Your minion Piggy’s evolution has been modified by an internal source. Class and Thrall Evolution Trees have been combined.
Your minion Piggy has successfully completed her transformation into a Unique Class Demon: Infernal Elf Pet. Please note her evolution summary or status page for details:
Piggy’s Evolution Summary:
- Dark and Chaos attributes has been administered.
- Infernal Elf Pet (Trait): Piggy has been recognized as a devout servant by Eleknar, and her mind has been corrupted. Her opinion of her master Trey Bon will forever remain as ‘Infatuated,’ is not subject to change, and she may not be transferred over to another summoner or warlock. If Piggy dies, she may be resurrected with a blood price of 10,000 souls at any amount of time after death. Piggy may not be resurrected by other means. Piggy may not change classes. +100 to all stats.
- Unholy Script of Abuse (Physical Attribute): Unholy Scripts are written into Piggy’s flesh. Unholy Script of Abuse activates whenever Piggy is physically, sexually or mentally abused and tortured by her master, and grants her a vast but temporary surge in all stats. The bonus length of duration and amount of bonus given is completely dependent upon how much abuse or torture was received, but is capped at a length of 30 days and an amount of 2,500,000%. Bonuses decay over time but may be stacked with one another for each episode of abuse up to a maximum of 2,500,000%.
- Carnage (Master’s Ability): Only activatable by her master. Piggy gains tremendous amounts of aggression towards her master’s enemies, a lack of pain sensation, a vast defensive bonus to magic and physical attacks, the ability to fly, a destructive Chaos Lightning Aura, and +700% to all stats. This ability’s effects last for 2 minutes and may stack with Unholy Script of Abuse bonuses. Upon the end of this ability, Piggy is teleported back to her master’s side. Very long cooldown.
- Lifeline (Trait): Upon near-death experiences and her HP drops to less than 5%, Piggy gains a temporary immortality where she is immune to all damage, all stats spike by 10,000%, and she slowly auto regenerates back up to 100% health. Once she has regenerated, her immortality ends. This trait may only be activated once every 30 days.
- Damned Chef (Class): +40% effectiveness to any Divine Recipes that Piggy learns, +200% effectiveness for any Divine Recipes that are Infernally-oriented [bonuses are already incorporated into descriptions shown below]. Piggy’s ascended cooking options have been removed. Cooking Ideals have been locked due to interference with Piggy’s race of ‘Infernal Elf Pet.’ Piggy’s class of ‘Cook’ has been removed and replaced with Damned Chef. Piggy now gains access to the following Divine Recipes that will give different bonuses whenever it is her that makes them (all recipes have differing cooldowns to create them):
> Flowering Heart of an Enemy: Eating this will grant 37 Strength, but reduces another chosen stat by 12.
> Sinner’s Wine: Drinking enough of this delicious wine will enslave one’s soul to the master.
> Archangel’s Pudding: Drain a celestial archangel’s essence to immortalize yourself for 5 minutes. May not be stacked.
> Feast for the Damned: Create a feast with the specified ingredients [Unicorn, Angel, Fairy, Innocent, Martyr] to give tremendous, randomized, and permanent bonuses to the master and 20 others who eat with him.
> Spiced Fairy Wings: Grant an additional 300 Speed points (+4% of base speed) for 24 hours.
======================================================
Trey glanced back between Piggy’s face that he’d slammed up against the wall, and the Unholy Script of Abuse bonus that’d went up from 0% to 4% in an instant. As soon as he did, her HP bar dropped by 2 points, but her MAXIMUM health went up by 12… and her other stats all increased by 4% as well.
“Fascinating.” Trey muttered aloud as Ashe raised an eyebrow, tapping her fingers along the grimoire she’d been studying to acquire the dark attribute. He let go of her head and stopped pressing her cheek up against the old wood, yanking her hair back to get a better look at the tattoos she’d acquired.
They were scattered all over her body, with a fallen angel’s wing underneath each glowing red eye and scattered runes along her neck, breasts, arms, thighs, and everywhere else. There was a particularly devilish tattoo of a horned skull mid-spine along her back between her shoulder blades, and bending her over - even the bottoms of her feet had a couple tattoos of infernal symbols inked into her skin. Unlike after Juila’s transformation, even the pentagram along Piggy’s forehead was still present - though it’d turned into a shimmering and deep-set black instead of the red.
“Ashe, you try doing it.”
Ashe shrugged, then grasped Piggy by the back of her head and violently slammed the elf’s face into the wood again.
The bonus increased from 4% to 5%... a significant difference than when Trey’d done it. So Trey took another turn of bringing Piggy’s face back and then ramming it into the wood another time, a little harder than he’d done at first, and it went up by 6 to stand at a total of 11%.
He turned around and folded his arms while nodding to Atharost. “Atharost.”
