It was a beautiful day in the sim. The weather algorithm was cooperating. The grass was soft and looking full grown since it had just reset to its default state. All the non-quest animals were going about their pre-programmed routines. It was terribly peaceful. Right up until a loud pop and a burst of light brought a figure into existence just above the ground. A name tag appeared over the luminescent form, signaling that it was a player character who went by 'Meridia the Gluttonous'. As the light faded and her details took shape, she appeared as a wolf. She was short and stocky, possessing a figure that many would find alluring. She opened her green eyes just as she was dropped out of the air onto her paws.

The lupine quickly looked over herself. Her examination told her she was dressed in the default tunic and trousers of a new character and she groaned loudly. She had not even been allowed to keep what few, miserable items she had collected in the hour's exploration she went through before losing her fight and being forced to respawn.

"Crap! Back to square one! Again! This is like the fifth time!" Meridia cried out in frustration.

Without bothering to check her surroundings or even think about running back to her corpse, she simply plopped down right where she was, sitting without even moving from her spawn point. There wasn't any reason to go running after her body. The items she had collected wouldn't be there. Nor would there be an actual corpse. She had been eaten again. And this time by a monster that would no doubt digest her belongings as well as her body. It was all terribly disheartening. For several moments, Meridia sat there, wondering if she had picked the wrong class. She loved the whole 'dashing rogue' motif, and even added a bit of magical ability to it in order to augment her base skills.

So far, it had proven to be quite impossible to kill enough creatures to get past level one. She probably would be doing better if it weren't for one specific thing. She had installed a mod a friend of hers told her about. It sounded like it was right up her alley, so she was incredibly excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, adding the ability to eat and be eaten by mobs had proven more trouble than she thought it would.

The wolf sat there, grumbling away, not sure how she should proceed. Right up until another player respawned right on top of her. It was a tall, muscular looking gryphon who had just lost a match with another player in an arena somewhere. It had permitted him to keep his gear and gold. He stood on top of Meridia for a moment, his talons pushing down on her chest as she lay there, flat on her back. She squirmed and swore loudly for him to get off, which he did. The gryphon leapt away and raced off to wherever he was headed, not even realizing how he had just stomped on another player. Meridia had put up with just about enough. She leapt to her paws and stormed out of the clearing.

She wandered for a while, dejected and disappointed, until she found a new clearing to sit in. It wasn't quite as picturesque as the previous one, nor did it have quite the same pleasant weather. It was a little colder. The trees weren't green but a myriad of reds, oranges, and yellows. Even the sky wasn't quite as welcoming. Her mood dampened like the soggy road she had been walking along, Meridia wandered off the path and plopped down to have a seat and sulk some more. At least here, she wouldn't end up getting stomped on by a respawning player.

If only she had taken care to mind where she was. Then she might have noticed the pair of eyes studying her. Someone had spotted what they thought would be an easy meal. Slowly, the hunting creature crept from the bushes, slithering silently through the grass as they approached. The serpentine figure reared up behind the wolf, jaws open, ready to strike. Meridia had not noticed even in the slightest. She just sat there, arms on her knees, chin on her arms, and let out a loud sigh. That sigh caught the snake's attention. She closed her mouth, tilted her head, and lowered her posture.

"Hey, you alright?" asked the snake.

Meridia's eyes widened and she turned around sharply. As soon as she caught sight of the scaled creature that had stalked right up on her, she shrieked in surprise and crawled backwards, trying to get away. It took several seconds for her to calm down from her initial fright, but she managed to do so. It didn't hurt that the snake in question had just sat there, staring at her quietly.

"You practically gave me a heart attack!" Meridia cried in dismay.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Kinda comes with the territory. Snakes being quiet hunters and all that," the scaled lady said, extending an arm in a gesture of friendship, "I'm Quetza. Nice to meetcha."

