He didn't consider himself some professional\n\nthrifter or collector, but when he heard about a store in his university's town specializing in old\n\nbooks, he knew a visit was warranted.\n\nWithout a name lining the building, the only thing beckoning customers to enter was a half\n\nhanging open-sign and a dusty window which showed lights were on. Assuming it was the\n\ncorrect place, Theo cracked open the heavy door and entered inside.\n\nTransfixed with the chaotic view in front of him, Theo didn't immediately notice the frail old\n\nwoman sitting behind a counter. Almost startled with her incredibly old appearance, Theo\n\nstepped over the cluttered floor near the entrance and approached the lady who watched him\n\nwith bloodshot eyes.\n\n\"Hey, is this the novel thrift store? I'm interested in buying some older books if you got them?\"\n\nTheo asked, still nervous with his surroundings and the frail woman.\n\nThe lady pointed a long black and blue bruised finger towards the back of the store.\n\n\"What you want, is back there\"\n\nTaking the hint she was no talker, Theo thanked her and carefully walked towards the back of\n\nthe store. As far as he could see, long wooden shelves of clutter and trinkets lined the walls.\n\nClouded glass cases contained strange rings and jewelry, others showing off a range of curved\n\nknives and daggers. Though most of these things didn't seem all that interesting to him.\n\nReaching the barely lit back of the store, Theo finally found the endless stacks of books, almost\n\nall layered with dust and cobwebs. Most appeared beyond saving, their covers falling apart or\n\ndamp with mildew. Those that were in passable condition offering nothing particularly unique,\n\nsimply long pages of long forgotten stories now turned myth and legend. Tales of beasts and\n\nstrange magic. These books were thrown aside for Theo had little regard for reading Harry\n\nPotter. After spending nearly half an hour in the store, still unable to find anything, Theo\n\ndisappointingly began to head back to the front. On his way back though, a large book left alone\n\ncaught Theo's attention.\n\nSitting in a dark corner, the book appeared different from the other rotting ones. Moving closer,\n\nTheo saw its intricate details which lined a dark binding. A thick green circle with another smaller circle on the inside sat directly in the center of the cover. The green of the two rings glinting ever so slightly, reflecting strongly against Theo's brown eyes.\n\nThin green lines were cut throughout the cover, all originating from the innermost circle.\n\nAlthough just some image on the front of a book, the unique glowing greens created the illusion\n\nthat the rings were almost moving and pulsating on their own, sending out the green lines\n\nacross the cover's front. In the barely lit backroom though, dust literally hanging in the air, Theo\n\nassumed this to be a simple trick of the eye and proceeded to pick up the large object.\n\nWhat he originally thought was just leather on the cover, quickly changed when he felt short\n\ncoarse hairs attached across the wrinkled-skinned binding. The hairs themselves, slick to the\n\ntouch, almost matching some rodent one might see near the trash. Having heard about books\n\ncovered in literal human skin before though, Theo remained entirely intrigued rather than\n\ndisgusted with what he was holding.\n\nTurning the hairy book on its side, no other markings provided hints of its author or contents\n\ninside. The pages stained a dark yellow that Theo only assumed was the result of water\n\ndamage. Clumped together into one solid mass, the stuck sheets made it impossible to open\n\nthe book no matter how much pressure was applied. Though such pressure was difficult as\n\nTheo's fingers easily slicked across the oily hairs, unable to form a grip. Sliding his now slightly\n\nsticky hands across the circles, Theo noticed how they were slightly raised on the binding,\n\nalmost bouncy to the touch. Each prod sending slight shudders and pulses across the book and\n\nits hairs. Quickly snapping himself out of rubbing the book's cover though and somehow\n\nignoring his new greasy fingers, Theo decided he needed to take this thing home.