It is a perfectly ordinary, dull Sunday afternoon. Homework completed ages ago, Anna lounges on her bed, reading a book.

Status Effects: 'Innocent' Virgin
Description: Anna Faust is the older child of Dr. Johann Faust, M.D. and Eliza Faust nee Gottlieb, RN. Her sister, Dora, is five years younger. Though her mother instilled her with a fervent respect for nurses, she chose to follow in her father's footsteps. A budding genius, she was able to get into college at the age of sixteen and at eighteen is in her third year of pre-med. She selected a local university and lives at home in order to remain close to her much-younger sibling--and take advantage of her father's connections. She likes studying, goth culture, murder mysteries, and horror stories. Although a nigh-perfect "good girl" on the surface, her hidden fascination with the darker things in life has left her open to the possibilities of the Erogame.
Skills:
Erogamer's Body (Lvl MAX): The biological ability to live your life as an erogame. Venereal disease doesn't exist for you, or periods or pregnancies or yeast infections. Arbitrarily large appendages can fit inside any of your orifices. You heal from all marks with a good night's sleep, ready for the next day's adventures. Other aspects of this skill depend on the BOD stat.
Erogamer's Mind (Lvl MAX): The mental flexibility to live your life as an erogame. You're more able to accept the realities of your new world. You'll also bounce back from painful, upsetting and bizarre sexual experiences with relative ease. Rape can be anything from a recoverable trauma to a Tuesday afternoon, but it won't ruin your life. Other aspects of this skill depend on the LST and PRV stats.
Erogamer's World (Lvl MAX): The consent of reality to live your life as an erogame. People are never too preoccupied to consider sex or romance, not while you're around. Bystanders won't ignore what you do, but they're unlikely to actually stop you. Those who do decide to involve themselves are drawn into the logic of the Erogame. If you go far enough that an authority sees no choice but to intervene… they won't treat you as a simple criminal. Other aspects of this skill depend on the ERO stat.
Perks:
But She Was Such a Good Student: If this were a different game, you'd be starting with a high INT stat. Throughout your scholastic career, your grades continue to reflect your actual knowledge of the course material, and you have no unusual difficulties mastering that material. Even if you miss classes or assignments for, uh, reasons.
Info // Status Effects:
'Innocent' Virgin: Merely existing in the age of the Internet has already raised your PRV stat above 10. Still, until you choose to lose your virginity, the Erogame will not force you to give it up.
Info // Character Stats:
LVL / Level: The quantified totality of your potency as an erogame character. The effect of this characteristic goes beyond just the 5 extra stat points you get per level, and the additional perk point you receive every 5th level.
BOD / Body: Your physical attractiveness. At higher levels, your body becomes able to enact more exotic erogame events.
LST / Lust: The intensity of your sexual urges, or lack thereof. How easy it is to turn your keyhole.
SED / Seduction: Your ability to seduce others, to pique their interest and arouse their desire.
FUK / Fucking: Your ability to perform in bed and give others pleasure… or other sensations.
PRV / Perversion: Your descent into the world of naughtiness, fetish, deviance, and corruption.
ERO / Erogame Logic: The extent to which the world will bend---or can be bent by you---to create romantic and sexual situations in defiance of probability. Or at higher levels, physics.
DOM / Dominant Energy: Based off SED and FUK, fueling skills that invoke your dominance, sadism, or mastery.
SUB / Submissive Energy: Based off LST and PRV, fueling skills that invoke your submission, masochism, or service.
Info // Character Stats // Level:
At LVL 1, and 0% progress toward the next level, you're as pathetic as you'll ever be.
You can increase your level by completing the quests the Erogame offers you, or by causing romantic and sexual events to happen to you or around you. The more difficult the challenge, the greater the rewards.
Info // Character Stats // Body:
Your BOD of 17 means...you're a pretty teenage girl. You won't turn heads walking into a room, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a straight boy who would say no to seeing you naked. Be proud!
You can increase this stat through exhibitionism, and other acts that invoke the pure beauty and power of your feminine form.
Info // Character Stats // Lust:
At a LST of 8, you're attracted to boys, but you barely have a libido to speak of. You masturbate once a week, two times if you're lucky. You'll have a ways to go to really appreciate your new world.
