And while she's looking at that screen, the temporary quest update screen appears below it for a couple of seconds:

Quest updated: Exhibitionism 101

Progress: 8 / 25 compliments.

She is so full of conflicted feelings right now.

...instead of thinking about her conflicted feelings, she appears to be fidgeting with those little expandable arrows that show and hide Her Media and the Pictures subheading. Clicky clicky.

 

Okay, Chantal Amaryllis, pull yourself together. Have some thoughts and then think about the thoughts. This game gives quests on timers; if she dithers eternally about everything, she will not receive those delicious checkmarks on her quest list.

...the first thought that springs to mind, unfortunately, is just how motivated by delicious checkmarks she seems to be. She thinks... she does not want to be quite so motivated by delicious checkmarks, actually. She should not be contemplating fulfilling extra quest objectives, especially not when they're those extra quest objectives. (Maybe a little face? Or some artistically arranged cleavage? No, do not.)

But—why shouldn't she be contemplating fulfilling extra quest objectives?

Because that would make her a bad person. Try again. Because the magic hallucinatory sex video game is probably evil and stringing her along to get her to embarrass herself on the internet. Okay, that's a reason to hold off for now, but later, when it's had some more time to establish a track record of not doing that...? People LOVE establishing track records of not doing that and then, eventually, once you've lowered your guard, doing that. This is a pessimistic train of thought and she would like to disembark. Too bad.

...clicky clicky how are her metrics doing?

...those are links. Those are links. The comments count and the, um, the other one, on the specific picture, those are links.

Dare she click them?

...maybe just the Comments one first. To be safe. It leads to a list of comments people have left on her picture, right? Which she could also access on her phone in a completely mundane fashion?

Permalink

Yep! Same comments she's already seen, plus the three new ones.

Okay. She has to know.

She clicks the Orgasms link.

A popup screen overlays that one when she clicks the link:

Error

This action is not currently available.

And below that popup, four new quest screens appear:

Quest available: Pondering the Orbs

Become a wizard! Wizards can, among other things, scry various other points in space and time.

Important: This is a meta-quest with no time limit. Accepting this quest will begin your journey along a mystical path and change you and the world with you.

Quest available: 1969

Create a (sexily) totalitarian regime with total surveillance of the world. Or, at least, of the bedrooms of people pleasuring themselves to pictures of you.

Hackers as shown in fiction don't really exist.

Unless said hacker is also the erogamer.

...she reaches impulsively for the N on 1969 (side note: what a quest title), pauses, reconsiders, takes a picture of the quest text with her phone just in case it turns out to be useful information later, then much more carefully pokes the N on it.

The other three... She doesn't necessarily want to commit to definitely not becoming a sexy hacker. She doesn't want to use sexy hacker powers to spy on people, because that would be terrible, but there are other things one could conceivably use sexy hacker powers for. It's an option she is willing to keep open.

Ego Connection is the most straightforwardly and obviously ethical option here, but quite frankly she would love to be a wizard even though it would be very unethical to use her wizard powers for sexy spying. Maybe if she did both, she could be a wizard and successfully avoid unethical sexy spying...? It says currently these quests are mutually exclusive. That means she could maybe achieve wizardhood later even if she went for the psychic questline first...

Okay, one thing at a time. She can't go for the psychic questline right now, it's Sexy Hacker or wait. Between those, she picks wait.

"Um—" She can't believe she's saying this. "—how much Ero, exactly, do I need if I want to..." She can't even finish the sentence, because the end of the sentence is 'become a sexy psychic spying on people's orgasms with my sexy ESP', and that's, just, not a sentence that is willing to come out of her mouth. "Um. The... psychic quest. That one." She points at it, and then immediately snatches her hand back in a burst of anxious indecision. The game probably isn't even going to answer. Why is she even contemplating doing this??? Is this a thing she wants??? Is she really that curious?????

(Side note, what precisely is a fundamental truth?)

She gets a nicely informative extra popup at that.

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, and other biological capabilities. At higher levels, your body becomes able to enact more exotic erogame events.

LST / Lust: The intensity of your sexual urges, and how easy it is to get you going.

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 // Further Information

For most stats, your numbers compare to the population at large. A stat 10 is average, 20 is the highest in the room, 30 is the highest in the neighborhood, 39 is top 1000 people on Earth. Starting at 40, impossible feats start becoming possible.

ERO is a supernatural stat that the population at large always has 0 of. An ERO of 10 is a realistic eroge, 20 is an improbable eroge set in sexier surroundings, 30 drops the pretense of normality and makes your life fully into a completely unrealistic eroge. Starting at 40, impossible feats start becoming possible.