\n\nWalking to the front of the store, book in hand, Theo noticed the old lady no longer remained at\n\nthe counter. Replacing her simply sat a note which read \"pay what you can.\" Throwing a twenty\n\non the counter, Theo walked out, allowing the door to slam behind him as he quickly walked\n\nback to his apartment.\n\n**\u0026nbsp;**\n\nKeys opening the apartment door, Theo stepped into a smoke filled living room, his roommate\n\nSean sitting on the couch smoking weed. Theo threw his wallet and keys onto the counter, the\n\nbook still in his other hand.\n\n\"Hey man, how was the bookstore?\" Sean lazily inquired.\n\n\"Eh, kind of disappointing to be honest, but I bought this weird thing for 20 bucks,\" Theo\n\nresponded as he threw the book onto the leather ottoman in front of Sean and the couch.\n\nMoving closer to look at the circles on the cover Sean joked, \"is this a green donut?\" Weed\n\nflavored laughs erupting from him as he asked.\n\n\"To be honest man, I don't even know. The book is stuck shut and I think it's binded in some\n\nweird animal skin.\" Theo said as he sat next to him on the comfy couch.\n\n\"You bought a book that doesn't open?\" Sean sarcastically teased, his fingers moving down to\n\ntouch the thing. Though unlike Theo, Sean's hands immediately recoiled when he felt the slick\n\nsticky hairs across the cover.\n\n\"You wasted your money man. This shit is gross,\" Sean said leaning back into the couch.\n\n\"Yea you're probably right. You know how I like this old stuff though. I figured it was worth the\n\nbuy,\" Theo quickly deflected, his eyes looking at the two green circles.\n\n\"I just wish I could open the damn thing\" he sighed as Theo once again picked it up to inspect\n\nthe pages.\n\nThe palm of his hand laying against the cover's inner circle, Theo noticed the pages were now\n\nslowly unsticking in the middle. His palm absently pushed into the raised ring, prodding it and\n\nfeeling its fleshy texture. Sean looked grossly on, not believing Theo was actually touching this\n\nthing.\n\n\"I think it's opening man,\" Theo excitedly yelled as sticky strands emerged between the\n\nreleasing discolored pages. Moving his two fingers down, Theo pushed more into the ring,\n\nalmost flattening the thick-skinned circle on the cover. Gravity winning against the wet pages\n\nand with a sickly sounding flop, the book finally opened completely into Theo's hands.\n\nPlacing it back onto the ottoman, Theo leaned in with Sean to look closer. The book appeared\n\neven larger now that its binding was stretched and laid flat in front of the puzzled boys. The\n\npages covered with what appeared to be a thin layer of glossy slime that smelled of damp must.\n\nRaised stains randomly marked the inside, almost as if something was allowed to drip and drool\n\nacross. A language neither of the boys recognized was madly scribbled in dark red ink\n\nthroughout.\n\nSticking out the most though was the drawing that snaked throughout the background. Shaded\n\nan array of glowing greens, a strange appendage coiled and curved underneath the foreign\n\nscribbles and stains. Dense membrane ran along what both boys could only assume to be\n\nsome freakishly long drawing of a hairless tail. The image almost demanded admiration as Sean\n\nand Theo's blue and brown eyes examined it like a maze. Starting at its broad-fleshed start and\n\nfollowing to its vertically pointed finish, the thin tail's ending pointed to three etched words\n\ncentered between the pages, directing the boys to look there.\n\nThese words were different from the other scribbles as they were in English and were sliced into\n\nthe book rather than painted. Still high from smoking before, Sean slowly read aloud the three\n\nwords without warning.\n\n\"Cathedral of Rats\"\n\nAlmost immediately after Sean read the words, the two boys were snapped away. The book\n\ngone. Nothing but slowly fading imprints on the couch and wet stains on the ottoman remaining.\n\nAn empty buzz hummed within Sean and Theo's minds for what seemed like hours. They were\n\nnothing. They were nowhere. They didn't exist. Until very suddenly they did. Both boys flopped\n\nhard onto a tiled ground, gasping for breaths desperate for oxygen as if they were underwater.