The Price of Arrogance
(A Lustful Taste of Consequences Sequel)
Distress calls weren't something Phil Lore was fond of getting. Which is unfortunate, considering he's been getting a lot of those since he joined the VK Group. If he wasn't so grateful to his friends/employers Vance and Kyle, he would have called it quits and moved on with his life. After all, it's not everyday that someone with abilities to bend truth and reality to an extent comes across people who create tools to reshape human relation as they see fit. And of the times they've done so, they've only done so to help others.
Just as they did for him. Just as they continue to do so for him. Safe to say, it wasn't very difficult for his claims of magic to be believed.
But that was a story for another day. When Phil entered the VK group office, a thin blonde man was sitting shirtless in one of the chairs.
"Aren't you... Earl?" The man looked up at him, his eyes filling with sadness.
Physically, he was who Phil recognized. After all, he was one of those loud mouth magicians with large reserves of magic that kept bragging about doing something big.
But when Phil took a closer look, recognized that a different soul housed this young man. It's almost as if the soul's aura was stuffed and stitched, barely leaking out.
"Believe it or not-"
"You're not Earl." Phil interrupted. "He stole your body, didn't he?"
The man's eyes welled up and he began to sob.
"Yeah... My name's Cooper. I don't know what I did to deserve this... I saw him on Hinge, we talked, and our date seemed like it was going well. Then, when we got back to my place, he started chanting some strange stuff and smacked my chest. I don't remember much of the last part but it felt like I was getting sucked out of my body and blacked out."
Phil crossed his arms. "I see. And what happened next?"
"The crazy psychopath told me that this was permanent and started laughing at me when I begged him to switch us back. Then he threw me out of my own apartment."
A Permanent Body Swap Spell. Yes, Phil was familiar with the concept. There are many different ways to swap bodies. Magic was one of them and with fundamentally different methods, but used for mainly the same wrong reasons. Lust. Revenge. Common ones are often reversible. Permanent ones are harder to come by, often due to the restrictions or limitations in place before it can be achieved. Time Limits, Loss of Magic, Etc. The most common reason why Permanent ones are called such is because the souls are forcefully removed and bound onto the new host body and sealed shut. Hence why the man's soul looked as if they were stitched on. There was little he could do at this point, knowing this soul would most likely be forced to reshape into Earl's. Of course this was all purely from the Magic's side of things. He has yet to observe if Science can change things.
"Kyle? Vance?" Phil called out.
"If you're wondering if the regular nodes worked on him, then no." A young man strode out of the room.
This was... Rico. A man he was warned about in regards to his employers past. Or at least in the surface. He was actually pieces of Kyle and Vance merged as one. Their souls already sitting comfortably merged inside with a part of Rico's existence.
"I tried moving him into this body but the nodes and the computer were blocked by some sort of magic firewall. Vance is trying to do something about it remotely from their hotel but decrypting it might take time."
Phil sighed. "So what do you expect me to do? I can't just Suggest the Magic away. If it's a permanent spell, there's not much I can do. I can make his body bigger at most but Earl's magic will interfere with most of my powers."
'Rico' chuckled and walked back into one of the office's laboratories and came back out with a scalpel.
"You're not suggesting we cut the guy's body, are you?"
Cooper stood up in shock, ready to protest. But Rico held his hand up to calm him down.
"This... is one of our newest inventions using samples of the magic you've let us use. It's a soul scalpel."
He hands it to Phil and he notices that the blade was actually pretty dull. It didn't seem any different from a normal scalpel.
"What's it do?"
"From our research, body swap magic involves a lot of soul stuff. If they say it's permanent, we're assuming that the soul is locked in. This blade should allow you to touch and manipulate any locks to souls the spell made."
Phil frowned. This kind of tech seemed too good to be true. Even for unbelievable science, merging magic with these devices like this seems impossible. "Have you tested it?" He finally asked.
Rico snickered and tossed him a flip phone.
He heard faint sobbing from it and when he opened it, he found the real Rico on the screen. His soul seemed to be shaped like the device and haphazardly stitched on.
"Perfect guinea pig." Rico said smugly.
Phil was almost appalled at the amount of God playing these two were doing. But he let it slide considering how this man was like.
"Okay. But what now? Earl isn't just about to let Cooper back into his apartment or come here if he asks."
"You just leave that to me." Rico smiled. "I'll need you two to follow me to my apartment."
~~~
As it turns out, Earl's arrogance and vanity hugely helped with their plan. It hadn't been a day when they found a new account for Cooper on Grindr, already showing off his biceps like a narcissistic jock bro.
"Nice arms." Rico had told Cooper. The man could only lower his head sheepishly.
Finding him was the easy part. The next part was completely a gamble.
Saw you were in the area. You're pretty hot. You down for some fun time? ;)
The way Kyle and Vance maneuvered this man so easily terrified Phil. But this was enough to get an insatiable response out of Earl.
Bet. Your place or mine?
Drop by mine. I'll send you the address.
Be there in 10 minutes. Rico dropped the phone and shrugged. "This man is so desperate and easy, I almost feel bad."