The naga was dressed rather elaborately in the garb of what the lupine could only guess was a shaman. The big, feathery headdress was a dead giveaway. She was shaped similar to the lupine, well curved, well endowed, but she was not at all afraid to flaunt it. She was practically spilling out of the 'armor' that comprised her 'top'. Below, she had what would have been considered a loin cloth, but on her, it just looked like a really low hanging necklace. She had hips, and they were fairly broad. It made the loin cloth stay where it was meant to be, but the garment did little to conceal the sizable swell it was meant to cover.

Quetza's long, thick tail stretched out for what had to be at least four meters, covered in feathers of bright reds yellows, and greens. What was curious was the coloration was shifting. It actually changed as it spread down her entire length. What it was replacing was a more camouflaged collection of hues, mostly greens and browns. She probably could hide in the brush better than almost any other species or class. It made the wolf a little jealous.

The wolf lady tried not to stare. Why had she not thought to go further with her character design? She thought what she had was cute, but she felt an odd desire to hold back her more exuberant sensibilities. Maybe she might have to delete her current character and go back to character creation, start over fresh. With the snake showing her how unafraid she was to be what she wanted, it gave the wolf reason to be a little more bold on that front.

"Meridia," the short wolf reached out and took the paw, giving it a squeeze and a shake, "If you wanted to ask if I was okay, why did you sneak up on me like that?"

"Oh," Quetza smiled and blushed, having been caught in the act, "I was gonna eat you. Then I noticed you were looking pretty down in the dumps so I thought me scarfing you down might not be the biggest help. Sorry about that."

"You were gonna eat me!?" Meridia cried out, rather upset by the revelation.

"Yeah... I mean... that's the point of the mod, right? And you -are- in a PVP area. Figured you knew that. Thought people as low level as you only came to PVP areas with the mod turned on because you're into being prey. Did I misread you?" Quetza asked.

The short wolf pulled her knees back to her chest, wrapped her arms around them, then curled her tail around to cover her paws. Her chin came to rest back on top of her knees and she sighed, easing back into her dejected mood.

"I might as well be with how much luck I've had today. I just can't seem to get the hang of this game. Without the mod, sure, I can do alright. But with it, I'm pretty terrible." Meridia explained.

"Oooh, mod newbie, I gotcha," the naga said as she slithered back in close, this time gently coiling herself around the lupine to offer a sympathetic hug, "I had a good deal of trouble my first couple of days with the mod. It changes how the whole game plays. Where have you been hunting?"

The plumage the 'Quetzalcoatl' was covered in was actually rather nice to feel squeeze in from all around. Of course, if Quetza decided she was interested in more than just a hug, she could no doubt make it terribly uncomfortable. However, that large, plump chest pushing in against her shoulders from behind made for quite the lovely pillow to rest against. And the swell down where the naga's groin might be if she were in possession of legs mashed against her as well. It made her blush, but she didn't try to fight away from it. It was all terribly soothing, easing Meridia into a disarmed state.

"I've been hunting in the forests a couple of clicks north of the starting town. I figured I could handle harder stuff than the standard newbie fare with the mod." the lupine explained.

"Oh honey. No, don't assume that you'll be able to take on bigger, badder stuff just because of the mod. How many times have you gotten eaten so far?" Quetza asked.

Meridia looked off into space, recalling how things had gone for her since she installed the mod. It hadn't been quite what she had hope for. Her thoughts drifted back to that most recent battle, the one she had just respawned from. It had been a foolish endeavor to try to tackle something taller and stronger than her, now that she looked back on it.

The lizard-man's reach was greater. He hit harder. And he had more health. Still, she hung in the fight as long as she could. After dealing a few not insignificant blows, Meridia attempted to make use of the new abilities the modification provided. Her first roll to swallow her target had failed, and failed badly. Her jaws refused to stretch far enough and the lizard dragged his head from her maw without trouble. And because of the attempt, he had managed to grapple her. She was trapped in his arms. And since one good turn deserved another, he attempted to eat her in response. And he was much more successful.

