A HORRIBLE CURSE
You're shitposting on your favourite Indonesian Bat Detecting forum when, with a flash, a strange girl appears before you. "Oh no", you think, "not another one". Why do these magical assholes keep breaking into your house, and during peak shitposting hours no less?! Before she can even introduce herself you hold a hand to her face and explain you're not interested in whatever wish, deal or trade she's coming to you with. You're quite happy as you are if their promised "new life" ends up with you brainwashed beyond all recognition and can do without the immortality if it's to be spent locked away in a hellish bondage prison, thank you very much. One of them even offered eternity as an obedient maid, of all things! Insanity, although she never did get back to you with the details.... Regardless, you've turned away enough of her pals, you'd think they'd get the message already! "Foolish mortal!" squeaks the small girl before you, "I am not so easily banished as my brethren!" The sky seems to darken and her words are accompanied by a rumble of thunder, but her trembling voice and awkward pose (is she trying to look intimidating?) don't exactly add up to a terrifying presence. "You should have accepted your fate while you had the chance! This world will abide your presence no longer! My comrades may have failed to eliminate you, but they are bound by their contracts! If you do not accept the terms, they are forbidden to interfere, but I have no such limitations! The universe demands your destruction, and I am its executioner!" "I have designed your new destiny personally. Feel free to struggle and fight all you like, your fate is already sealed! A new form. A new life. A trial worse than anything you can imagine. Your doom is at hand, and that doom is yuri!
YOUR HORRIFIC FLESH PRISON
"Your body is but clay in my hands! How does it feel, knowing I'll soon reshape you into the cursed form in which you'll spend the rest of your miserable days? Why, what form, you ask? A cute, teenage girl, of course! We'll make you so awfully adorable, so heinously huggable that girls will be falling over themselves to be with you! A body built for yuri, ensuring no escape from a joyous life of heart pounding romance and sapphic adventures! A fitting punishment for a fiend such as you!" You're about to ask why she's appearing to you as a teenage girl if the form is so abhorrent to her, but she strikes another overly dramatic pose and continues. "I have prepared a selection of forms for you to choose from, but understand, this is no mercy! Each is as healthy and attractive as the last! Forcing you to select the nature of your doom simply amuses me! Pick whichever you desire! But that's not all, the form is but a baseline, the specifics such as hair colour and race are for you to come up with! You'll be complicit in your own destruction, a-ha-ha-ha!" She thrusts a finger in your face and continues her bizarre laugh as you stare at her. As the odd sound trails off into silence she begins to fidget awkwardly, apparently unsure whether to continue holding the pose or not. As much to break the tension of her increasingly uncomfortable, unbroken eye contact as anything else, you make your choice...
1. Adorably Tiny
A small frame, diminutive height and notable lack of assets make this body appear younger than it truly is, but more importantly make it extremely adorable. You'll seem so helpless and vulnerable, girls will be fighting for the opportunity to help you reach that top shelf or to protect you from dangers real and imagined. A lifetime of headpats and princess carries awaits!
2. Stunningly Regal
Long legs, a refined posture and a gorgeous face give this body an air of refinement and class. You'll be no blushing princess, but a dignified, sophisticated queen. Will you fall for one of the many eager subjects keen to bend to your will and make you happy in any way they can? Or will it be a bold, adventurous rogue who breaks through your cold exterior and lights the fire within?
3. Gloriously Endowed
This is not the form of some silly little girl, this is the body of a woman! Big, perky and perfectly formed breasts are balanced by a sublimely slim waist and bouncy, heart shaped butt. With a stunning face befitting of such a perfect figure, you could easily make it as a model. Can you imagine, being the subject of so many girls' secret fantasies, knowing all those hearts are beating faster just for you?
4. Handsomly Boyish
Even your former masculinity shall be turned against you! A strong, sculpted face, not so much androgynous as pleasantly boyish, with a slim, athletic body to match. The perfect body to confuse even those poor, misguided girls who still believe they're meant to kiss boys. With them in the mix too, you'll have no end of eager suitors desperate to throw themselves into your arms!
5. Pleasingly Thick
By no means fat, but certainly carrying more weight than the average girl, this form wears it well and has a unique charm all of its own. Did you plan to avoid your fate by choosing a body that clashes with traditional beauty standards? You fool, you've only made yourself all the more appealing to a devoted niche of ladies who will fight all the harder to win your extra-huggable heart!
6. Disarmingly Pretty
Big doe eyes, a slender body and lips who's quivering pout has everyone who looks on them falling over themselves to cheer you up. This body is traditionally feminine, extra girly and about all else, super, super cute! A-ha-ha-ha! Not even trying to fight your fate, are you? Good! Accept your future holds nothing but cute girls and blissful romance, and sink into everlasting despair!
7. Tantalisingly Normal
A form without any notable features may have seemed like a safe pick, but you've fallen into my trap! Your new body might not be the cutest or the bustiest but it's still really pretty, and worse still, super attainable! Everyone feels comfortable around you, and once they grow close to you they'll fall for you all the harder! You're the perfect girl next door, with a wholesome, almost indefinable beauty of your own!
8. Alluringly Mysterious
What are you, a masochist? All these horrible forms on offer and you want more? Well, who am I to stop you! Go ahead, pick any two options and mix and match their traits to your heart's content! The tomboy next door, the stately class president who's a total cutie underneath, or the formerly flat athlete dealing with her recent visit from the boob fairy! Whatever miserable fate you desire, I shall grant!
YOUR TERRIFYING PURSUER
"Yes, yes, that will do nicely! But condemning you to this pitiably desirable form is only the first stage of your punishment. I will not leave your condemnation to a lifetime of perfect yuri romance to the whims of fate. While many girls may want you, only one is destined to have you. A being molded not only by all of my malice and the endless depths of my desire to see you suffer, but by your own treacherous thoughts!" "I have prepared another decision for you to make. A list of archetypes to choose from, which unless otherwise noted, will be classmates in your new high school. Each provides only the foundation, your own mind will twist her into the interpretation of that archetype you're most inclined to fall in love with. Naturally, she'll also be fated to fall in love with you too! Once you're together and your first kiss seals your fate, nothing will tear you apart. You'll be so ideal for each other, so perfectly besotted, that you won't even try to fight it! A-ha-ha-ha!" "Resist her all you want, your own heart has already betrayed you! She will find you, you will love her, and you'll be together, forever!" As she once again grows uncomfortable at the silence that follows her spiel, which you're increasingly certain she's practiced and rote-learned in advance, you select one of the archetypes she's offered to you...
