James was bored. Not the just the regular kind of bored, but the 'Ready to kill myself ' type of boredom. James looked down at his dog, Calibur, who was panting heavily at the foot of his bed. For some reason, the weather had been extremely hot these past days, which made James feel like he was on summer vacation rather than spring break.

“Come on boy, let's get you some water.”

The black terrier happily followed his master into the kitchen, where James's mother was still sitting at the table typing away on her computer like she had been early that morning.

“Hi, sweetie,” James’s mom said while continuing to stare at her screen. “What do you want for breakfast?”

“Breakfast was three hours ago, Mom,” James said as he filled Calibur's bowl with bottled water.

The businesswoman stopped typing and looked at her son apologetically.

“I'm sorry, honey, do you want me to make you something for lunch?”

“No, I'm fine.” James said as he sat down at the table. “Though I am extremely bored.”

“Well, sweetie. While me and your father do enjoy the fact that you’re staying here for your break, we didn't force you to make that decision. You could be acting like a mindless idiot like the rest of your friends if you had chosen to go to the beach instead. Which reminds me, why did you choose to stay here with us?”

“Does a son really need a reason to want to visit his parents?” James said as he desperately tried to change the subject. “I just wanted to see you guys, is that so bad?”

The woman looked at her son questioningly, but decided not to dive further into the subject.

“Well, if you’re so bored, why don't you go play on that Wiid we bought you for Christmas,” James's mother said as she went back to typing.

“It's pronounced Wii*, Mother. If you guys had bought me weed, that would have made you the best parents ever.” James said the last part quietly to himself.

“What was that?”

“Uh...nothing. Anyway, I already finished beating all the games I have for it.”

“Then why not just get a new one,” His mother said as if the answer was obvious.

“Well, I'm a college student, which means I don't have any money to buy a game.” James said with big puppy dog eyes that rivaled Calibur's. The woman sighed miserably.

“There are a few tens lying on the dryer.”

“I love you.” James said as he quickly gave his mother a kiss on the cheek before going over to grab the money.

“Yeah, yeah. I just can't wait until you get a job.”

James began making his way to the nearest video game store. He would have gladly taken the car to get there, but his father had taken it for his fishing trip earlier that morning. Luckily there was a game shop only about a block away.

As the college student walked down the sidewalk he noticed that the neighborhood was too quiet for his liking. Sure, there were birds chirping and you could hear a couple of old ladies gossiping on their porch, but there wasn't anything really interesting to keep James away from his thoughts, and the last thing James wanted was to be alone with his thoughts.

“Why did you choose to stay here with us?”

The brunet let out a miserable sigh as he thought about the question his mom had asked him earlier. The truth was, he didn't really want to stay with his parents for spring break. Sure, the boy loved his parents and all, but not enough to spend a free week away from college with them. Of course, he could have gone to the beach with his friends, but he just didn't trust himself--rather, it was more like he didn't understand himself anymore.

Ever since he started college, James noticed that his body had been acting weird, especially when in a room with another man. For some reason, James would find himself getting aroused just from being near the same sex. Of course this didn't happen with all men, just with the ones he found...dare he say, attractive.

James didn't know why this was happening now. He had never once thought guys were attractive in high school; then again, he had never found himself attracted to girls either. It's not like he didn't like girls or anything, but he never once felt aroused by them. But of course James knew this didn't mean he was gay...at least he didn't feel gay, or any different than he had felt since he was born. He didn't feel a need to talk about fashion, he still liked sports, and he was no Michael Jackson when it came to dancing, and yet whenever he took a shower in the college bathrooms, he had to desperately keep himself from admiring all the healthy muscular bodies that surrounded him.

“Hello, welcome to Game Universe,” an employee said to James as he entered the store. “Do you need any help with anything?”

“No, I'm fine.”

“I'm sure there's something I can help you with,” The employee said flirtatiously.

“Is this guy hitting on me?” James thought as he stared at the male clerk.

The cashier had a red bandana covering his dirty blond hair. There were tattoos covering his arms and a piercing sticking out of his bottom lip, definitely not James's type. Of course James wasn't gay so he didn't have a type to begin with.

“Um...no I'm fine, thank you,” James said as he quickly walked to the back of the store to avoid the cashier.