It is not possible to advance normally from 29 to 30, and an advancement quest must be undertaken for that step, after which each further stat point costs 2 points instead of 1; it is not possible to advance normally from 39 to 40, and an advancement quest must be undertaken for that step, after which each further stat point costs 3 points instead of 2; and so on.

DOM and SUB decay over time and are recharged by engaging in sexy adventures. DOM and SUB maximums are calculated as follows:
—Max. DOM = (FUK + SED) * 10
—Max. SUB = (PRV + LST) * 10

...that's so many stat points to spend if she wants to become a sexy psychic.

Does she even want to become a sexy psychic, though? Like, ignoring the fact that it's clearly the best option being presented to her, does she want to take that option, or would she rather say 'no thanks' to the whole business?

 

Alarmed by the prospect of contemplating her desires, she retreats to more immediate concerns. How is her current quest going? (Could she secure those bonus objectives if she wanted to? It's not wholly clear from the quest wording whether submitting more pictures to the same site would just mean competing with herself, or whether multiple pictures could help increase the total number of compliments... she at least thinks it implied that going to a totally different site would start a separate counter. Also though she is too nervous to secure the bonus objectives. Unless maybe she can munchkin them with cleavage and feature-obscuring lighting, but that seems like a dangerous road to travel. Maybe one more picture with a little extra cleavage to see if a little extra cleavage is enough to count, just to see, not trying to game the system... but then, what if the second picture starts its own separate counter and draws enough attention away from her first picture that neither one makes it in time to fulfill the quest? Troubling.)

Permalink

There's a tenth comment! And all of them seem to be positive, too, which is pretty surprising. The website does seem to be mostly trying to foster that love of community but it's still unclear how they're managing to keep trolls away, especially given how easy it was to find. Maybe some very strict comment filtering policy?

Permalink

...is the magic hallucinatory video game... being nice to her? Is this website improbably nice because she is being set up to succeed? She definitely has some sort of a feeling about that possibility. Results pending on whether the feeling is good or bad.

All right. She will dare to dream. Second picture, now with 60% more Artfully Arranged Cleavage. And she really hopes her fears do not come true regarding separate counters competing with each other and leading to ultimate quest failure.

...she has to spend a solid twenty seconds by the clock nervously dithering before she finally manages to hit the button to upload the second picture alongside the first.

Permalink

The twenty seconds do not bring an eleventh compliment, more's the pity, but the second picture gets three comments almost instantly, from accounts that also commented on her first picture.

Quest updated: Exhibitionism 101

Progress: 13 / 25 compliments.

And she gets another notification:

Someone had an orgasm because of your picture! +10xp
Permalink

The orgasm notifications are so much weirder with the knowledge that if only she ramps up her ERO stat she can become a sexy psychic and find out exactly how at least some of them went down. What if she doesn't want to do that? What if she does?? What if she's massively overthinking this???

Anyway now that she has confirmed that further pictures don't compete with the first, she has a problem, which is that if she wanted to she could complete more bonus objectives. There will be no unobscured faces; no matter how nice the site, she still has exes who could theoretically find such a picture, after which the only appropriate response would be to fling herself directly into the sun. But she has the option, the tempting, terrifying option, to try a few more things and see if any of them count as sufficiently sexually provocative... maybe something involving a bathroom, an artfully fogged mirror, a poorly secured towel...?

Seized by artistic impulses, she tries a few things in this vein. She still isn't sure if she can bring herself to post them, and, after the first ten minutes spent trying to get the lighting and staging to line up just right, she also isn't sure if she will have produced any successful shots by the time her quest timer runs out. (She could, hypothetically, just post something racy without any attention to its artistic merit. But no, in fact, she cannot at all do that, and is slightly disappointed in herself for even letting the thought cross her mind.)

Eventually, she has something that she is, artistically speaking, willing to put her name to. Her made-up character name which has no connection to her legal identity. Now she has to contend with the question of whether or not she's also willing to put it on the internet where somebody will probably have an orgasm to it.

...clicky clicky?

A worrying trend, if in all the time she's taken producing this next photo her previous photos saw hardly any new traffic and no new comments. But... she doesn't want to upload the next one solely out of fear that she won't make it through the quest in time if she doesn't. She wants better reasons than that.

Does there exist such a thing as a good reason to upload this photo?

...well, she is apparently playing a magic sexy video game, and it did offer her an entire stat point in BOD for being sufficiently sexually provocative. If this is her life now, it's probably prudent to get used to it sooner rather than later, lest her game progress be reduced to a crawl as she tentatively tiptoes toward comfort with the concept of herself as a sexual being. And the faster she accumulates game rewards, the sooner she gets to be a wizard. That's probably not a wise basis on which to make this kind of decision. Spoken like someone who does not care nearly enough about getting to be a wizard. She doesn't even know for sure she gets to be a wizard, since being a sexy psychic is clearly the more ethical option and they're currently mutually exclusive!