1. The Athlete
While her toned, athletic body never fails to turn heads, especially when glistening with sweat after leading your school to victory in yet another competition, the athlete never had much time for romance before she met you. She might be a little blunt or awkward in matters of love, favouring honesty and a somewhat clumsy directness over grand romantic gestures, but the same passion and dedication that got her to the top of her game is now focused directly on winning your heart.
2. The Delinquent
A petty criminal and constant thorn in the side of authorities in and out of school, the delinquent has a bit of a reputation. While not entirely unearned, she's motivated more by contempt for the regimented conformity of high school life than by genuine malice. The exaggerated tales of her past crimes ensure few would dare to mess with her. Will you be the one to break through her prickly exterior to comfort the lonely girl within, or will you become the partner in crime she longs for?
3. The Council Member
A studious and serious member of the student council and the odds-on favourite to become its next president, the council member is respected by students and teachers alike. Considered a stick in the mud by some for her by the book attitude, she refuses to settle for mediocrity and strives to be the best she can be in all she does, which now includes wooing you. With her by your side, guiding and supporting you, you'll be sure to achieve all of your dreams too.
4. The Bully
As cunning as she is smug, the bully delights in tormenting you, and whether you're cringing away from her cutting insults, physical harassment or coy teasing, she just can't get enough of the way she makes you squirm. Not truly malicious but rather delighting in the power she holds over you, she always knows when to stop before going too far, and more importantly, when to shock your confused little mind with a burst of genuine love and affection instead.
5. The Imouto
Since you were both very young your precious little sister has always said that some day she'd marry you. You thought she'd grow out of it but if anything the older she gets, the more determined she is to make you see things her way. Cute, and able to act far more innocent than you suspect she truly is, she has zero sense of boundaries and if her earnest declarations of love and heart-piercing pout don't win you over, she's more than willing to crawl into your bed every night until you see the light.
6. The Onee-san
Don't think all this attention you're getting from the ladies has gone unnoticed. Your big sister caught on even before you did. Protective and enjoying the control over you her role as elder sibling gives her just a little too much, she's determined to keep her innocent imouto safe. She's definitely not motivated by the desire to keep you all to herself, this is for your own good! Besides, if you're ready to start doing that with other girls, who better to teach you than someone who's known you your whole life?
7. The Childhood Friend
With her sharing all of you interests and with a personality that so perfectly compliments your own, it was only natural you'd become best friends. You've always done everything together and now that you're both ready to start dating, she can't see any reason that shouldn't be something you explore as a pair too. Knowing you better than you know yourself, she's ready to weaponize years of shared memories to win you over and ensure you continue making new ones with her, and her alone.
8. The Babysitter
A full 10 years older than you are, your childhood babysitter was always something of a big sister to the kids in your neighbourhood. Her lack of romantic partners is starting to cause some mean whispers amongst your nosier neighbours, but she doesn't mind. She's always known there was only one girl for her. Keen to dote on you and a little patronising, her attempts at wooing often make you feel more like a beloved pet than an equal partner. She can't help it, she just loves looking after you!
9. The Tomboy
The tomboy's total lack of self-conciousness when it comes to friendly affection contrasts her endlessly flustered, deer in the headlights attempts to convert that into something more. More comfortable cracking dirty jokes, shooting the shit over a video game or hanging out in the woods than she is with this whole "feelings" thing, you'll never see someone turn red faster than when her play fighting ends up with the two of you pressed a little closer together than she anticipated.
10. The Girly Girl
A traditionally gorgeous fashionista with a bubbly, if maybe a little ditzy, disposition and a tendency to squeal over all things cute, her recent devotion to yuri, and more specifically to you, is the cause of much wailing and gnashing of teeth within your school's male student body. Dipping your toes into your newfound girlhood slowly is no longer an option. Expect a whirlwind of shopping trips, spa days, fancy makeovers and endless grand romantic gestures. You'll be the cutest couple the world has ever seen!
11. The Ladies' Woman
Leaving a trail of broken hearts behind her wherever she goes, the Ladies' Woman is nothing if not experienced. Suave, confident and able to woo even the supposedly straightest girls with little more than a smirk and a hot whisper in their ear, she was content to live the life of the dashing rogue. Then you came along. Feeling things she's never felt before, she's poised to point all that raw seductive charm, all those tricks she's learned to make confused little girls like you swoon, directly at your heart.
12. The Pervert
With a head swimming with lewd desires and a body prone to bouts of spontaneous heavy breathing when the fantasies all become a little too much for her to contain, this dishevelled degenerate has found all her perverted daydreams are so much more appealing when you're at the centre of them. While she may lack for practical experience, her breathless enthusiasm and countless hours spent planning just what she's going to do to you should more than make up for it.
13. The Shy Girl
Quiet and more inclined to slinking away to bury herself in a good book than to making friends, you'd probably never even notice the shy girl, but rest assured, she has noticed you. Fighting a constant battle between her social anxiety and newfound love for you, her awkward attempts at conversation and flustered, almost manic confessions require her to fight every instinct she has and leave her blushing from head to toe. Her brain may short circuit if you return her affection, so please be gentle.
14. The Queen Bee
Rich, beautiful, smart and overflowing with confidence, the Queen Bee is the top of every social hierarchy she deigns to participate in. She has turned smug condescension into a fine art, and is never without a particularly cutting remark for those she feels have wronged her. She is used to always getting what she wants, and what she wants most of all now is you. Do not expect to be an equal partner, you're just one more shiny prize for her collection, but she takes very good care of her favourite toys.
15. The Yandere
The Yandere possesses true clarity of purpose. You will be hers the "how" doesn't really matter. If bugging your home and tracking your movements to learn all there is to know about you so as to better become your dream girl doesn't work, there's always the "direct" approach. Paranoid and clingy in the extreme, she'll sabotage any relationship, personal or professional, if she perceives it as a threat. Best to play along. Do your best to be her good little girlfriend. The alternative would be... unpleasant.
