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.
