*** Mystery. Perception. Hunt. (Part 1) ***
Following the collars' pulls we found ourselves at the fountain again.
Our nipple pendants melted away but the rings stayed. Our jock-straps expanded back into speedos, except for Adler who stayed nude.
<Let's take scores. Adler got a meager 4 kilos (9 lbs), Doyun managed to grab 6 (13 lbs).>
With a total of 15kg more on his frame (33 lbs) Doyun was looking buff. He was clearly in fitness model territory. Adler incidentally had the same total and looked great with it, but his height demanded more mass until he could be truly buff.
<7 kilos for Tao (15.5 lbs). And our winner is San with 8 (17.5 lbs).>
I grew so much. I posed throughout my transformation, compelled to show off to my mirror image. I had an incredible 68kg now (150 lbs), on a 165cm body (5'5'').
I had shot right past fitness territory and into the junior bodybuilder realm. My erection returned instantly.
Touching myself was unreal. All that mass. Each flex made he shiver with almost painful joy at the defined tendons moving under my tan skin.
"I'm fucking huge."
"Yeah, man," said San. "We're so fucking big."
I turned to look at him and had to fight the urge to drop to my knees to worship him. He was a short, thick, hourglass-shaped 72kg teen muscle god (159 lbs) with flawless skin, a mohawk, nipple rings, a collar, a speedo and a tramp stamp.
We both knew what we wanted.
San and I made out. His overeager, uncoordinated, saliva-filled kisses were worth feeling him up and having his thin fingers kneading my pecs. His ass felt divine in my cupped hands.
<Punishments are dealt out by the following criteria. Tao didn't hit hard enough once, San didn't hit hard enough twice as did Doyun. Each boy except Tao stopped a game, with Adler having stopped two.>
"I got 50 twice!" shouted the tall boy. "It's not fair."
<This gives Tao one punishment. Two for Adler and three for the others. We'll spin the wheel for you now.>
"Oh no," Doyun said.
<Since every boy gets at least one, lets do that with a collective punishment. You all get a little color to your style >
I saw the change in the mirror. My black hair shifted to a bright pink color. I tore on my hair to see the roots. It looked like I wasn't just died, rather I seemed to have naturally pink, iridescent hair now.
All my fellow muscle hunks were altered the same way. The look was... something I'd take a while to get used to.
<For Adler that leaves one spin... Ah, the style theme continues.>
The straight boy's hair had changed to a color like mine already, but now it also vanished partially to form a narrow mohawk. It was similar to San's but ran straight instead of diagonally, and was long enough to stay shaggy.
"Fuck," he said.
<Moving onto Doyun. What will it be? Open wide.>
The chosen boy got a tongue piercing slapped into his mouth. Then the voice announced that he lost a centimeter of erection length.
This left only one boy.
<San loses a centimeter too. Simple but effective. Did we take one from each challenger now? I believe so. And what will San's finale punishment be? Oh, that's a good one.>
The short boy got a dick piercing and cried out in surprise. A ring right through the dick head, visible as an outline in the speedo.
<Since he's the winner, he gets to have a go at the Wheel o'Fortune again,> said the voice and the familiar disk emerged from the green waters.
San rearranged his pierced dick inside his speedo and stepped up to the wheel.
This time it landed on double ass, which made him grow by a kilo on each cheek. It was amazing to see how much muscle mass a single kilo could be, especially on his small frame. His buttocks stood out as if San's entire being had been created specifically to be assfucked.
San grabbed his ass and made it bounce with a wide smirk.
"Fuck no," Adler whispered at his mirror image. "I don't want to look like this. I look like a fag freak. I can't let anyone see me like that."
I laid my arm across his shoulder, grinning at my own mirror image. "Think about it this way. If you do well here, you'll get so buff that no one'll give you shit about anything."
The tall – no longer blond – boy swallowed. "Right... I just have to get big enough. No one fucks with a muscle god."
Statues shifted to point us toward a tower. Our collars pulled before we could even react. As we stumbled into the gates, I saw the inscribed runes: Mystery. Perception. Hunt.
We were pulled into darkness and when the gate closed behind us, even the gentle green glow was gone.
<First floor. Find the way to the second. Oh, and if you want muscles you better collect gems along the way.>
"Um," San made. "I found a wall. This room is tiny."
"Actually," Adler said, "here's a corner. I think there are two ways out of here."
"Guys," I said. "It's a labyrinth. We're here to find stuff. So... do we split up?"
"I dunno," San said. "It's kinda scary."
"But it's a competition," Doyun said. "I'm not sharing my gems."
"Fine," I said. "I'll go... left. Pick your own exits. Good luck."
Of course I'd have loved to go with San and hold his hand in the dark but Doyun was right. What would I have done if we had found a gem together? Let San have it? Unlikely.
With sweaty hands and knees I felt along the ground before me, always sticking close to the right wall. The tower was filled with narrow, winding corridors and I soon stopped hearing the other's breathing behind me.
Not long after, I laid hands on my first gem. I was momentarily stunned by a red flash of light, then it flung itself from my hand onto my collar where it stuck. Convenient. Except...
My balls got crushed by an invisible fist. I gasped and clutched my crotch but there was nothing there causing the pain.
As an experiment, I tore the gem off and the pain ceased. Could I carry it instead of wearing it?
The moment I tried to move along, the gem slipped away and dropped back to where I had found it.