16. The Pure Maiden
Innocent to a degree that shouldn't be possible in the modern world, the Maiden has recently awoken to feelings she doesn't fully understand. What she does understand is she wants to explore those feelings with you. Blushing at the thought of holding hands and almost fainting at the prospect of a kiss, she'll want to take things slowly. Even outside matters of love her naivety and tendency to think the best of everyone leave her open to being taken advantage of. Will you be her shining knight?
17. The Dreamer
The Dreamer is considered a bit of an odd ball. Constantly talking like you're a fantasy hero, a disguised alien or the last survivor of a burned out planet tends to do that, but she doesn't mind. She's not crazy, she knows this stuff isn't real, but why settle for reality when keeping your head in the clouds is so much more fun? Still, going on these adventures alone can be a little lonely, and it would mean the world to her to share them with you. She promises that, once you get used to the stares, you'll never want to go back to "reality" ever again!
18. The Loner
Solitary choice, the Loner oozes the sort of quiet charisma that only someone supremely comfortable in their own skin can attain. A social chameleon, at ease in any group, she nevertheless eschews close relationships in favour of pursuing her own interests. The fact that those interests are nigh universally "cool", be it her passion for motorcycles or virtuosic guitar skills, just stings her many admirers all the more. The jealous whispers directed at her when she finally shows up with you on her arm won't phase her, so don't let them phase you either, okay?
19. The Artist
Skilled with her hands, whatever the medium, the Artist can come across as a little pretentious but it's simply unbridled enthusiasm for her art and some slightly atrophied social skills that are to blame rather than true snobbery. Regularly skipping meals or losing sleep in pursuit of her passion, she's finally found in you the inspiration she's been seeking. With you playing the muse by her side (and gently reminding her that mainlining coffee to work on projects for 72 hours straight probably isn't the greatest idea) she's sure to achieve great things.
20. The Slacker
Far from lacking motivation, the Slacker is motivated very strongly to ensure she spends her life doing as little as possible. While not a shut in and more or less able to function in society, she has little desire to do anything but drift through life as comfy and relaxed as possible. Not much has changed since meeting you, she still wants to laze about watching anime, playing video games and sleeping in the middle of the day, she'd just quite like to cuddle with you while doing it.
YOUR UNBEARABLE CURSES
"Yes, ha ha ha, yes! She's perfect! Your doom draws ever closer!" She stares off into the middle distance for a very long time, whether lost in thought imagining the girl you've chosen or actually viewing her through some form of magic you're not sure. Minutes pass before, with an odd mix between a yelp and a squeak, she makes eye contact with you once again. "You're still here?! |- I was... just letting you soak in the despair of what is to come! I definitely didn't forget I still had half of this curse to finish laying upon you!" "Although your chosen partner is more than capable of winning your helpless, eager heart on her own, your punishment must be nothing if not severe! To further condemn you I have a collected a host of additional curses, each designed to ensure you never escape this fate! Select at least 8 of them! I wouldn't want your pathetic struggle to end too quickly though, so take no more than 12!" Relieved but not unsurprised to find these "curses" are just as mild as the rest of her "terrifying" offerings, you make your next choice...
1. Beauty
The body we've built for you is already cute, but with this curse, you'll be downright stunning! A true 10/10! You'll turn heads wherever you go, and there's nothing you can do about it! Girls will be bending over backwards to do anything you desire, just for the chance to be blessed with a glance at your precious smile! Try and fight it all you like! Even if you don't take care of your appearance, ignore any form of fashion or beauty routine, your natural radiance will shine through!
2. Pleasure
A body built not just to condemn you to this inescapable fate, but to addict you to it, so much so you'll throw yourself into it willingly! Everything about this body feels incredible. Your skin is soft and sensitive, just running your hands over it provides a pleasant tingle, and the pleasure even a cursory stroke of your more intimate areas brings makes you shiver. If you think it feels good now, just wait until it's another girl's fingers trailing slowly up you thigh. You'll be totally at the mercy of your new form!
3. Wealth
The new life you're destined for is one of wealth and security. You'll not be a millionaire, but you'll never have to never fret about bills or forgo a few luxuries for want of cash. Imagine it! No long hours slaving away to make ends meet to come between you, no arguments or stress over how you're going to keep a roof over your heads! You'll want for nothing! All the time in the world to spend with each other, and all the money you need to do whatever your hearts desire!
4. Health
We can't have your punishment end too swiftly, can we? This curse ensures a long, healthy life for both you and your partner. What's more, you'll never experience even minor illnesses, and any allergies or other conditions you live with are cleared up too. Even injuries tend to be less severe than you'd expect and heal up with no lasting harm. No sick days to keep you apart, no holding back from that kiss for fear of passing on that sniffle to the woman you love. I almost pity you!
5. Pure
Don't think your years of degeneracy will have prepared you for the terrors that await you. All that jaded resistance will be stripped away from you, making holding hands or sharing a first chaste kiss more exciting than the most extreme fetish material you've ever indulged in! I suppose I can show some mercy. You can decide whether you actually lose your knowledge of all but the tamest sexual acts, or if you simply gain a new perspective and learn to appreciate the simple things once more.
6. Athletic
Your new body will be a physical paragon, either honed to perfection to excel in a sport of your choosing, or a more general, robust and healthy form if you prefer. What's more, you'll find you move with a skill and precision that usually takes years to acquire. A mind completely in tune with the flesh it inhabits. Even if you're able to resist the temptation to lead your school to victory in the field of your choosing, your natural, unshakeable grace and the confidence that radiates from your every movement will win you many female admirers all the same!
7. Supporters
I will not be the only one determined to force you into this cursed existence. Everyone around you shall betray you, friends and family alike all overjoyed that you've found someone so perfect for you and supportive in the extreme. Expect constant comments about how cute you'd be together to be tricked into blind dates or for your treacherous parents to unexpectedly disappear for the evening, leaving you with the house to yourselves. With all this genuine love and support around you there's no way you'll be able to resist for long!
