aren't you dashing?" Echidna teased before drawing Flugel into a hug. "I'll miss you. Things won't be the same without my most favorite pawn."
"Don't be so mean." Subaru replied as Flugel hugged back. "Bye, Greed."
"Bye, Lust."
And with that, she logged off, leaving behind the last guildmate of Pleiades.
At the moment, Subaru was tired and had to work tomorrow, but he knew that he would no-longer be able to experience Majestia Royal again like this. After today, it would be gone, so he forced himself to stay awake.
'Maybe a bit of a walk might help me stay awake.' Subaru thought to himself as he exited the room with the round table. As he entered the hallway that led between the 9th and 10th floors he saw several of Lugnica's NPCs waiting on the side of the hallway.
Specifically the three Knights of Lugnica. Reinhard the Sword Saint, Julius the Spirit User and Felix the Water Elementalist.
"Right, you guys are still here." Subaru mumbled. These were a few of the many NPCs the guild had created, each having various abilities given to them by both creator and friend. There probably wasn't a single modified NPC in Lugnica that hadn't had at least two or more guildmates adding to their inventories beyond just their creator. "Follow me, you three."
All three of them nodded and stood upright, forming a line behind Flugel as he continued on his way to the throne room.
Once he reached and entered, Flugel took the moment to admire what had used to be the Final Boss room.
Despite the golden walls, the blood red carpets and banners and the jeweled chandeliers, every single bit of them had hidden functions. The golden walls were created by Echidna and were able to be freely manipulated by both her and the current Guildmaster, being able to produce solid constructs out of them. The carpets and banners had strong healing properties, being able to rejuvenate only Pleiades Guildmates just by standing on it. The bejeweled chandeliers had been designed with Evangelion's Ramiel in mind, giving them the abilities to fire devastating blasts of energy at intruders.
Frankly, Subaru considered it a bit sad that nobody had actually reached this area whenever Lugnica got raided by enemy parties.
As he left the Knights to stand by and approached the throne, which Echidna still claimed despite no longer being the Guildmaster, Flugel took the time to appraise his own NPC standing there.
Shaula the Scorpion Sage. A NPC created with a little help from Daphne. As the third strongest NPC of Lugnica, Shaula was the head of what he called the Asmodeus Brigade.
There were a total of seven brigades in the guild consisting of NPCs placed under the direct leadership of their creators, each group named after the devils representing the Seven Deadly Sins.
Sitting down on the throne, he used the Dragon Mantle to access her stats and review everything one last time. 'I really wish I could've seen more of her at work...'
A chime echoed in his ears, unbidden. A brief crescendo of music, and then the wanderings of a mournful flute. A great, sad music, coming from everywhere and nowhere at once.
"Dear Adventurers of Majestia Royal."
Flugel started into alertness at the announcement from the GM.
"We regret to remind you that Majestia Royal will be ceasing all operations at 23:59:59. Unfortunately, after that time, the game will no longer be available for download or play."
Flugel clenched his fist.
"We are incredibly thankful for the support you have given Majestia Royal. Without you, none of this would have existed. Thank you all, and may we meet again someday beyond the Aether."
After that, the timer shimmered into existence.
23:55:42
Less than five minutes, now.
Leaning back into the throne, Flugel sighed heavily. "I wonder if anyone else is waiting down the countdown."
23:58:30
"This was fun while it lasted...Goodbye, all of you." And so Flugel the Warlock of Lust sat there on his throne and waited for the End.
23:59:12
23:59:27
23:59:43
Subaru felt like he should say something. Something significant, to mark the passing of a world.
23:59:50
Instead, all that came out was - "Game over..."
23:59:56
23:59:59
And everything went dark.
𝟘𝟘:𝟘𝟘:𝟘𝟘
00:00:01
00:00:02
00:00:03
It began with a sound, a wordless murmur breathing through the infinite blackness. A pale light, welling forth from the nothing-colored darkness.
A faint, atonal moaning-
A sense of falling, falling, a lurching descent-
A roar in his ears, like the sea coming in. Light spilled around him, golden as the sun.
Sensation returned.
It began with an absence. A realization, that the aches and pains deep in Subaru's muscles and bones, were gone. With that realization came strength, wholeness, as if his dumb limbs had cast off their weights. Like fading embers, fanned into a roaring blaze.
"Hm?" Subaru blinked in surprise, shocked to still be in the game. "Did they push back the shutdown?"
He brought his hand up to access the menu… or attempted to. 'I can't see my status either… What is wrong with my UI? Is this a glitch? I can't even see my basic character information!'
"What the …?!" Subaru slowly started to feel rising panic as he nearly leapt out of the Throne when he noticed another detail. His voice. The sound quality was too high, like he'd naturally spoken out and heard his voice without an electronic speaker-
"Is something the matter, Master Flugel?" a silky voice originating near him asked.