The sensation of being swallowed was still terribly fascinating. Meridia was astounded at the level of detail included. She could actually feel the pressure, texture, heat, and even the moisture of the lizard's throat as she slipped down it. He didn't bother to make it a slow and pleasant trip. He just scarfed her down as quick as he could. She was crammed into a stomach that clearly wasn't used to something so big being inside it, balled up tight and unable to do much more than wriggle weakly. The last thing she heard was a loud belch as the lizard waddled off, fat and proud of his latest kill.

Meridia sighed as she came back from her little moment of recall, then leaned back against Quetza's tender embrace.

"Five times. I'm kinda ready to just quit and uninstall the mod." she said, sounding terribly frustrated.

"Poor thing. No wonder you're super unhappy. You haven't had a chance to really get to experience the thrill of a successful hunt. You need to try aiming a little lower first, get used to how the mod works. I know it's not nearly as satisfying as taking down a real big bad guy, but going after smaller critters first will help you get up to a point where you can take on the more serious targets," Quetza explained, slowly tightening her grip around the wolf for a moment, then frowned as she realized something else, "And you're so wound up you're tense as hell. You need something to help you relax."

"Yeah, it's kind of physically demanding playing in VR, and when you're not having a good time, it just feels like you're back in gym class and the coach is yelling at you to 'climb that damn rope' or whatever." Meridia said, letting out a little rumble of a growl.

It wasn't a sound of anger, but that of comfort and content. She liked this Quetza lady. She had been the first friendly creature she had encountered since installing the mod. Granted, she was another player, not an NPC. Had the latter been true, the wolf would have been deeply impressed by whoever coded her. Maybe they could be friends. Likely they wouldn't be able to do much together until after she had gotten the hang of the game.

"You gotta take a break every now and again, go into a town and rest at an inn or get something to drink at a tavern. It's a lot more immersive than just 'oh I'm gonna just use the town as a place to save'. Think of it like you're actually traveling through a real world, and towns are places where you can just kinda recuperate. You might even find a quest that'll get you something to help overcome a level gap." Quetza said, beginning to slowly massage the wolf's shoulders.

It might have been nothing more than a sophisticated virtual reality simulation, but the act of making contact with another player felt quite real. And the resolution was high enough that the massage actually provided the desired soothing effect. Meridia sighed and tipped her head one way then the other, basking in the sensations brought about by the diligent, skilled fingers working her over.

"Maybe if getting eaten felt this good, I wouldn't be so cranky." the wolf said.

"You gotta find you a pred who can do it right. Someone who gets that it should be an intimate thing, not just a greedy, nasty attack," Quetza said, moving her paws lower along the lupine's form, gradually experimenting with where Meridia might let her go, "I dunno what settings you have turned on or off, but I know one thing that would for sure get you nice and relaxed. A lotta mod newbies don't know it's a thing that's included, but it makes this game more than just a game. It can be a place where you can hook up with people for a one night stand. Or more. Maybe you should find you a friend with benefits."

"Is that you're way of saying you wanna cyber with me?" Meridia asked, chuckling quietly as she tickled herself.

"Cyber? Seriously?" Quetza's massage stopped as she slithered around to face the wolf, "Did you really just call it that?"

"Well? Isn't that what this is about? Because it sounds like you're just a few steps away from saying 'I want to do the sex!' at me." the short, curvy wolf said, grinning quite wide now.

The naga's efforts to help elevate her mood had worked quite well. She was feeling a bit more chipper, even playful. Granted it was in the moment, with company that was more than just a little pleasant. Once they parted ways and she went back to the game itself, Meridia would probably sink back into her funk. But for now, she embraced the good feelings.

"Yeah, and what if I did? What if I say 'I want to do the sex!' at you?" Quetza asked, grinning just as broadly at the lupine.

"I might say yes. I didn't know that sorta thing was an option in here. But if it is, then I say let's go for it. It's been a couple of months since I've gotten any that wasn't mechanical or manual. And you seem 'fully functional'." Meridia said, pressing forward into the snake's grasp.