The others were all watching silently by, and in particular - Taen had a look of serious concern upon his features. His lips were drawn into a fine line, and his arms were folded with furrowed brows.
But when Atharost’s right hand summoned a fireball and began to kneel next to the newly created demon, it was Jason who began to protest.
“Trey!” Jason called, out, stepping forward past the hulking devil that Sithis had become and holding both hands out to either side. “What the fuck are you doing!?”
Great. Not again. Trey let out an exasperated sigh, not wanting to deal with Jason’s bullshit today as Atharost began to burn the suddenly screaming infernal elf behind him. “I’m just testing out a theory is all.”
Piggy’s screams erupted to an even louder pitch when Atharost began turning up the temperature, grasping her by the ankles and burning her flesh off little by little as she thrashed on the ground.
Horrified, Jason just stood there open mouthed… but a second later Trey gave the order to halt the torture.
“Stop.” Trey stated with and interested glance down at the elf’s status page. The percentage hadn’t risen at all, and it clarified what he’d guessed at after seeing how Ashe’s attempt had worked - but only slightly. “It looks like if I’m not the one dishing out the punishment, the bonus doesn’t increase. The status page even says when her ‘master’ abuses her she gets the bonus, so if I command someone to do it - it still increases that bonus… but apparently isn’t as much. Then, when I didn’t give Atharost a direct command to torture him but instead gave a vague command with ‘Atharost’, it didn’t do anything at all. That’s all I was getting at.”
Trey poked Rivia with his foot, who was still half asleep and waking up with her back to the wall. “Rivia, heal Piggy for me.”
He felt a hand grasp at his pantleg, and looked down to see Piggy prostrating herself before him.
“Thank you master!” Piggy said expectantly as Rivia yawned and got up to start muttering a prayer. “I would prefer it be you anyways…”
He snorted with amusement and glanced Telipe’s way as she stared from the far corner of the room. “I wouldn’t have it any other way Piggy. I was just curious is all. Are you alright?”
Gingerly, the elf got back up to her feat and examined the new skin around her ankles. She turned around, more to show off her new body to Trey than anything else, and smiled widely with that unhinged look in her eyes. “Absolutely perfect!”
She’d always been hot, but the new toned body of the younger-looking elf along with the tattoos really made her that much hotter.
Juila snorted with laughter, the tall, femininely muscular, red-skinned demoness shaking her head as she did. Extending one of her arms and gripping Piggy by the skull, she picked the elf up off the ground with one hand to examine her better. “Looks like you’ve joined the club. I’m interested to see if you’ll be able to take me when you increase your bonus enough.”
Juila let the elf fall back to the ground with a thud, and casually turned around to go back to playing cards with the others. “Come on assholes! I still have bets to win.”
The others dispersed, and Trey helped Piggy back up to her feet.
“I’m proud of you for ascending.” Trey stated warmly, and the words made Piggy beam with excitement. She nodded with an extremely large smile, bowed once, adjusted her collar and then turned around to run to the corner where she could hide the amount of blushing coming on.
Taen just gawked, seriously disturbed but not as bothered as he’d originally been. It appeared that the elf Trey’d just tortured not only was ok, but she was fucking happy of all things. Unbelievably happy, by the looks she keep shooting over her shoulder Trey’s way. Taen scratched his head in confusion, but laughed it off a second later. “Wow. Ok then. Hey Trey, mind if I have a word with you?”
Trey looked back from where he was conversing with Ezdeath and Rivia, then dismissed the two women and began walking over to Taen who’d been leaning against a support beam. “Yeah man, whatsup?”
Taen shoved his hands into his pockets, glanced over at the others playing cards, and then grinned when he saw Coriana hovering overhead to watch. He was glad the phantom was being kept entertained, and hoped his flesh golem Butcher wasn’t too bored roaming around outside. Was a shame he couldn’t fit the giant creature in there with the rest of them. “I was just wondering if you wanted to learn some necromancy sometime, since you’re the ‘Vatosis Inferna’ and all that. Kinda weird that you get a loophole when the rest of us poor suckers only get stuck with 2 attributes, but hell! That’s fucking awesome and you should take advantage of it. What do you say?”
They’d briefly talked about this earlier, and Trey was glad that Taen was so enthusiastic about teaching him even despite Trey not wanting to talk much about the new evolution. It’d been a bit overwhelming, having certain companions of his react the way they had… but it was definitely a boon to be taken advantage of.
“Yeah, that’d be great.” Trey replied with a genuine smile of appreciation, then took out a pipe from his back pocket and held it up. “Want to talk it over while smoking with me?”
Taen grinned and nodded, extending his hand as Trey lit the pipe with a chaos flame. “Sure thing! Do you know anything about the fundamentals?”
“Psshhhh… No.”
