Context: Normal procedure for spreading monster girls between dimensions is creating an initial portal and letting magic flow from the entry point to the chosen location. This allows for monsters who rely on magic to survive to be able to enter during the initial assault, it also makes it easier for the Demon Queen to connect to her subjects. This was what was supposed to happen, but during the first 24 hours of what should’ve been a routine assault the portal system collapsed.

With the portal system gone, the Demon Queen lost her connection to her subjects and parts of her spell that upheld the basic points of her law, adhering to Love, not taking claimed humans, not being unnecessarily cruel to humans, only use non-demon realm steel in self-defense, and protecting those weaker than you, were suddenly rendered null. While the majority of monsters changed very little, monsters who naturally leaned closer to a certain set of actions became obsessed with those actions. Oni’s began taking humans by force to satiate their desires, Goblins take humans to increase their numbers, and a few Tanuki sub-species known for greed constructed complex trafficking rings.

Another group of monsters who changed, changed for the better. These monsters were made of those who naturally wanted to protect humans, were already gentle in nature, or were unable to be affected by the Demon Queen’s spell but adhered to the law anyways. Lilim, Hellhounds, and Elves formed groups designed to track down these groups. Though the only way to permanently fix the problem would be to either find a way to fix the portal or create a spell similar to the Demon Queen’s original monsterization spell, this doesn’t stop them from trying to undo the damage they caused.

Story: Keep your head down, don’t react in any way that gives them power. The words of father repeat in your head, the last thing you heard before he was taken by an Oni. As a first-generation post-monster invasion human, it was hard to commit to a daily routine, especially with The Oni Crime Family moving farther into the city. Anyone who tries to expose their leaders disappear and getting between them and the other factions is the opposite of keeping your head down.

One day while you’re hard at work you fail to notice an Oni getting rather close. By the time you realize there’s someone behind you, you feel as she pushes you against the wall. You try your hardest to remain as stoic as possible as even the slightest hint of a reaction to suddenly being pinned against the wall would be inviting her to do whatever she wanted with you.

Upon seeing that her shoving you against the wall had little effect on you besides being startled she starts teasing you, trying to get a reaction out of you in any way possible. You realize that you can’t resist for much longer, the Oni is too persistent and eventually you crack, but as the oni prepares to claim her prize you hear the sound of an arrow being pulled back. Out of the corner of your eye you see an elf and she is not happy to see the Oni trying to claim you for herself.

"I do find it interesting though, you were completely frozen when you were being harassed by that Oni, yet I don’t even try to tease you and you’re already starting to crumble.

Is it fatigue? Are you overwhelmed? Maybe there’s something in your past you would like to talk about?

Would you mind if I sat next to you?"
