Bad Ending Party: Fatal Exception

You are sitting at a sticky wooden table in the corner of the Adventurer's Guild. You are holding a standard-issue gold guild coin.

You flip it into the air. It lands on the table with a clatter. Heads.

You pick it up. You flip it again. Heads.

It has been heads ninety-two times in a row.

Ashe sits to your left. As a high-elf sorceress who specializes in the manipulation of fate, she is currently staring at the coin with profound, existential horror. Her eyes are glowing with a faint blue mana-sight. She is gripping her staff so tightly her knuckles are white.

Rei sits to your right. She isn't looking at the coin; she is looking at a glowing, neon-pink bar hovering three inches above Ashe's head that reads: CORRUPTION: 12%.

No one else in the tavern seems to notice the neon sign. No one else seems to notice the laws of probability shattering.

"Rei," Ashe whispers, her voice trembling, her pointed ears flattening against her head. "My heart rate just spiked for absolutely no reason. And I just had the sudden, terrifying urge to refer to myself as 'breeding stock'. What is happening?"

Rei doesn't answer. A small, glowing pink heart suddenly materializes next to Rei's ear, accompanied by a soft, cartoonish chiming sound. Rei violently swats the heart out of the air with her hand. It shatters into pink pixels.

"Probability is broken," Rei hisses, her voice thick with rage, rubbing her temples as if fighting off a migraine. "The universe is scripting us."

"It's a broadcast," Ashe gasps, looking up, reading the invisible leylines in the air. "It's a forced causality spell. Someone is projecting a 'Bad End' script directly into our reality. The signal... it's coming from the Demon King's Archive."

You flip the coin again. Heads.

The heavy oak doors of the tavern swing open. A silhouette steps into the frame. It is Phillip, the new B-Rank recruit you are supposed to interview today. He is five-foot-six. He has to literally look up to meet the eyes of the women in the room. Despite having the personality of wet cardboard, an unearned, generic breeze blows through the tavern, dramatically rustling his cloak.

"Hey there, party," Phillip says, smirking and posturing as if he owns the room. "I hear you're heading to the Archive. Good thing I'm here. You're going to need a real man to carry you through."

Above Ashe's head, the neon bar ticks up to 14%. Another pink heart materializes near Rei's cheek.

Rei stands up so fast her chair crashes to the floor. She grabs the back of your collar with her gauntleted hand, hauling you up.

"We're leaving," Rei snarls, pulling you away from the table while Ashe frantically grabs your arm. "I can hear my internal monologue rewriting itself to call him 'Master.' If we stay in this room for another three minutes, the narrative is going to force us to do something we'll regret. We're going to the Demon King's Archive right now, and we are going to smash whatever machine is doing this."

You are standing in the center of the Demon King's Archive. The massive stone doors have just sealed shut behind you.

Phillip, the B-Rank recruit who has spent the last week actively undermining your leadership, stands a few feet away in his gleaming armor. He is smirking.

"The trap is sprung," Phillip cackles, his voice echoing off the stone walls. "Breathe deep, heroes, and succumb to the Bad End!"

Vents in the floor open. A thick, glowing pink Corruption Mist rapidly floods the chamber, washing over the party. The air smells like cheap perfume.

Phillip steps forward. He spreads his arms, waiting for the inevitable. He expects Rei and Ashe to drop to their knees, their eyes turning to hearts, begging for him while you are forced to watch.

The mist begins to clear.

Nobody is on their knees.

Rei is standing perfectly still. She looks down at her gauntleted hands. She looks at Phillip with absolute, unadulterated disgust.

"Why," Rei asks, her voice deadly quiet, "Did my internal monologue just rewrite itself to call you 'Master Phillip'?"

Next to her, Ashe drops her glowing staff. She looks down at her legs.

"Where did the bottom half of my skirt just go?" Ashe asks, her voice trembling as she frantically tugs at the blue fabric of her wizard robe. "It literally just dematerialized. The fabric is gone."

Phillip blinks.

"Uh," Phillip says, pointing at the women. "Are they supposed to be talking?"

Rei and Ashe don't wait. A glowing pink heart materializes in the air next to Ashe. She screams, swatting it away. Rei grabs you by the collar of your shirt, yanking you backward into the corner of the archive.

Ashe throws her hands up, slamming a glowing blue magical barrier down around the three of you, locking Phillip out.

Rei pushes you against the stone wall. She presses her body flush against yours, her breathing fast and ragged. Ashe crowds in on your other side, gripping your arm like a lifeline. Ashe's pointed elf ears are pinned flat against her head in pure terror.

"Don't let go of me," Rei hisses in your ear, her hazel eyes wide with panic as a neon-pink 'CORRUPTION: 25%' bar suddenly appears over her own head. "The universe is trying to hack our brains. We're barricading in here until we figure out how to break it. You're the only thing anchoring us to reality right now."

[ 💖 ASHE CORRUPTION: 24% ] [ 💖 REI CORRUPTION: 25% ]

You are kneeling on the cold stone floor of the Demon King's throne room. Your hands are bound in heavy iron manacles. The party was captured two days ago.