She even slipped her arms around the soft, scaled lady. The embrace was quite nice, giving her a chance to explore the supple padding the naga had programmed into her design. Or was that a function of how much she had eaten as she played the game? It didn't much matter to Meridia. She was enjoying it regardless. Quetza hissed softly and slipped her arms around the lupine in return, then tightened her coils, ensuring that they had a least a little privacy, and that Meridia couldn't escape. Though, why would she try?

"Oh yes I am indeed. Programmed in multiple techniques," the snake joked as she brushed her lips past the wolf's, "Why don't you let this shaman give you a little blessing?"

The two ladies giggled at their shared pop culture reference, then leaned in to kiss. Quetza knew how sensitive the interface was, but Meridia was completely new to it. It amazed her how much detail had been programmed in, even there. It drove her to want more, mashing her muzzle to the blunt snout of the snake. They groaned quietly in each other's arms, running their paws up and down one another, squeezing and groping what tender spots they could reach. They were fairly well matched when it came to their busts, meaning neither could fit the whole of one breast in a single paw. Clearly they were both rather fond of such a build.

The bulge under Quetza's loin cloth swelled, pushing up against the wolf's crotch as they carried on. She was easily excited apparently, and Meridia welcomed it. The lupine lady rolled her hips forward, mashing in against that impressive mound. The snake's clothing had been selected for easy removal, but the wolf's was less cooperative. Even so, they both worked quickly to cast the unnecessary attire away. Within minutes, it was but fur against feather and scale. And it was glorious.

A hiss escaped the snake as she rolled her coils against the wolf. She plunged deep between Meridia's legs, taking no time at all to simply 'get to it'. The lupine gasped and arched her back as her nethers were forced apart so quickly. She had been needing attention for some time, just as she had said. But she didn't realize just how badly she needed it. Quetza was revealing to her just how long due she was for something like this.

The interface recreated the experience quite accurately. All it was lacking was some fine tuning, but it was close to the real thing. And that realization was shifting how Meridia viewed the game. She was beginning to think uninstalling the mod would be a terrible, horrible, awful idea. Why on earth would she give this up?

The wolf barked and snarled as she began pushing her hips down into Quezta's coil, trying to sink as much of that impressive mast into her. It felt like it had to be the size of her arm. She could swear she felt it stretching her stomach. The naga hissed and squeezed the two of them together, mashing their chests against one another as lust claimed them both. She wasn't about to let self-control get in the way. This was a moment where she could fully indulge, and that was what she intended to do.

The writhing and pumping, moaning and gasping could be seen and heard for quite a ways. A few other players had caught sight of the act and decided to take a seat somewhere nearby so they could watch. A little voyeurism never hurt anyone after all. Quetza was fully aware of the fact that they were in public, and that other players could see them. It only fueled her desire, partially because she wanted to put on a good show, but also because she was turned on by being watched.

Meridia was unaware, but even if she had known, she likely wouldn't have cared. She was too lost in her desire to worry about decorum. And if this was a common practice in the mod, then it might very well have been part of that expected decorum. When in virtual reality, do as the players do, she thought to herself.

Flesh dragged against flesh as the snake's throbbing mast glided through the lupine's passage. Meridia clenched each time she felt the great spire slip out of her, then relaxed again as it sank back home. Each time the snake hilted inside her, the wolf's rump mashed down against a pair of sizable swells, each possibly the size of her head. Had that been part of character creation? Or had Quetza augmented herself after the fact? Could that be done? Could Meridia make modifications to herself like that? The questions were fleeting. Her thoughts refused to remain coherent as she tensed her legs to sink down hard on the snake.

A sheen of honey coated the snake's scaly tummy while the wolf's fur along the inside of her plump thighs was soaked. Her petals quivered as she was driven closer and closer to orgasm. She mashed her lips to Quetza's again, bringing one of her paws up to run her fingers through the plumage along the back of the snake's head. She was adoring this. It had to happen again sometime soon. She wouldn't stand for it being only a single encounter. And the naga was certainly eager to catch this little wolf again sometime in the future.