Okay, quit arguing with yourself and try again. She... does legitimately feel motivated by game rewards and the prospect of completing quest objectives. Completing quest objectives is just sort of intrinsically soothing. But... maybe she doesn't want to do this just for the sake of quest objective completion? Maybe that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to her?

...but she took the picture already. And it's really very pretty. She's—not quite impressed with herself for it, she still feels like she probably could've done better—but there's legitimate artistic merit in the way she set it up, the pose and the framing and the fogged mirror and everything. She is at least a little bit proud of the way she arranged that towel into a configuration that could certainly be termed sexually provocative even though it technically does not reveal any outright sexual parts, while maintaining enough artistic integrity to make the whole thing pretty as well as sexy. And... maybe she wants to see what happens if she posts it? Maybe she wants more compliments?

Is wanting more compliments, for themselves and not for quest completion purposes, a good enough reason?

She thinks maybe it is.

Blushing and half-covering her face with her free hand, she presses the fateful upload button.

Quest updated: Exhibitionism 101

Bonus Objective #2: Be naked or in a similarly sexually provocative state of undress. Completed! You will receive your rewards upon quest completion.

And here are even more comments:

Wow! We got a new artist here!

man I wish I knew how to take pics like that, that's so good

what's your skincare routine? you look so pretty!

Did you photoshop the mirror fog thing or did it actually come out that way? Either way that's really good, I love the natural style!

ur sooooo hot keep posting pics

do we get a vid sometime?

Quest updated: Exhibitionism 101

Progress: 18 / 25 compliments.

And a minute after she's uploaded this third pic her account gets a little notification badge up top. When she clicks it, it informs her that her profile verification process is complete and she may upload other types of media such as audio or video.

Permalink

(...oh no, she wanted compliments and she got them and now she feels slightly good about herself, what do???)


Her first instinct on hearing that she can upload audio and video is "absolutely not" because she's shy enough about pictures already and both of those things would be worse. After a few seconds' thought she realizes that on top of that issue, there's the issue that if she takes this long to arrange a mere picture just right, even a really short video is probably going to take days... hmm. Unless, perhaps...

She digs through her wardrobe to find a short swishy skirt, and paces through her apartment to find a good filming location, and spends several minutes finessing camera angles, and several more minutes trying to get the movement just right, and after only about half an hour of needless perfectionism she has an acceptable five-second video of herself in the corset from the first two pictures, doing a cute little bounce and twirling back and forth to make the skirt go swish. (There is still no face. The spectre of being detected by an ex-boyfriend looms far too large.) She still kind of hates it a little but at this point she is pretty sure the hating it is about her irrationally low opinion of herself and not about the actual quality of the work.

She uploads the tiny video. Probably everyone will hate it as much as she does. That's the self-hatred talking. Who doesn't like swishy skirts?

Permalink

She gets another three compliments (one on her second picture, two on her third) and another orgasm notification by the time she uploads the video, and it takes less than five minutes after that to complete the quest.

Quest completed: Exhibitionism 101

Objective: You have put yourself out there and taken your first steps towards becoming the eroge character you're meant to be! +250xp.
Bonus Objective #2: You also took and published one picture in which you were naked. +400xp, +1 BOD.

ERO Achievement: Also upload a video to the website even though it was not at all part of the quest nor did it have any announced in-game rewards. +150xp, +1 SED.
Your level has increased by 1!
Your level has increased by 1!

Oh goodness. She leveled.

...that's ten stat points, isn't it? Ten is a lot of stat points. Ten is enough stat points to get her significantly closer to becoming a wizard.

She is... not sure she wants to get significantly closer to becoming a wizard, actually. The entire vista of ERO between "leading a reasonably normal life" and "become a wizard" seems vast and terrifying. She can't quite decide whether she wants to save up enough stat points to get all the way to wizard in one fell swoop, or inch forward slowly point by point and give herself time to get used to each individual ERO increase, but she thinks she definitely doesn't want to increase her ERO in ten-point blocks. Actually, she can't get all the way to wizard in one fell swoop, can she? Because of those stat advancement quests. The prospect of stat advancement quests makes her slightly nervous.

Perhaps what she wants... is another quest. Another nice small safe quest that she can accomplish from the safety of her own home without having to directly interact with anyone. That would be nice, she thinks.

But she's not sure how to ask the game for it, so instead she says contemplatively, "Can I see my stats screen again, please?"