8. Talented
You will be cursed with an incredible, world class talent in a field of your choice. The classics such as music or art are fine, but so is becoming a world class mechanic or scientist. Sure, you could hide this newfound ability from the world, pretend you're just a plain old regular high schooler, but I'm sure the temptation to flex it will overcome you eventually. You'll be so awe inspiring, so mesmerising in your mastery, that you'll soon be swamped with eager fangirls! You can take this more than once for extra talents.
9. Silver Tongue
With an easy, natural charm and a sort of intangible, innate charisma, you'll have no choice but to win the hearts of everyone you speak to, romantically or otherwise. Sure, you could keep quiet, but your personal magnetism will simply make you appear to be a tantilising enigma which will only draw people in all the stronger. You're not controlling minds, but a honeyed word is all it'll take to have most people see things your way. You'll be well liked and popular, and there's nothing you can do about it!
10. Jump Start
Don't think that whole "I was a dude until 10 minutes ago" excuse is going to fly with me. Yuri beckons, and I will provide the tools! A comprehensive feminine education, everything you've ever wanted to know about fashion, makeup, hair care or hygeine, all the things a teenage girl like you would have picked up naturally over time, crammed straight into your pliant little brain. You can choose if it will feel like you've always known this stuff, or whether doing these things for the first time still feels novel yet surprisingly easy and natural.
11. Youth
A fate even worse than yuri. Do not beg, I shall not save you from it. You will be the little girl! Your teenage form, and any aspects of your life chosen elsewhere, are yet to come. For now you are 8 years old, but there's no escaping your partner! She's aged down too, in a role appropriate to her new age, right there with you! For now she just wants to be your best friend, but it won't be long before her true desires emerge. After all those years spend growing up side by side, with all those precious memories you've made together, you'll be powerless to resist her!
12. Empathy
You plan to rely on lack of social skills to sabotage this terrible fate? No more, as this curse burdens you with incredible empathic abilities! You'll always be able to tell what people are feeling, and will know just what to do to brighten their day. When it comes to your partner, the skill is borderline supernatural! While you're not forced to act like a sweet, thoughtful ray of sunshine it'll take so little effort that once you get a taste of the social perks doing so brings, you'll surrender freely!
13. Brains
The curse of the keen mind will ensure you always fully comprehend just how low you have fallen! You'll be extremely intelligent, maybe not a genius but certainly an outlier, in matters both practical and academic. Not only that, you'll have an incredible memory to match! Topping your class is assured. A doomed fate of endless cute girls begging for help with their homework and teachers pushing you into prestigious roles as a school rep, ensuring endless exposure and attention, awaits!
14. Comfort
You will have all the benefits of womanhood thrust upon you, but the downsides will be forever denied! You will have nothing to cling to as you sink ever deeper into the bliss of yuri! Your periods are so mild you often don't realise they're happening, or actually non-existent if you prefer. In addition pregnancy, should you ever choose to become a mother, will be similarly effortless. Easy to conceive, without side effects or health concerns, and as complication free a birth can be.
15. Effortless
No matter how little care you take, no matter how much of a slob you are, you'll always look flawless. You'll wake up with perfectly styled hair that compliments your face, and your natural complexion looks like you have a subtle yet expertly applied layer of "no makeup" makeup on. You'll even smell fresh, maybe even with a hint of some cute scent, regardless of whether or not you bathe, and your body refuses to grow hair anywhere that would spoil your look. Deny it all you want, the whole world will believe you're trying your very best to look pretty!
16. Optimised Digestion
Girls don't do that, anon, and so neither shall you! Your new body does not need to use the bathroom, and in addition, can be perfectly fueled by eating whatever food you desire. You're sustained by the cursed power of yuri now, after all, nutrition is insignificant! Eat nothing but sweets for the rest of your life and you'll not put on a pound (unless you're deliberately trying to), and will feels as energetic and healthy as if you'd eaten a full, balanced diet. Your teeth won't even suffer for it!
17. Proximity Bonus
Just being near your partner makes the whole world seem brighter. Food tastes better, music makes you feel things it never would alone, your bed feels comfier. It's not that the world seems dull without them, it's the same as ever, but anything you do together reaches spectacular, life affirming highs you never thought possible, before. She feels it too, and this isn't just the rose coloured glasses of young love that will eventually fade as you grow accustomed to it. It's evil, insidious magic! There is no escape, you'll feel like this for the rest of your lives!
18. Harem
You poor, pathetic fool. I almost feel sorry for you! A single partner is more than enough to assure your doom, but with two after you? You may as well give up now! Pick a second archetype (or the same again, if you prefer). You're now being pursued by two girls. They'll be willing to share you, but whether they do so begrudgingly or as a happy throuple is up to you. If you're truly insane, you can take this option again, as many times as you like, for additional terrifying pursuers!
19. Mix and Match
Can't make up your mind as to the form your doom shall take? You've hesitated long enough an even more twisted creation awaits you! Pick two archetypes. Your partner is a mixture of both. Perhaps an even mix of their traits, perhaps one just tinged slightly by the other, or perhaps the personality of one transplanted wholesale onto the role or body of another. It's whatever would make them the best match for you! If you have "Harem", you need only to take this once to apply it to any number of them.
20. Independence
There will be no hiding behind your mother's skirt when it comes to facing your destiny! Although still a legal minor, you are trusted with far more independence than most. While always welcome in the family home you have a small place of your own nearer your school and a sizeable allowance to take care of yourself while living there. There's only one bedroom, but I'm sure that won't be a problem when your partner invites herself over to stay the night, will it?
21. Sweet Dreams
There is no escaping your partner, even within the confines of your own dreams! Whenever you fall asleep in the same bed you'll experience extremely pleasant, restful, shared dreams that you'll have complete recall of the next day. You can even direct them, thinking together of a theme or tone you wish to experience as you lay there with her, and can choose whether they'll be lucid or if you'd prefer to just go with the flow. A night without her will feel empty and hollow in comparison!
22. Nostalgia
We cannot allow homesickness to distract you from your destiny! If being thrust into a new reality is too scary to do alone, we'll just have to bring a support network along with you. Any family and close friends you desire will be brought with you to your new life, and altered only the bare minimum necessary for them to not clash with your other options. You can choose whether they're aware of the move, and whether they're aware you weren't also a cute, besotted teenager with a head full of yuri, too.
