You enter the green expanse of the forest, feeling the faintest twinge of nostalgia for the beginning of your journey. You've never thought about it before, but on further reflection, it really was incredibly fortunate that this was one of the first places you discovered[if (player has discovered rift and crag) {, as opposed to the blazing meat-grinder of the crag or the frozen wastes of the rift}]. Even the tentacle beasts that punctuate the area are firmly within your ability to handle, giving the whole place an air of familiarity instead of the danger you once felt as you strode between the sunbeams piercing the canopy up above.

However, your peace is soon interrupted by the sound of combat, and it's not the typical sounds of clanging swords, knocked arrows, or even the exceedingly rare gunshot. Rather, it sounds like someone is rapidly casting spells! You drop just an inch lower, preparing to deal with the encounter you presume you're about to have, as the surprisingly "sparkly"-sounding spells get louder and louder. Soon, a pair of bushes rustle, and a figure sporting a myriad of bright colors pops out of the shrubbery with several imps in tow!

"Leave me alone, you tiny little freaks!" the figure vindictively screams behind her as she fires several small, silvery-pink balls of energy at the horde of six imps giving chase.

The girl attempting to escape her aggressors seems to be rather young--in her teenage years, if you were to hazard a guess, though her height is that of someone even younger, clearly being a few inches under five feet tall. She's also without much in the way of breasts, sporting a couple small palmfuls. In contrast, given the way her skirt seems to be constantly impacted by a certain jiggling something, you can tell she's got a rather large pair of buttcheeks stuffed in there somewhere, thick thighs visible inside the gap between the bottom of that skirt and the top of an unusually long pair of socks.

In fact, though the girl looks a bit unusual in her own right with sparkly, blue eyes and silvery-pink, back-length hair, it's her outfit that's the most unusual, striking thing about her--you have definitely never seen anything like this in all your days. It's revealing, it's frilly, and it's composed of a form-fitting, multi-layered pink, white, and red dress halting at the mid-thigh, clearly made of soft, fluffy fabric on the lower layers and a slightly rubbery-looking, pink material on the outermost layer, similarly rubbery-looking gloves and boots on her limbs to match. A fairly revealing cleavage window showing off the girl's B-cups enhances the sex appeal of the look to the point where, if it didn't look so aggressively "cute," you'd have to say it most properly belongs on a high-class wench of some kind. It's really that cuteness that throws a wrench into your analysis. It's almost like someone took a princess, a maid, a warrior, a priestess, and three prostitutes before mashing them all together into one person.

Even her weapon screams "CUTE" with all possible emphasis, being a red staff about half as long as its wielder is tall, one end topped with a pink, metal Venus symbol sporting a white-hot halo to cap it all off, while the other end is tipped in the most shameless, purple, ribbed dildo you've seen in a while.

"Seriously, once I power up, I'm gonna come back here and turn your heads into a squishy, red mush under my boot!"

Ah, that's right. You should probably do something here, shouldn't you? The girl is still blasting the imps chasing her with small, glowing orbs of power, but the imps don't seem to be getting all that hurt from it, each hit imp taking a tumble before resuming the chase at the back of the pack. Looking at it completely neutrally, it actually looks kind of comical, like the kind of thing a band would play a silly tune for during a funny scene in a stage play.

Do you step in to save the girl?

CHOICE 1: Be a Hero/Tough Luck

>Tough Luck

"GYAAAAHHHH, you little cherry-skinned twerps are so annoying!" is the last thing you hear before the stampede of imps chase the girl into the underbrush once again. You get the feeling you'll probably run into her again if you keep looking around the forest.

>Be a Hero

Whether it's for the reward that might await at the end, for the justice of helping someone out, or just for the hell of it, you decide to help the girl. Stepping forward, you shout out towards the imps that they should pick on someone their own size, drawing the attention of all present.

Silly Mode Only:
If the champ is not close to the height of an imp:
"Have you met many people around here as remotely close to our size as she is???" the imps clap back with a sneer.

You have to admit they have a point. Nevertheless!