He turns to Phil, his expression growing serious. "If he's got magic like you, do you think he'll be able to detect us?"
"I've cloaked your apartment. Don't worry. And even if I didn't, Earl isn't known for his intelligence."
Phil was spot on with that. The man tried to play alpha jock the moment he arrived. A little flirting and he already started flexing like a moron. He didn't even notice the node Rico slipped on his neck when he put his hands around him until he began to black out.
~~~
When Earl awoke, he found himself strapped onto a bed and stripped to his underwear. Next to him, he found his old body strapped unconscious as well.
Just at his bedside, he found a familiar face standing over him. "What are you doing here? is the wimp your friend or something? Well too bad. You know as well as I do that the spell I used can't be reversed."
"Au contraire." He produces what looked like a metal scalpel and pointed it at Earl's chest.
He begun muttering in latin before realizing that he didn't feel anything.
"You must have forgotten to read the fine text on your manual. Your spell locks your magic to your old body. Cooper's body is completely powerless." "No. What are you going to do?"
Like a surgeon, Phil began weaving around Cooper's body and cutting at invisible threads. To the human eye, it looked like Phil was rubbing a dull blade around Cooper's muscles. But in reality, he was severing the attachments forcefully weaved into this host.
Earl started to scream before Rico shoved a sock onto his mouth.
He could feel his attachment to this body slowly weaken before finally, he felt somewhat light.
"It should be all good." Phil says. "Their souls aren't bound anymore."
"Alrighty." Rico smacks a node at Earl and Cooper's forehead and begun typing on his laptop. "Science saves the day... Again."
Rico pressed enter and the two bodies jerked upward from the node activating.
Earl felt his consciousness begin to fade, as if his mind was being sucked out. He had no control and he had no way of stopping it. He always believed himself all powerful but he never expected human ingenuity to stop him. And finally, he blacked out.
Earl sat up, his eyes wide as he looked down and staring back at his old, thin body.
"No... No!!" He turned to Phil, who was just standing there. "What did you do?!"
Phil grinned and shoved him back down the bed
Earl opened his mouth, as if chanting once more to cast a spell.
"Quiet" Phil commanded. Earl's mouth closed shut, powerless to Phil's orders.
Phil stripped down and got up on the bed with him.
He leaned in close, their rigid bodies grinded up together.
Earl moaned in despair and lust. His arrogance completely gone.
"Shh..." Phil kissed his forehead, watching the man whimper helplessly.
He removed Earl's underwear and tossed it out of the bed. Their cocks now dangerously close and rubbing onto one another.
Earl closed his eyes as Phil landed a kiss onto his lips. Their tongues dancing together. Earl wanted to get off, despite the pleasure he was feeling. He had no clue what Phil was planning to do to him.
But he did not need to wait long to find out.
"Become one with me." His command reverberated on the room as Earl's eyes opened wide in fear. Phil climbed under Earl's body and clasped both his hands with Earl's as he aligned their bodies together. He gripped tighter as he grinded their bodies harder. From an outside perspective, he looked as if he was hugging Earl tightly from behind and rubbing his body to his back. But the tighter Phil clutched in, the lower Earl seemed to get. He felt his breath rapidly increase as his back began to sink onto Phil's chest. He so desperately wanted to scream. Phil moaned as he felt their bones restructure and organs squelch from inside. He could feel the rise and fall of Earl's chest as he breathed in and out from the fear. As their bodies began to completely merge, Phil felt elation as he saw his arms inflate bigger from the blend. HIs legs and ass ballooning to more than their average ones. He felt his cock slowly meld with Earl's average tool, quickly increasing to a respectable 9 inches and precum spurting from the ecstasy. He leaned his head next to Earl's, the last of Earl's body still around, and let their faces slowly mix. Phil's features took priority, taking what good Earl had to enhance his already respectable face.
Please. No... He heard Earl's thoughts.
"Save it. You did this to yourself." Phil grunted as the last bit of their fusion ended.
He grabbed his rigid cock and tugged furiously as he touched his new body. Earl's body was nothing too special, but he certainly helped make his own bigger and more defined.
His pecs and abs were rock solid and his height had shot up a bit from Earl's lanky frame. Phil moaned as cum erupted out of his new cock. Whatever was left of Earl's voice in his head finally vanishing. His suggestion magic finally merging their bodies and reality into one. Their soul entwined with him as the pilot.
Of course, the real reason he had absorbed Earl was to claim his magic reserves for himself so his powers were easier to manage. But seeing this upgrade was a huge bonus.
After Phil had cleaned up, he left Rico's apartment to sit at the park across when he ran into Cooper. He was shirtless. "Woah. What happened to you?" He asked "What happened to Earl?" "There is no Earl. Just me. The new me." Cooper smiled and walked closer. "Is it alright if I explore the new you? As thanks?" Phil grinned and took his hand. "Lead the way."
~ Hey, Etoile Cyber here! I hope you guys like this one! It's a little tamer than my other stuff. It mostly explores Phil and a bit of his connection with the VK Group. A bit of lore exposition if you may.
