Bex and Jo are off to a year at the fabled
…until suddenly, it isn’t. Minutes after they arrive, the
world goes black, inhuman growls sound out from the darkness, and screams of
pain are cut short by the sounds of ripping meat and boiling blood.
METIS ZONE is a short JRPG made with RPG Maker MZ. I am providing the Windows version of the game, as well as a video Let’s Play for those who use different systems, or who would rather just read the dialogue. I will warn this is mostly equivalent to an alpha-build of the game concept: it’s perfectly playable, and the story is complete. But as with my previous RPG Maker project, I am using stock assets pre-packed with the Maker program, there is no music, the story is very short and to the point, I ended up not including some features I initially had planned, the battle system is somewhat lopsided, and my use of an enhanced lighting engine is inelegant at best. I hope you will still find it playable and enjoyable nonetheless.

I am aware this is a game no one asked for and no one wanted, and I’m not entirely sure why I felt so compelled to make it. Perhaps because over the years, despite my attempts at clean breaks, I have never quite been able to rid myself of the impulse to combine the Sex Mage World with the superhero and cosmic horror elements that inform the rest of my settings. It’s just in my nature to make grand connections between my worlds via lore, and the Dark God has come to haunt the entirety of my erotic Multiverse as an easy link in the background.
Ultimately, my flip-flopping on these concepts has lead to me never really doing them justice. I'm not sure this game does an adequate job of it either, but it's at least an attempt to finally portray a Terror Zone in an actual story, and not just lore notes or flash fic glimpses.
Don't worry, though. I made the Sex Mage Multiverse for a reason. The Sex Mage World seen in this game is not the one most stories take place in, and I don't plan to let cosmic horrors and crazy cultists infest the regular SMW stories again. This was just something I had to get off my chest, because I never gave the concept it's due when I had the chance before.
This was a story I began seven or eight years ago, got stuck, worked on it bit by bit over the next few years, then ultimately put it away with the thought I'd come back to it again another time. Instead, I kind of forgot about it. Looking back over my old documents, I found it again. I have no interesting in continuing this anymore, but I liked what I got so far enough, so I may as well share it.
This story is much like Sacred Stars in that it was an anime-inspired genre fiction concept, in this case, the idea of a shonen-style secret magical battle tournament, that I tried to infuse with supernatural femdom elements. The most immediate and obvious parallel is Fate/Stay Night, although I've never actually read a Fate story.
The main problem with this story is, like a lot my old ideas for erotic adventure tales, I started off with an erotic concept (in this case a woman uses magic to sexually conquer her opponents during a magic anime fighting tournament) but the genre fiction elements pretty quickly overtook the story, in a way I wasn't as ready to tackle as I had originally thought. I ended up writing myself into something of a corner when it came to keeping the battles creative and interesting while still trying to maintain any kind of eroticism past the early parts; in true shonen fashion, the opponents continued to get wilder and more powerful, and almost right away, sex stops being a viable tactic directly in battle.
Looking back over it now, I still like what I wrote, but I think I can safely say I have no interest in coming back to finish it. Hopefully what's here will still interest you; if nothing else, the sex scene is classic Salamando-style Supernatural Femdom!
Okay, so the point of this post is that I'm basically going to try taking some suggestions for material. If you are interested, please read the rest of this post before pitching in ideas.
So, a story concept for the Sex Mage World that I have had for a few years now has been the idea of a Winesburg, Ohio-style mosaic story of showing a long chain of various cock-teasing events throughout a particularly horny day in a single town. What this essentially boils down to is a sort of "cock-tease telephone game", where every chapter is a self-contained, Just A Little Scene-esque flash fic, but with the gimmick that a side character in one Scene will be the main focus of the next Scene, or the events of one Scene will be sensed by characters elsewhere in town and inspire them to get up to their own mischief.
For example: Two teen girls are driving down the main street and sense some particularly horny boys in a passing van. They cast some tease spells as they laugh about how silly boys are, edging the boys right in front of their mother, whose driving the car! The next scene follows the flustered mother as she tries to resist the good vibes coming from her horny boys cocks (and maybe discreetly slips them a few spells anyway), and when she gets home, she takes out her horny mischief on her blue-balled neighbor. The next scene follows the blue-balled neighbor trying desperately to not ejaculate all over his sister's clothes; he's supposed to do the laundry as part of a deal he made with her, and he has to get it done before she gets home, but how can he while some mysterious cock-teaser teases his cock! And this ends up leading to some other thing, and that leads to another, etc.
I don't have any particularly deep narrative through line like Winesburg, but there may be a couple characters who frequently pop up across several of the stories, wherein following their sub-plot would be the closest thing to a "main plot". But I get ahead of myself.