Subaru stilled. No way. He was hallucinating. There's no way anyone other than him should be capable-
"Are you alright, Master Flugel?" Shaula came close into his personal space, allowing Subaru to easily notice the red dots in her green eyes.
'She's talking. She's actually talking.' Subaru gaped at the NPC's soft lips as they moved with each word. Still, there was some suspicion... "Do you know what the GM is doing right now?"
"Sorry, Master Flugel." Shaula pulled back and bowed regretfully. "I don't know who this 'GM' is. Please... please let me do whatever it takes to rectify this mistake, Master!"
Flugel recoiled from the genuine emotion he could feel from Shaula. This... felt way too earnest to be some prank. Still... 'I need to test if it's just Shaula and me.' "Julius."
"Yes, milord." The purple haired Knight replied at once, nearly startling Subaru.
'He's not my NPC... Is it okay to give him orders...? Urgh, this isn't the time to be a wimp, me!' Subaru shook his head. "Julius. Step out of the Fortress and confirm the surroundings around Lugnica."
"As you wish, Lord Flugel." Julius replied, encouraging Flugel to address the others as well.
"Reinhard. Go to Costuul District and check for intruders. Ferris. Head for Priestella and do an inventory of what we have in stock."
To Subaru's relief and shock, they obeyed as well, following Julius on his way out.
'So, they can follow commands not explicitly stated in Majestia Royal. There's no video game A.I. that could understand such a complex multi-variable instruction as the one I just gave him. I'm - no, we're not in Majestia Royal any more. Is this another game?' Subaru wasn't sure if this realization gave him a small measure of comfort or worried him more.
"So, Master Flugel." Subaru flinched, being reminded of Shaula's presence. "What should I do?"
"...yeah. Come closer."
"Yeah, of course!" Shaula replied happily as she came close to him again, causing Subaru to lean back into the throne.
'Wow, she smells nice...Wait a minute.' Subaru's eyes widened in shock. 'I can smell her?! Sight and sounds are one thing, but scents too?! Wait...'
Subaru grabbed Shaula's wrist and placed his other hand's index against it. 'There's a pulse. And I can actually feel the heat of her flesh against mine! Is there anything else I can check...'
Subaru's thoughts trailed off as he noticed Shaula's blush from their close proximity, along with her large heaving chest, clad in nothing but a black bikini which strained with each breath she took.
'Th-This is the last test! I... I must really test this bit!' Instinctively looking around to check that none of his female guildmates were nearby, Subaru gave his order. "Sh-Shaula. Seat on my lap."
"As you wish, Master!" Shaula instantly did as he asked, causing Subaru to gasp from the sensation of her doughy, round butt pressed against his crotch, feeling how the squishy, soft flesh wrapped against his oppressed cock (that was there, too?!) despite the clothes between them. Guided by hormonal instinct, Subaru reached around and grabbed her breasts, feeling how warm they felt as they pushed against his palms.
'This is clearly a 18+ action, but I haven't received any notification banning me like Majestia Royal would send. This might actually completely real... meaning that Shaula's real... and I'm fondling real breasts right now...!' Subaru thought, finally paying more attention to the woman writhing against him. 'So amazing...! It's more than I ever imagined... The weight pressing back against my hands. They feel so soft even through the clothing yet they also have such great resilience pressing back at me. I'm so glad Minerva made us study actual models to allow us to be accurate with what we wanted... Then again, she probably didn't know that this would happen...'
"Wait a minute!" Subaru suddenly got to his feet, accidentally knocking off Shaula. "Sorry about that Shaula, but I'll need to summon all of the NP-"
Subaru cut himself off. Nobody counted as just an NPC anymore, if Shaula was anything to go by. "Summon all of Lugnica's Retainers, aside from the Knights."
"U-Understood, Master." Shaula made to leave before suddenly stopping to shyly ask something. "Um, will we... continue later?"
Subaru blinked at that before nodding, which caused Shaula to gasp happily and leave right away, allowing Subaru to fall back into his throne.
"That was..." Subaru stalled, unable to think of proper words to describe that moment. Even if he had enjoyed fondling his first ever pair of breasts, for that brief moment, he had thought of nothing else but indulging his rising libido with the extremely compliant Shaula.
"Is it because of my new body?" Subaru turned as his wings suddenly fanned out. Six feathered pairs of golden wings with violet edges glistened majestically under the chandelier light as he observed them. Every time Subaru had passed a leveling threshold, they had always increased in number, along with his physical stats jumping up correspondingly. If his body was the cause, what about the titles he had gained? Was his title 'Warlock of Lust' responsible for this, amplifying his normal hormone levels to near uncontrollable randiness?! What did that say for his other titles?!