A mighty tremble passed up through the snake, running through the full length of her tail. Meridia felt a similar quake pass through her, just moments before she dragged her muzzle from Quetza's, threw her head back, and howled. A heavy splash gushed from between her legs as she was brought to climax. Her legs tensed and flexed hard, forcing the snake just as deep as their bodies would allow. The naga parted her jaws as well, letting out a loud hiss as her length spasmed and unleashed its torrent.

Heat raced through the short wolf. Her belly warmed with unearthly delight as she was given what felt like gallons of seed. In reality it wasn't quite as copious as that, but the sensation was such that she felt like she was being filled like a balloon connected to a tank of helium. Only this wasn't a gas. It was hot, thick, sticky snake spunk. Her tummy began to swell, giving Meridia reason to pant. She arched her back and yowled when her lungs permitted her, writhing about on the serpent. She wanted it all, everything Quetza could provide. And Quetza was eager to accommodate.

Slowly, the pair eased down from their moment of climax. The rigid coils holding the two of them together softened, becoming a comforting nest of warm feathers and muscle. Meridia huffed and lay there, limp in Quetza's grasp, still trying to cling to her, though she had so little strength left in her that she couldn't rightly hold on. Below, the great invader twitched gently, making the wolf softly jerk from time to time. The snake lowered herself to lay with the spent lupine, similarly breathless. She draped her arms around her new lover as she nuzzled in against her cheek.

Yes, this was a new friendship neither were interested in seeing come to a close anytime soon.

"I probably... should have warned you... I've made... a few tweaks... to my design." Quetza said.

"You're gonna hafta show me... how you managed that," Meridia replied, her eyes glassy and unfocused, "That was incredible."

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." the snake hissed softly in her ear.

"Seriously... once I get a few levels on me, you gotta show me how you mod yourself. I wanna know what all you can change." the wolf said.

"Maybe later. But first, we've got an issue of debt to consider." Quetza replied.

"Debt? Whaddaya mean debt?" Meridia asked, still a little woozy.

Before she could say anything else, she blinked her eyes, clearing them and focusing to see the snake's jaws closing in over her. She squealed in surprise, trying to struggle to get away. It was purely out of instinct. She knew she wasn't going to be harmed. It was just a game after all. But it was still a bit alarming opening your eyes to see someone trying to devour you.

Quetza quickly shoved the lupine lady's head into her maw, then held there. Rather than be mean and aggressive about it, she intended to show her new little friend what a 'good' predator could accomplish when properly motivated. She lapped softly across the canine's face, humming quietly in satisfaction. Apparently, she approved of how Meridia tasted.

That was a rather sizable shift from what the wolf was used to. Normally, the newbie was just shoved in without ceremony or consideration. Now, she was being appreciated. It made her shudder a little. Of course, the arm-sized length still plunged between her legs might have had something to do with it. If she had managed a scenario where she could enjoy a round of intimacy before being eaten, she might have thought differently of it. So already Quetza had a leg up from the five previous devourings. Ironic since she was a naga.

A moan sounded from inside the snake's jaws. That combined with the wolf's shift from 'struggle to get away' over to 'writhe in arousal' told her she was on the right track. The first swallow pushed her meal in until the lupine's shoulders were hugged by a pair of jaws. Meridia's head was sunk into the naga's throat. Slick, warm, pulsing flesh squeezed softly against her as she was eased in. There was another change she had noticed. Quetza wasn't using her teeth. And she had some; those big fangs the wolf had run her tongue across while they were making out. She appreciated the fact that they had been left out of this little exercise.

The second swallow had come fairly quick compared to how long Quetza had taken to get to the first, but then she had a good reason. In fact, she had two, and they were slipping into her jaws as she eased Meridia deeper into her gullet. Deft fingers worked diligently to guide the two rather sizable swells where they should go. Quetza grunted softly as she worked hard to stretch around them. Usually her meals weren't quite so top-heavy, but she wasn't going to complain.