You gain in this stat while experiencing sexual urges that are unusually intense or that go on unusually long.
Info // Character Stats // Seduction:
Your SED of 2 makes your bodacious bod be literally the only reason why a man would be interested in a blowjob from you.
You can increase this stat by arousing the romantic interest or sexual desire of others, and successfully pursuing them or being caught. Start offering blowjobs, I guess?
Info // Character Stats // Fucking:
Your FUK of 3 means you'd better be extra careful with your teeth while giving those blowjobs. As for other bedroom skills, have you considered trying to… well… move?
How do you increase this stat? Take a fucking guess.
Info // Character Stats // Perversion:
Your PRV of 15, given your complete and utter virginity, is more of a commentary on your Tumblr browsing habits than anything else. Using sex toys, or even (gasp) handcuffs isn't unthinkable to you, and you might get a thrill out of walking onto your balcony naked. You have some fetishes you try desperately not to think about. You'll be a respectable erogamer yet.
You can increase this stat by being a little less close-minded about things, and acting accordingly.
Info // Character Stats // Erogame Logic:
At an ERO of 10, your life has become an erogame taking place in a mostly realistic setting. What happens to you might seem unlikely to others, but it won't break their belief in a sane universe… yet. Witnesses will reach for explanations other than the Erogame, but they'll still notice the unusual events.
If you keep pushing probability to its limits, then probability will learn to be a bit more flexible down there, relax and take it in and not protest so much.
Info // Character Stats // Dominant and Submissive Energy:
If this were a different game, you'd have mana and hit points.
And they'd refill just from you sitting around on your ass doing nothing.
Lol.
What.
...
No, seriously, what.
A tangled jumble of thoughts clamor to be expressed, but what actually ends up coming out of her mouth is, "This is ridiculous, sadism may be correlated with dominance and masochism with submissiveness but they're not the same thing!"
The game either doesn't hear this, doesn't understand it, or doesn't think it worthy of an answer.
The little plus signs beckon.
She sighs and pokes at the one next to SED, because that description really annoys her.
The feeling of your brain subtly rewiring for higher flirtation potential is hard to describe. It's kind of...slippery?

She considers this.
On the one hand, this is ridiculous. On the other hand, she has no idea what's going on but she knows enough about gaming to know that XP is something you want. And she can't think of any way to find out more without "progressing."
Fine. This is kind of ridiculous, but.
She pokes "Y".
Okay. Great.
The internet is a girl's best friend. She tries to look up local bars to see if there are any reputed to be lax about carding pretty girls.
Mickey's appears to be the place to be for the local duplicitous college freshman population. It might not be especially busy at 4 PM, though.
Waiting until this evening is probably for the best.
...
Meanwhile, does a higher FUK stat apply to masturbation as well as having sex with another human being?
Apparently, the answer is "kinda, but not really”.
Masturbating within the first 15 minutes of gameplay has caused your LST to go up by 1!
...She's not sure what she thinks of that, really.
Oh well. She finishes and wipes off her hand and picks up her book again, setting an alarm on her phone for a reasonable time to go sketchy-bar-hopping.
Quest available: In that dress?
Buy and wear an outfit you could actually seduce someone in.
Success: +200 exp, some decent clothes
Failure: You’ll need good luck at that bar.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with her clothes!
...But she has to admit they aren't exactly optimized for this purpose. Fine. She hits "Y" and grabs her purse and heads out, pausing briefly to let her family know she's leaving so they won't try to find her and be alarmed in the failing. She consults her phone for the location of a decent thrift store and heads off.
The station is packed, which is definitely weird for a Sunday afternoon. When the doors to the subway cars open, there’s barely any room to squeeze in.
And a few more people shuffle in behind her before the doors close.
It is sardine-can-level cramped in here. She could turn around, but it'd be tricky.
There's an awkward man stuck directly behind her who keeps getting jostled by the people around him.
Quest available: Double Reverse Chikan
Take advantage of your cramped conditions to make the subway a little sexier, starting with the poor guy behind you. Hint: use your ass.
Success: +500 exp
Failure: Nothing interesting happens to Frederick Henderson today.