After about 20 minutes of searching, James soon realized that all the good games were at the front of the store where the gay cashier was now occupying, and of course the college student didn't want to face that guy again, so he decided to look around one more time before giving up.

He searched through the bins of discount and kiddy games before coming across an open door labeled “Adults Only”.

“I don't remember the store having this before,” James thought as he entered the room.

The new area he entered was quite small. There was barely any room to freely move around in, but this was mostly because of the shelves that were placed in the room, stocked with video games that had some rather graphic covers.

“Oh, so this must be where they keep the adult games,” James said to himself as he began searching the shelves.

Most of the games he found came from Japan, which meant that most of them were either dating simulations, games filled with little animated girls, or a dating simulation filled with little animated girls. However, there was one title that did catch his eye. At first, the brunet thought maybe the video game had been misplaced since it seem to lack an explicit box-art cover like the rest of the games inside the room.

On the cover, the word 'Ednial' was written in big and historic looking font with a picture of a forest in the background. James turned the game over and began reading the summary on the back.

“You enter the world of Ednial as a player who releases pheromones that cause every creature in the world to want you. Will you be able to leave the world with your virginity intact, or the real question is… do you even want to?”

“Well, this sounds like a stupid game,” James said out loud, though admittedly the brown-eyed boy was interested in seeing how the game was played, and there wouldn't be any harm if he bought it. In fact, if he got aroused it would prove to himself that he wasn't gay.
---

“Hmm...Ednial,” The cashier said as he scanned the box. “You know, this is a rare game. I think this is the only one we have in the store.”

“Yeah, that's interesting,” James said apathetically. He really didn't have any interest in what the cashier had to say and wanted to leave the store as quickly as possible before the guy tried to hit on him again.

“You know, it comes with a free strategy guide.”

“A free strategy guide...for an adult game? Is it supposed to be hard or something?” James asked in confusion.

“Not sure, but the developers said it will come in handy. Want it, cutie?” the clerk said with an amorous smile.

“I need to get the fuck out of here.”
---

“Hi, Mom,” James said as he entered the house.

“Oh, hi sweetie. Back from the store so soon?” His mother asked from the kitchen. Apparently, she was still working on the computer.

“Yeah, I'm going in my room now, bye,” James said as he quickly ran into his room to avoid any questioning from his mom. He didn't want to know how awkward it would have been if she had found out he had bought an adult game. Sure, he was old enough to buy it, but parents always saw you as their little baby.

James opened the case and put the video game disc inside his Wii before shooing Calibur outside his room. If he did get a hard on, he didn't want to rub it out while his dog was watching.

He then grabbed the controller and waited for the game to start. The screen turned black for a few seconds and then suddenly a man, or at least what James assumed was supposed to be a man, appeared.

“Wow, the graphics for this are beautiful,” James said in awe, not realizing he was talking more about the male on screen rather than the game. The man had jet-black hair with white streaks lying on each side of his face. His skin had a deep dark complexion which reminded James of bitter chocolate. But what stood out most about the man were his blood-red eyes that seemed to be staring right into James's soul. He couldn't understand why, but just staring at this person made his heart beat rapidly.

“So, James Elder Brown, you wish to be a part of Ednial,” The man said with a lecherous grin.

“What the hell!? This game knows my name?!” James said in both surprise and confusion.

“My name is Sebastian...” said the man, “...and I know all, both in my and your world.”

“Is this guy really talking to me!” James thought. “No...let's be realistic. This is a video game. It most likely found out my name from reading it off of saved games I have on my memory card. The person on screen is just a character who likely says the same thing to any other person who was to play this game. Yes, this is logical.”

“I see that by the look on your face you don't believe me,” Sebastian said with an even more mischievous smile. “Very well, then. Let the journey begin.”

Suddenly the screen began releasing a bright white light that filled James's room. James could hear Calibur barking maddeningly outside his room. He wanted to check on the dog, but there was no way he could see where he was going due to the intensity of the bright light.

Slowly the white light began to fade, as well as Calibur's barking. When James could finally see again, he found himself sitting on grass staring at a bunch of trees covered in vines.

At first, James was speechless and allowed his mouth to hang open in shock. He then blinked once, twice, and then three times. After seeing that the trees still didn't go away, he quickly got off the ground and began to look around frantically.