A yowl rose up out of the snake's throat as Meridia's breasts were fondled, squeezed, and licked. She had no idea that such stimulation was not only possible in-game, but that it was so powerful. Each movement of the scaled and feathered lady's jaws saw her chest compressed and the movement of that eager, curious tongue kept her on edge. Her nipples hardened almost immediately, giving Quetza two very obvious targets to focus on. So she did exactly that. And in the process, she started to get a little carried away. She started to work her hips again, grinding into the well-filled wolf.

Meridia tightened the grasp of her legs, trying to lock her ankles around Quetza's waist. There was quite a bit of waist to reach around. She couldn't quite reach, but she tried none the less. After all, if she was getting a second ride, then she wanted to make the most of it. The naga recognized that desire and kept her progress nice and slow. She slurped greedily over her friend's chest as she pumped. Her coils pulled tighter around the both of them. By now, those who had taken up positions to spectate could see very little of what was going on.

After a time, the urge to gulp grew to be too great to ignore. Much as Quetza wanted to ignore it, her stomach would not be denied. So she swallowed again. That bountiful bust was pushed down into her throat where it was shown a similarly generous amount of attention. With no clothing to protect her from the contact of the massaging tissue wrapped around her, Meridia was finding this whole being swallowed thing to be rather delightful. Her noises of approval continued on, muffled by the snake's body, and her movement was that of someone trying to draw every last ounce of pleasure from her surroundings as she could.

The wolf's swollen tummy came next, worked into the naga's mouth. She was about to have to make a change in posture, but she couldn't let it go yet. She growled around her meal, as much as a snake could growl, and hammered her hips away. She wouldn't be denied one more good round. Meridia howled as she was pushed to climax once more. A splash of honey soaked the feathered serpent's front just in time for the well-endowed lady to finish as well. Quetza pumped deep into the wolf just before she unleashed another flood. Meridia's stomach surged once again, not quite doubling in size, but certainly gaining a significant amount of girth.

Quetza's eyes bulged as she felt her jaws strain on the expanding meal. It wasn't often she managed to get away with doing that to someone, and each time it was something of a surprise. And each time, she adored it. There was more of Meridia to stuff herself with, and she loved it. With a greedy, slow slurp to savor the freshly expanded tummy and the hips and legs that followed, Quetza continued her meal. Meridia shivered as she felt that sizable length slip out of her, leaving her whimpering. If only it could have stayed just a bit longer. Quetza was similarly disappointed once the warmth had slipped off her shaft. She needed to figure out how to get away with stuffing a friend and eating them at the same time so that she could keep them there for longer.

The notion of pulling them off her rod only to end up giving herself a good licking had run through her head on more than one occasion. And the idea of giving a recent meal a shower of snake spunk once they were in her stomach was similarly enticing. Maybe she could make a modification that would allow it somehow.

Meridia slipped in just far enough to feel her friend's tongue lash between her legs. The sopping wet loins that had been so marvelously abused were left available, with no attempt to deny the snake access at all. In fact, she rolled her hips downward against the naga's jaws to encourage her. Quetza tipped her head up as she sat up properly. The onlookers could see the wolf's legs sticking out of her mouth and the various bulges her snack made in the her form. Her palms moved to caress over her stomach which had already grown during the whole event.

The wolf's head was already in her belly. The chamber was warm, wet, and dark, and it rumbled strongly around her. It wasn't as unpleasant as the stomachs of the monsters that had eaten Meridia in the past. In fact, she thought this was actually quite cozy. Were she not so focused on Quetza licking her clean between her thighs, she might have taken greater appreciation of where she was slipping in. That would come later.

A muffled squeal came from under Quetza's scales and feathers as she pushed her meal to one more climax. She savored the taste of the wolf's nectar and gulped hard. From there, it was but a series of quick, short swallows that drew Meridia's paws to her lips. She wrapped her tongue around them and drew them into her jaws as if laying claim to the short, curvy wolf. One last squeeze of her throat sank the lupine completely out of sight. She sighed once her mouth was clear and she reclined in her coils, feeling over her tummy as it surged.