The doors to the throne room opened again, allowing several people in. They were the various NPCs created by all members of the Pleiades Guild, unintentionally displaying their diverseness in how they easily mingled with each other despite belonging to separate factions.
'I don't know if I can get back to Mom and Dad.' Subaru thought as they all approached him. 'If this is truly another world, what brought me here? I mean, I kinda like Isekai fantasies, but I never expected them to actually involve a literal game world...'
As they all came close enough, Subaru subconsciously adopted a regal demeanor, his {Angelic Grace} seeping into the air and filling the room with his presence, thereby invoking awe and compelling them all into compliance.
"Now, everyone." Shaula announced. "To our Lord and Emperor, state the Oath of Allegiance."
"Emilia of the Leviathan Brigade." She was a beautiful Half-Elf with long silver hair and purple eyes with blue irises, dressed in a white and purple outfit along with a white flower in her hair. Falling to a curtsy, she stated her loyalty. "I bow before the Imperial Sage."
"Puck of the Mammon Brigade." He was a Cait Sith with icy green eyes and a golden hoop earring in his left ear, normally several meters large but shrunken to a floating, nine centimeters form. Bowing forward, he stated his loyalty. "I bow before the Imperial Sage."
"Beatrice of the Mammon Brigade." She looked like a little girl but was actually a Homunculus with large sky-blue eyes had pink butterfly patterns as irises (which were an obvious trait to know that her Creator was Echidna) and pale cream blonde hair with pink tips was worn long and tied into frilly vertical drill-shaped twin tails that acted like springs when pulled on, dressed in a pink frilly ornate dress with white trimmings and an exposed front that left her legs visible, and were completely covered by pink and purple vertically-striped tights pink shoes with butterfly straps on her feet. Bowing forward, she stated her loyalty. "I bow to the Imperial Sage, I suppose."
"Ram of the Asmodeus Brigade."
"Rem of the Asmodeus Brigade."
Ram and Rem were Oni twins, sharing similar features with some differences with Ram possessing short pink hair and red eyes while Rem possessed short blue hair and blue eyes, both dressed in stylish maid uniforms. Subaru had explicitly created them to fulfill his dream of maid twins at his service.
Each falling to a knee, they stated their loyalties.
"Nee-sama bows to the Imperial Sage."
"Rem bows to the Imperial Sage."
"Otto of the Mammon Brigade." He was a Human possessing ashen gray hair, sharp blue eyes and the expression of one who had accepted himself to be a misfortunate person. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Garfiel of the Satan Brigade." He was a Tiger Beastman with blond hair and sharp teeth in his human mode. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Frederica of the Satan Brigade." She was a Panther Beastwoman with long pale blonde hair and green eyes. Like Garfiel, she possessed sharp teeth even in her human form. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Priscilla of the Lucifer Brigade." She was a buxom Angel bearing long orange hair in a low ponytail and blood red eyes. She was dressed in an opulent black and red aristocratic dress with wrapped off-the-shoulder sleeves, a wide-hemmed heel-length red skirt, a black petticoat, a large black ribbon with red striping attached to the right side of her waist, and a black flowery ornament with red edging and emerald jewels decorating each petal that was adorned on the opposite side of Priscilla's waist. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Crusch of the Lucifer Brigade." She was a Human with almond-shaped amber eyes and long dark verdant-green hair that reached down to her lower back. Even though she was a woman, she was handsomely dressed in a deep purplish blue longcoat trimmed in white with golden epaulettes on the shoulders. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Anastasia of the Mammon Brigade." She was a petite Human with blue green eyes and long, wavy purple hair that extended to her hips. She was dressed in a long white dress with a fur hat and scarf along with a large purse shaped like a wallet. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Felt of the Leviathan Brigade." She was a spunky Human with red eyes and medium length golden hair in a black bow. She was dressed in a black top which exposed her midriff, a blue scarf, a leather brown jacket, boots of the same material, black leggings, a black belt, and brown leather pants, which she wears on top of the leggings. "I bow to the Imperial Sage."
"Shaula of the Asmodeus Brigade." She was a tall Scorpion Beastwoman with her model-like human form possessing green eyes with three additional red dots around her pupils and long blackish brown hair which she wore tied together in what looked like a scorpion tail. She only wore a black bikini-bra, a bow-tie, a necklace, black hotpants accompanied with an orange belt, and a black-and-orange cloak, which were of the same color pallet as Subaru's tracksuit outfit back home. "I bow to Master."
"With the exception of the three Knights, all Retainers of the Dragon Fortress of Lugnica are at your command." Shaula spoke for them all. "Please bestow your orders upon us, Warlock of Lust, Lord Flugel."
Subaru couldn't help himself. "...how can you guys say that without the tiniest bit of embarrassment or mocking?!"
Such a question only gained various amounts of confusion on their faces.
