Chapter 71: Paragon
The sound of clicking filled the small lit bedroom. A pair of earbuds dangled loosely from Adam’s ears, his eyes glued to the laptop screen, illuminated by the soft blue glow of the game interface. It was late, no, early, but time had long since become meaningless.
He couldn’t stop playing.
Ascension.
A game he’d downloaded on a whim because of the Harem and R18 tag, and like any curious, lonely guy with too much time and a strong internet connection. But what he hadn’t expected was to stay... not for the porn itself, but for the story, all he was expecting to beat his meat to the porn, which he did, but... soon the porn felt meaningless at this given how good the story of Ascension truly was.
Ascension was, at its core, a cosmic horror plus high-fantasy visual novel about evolution, transformation, and the chaotic beauty of what it meant to stop being human. In the game, humans could become something called Metahumans, hybrid beings infected with supernatural DNA.
Each Metahuman bore traits of the monster they were derived from, becoming a twisted version of their Monster parent species, but with the capacity to grow far beyond them as a result of the human endless potential for evolution, and possible paths they as a species can ultimately become as a product of natrual selection.
Adam had played a dozen other H-games before, but Ascension? It was different, it was the type of game that hit just as Hard as HDXD. It was not just merely enjoyable; it was the type of game that could change your life, change your perspective on things. It was...an experience; that was the best way to describe it.
An experience that was.
Deeper...
Richer...
And hits you right in the feel...