Meridia was brought to curl up in the surprisingly comfortable interior. With nothing assaulting her with any sort of sensuality, she could think straight for a moment or two. A burp shook her environment and the sensation of paws patting over her trapped form reminded her just what had happened. She had been eaten. It had been a far more pleasing experience than times past, but she had still been eaten.

"You sneaky, slimy snake! You had planned on eating me all along, hadn't you!?" the wolf cried out, only somewhat angry.

After all, the intense experience leading to it had made it much more palatable.

"What can I say? I love eating cute short-stacks like you. And you were delicious. I gotta hunt you down and gobble you up again sometime." Quetza replied.

"I thought you had changed your mind about eating me when you saw how down I was." Meridia said.

"Well, sorta, yeah," the snake said, still reclined comfortably against her tail, "I mean, I'm glad I could help cheer you up, and I hope you have better luck... but it's still a PVP area. You know what that means."

"Yeah, I know," Meridia huffed in annoyance, then continued after a beat, "Can I add you to my friends list? Ya know... in case you wanna do that again?"

"Oh ho! Now that little wolf girl's got a taste for being eaten the right way, she can't get enough of the great Quetzalcoatl!" the naga said with a snicker, "Yeah, sure. I love making new friends on here, especially when they're as fun as you."

A prompt appeared in Meridia's field of vision amidst the darkness of Quetza's belly. It asked if she wanted to connect with Quetza and become friends. She agreed of course. Once that was settled, the wolf turned herself about so that she was a little more comfortable. The happy noises that Quetza made in response suggested that she could keep doing that and the snake might not ever let her out.

"So what happens now?" Meridia asked.

"I digest you. I get some buffs from digesting you. I slither off to keep playing the game, maybe gobble up someone else. You respawn, and you go try to eat someone yourself."

"Okay... so... guess I'll see you later?" the wolf said, almost sounding like she wasn't sure.

"Oh you bet you'll see me later. Though, probably not until it's too late to get away." Quetza said with a laugh, patting her large, round, wolf-shaped belly.

She had been curvy, but certainly not fat. Now that she had eaten Meridia, she had quite the tummy. It was large enough to give the impression that she was extremely pregnant. Such a notion prompted her to wonder if the lupine would enjoy an alternate means of being stuffed in her somewhere. And that method facilitated a longer stay inside another creature. Maybe the wolf would like that too. Quetza certainly liked the idea of a prolonged occupation. Slithering through the brush, belly swollen with a friend as though she were their mother. It was a pretty thought.

Another belch filled the air as the naga began working on her meal, breaking it down. Meridia fell asleep and lost her connection to the world inside the snake. Quetza uncoiled herself and began to slither off, all to the applause of those who had been watching. Apparently she had indeed put on a good show. The various boons she gained from digesting another player appeared in her HUD and she grinned, sending Meridia a quick message thanking her for the buffs.

The game world came screaming back to Meridia as she respawned. Part of her was sad to see the naga's belly go, but then she had a newfound drive to try one more time at successfully defeating and devouring a creature her size, or even a bit bigger. Quetza's suggestions were followed this time. She hunted down small creatures, minor mobs meant for a starting player. Little by little she managed to increase her skills and gain a couple of levels. But that wasn't the manner in which she had hoped to spend the majority of her time doing in game. Once she was satisfied with her additional abilities, meager though they were compared to more experienced players, she felt she was ready to tackle something larger.

And it just so happened that she was interested in showing Quetza what she could do when next they met. That informed her as to what her first real target should be. There was a region south of the starter area that boasted some impressive challenges for low-level characters. That was where she was headed. She kept herself hidden as she studied what mobs were in the area. There were lizard-men like the one that ate her before meeting Quetza. There were large wolf-like beasts. There were even rat-shaped bandits. But none of them interested the short lady. What caught her eye was a scaled creature that slithered about in a large circle around the area. It would strike from time to time at some of the other mobs, but nothing ever came of it. The game made sure that these NPC's couldn't level out of control by eating each other. Otherwise, Meridia might not have come to this particular area.