23. Compatible
Worried about carrying on the bloodline when you're doomed to a life without dicks? We can't have that getting in the way of your cursed bliss! You and your partner will be entirely capable of conceiving children with each other. Don't worry about the how, when you want it to happen just do the deed, decide which of you will carry it and the rest will come naturally. You can decide if this is a quirk only you two share or if it's something all women in this reality can do.
24. Mind Control
Ha ha, yes, cower in fear! I am going to play with your very mind itself! How, you ask? First, I'll find everything you dislike about yourself. Every fear you wish you could overcome, every vice you can't shake, every small, mean emotion you desire to be rid of, and I'll tear them from you! Next, I'll find the things you admire about others, the personality traits you've always wished to possess, and force them into you brain! Worse still, you'll remain essentially "you" whatever happens, without a hint of identity death to escape into!
YOUR MEAGRE BLESSINGS
She's almost bouncing with excitement as you finish making your choices. "I can't believe that worked! Everyone told me you were unstoppable, too stubborn to coerce or trick into a hellish life of eternal torment, but this is easy! You must be utterly terrified of me, you're barely even trying to resist! It's good to see you know when you've been beaten. I suppose, since you're making this so easy, I could show some clemency." "Here, I'll give you some blessings to help you in your new life. Don't think they'll let you cheat fate, however! They're designed to hinder your destined partner's attempts to win your heart. To let you struggle and fight your fate a little longer for my amusement, but not to escape it altogether. Take whichever you desire, you will only delay the inevitable!" "Select three of my blessings below. No, you may not refuse them! How rude! However, if you desire more, I suppose that could be arranged. If you'll take on more curses, that is! For each additional blessing you take, you'll have to select an additional curse too!" You consider asking just exactly how this girl's brain ended up as broken as it demonstrably is, but think the better of it, and instead make your next choice...
1. Swamp Creature
Your mind is filled with endless thoughts of pure yuri romance. Every idle moment filled with day dreams of cute girls in love, every new manga or anime with even a hint of yuri devoured the moment it drops. You're so obsessed with your ships, wondering what's next for your favourite couples, that you have a blind spot for what's happening right in front of you. You're not oblivious, you realise the hints your partner is dropping and the situations you're finding yourself in seems like yuri bliss, but something so perfect couldn't happen in real life... could it?
2. Altruistic
Behaving like a kind, considerate, sweet little girl fills you with a supernaturally powerful feeling of happy contentment. This isn't just the warm fuzzies altruism usually brings, it's a strong, addictive force you'll struggle to resist. You'll be so naturally caring and friendly to everyone you meet (except those who would try to exploit or abuse you) that your poor partner will be hard pressed to tell whether your reaction to their advances is genuine interest or just your usual, adorable self.
3. Dulcet Tones
To you, your partner's voice is the most beautiful sound in the world. It doesn't seem to effect anyone else, but whenever they speak to you you tend to zone out into a pleasant, tingly trance. It doesn't matter what they're saying, the sound itself is just so nice! How will you ever hear their confession if you're already so blissed out on the sound by the time they finish saying hello? Of course, we can't have this protection last forever. The more time you spend with them the less you'll zone out, but the pleasure will always remain.
4. Pattable
This blessing is two-fold. First, your scalp becomes extremely sensitive, and headpats feel incredible on a level you never dreamed of. A pleasure of orgasmic intensity, that somehow feels wholesome and comfy rather than exciting or lewd. Second, being headpat is really, really embarrassing for you. You hate how weak and dopey it makes you, even as you secretly crave them more and more. You'll fight with all your strength to make sure you never give in to your partner's pats by day, and dream about how good they could make you feel by night.
5. Shonen-Brain
The pure, undiluted masculine energy of your former existence forms a shield around your brain which no coy smile, no subtle hint as to a girl's romantic intentions could ever penetrate. Why is that girl licking ice cream off her fingers? Someone should find her a spoon! Why is she naked in your bed? She doesn't sleep here, and besides, she'll catch a cold! You're not necessarily opposed to the idea, you'll just genuinely not notice they're happening or assume there's an innocent alternative explanation until they unambiguously spell out their intentions to you.
6. Protected
Your parents are extremely protective of their precious little angel, especially when it comes to harlots who would steal her innocence. Expect strict curfews, constant surveillance and for any "friends" brought home to be eyed suspiciously until they're certain they're not hear to do anything untoward with you. A girl would have to move heaven and earth to prove herself worthy of you in their eyes. Is your partner up to the challenge, or will she break their hearts as she wins yours?
7. "Straight"
Wait, your destined partner is a girl? That doesn't make any sense, girls don't do that with other girls! I mean, yes, you've heard rumours of such things, and it's not like there's anything wrong with it, but you're as straight as they come! Sure, you've never actually fallen for a guy before, and your heart did beat a little faster that one time you walked in on those two girls kissing at school (and all the times you've thought about it since), but that was just from the shock at seeing something so outrageous! There's no way you'd fall in love with a girl!
8. Forbidden Love
The world you've found yourself in does not look kindly on relationships between two women. It's not illegal, and physical violence towards such couples is rare, but if you should give in to your partner the resulting relationship would be a scandal. You'd likely be ostracised at school and at home (unless you also have Supporters, in which case your closest associates will still have your back), and can expect plenty of mean comments from strangers and nosy busy bodies trying to set you up with a nice boy instead.
9. Yuri Magnet
Your true doom is eternal, unshakeable love with your perfect soulmate. Will you accept a lesser evil to postpone it, even for a little while? With this you will attract a constant stream of confessions from cute girls, more smitten by your beauty or harbouring a crush than truly in love with you, and it will be up to you to choose how to deal with them! Break their hearts one after the next and gain a reputation as the ultimate challenge to be conquered, or bounce from one whirlwind romance to the next and gain another reputation altogether?