If the champ is close to the height of an imp, or below:
"Don't mind if we do! Get [him]!" the imps delightedly shout at their next presumptive target, once they see you.

Perhaps that wasn't the smartest thing to say to them, but it did the job!
/Silly Mode Only

The imps turn towards you, though that's partly because the girl who's been chased by these imps has started running in your direction instead, her expression having turned into a bright, wide smile!

"Finally, someone actually useful!"

You internally question the tone of her "useful," though it's hardly the time to get distracted by minor details.

Speaking of which, you get distracted looking at the cute, sparkly girl's boldly-bouncing B-cups boisterously bumping outwards against her top. You have to admit, they do actually look like they're...

CHOICE 2: Budding/Big Enough (Toggles On/Off Mina's Breast Expansion every level-up)
TOOLTIPS: They have the potential to get bigger and bigger/They won't ever get any bigger than they are now

And while you can't actually see her ass at the moment, you can definitely imagine it, strapped up tight in a cute pair of undies totally stretched backwards a good few inches by plump, fat cheeks that wiggle and wobble profusely with every single step she takes. Imagining the little cutie lifting up her skirt and shaking those cheeks, you think that ass is...

CHOICE 3: Blossoming/Plenty Large (Toggles On/Off Mina's Butt Expansion every level-up)
TOOLTIPS: It has the potential to get bigger and bigger/It won't ever get any bigger than it is now

The girly voice you heard before shouting out "Heads-up, perv!" is just about the only warning you get before you are shocked to attention and knocked flat on your [ass] by the girl, taking her savior by surprise! You both tumble to the ground as the imps lag behind the girl by only a half a minute, at most. Why is she doing this? Doesn't she realize you were trying to save her? You're about to pump life and might into your limbs to correct the situation when the girl, now looming over your body, straddles your [tummy] with her plump thighs and parks the buttcheeks you can now feel are exactly as fat as you thought directly on top of it, her silvery pink hair draping around your face. She tells you exactly three words.

"Let it happen."

CHOICE 4: Resist (Requires 50 Strength and 65 Agility)/Let It Happen
TOOLTIPS: You're not going to let this tiny girl tell you what to do/You're [i:absolutely] going to let this tiny girl tell you what to do

>Champ successfully Resists (Choice 4 branch)

Employing your quick wit, strong muscles, and nimble dexterity, you manage to kick the colorful girl off of your body and roll backwards up onto your feet! You get the feeling you avoided something fairly depraved, though the girl now stumbling backwards looks up at you with a desparate plea in her eyes as soon as she regains her balance.

"Okay, listen! I'm sorry! I need a tiny bit of your power so I can defend myself! That's all!"

...Seems like you really raised an unexpected possibility for her by being strong enough to overcome the element of surprise, but given the circumstances, it's almost surprising this didn't turn about to be some elaborate subterfuge of a powerful villainess, or something like that. The emotion on display certainly seems genuine. The imps grow closer, and while you'd like to find out what exactly she meant by "a tiny bit of your power," there's really no time for discussion. The girl clasps together her rubbery-gloved hands and quickly adds on a pleading "there's no time! I need to kiss you, all right!?"

A kiss? Why didn't she just say so? Now that you have a vague idea of what this girl was trying to do to you, will you let her do what she wants?

CHOICE 4.1: Kiss The Girl/Fight Imps/Revenge
TOOLTIPS: (None)/Say that you'll take on the imps for her/Give her a swift knock on the dome and leave her to the imps

>Kiss The Girl (Choice 4.1 branch)
Despite the situation, the girl's panic seems to immediately evaporate when you give her a friendly come-hither. Accepting your invitation without even a moment's hesitation, [If (the champ is close to or below Mina's height) {the girl happily skips towards you, draping her arms around your body and pulling you into a sloppy, wet kiss|the girl leaps up directly into your [arms] and wraps her arms around your back and her legs around your [hips]}]!

