Branded Heroes

The universe is a vast yet violent place. Surprisingly, it is crowded and full of **** and bloodshed-different races and intergalactic empires and factions fighting for control.

Humanity didn’t know this for many years. Even when they looked at the greater universes, the shifting and earring energies of the universe, and the various technologies particularly in cloaking and light manipulation, resulted in humanity missing these other races. But at the turn of the 22nd century, two major events occurred.

In the year 2105, a scientist named Sorenus Skies discovered a new form of energy, one that didn’t follow any previously known rules of science. Due to this defiance of traditional science, it was dubbed Arcane energy, after the source of magic in fantasy stories. And after many experiments and calculations, he and his research team concluded that it could be used to do things like the spells that existed in such stories-but only if commanded to do so by lifeforms that connected to such arcane energy. Something which humans did not.

Then 4 years later, in 2109, humans were discovered and sieged by alien life forms. Most of these, oddly enough, were quickly discovered to be humanoid. Of course, humans didn’t just give up. They fought back when attacked by the aliens-who coveted Skies’s research and the beautiful lands of earth. However, humans lagged far behind in technology and power by comparison to those who had been waging intergalactic warfare for millennia. In the year 2117, humans were facing their end. They had only lasted as long as they did because some of their enemies were fighting more amongst each other for control of earth, rather than fighting against earth’s denizens themselves.

Humanity did not know, however, of the universe’s most powerful warriors-a race that lived in a black hole a few galaxies away was the race known as The Void People. The Void People did not conquer-they were, however, defenders of the weak and innocent. Particularly, of a race who had never before encountered alien life forms were besieged by several, this race was known to have a randomly selected individual amongst it step in to bless the race under siege with a fighting chance. Humanity fell into this category-soon enough they found themselves blessed by one of these people.

As the void person fell onto Earth in secrecy, he quickly found the perfect way to bless the people of Earth-one that combined the Earth’s own hard work, the power to defend humanity, and this particular individual’s own perverse and twisted mind. And so the individual triggered a harmonic convergence, where all the solar system’s planets aligned-and he used it’s energies to bless the females of the human race with the power to use arcane energy-but at a cost.

Now one of the few races in the universe with the ability to access these powers, the female warriors of the human race rose up and defended their planet-within two decades, they had even pushed the invaders out of their solar system. And while other races still continued to attack them, the humans were no longer in dire straights. They were simply now another one of the thousands of races vying for control in the universe-and a rather local one too.

However, the costs of the ability to use arcane energy that had been granted also soon revealed itself. As females reached full maturity around the age of 18, they developed their magical powers, but they also developed a couple of other things. The first of these was a massive sexual appetite-it was said that the more powerful a lady was, the sluttier and hornier they were-all of the more powerful magic users were considered to be massive sluts-giving their body out at the drop of a hat when not in battle. At least, until they went through a specific change-their branding.

The second thing females developed at full maturity was the ability to be branded-the first time a female debased themselves upon a powerful enough cock, they would develop a brand, and become the sex **** of the person who had branded them. No longer would they whore themselves out to anyone-they would only be slutty towards their “owner.” Their magical powers would also multiply when they become branded-and the more magical power they had, the more it multiplied when hey became bonded.

In fact, everything about a female was focused around their magical power-the more magical power they had, the more beautiful they were, the more horny they were, and the harder to brand them it would be.

Soon after the war, human society had changed massively to adjust for the larger universe. All countries were abolished-instead, the United Earthen Nations were born-the previous nations now served more as massive states than anything else. Human scientists were tasked with deciphering captured alien tech and using it to rapidly boost humanity's level of technology. Having said that, humanity still thrives outside of war. Industries such as the entertainment industries of Movies and Games were still booming just as much as before the war, for example.

The army was now female only-it was called “The Valkyries Of Earth.” Females were classified at different levels of magical energies-from J-Class to A-Class. Those of E-Class and above had the option of joining the human army-those of C-Class and above were required to-not that it was usually a problem with them-many females C-Class and above were more than happy to be allowed to show off the power of their magic.

Their existed stories and rumors of women who were classified at S-Class. While they only fought as well as the best of the Branded A-Class women, they were supposedly too powerful for any man to brand successfully-instead, they were beauties who spent their off time running around and fucking as many guys as possibly in an attempt to find someone who could brand them.

Men who ‘owned’ women of C-Class or above were referred to as breeding studs. The position was the dream of many males-breeding studs stood at the top of society. They were granted enormous wealth and privilege. Most did not work. In large, this was because they rendered the service of empowering the most powerful women of human society to even greater heights, and therefore contributes heavily to humanity’s might. The Alpha Studs, capable of branding A-Ranks, were particularly valued. Breeding studs were the only males allowed to go into military bases, or live in military ships-they were only allowed to do so if it was to stay with the women they owned. These males were rarely seen in society. As more powerful females had higher sex drives, many breeding studs who owned multiple women spent all day in bed satisfying their slaves.

Breeding studs were defined as being able to brand C-Class women as that was the level at which their slaves could no longer be stolen. This was because of a male had a cock that was significantly stronger than that of another male, they could steal the other one’s slaves. The threshold for this was 3 ranks. So, for example, if a male who could own at best E-Ranks were to fuck a female owned by the male who could own H-ranks at best, the woman’s brand would change, and they’d become owned by the person who could take E-Ranks. However, if a person were trying to steal from one who could own G-Ranks, they’d fail. Seeing as nobody was known yet to be capable of branding an S-Rank, if one could brand a C-Rank, not even someone who could own A-Ranks could steal from them, and they were therefore classified as breeding studs.

You were a career-driven man. You were born 27 years ago, in 2170, and had been in the Game Development Business for 5 years. It had been a decent career thus far. You had gotten into a decent company right out of college, and after 2 years of work, you had come out with a decent hit for the computer and current console generation-an action RPG called Desolate Nation. Having participated in the first couple of planning meetings for the following game, you had had high hopes for the future at that time.

Unfortunately, executive meddling had you changing plans to try and chase popular trends. An emphasis on chasing-failure to release before the trends ended saw the company begin to fall upon rough times. While they had begun to return to its roots to produce a more quality product, just earlier this week they had decided to lay off all but one project in order to concentrate their resources. Unfortunately, this also resulted in laying off 70% of their staff, including you.

That was why you found yourself at a bar tonight. It was decent quality. The beers were good, the food was delicious, and you spotted several whores searching for brands. One came up to you early in the night, but you had turned her down. You dreamed of becoming good enough to enter the premiere VR space that tech advancements had opened up-the ones that allowed the player to enter an **** state while they fully submerged themselves in a new virtual world. Any chance of owning slaves were ones you had passed up.

That’s not to say you were a complete virgin. You had played around plenty in your last 2 years of high school. You just hadn’t really participated in sexual activities in the past decade or so.

Turning back to the barkeep, you ask for another drink-something stronger this time. You knew you’d have to start applying for a new job tomorrow, but for today, you were happy to get sloshed.

A few drinks later, and the world started to spin.
