Hello and welcome to this interactive story! I’m Arthotus, your host, and I’ll be running this shin-dig as long as I can muster the energy to do so! Firstly, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed my work, but we’re not done just yet! This will be an interactive story, which means that after most chapters, both at the end of the chapter and in the description, I’ll put up one or more questions for you, the audience, to collectively decide on and affect the story moving forwards! Simply comment the answer you’d like to see from the options listed under the question, and I’ll integrate the most popular answer into the story moving forwards! If you’d like to keep your involvement private, you can also directly Private message me your vote and I’ll count it that way as well! Feel free to answer all or only select questions, but make sure to label the answers as I indicate so that I know which questions you’re voting for!

Now, to explain this specific story, our main character was a shut in and depressed porn addict who has died and been reborn into the body of a Dragon! You’ll help him navigate his new life as the most powerful mythical creature of legend, as he does his best to grow from a younger, more modest Whelp into an Ancient Wyrm whose name will resonate through millennium to come! At least, that’s the theoretical endpoint of the story, but let’s see how far we get, and where the audience decisions take us, shall we?

As you can see from the rest of my gallery, I’m mainly a Female prey writer, but in the interest of the story, all kinds of prey are fair game to at least be implied, and through any of the more sexual scenes will be Soft Vore, expect there to be at least hints of violence and tickling the edge of Hard vore occasionally, though I will try to steer clear as much as I can. Sexual content in specific will likely range from the already showcased male/female to female/female and the full gambit of bestiality, both our decidedly non-human MC having sex with people and monsters, as well as other beasties having their way with (sometimes willing, but likely not always) young women. Most vore will be fatal, with revival being rare and difficult, likely reserved for a few key characters, so if the option to devour a character is voted in, don’t expect them to come back! Lastly, I do not write scat, so do not expect more than the briefest mention of disposal here and there.

As for update schedule and voting time, I won’t be setting anything in stone. I find putting hard limits on myself is counter-productive, and as already mentioned, this project will last as long as it lasts, meaning that once the creative well and passion run dry, that’s it, sorry! I will leave at least a few days for voting, with a general goal of updating about once weekly, but don’t be alarmed if it’s a little faster or slower than that general benchmark. I will edit the chapter descriptions to reflect when the vote is closed, so check that to make sure your vote will count.

Got all that? Feel free to ask me any questions you still have and I’ll do my utmost to answer them! Hope to see your votes!
__________

The Main Character’s Dragon Name: Nathan, while a perfectly fair name for a person, isn’t exactly worth of a full blooded Dragon. Let’s see if you all can’t come up with something a little better, since I’m pretty bad at names, haha.

Vote 1 – Open Suggestion – Select the Dragon’s Name!

Caravan versus Bandits versus Dragon!: The main character is in search of two things at the moment: food for himself and clothes for Evelyn. He was originally planning to ‘tax’ a Caravan, but he’s noticed such a train of merchants on the verge of being attacked by bandits. Being a Dragon, even a young one, he has little to fear from any random group of humans, so he can more or less choose whichever option he can live with, whether that is to help or harm one or both sides!

Vote 2 Options
A: Prevent the conflict by peacefully intercepting the Caravan.
B: Wait until battle is joined and help the Caravan.
C: Wait until battle is joined and help the Bandits.
D: Wait until the battle has concluded and destroy the victors!
E: Wait until the battle has concluded and ‘peacefully’ approach the victors.



Vote Examples: Please vote by commenting on this chapter or by sending me a PM in the following formats, or something close enough that I can understand what you’ve voted for.

Ex 1:
1. Sassifrazz
2. A.

Ex 2:
“Wow Great Story! I think you’re a wonderful and talented writer who is also very handsome!

My vote for the name will be:
‘Bo’

And for the second vote...I’ll go with B, since I don’t trust the bandits!

Keep it up!”

Ex 3:
Name: Emperor Geolith the Terror of Violet Death
Caravan: D - Wait until the battle has concluded and destroy the victors!

VOTING IS CURRENTLY CLOSED Thank you for your interest.

Simple is best.

2. A
Not out of any sense of moral highground, I just think it would be funny to fuck with the bandits by steering things away from them.

Ok, so... Vote 1. I think his name should be Betty. But since I doubt that enough people will get that reference to actually be chosen I'll go with "Kurask" instead.

Vote 2. B, since we MAY need to buy some good will from the Heroine that we tried to eat before taking control of the Dragon. Since, y'know, she may want vengeance. Heroes can be petty sometimes...

1) abstain, I have no strong feelings
2) B, with the obvious intent of needling for a reward for his protection.

1. Other poster had a good name Ill vote for, Kurask.
2. B, getting goodwill is the best option for allies, goods, and a better reputation. Using that can help in the long term for survivability.

1.Kurask

2.B
His human side gets to play hero, protecting the caravan while the dragon side can go all out on the bandits and the caravan folk may even give him tribute!

Call me crazy, but this goddess Nova doesn't seem very... good. (Credit for pointing out the serious issue of a bad guy being willing to kill the keystone of their world on a whim, though.)

Well, whatever.

1. Kurask

2. A.