With a few deep breaths, I waited until the pain had subsided and picked it up.
As soon as it touched my collar again, the ball crushing was back. It felt as if someone had a hand on each of my balls and put pressure on them as if trying to make them pop.
I was instantly sick and dizzy. Crawling forward, I heaved as I moved and my sweat production must have been increasing from the stress.
Instead of carefully searching along the ground, I rubbed along the wall to hopefully find the exit quickly.
My knee hit another gem. I wanted to at least try it on. If it was too bad, I'd leave it behind.
The moment it came into contact with my collar, invisible teeth bit down on my nipples. I let out a muffled scream and held still, waiting to grow accustomed to the pain.
Instead, it got worse. The bites – or claws or clamps – slid into an unbearable position along my nipples to dig in from my chest's skin to the nipples tips.
With my eyes watering, I pulled myself up on the wall and stumbled forward. Every single kilo was important. I just had to find that fucking exit right now.
It might have been only a minute but it felt like way longer of course. Those things always do.
I heard a suppressed scream to my left. One of the boys must have found a gem. Should I call him lucky?
The "things" on my balls and nipples repositioned. This renewed surge of pain made me sway against the warm bricks and whimper like a dog.
"Hey," Doyun said. "Who's there?" His voice was coming from below so he had to be on the ground.
"Me, Tao," I answered. "How many are you on?"
"That's my first."
"Ball crushing?"
"Yeah... fuck."
"Just think of the muscles."
"Fuck, I'm trying. How about you?"
"Second gem, by now. I'll go the other way. See you upstairs. Good luck."
I left him and his rapid breathing behind and turned around a few corners. By that point, the chest and crotch pain dully radiated into my entire torso and I was too dizzy to let go of the wall.
I stepped on another gem. Should I? I had to at least give it a try.
The ground under my feet became hot like beach sand on a sunny day. I had to hop.
Half-jumping, half-stumbling between walls, I softy cried out with every step, more and more huffing in my search for the exit.
Wildly flailing to make sure I wouldn't run past the way to the next level, I made it along a few more corridors. This place was definitely bigger than it had looked on the outside. We were probably not in the tower itself anymore, but had wandered into the castle walls.
My attempt to construct a mental map was made difficult by the torture so my thoughts just moved in circles without getting to any conclusion.
Then I bumped into a sweaty muscle twink who was a lot taller than me.
"Adler?"
"Yeah. Tao?"
We both hopped from one foot to the other, meaning he had to be wearing at least three gems as well.
"Found a way out?" I asked, even though the answer was obviously going to be no.
"Yeah."
"What? Really?"
Adler confirmed. "Two turns left, the one right. I need to backtrack later. But I want more gems. I'll take the fucking pain if it makes me big."
My motivational speech must have worked better than expected. Regardless, I now had a way out.
I was so disoriented that I slipped into a nook before the actual bend left, where I hit another gem.
Well, by now I was steps away from the exit so I might as well take what I could get.
The fourth one was odd. I can only describe the sensation as burning. As if rough ropes were being pulled across my ass and back.
My skin felt just fine but the pain kept increasing, like the ropes were getting pulled faster and faster. When my ball and nipple tormenters repositioned, I was hit by a fresh pain influx from the front, too.
The staircase up wasn't hard to find, since it emitted a soft green glow. I rushed up into new darkness... and onto yet more warm stone ground. The gems were gone, and more importantly, so was the pain.
I waited in the emerald shine, recovering until I heard the host again. None of the other boys had passed me by.
<Everyone's found an exit now. Level two: Find each other again. Once you find a fellow challenger, seal the deal with a deep kiss on the lower parts for a surprise gift later. Only when the gang is complete, will the third level open.>
Still aching but refreshed, I walked along the walls with small but quick steps into new darkness.
When I stopped at an intersection to plan my next direction, someone lightly bumped into me from behind.
The guy didn't even say hi, he just tore my string down and pushed my back.
The host had called it a deep kiss, but the anonymous boy slid his tongue into my hole with the force of a punch.
If he made any noises that could have told me who he was, I didn't hear them, since my own moaning's echo drowned out anything that made it past his slurping.
With a slap on my ass cheek, he sent me tumbling forward and vanished. I didn't even get to rim him back.
Just about to turn around and search for my dropped clothes, I heard steps in front of me.
"Hello?"
"Tao? You again?"
It was Adler. As we took a step toward each other in the dark, our erections touched. He jumped back and audibly shivered. Straight guys sure are weird. I'd have rubbed off on him instantly. Why couldn't he? He was into muscles, was he not?
"So..." I said. "Rimmed someone yet?"
"Oh, is that what deep kiss in the lower region means? I was afraid it's sucking dick again."
"Well..." I said with a grin. "We could try both to be sure."
"Ugh. Just get down."
We sixty-nined face-to-ass for efficiency. We didn't want to take turns. I grabbed his dick and jerked him off, slowly. Adler was nice enough to return the favor.
All four of us had lost a centimeter my now. Well, Doyun had overall gained one, plus girth. In any case, Adler and I were shorter than originally. Still enough dick to satisfy me.
Two more boys found our location. Apparently, my `ass'aulter had found the missing member.
"So, what now?" asked San.
The exit glowed green right next to us. Stairs up. We continued on.
Once again, we stepped into darkness.
