The Danger's of MMOs (Apophis/Pharoah Ends)

The Conversation that started it all.

>apophis discovers the joys of online gaming
>becomes a shut in, hardly does anything but game and sleep
>gets to the point where she'll only leave the room to go to the bathroom, as she even eats in front of the computer
>powers her sessions by biting herself, gaming and masturbating with the tip of her tail
>becomes a hamplanet

You fucked up.
- - - - - -- -

>Not canceling her subscription and selling the computer.

>Not taking her to the gym everyday to burn off that excess fat.

>Not, after months of sweat and training, having a toned apophis sporting a six pack, the only fat left being that which was in her breasts.

- --- - --- --

She bites you and makes you empty your bank account to get her a Titan. You make ends meet by selling her venom

- - - -- - - -- -- -


Preemptive Warning, there IS going to be an apophis with DAAAAAAMN levels of fat for most the story.

< - - - - - -  - - >

>The love is gone from your relationship, that much you know. Ever since you introduced her to the world of online gaming your apophis girl friend stopped venturing outside.

>She spent everyday playing that game, only leaving the room to sleep or use the restroom.

>In fact, that's the only time you even see her anymore, other than when you need to milk her for venom or when she wants spirit energy.

>You don't bother knocking when you enter anymore, she never pays attention other than when food or sex is involved.

>Her body has truly ballooned since she began, your old, thin grapesnake burried beneath a jiggling belly, hips that are too wide for chairs (forcing her to use her own massive coils as a seat), and massive breasts that block her view of the monitor.

>Or at least, they did until she poisoned you that one day and made you spend all your money on a new computer and a monitor the size of a wide screen television.

>You collect the discarded trash from the room, giving your rotund girlfriend one last pleading look, hoping she will say something.

>She doesn't, her focus entirely on the screen.

>You sigh and toss the trash in the garbage, you need to pick up some groceries today. It will be another hour before she wants to give you venom anyway.

>"Maybe I should get her some fruit," you think as you begin wandering the store with your meager earnings from selling her venom. "It would do her some good to eat something other than holstaurus cheese pizzas"

>A sudden tremor goes through you as you feel the early signs of withdrawal.

>"Ara ara~ are you alright boy?" a soothing voice sounds from behind you.

>You turn and are greeted by a caramel skinned goddess in a suit, elegant beyond compare with an authoritative aura.

>She reminds you a little of your dear grapesnake from before the game.

>Her eyes narrow as she sees the bite marks on your neck, a knowing look in her eyes.

>"You poor thing...come home with me, I'll help you

>She takes you to the monster girl city rehabilitation clinic, a large white building built to handle anything from mind control potions to magical spells.

>"Don't worry honey, we will get you fixed in no time." she tells you as she parks her car.

>"But what about my girlfriend Anna?" you ask, stomach rolling in your stomach. The pains are getting worse."I need to get back to her."

>"That's just her poison, anon." She tuts as she brings you in, "Once your better you will see that you deserved MUCH better than her."

>You simply nod, nausea filling you as you go into full blown withdrawal. Anything to make it go away.

>You spend the next six months in the white building, Casandra, a pharaoh as you learn, helping you every step of the way.

>She talks with you, cooks with you, eats dinner with you. She makes you feel alive again as you are slowly weened off Anna's poison.

>You do try to see your apophis....you want to say girlfriend but you don't even know if that's true anymore....but Cassandra keeps you there, pointing out that a letter has been left at your house for her and that no calls have come in.

>You can't help but feel a little saddened at this, you two were close once and parting is never easy.

>But as more time passes you think less and less of Anna and more and more of Cassandra.

>So it is that you awake one day to find that you no longer shake, your stomach no longer turns, and your head no longer aches.

>Your finally free.

>You excitedly tell one of the aids, a nekomata, and ask her to get Cassandra, nearly bursting with joy.

>It isn't too long before your chocolate skinned savior returns, as beautiful and regal as ever.

>"That's so good to hear anon!" she coos, planting a kiss on your cheek before holding your hand. "Now it's time for us to do one final test. Come with me, you should have a visitor any second now."

>< - - - - - - - - -- - >

>Anna groaned as she leaned back onto her scales, smiling in triumph.

