Actually, pretty good. Probably should have expected that.

With a click, time continued. Taylor and Rohan yelped, since from their point of view Josuke and I pressed a button then suddenly a pregnant woman appeared.

“Wha-Who-Ho-Where am I!?” Oh, right, last Saki knew she was dying in a bathroom…

I crouched next to her and said “Okay, long story, but the short version is I have supernatural powers and I saved both yours and your child’s life. Oh, also I grabbed your savings, so you’ll still have that. And you aren’t addicted to **** anymore.”

From how blank her expression was, I’m guessing she’s still having a hard time comprehending all of that… Eventually she asked “Wh… Why’d you save me…?”

“Well… that’s a complicated story… First of all, I can travel to other universes, including fictional ones. Where I’m from, you and these guys here are all fictional characters.”

“I’m… fictional…?”

“Oh, not to say you aren’t real or don’t matter! Based on how parallel worlds work, pretty much anything that can be imagined happens in some timeline somewhere. Heck, my life’s probably a fictional story in some universe! It’s also likely that it’s an Internet porn story barely anyone reads, but I’m cool with that.”

Jeez, I’m getting off topic. I continued “Anyways, your story was really sad, so I wanted to help you get a happier ending. This is Josuke, you’d probably know him from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, he helped me save you. He healed you so you wouldn’t die, and cured your **** addiction, so that’s not gonna bother you once your daughter’s born.”

She gasped “Oh my god, my baby! She…?” and stared in wonder at her still-pregnant torso.

“Oh, forgot to mention your baby’s still alive, Josuke saved her too. Anyways, now that you have your money and you’re alive, you can do what you wanted and start a new life with your kid! Actually, if you want I could maybe go back to your world and help you reconcile with your mother, explain how your dad was the one who started molesting you, stuff like that.”

“I… I… Th-Thank you…!” And… now she’s crying. And hugging me so tightly it’s like she’s afraid I’ll disappear. You know, considering how terrible her life’s been up till now, I probably should’ve expected this kind of reaction. People’s emotions are based on a defined baseline that changes along with the current state of their life, after all.

And since Saki’s life steadily got worse as her story continued, her baseline is exceedingly low. So suddenly experiencing, from her perspective, the mother of all Deus ex Machinas would be an overwhelming relief unlike anything she’s ever felt before. And as the person who provided that unimaginable relief, I became incredibly important to her in an instant.

“P-Please don’t go! I need you, we need you, don’t leave me behind!” she cried as she purposefully rubbed her very pregnant stomach. I… what am I even supposed to do at this point!? If she hangs around me, I’m gonna end up having sex with her. Plus, if Kurt and Kate are any indication, I’ll probably sleep with her (at this point) unborn daughter too! And that’s probably not the best for her, considering all the Hentai Manga BS she’s already been through…

I just wanted to do something good for a change, am I just cursed to just bone every woman I meet!? Wait.

I didn’t “have sex” with my starter slaves at first, did I? While I was considering whether it would be okay, my Rapey Slaves perk made them take the initiative, and kept me from resisting. And the second time it activated, Taylor was influenced to make the first move too. Both cases where I was apprehensive about sleeping with someone, and one of my perks made a decision for me. Heck, Taylor still ended up sleeping with me after that lethal round of cunnilingus…

In my Head Start build… I got the Serendipity perk, which affects my luck so that I end up with more sexual encounters than I normally would. Is it possible that those two perks combined… actually do curse me into sleeping with women I would normally refrain from?

And then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a woman with red hair, blue eyes, and a yellow slingkini.

Ah, so that’s how it is.

I grabbed Saki’s shoulders, saying “Saki. I’m probably a bad person. I mind control, enslave, and impregnate people, changing who they are on a fundamental level to suit my fetishes. The only good part about it is I try to make sure they’re safe and feel happy. Not just pleasure, but genuine happiness. And, granted, just cause I try to do it doesn’t mean I succeed. If you come with me, that’ll probably happen to you too. Are you okay with that?”

She was shocked, but after a few moments of consideration, nodded her head. Well, that’s certainly as informed a consent as I could get, right?

Her eyes got their heart-pupils as I wrapped an arm around her protectively. Her body grew a tiny amount, since she was probably around 16 or 17 during her story’s end, and Mindslavers that can change ages deal with 18+ only. Taylor asked “Okay, uh… what now?”

“I have a date. Sorta. Thank you for all your help, Rohan and Josuke. I’ll come back when I have more of a story to tell.”

As I opened another portal, the two real-life anime men said their farewells, albeit a little uncomfortably. I guess even my circumstances are a bit too bizarre for them…
