A digital message flashes above the elevator door.
1ST FLOOR. RAVENWOOD ACADEMY.
The elevator shaft halts its ascent as I hear mechanical wheels rotate and lock. I let out a loud sigh of excitement. I purposely did not watch any reviews or research any tips. I want the satisfaction of defeating all twelve floors of this virtual reality game.
Here we go.
The polished steel doors of the elevator depart, revealing a quiet hallway of what appears to be a school. The corridor has an arched ceiling which is outlined by darkwood with cream colored walls. There are trophies encased in glass shelves and portraits of what seem to be headmasters outlined with golden frames. A banner that read, “Go Ravens!” hangs loosely at the end of the hall.
This must be a private high school. A very wealthy one.
I step out of the elevator and hear the click-clack of stilettos. Looking down at myself, I watch in awe as the clothes I am wearing pixelate into a uniform. Black stilettos, thigh-high stockings, a navy mini skirt, and a white button-up. I glide my hands over the curves of my new busty physique and a warm sensation rises within me as the softness of the fabric brushes against my nipples.
The game developers must enjoy schoolgirl-themed hentai.
I roll my eyes at the thought. Who am I to judge? I made sure my starting character had voluptuous breasts and a perky rump. I had rolled shit on my stats, but I don’t know how much that matters since I couldn’t access them. I didn’t find a Menu or Settings selection in this VR game.
A bell pings in the distance as doors swing open. Students flood the hallway, chatting, laughing, and carrying on. There are multiple NPCs - jocks, cheerleaders, geeks, intro- and extroverts - all mixed together with their pristine uniforms. It must’ve been the last bell of the day as no one seems in a rush to be somewhere.
It doesn’t look like there are teachers here, that’s strange...
I gasp in surprise as a blunt force knocks me to my hands and knees from behind. [HP:3]
3 HP? So my health is higher than 3. How much damage did that hit do or am I just a very low level?
“Steve! Watch where you’re going!” I hear a girl shout. I struggle to regain my footing in my heels, much like a newborn fawn. “I’m sorry Evie,” says a deep masculine voice.
Evie. Okay, clever way for the game to tell me my name.
Two hands firmly grip my slender waist and I feel my abs tighten at the unexpected touch. As I turn to look, I see a tall muscular jock wearing a rugby jacket over his uniform who’s yanking me to my feet with ease. This must be Steve.
Alright, Evie. Time to roleplay your part and get some answers on how this game works.
“It’s okay, you hit like a bitch,” I say jokingly and turn to view the group. There’s two girls beside him with skirts as short as mine, but their shirts are half-tucked in with their cleavage showing. One has emerald eyes and yellow curls that stop by her shoulders, the other has auburn eyes and black hair that flows down her back.
This must be the cool crowd.
Steve’s brown eyes settle on me, expressionless. He’s handsome with a sharp jawline and a crewcut. He pauses before responding, as if his comeback to my comment is loading.
Do they have dialogue trees? Nice! This VR game has roleplay elements.
“You’re so witty, Evie. Are you still coming to practice later?” A dark glint flashes in his eyes as he smiles widely at me. Perfect teeth.
“Uhm. Yes! Is that where I’m going to learn the ropes?”
That must be the tutorial. Brilliant.
The girl with green eyes cheerfully pipes up, “Evie, don’t forget to get your cell phone from Professor Magnus’ class or you won’t get it back until after the weekend!” She lets out a giggle and shifts her weight to one leg - I notice her breasts bounce ever so subtly in her blouse. The other girl points up the hallway to the last room on the right, “I think you can catch the Professor before he leaves, he has extended hours on Friday. We’ll see you later!”
As I look back from where she was pointing, I notice that all three of them begin walking away in separate directions. There's no need to follow them, obviously the tutorial begins in that room.
Walking down the hallway, I hug the wall as I familiarize myself with the height of my shoes. It’s been a while since I’ve worn them, and I really like how they make my calves look.
By the time I make it to the right door, the hallway has quieted down as the crowd empties out. Only a few students are left.
The wooden door is windowless and labeled with a golden plate.
ROOM 101. PROFESSOR MAGNUS.
The door is heavy so I have to use what body weight this character has as leverage. I turn the knob and lunge into it, swinging it open as I manage to catch myself and avoid another fall. I only have 3 HP, and I don’t want to die on level 1.
A young professor, maybe in his thirties to late forties is sitting at his desk with his back facing a row of windows. He has red curly short hair and his toned muscles cleanly line his dress shirt. My abrupt entrance catches the Professor’s attention, and I see his piercing blue gaze rise from papers he’s flipping through to meet mine. “Ah, Miss Croft. To what do I owe the pleasure?” The last word drips off his sultry voice.
