I Evolved Into A Lovecraftian Incubus
Throughout history, humans have revered both gods and demons, and this has given rise to a plethora of urban legends. For example, consider the fabled tale of Santa Claus or the horrifying story of the slit-mouthed woman. Or perhaps the tragic ghost story of La Llorona; or perhaps nebulous ideas about ghosts, yoakais, and monsters in general. These monsters are created in some ways by man's collective unconscious. Communal belief, as the manfestation of mankind, lends form and meaning to these unfathomable creatures. Fear is a powerful thing. The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
The bigger question is whether these stories and urban legends are simply made-up tales passed down from generation to generation until they become true. Is there a deeper meaning underlying every tale, folklore, or story? Well, the answer to that question is far more horrific than many people can comprehend.
Every ghost, yokai, god, demon, folklore, urban myth, and supernatural occurrence stems from the same source. These are pataphysical beings who are born in mankind's dreams and roam the astral dimension. These beings are known as Fluxes. The Fluxes are a race of living concepts that are given life by the collective unconscious and completely transcend the laws of physics entirely. They cannot be understood using science since they are manifestations of human emotions and the power they possess is not of the physical plane of existence.
They cannot be harmed by contemporary weapons; the only way to vanquish a Flux is to entirely erase the memory of its existence. Or if a Dreamer takes action and fights the entity on their own, as a Dreamer is capable of reaching the astral plane by will. Dreamers are basically evolved humans with one distinct supernatural ability and the capacity to travel dreams. Because of their abilities, they can literally tamper with the actuality and laws of the universe and reality as a whole, and as such, they are the only thing capable of defeating and straight-up killing a Flux.
Dane Winter, a 23-year-old Higris University student, one day finds himself in a predicament where he encounters a strong Flux named Madam Butterfly in his dreams with the offer of becoming her avatar, or better yet a beacon that can guide her to the physical world. Dane accepted the offer, thinking it was a dream, not realizing that taking the hand of Madam Butterfly would catapult him balls deep into the supernatural world.
And now he has entirely evolved and transcended his humanity completely, becoming a Flux, or more accurately, an eldritch Incubus. He still requires sex to survive, but it is not his primary source of nutrition. Dane, as a Lovecraftian Incubus, feeds mostly on the fear and emotions of women. With Dane being a straightforward and cool guy, how will he handle with these new changes in his life? Will he succumb to corruption, or will he evolve into something far greater; find out in this one-of-a-kind story of romance, adventure, horror, thriller, and mystery.