"Thanks! I'm Mina, by the way~" the girl informs you with a slowly-growing grin as she plunges her lips directly onto yours with all the force that a vampire might bite your neck, your tongue soon assaulted by the Mina's own and your body beginning to feel strangely... heavy?

It's an incredibly unusual sensation, like a low rumbling all throughout your form that coalesces into waves of pressure rolling through your flesh, a certain "essence" of yours travelling towards your head where they gather into your lips and summarily depart from you entirely. If there was any doubt about what Mina was doing to you before, it's gone now, as each incredibly subtle wave of essence that rolls through your lips seems to generate a visible wave of pink energy that travels into Mina's body instead, the energy absorbing right into her!

She's draining you!

"Mnnn~! Mhm-hm-hmm~" Mina giggles as she kisses you, any second thoughts you might be having about the situation completely denied by the heaviness in your muscles making you feel physically docile and more than a bit numb. Even if you tried to push her off, your [arms] practically feel like they're encased in warm, squishy concrete.

Or, perhaps that's just her soft, bottom-heavy little body wrapped tightly around you that's making you feel that way. Whatever the case may be, though, the power being drained from you and being permanently reassigned to Mina's eternal custody soon builds to a head, the girl's entire body flush with goosebumps as she suddenly breaks the kiss and throws back her head!

"Mmmmmnnnnn~!!! Oooaaaahhh~... Much better~!"

Silly Mode Only:
Your eyebrows twist incredulously as you see literal, physical words manifest in the air over the head of your assailant, proudly declaring in bombastic, shining font on behalf of the girl they're attached to: "LEVEL UP!"
/Silly Mode Only

Instantly, little scratches you just barely now noticed marring Mina's body all begin to close up, and little tears in the cutie's clothes mend themselves inside of a few seconds flat. Even the sweat from her skin seems to evaporate as her body renews and re-invigorates itself, her body practically giving off an aura of empowerment that only fades after [if (minaButtExpansion AND minaBreastExpansion = false) {a few seconds of Mina's obvious pleasure}] [If (minaBreastExpansion OR minaButtExpansion = true) {you feel}] [If (minaBreastExpansion = true) {Mina's B-cups puff outwards against you into sumptuous C-cups}] [If (minaBreastExpansion AND minaButtExpansion = true) {and}] [If (minaButtExpansion = true) {the back of her skirt tents backwards even further as her big buttcheeks expand a little bigger}]!

In spite of the implications of the existence of a being like this, you really can't deny [If (Champ is female/male/neuter) {the dampening of your underwear/the stiffening of your cock/the tingling of your loins}] at the sight of that, and your arousal only grows stronger as Mina practically jumps back off of you and turns around, her tight, pink panties wrapped around one of the most delicious bubble butts you've ever seen displayed in a delightful sneak peek as, all while the portion of your vision that was blocked by Mina's head soon reveals that dastardly pack of imps!

"Ready for round two, little losers?"

As you feel life returning to your limbs and your body shedding its post-weakening numbness, you see the suddenly-stronger Mina hold up her staff towards the imps and start blasting away, those once-dinky little orbs of sparkly light packing considerably more "persuasion" per pulse, each one erupting from the halo atop her staff with a screaming vengeance that seems to sear the air in its wake. The sound alone is enough to give the imps pause as they're stopped a mere couple seconds away from reaching the two of you, the first victim of the dolled-up little lady's amped-up attacks absorbing the full brunt of it and getting flung back into a tree, where there is the distinct sound of bones cracking from the impact, accompanied by lifeless flesh slumping to the forest floor.

[i:POP!] While the pack of imps turn their heads to witness the first death of the bunch, another one gets their neck snapped from the whiplash of another staff-blast hitting him directly in the head!

"Hahaha. What's wrong? Did the cute little girl [i:power up] too much for you to haaaan-dllle~?"

[i:Pop-POP!] Another imp is unceremoniously executed by two blasts to the torso, and the remaining demons realize that no matter how ridiculous it seems, the girl they were chasing just moments ago is no longer something to run towards.