>It took her two years to do but she finally did it. She has carved out a perfect, virtual kingdom for her precious anon.

>Ever since he showed her that game, Land of Lords, she knew what she had to do.

>He had sounded so interested in it, so excited to show it to her that she knew he must really have enjoyed it. As such, she had set her plan into motion.

>A man as perfect as her anon deserved a kingdom to rule over and, seeing as monster girl city forbids the formation of secondary governments within its borders, she elected to do it online.

>She read all the forums, crunched all the numbers and hunted for the best gear, creating a perfect avatar that could take on another creature and win.

>She had created alliances with all the guilds on the server, holding each of their leaders within her pocket and tying them to her beck and call.

>She had even cornered the market on goods, teaming up with an entrepreneurial tanuki to control the flow of items in the auction houses.

>It had not been easy, patches had forced her to rebuild her character more than once and every now and then a guild would try to rebel against her, Not that it mattered with the sheer amount of players under her control.

>It had also taken a personal cost for her as well. A steady diet of holstaurus pizza from a chain controlled by a dear friend of hers had destroyed her figure, turning her into an overinflated joke of her former self.

>She grimaced a bit as she gave her meaty belly a poke, feeling it jiggle FAR more than she ever remembered or wanted.

>Not to mention that her breasts blocked a good third of her field of vision.

>She had also been forced to be a lot more...forceful....with anon than she liked. Getting him hooked on her venom so he would buy that new computer for her, allowing more efficient tracking mods and secondary programs to run.

>it was all going to be worth it thought. Everything was under her control and she was now the unofficial queen of the server .

>All she had to do now was claim her king.

>"Anoooon!" she sang out, happily squeezing through the door. "I've got something to show you!"

>Oh how she wanted to see his smiling face when she showed him the kingdom that awaited! The loyal soldiers ready to guide him and protect him until he took her side.

>It made her sad that she had been so cold to him, he'd probably thought she was mad at him or something. He'd even stopped coming into her room, forcing her to grab the pizzas herself from an increasingly awestruck pizza boy.

>It was a good thing she'd set the bills to pay themselves directly from her bank accounts. anon was looking pretty rough last time she saw him, mentioning something about lacking a job when she was in the middle of gaining control of blacksmithing market.

>He did have her venom though, she'd let him milk her so he could sell it for extra cash. She'd been forced to bite him as well though, a protective measure incase any of the folks he sold to got frisky.

>As long as the venom was in anon's veins it would mark him as hers, at least, until she was able to finish her plan.

>"Anon?" She asked as she slid into the dusty, dark den. A hint of worry in her voice. "Are you here?"

>When had she last seen him? It hadn't been last week during the civil war.....I hadn't been last month when she united the five largest guilds.....It......

>She stopped in the kitchen, panic beating through her.

>She couldn't remember.... She couldn't remember the last time she saw her precious anon.

>She whipped through the house as quickly as her large body would let her, knocking over chairs and bumping into furniture as she went.

>Bathroom? No. Basement? No. Living room? NO!

>He wasn't anywhere she looked. Her heart beating in panic.

>Where was anon!? Was he safe? Surely there must be someth-

>Anna crashed into the pile of letters surrounding their door, finally noticing them despite her numerous trips for pizza.

>"What the? Monster Girl City Rehabilitation Clinic? Why are there so many of these?"

>She flicked one of the many, MANY letters open, reading the contents.

>"Patient Anon E. Mous? Aphophis addiction? What the hell?" she screamed, her eyes scanning the document outlining his progress.

>She grabbed another letter, it read the same thing, his name, his progress, his treatment. Over and Over and Over.

>She noticed another group of letters as well, simple white ones with a stamp and familiar hand writing. His hand writing.

>She ripped the letter open, heart stopping at her boyfriends hand writing.

>"Dear Anna, how are you? They say you haven't called or written yet but I still want to see you. Please call me when you can."

>Her hands shook and she dropped the letter, ripping another one open, more of the same.

>She kept reading more and more letters, each one of them describing his life there, the treatments, and each one asking her to visit him.

>There was also something else she saw, something that froze her cool blood solid.

>Cassandra

>The name of her rival from high school, a pharaoh with whom she had fought tooth and nail with every day.

