    This is a story I have been writing for some time here on CHYOA. The tale begins in a world drawn from elements of the Scorpion king, Conan and similar sword and sorcery movies. A feared Akkadian assassin is recruited by a beautiful sorceress to slay a warlord who has displeased her. Unfortunately for the Akkadian (in most of the story arcs his true name is never revealed) her plan to get him into the warlord's home entails physically changing him into the exact duplicate of the warlord's favourite whore (pictured above).

    This is by far my most successful story here, already having several talented authors contribute to it. The story divides into several broad arcs, depending on whether the assassin accomplishes his mission or fails and whether he gains allies or not in the attempt.

    Bodyswapping stories I know are not to everyone's taste. They are probably my favourite trope though. Aside from the bodyswap the story is an adventure with the transformed assassin attempting to complete his mission and be restored whilst fending off or succumbing to lusty men and women and would be slavers along the way.

    I watched the recent Hercules movie starring Duane "The Rock" Johnson. Very much in keeping with the world I imagine the Akkadian to live in. A line that was repeated a few times about Hercules ninth? labour to recover the girdle of Hyppolyta peaked my interest. "A tale of buxom Amazons and exciting bondage." I already had long term plans to have the Sorceress embark on a journey with the Akkadian and visit some of her allies. I'd thought up a few situations and characters for a pirate crew in her service, but now I think I must include an Amazon tribe in her tour.

    Just stumbled across this post and was very impressed by the story, great job!

    I would be interested in helping out with this Akkadian tale, if you would like. Is there a particular part of the story, or individual thread, that you would most like someone else to add to? Or would you prefer a new story arc?

    Btw, if you like "buxom Amazons" my chyoa story is along those lines.

    Hi there

    Always very pleased indeed if another writer finds the story interesting enough to want to make an addition to it. Where you pick up the story is entirely your choice, be it adding to an existing story arc, breaking off at a tangent on a storyline or creating a new arc near the beginning of the tale. Whatever elements of the story that interest you the most are there to be explored. I look forward to reading your contribution.

    Excellent thread Porneia. That is a twist that had never even occurred to me at all.

    Thanks, glad you liked it. I have been toying with writing a story from the perspective of an evil "dungeon master" for sometime, so this works. I like the idea, however, that the Akkadian doesn't have any of the Sorceress' powers, which should make for some interesting possibilities and difficult situations.

    A few questions, if you don't mind:

    1) Does the Akkadian and the Sorceress have names?

    2) I envisioned the Sorceress living outside of the city, probably in the stereotypical evil magic user tower, is that okay?

    I will add to this new arc when I have some time. It would be just as interesting if the Akkadian did have the magical power, but no idea how to control it.

    1) They have names. but those are closely guarded secrets.

    2) In the longest arc the Sorceress's tower is several hours ride from Al Areth out in the desert.

    Very cool, I am very curious to see your take on this arc.

    Two more questions . . .

    1) What should the Sorceress be formally called?

    2) And in a related question, does the location of her tower have a name?
     
  9. android1966

    android1966 Really Experienced

    1) So far she has simply been addressed as Sorceress, or Mistress by her servants and slaves.

    2) No name has so far been given to the tower other than the Sorceress's Tower. Fell free to add a name or a backstory to it's original purpose or history.

    Android I really enjoy the premise, style, and setting of your story. I recently posted a thread off your main arc (I think?) I hope I got many of the details right as well as the voice correct. Do you have a campaign setting write up I should refer to? Gods, locations, general world lore?

    Hi Fuseline

    Your addition was spot on with it's details and style. I don't really have a fixed campaign setting. I was just making things up as I went along and did not really think when I started that the story would grow this much. The world of Conan and the Scorpion king movie is where most of the background comes from, but I'm not exactly an expert on either and just added races and facts I remembered as I went along. I guess adding a general guide would be helpful.

    I enjoyed what few chapters I read, but now that I know the protagonist's second body is based off Asa Akira, I like it all the more!

    Glad you liked the story. Asa is certainly hot and her exotic and very feminine look seemed perfect for the part.

    I hope you like the recent posts. I have one more that I am working on (the Akkadian going to the Tower instead of the town.)

    I also hope you don't mind that I didn't go with the archetypical evil sorceress's lair (though the Tower will have some elements of that trope). It has always bothered me when supposedly intelligent villains do not understand the value of loyalty and efficiency. Also, it bothers me when there is a castle (or a tower) that doesn't have any means of supporting itself; There are no lords or castles without peasants.

    Thanks again, for a fun and exciting story idea.

    Crom!

    I enjoyed the new threads immensely.

    Certainly I did not mind at all. A great idea to expand on the Sorceress's tower to include a whole settlement.

    Finally got around to adding the thread I promised. It is more erotic than the last one, which I hope wasn't too grim. I tried to create this latest thread to have numerous possible romantic paths. Btw, if any of my threads have elements you don't like, please tell me, and I will change them.

    P.S. The Sorceress' slaves are based on two Playmates from an old copy of "Playboy."

    The content has been exceptionally fine. I love the two new characters. They seem a very dirrrty set of twins, and look it too judging by the image. I like the names too, left and right in latin yes?

    Thanks, it was a fun thread to write. And, yes, the sisters are "left" (the bad one) and "right" (the orderly one).

    I like the idea that the Sorceress actually likes to secretly play the submissive role sometimes. I could see someone in power getting turned on by being dominated. But how would the Akkadian react to such play? Especially considering he wouldn't know the safe word to make them stop, which only would encourage them, especially Sinistra.

    I really liked your lost two threads, very well done! I was curious to read more on how you view the Akkadian's thoughts. Your choice brilliantly allowed the Assassin to stay in cover, engage in a tawdry act, yet all the while not being a villain. Again, well done.

    After a long hiatus I have added to my old favourite a little in the last month or two. I also cleared up a few (certainly not all) typos in some earlier threads, and took the opportunity to post a couple of images in the introductory chapters. A feature that I had wanted to try out, although I know opinions are mixed on adding character images.

    Scorpion Princess has racked up 259 favourite story or bookmarks. So a big thanks to everyone who read it and found it entertaining. Hopefully I will not leave it so long in future to continue the Akkadian's misadventures.