The naga was perfect in her mind. What better way to show off to her new friend when next they met than to demonstrate on her directly? And this would make for excellent practice. She just had to get it away from the other monsters so she wouldn't draw a crowd of them. Thankfully, as a rogue, she had some expertise in selective targeting. When the timing was right, Meridia pounced. She stealthily approached the only other creature within too close a range of the naga, then stabbed it in the back. Thankfully it wasn't so high a level that she couldn't deal a considerable blow. It was badly wounded, then bound so it couldn't give chase. Then, the lupine used a quick ball of flame to get the naga's attention.

It worked marvelously, making the angry snake turn, sight her, hiss, and pursue. Meridia led the beast away from the more populated area, then turned to do battle. It followed without hesitation. The fight was difficult to say the least. On more than one occasion, the wolf thought she might need to flee, but she managed to hold her ground. When both combatants reached a critical point, the naga lunged, coiling its tail around the wolf's ankles. She yelped and fell as her lower half was trapped. The naga opened his jaws, prepared to devour her. It even got her head in its mouth. But quick thinking on her part managed to save the wolf.

She drove her dagger home into one of the scaled monster's shoulders, making it howl in pain. The dark, damp cave of his gullet retreated from over her and its grip on her loosened. That was when she took her chance to return the favor. Meridia stretched her jaws back and forth, then opened wide. One good push saw the naga's head stuffed into her maw. It hissed loudly and angrily, lashing itself about to try and stop her, but the added skill level to her ability to devour had made the difference. The hidden roll of the digital dice had come out in her favor. She swallowed, not bothering to take her time, only to stuff the beast in as quickly as she could.

Meridia's gullet stretched to contain her meal, feeling almost painful as she was pushed to her limits. Her belly surged outward as she managed to reach the naga's hips. Her less than impressive armor was pushed off of her as she bulged, growing more and more with every swallow. Soon, she as too heavy to walk so she sat down with a thud. Too much of the snake was inside her now for it to successful retreat. All she could do was keep swallowing, so she did. The wolf slurped noisily over the fat, green noodle she had caught. Soon, the last of its tail passed her jaws and she sighed, then flopped onto her back.

A loud gurgle came from her overstuffed gut. It was huge, a mountain that utterly dominated her entire form. It was at least twice as big as the rest of her. A warning appeared in her HUD telling her she was over-encumbered. She wouldn't be able to move until she dropped something heavy. She wasn't about to deal with any of that at the moment. Her victory wasn't going to be made short just because she couldn't move. A loud, ground-shaking belch worked its way out of the over-fed wolf. She huffed and massaged her vast, squirming belly. Compared to her, it was impossibly big. It felt so strange to be so full. It was uncomfortable, like a monstrous stomach ache. And yet, she was enjoying it. She had lived up to her name, 'Meridia the Gluttonous'.

That made her giggle as she started to digest the naga. With a little quick thinking, she activated the screen-capture function in the game. She carefully positioned the camera so it would capture all of her as best she could manage. A portion of her gut was unable to fit in frame from where she was. But that was fine. The viewer could easily see just how big it was. She snapped the photo and sent it to her album, ready to share with her friends, the feathered naga included.

As for the snake in her gut, its squirms and struggles slowed as she watched its health meter drop. Then, when it finally vanished, her belly groaned loudly one more time. A number of boons and buffs appeared in her display. While she was that powerful, she would be able to take on a couple of those more difficult monsters at the same time. And if she could get her belly empty again before they ran out, she might be able to make a meal of one or two of them.

"Heh, just wait 'til Quetza gets a load of me next time. I bet she tastes great." Meridia snickered to herself, anticipating an even bigger, more active stomach.