10. Dude Magnet
Fine tuning a body into perfect yuri bait does tend to attract a less desirable sort of attention too. You'll have to deal with constant confessions for your male classmates, ranging from shy nerds professing their undying love to pushy assholes who won't take "I like girls" for an answer. Even when you're with your partner you can expect to be hit on. Maybe this constant annoyance will be enough of a strain on your relationship to keep things slow at first, but in the end I'm sure it'll just make her all the more determined to claim you as her own!
11. Dramatic
Your partner has more on her plate than just winning your heart. An out of work parent, a sick sibling, a traumatic breakup. Whatever it is, it's causing plenty of drama and keeps her distracted from focusing on you. However, you'll find you're by chance perfectly suited to helping her through it, either practically or emotionally, ensuring she comes out stronger on the other side. Sure, you could leave her to struggle alone, but would you really be so heartless?
12. Timing
You shall be blessed with perfect timing, ensuring you and your partner constantly run into each other at inopportune moments. Overhearing half of a conversation and wrongly assuming they're flirting with other girls (or, heaven forbid, boys!), bumping into them buying flowers and being too flustered to realise they're a mother's day gift and not the evidence of an affair, if anything could possibly be misinterpreted in a way that would cause a rift between you, it will be. Of course, no blessing will free you forever, and all will be cleared up in time.
13. Remote
You live in the middle of nowhere. Sure, the house is beautiful, and being out here in nature is incredible, but the commute to school every day is a bitch. No lazy hanging out after classes, no walking home hand in hand after a long day. If you want to be home by nightfall, you can't mess around with things like that! Of course, while avoidance may work for a time, this will only make the moments you do share together all the more precious. There is no escape from her love!
14. Girl (Male)
Oh, alright, you can keep it. Although your body looks 100% female otherwise, you have a cute, feminine penis too. Whether you're a trap or a futa is up to you. Whatever the case the rest of the world, including your future partner, believes you're all girl. You'll have to keep your little secret close to your chest if you don't want to have a lot of explaining to do! Your partner is in for a shock when they find out, they may even by upset with you! But, whatever else they feel, they'll also feel oddly curious, and their love for you will win out in the end.
15. Rival
Your future partner may be doggedly trying to win your heart, but while they have eyes for no one but you, someone else certainly has eyes for them. Another girl, seemingly more perfect for them than you are, has staked her claim and is out to win your destined partner's heart before she can win yours. If you don't intervene, she may even succeed! For a time, at least. Their relationship will never last, and your partner will be hot on your heels again before long.
16. Senpai
You can only take this option if your partner is a fellow student. Instead of being in your year, she's actually your senpai! Will she even notice a cute little underclassman like you when she's got so many gorgeous girls her own age around her? The answer, of course, is yes. It make take a little longer, and her choice may raise a few eyebrows, but she'll be coming for you eventually. It's not polite to talk back to your senpai, so be a good girl and do what she says, okay?
17. Dominance
A surge of determination rushes through you. There's no way you'll give in and let someone claim you like this! You're not some prize to be won, how dare this girl think she can treat you this way? You'll reject her advances for all time if that's what it takes! You'll never give in! In fact, just rejecting her is letting her off too lightly! Let's see how she likes being the one pursued for a change! Yes, it's perfect, you'll win her heart, and make her your perfect little girlfriend instead! She won't know what hit her!
18. Lust
God, have girls always looked like that? They never made you this hot before you changed, but now every waking moment is consumed by thoughts of the shapes of their bodies, their smell, the feel of their hands on your... It's so hard to focus on anything else! You love girls so much! Romance takes a backseat to lust when you're this horny. Of course, your partner is perfect for you. If there's anyone who can keep up with someone as insatiable as you are, it's her.
19. B-baka!
My most powerful blessing. Even when you succumb to her charms and fall deeply in love with your pursuer, you won't be able to admit it. Not to her, and certainly not to yourself. You'll pout and scoff and insist she means nothing to you, even as you're getting into bed with her. You'll toss insults at her and demand she knock off this silly game she's playing. But, through it all, she'll know. You can't hide the truth from her, and she's more than happy with her cute little tsundere girlfriend.
20. Employment
Really? I know the fate that awaits you is dark but even it isn't retail dark. You are forced to work a part time job, a couple of nights a week after school and a half day on Saturdays forever! Stacking shelves in a quiet little bookshop, helping an old couple out in their little hole in the wall restaurant, something slow and easy, but still taking up time that could be spent with your partner. Unless she decides to surprise you at work so she can check you out in your cute uniform, that is!
YOUR LOATHSOME PRISON
"Satisfied with your choices? Not that they'll do you any good, your fate is sealed, but it will be fun to watch you squirm!" "Now, with you and your partner and curses all ready, we just need somewhere to dump you. Another reality, separate from your own, but almost indistinguishable. You probably wouldn't notice you'd left if I wasn't so graciously explaining all of this to you! Don't think this is some mere simulation populated by automatons, though. When I "create" it, and when I "create" your pursuer for that matter, I'm simply picking one of an infinite number of realities that match what you have chosen to deposit you in. The world, the people in it, and your soon-to-be paramour are as real, as fundamentally human, as you are." "I'm sure your feeble mind didn't follow a word of that, did it? I forget how pathetic humans can be! No matter I've prepared 4 new homes, each more disgustingly pleasant than the last, for you to choose from. Whatever you pick you'll be starting your first year of high school. You can decide whether you're retroactively inserted as having always lived here, with all the existing connections that implies, or if you're a new transfer student as new to this place as you are in reality." Another speech over, another awkward silence. At least she's not laughing this time. Tempted to toy with her a little longer, you decide to be the bigger person and make your choice....
1. The Big City
A bustling metropolis and the centre of every cultural scene you can imagine, you'll never be short of new things to experience here. While it does lack for green spaces and your undeniably still very fancy apartment may not be as big as the other homes on offer, you'll never be bored. Whether it's attending once-in-a-lifetime concerts, sampling incredible food or just hanging out in a world class shopping district, you'll have no choice but to make new, exciting memories together every single day!
2. Suburban Dreams
Sold as a middle ground between the isolation of the country and the chaos of the city, for a kid without their own means of transport your quiet suburban neighbourhood might as well be on the surface of the moon. I guess that means you'll have to make your own fun! Whether that's causing trouble, flexing your creative muscles by starting a band or filming a movie, or just endlessly chilling together in your bedrooms, you'll have an eager companion to do it with.