“I.. I’m here to get my-”
“Your exam. Yes, come in and have a seat.” He motions to a chair beside his desk. I am confused by this, as I thought the one girl had mentioned I needed to retrieve a cell phone, not an exam. “Preferably with haste, Miss Croft. I have papers to grade. Places to be,” he says with slight annoyance.
“Yes, I apologize.” I’ll ask about the phone later. Need to get in the room first.
I slowly make my way to sit where he gestured, the heavy door closing behind me. As I seat myself, the coldness of the chair’s steel sends shivers from my thighs up to my bare rear; am I wearing a thong?
This game seems very sexual.
Professor Magnus’ eyes flicker over my body and I hear him scoff under his breath. “Your uniform is a disgrace, Miss Croft. I should write you up for its mere condition.” I blush in embarrassment, tugging at the edges of the skirt to cover more of my lap. “However, there are other ways to punish you.” He shuffles through the stack of papers on his desk, no doubt searching for mine.
I shoot him a glare. Even though I am not this “Evie,” I am offended by his words.
In the corner of my eyes, I catch a glimpse of a cell phone at the corner of his desk. It’s just out of reach.
That must be the quest item! I’ll just grab it and skip any dialogue left in the encounter.
I jump from my seat towards the edge of the desk, grabbing the phone.
ITEM EQUIPPED: CELL PHONE.
Suddenly there’s a tight grip on my forearms as I am jerked onto my back against the desk. [HP:2] “Do you spoiled brats really think there are no consequences for your actions?” he growls, pinning my arms above my head.
“I’m sorry Professor Magnus I-” Goosebumps raise over my skin as I’m trapped by him.
Holy shit this is some sophisticated AI in this game.
ITEM UNEQUIPPED: CELL PHONE.
I can feel the heat emanating from his front as he leans down, hovering until our faces are an inch apart. “Silence. You want your precious phone? You will be quiet. One word and I will not be forgiving. Nod if you understand.” I press my thighs together as I feel slightly aroused by the situation and attempt to suppress it.
I don’t know what will happen when my HP runs out and I need that phone to progress.
I nod.
“Hmm... Good girl.” A demonic smirk dances on a corner of his lips. He glides his hands up my forearms to my wrists, placing them against each other so he can hold them with one hand. He begins to unknot his necktie. I furrow my brow, puzzled at what he is doing.
You can’t do sexual things in this game, can you? I should’ve taken the time to read a review.
“Prof-”
I gasp as he immediately clenches my throat tightly. I push my wrists against the hand trapping them as he squeezes harder.
A hologram flashes in the air before me.
DO YOU RESIST? YES. NO. [STR: 1] [HP: 2]
I mouth the word, ‘Yes.’
PROFESSOR MAGNUS. [STR: 3] [HP: 3]
YOU LOSE. [HP: 1]
A feeling of exhaustion washes over me. Without further interruption, the Professor undoes his necktie and moves my hands down and behind my back. He lightly presses his front against mine as he quickly binds my wrists behind me. My nipples harden as I can feel the muscles of his chest through his shirt.
He leans back to admire his work and I can see the smug look he has on his face.
I whimper quietly, tugging at the bind. What happens when I run out of HP?
Then I feel a knee push between my slender legs, knocking them apart as he forces himself between them. His large hands graze over my thighs and hold them gently. Slowly, he slides me down the desk until I am straddling his hips. He shifts his weight and I can feel his erection rub teasingly against my soft entrance.
I let out a very muffled whine as I try to inch myself up the desk, but his tense grip denies any give.
“If I don’t teach you consequences, how will that look for the Academy? Hmm...” He ponders out loud, knowing I won’t say another word at this point.
His right hand travels up my side, barely touching the fabric of my blouse as it makes its way to my upper body. I inhale sharply as the pads of his fingertips freely roam around my breasts. His digits pay extra attention to my nipples, giving them a light pinch and tug until he can see them pronounced in my shirt. I squirm beneath him, biting my lower lip as I expel an involuntary moan. [STA:4]
Oh no. Stamina? What is that-
I watch his other hand disappear underneath my skirt. The Professor leans his muscular body over until his face is barely touching mine, blocking my view. He presses his thumb firmly against my clit and the wetness forming beneath my thong eagerly greets his finger. I gasp weakly in response, unsure if it’s from embarrassment or arousal.
“Very responsive, Miss Croft,” he whispers, moving his hips forward so his bulge is gently rocking between my soft lips. I feel the fabric of my thong dampen against his erection as my body invites him without asking my mind for its opinion. “You misbehave so often and act so tough in class. I didn’t take you to be this sensitive.” His thumb begins soft rotations on my clit. I hold my breath, fighting back another moan.
The Professor’s facial expression changes to surprise as he notices how slick I’ve become from his motions. “Well now...” He hooks my thong to the side and exposes my dripping pussy to the cool air, sending a chill down my back.