“Well then we have a lot of work to do. But that’s ok! I have some shortcuts in necromantic theory that should help you understand a lot faster than when I was taught. Let’s take a walk now that the storm is cooling down, and we can go over it in detail.”
***
The storm had put them a day behind, but it’d given Trey more time to study necromancy under Taen’s guidance - and Ashe was nearly done with acquiring her Dark attribute. Even with the time delay though, they had still reached the ruins of Mazarine in 72 hours after that and they’d already been there 2 days. Bann had called this one of the ‘small’ cities of Arthas, and it made Taen genuinely curious about what the largest ones were like.
Mazarine was easily the size of New York City, Chicago, Dallas, or any other of the large cities back on Earth. The ancient buildings of what was once a glorious empire still stood as beacons of grandeur against the skyline. Skyscrapers, castles, apartments, and other various types of buildings were scattered about in a maze of stonework that had at least somewhat resisted the decay of time. The party members had seen the tallest of the buildings miles away and had hastened their approach until they came up to the edge of the city. They had then worked their way inwards and set up camp on the fourth floor in one of the skyscrapers - an enormous rectangular building that seemed to be created from a combination of steel, stone, and a strange dark wood that appeared to be somewhat immune to the crawl of time.
“What is that?” whispered Taen as he and the others looked down from their ruined balcony view - far above the ancient city streets in the dim light of the overcast sky - to peek over at the monster down below. “It has got to be the ugliest creature I’ve ever seen in my entire life.”
The beast Taen was referring to was the size of a large elephant having a multitude of worm-like extensions with hooked claws coming out of its large gray blob of a body. It looked something like a slug. Seven non-uniform mouths adorned various sides of the creatures and it seemed to have no eyes or ears. It was currently feeding on the remains of something half its size as it wormed its way over the rubble below - and at a decent speed for something so big.

“That’s a big boy,” stated Trey with a smirk and putting his hands on his hips. The black form-fitting armor he had was fully enveloping him now, with only his head above the bridge of his nose and his fingertips exposed. “Looks like one of my ex girlfriends.”
“You probably would mate with something like that,” came the reflex response from Ashe to the amusement of everyone else there, but even as Ezdeath laughed - the succubus aggressively grabbed Trey’s ass and caused him to yelp like a surprised little girl.
This only made everyone laugh even harder.
Within the next few seconds the creature had pulled itself out of sight into the next street, behind the ruins of a large two-story building in front of them.
“So we’ve been here two days and don’t really know what to do with ourselves,” mumbled Taen. “I’ve been so caught up in getting to Ornthas that now that I’ve gotten here, I don’t know what I’m doing. And we have yet to find any packs of ghouls that are NOT ravenous for Bann to talk to about any leads…”
“All we can do is keep trying,” said Jason calmly, brushing his hands through his blonde hair. “Believe me when I say that we’re not in any rush. You can take all the time in the world, we’re not going anywhere.”
Taen didn’t know what the implication of that was, so he turned around and asked. “What do you mean by that?”
Jason exchanged a surprised look with Ashe. “You really don’t know? Well we have bounties on our heads after breaking out of a prison in the kingdom of Yosemar and torching a palace. Their king, King Hethemon, was hunting down Earthborn back when we had the immortality trait going on and was trying to experiment on us. Long story short he didn’t like it when Atharost blasted us out.”
Ashe gave Atharost a high five with a smirk.
“Yes… I supposed Atharost can be useful occasionally…” remarked Sithis as Atharost turned to scowl back at the larger demon.
Napoleon scowled up at the two hulking monstrosities, not wanting to be left out. “I I more useful though. You two ugly ugly.”
Ashe giggled at the display, and bent down to pick the imp up. “Of course Napoleon, we are ever grateful for your part to play in breaking us out as well.”
She gave Rivia a wink, and continued petting the imp’s head before handing him over to the culn priestess. Rivia and Napoleon were always on rather friendly terms, and whenever Napoleon got flustered about anything - it was a go-to for Rivia to hold and console him.
“You’re the bravest one here!” Rivia stated, giggling as she continued to pet Napoleon just as Ashe had been.
“How much are we talking here?” asked Coctim thoughtfully as a strong gust of wind whipped through the upper floors of the skyscraper, causing his robes and those of the others to flip about in the breeze. The scrawny mage was rubbing his bearded chin vigorously as he asked.
Jason raised an eyebrow, immediately suspicious of Taen’s acquaintance. He didn’t know Coctim, Claire, or any of their sailors very well - so maybe talking about this had been a bad idea. That said, Jason seriously doubted that Coctim or his men would be able to handle the reset of them or even come close to it. “20,000 gold pieces for Trey’s head, an additional 20,000 for the Talsh’Noc’Un, and a paltry 1,300 for the rest of us apiece. Though don’t go getting any ideas Coctim.”