“Wh...Wh...Where am I?!” James screamed as he looked at his surroundings.

Obviously, he was in a forest, or at least he assumed he was in a forest. The trees surrounding him were covered with so many vines that he almost thought he was in a jungle. But whether he was in a jungle or not wasn't really important right now. The real question was, how did he get here?

“Maybe...I'm dreaming,” James said as he began to walk around the forest floor. This was the most logical reason; it wasn’t as if he could have been just randomly transported to this place. Such a thing could never happen, nor could such a device exist. However, if this was a dream, everything around him sure felt real. James could swear he could feel the nice cool breeze blowing through his dark and untamed hair. He could smell the earthy and musty scent coming from the wilderness that surrounded him, and the soft chirping of crickets hiding in the grass sounded as clear as day to the college student.

“But still, this has to be a dream, right?”

As James continued to think about his situation, he didn't watch where he was going and one of his feet ended up stepping on a vine lying on the ground.

“EEP!”

“What the-” James didn't know how it had happened, but the vine he had stepped on had suddenly wrapped itself around his leg. James tried with all his might to free himself, even going as far as using his hands to pull the plants off, but all his attempts only seemed to make the plant hold onto him tighter.

“Is...Is this thing alive?”

Suddenly, the forest began to act strange. The leaves on the trees were moving rapidly, yet the wind wasn't blowing hard enough to cause such a response.

Slowly, like thick green snakes, the vines hanging from the trees began to slither from the branches and make their way over to the captive boy. James’s heart began to race in fear as he tried even harder to get his foot free, but to no avail.

The plant then gave a harsh pull and suddenly the boy's body was flipped upside down. At first, James didn't know what had happened, but when he noticed his head hanging inches from the ground, he realized the vine still attached to his foot must have been the cause for his new position.

Now that James was even more helpless, it seem like the vines from before had decided to take this moment to attack. James felt one of the vines slide inside his left pants leg. The shock of feeling something in an area that it clearly wasn’t meant to be in, added to the fact that the vine's cold stem gave James goosebumps, caused him to shake violently.

“Ugh! Get off me, you fucking plant!”

James was absolutely terrified. He didn't know what this plant was or what it was trying to do to him. Crush him? Eat him? Strangle him? Though the possibilities didn't really matter, since all of them seemed to lead to the same thing...death.

More vines seemed to appear from the forest, but there were two vines in particular that caught James’s attention. Unlike the vines from before, these plants seemed to have tiny pink concave stems attached to them, looking very similar to suckers.

“Ah!” James let out a scream as he felt the vine in his pants make its way inside his shorts. He attempted to grab a hold of the vine, or at least block the plant's path, but suddenly two other vines got a hold of his hands and put them behind his back, and just when the boy thought his situation couldn't get any worse, the sucker vines suddenly made their way inside his shirt and latched on to his nipples.

“What!” James harshly shouted as he felt the vines firmly suck away at his teats. “Is this thing trying to milk me?” The thought was odd, though truthfully the situation he was in was quite strange on its own, but what was even weirder was that James didn't feel any discomfort in having his nipples sucked. In fact, it felt good...really good.

Each pull and tug from the plants sent an electric sensation down his cock, causing his member to thicken to the point that it was now stretching the fabric of his pants.

“No!” James gave out a weak scream as he felt the vine inside his pants rub against his now fully awakening length. The plant slowly ran up and down the boy's member, almost as if it was exploring the rigid cock out of curiosity.

“S-St-Stop...ngh...ah...no.” James tired to suppress his moan, but the light touches on his member added with the milking of his nipples just felt so good, but he didn't know why. Men shouldn't like having their nipples played with nor molested by strange plants (of course the last one applied to all genders), and yet here James was, dangling in the air getting a hard-on from being fondled by a plant.

“Someone, please help me.”
---

Donovan leaped happily through the trees of Moronia. The reason for the dark-haired Adhene's gleeful mood was because he had three successful futuers in a row, which meant he had more than enough magic to stay at the inn located in town.

“Please let me go!”

The golden-eyed male stopped in his tracks after hearing what sounded like a person in trouble.

“What is this, a damsel in distress*?” Donovan said as he went toward the direction he had heard the scream from. The Adhene's ears began to twitch rapidly as he smelled a strong and very appealing scent coming from the area he was heading.