>The things they had done to each other had passed beyond mere pranks.

>To say that there had been, and still was, bad blood between the two was an understatement.

>And she was with anon.

>Quick as a flash, a heavy, puffing flash, Anna grabbed her keys and squeezed into her car, now much tighter than she remember.

>"It'll be fine," She thought as she raced into street, tip of her tail working the pedals. "If I can reach anon before her it will be fine."

> <-------->

>"And here is our guest now," Cassandra laughed as a heavy looking apophis burst through my door, her too small shirt little more than a bra as her belly tapered over her skirt

> It was Anna

>"Anon!" She called, surging forward only to be stopped by Cassandra

>"Don't come any further snake!" the chocolate skinned woman hissed, her eyes glowing slightly "I will not have you re-hook our patient back on you venom just after we got him off of it."

>Anna halted, eyes narrowing as she glared at the Pharaoh "I'm not here to listen to you bitch, I'm here for anon."

>Cassandra laughed, a cruel light in her eyes "NOW your here for anon? After ignoring him for countless months. Not even bothering to call or write?"

>Anna flinched at Cassandra's words, uncertainty flashing across her face.

>"I-I was busy, that was all." Anna replied in desperation, giving me a pleading look. "I was working on something for anon."

>"And that required you to ignore him?" she shot back, the glow strengthening. "I see that your head is as thick as your belly you scaled sl-"

>"ENOUGH!" I shouted, cowing them both into silence. "I have some things to say."

>I took in a deep breath and looked at the two of them, Cassandra looking prim and proper in her suit, a lithe figure fit for a model, and Anna, a stretched T-shirt and too small skirt covering her gelatinous frame.

>"A-anna," I said, looking into her golden eyes "I've wanted to talk to you for so long, before now I felt that we could have weathered anything but.....you've ignored me for six months."

>I took a gulp of breath as my emotions raged, tears beginning to appear at the edges of her eyes. "I wrote everyday, I waited for you to call but you never did. Even before I came here you seemed to stop caring, just playing that damned game."

>"N-no anon...I never stopped caring!" Anna cried, the tears flowing freely now. "I just..."

>"What?" I asked, struggling to keep the tears back as I shouted "You just pumped me full of venom and ignored me for weeks..."

>Anna fell quiet at that, a look of dismay on her face as Cassandra smiled a small, hungry smile.

>I took in a gulp of air, steeling myself.

>"I'm leaving." I said, the words hanging heavy in the air. "I need some time to think but....after what happened I don't think we can stay together."

>"No," Anna whispered, a small, hiccuping sob wracking her "b-but anon, I - worked so hard to-"

>"You heard him." Cassandra interrupted, giving Anna a cold glare. "He wishes for some time to think things over, if you really care for him then I would recommend that you leave."

>"SHUT UP!" Anna screamed, hysterical with her fangs bared "YOU DID THIS TO HIM! YOU BRAIN WASHED HIM AN-"

>"ANNA!" I shouted, quieting her. "Just...go....please..."

>The portly apophis's face went through a variety of emotions.

>Anger.

>Despair.

>Horror

>But she eventually relented, slumping back onto herself.

>She looked so tired....so sad....

>She gave me a last, pleading look before linking from the room.

>It hurt to watch her go, although whether it hurt because of what we had been or what I had just done I couldn't tell.

>"I know it's tough anon," Cassandra comforted, "but it's the right decision."

>She picked up a clipboard and scanned it quickly, checking a few boxes.

>"You have a week left here, after that we can mark you as clean and let you go." She gave me a warm smile at odds with her previous cold one. "Just let me know when you have an answer."

>My last week in the clinic was hellish compared to my previous months, my mind working in overdrive as I thought and thought an thought.

>The letters from Anna didn't help, they were messy, pleading things. Begging me to come back to her, their erratic writings promising to never ignore me again.

>But....I had been burned before, could I really trust her again? We'd had a good three years together before I showed her the game but was that really a reason to forgive her?

>And Cassandra, she'd helped me through the addiction, comforting me when the shakes and fever hit me. Talking with me to take my mind off the desire for another hit of venom.But we'd only known each other for six months, did she really care about me that way or was this just part of her job?

