PreIntegration
Ch 5
Sitting on that plastic-covered couch, I was lost in a daze of colors, shapes, and a floating feeling. The lust and desire drained from Renee surged through me like a drug. My body struggled to absorb the energy. I felt higher than ever, reminiscent of when I smoked too much weed and told friends I was seeing God. I’m not even religious.
The pull for more screamed in my head. I wanted to get up and take the next person I saw, then another, to take the life force of those nearby to feed and grow stronger. Show the world it was just a speck among powerful beings like me. I felt myself spiraling, drawn in, but a small part resisted the fog.
An instinct took over as I pushed the energy into my core, directing it instead of letting it rampage through me. I couldn’t let it consume and control me. A centered part of me knew it was wrong and would only control me. I refused any control.
Using that thought, I felt the strength within my own mind push through the fog. I started following, pushing, and guiding all of that energy to my very center. It was small, my core, with brilliant colors that swirled around in a kaleidoscope of shapes and forms. I watched as it latched onto that energy coursing through me, and, like a whirlpool, that stream of power slowly flowed into my core, adding brilliant reds to flash and mix in for a time. The deep red temporarily became the primary color within my core. Finally, I felt like I could breathe normally again, my vision returning as the bright colors faded and the normal, mundane world came back into focus.
“Fuck me, that was a trip.” I felt like I could sleep for a day while the energy swirled in my core. Was this a food coma nap after a huge holiday meal? Rubbing my face to stave off the desire to sleep, I saw rapid blinking in the lower right corner of my eye. I sighed, not wanting to deal with it. Part of me had been procrastinating, making excuses, and rejecting these sudden changes. How does anyone process something out of fantasy? No self-help books would explain the System.
I laughed softly. It was real. I felt the changes in my body and all the strange happenings. “Fuck.” I needed someone besides my guide, just another person to help. I don’t need others to decide for me, but I need someone to talk to a sounding board. A different perspective.
I brought up the Notification screen time to check rewards for claiming the shelter. After accepting the level up, a wave of pleasure made me moan as my body shuddered. Regaining my breath, I spent free points on [Wis] as my guide suggested. Losing control scared me. The System revealed truths about who I am. I may be a pervert who thinks about sex, yes. I’m unsure how much I like the System forcing this, or the bloodline stuff pushing at my will.
System Updates initiated.
Please read the patch notes in the Wiki. Any changes that affect you will appear in notifications.
The following changes are system-wide.
Added a new Stat Perception.
Perception
Classified as a mental skill, this stat will help those with high dexterity to keep up with the increased speed and agility. This stat will work in conjunction with INT to help process information faster without taxing mental acuity.
The skill system has been changed due to some assholes who have used this loophole to extremes. Skills are split into two categories. Active and Passive. If you have a skill set to Active, then it can be leveled. Passive skills still work, but can not be leveled. These can be switched out once per System Day. Race and Class will dictate how many Active skills one can have. Traits, perks, and System rewards can add or subtract from this number.
The following notifications are for specific users.
The following Race has been combined with several other versions to create a more streamlined race.
Futanari
This race is an artificially created species spanning several universes, generally in response to some catastrophic event. Futanari are considered an upgrade from the basic Human species. Combining the Genetics of both the Male and female, generally of human origins. The Futanari can breed with females of almost any Humanoid race. Futanari can be bred. But only by other Futanari. They tend to be smarter, stronger, and have more endurance than Humans and are considered a Legendary race with bonuses at higher levels. They have a limit of 8 active skills, with an increase of 1 active skill per 5 levels.
+1 to STR, END, INT every level
+1 to VIT, CHR, and WIS every 3 levels.
One ability every 5 levels
3 class perks at creation.
Please note that some perks were moved to abilities.
You have six more skills to pick from.
The following changes pertain to PreIntegrated worlds.
As you level and see stat increases, those increases will only be in effect within your safe zones or system-controlled areas. Upon Integration, those stats will be updated to current levels. Stats can still be increased normally (So, a big hint: take advantage while you can)
Congratulations
You have unlocked access to Sexual Energy. Note: it appears as SE on your status tab.
You have gained a new skill.
Affinity: Sexual Energy
Figures. Well, this was a new one. I brought up the description.
Sexual Energy
As a sex demon, you feed off the Sexual Energy of others. This can be done either through sexual acts or you can pull it directly from bonded members of your harem that you have had sexual relations with. Also, some Succubus combat abilities have the ability as well. This energy fuels your demonic nature. Also, due to your Race as a sexual being, you will receive an additional 50% when you feed.
I glanced at the new stat. Three points. Easy to see what I gained from the tryst and bonus.
Well, that was a lot to take in. Fuck did the system just do a major balance patch? That got me giggling for a minute. So I had skills to pick, but there didn't seem to be a huge rush to choose them right now. Will consider what to get when I have more information. It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since this all happened.
My phone went off, startling me. Shit. I guess I get service down here.
This is a major weather advisory. Warning: A Major snowstorm is heading to the San Angeles area. Expected arrival within two to three hours. The Estimated snowfall is ten to eleven inches.
Well Damn. That is going to put a damper on things.
Peeling off the couch, I saw the key card and keys on the table. Picking them up, I headed upstairs, wondering how long I’d been down there. I wanted to explore the shelter, but life pressed on. Maybe the coming storm would give me time. Before taking the elevator, I checked my status sheet to see what I gained from the System area.

Taking a moment, I quickly scanned over everything and noticed not just where things had been moved but also name changes to abilities. Nodding as if nothing seemed to be out of place. I liked how the screen made more sense as I closed it out and pressed the elevator button. In that moment, I felt a weakness rush over me, leaving the system's full influence.
OK, wow, that is a huge difference. Still, it gives me an advantage in preparing for things to come. To focus on increasing as many stats as I can to give me an edge when the time comes. Stepping back into my penthouse, I find Marie just returning from shopping. Quickly, I rush over to help her bring in the groceries from the lobby.
“Thank you, Miss Garner. I received an alert for the incoming storm. Miss Carpenter texted me to let me know she would be staying a few days. So hopefully this should last till things clear up some.” Seeing her smile, I easily return it.
“Thank you, Marie; you are a lifesaver, and sorry for not telling you. She informed me right before Renee came in. Taking in a deep breath, I realized that Marie was giving off a thick scent of lust every time she looked at me. Just yet another thing for future me to look over, adding that to my list.