When Donovan finally made it to the clearing, he found a rather attractive and strangely dressed male, being helplessly held against his will by the forest’s hapto vines.

At first, the Adhene wasn't sure if the captive was enjoying or disliking the plants’ physical behavior. Most people liked getting entrapped by hapto vines, since they gave you a quick, though low, amount of magic. But despite the male's flushed face and light moans, he could tell the man didn't appreciate the predicament he was in by how he tried to fight the vine inside his pants leg off by thrashing his body around.

“Really, people should know better than to enter these woods if they don't want to have to deal with the forest’s inhabitants,” Donovan said with a sigh, “But I guess since the prey in question is so captivating, I'll help this time.”
---

“This isn't good,” James thought as he felt the vine wrap around the head of his penis. “If this keeps up, I'm going to-”

But James never got to finish his thoughts as three arrows came flying through the air, cutting the vines attached to his legs and arms. James fell to the ground with a hard thump. He wasn't sure what had happened until he turned around to see the vines that had held him before cut into two and letting out a high pitched squeal as they sunk back into the forest.

James let out a harsh moan as he felt something pulling at his nipples. He then looked down and remembered that the sucker vines from before were still attached to his chest.

“Damn plant!” James said as he began pulling at the vines.

“I wouldn't do that if I was you,” Came a voice.

“What!” James said as he desperately looked around to see where the voice had come from, but it was too late. The vines came off with one final suck to the boy's nipples, triggering his climax.

“Fuck!” James screamed as he felt himself release inside his pants.

“I told you so.”

James thrashed around wildly on the grass, his vision filled with nothing but white as he felt all the tension inside his cock from before suddenly being unleashed. A few seconds passed before James let out a satisfied moan as the last of his seed was spilled. When the boy's vision finally came back, James saw a pair of golden eyes staring down at him.

Despite the afterglow, James quickly got off the ground to see who the golden pupils belonged to. Standing in front of him was what James could best describe as a man, though calling the person in front of him as simply a man just didn't seem right to James. The man was at least a good foot taller than him. He also had long, dark hair that framed his face perfectly and brought attention to his honey-colored eyes. Sprouting from the side of the man's head were two pointed ears that each possessed a small orb-like earring. The man's face was absolutely beautiful, so beautiful in fact that James could have easily mistaken him for a female. However, there was a huge tear that stopped midway down this male's shirt that showed off his smooth tan chest and provided evidence that he was indeed no female.

A mischievous smiled appeared on the man's face. “Like what you see?” he asked.

James felt his cheeks turn red after he realized he had been staring at the man without saying a word to him once.

“No...I...um...what...uh...who are you?” James finally asked.

“My names Donovan Coltrane Fyn, one of the best magicaletes and archers in my home village,” The golden eyed stranger said with pride. “Now that you know who I am, would you kindly tell me your name?”

“I'm James, James Elder Brown, and I guess I'm not known as the best of anything in my hometown.”

“Well, James, is it,” Donovan said while closing in on the other male. “Do you mind telling me what race you are? I have yet to see such a breed as you in my lifetime.”

“Race?” James said in confusion. “I think it would be quite obvious that I'm white.”

“White? You are a color?” The dark-haired man said with a bewildered expression on his beautiful face.

“No, I'm Caucasian,” James began to explain. “I come from America where I lived in a little town located in Virginia.”

Donovan’s face looked even more confused by the boy's explanation.

“Haven't you heard of America before?”

“No,” Donovan simply stated. “Nor have I heard of Caucasians or this Virginia you speak of.”

“What is wrong with this man? How was it possible to live on Earth and not hear of the United States of America?”

It wasn't until James looked back at Donovan that he realized just how close the man had gotten to him.
When the wind blew, the male's long black hair would tickle against his face and James could hear Donovan lightly breathing in his ear.

“You know, Mr. James Elder Brown,” Donovan said softly, “You give off a rather peculiar scent.”

“I-I-I do?” James stuttered nervously. He didn't know why, but having Donovan's face so close to him caused him to feel butterflies in his stomach.

“Yes, a strong spicy scent.”