[i:POP!] She's very much something to run away from! As another imp falls, the rest of them begin to fly away as best they can, while the girl blasting away at them just lets out a bratty, half-laughing, "what's wrong!? Come back! Come on, everybody; let's be friends~!" Frankly, if it didn't have a twinge of horror to it, it would almost be kind of comical. That said, it's not like the imps that clearly intended to rape her don't deserve it, too, so you can't really blame the desire for revenge on her part as you at least get to witness that "sliver of power" you donated to Mina being put to good use. One final blast from Mina's staff erupts off into the shrubbery like a racehorse, and you're fairly certain you hear the sound of one more imp biting the dust, but you can be certain that the imps here aren't going to be bothering this girl anymore.

Then she turns to you with a bratty smirk on her face, stowing away her staff.

"Thanks for the power-up, [mister]! Like I said before, my name's Mina! Don't forget it, because in a few months' time that's gonna be the name of the magical girl ruling this land and turning it into a cutie-topia!" she gloats, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, before leaning forward and letting her boobs gently cleave together, continuing with a slightly less naive-sounding, "well, I'd make fun of you a bit more, but you managed to shake me off the first time... so even I'd feel bad making fun of you for that. Still, that's your one freebie! The next time I see you, I'm gonna take even more, 'kay~?"

You're a bit stunned by the girl's lack of unqualified gratitude, but Mina just raises her fist up to her mouth and giggles into it, "Fufufu~... Awwww, c'mon! You did one nice thing for me, and I admit it! But that doesn't make us friends... it makes you... someone I'll make sure gets a nice, comfy house full of cute girls in a nice neighborhood once I take over all of Mareth and give it a total makeover!"

Not the worst fate you could imagine, but could she, perhaps, accomplish that without robbing you of the power you've accumulated over your journey?

"Nuh-uh! Power's like a badge of honor that you get for working hard, so if someone steals it from you, then that means it's going to someone who deserves it more! Soooo..." Mina gently half-closes her eyes, leans further forwards, and smugly points her index finger at her cheek before gently teasing, "if you end up losing to me when I challenge you to a fight, then that's totally on you! Don't wanna get drained by me? Then either stay away from the Forest..."

Mina's smile grows wider as she sticks her tongue out for a second and puts her hands on her hips.

"...Or just don't instantly lose to me like a pathetic, perverted loser who wants [his] face to be a chair for my big, bouncy bubble butt~! Hehe... not that [i:I'd] mind that~"

Mina then turns around, looks back over her shoulder, and smiles with the barest hint of affection and gratitude, so small you half-swear you imagined it, the appreciation buried beneath all that brattiness. Perhaps as one final show of thanks, she lifts up her skirt with one hand and gently spanks her butt at you with another, giggling like she just did something naughty and got away with it before she leaves you behind to head deeper into the forest, your body no worse for wear other than a paltry bit of missing power.

Half-frustrated, yet half-amused, you head back to camp.

>Fight Imps (Choice 4.1 branch)
You might not trust this girl, but you're not about to leave her to the imps, either. You shake your head and say that you're more than capable of dealing with this horde of demons and that she should find some place to hide--a suggestion that immediately causes her to scrunch up her face and shake her head!

"There's no way I'm running away from a fight!"

Well, there's no time to argue! The demons are here!

(Fight against a group of 6 basic imps. Mina's only action is to fire a generic magic attack from a safe distance every turn, since that's all she can do right now.)

>Defeat
You collapse to the ground, defeated, and you see the group of imps that overcame your strength turn their attention away from you to chase after their original target, now even more tired from firing so many blasts in service of defeating the demons. Before unconsciousness takes your mind, you pray very briefly for the girl's safety, but as your eyes close, you think you hear a terrified scream echo in your ears. You don't know what's going to happen to that girl, but it's safe to say that you'll probably never see her again.

(Generic "you wake up 4 hours later and lose some gems" message, idk how to format that specifically)

>Victory
(TBW or not, depending on thread feedback. It would be a whole alterate route, which I'm not sure I want to write. I might have to, though, if it's really necessary for player choice.)

