Now THERE's a twist!

“That’s right! Master, you will be competing against the Contestants as a Villain!”

“But why? Why would I even do that? I don’t want to make there lives harder! If anything, I WANT them to win, since that would mean they are getting VP and they have to do less with me!”

“Ah, normally you aren’t wrong! But there’s a bit more to the Villain role than you might expect.”

Serena turned away from Nate’s shocked face and back towards the audience.

“As some of our more dedicated viewers might have noticed, there was no mention of wishes for the Contestants for our season. Normally, Contestants would compete not only to pass 100 VP and secure their place in the harem, but also to be the highest scorer by the end, as first place would be granted a wish. This season, however, between bringing the Contestants back from **** (or near-****, in one case) and the fact that they will be gaining superpowers, it was decided that such a setup would be detrimental enough to teamwork that the wish was removed as an incentive. Teamwork makes the dream work, as they always say!

“No, instead, it is our Villains that will be getting wishes, in the form of tailored wishes contingent on victories. It’s fairly simple, at the start of each buffer period, all Villains will be informed of both the nature of their next challenge, as well as the wish they will be granted on success. Each challenge will have a new challenge, so don’t expect to be able to skip a challenge and receive the same reward later!”

Nate took this all in. “So you’re going to be making me sabotage my friends and family? You better have some damn good ‘wishes’ if you expect me to go along with this.”

“Oh, believe me, we do, we do! In fact, as an example, how about I reveal your first possible wish, should you win the first challenge?” Serena swept her hand up towards the floating screen, which change its display.

Master’s Veto – Master will gain the ability to veto a single transformation each round. This will result in the Host picking one of the other options to give to the Contestant instead of the voted-upon option.

Nate’s mind raced as he considered the wish. It was a flawed wish, sure, but considering the possible transformations he’d seen for the first round… Honestly, he thought that everyone had gotten off pretty lightly this first round – Mom and Sam had been the only ones apparently displeased by their transformations. When he considered how Sarah would have been affected by the So Wrong, But So Right transformation or Vivian would have been under the Give It A Try Babe transformation, the agony that would cause both of them…

“Ooh, look at the gears turning,” Serena crooned, “we picked a smart Master this time, audience! Master, if I may interject into your thoughts, it would be wise to keep in mind that the transformations this first round will likely be considered ‘tame’ by the end of the show.”

Nate sighed, glaring at Serena. “Fine. You’ve made your point, I’ll consider being your villain. But how is this even going to work? My ‘harem’” he air quoted with his fingers “will have a hard time falling for me if they see me fighting to keep them from winning the challenges.”

“Well you’re not wrong, Master, but we’ve already got something in place for that! Would you please rise and say the phrase, ‘Betrayal is the sweetest’, Master?”

Nate raised an eyebrow, but followed the instructions, standing up from the throne before saying aloud with distaste, “Betrayal is the sweetest.”

Instantly something changed. Outwardly, the world appeared the same, but he knew that something had happened to him. It was like he had been standing on one leg, then switched over to the other. Nate looked down, and was greeted by breasts.

‘What the fuck?’ Nate tried to say.

What came out instead, in a pleasingly deep, feminine lilt, was, “Bloody fucking hell!”

*SNAP*

Serena snapped the freestanding mirror back into existence to Nate’s side, and he turned to take a look.

Standing in the mirror before him was a gorgeous woman in a black bodysuit. She was roughly his height, with long scarlet locks that fell down across her back. Her face was sharp and elfish, accentuated by her long and sharp ears, and her glaring blue eyes. Her eyebrows were scarlet as well, matching her hair.

She had modest curves on a visibly muscular body, which was shown off by how tightly the bodysuit clung to her skin.

Oh, and she had a noticeable bulge between her legs.

Nate took this all in, and was interrupted in thought by the sensation of Serena sliding over and wrapping an arm around him, which was mirrored by her reflection putting an arm around the scarlet-haired woman as well. A duality that **** him to accept reality – he’d been transformed into the woman(?) in front of him.

