This is a fictional story about a girl, the boy she loves, and the things that keep them separated.

If you read the entire series to completion I'd like to say: thanks for taking this journey with me! I hope you enjoyed it.

Oh this was a great series!
I sort of hope Alina will be back as a pred.

Thank you!

I'm not sure about Alina's future at this point, but I like this world and will likely write other stories within in.

Rebecca seems to have been traumatized as a child, Alina could digest away her pain :) Whatever you dream up in this world will be eagerly awaited.

And so she was able to keep him in her stomach for decreasing periods of time to wean him off of the dependency until he was capable of functioning mostly normally again and he was grateful for her help and fell in love with her and they lived happily ever after THE END.

Haha. That would have been nice, wouldn't it? I think a "magic belly healing" ending would have felt a bit cheap after the extreme emphasis on digestion. Plus, the message of the story would have been entirely different if the epilogue panned out that way.

I feel that Alina and Daniel's relationship wouldn't have lasted if he had recovered. Sure, he'd feel indebted to her for a while, but I believe that Alina wouldn't have learned the lesson she was supposed to from this story. One of the themes I explored with this was the idea of infatuation vs love.

Alina starts the story infatuated with Daniel, and she's twisted herself into trying to be right for him - instead of trying to be right for herself. When she gets thrown into this ordeal her feelings get tested: did she truely love him, or was it just an obsession? I believe that the ending shows that Alina did ultimately love him. Had her feelings only been infatuation, she would have kept him in his pathetic state forever because having him would have been enough to satisfy the obsession. But by making the hard choice to put him out of his misery, Alina gave up the thing she wanted most in the world ~for Daniel~.

She loved that boy, dammit.

All very true and valid points.
You're making me sad though, man! This ending is tragic, bittersweet and fits perfectly, but damn if I hadn't got invested enough that I was kinda hoping for a happy ending :'(

Thank you for a wonderful read. I have looked far and wide for stories that feature this speed/style of vore & digestion, and I don't think I've found any that come close to what you have written here. Well Done!

I’m a bit confused, did she eat and then digest Daniel? So everything she did was for nothing?

I am humbled by your praise and I am really glad you enjoyed this series!

If you haven’t already, I’d suggest you read Collar (https://aryion.com/g4/view/529597). It’s Rebecca's diary from before the events of this series and provides a different (improved, in my opinion) view of chapter 8. I’ve got an outline for a follow up for Rebecca’s story, however, work on it has been put aside until my current project’s first arc is complete.

I have no current plans to create anything new with Alina or Daniel at this time.

Cheers!

This is one of the best vore stories I've read hands down. I really like how the long digestion in this universe gives so much oppertunity for characters, predator and prey, to interact.

Your character building is really spot on as well! All of them had a lot of depth with both likeable and unlikable qualities.

Hopefully we see Rebecca again soon. I really like what you've done with her physiology in this and Collar. She's one of the few preds where her reaction to eating people feels plausible.

Your kind words warm my heart. I'm very glad you enjoyed the series.

Expect more flawed characters and slow digestions from me in the future - those are some of my favorite things.

My goodness, I found this first with uncollar, and that read well as a stand alone story, but I wanted to know more and now that I've read all three of Rebecca's I gotta say that this is so good, and honestly it's inspiring me to start write again. Just seeing the transition Rebecca makes from someone who cried and tried to let out the person forced down get gullet, to someone who used their latest mean to sexually pleasure herself while they were inside her is a believable one, but it all comes together so well because of what happens in uncollar. While I won't tell you what to write I know I'm interested to know what happened with Rebecca and her husband, and to see a scene where Rebecca is confronted by someone after she's gives up on eating other people, not only to see how that could go, but to see Rebecca post predator stage of her life; it would probably be Alina since she's an established character with a reason to not like Rebecca, and possibly go after her some years later. But still, brilliant writing, something worth aspiring to as a writer.

I read this when it first came out and reread it recently. It's still my favorite vore story. Well written with good characters and driving plot. Hell, it was good enough to make me stop lurking and post some praise. Thanks for an excellent read and keep writing! I'll be reading!

Well damn, that was something else. I have no idea how I've managed to miss your writing until now, but this series easily cements you as one of the all-around strongest vore authors I've ever seen. Lots of people handle vore + tragedy well, but it takes real talent to make it beautiful.

This is the kind of stuff I can only hope to reach some day.

I'm definitely looking forward to binging The Fourth Seal when I get some more time, and I'll be eagerly awaiting any shorts/series from you in the future.

That's awfully kind of you to say; I'm flattered. Daniel was my first story from back when I started writing as a hobby almost two years ago (wow, geez, has it really been that long?), and I'm glad it's held up. That said, I think I have improved significantly since then, and I'd love to hear what you think of The Fourth Seal. Cheers!

Thanks! I'd suggest the rest of Rebecca's story in the comment above yours. Or if you're done with this setting, maybe The Fourth Seal or Another Inner World. Daniel is the first book I ever wrote, so the quality will thankfully improve from here!