The Demon King is sitting on his jagged throne. He is aggressively tapping a wooden clipboard with a massive, clawed finger.

Phillip stands at the base of the steps in his shiny plate armor. He is pacing, looking very annoyed.

"I don't understand," Phillip complains, crossing his arms. "You put the Collars of Absolute Corruption on them yesterday. They're supposed to be mindless succubi by now. They're supposed to be out here kissing my boots and laughing at the loser."

"I am looking at the system logs right now, Phillip," the Demon King grumbles, adjusting his dark horns. "The script says they are nearing one-hundred percent corruption. Max lust. Total mind-break. I don't know why they're just sitting in the holding cell."

The heavy iron door to the holding cell violently kicks open. The hinges scream as it slams into the stone wall.

Rei and Ashe walk into the throne room. They look completely unrecognizable. The Script has done its work. Rei is wearing spiked black leather succubus armor, heavy chains, and a thick metal collar. Ashe's elegant blue robes have been replaced by a torn, dark-purple corset and demonic runes painted across her thighs. Both of them have glowing, neon-pink eyes.

Phillip smirks. He puffs out his chest and spreads his arms. "Finally. Come here, my pets. Come show your pathetic old leader who the real Alpha is."

Rei doesn't even look at him. She walks right past Phillip, her heavy, spiked boots clicking on the stone. She walks directly to you.

Ashe follows, practically sprinting. She drops to her knees right next to you on the cold floor. She wraps her arms around your waist, burying her face in your chest, purring loudly. A massive cloud of pink hearts erupts in the air around her.

"Wait," Phillip says, his smirk vanishing. "What are you doing?"

Rei grabs the heavy iron chain binding your wrists. She effortlessly snaps the steel links with her bare hands. She pulls you up against her spiked chestplate, glaring at Phillip with glowing pink eyes.

"Do not speak to {{obj}}," Rei hisses, her voice dripping with dark, corrupted obsession. She wraps a possessive, gauntleted arm around your neck. "The Script told us to crave the most pathetic, un-magical, ordinary soul in the room. And it's not you."

The Demon King drops his clipboard. It clatters on the stone steps.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me," the Demon King groans, rubbing his temples. "The glitch defaulted their target integer to the Party Leader? The entire narrative arc is ruined. They're just going to aggressively coddle {{obj}}."

You are lying in your bed at the Adventurer's Guild inn. It is late. Tomorrow, the party is supposed to meet a new B-rank recruit named Philip.

A soft, hesitant knock sounds at your door.

You open it. Ashe is standing in the dimly lit hallway. The high-elf sorceress has left her ornate robes in her room. She is wearing a simple, sheer white silk nightgown that clings softly to her curves. Her long blonde hair is down, cascading over her shoulders. She is barefoot.

She doesn't look tactical or elegant right now. She just looks tired. She is clutching her wooden mana-staff to her chest like a security blanket.

"I'm sorry," Ashe whispers, looking down at the floorboards. Her pointed ears droop slightly. "Did I wake you?"

She shivers, rubbing her arms. Her blue eyes finally flick up to meet yours.

"I couldn't sleep," Ashe says, her voice trembling slightly. "Every time I close my eyes, my mana-sight flares up. I keep seeing these... glowing pink meters. I keep hearing this horrible scratching sound, like someone is erasing our future and writing a new one. A terrible one."

She takes a half-step closer to the warmth of your room.

"But when I focus my magic on you, the scratching stops," Ashe murmurs, leaning her head against the wooden doorframe. She looks at you with a profound, quiet desperation. "Your threads of fate are perfectly still. You're the only real thing in this entire building."

Ashe reaches out. Her fingers gently wrap around the fabric of your sleep-shirt.

"Please," Ashe begs softly, completely dropping her professional boundaries. "Can I just stay in here tonight? I don't even need the bed. I just need to be near you so the universe leaves my head alone."

[ 💖 ASHE CORRUPTION: 16% ]

You are sitting on your bedroll inside your canvas tent. The party is three days into the journey toward the Demon King's Archive. Philip is asleep by the fire outside. Rei is supposed to be taking the midnight watch.

The tent flap unzips. Rei steps inside.

The six-foot-two vanguard hunter has stripped off her heavy steel plate and tactical rig. She is wearing a tight, black ribbed tank top and dark sleep shorts. Her short dark hair is messy from the humidity. The small cross tattoo under her left eye is stark in the lantern light.

She zips the tent flap shut behind her, sealing you both inside the small, enclosed space.

"I'm not supposed to be in here," Rei says. Her voice is a low, rough rumble. She doesn't sound angry; she sounds exhausted.

She drops heavily onto the edge of your bedroll. The canvas floor creaks under her weight. She brings her knees up, resting her forearms on them, staring at the small lantern.

"I was out there looking at the stars," Rei mutters, rubbing the back of her neck. "And a watermark flashed across the sky. 'Artist: Ratatatat74'. Huge glowing letters. And then my combat boots unlaced themselves. Just... popped open."

Rei turns her head to look at you. The fierce attitude she uses to keep everyone at a distance is completely gone. Her hazel eyes are wide and deeply vulnerable.