>Revenge (Choice 4.1 branch)
This has gone more than far enough, and you certainly don't trust this girl who just tried to attack you to be anything other than a problem. Her panic quickly turns into despair, the timbre of her voice wavering erratically as you look at her with obvious intent.

"W-wait! Please stop! I'm sorry!" the girl screams out, but it's much too late for that.

[If (Champ is at high corruption) {You smile wickedly as the girl's blood runs so cold that her face instantly turns pale/You sternly shake your head, intent on letting her taste the fruits of her labor at the hands of these imps}]. Raising your [weapon], you strike the girl right on the temple and send her tumbling to the ground with an unceremonious [i:THUD], her staff skittering down onto the dirt, where the halo atop it dims and turns an inky black. You pick it up as your prize, just as the imps arrive and slow to a holding pattern.

Normally, you would be more than willing to kill these six imps, but right now, they seem to come to a silent understanding with you. After all, you did just subdue the target of their hunt for them, and they can ensure you'll never have to deal with this girl ever again. It's a strange feeling, coming to even a momentary understanding with demons, but the feeling wells up inside you all the same. Upon seeing you're not going to attack them, the demons each don a vile smirk. Four of the imps grab hold of the girl's limbs, robbed of her means to defend herself, and they hoist her up into the air...

[i:THUD]

...before they crash back down to the forest floor, not quite able to carry the weight of the unconscious girl and her hefty bottom. The fifth and sixth demons then circle around to help their infernal brethren out, pitching in to assist with carrying the girl up into the air, where they slowly begin to ferry her off into the forest, only one of them bothering to toss a sarcastic "thanks" your way from over his shoulder.

You get the feeling you won't be seeing that girl ever again as you turn around and head back to camp.

>Champ fails to Resist/Lets it Happen (Choice 4 branch)
[If (Champ fails to resist) {It all happens so fast that, even though this girl atop you is much weaker than you, the element of surprise lets her get one over on you.}] Much like you didn't expect this wild little lady bowling you over, neither do you suspect her face rolling a couple degrees clockwise and her plump, glossy, sparkly lips pressing directly into your own, a nearly-electric feeling numbing your body as you feel her begin to suck on your tongue, sealing your lips together more and more by the second. You begin to move your arms to try and tear this girl off, but almost as soon as you do, you feel like they've fallen asleep -- like they're encased in stone that squeezes the life out of them! Yet, the girl atop you doesn't seem concerned, and if anything, it seems more like the corners of her mouth are curling up in delight, a faint, little, girly moan reverberating through only the air shared between your lips. She's getting a kick out of this!

You suddenly feel gentle waves of... something traveling up your body, from your extremities towards the direction of your head. It doesn't seem to emanate from any set of points in particular, but rather each pulse seems to form naturally as a consequence of whatever energy composes it bunching up as it travels through your flesh, leaving your muscles feeling strangely tired in their collective wake.

"Mmmmmm~ Mm-mm-mm~"

No, those muscles don't just feel tired -- they feel weaker! It hits you as soon as those waves gather into your lips and start visibly pumping their way into the girl kissing you, subtle pulses of pink light rippling into her body and falling directly into HER custody instead of yours as she steals some of your accumulated power! Suddenly-tired limbs be damned, you think you can power through the feeling and shake her off, so you try to do exactly that, slowly raising your limbs and rolling your hips to build up momentum!

However, the girl manages to keep hold of you for just a scant few more seconds, and that's all the time she needs before she pulls herself away of her own volition, throwing her head back and lewdly moaning into the cool forest air, her whole body glowing a powerful, pulsing pink as she seems to power up right before your eyes!

"Mmmmmnnnnn~!!! Oooaaaahhh~... too laaaate~..."

