Seven is boring, let's get to the fun part

Floor seven turned out to be a puzzle floor. A collection of puzzles where scattered throughout it. I began inspecting the various puzzles, and after maybe an hour I finished them all. They weren't all that hard once you found the clue to it. The floor rewarded me with a point in Intel and wisdom, and a notebook so I could write down hints in the future.

Floor eight became something else entirely.

I arrived in a small room. The entire room was made from white limestone and ornate carvings of a plant I've never seen before decorated the walls. The only source of light came from the doorway, which was large and almost as high as the ceiling. The way out was barred by a fence made from bamboo. The entire thing resembled some ancient temple I have read about in history. When I approached the fence to inspect it, the objective for this floor revealed itself.

Plants, people, and pleasure.

A vicious plant has taken over the jungle beyond this gate. It feeds on the sexual fluids of humans, and can't wait to get its slimy tentacles on you. Move through the jungle to the exit, but beware, the plant has covered the jungle in its pollen making the very air you breath dangerous. Move fast, lest you succumb to the pollens arousing effects.

But beware, you are not alone. A second player will enter the jungle at the same time as you, and the exit will close after the first person that passes through it.

Rewards: ??? amount of gold and items of unknown quality. A new skill, known by the opposing player. Possibly more?

Punishment: Become the latest victim of the jungle plant. Possible loss of character control. Permanently barred from retrying the dungeon crawl event.

This challenge begins when both players have pressed the ready button.

READY

"Damn, that's a harsh penalty. But seriously, a tentacle plant? looks like this game covers just about every fetish out there."

readying my skills and checking my gear, I made the final preparations. When I was done I pressed the ready button.

The window disappeared and it was replaced by a smaller window showing the simple text: Waiting for the second player to confirm.

"And now we wait."

Maybe ten minutes later the window changed into a countdown.

All players ready, gates opening in 10 seconds.

I watched the clock count down, and readied myself for what was out there.

The moment I stepped out of the building into the tropical heat. I stood at the top of a ziggurat, the broad stairs in front of me descended hundreds of steps until it disappeared into the jungle below me.

By the time I made it to the jungle floor I was sweating profusely. My hair was stuck to my head. Sweat flowed from small streams down my temples. And underneath my form-fitting leather armour, I could feel the irritating sensations of wet clothes on my body.

The stairs ended at an overgrown road. The same stones that made the ziggurat were used for the road, and even for the ruined buildings that lined the road. Covering everything was a sea of colours.

Brown rootlike fines covered every surface I could see. Thick yellow tendrils, covered with some snaked through the roots. Green leaves grew from the roots. And in between the leaves where multicoloured flower buds. Lots, and lots of flower buds. Some were closed, some open, and they pulsed with life and energy. There were red ones, and blue, purple, orange, Black, white. Whatever colour I could imagine was present somewhere on the overgrown plantlife in front of me.

I simply stood for a moment to admire the beauty of the scene in front of me, breathing in the sweet air, when a pop-up appeared in front of me.

Wisdom save successful. Natures lust's effect has been reduced.

The strength of natures lust is currently: 18% (LVL 0)

Natures lust. A type of pollen created by nature to arouse any who smell it. In high concentrations will result in lowered mental and physical stats. Will slowly increase in strength the longer it is breathed until the victim succumbs to his or her lust.

"Well fuck. Best get moving then."

I stepped away from the stairs and entered the overgrown city. The moment I began walking through the jungle, the plants around me came to life. The vines on the ground and walls began to twitch, and slowly crept towards me. The yellow tendrils emerged from the cover of leaves and extended through the air in my direction. And the flower buds all turned to face me, the closer ones even going so far as to open in anticipation.

The movements were very slow, so it was a piece of cake for me to keep ahead of them, but the creaking sound of the fines and the sheer amount of flowers pointed at my direction were offsetting. As I walked through the street I was periodically informed of the growing strength of the pollen.

