Patch Notes

10:22 A.M. at the Lia Residence

Laying on the boxspring of Lia’s mattress, Patricia dutifully at my side, it still took me about twenty minutes to get grounded again. Patricia laid by my side while I silently reclined and stared at the ceiling, trying to make sense of it, and I must admit that quiet, analytical company helped. She didn’t offer me any advice, of course, but I’d wager she was waiting to see my course of action.

Beyond laying there, thinking about what little I knew about how long sperm can live in a woman, or how ovulation works, my only course of action was to ask: why? As I look at the app again, and at this new achievement pillar… why did they lie? Why did they do this to me? Why did they take away one of the most important protections I had?

What else would they take?

At last the app answers with a “Tip of the Day” interface that was prompted by nothing except my growing agitation:

TIP OF THE DAY: You can review the patch note history now using the Programs button on any Custom Girl!

Sure enough, a three-line button appears over the ruined Gem Health Program interface. I know that button wasn’t there the last time I checked, and the drop-down “menu” it spits out has only two settings: brightness and patch notes. Is this how they’ll answer me? What patch notes could possibly-

The vague memory of a patch announcement flashes in my mind. When the cops were here, when I was rapidly tapping past all the notifications…

The list of patches is ordered so the newest is on top... and sure enough…

Changelog for Version 1.3b:
Based on User feedback, we've modified the Gem Health Program and all customizations! There was significant User concern expressed for unborn humans inside Custom Girls, so to address these concerns the following changes have been implemented:
(1) There will no longer be any anti-pregnancy functionality through the Gem Health Program. The button will always default to “OFF” even once they activate the Program. Any Custom Girl who previously had that protection “ON” will now have it “DISABLED.” (This will have the same effect of having it turned “OFF” at the time of this patch.) Turning it “ON” for any new Custom Girl will result in it being immediately disabled. Please be careful!
(2) Any and all customizations that would prevent or remove pregnancy are revoked and can no longer be purchased. (No refunds were required on this account.)
(3) Customizations and hotkeys that can enhance fertility are now going to be highlighted in green.
Due to the substantial work required for this upgrade, these features will not be rolled back in the foreseeable future.

That last part doesn't even read like a changelog... but a promise. Over the changelog the date—today— is marked, and the same goes for those earlier changes. I idly scroll as my mind goes to the meaning of all this... but it’s obvious enough. A quick Google on my phone tells me sperm can live up to five days… and the last five days? I’ve ejaculated in every Custom Girl I could comfortably fuck. With this patch, they all became fertile again, and all my cum swimming around in their once-protected wombs…

… I’ m more annoyed than embarrassed that thinking about it gets me hard, but thankfully Patty doesn’t notice.

Alright, so did the succubi wait until now to lay this trap, post-orgy with the most women possible? But why? Are they hoping for future clients in the form of a small army of Haines kids? Am I supposed to buy 41 phones for 41 18th birthdays to get them ready?

I laugh aloud at the absurdity of it, and Patricia draws close enough for her breath to touch my cheek. “So you're OK?”

I blink down at her in surprise. An earnest, fearful stare awaited me this entire time; perhaps. “I'm...” I hesitate to answer, still chuckling nervously as I try to figure out how I have more kids than Custom Girls. Twins? Triplets? What's the distribution? Too early to tell; I give up on guessing. “... I'm just a bit surprised, that's all.”

Whatever amusement that laugh won is replaced with simmering anger. Why would they betray me like this? I think about every Custom Girl I've rutted into, pouring in my seed without a care, so sure that my magical tube-tying for all of them meant I never had to worry... well shit, what else isn't working anymore? What about my VD immunity? I think to Diwa and her apparent choice of career and my blood turns cold. Panicking, I start undoing my pants to check for any signs of disease.

Patricia perks up, but I just shake my head. “Not... right now, I've got to figure this out.”

She watches, perplexed, as I start manipulating my member to check it all around for any signs of trouble. But fresh from the shower as it is, I find nothing... and besides, Dave, the changelog made it clear it’s just the pregnancy thing, right? Alright… alright, I’m safe.

“Does this... really change anything?”

I glance at her, eyebrow raised, before chuckling out, “Does having dozens of kids change anything? Are you serious? What do you think?”

I was being sarcastic, but she gives me an intent stare before replying, “I don’t think it does.”

“And…” I hold back a frustrated sigh. “… how do you figure that?”

“I mean... you get paid to make people feel good, you have a ton of money, and you have all these Girls to help raise them... and as long as you keep getting more gems, and more useful features, and more ways to make more money... well, you told me got all this in just a couple of weeks. What will you have in nine months once the first children are born?”

“I...” I start exasperated, but I slow down as I think about it. “... don't really know.”

“You'll have millions of dollars and thousands of gems and probably at least a dozen more ways to get security and happiness for you and all your lovers and a computer for each one and then we can all read and have fun when you are too busy to be by our side.” She suddenly hugs me tight before I have a chance to respond. “You won't leave me alone too long, right?”

I try to think of something to say, some answer to wipe away that optimism... but is she wrong? Look at everything I've gotten out of two weeks--no, less than two weeks, I still have today and Sunday to get through!--without any real plan. What will happen if I actually spend gems to secure myself against catastrophe? Fine, I can't delete pregnancies... and if I'm honest, the idea of snapping my fingers and terminating over forty potential offspring all at once is a bit too gross for my liking... but who says I can't make sure my baby mommas are well cared for? Realizing suddenly that she's still staring, waiting for my response, I laugh out, “Nah, of course not! As long as you can share.”

She opens her mouth to comment, but resigns to hugging me tighter.

Alright... alright. I have some semblance of a plan, then. Now the question becomes how to maximize my profits and where to find those customizations that can actually be useful for this. I stare at the achievement pillar on the interface again as I hold it high above me and Patty, staring at the daunting number of offspring I have...

“Dave?”

“Yeah?”

“Didn't you say those pillar things give you their name as a title?”

“Yeah.”

“So doesn't that mean 'Custom Heirs' is a title you can earn?”

I blink at the Vita and then down at her. “Well... yeah.”

“What do you think that title does?” I shrug, unsure. She continues, “Do you think you'd get it if you had nine more children? Do you think that title would help?”

Nine more... sweet Jesus. I mean that's totally do-able, but... cripes. No telling if that’s the final stage, either.

“Does this mean I'm already pregnant?” I glance down at her, surprised that she even has to ask... and I see her eyes, wide and both hopeful and fearful, as she whispers, “Did you put... a lot of babies in me?”

My cock, still out, perks up. “Probably,” is the only reply I can honestly give.

Her body suddenly slides and crawls over me, her breasts hanging pendulously as she rises on top of me, her muff gently tapping the tip of my rod. “Could you… make sure?”
