2022 Halloween Contest: Raiment of Asmodeus

[Executionus]

Ok, so I've changed my mind on my participation because it occurred to me that providing an example for how the rings work is probably a good idea. To that end, I have a really great little short plot in mind featuring the Vision Ring which I'm going to throw together now. That should give an example to everyone for how these little things work, although it should be mentioned that all eight rings are different in how they normally interact with their hosts (usually based on their element). I'll try to get this posted quickly.

Also I had two clarifications that I wanted to make. Nobody asked these questions, but they came to mind anyway. The Sensation Ring IS allowed to simulate touching and contact to genitals in all ways (including the wielder's) without breaking the virginity rule. This ring is unique in that it really skates the edges of that rule, but only actual physical contact is a violation. Also, anybody using the Swap Ring to switch bodies IS allowed full contact with their new body. That's one of the big perks of the Swap Ring, being able to touch yourself no matter what body you're in. The only rule is that Swappers aren't allowed to touch anyone else while swapped (which includes the Ringbearer's original body with someone else in it).

And in case anyone was wondering, one of the main reasons that I included the virginity rule in this contest was as a source of tension and temptation for the Ringbearers, as it should be fun watching them all go crazy over time from being able to see things but never touch them. Also I knew that in the real world if this rule wasn't put into place with magic rings, 90% of the Ringbearers would use their magic to essentially rape their targets and that would be bad. I didn't want to allow that possibility to exist.


Edit: My example with the Vision Ring is up now. Let it be known that you don't have to make your rings nearly that talkative. It just felt right for me with the protagonist I had set up for the ring to be very vocal and encouraging of him, and I wanted to display some unique traits of the Vision Ring as well. The rings in general try to cater to the tastes and desires of each host they join with so they can be very different from person to person.

Now for simplicity sake, not everybody has to write the origin story for their protagonist being chosen and learning the basics like I did. I wanted to write that as a bit of a tutorial for everyone else. Most people can probably just skip to the Ringbearer already having their ring and getting ready to try it out for real.

I’ve made a start already on a story for the Orange Ring of Change that I am hoping to get completed before the deadline (although it will mostly be overnight writing as I am extremely busy during most days).

(I am writing in an unusual style, so there are some deliberate “misspellings” in the prose — my phone keeps protesting at them, so do please mention it if you should spot any inaccurate “fixes”!)

The deadline is almost two months away so there's probably plenty of time for you.

On that note...this contest has got to be setting some kind of record for early participation! We've got seven entries so far including mine (with more declared) and it hasn't even been a whole week yet. I remember telling Superevil7 a few days before I launched this that I would be happy if I got 7 or 8 stories by HALLOWEEN judging by past contest participation rates. I'm glad this idea is so popular!

Now my main hope is that we get takers for Sensation and Swap before this is all over with, and possibly someone else besides me doing Vision as well. People may be sleeping on Sensation a bit, but that ring allows a person to play their target's entire body like Mozart plays a piano and is without-doubt the most explicitly-sexual of the eight rings. It's the only ring that cheats the virginity rules by saying that long-distance touching of someone "doesn't count".

So I have a couple questions, coincidentally about the two rings that haven't been chosen yet (Don't worry. I've started working on my memory ring story).

For the sensation ring, could the host of the ring not simulate the sensation of having sex with whoever they want, therefor negating really having any need to have sex for the rest of their life? And don't say for children, because there are turkey basters for that.

Kind of similar question for the swap ring. If the host were to swap with someone and then have sex in another persons body, would that still count and remove their ring? And if so, what about if they swapped, and the person in their body had sex with someone else? Could they then be a virgin non-virgin when they swapped back to their own body? Getting all the cred but none of the experience.

So what I find funny is that I actually answered these ahead of time in my earlier post.

So yeah, Sensation allows a significant level of Jedi-sexplay. You actually already wrote a scene in Smartwatch similar to how that can work when Matt was verbally summoning various touch sensations on Jenny. Sensation can absolutely be used to bring others to orgasm, and in fact that ring is capable of creating sexual pleasure beyond the normal limits of the human body since it can adjust those around at will. Sensation can heighten a person's skin's sexual sensitivity until every inch of them creates as much pleasure as a clit or dick, and then it can simulate dozens of hands massaging that person for the next hour with the ring just barely preventing the person from crossing the threshold into orgasm until the full hour had completed. A Sensation Ringbearer could certainly choose to use their powers to run a full harem of very-willing submissive toys experiencing untold pleasures across their naked bodies for the viewing enjoyment of their master. You could write an entire dom-subs pleasure-dungeon story with this ring easily. They could also choose to keep their identity secret instead and start making sexy people they know uncontrollably squirm and even cum in their clothes while in public with no idea how that keeps happening. Sensation could also torture somebody in an erotic way by decreasing their genital's sensitivity just enough to make it impossible for them to make themselves cum mixed with granting limited sexual stimulation to the entire body's skin and watch that person experience being trapped on the edge indefinitely with absolutely no way out until the Ringbearer grants it. This could be done with a friend/partner to maximize their pleasure, or done to a humiliation victim to watch as the victim is driven mad with desperation and frantically strips themselves and masturbates in public in front of countless peers, only for their ultimate humiliation to not even give them the release they were so unfathomably desperate to achieve at all costs no matter how fast they go or how long they try as the crowd grows and films it all.

Like I said in the other post, Sensation is by-far the most directly-sexual of the rings.