3. Country Life
With nature all around you and a population small enough that there's good odds you're on first name terms with most people you meet, this country town feels like something out of another time. The sort of place where the local library is still renting out VHS tapes and no one bats an eye at it. Life moves slowly here, and you'll have all the time in the world to explore the woods, hike the mountains and laze by the lakes with your partner by your side.
4. Coastal Comforts
With decaying railyards and abandoned facto ries the only evidence of a long since faded industrial boom, the memories of better days linger on this now quiet fishing town. The boarded up houses and rotting pleasure pier contrast with miles of breathtaking coastline and the simple pleasure of breathing crisp ocean air. If the town's aura of melancholy ever gets to you while you're strolling the empty beaches or engaging in a little urban exploration of the old industrial sites you can always rely on your partner to lift your spirits.
YOUR CRUEL TWIST OF FATE
"Oh, you thought you'd escape with just a new home town to adjust to? You fool! That's far too mild a punishment for a villain like you!" "I have prepared 4 fiendish twists which will warp your new reality beyond all recognition! You'll be so lost, so hopelessly adrift, that you'll throw yourself into your partner's arms and practically beg her to claim you as her own! A-ha-ha-ha! You must take one, but pick as many as you like!"
1. Another Time
I said the reality you're heading for is very much like your own, but I didn't say it was like your own right now. In fact, it's a perfect copy of your world from the recent past. You can choose exactly when, any year from 1950-2000. If you're worried about what that means for your impending sapphic proclivities, I suppose I can throw in more modern sensibilities for free on request. Oh, and just because it looks like your past doesn't mean things will turn out the same as they did in your world. The future is entirely unwritten!
2. Another Place
Oh don't give me that look. This is barely a curse at all. You're still moving home, you're just moving a little further than you anticipated! Pick any country on a continent other than the one you currently live on. That's where you're headed. I'll give you two options. Either you're a native to this new country, having lived their all your life in this new reality, or you're a recent arrival, maintaining your original country of birth. Either way, I'll throw in all the language skills you need for free.
3. Another World
On the surface your new town is just like we agreed, but you'll soon discover there's more than meets the eye. Vampires stalk the night streets, ghosts linger in the old cemetery and the howls of werewolves pierce the night air. They're considered myths just as they were in your old world, but after a chance encounter you and your partner will know better. You'll probably never be able to prove it to the world at large, and will never be in any real danger (although you won't know this), but this new world is yours to explore. Together.
4. Another Race
Girls kissing other girls is just better when they've both got a pair of fluffy ears and a cute, overactive tail to advertise how excited they are about it. Sorry, I don't make the rules, that's just how the universe works. Your new world is populated by all manner of kemonomimi. Whether this is purely cosmetic or if they carry some personality traits of their animal counterparts I'll leave to you, and I'll also allow you to choose whether you and/or your partner are blessed with ears of your very own.
YOUR INSURMOUNTABLE TRIALS
"Is it starting to sink in yet? Can you even comprehend the horrors that await you? Here, let me give you a little preview!" "Select at least three horrible trials you'll need to endure in your new life! If the despair I've already inflicted on you has truly broken you and awoken the pathetic masochist within, suppose I can let you take up to five instead! No more than that, though. You're here to suffer, and going through too many of these in such a short time would snap your feeble mind far too quickly for my liking." "Oh, and don't even think about trying to prepare yourself for them in advance. Once we're done here, you won't remember making this decision. You'll have no idea what horrors await you!"
1. The Play
You've been cast as the female lead in the school play, but in a shocking twist, your male counterpart isn't being played by a boy at all! Did your partner come up with a devious scheme to secure that spot, or is she as surprised about this as you are? Whatever the case, you'll find it hard to concentrate on your lines when you know that scene is coming up. They can't really expect you to go through with it, can they? To kiss another girl, in front of the entire school?!
2. The Tent
How could this happen?! The school camping trip always assigns three students to a tent to prevent any funny business like this, but a last minute drop out means you're spending the whole night alone. With her. Your tent is way out on the edge of the site too, far from the nearest students, nevermind the teachers. At least they've been generous when handing out the camping gear. You've got bug spray, a little stove for outside, plenty of snacks and... why is there only one sleeping bag?!
3. The Meal
Going out to eat with a girl doesn't have to mean anything, right? After all, it's not like she's paying for you, she won this trip to the fanciest restaurant in town in a competition, it'd be rude to turn her down! The date is just a coincidence! Was she unaware it was a coupon for the "Deluxe Valentine's Day Experience", or was this her plan all along? Either way, a night of incredible food, breathtaking views and being serenaded with love songs by the singer in your own private lounge awaits!
4. The Nurse
This is it. It's the end. You've had a good run, but your life begins to fade. Oblivion looms. That or you've got a pretty bad cold, it's one or the other. Regardless, she'll be by your side the whole way through. Whether or not she knows what she's doing doesn't really matter, she's trying her best! Besides, just having her nearby somehow makes everything feel better. Don't forget to return the favour when she inevitably succumbs to the same illness just as you recover!
5. The Storm
Why did you forget an umbrella, today of all days? You're soaked through, but at least you're not alone. She's in just as bad a state as you are! Never fear, she lives just around the corner, and insists you stop by to dry off. No excuses, you'll get sick if you travel home like that! You must be pretty cold too, how about warming up in the bath first? Why not hop in together to save water? It's fine, you're both girls, after all! Then it's time for an impromptu makeover! If you're going to have to wear her clothes anyway, she might as well make look cute in them!
6. The Muse
Why is it always you? What kind of high school art class makes a student "volunteer" for life modelling, anyway? You're anxious about baring it all for your classmates, but it's the extra credit class that really makes your heart beat faster. Only one student has signed up. Only her. Your teacher has been clear. As a model, it's your duty to do whatever her most diligent pupil asks of you. If she needs to get a little hands on to make sure you're posed just right, well, that's fine too.