Natures lust is now at level 1

While you are at this level or higher, your body remains aroused.

I could tell the moment the debuff had reached level 1. My body was getting hotter, I could feel my suddenly hard nipples press against the shirt under my armour, and there was a distinct wetness between my thighs that had nothing to do with sweat.

I began to walk faster, looking around for any sign of the exit. The ruined city was big but after long searching, I found a smaller ziggurat in a large square. It was at this time that the game informed me of a new problem, one I had hoped I could avoid on this floor altogether.

Grace time expired, Lecherous is now at level 1.

All stats have been reduced by 2.

"Fuck, this is not what I need right now."

I pressed on, ignoring the messages in the corned showing me the slowly rising numbers of the polluting air. I climbed the stairs of the small ziggurat and entered the welcoming cool of the shady interior. The inside of this room was overgrown by the plant as well, but the density was significantly lowered then outside. This was not the exit I had hoped for, but it wasn't empty either.

In the centre of the room, on a circular dais surrounded by fines and flowers, was a strange stone cylinder. I carefully approached the dais, taking note of the flowers and vines following my every move. I picked up the cylinder and looked at it from all sides. It was about twice the hight of my hand, and the outside was intricately carved with symbols. It looked like it could be opened somehow, but this was not the time, nor the place to do so.

I put the object in my inventory and looked up to see if there was anything else. And looked straight at a large, red, flower bud. One after the other, the petals opened in a spiralling motion that was strangely hypnotic, until the petals where all outstretched and I was looking at the stem in the hart of the flower.

Without warning the flower bulged and it blew a large cloud of dust in my face. In my panic, I inhaled and immediately felt the effects. My vision became blurry and I had to blink my eyes to get it back into focus.

Critical sneak attack from the flower. Natures lust is now at level 3 (79%)

Natures lust level 2: You slowly begin to build a desire for sex.

Natures lust level 3: You become more sensitive to outside stimuli.

I shook my head a final time to clear my head and opened my eyes.

Only to see that I was back at the forest clearing where I fucked that nameless bandit until it was an empty husk. I was currently in the process of fucking him, and I could already hear him grunt as he got closer and closer. After several minutes he came, and I could feel his seed filling my pussy and womb, waiting to be absorbed for its energy. This repeated three more times until I saw a big message in front of me.

The wisdom saves succeeded, illusion countered.

My sight changed back from the forest to the ruined room I was in. I immediately became aware of the pleasant fucking inside me. Wait, what?

I looked to my lower body and could barely suppress a scream. One of the yellow tendrils had worked itself to my groin and used the distraction of the illusion to worm itself inside my trousers. There it had quickly found my pussy and was now moving in and out in a most satisfying manner. I took a step back, away from the tendril, but found my feet unmoving. The vines laying on the floor had wrapped themselves around my feet and legs, preventing me from running away. All I succeeded in was falling over, and I was now on the floor with a tendril fucking me.

The pleasure of being fucked, combined with the debuffs from the Lecherous trait and the spores I inhaled, made it a piece of cake for the tendril to make me cum. When I came, I screamed as the unusually powerful orgasm rushed through me. I twitched and shook as the orgasm robbed me of my strength, and for a short moment, all I could do was lay on the floor as the tendril continued fucking me.

Before I had a chance to fully recover did I sense the sensations build again. I risked a glance at the messages at the top of my HUD, and my eyes widened.

Natures lust level 4 (21%)

Natures lust LVL 4: You become increasingly responsive to direct stimulation to your erogenous zones, while at the same time suffer reduced mental resistance to sexual pleasure. Each consecutive orgasm within a 5-minute timespan will increase these effects.

"Shit. Fuck. I have to do something. And fast. Maybe...my. sword?"

Further thoughts about escaping where wiped from my mind as a second orgasm made me scream and spasm on the floor. I could have sworn that I felt a jet of fluid with that one. Did I just squirt? From a slimy tentacle?