James looked at the other male's eyes and felt his heart leap at the intense emotion he saw inside them. He couldn't quite explain it, but it was as if Donovan was looking at him with a hungry expression. The golden pupils was staring down at him like a wolf would stare at a helpless bunny. In other words, James felt like he was in a dangerous situation and would do anything to get out of it.

“So, are you the one who saved me from those vines?” James asked as he noticed the quiver full of arrows poking out from behind Donovan's back.

“Yes, indeed that was me,” Donovan said, backing away from James, causing the shorter male to sigh in relief. “ Moronia's forests are filled with hapto vines, and I suggest that you stay away from these woods in the future if you wish not to deal with them again.”

“Hapto vines? Moronia?” Now it was James’s turn to be confused.

“Moronia...” The taller male stated as if James should have known what that word meant. “I understand it is not a glamorous city but every school on Ednial should teach about the city of Moronia.”

Just when James was about to ask Donovan what the hell an Ednial was, though he swear the word sounded familiar, he felt something slowly leaking down his pants legs.

“Oh, God!” James shouted, completely horrified as he quickly realized what was trailing down his inner thighs. It was only a few moments ago that he had cum unexpectedly and now that evidence was slowly seeping its way out his jeans.

Donovan noticed the 'Caucasian's' predicament, and found the whole thing rather amusing.

“On my way here I was planning on going to an inn, where I could sleep and take a shower.” Donovan made sure to emphasize the shower part. “If you don't mind sharing a room, I’m offering to let you come with me.”

James wanted to say no. There was just something in his gut that told him not to go along with the other male. However, Donovan had rescued him from those plants, and he also seemed to know a little about this place he was in. James would have to be stupid not to take the man's offer.

“Sure. I'll come with you.”

“Great!” Donovan said with a wolfish grin. He then grabbed a hold of the shorter male and began carrying him bridal style.

“Donovan, what are you doing?” James screamed as he struggled in the man's arms.

“This way will be much faster,” Donovan said as he began to leap from tree to tree. James clutched the man's shoulders for dear life as they moved through the forest at a rapid speed.

“Donovan is not human.” Of course, James had assumed this ever since he had seen the man's golden eyes and abnormal ears. However there had still been some doubt in his head. Maybe Donovan’s eyes and ears had been some kind of birth defect, or maybe the man had some type of disease that James had never heard of, but these thoughts soon disappeared as soon as Donovan had lifted him up as if he weighted lighter than a feather-- which James definitely wasn't.

Ever since he had been in kindergarten, James had taken part in any sports activity that he could. Baseball, basketball, football, you name it. If it was a sport, James had already been a part of it at least once or twice. The point was that James had muscles; he wasn't a body builder, but he was muscular enough that it would seem impossible for Donovan, who was thin, slender, and seemed to possess no evidence of muscular strength, to carry a person like James in his arms and with superhuman agility leap from tree to tree without showing any signs of physical discomfort at all. So in short, Donovan just wasn't human.

“We're here,” The non-human announced.

“Huh?” James said in surprise as he realized they were no longer surrounded by trees but instead standing in front an old-fashioned village, though calling it old-fashioned was an understatement. There were tiny huts made out of mud, stones, and straw. There were no roads to be seen, only dirt paths. The village’s streetlights were nothing more than torches lit with fire, and the only transportation this town seemed to have was either by wagon or by foot. It was like James had been transported to the
Dark Ages. However, the way the village looked wasn't the strange part; it was the villagers that were bizarre.

They were creatures who looked very similar to humans, but were clearly not because they had wings springing from their backs, tails where their legs should be, and eyes that were shades of colors that didn't even exist in Crayola boxes.

Of course, there were a million questions running around in James’s head. “Where the hell was he?” was still on the top of his list of inquires, and the next was “What were these creature standing before him?” However, the only question he did think out loud seemed to be the most irrelevant.

“We sure got here fast,” said James.

“Of course, we Adhenes are known for our fast speed,” Donovan exclaimed.

“Adhene?” James questioned “So you really aren't human.”

“Human?” Donovan asked, “What's that?”

Suddenly everything that had happened to James before hit him at once. Somehow he had been transported to a place where humans, America, and probably Earth didn't exist. Yet molesting vines, Adhenes, and other strange creatures did. Just thinking about it all suddenly made James very weak, until he finally collapsed.