>It was a long week but at the end I had my answer.

> < - - - - - - - >

>"Cassandra" I said, walking with the Pharoah one final time down the clinic hallways. "I've decided."

>"And what have you decided?" she asked, her face looking strangely cold.

>"I've decided that Anna and I....aren't meant to be."

>Her pen skipped across the clip board as I said that, one eyebrow raising.

>"She did this to me, poisoned me and when I needed her most she wasn't there for me...." My words caught in my throat, my heart hurting as I buried the last of my feelings for the snake.

>"But you....you pulled me, a complete stranger, out of the mall and into this clinic. Working with me and helping me, comforting me when things were bad."

>We stood before the clinic door, the threshold to a new life. "You were there for me when I needed you most Cassandra, Anna wasn't."

>She was quiet, her face as impassible as stone as she watched me.

>"Cassandra....do you want to maybe meet up with me sometime outside of the clinic?"

>She blinked rapidly for a couple seconds before her face broke into a large, warm smile.

>"I'd love to anon." she answered, giving me a hug. "I'd love to."

> <- - - - - -- - - >

>"Anon?" Cassandra called from the bedroom, fixing her black gown on her. "Are you ready? I want to speak with the mayor about a few things before the dinner begins."

>"Sure, just let me fix this stupid....tie...." I shouted back, fighting with the piece of cloth.

>It had been seven years since we started dating and two since we married. My romance with Cassandra seeming more fit for a story book than reality.

>She, a powerful monster girl with connections to the highest people in the city had dated and married me, a wretch she found in a store.

>"Honestly, you never learn do you?" She mused, stepping in to the room and fixing my tie

>She wrapped the cloth around a couple times and pulled it down, a perfect not.

>"You're lucky your so handsome husband." she laughed before giving me a light kiss on the cheek. "Otherwise I'd make you do it yourself."

>"Then I'm lucky to have a wife like you," I replied, returning her kiss. "Although you do know how much I hate these events."

>"You'll get used to them anon." she replied with a wink. "Besides, I have a reward for you afterwards."

>My heart skipped a beat at the mention of her reward. Cheeks reddening at the thought of what she had planned.

>"I guess I'll just be on my best behavior then."

>and with that we were out the door, off to hobnob with the big rollers and players of the city.

>I didn't much enjoy the politics of the powerful but as long as my wife was there I didn't mind. Especially with a kid on the way.

>Sometimes though...I wonder what would have happened if I had gone back to Anna. If I gave her a second chance.

>I've looked for Anna a couple times but failed to find hide or hair of the aphophis.

>I've even asked Cassandra for help, stating that I wish to have a reconciliation with my former friend.

>Cassandra helped at first, saying that she'd support her husband in whatever he wishes but one day she said I should stop.

>"It's best if you forget her Anon." she said in a tone that seemed...sorrowful? Regretful? "Because that is one rock you should not look under."

>That was where I ended my search, life and love distracting me with their endless events.

> < - - - - - - - >

>The server was barren now, the game long gone and its players missing.

>An empty kingdom of data and dust that was once ruled by a lonely queen who tried to hard to get something that was so close.

(Pharaoh end.)

>"Are you sure you want to do this anon?" Cassandra asked as I signed the sheet. "I don't want you to leave us just to head back into the exact same situation."

>"Don't worry Cassandra," I said, giving her a small smile. "It may not even work but...I don't want things to end like this between us."

>The Pharaoh gave a small smile and sigh, shaking her head sadly.

>"If that's what you want to do, I can't stop you." she said, taking he paper and sliding it under the desk. "Good luck anon."


>I gave her another smile and stepped out the door and out of the clinic.

>< - - - - - - - - >

>All my courage fled as I stepped from the cab, the house Anna and I had shared looming before me.

>What if she bit me? I wondered.

>What if she chains me in the basement or something?

>Adrenaline was pumping but I forced myself forward, step by step as I made my way to the door.

>Heart thumping I pressed the door bell.

>There was no going back.

>At first I feared nothing would happen, that she had left or was asleep. But then I heard it, the slow thumps of her slithering down the stairs.

>The lock rattled and the door opened, revealing a very disheveled looking Anna.