Serena giggled to the side, “See, Master, we have you covered! You’re looking at the single transformation we gave you to help you in your role this season, Secret Identity!” Serena motioned back to the screen, drawing Nate’s attention to it.

Secret Identity – The Master gains a feminine form in order to protect his identity. He may transition between his normal self and his feminine alter-ego with passphrases decided by the Host. When returning to his normal self from his alter-ego, the Master will be teleported back to where he began the transformation in a flash of blinding light. This teleportation also occurs if the Master is knocked **** or takes lethal damage. All wounds and physical damage dealt to the alter-ego remains with the alter-ego’s body, and the Master’s original is unaffected. The alter-ego heals back to full health over the course of 24 hours. The alter-ego is additionally loaded with a personality alteration module, resulting in a distinctly different personality than the Master’s, to aid with deception.

Nate read through the whole transformation, mind again racing. ‘So, why does my ‘feminine form’ have a cock?’ he tried to say.

“Why’dja give me a knob, then?” His alter-ego instead said. She had a British accent, of all things, which, while it would certainly help throw off the scent, made translation a less than one-to-one proposition.

“In case you want to sleep with any of the other Villains, of course! It wouldn’t do to deprive you of such a chance, and we’ll have plenty of lesbian funtimes amongst the rest of the harem. So, you get to keep your cock!”

As Nate observed his feminine alter-ego again, he decided that, if he was going to do this, he’d have to compartmentalize this half of the show. It wouldn’t do to slip up and reveal something one form knew that the other shouldn’t. As such, he’d need to get into playing a character, and a character needed a name.

He could just refer to this form internally as ‘Mastermind’, but that felt too distant to really get into character. His mind went through a few thoughts, ‘MM’, or maybe just ‘M’?

“What do you think, Master?” Serena asked.

“’Salright. And name’s Emma. ‘Ow do I swap?”

“Oh, simply say, ‘Loyal is my heart.’”

“Loyal is my heart,” This one phrase his alter-ego didn’t fight him for, and she spoke it aloud perfectly. Then there was that sensation of switching back to his original foot, and Nate stood again in the mirror.

He took a deep breath, watching his reflection do the same, then turned to Serena, pushing her arm off him. “Alright, that was mildly disorienting, but I suppose it’ll work. Speaking is weird like that, though.”

“That’d be the personality module, doing its best to keep you different in the minds of others. And do be careful to maintain that secret identity, Master, as any of the Contestants or Villains that find out your secret will be punished.”

“Punished? Punished how?”

Serena shook her finger and tutted at him, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. I won’t be saying. If you knew, you would find a way to work around it. It could be they’ll lose points, it could be they’ll be unable to gain points from that point onwards, it could even be they’re disqualified. I’m not going to say, so just make sure it doesn’t happen, capiche?”

Nate rolled his eyes. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy. “Alright. Now are you going to give me the boons and powers yet or am I going to have to betray my friends and family without them?”

“You’re absolutely right!” Serena turned back to the audience. “It’s time to dish out the Master’s first boon! But I’m not the one deciding it, like with transformations for the Contestants, it’ll be an audience vote! Let’s see what the options are!”

THE MASTER

A: Virility – The Master’s ejaculations will now result in enough cum to perform a one-man bukkake. (A-Rank Strength)

B: Endurance – The Master shall always have enough sexual endurance to satisfy every active sexual partner during a sexual encounter. (A-Rank Durability)

C: Sensitivity – The Master’s touch increases sexual sensitivity, to greater effect on erogenous zones. (A-Rank Speed)

“Now, as you can see, these boons are strictly helpful, and not tied to any of the archetype system the Contestants use. Also, for the Boons, only the chosen Boon will be replaced each week – both not-selected Boons will appear the next week, so don’t feel bad if your vote doesn’t win, maybe it’ll win next week!”

“Wait, the hell? Why are they all A-rank powers?”

“Well it’s about to be 1v6, are you really going to complain?”

“No, I suppose not, I just feel bad for the girls…”

“Then I suggest you spend plenty of time making them feel better over the next 100 days!”

“Sigh… Of course you would think that.”