Now, while I like this idea, the problem here is that in order to do it, I must come up with something like thirty to forty Just A Little Scenes all in a row, in a short time. However, Just A Little Scenes have always come to me on completely random whim, it takes years to build up enough scenes to justify a full collection of them, and this would be the first time I've made an attempt to Martian Chronicles a bunch together into a coherent sequence. And as I've made known, since the end of 2019, I've been in the erotic inspiration gutter, so I've only managed to come up with maybe two or three interesting half-scenes to include in this collection since conceiving of the idea. I am running on vapors and pulling teeth trying to come up with more.
I have also made it known that I am notoriously incapable of taking suggestions or doing commissions. But, as my weary, jaded ass refuses to get younger, I'm getting at the end of my rope. This is basically one of my two only plans left for an SMW project, and I can't seem to muster the mojo to come up with anything beyond the five hundredth rote "Sex Mage laughs as she Tease Spells her poor neighbor's boner" scenario. Which is probably what half the book is going to be anyway, and that's fine, but I'm having trouble coming up with engaging versions of that template.
So, as an experiment, I am opening the floor to suggestions on this one, to see if I can wring some blood from this stone. I do, however, have some caveats:
1) I intend to sell this as an e-book exclusive. This was always the plan, but now, part of the point of this exercise is to see if I'm at all capable of cold-writing material for compensation. Depending on how this goes and how I feel about things afterwards, I may find myself more capable of doing commissions than I thought. Or I might hate it and be assured to never try this again. We'll see.
2) Please suggest something that will fit within the framework detailed above. Do not just ask me to write some other story, or give me an outline for your own entire version of the book. I mainly just need some basic scenarios from which to build some simple scenes, and I'll see how I can duck tape them together.
3) There is no guarantee I will use your suggestion. Some stuff I just do not want to write about. But we'll see what comes up.
4) This could take awhile, between how long it takes to get enough suggestions I feel are workable, and just finding the time/energy to do the work. If it ends up being a bust, I'll let you know by the end of the year.
5) If you end up having a ton of ideas of your own, I would ask you to limit your suggestions to only five scene ideas for now, just to allow more people the chance to get their thoughts in.
And I guess that's about it. If you have a Little Scene idea that would fit into the theme of a "horny day in the life of a random Sex Mage town", please consider leaving a suggestion in the comments! I guess I'll leave this open for a month to see what builds up, but if I end up starting work on this over the summer, I may keep taking ideas if I get later entries and need to fill more chapters.
Finally, I have compiled a little anthology for my Chastity Curse series! This ebook includes the six stories on this website as well as two more new shorts! If you like my work and wish to support me, please consider making a purchase! You can find the book here on Smashwords:

After much rumination, I have decided it is once again time to split up the blog. I know this will be a little inconvenient for some readers, but I feel the time is long overdue. Sex Mages and Other Strangeness, while convenient as a one-stop shop, has gotten truly cluttered with content. Despite my attempts to organize the Tables of Content as effectively as possible, just the fact that there are so many subdivisions of settings and categories scattered across the archive can make things confusing and frustrating to navigate.
Moreover, with my decision to revamp the Omnymphotents as my main project with a fresh start, I may as well give the property its own blog, so it doesn’t end up burying, or getting buried under, the Sex Mage World and Erotic Adventures Universe content.
As such, I’ll be moving all Omny-related content to the new blog, with some minor touch-ups or a bit of polish to fit the new direction. I may keep some posts here for the short term just to archive some comments, but eventually it will all get deleted. Thankfully, there's not really that much to transfer, so it shouldn't be a big loss for this site.
I have also been considering doing some revisions of a few older, previously unrelated stories, refitting them into the Omnyverse setting. However, I will not be erasing the old versions in this case, so no worries there.
Presently I’m not sure if this will also include any of the image-based content, such as Captions or Mini-Comics, for the Omnys. I’d kind of like to keep those in a separate Gallery section rather than the main blog feed, but Blogspot doesn’t seem to really have that kind of feature, so for right now, that stuff will stay on the Caption Stories blog till I figure out where to put it.
Lastly, while it is not currently a priority, I have for a long time been considering separating the Erotic Adventures Universe content to its own archive blog as well, and thus Sex Mages and Other Strangeness would specifically be for posting Sex Mage related content. Sex Mages are by far the thing I’m most known for and what people seek my site for, and the EAU is long retired at this point. So, along with some other really old content of mine, I sometimes feel that for the sake of further streamlining things, it would just be better to dump it all into its own archive. Like I said, though, it’s not a priority right now, so I’ll worry about it once I get the Omny content squared away.
Becky let out a bored sigh as she flopped down on the couch. Next to her, Josh was looking up something on his phone, patiently awaiting the ring of the door bell. The young couple was waiting for their friends to arrive so they could go on a double-date, get some dinner and see a movie.
It wasn’t like it was a big deal, but Becky always get a little antsy waiting for people. And if her psychic senses were to be trusted, Jenny and Frank were going to be a little late getting here. She needed something fun to distract her for a few minutes.
She glanced to Josh, who had not reacted at all to her subtle little sigh, wrapped up as he was in his phone. He was all dressed up to go, so there wasn’t much point in getting frisky. Which of course, never stopped her before!