7. The Saviour
Woah, you thought stuff like this only happened in the movies. If it weren't for her, there's no way you'd still be standing here right now. Whether she fought of a gang of thugs single handed, carried you from a burning building or pushed you out of the path of a falling piano, there's no doubt that you literally owe your life to this girl. That tends to colour of your view of someone a little bit. She couldn't have planned this better if she tried! Wait, she didn't actually plan for this to happen, did she?
8. The Accomplice
You're a wanted woman. An outlaw. A fugitive. A despicable, low-life desperado. Okay, so, it's probably not as bad as all that, but you've definitely broken the law, and she's to blame! Maybe she talked you into a shoplifting spree, maybe you broke into the school after dark together, maybe she felt that wall could use little aerosol-based redecorating. Maybe she didn't even intend for this and you two knuckleheads have bumbled into criminality together. There'll be consequences if you're caught, but somehow that just makes it feel... exciting?
9. The Drink
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of your very first hangover! It's the morning after your first taste of alcohol and judging from the throbbing behind your temples, you might have overindulged a teensy bit. Was this her first time too, or was this getting your drunk all a part of her master plan? Is she suffering by your side, or ready to tease and comfort you through the worst of it? Why can't you remember what you did after that second beer and why do your lips taste funny?
10. The Ceremony
A history class on ancient wedding ceremonies isn't the most exciting thing in the world. Maybe taking part in the practical demonstration will help you pay attention? Who's your partner going to b-. It's her. Of course it's her. The vows are a little embarrassing and the way she holds you during the dance makes you feel... things, but it's not too bad. It was fun, even! Wait, what's this about the form you signed at the end? "Never officially rescinded?" What do you mean "still legally binding?!"
11. The Adventure
Finding out you're one half of the destined "soulbound saviours" of a grand fantasy kingdom is a weird way to start a Saturday. As much as you weren't sure about this whole "soulbound" thing at first, you can't deny how powerful you feel with her by your side. You can barely hold your own against a common goblin alone, but together you're like a force of nature. The Demon King won't know what hit him! While the adventure won't last forever and you will return home eventually, the memories that you two will share will last a lifetime.
12. The Padlock
How could you let her distract you like that?! You were only supposed to help tidy away some chairs as a favour to a fellow club member after school, and then she interrupted you. You were so distracted by...things, that you never noticed everyone else leaving. Now they've gone and locked the school, with you two inside! Every door, every window, locked up tight! With no phone to hand, it looks like you're going to be stuck inside all night. Stuck inside together. However will you pass the time?
13. The Bet
The stakes are high. No more double or nothing, no more backing down. Whether a test of strength, one last round in a video game or a simple coin toss, it's winner takes all. Takes what, exactly? The loser, of course! One full weekend with them entirely at your command. The maid outfit is already picked out, all that's left to see is who'll be the servant, and who'll be the master. Will you be living it up with a blushing slave at your beck and call, or learning to be a very good girl?
14. The Reporter
Whether a genuine misunderstanding or a calculated act on her part, the whole school, hell, the whole town, is now convinced you're together. Someone said a reporter was looking to speak to some students, and your pursuer begged you to come with her. No one said it was for a local fluff piece about young girls in love! They've taken everything you said completely out of context! Well, at least it'll all blow over soon. Wait, what's gone viral? How many views?!
15. The Swap
You're not sure what happened exactly but there was a flash of light, you passed out, and when you came to you weren't, well, you! You're in her body, and you've got a sinking feeling you know exactly where she is right now. Don't worry about it too much, these things tend to work themselves out in the end. But you'll have to work together very closely if you're going to successfully pretend to be each other in the meantime. She's very eager to teach you all about just how that body ticks.
16. The Handcuffs
While clearing out the drama department's prop cupboard with your partner you slipped a pair of fake handcuffs on. Just as a joke, there was definitely nothing else on your mind at the time! Turns out they're not fake, and you're really regretting putting them behind your back now. Thankfully, she's found the key. What a relief, could you imagine having to ask a teacher for help like this? They'd think you're some kind of sex weirdo! Wait, why is she putting it in her pocket? Why is she holding a blindfold? What is she going to do with that rope?!
YOUR ETERNAL TORMENT
"What's that, you feel like you're forgetting something? Don't worry about it, I'm sure it's not something unspeakably horrible. You ignorant fool, you have no idea what you've just condemned yourself to! A-ha-ha-ha!" "All that's left is to turn the key and lock you away in this hellish world for all time! What, you didn't think this punishment was only temporary, did you? Even death cannot save you from the power of yuri! Make your final, pathetic choice, the form your immortality shall take, and doom yourself for all time!"
1. High School Never Ends
Not only will you never escape your pursuer, you'll never even escape high school! The day after your graduation you'll wake up, de-aged and time shifted back to your very first day, ready to do it all over again. This isn't a Groundhog Day scenario, things will be different. Maybe it's just minor changes. A different teacher, a puppy you didn't own in the last time line, or maybe it's more major like taking place in a new country or another time. One thing always remains the same. Whatever else happens, you'll always end up with her.
2. Variations on a Theme
After high school you'll live your lives together, aging and eventually passing just like any other couple. Death is not the end for you, however. You'll both be reborn, maybe in the distant past, maybe in the far future, maybe in another world, altogether. But always, without fail, together. Neither of you will remember a thing, you'll be entirely new people, but will always be inexplicably drawn to each other. Until you share that first kiss, that is. Then all those memories, all those countless lives, will come rushing back.
3. Endless Summer
Time itself grinds to a halt. You'll go through the first few years of your new life normally, until you reach the summer before your final year of high school. A summer which will, literally, last forever. Your perception of time is warped so that no matter how many aeons you spend here it will never grow boring. You'll never even realise it's happening. All you'll know is a sense of freedom, a knowledge school is still yet months away, and that you have all the time in the world to laze around, go on adventures and enjoy the company of the girl you love.
4. Whatever Comes Next
You refuse to be bound to this mortal coil. You'll live your life with your partner at your side, a life that is guaranteed to be long and happy, until you pass away hand in hand having achieved everything you ever wished to. What happens next you cannot say. Whatever happens to an ordinary human soul, you suppose. But whatever that is, whatever fate beyond the comprehension of mortal minds awaits you on the other side, you somehow know you'll experience it together.