\n\nOn all fours, it was Theo who first managed to slowly raise his head and survey his\n\nsurroundings in horror. No longer in their living room anymore, they both laid on the floor of a\n\nmassive gothic cathedral.\n\nSean was laying on his chest barely moving. Soft painful groans escaping his mouth every so\n\noften. Theo, still panting, slowly stood up in the darkness to check on his friend. Almost\n\ndetecting his movements, large lamps surrounding them exploded with green colored flames,\n\ncoating the area in dancing shadows. The area lit, Theo could see his horrible surroundings in\n\nfull. Black marbled pillars lined the walls and supported the cathedral's structure. Melting\n\ncandles leaked yellow wax upon stacked human skulls. Rows of dirty-stained glass stretched\n\nfrom the tiled floors to the ceiling where a large cracked fresco, once containing the depiction of\n\nsome holy figure, sat cracked and unrecognizable.\n\nCloaked in green shadows towards the front, standing at the center of an elevated gold plated\n\naltar, was a true eldritch abomination. Theo's mind could only conceptualize this monster as\n\nsome gigantic humanoid rat. Clawed feet laid the foundation for its legs and rippled thighs which\n\nsupported the creature's massive frame. Stained fur, tinted green from the nearby fires, was\n\nsleek with gloss from a heavy sweat that was constantly produced. It was impossible to admire\n\nanything else on the rat without noticing the incredibly thick-uncut cock which swung between\n\nthe rat's massive legs. Supported by two churning nuts, a bulging vein pulsated and throbbed\n\ninto the rat's shaft, flaring its enlarging tip to allow cum to slowly drip onto the marble steps.\n\nA chiseled pair of abs lined with a furred happy trail directed any viewer to both its cock and to\n\nthe rat's huge bouncing pecs. Plump nipples upon the swollen chest sat fat and swollen with\n\ndesire, eager to be squeezed and admired by some new young ratlings. A muscled pair of arms\n\nconnected to the creature's broad chest ended in furred padded hands with sharp curved claws.\n\nOne hand holding the book Theo bought. The other hand hanging upwards, two fingers pointing\n\nup to the ceiling.\n\nConnected by a neck ripped with muscle sat a furred head facing forward. The rat's long snout\n\ndevilishly grinned at the two boys. Wicked stained teeth and two pointed canines hung outside\n\nas the rat's mouth curved into a smile. Gelatinous drips of saliva starting to collect on the rat's\n\nleathery fleshed lips. Sunken black eyes with swirls of green beamed upon the two boys,\n\ndesperate to study them further. Upon the monster's furred head, two large cartilage lined ears\n\nflittered with sensations as the creature picked up every sound around its cathedral.\n\nAn impossibly long hairless tail connected to the rat, slithered and wormed in the air, somehow\n\ndefying gravity. Snaking around with a mind of its own, the tail and its membraned rings flexed\n\nand whipped across, exuding a terrifying energy across the cathedral. Seeing this monstrosity,\n\npart of Theo's mind recognized that this monster's fur matched that from the book cover. The\n\nlong tail also identical to the drawing inside.\u0026nbsp;\n\nRecognizing all this, Theo didn't know whether to run in terror leaving behind Sean or try, likely without success, to fight this massive creature. Instead of acting though, Theo simply stood in place, unable to leave the swirling rat's eyes. In an explosion of green light, the same doubled rings on the cover of the book, materialized like magic above the rat. Each circle pulsed, sending out green lines of energy directly towards the two boys. Sean, finally beginning to wake up, was slammed in the face and chest with the lines of green magic before he could even register the creature in front of him. The impact knocking him back down. Theo, able to snap out of his paralysis, quickly ran over to Sean to check if he was ok. Rolling him over, Theo sighed with relief as Sean moaned and opened his eyes. Though such relief quickly turned to dread when Theo noticed Sean's blue eyes now swirled with dazzling green wisps, matching the rats on the altar.