>Her long black hair was clumped and messy, as if it hadn't been combed in days, and her face was a blotchy purple. Her eyes looked even redder than normal, still wet looking from crying.

>She was wearing another too small shirt, her breasts pushed up against each other and forming an impressive valley of cleavage, although it still left her great belly bare.

>"Hi Anna, I though we sh-"

>"ANON!" she cried, wrapping me up in a squishy, scaly hug.

>It was the first hug she had given me in half a year but it was tight, her arms pulling me into her softness and tail binding me to her as she rocked me.

>It was just as warm as remembered it being.

>"Y-you came back to me!" She wept, smiling and laughing hysterically as she fell on her back, acting as a cushion for me.

>"A-Anna!" I managed, gasping for air as I freed myself from her titanic breasts. "C-calm down."

>Reluctantly the over-sized purple snake released me, unwrapping slowly from me until we were back where we started.

>She was jumpy, although whether it was from excitement or nervousness I couldn't tell.

>"S-so anon, w-what brings you back." she asked, stuttering slightly and trying to cover herself as much as she could.

>"I came back Anna because I still have some things that need to be said."

>Her nervous smile faltered as I took in a deep breath, steady my nerves.

>"Anna, we've been dating for years now and I thought we were close but....well...you've really shaken my trust in you this past half year."

>She remained quiet, mouth tight as she let me speak.

>"I've had feelings for you for a long time but now...now I don't know..."

>"Anon.." she whispered, hands tightening into fists and shoulders shaking slightly.

>"But...despite the bad times, we've had good times and because of those good times I want to give this one last shot." my voice trembled as I spoke, emotion barely kept in check.

>"It's not going to be easy," I continued, "if you want to try again then you are starting at ground zero."

>"Y-your giving me another shot?" Anna asked, tears at the edge of her eyes. "Even after all I did to you?"

>I nodded.

>For better or worse, I still had feelings for Anna.

>The overgrown apophis cried tears of joy and wrapped me up in another hug, weepy cries of "yes, yes!" echoing as she hugged me.

>I don't know how long we stood there in each others arms, basking in each others presence and I didn't care.

>It felt right.

>"A-anon," Anna finally said, breaking the hug and looking at me with a shaky smile, "I promise I won't let you down."

>Her hands slid down to mine and she turned towards the door.

>"Hey anon," she said, slowly pulling me along as she slithered. "Come up to my room, I have something to show you."

> < - - - - - - - - - >

>The sun shone through the shades, and stung my eyes, drawing me awake with a groan.

>It was 8'o clock on a Saturday, much to early for anyone to be awake.

>I groaned, and shifted in the bed, trying to break from from the coils that bound me.

>Sleeping next to me, and wrapped around me, was Anna, my wife.

>It had been eight years since that fateful day where we reunited and she showed me that little kingdom she had built, a guilty smile on her face as I stared in wonder.

>"You spent a year and a half making this?" I had asked her incredulously, watching as she highhandedly dictated what a thousand or more people across the world did.

>"Y-yeah," she had stuttered, tapping a button to show me two characters.

>One of them was a purple lamia who looked a lot like the old her while the other looked suspiciously like me.

>"I-I wanted to make a kingdom for you in the game as a gift but....I guess I focused more on the gift then I did the person."

>In the bed next to me Anna mumbled in her sleep, hugging me tight against her.

>True to her word she hadn't let me down, she quickly went back to being the old Anna I remembered from before the game.

> Becoming The jokester, the trickster, and the movie buddy I remembered. Although losing the weight had proven to be a more difficult task.

>Years of dieting and exercise had burnt most of the excess fat away but she was still on the heavy side, her breasts still grand but her belly greatly reduced from the former flesh apron it was to a small potbelly.

>It seemed that holstaurus milk is a bitch to burn off.

>I shifted in the bed, sinking back into the warm covers as Anna wrapper her arms around me in a hug.

>"Jus- five more minutes." she sleepily grumbled, pushing her soft bosom against my arm.

>I simply smiled and closed my eyes.

> < - - - - >

>On an old server, forgotten by players, there are two characters, a happy queen and king who ruled a kingdom of data.

>(Apophis End)