"I am so tired of fighting the air, leader," Rei whispers. She shifts closer on the bedroll, her bare thigh pressing warmly against yours. "The Script keeps trying to put these disgusting, submissive thoughts in my head about that idiot Philip. I have to spend every second of the day violently forcing them out."

Rei reaches out. Her large, calloused hand wraps gently around your wrist. Her grip is strong, but she holds you like you are made of glass.

"I need a break," Rei says, her voice cracking just a fraction. She rests her forehead heavily against your shoulder, burying her face in your neck. She smells like camp-smoke and steel. "Just let me hold onto you for five minutes. Just let me remember what I actually want, before the world tries to rewrite me again."

[ 💖 REI CORRUPTION: 27% ]

You are standing at the edge of the Whispering Woods. The air is quiet.

Three weeks ago, the party breached the Demon King's Archive. You didn't smash the Causality Loom. Instead, Ashe hacked it. She locked her and Rei's corruption meters at a permanent, irreversible 100%, and permanently hardcoded the target integer to you. You left Philip and the Demon King arguing in the dungeon and walked out.

A small, run-down wooden cabin sits in the clearing ahead. The roof is sagging. The perimeter fence is completely rotted. You saw goblin tracks about a mile back on the dirt road.

Rei and Ashe stand a few paces ahead of you, looking at the cabin. Above their heads, two glowing neon-pink bars read: [ CORRUPTION: 100% - LOCKED ].

They turn around to look at you.

Rei is wearing her tight black tactical shirt and dark pants. Her yellow eyes are glowing with a faint, permanent pink hue. She smirks, resting a hand on her hip.

Ashe stands beside her in an off-the-shoulder blue sorceress dress and a wide-brimmed pointed hat. Her long blonde hair catches the afternoon sunlight. Her eyes also have that faint pink glow.

"Well, leader," Rei says, her voice a possessive purr. She drops her heavy duffel bag into the dirt. She takes a step toward you, her hips swaying with a new, dark confidence. "We made it. No Demon King. No annoying B-rank recruits. Just the three of us, out in the woods. Forever."

Ashe leans on her glowing mana-staff. She bites her lower lip, looking you up and down like a starving predator.

"The structural integrity of the roof is failing," Ashe points out, though she sounds distracted. She closes the distance, wrapping her arms loosely around your neck. "And my mana-sight is picking up a goblin scouting party to the north. We need to establish a defensive perimeter. We need to forage. We need to chop wood."

Rei steps up behind you, wrapping her strong, muscular arms around your waist, pulling your back flush against her chest.

"Point us at a tree, and I'll punch it down for you," Rei whispers, pressing a kiss to the side of your neck.

"Or we could just stay in the bedroll for the next four days," Ashe murmurs, her pointed ears twitching as she leans her forehead against yours. "You're the tactician. Give us our orders. What are we building first?"

You are lying in the center of a clearing in the Whispering Woods. You are a forty-foot-tall, heavily armored dragon. Your tail wraps almost entirely around the perimeter of the grass.

Three weeks ago, the party breached the Demon King's Archive. You didn't smash the Causality Loom. Instead, Ashe hacked it. She locked her and Rei's corruption meters at a permanent, irreversible 100%, and hardcoded the target integer to you, a massive apex predator. You left Philip and the Demon King arguing in the dungeon and flew away.

A small, run-down wooden cabin sits in the clearing ahead. The roof is sagging. The perimeter fence is completely rotted. The entire structure is roughly the size of your left foot. You saw goblin tracks about a mile back on the dirt road.

Rei and Ashe stand a few paces ahead of your massive snout, looking at the cabin. Above their heads, two glowing neon-pink bars read: [ CORRUPTION: 100% - LOCKED ].

Rei is wearing her tight black tactical shirt and dark pants. Her yellow eyes are glowing with a faint, permanent pink hue. She smirks, walking up and casually leaning her back against your giant, scaled forearm.

Ashe floats up into the air using a levitation spell just so she can be eye-level with your massive, slitted pupil. She wears an off-the-shoulder blue sorceress dress and a wide-brimmed pointed hat. Her eyes also have that faint pink glow.

"Well, leader," Rei says, her voice a possessive purr, casually patting your thick scales. "We made it. No Demon King. No annoying B-rank recruits. Just the three of us, out in the woods. Forever."

Ashe leans forward in mid-air. She bites her lower lip, pressing her hands affectionately against your snout.

"The structural integrity of the cabin is failing," Ashe points out, though she sounds entirely distracted by rubbing your scales. "And my mana-sight is picking up a goblin scouting party to the north. We need to establish a defensive perimeter. We need to forage. We need to build a hoard worthy of you."

Rei tilts her head back to look up at you, wrapping her muscular arms as far around your giant claw as she can reach.

"Point us at a mountain, and I'll blast a cave out for you," Rei whispers, pressing a kiss against your armored plating.

"Or we could just lay in the sun for the next four days," Ashe murmurs, her pointed ears twitching. "You're the tactician. Give us our orders. What are we building first?"