Instantly, little scratches you just barely now noticed marring her body all begin to close up, and little tears in the cutie's clothes mend themselves inside of a few seconds flat. Even the sweat from her skin seems to evaporate as her body renews and re-invigorates itself, her body practically giving off an aura of empowerment that only fades after [if (minaButtExpansion AND minaBreastExpansion = false) {a few seconds of Mina's obvious pleasure}] [If (minaBreastExpansion OR minaButtExpansion = true) {you feel}] [If (minaBreastExpansion = true) {Mina's B-cups puff outwards against you into sumptuous C-cups}] [If (minaBreastExpansion AND minaButtExpansion = true) {and}] [If (minaButtExpansion = True) {the pressure of her two fat buttcheeks pressing into your [tummy] grow even stronger}]!

Despite the danger such a being obviously presents, you really can't deny [If (Champ is female/male/neuter) {the dampening of your underwear/the stiffening of your cock/the tingling of your loins}] at the sight of that, and your arousal only grows stronger as the girl lifts her body up off of you and turns around, her tight, pink panties wrapped around one of the most delicious bubble butts you've ever seen just positively looming up above your face, all while the portion of your vision that was blocked by the girl's own body soon reveals that dastardly pack of imps!

"That goes for you little gremlins, too~"

As you start to scramble backwards to catch your bearings, your limbs feeling like they are alive once again, you see the suddenly-stronger girl hold up her staff towards the imps and start blasting away, those once-dinky little orbs of sparkly light packing considerably more "persuasion" per pulse, each one erupting from the halo atop her staff with a screaming vengeance that seems to sear the air in its wake. The sound alone is enough to give the imps pause as they're stopped a mere couple seconds away from reaching the two of you, the first victim of the dolled-up little lady's amped-up attacks absorbing the full brunt of it and getting flung back into a tree, where there is the distinct sound of bones cracking from the impact, accompanied by lifeless flesh slumping to the forest floor.

"Hahaha. What's wrong? Did the cute little girl [i:power up] too much for you to haaaan-dllle~?"

[i:POP!] She's very much something to run away from! As another imp falls, the rest of them begin to fly away as best they can, while the girl blasting away at them just lets out a bratty, half-laughing, "what's wrong!? Come back! Come on, everybody; let's be friends~!" Frankly, if it didn't have a twinge of horror to it, it would almost be kind of comical. That said, it's not like the imps that clearly intended to rape her don't deserve it, too, so you can't really blame the desire for revenge on her part as you slowly get up on your knees. One final blast from the girl's staff erupts off into the shrubbery like a racehorse, and you're fairly certain you hear the sound of one more imp biting the dust, but you can be certain that the imps here aren't going to be bothering this girl anymore.

Then she turns to you with a bratty smirk on her face, stowing away her staff.

"Thanks for the power-up, [mister]! My name's Mina. Don't forget it, because in a few months' time that's gonna be the name of the magical girl ruling this land and turning it into a cutie-topia!" she gloats, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, before leaning forward and letting her boobs gently cleave together, continuing in the face of your still-gobsmacked expression with, "Now, I'm sure you're just soooo mad at me and all for permanently taking a little sliver of your power away for myself, but really -- I'm grateful! In fact, I'm just so grateful for your noble and humble sacrifice of aaaaaall that experience you worked soooo hard for in my time of need that I'll even let you go without draining any more of your power!"

You're so stunned that you don't even know what to say first, but if this brat thinks she can pull something like that again, she's got another thing coming. In fact, you move to tell her as much, but Mina backs away with a hop, skip, and a smile!

"Nuh-uh! Don't even think about talking back! It's all fair game out here, so if YOU get bowled over by a cute girl, get sat on, and let her steal your powers for herself, that's totally on you! Don't wanna get drained by me? Then either stay away from the Forest..."

Mina's smile grows wider as she sticks her tongue out for a second and puts her hands on her hips.

"...Or just don't instantly lose to me like a pathetic, perverted loser who wants [his] face to be a chair for my big, bouncy bubble butt~!"

Mina then turns around, looks back over her shoulder, 'bleeeehhhhh!'s most cutely at you, and leaves you behind to head deeper into the forest, your body finally returning to its feet, now 100 XP poorer and with naught but the sound of the wind and the birds to keep you company.

Slightly frustrated, you head back to camp.