Also using the ring's magic to masturbate is still just a form of masturbation no different from any other sex toy, aside from it being far better. In theory a person could use the ring for just that alone all day, except that the ring would probably get bored and leave. The ring might also get bored over time if a Ringbearer entered into a monogamous relationship with a single partner. The virginity rule, though, is something that exists because of how Incubi feed off of virgins specifically. Virgins have a spiritual magic to them in various lore, and it's only broken by actual skin-on-skin intimacy. Flitsen himself has not had sex in thousands of years because he figured out that the soul-tainting from an incubus defiling a virgin was luring Heaven's assassins to his siblings. He's been cheating the system with various work-arounds of his own (Sensation powers included) for millennia.

With Swap you can touch yourself (no matter what body you have at the time) but you can't touch any other body. You bring up an odd situation with the Ringbearer's original body though. Since an incubus feeds on virgin souls, not virgin flesh, there is technically no violation if somebody else has sex while in the Ringbearer's original body. The Ringbearer could even watch the act if they chose. They just couldn't join in themselves in any way.

It should also be mentioned that Vision and Memory can also easily gain cred for falsely making others think the Ringbearer had sex if that's something the Ringbearer wants. Memory can even make others remember the act vividly. A Memory Ringbearer could fake a sexual relationship with an unknowing partner by turning them down for sex at night and then in the morning making their partner remember getting fucked like a pornstar for 2 hours instead of being told no. Of course, this would probably be torture if the partner was aware of the magic, since they would keep remembering how amazing sex with the Ringbearer was but they'd never actually get to feel it and would be haunted by this realization since every memory just made them craze sex more and more.

Damn. I feel a bit foolish now. I don't know how I missed your other post.

Well hopefully this helps clarify things for someone thinking about writing a story with those rings. At least I thought of something original with the body swap and let someone else have sex with your body idea

Part of me is hoping for shenanigans with the original body in a story. I made the comment in the first post that the Ringbearer "might want to handcuff your original body". There's a lot of revenge potential if someone escapes with the body of the person who stole their own body. It'd be quite the.... face-off.

Just now realized that other writers were signing up for the different rings ahead of time. Sorry! I posted a few hours ago my story "The Foster Family" using the swap ring. Enjoy!

It's fine! There's no actual RULE requiring sign ups. I set up a ring claim list because I was expecting the rollout of stories to be many magnitudes slower and wanted an accurate listing of which rings were most/least commonly picked so far, just in case anybody was like me and would be drawn towards whatever ring(s) nobody else was doing yet. On that note, kudos for being the first to choose Swap! I'll get to reading that and the other recent postings once I get the chance, since I'm suddenly getting behind on reading right when I'm busy with other stuff going on.

That leaves Sensation as the only one that nobody at all is doing yet, which I'll admit is not at all the one I expected to be last picked. Part of me is hoping that BlushingPrincess shows up and grabs it considering it can be used to tickle and tease people with a thought.

This is a reposting of me answering questions on Discord related to the virginity rule of the Eight Rings:




As for the virginity rule, the violations are mostly the type of thing that would make a person no longer sexually innocent. It's the soul itself that has to cross the threshold if that helps anything. A brief grope wouldn't be nearly enough (especially of the chest, which honestly doesn't even count by most definitions of virginity unless someone is really going to town). There's also an argument to make that consent is required for a true loss.

Generally speaking the rule bans significant touching of nude genitals (or extreme touching of clothed genitals). If doing X is the type of thing that can make a person cum, then doing it for too long would remove a person's sexual innocence. Brief contact is allowed, especially in a non-sexual way like changing diapers, spanking, tickling, or bumping into someone. Even some actual-sexual contact like copping a quick feel can be excused as long as it doesn't go too far.

In many cases the real big deciders would be duration and level of stimulation. I had mentioned previously that even extreme levels of kissing could cross the line if it went too far into sexual territory. A lot of it is mental relative to the person and their intentions. Even though using a dildo on a girl doesn't "touch" her, that would still go too far in most people's minds.

Humilatron's story has the Memory Ring user skating right up to the edge of the max of what's allowed when she lightly rubs the other girl's clit to torment her.

The way that I see the rings working, they would warn their hosts if they were going to far with something. They don't want to vanish and have to find a new host if they don't have to, since I imagine it to be annoying for them having to start over with newbies that are green as grass again and again across millennia.

Something else that I haven't mentioned which I probably should have earlier, is that I see the rings savoring their "last meal" with their hosts whenever one loses their virginity. They're not going to poof away the instant dick touches pussy, they're going to stick around until the deed is done and then be on their way. They could even use their powers to make the loss of virginity into a truly magical experience for both of them as a send-off.

Sex itself is the greatest meal ever for the rings, especially virgin sex. It just makes it so that afterwards the non-virgin isn't as viable for Incubus feed anymore so the rings were programmed to jet afterwards. Incubi in mythology are only supposed to rape and feed off of virgins. I probably should have explained some in my post directly, but I deliberately left open the possibility of many of these stories ending with the hosts finding love and getting laid in the end.

I setup the rules the way I did partially because in the real world most of the rings would be used to just rape girls if that sort of thing was allowed as opposed to merely stripping them and I wasn't really comfortable with them having the ability for that sort of thing. Desire could just directly make a girl want to sleep with you more than she wants to win the lottery. Memory could make her think she's your girlfriend and you have sex daily. Swap lets you switch bodies with her boyfriend before sex, and Vision could pull off the same trick using illusions. Movement is probably the worst of all as you can just freeze or pilot a girl's body at will while her mind is perfectly aware of everything. Each ring has at least one way of going way too far into actual rape without some form of rules to prevent it.