What's her weakest stat right now? SED. Does she... want higher SED?? She's not sure she wants higher SED. Or higher LST either. Let's not even discuss PRV. Actually, wait, the further info screen on stats was ambiguous - is there such a thing as a PRV stat advancement quest which might be lurking around waiting to usher her to greater heights of perversion?? Or are advancement quests only for ERO? It seems like advancement quests might be for all the stats?

...BOD is a nice safe stat, and she has the means to check whether it triggers an advancement quest at 29 right here and now. She'll even have stat points left over in case she wants to increase anything else.

She stares at the stat screen, overcome by indecision. Is she really thinking of doing this?? What if it's terrible? What if BOD isn't a nice safe stat after all? People said nice things about her on the internet! Nice things said about her on the internet are PROBABLY ALL CRUEL LIES. What if she becomes Too Pretty and people find her intimidating or upsetting or think she's smug and egotistical? What if she becomes Too Hot and then people want to have sex with her?? People wanting to have sex with her is probably an inevitable result of this whole magic sexy video game thing but there's no call to go inviting it. Except for all of the inviting it that she did by posting pictures of herself on the internet for people to jerk off to. Hey, those pictures had artistic merit. And provided her with game rewards.

...okay. Okay. For empiricism.

She starts hitting the + next to BOD. If it lets her get to 30, she'll stop there. Maybe she can convince herself to put the last point into ERO, if she tries really hard.

Permalink

She can feel her body changing as she tap tap taps the + sign. Whatever it's doing to her, it's... yeah, it continues to be nice? She is not becoming supermodel-thin and she is not becoming a teenage boy's fantasy of breasts-to-waist-to-hips ratio. She's... still herself. Still recognizably herself. Just, you know, prettier. In a way she will find appropriate. Her lips are a bit fuller, but only a bit, and her skin is getting rid of any imperfections she does not want to keep. Her hair is definitely better than it's been on her best hair day ever. She doesn't have bags under her eyes, her breasts get firmer, the curve of her ass into her thighs gets nicely accentuated but in a fluid, smooth, natural way. Her muscles are doing better, too; not in a "bodybuilder" way, more in a "this person exercises for health and perhaps some strength" way.

When the stat reaches 29 and she presses the button one more time to get it to 30, the button disappears and she gets a quest prompt.

Quest begun: Dipping Your Toes

The Erogame approves of science! But science alone is not sufficient to prepare you, body and soul, to life as an erogamer. In order to advance the BOD stat to 30, you will need to prove—to yourself and to the Erogame—that you are ready to explore the power and allure of your beauty and sexuality.

Take ten pictures of yourself—which must be meaningfully different from each other, not merely different angles on the same pose—and upload all of them to an online space where they can get at least 5 comments each.

This is the first quest in your stat advancement quest chain. You will not be able to advance your BOD stat any more than its current level until the last quest in the chain. At BOD 29, most forms of exhibitionism you would currently think of doing would not increase this stat, but if you go far enough above and beyond your current level of comfort you might get extra BOD points in addition to your 30th at the end.

Success: +500xp, next quest step unlocked.
Bonus Objective #1: Respond to at least five comments in your pictures. +100xp.
Bonus Objective #2: Take at least two such pictures in public. +200xp.
Bonus Objective #3: Go out in public wearing a very revealing and/or skimpy outfit (not necessarily lewd—short skirts and cleavage could all work). +400xp.
Bonus Objective #3.1: ???. +1,000xp, +1 LST.
Bonus Objective #4: Get a compliment from a stranger in public. +250xp, +1 SED.
Failure:
This quest will continue until it's completed and you are ready to move on to the next quest.

Permalink

(A couple of BOD points into the process, she notices that she forgot to set up her phone to record this time, does that, and then continues.)

...okay. Well. Question answered. And now this is a thing that's happening.

Take pictures in public?? Go out in public wearing sexy clothes?? Another godforsaken undisclosed bonus objective????????? And, not to mention, get a compliment from a stranger in public?!?!?!?!?!!

 

Okay. Okay. Calm down. Think this through.

Ten pictures, five comments each. Ten meaningfully different pictures. Some of that can probably be accomplished by choosing different outfits, but her range of clothes suitable to this sort of thing is not that broad. She has already done the towel trick and probably should not just do The Towel Trick, Again, although maybe she could experiment with more shower-based photo ideas? And she does have this swishy skirt... perhaps, in fact, she could access some picture variety by taking pictures in front of different backdrops, like, say, in assorted corners of a nice pretty park where hopefully people will mostly not have the chance to look at her...

"...can I at least get a hint about the hidden bonus objective or would that ruin your fun," she ventures.

The game does not give her any helpful popups.
