Dustin came down from the heady pleasure gradually, panting from exertion and feeling more pleasantly drained than he ever had. In front of him his mother was shaking and he pulled out of her and gently guided her, panting and trembling, back to his bed. She collapsed onto it and seemed to almost immediately fall asleep, curling up against his pillows.

She looked… happy he thought. Not just sated with pleasure, but with a small, contented smile on her face as she sleepily hugged one of his pillows and settled against it. It was an expression at odds with the streaks of cum that still painted her cheeks and he turned, retrieving a wet wipe from his desk and gently dabbing her clean. She barely stirred.

There was no shame associated with cleaning her, he realized. He was not trying to hide what they had done, or erase it somehow. No, but a King should care for his subjects. He smirked at the thought and pulled the covers over her, standing and watching her for a long moment. She was his now, not just his woman, but his responsibility. By claiming her in this way he had put her on the same strange new path that he had chosen for himself by deciding to play the App’s Game of Kings. It was a strange thought, one that would have been alien to him yesterday, and he wondered if this change was just him adjusting to the new reality, or if the app was somehow molding him as he used it.

If it was, did he care? He tried to take a mental inventory. The affection he held for his mother was still there. The thoughts, feelings and memories were all still his. Just… changed. Changed by the new lens through which he now viewed the world. The lens of someone suddenly thrust into a great game with ultimate power as the stakes. The thought called him back to action and he turned, stalking naked across the room to his desk and picking up the phone. There were about a dozen notifications from the app. He opened it and the first one flashed up.

Level Up!
Congratulations, you have reached Level 2.

Authority Increased
Active Range Increased
Passive Range Increased
Tags Increased

He grinned, good, he had hoped that would be the case. He would have to check how much each of them had increased, that would dramatically alter how quickly he was able to pursue some of the plans he had made. Before that though, there were more notifications.

Several of them were time-stamped from the lengthy sex session he had just enjoyed and read “Verbal command accepted - Jessica Kingsley - Exp+, Res-”. He had expected that, her reactions had indicated that the app was able to work through him, not just his phone, but it was good to see confirmation.

Clearing the notifications he switched the screen to his own summary.

“Level: 2” sat proudly at the top. He scrolled through the stats below, looking for what the stats he was most interested in.

Active Range: 250ft
Passive Range: 1 mile
Tags: 1/2

Hmm, the major increases in range were good, but only 1 extra tag available. He wondered if that would be consistent per level or if higher levels would add more and more per level up. That would affect his strategy. The same with the ranges. If they progressed geometrically the next level up might give him a passive range of 10 miles or more, enough to encompass most of the core of the city. So, what was the play? Find someone else local and shoot for level 3, or start immediately trying to establish a broader base of power?