Coctim whistled loudly before the others glared at him to quiet down. The city was for the mostpart dead silent, and they had already had a few close encounters with various species before securing their spot in the tower.
Coctim cleared his throat, “100,000 isn’t nearly enough for me to even think about trying.”
“Smart choice.” Rivia said with ice in her words, and the gorgeous demoness made it a point to look him up and down as if assessing how she was going to sacrifice him later on.
“Don’t worry…” Ezdeath’s melodic voice stated as the succubus came around to put an arm across Rivia’s shoulders. “We’ll eat him together if he tries anything… You can have the liver, and I’ll take the heart. Is it a deal?”
Rivia chuckled malevolently, though she was rather surprised at the friendly physical contact Ezdeath was initiating. “It’s a deal.”
Coctim’s face immediately paled as the two demoness babes evaluated him like a potential dinner plate, and Taen did a good job of hiding his snickering from the sidelines.
The room they had chosen as their base of operations was decent sized, more than enough room to fit the entire crew. It had a balcony with a good view of the city and seemed to have been the living quarters of someone once upon a time. The ceiling was thankfully quite high along both the room and the hallways, so Sithis and Atharost didn’t have a hard time maneuvering around. Even the zombies had come inside and were mulling around, and only Butcher hadn’t been able to fit.
Old dusty and rotting remnants of what was once furniture had been cleared out by the company to make room for their own supplies, and the doorframe led out into a short hallway before hitting a flight of old stone stairs that led up and down to traverse the rest of the building. Bann was currently sitting on those stairs having a chat with Izumi.
“Hey Bann, is it safer to travel during the day or at night in the cities here?” asked Taen curiously while making his way from the balcony over to where they sat. “Since we’ve only just got here and haven’t done a lot of exploring other than finding ourselves this cozy little nook, we should probably start exploring. At the very least we can go dungeon diving while we try to find anyone that may give us leads to where the ring or wraith is.”
“I’ve gotta admit, this situation seems pretty hopeless in terms of actually finding an itty bitty ring here out of an entire country.” commented Izumi with a skeptical frown. “You could spend your entire life trying to find it and not succeed.”
Taen mimicked the frown and Bann chuckled while rubbing his bald head with one gauntleted hand.
“There is no safe time to travel. Night will bring out different predators than the day, but they’re equally as dangerous.” Bann scratched his chin thoughtfully. “While still with the packs, we didn’t have a set time to travel. The cities are much more dangerous than the rest of Ornthas for numerous reasons. They provide a plethora of nesting opportunities now that the original residents are long dead.”
Trey interrupted across the room. “Yo Bann, Claire, remember to take those plague remedies Jason created for you. We don’t want you to be contagious when we eventually leave Ornthas so it’s important to remember to do it.”
They had already taken two regimens of treatment for the plague in their quest to permanently remove it from the two ghouls. Bann hadn’t ever asked for it but was more than happy to receive it when offered.
“Master,” Sithis held up one of his four clawed hands before the ghouls could respond. “Are we not supposed to go over my evolutionary trees together? We still haven’t discussed my abilities, and it is important for you to know such things.
“And WE are supposed to have sword practice!” protested Ezdeath with her armored arms crossed. “You’re not going to survive much longer against any stronger enemies if you don’t learn true swordsmanship instead of waving Talshy around like a toy!”
“Agreed.” Rivia stated flatly. “You need training.”
Trey sheepishly smiled at the two women as they scowled his way. “Oh yeah… Sorry Taen, the necromancy we talked about earlier is going to have to wait for today. I forgot that I have plans with Sithis and Ezdeath. We’ll do the treatments later tonight before we head out to explore more of the city. Maybe we can even go to one of those vaults Bann knows of!”
Bann laughed. It was a rarity for the ghoul, but he was growing fond of the group and had especially taken a liking to Izumi. He had forgotten what it was like to have people to talk to without the fear of being set upon in his sleep. “Not a problem. We will do it later, and I will be happy to guide you all to one of the vaults later tonight. Before we go - let's be sure to eat. I'm starved.”
The ghoul motioned over to where the three naked women: Piggy, Juila and Telipe, were all beginning to prepare their meal as they took out cooking supplies, food and began to set up for a fire. "Guess they're already on it though!"
Talsh’Noc’Un drifted over to where Trey sat and leaned its frame against the wall. “I wish… to see what these… ‘evolution trees’ are too…”
“As do I!” said Atharost as he plopped himself next to Trey. “I’ve been wondering when you’d take a look. It’s exciting to see!”
Ezdeath scowled as Atharost had taken the seat she wanted, but quickly sat down next to Trey on his other side before Sithis or Rivia could make a move. She stuck her tongue out at Sithis, and the huge winged devil merely stared at her as if she was stupid.
“Anyways… let us begin, master.” Sithis encouraged Trey to open up his status page. “Hopefully it will not take too long.”