\n\nImmediately Sean locked his arms around Theo, locking him in place as the two began\n\nwrestling around the tiled floor.\n\n\"What the fuck are you doing Sean,\" Theo desperately screamed as the two struggled against\n\neach other.\n\nThough no response was given. A goofy grin spread across Sean's lips as he squeezed tighter\n\nand began bucking his hips against his roommate. Theo flushed red with horror and\n\nembarrassment as his former friend grinded against him. All the while, the humanoid rat on the\n\naltar watching on. His fingers commanding the rings of energy above him which continued to\n\nsend green energy towards the two boys.\n\nPushing against his chest, Theo tried with all his strength to separate himself against his larger\n\nroommate. Sean's tongue hung lazily out his mouth as his hips bucked for stimulation, no\n\nrecognition for what he was thrusting into as the two boys' bulging members grinded together.\n\nUnable to escape, green waves of magic penetrated Theo as well, a cloud of lust swarming his\n\nconfused mind. Fear and horror quickly receded as rational thought slowly chipped away.\n\nStruggling less, Theo thrust against Sean in return, the two locked in an ever aggressive frot.\n\nEyes swirling a terrible green, Sean pushed his neck forward to meet Theo in a sloppy kiss.\n\nForgetting all about the book, their apartment, their past preferences of women. Nothing else\n\nmattered. The two boy's tongues met madly together, dancing in each other's mouths as hot\n\nbreaths blew across, their minds both swimming in passion and green. Every frot slamming two\n\nstrained cocks against each other, desperate to be free from the confines of their stretching\n\npants.\n\nAs the boys madly kissed, their tongues swelled in each other's mouths, slathering over teeth\n\nthat painfully came to new sharp points. Theo pushed his face away feeling the difference. Sean\n\nnow showing off white patches of sleek fur, his face slightly pointing forward. Theo noticed his\n\nown nose increasingly took up space within his vision as he slathered his thick tongue across\n\nhis lengthening teeth.\n\nSean was desperate for more stimulation though and quickly forced himself back into a sloppy\n\nkiss with his roommate. As the two continued rolling along the floor, a powerful odor of musk hit\n\nthe two boys' noses as they both worked up a slick sweat. The rat monster on the altar flaring\n\nhis large nostrils as he took in the scent of the transforming boys, his own cock beginning to\n\nharden.\n\nTheo once again drew his head back from Sean, gasping wildly seeing even more white fur\n\nspreading across his roommate. Sean's former blue eyes now an empty black, swimming wildly\n\nwith green swirls. Before Theo could question anything with rational thought, Sean used his\n\nelongated fingers and sharpening fingernails to rip open Theo's shirt with incredible strength.\n\nReleased to the sweat soaked air, a thick stained mane emerged underneath.\n\nSean ripped the remaining shirt off of Theo and threw his own sweatshirt over his head before\n\ngoing back in. Both boys now sporting a coat of slick matted hair matching the large rat on the\n\naltar. Their snouts increasing in length, basking in each other's delicious musk, grinding their\n\nglossy coats and feeling their damp furs with their new growing claws as the boys' glands\n\nworked overtime to produce corrupting sweat.\n\nSean and Theo watched each other grow and buckle with pleasure and muscle, saliva dripping\n\nfrom their finished maws. Admiration and desire swelling their sunken eyes as fur crept up their\n\nfaces, ears expanding and moving to the top of furred heads. The only thing separating the new\n\nidentical looking rat's being an industrial piercing that stayed in Sean's ear.\n\nTheo's eyes drooped lazy as the sexy whiskered face of a rat emerged before him. Sean,\n\naccepting Theos submission, moved his claws towards his roommate's pants and underwear,\n\npushing them down to free his fat, swelling cockhead. Theo reciprocated the desire. Both boys\n\nwith pants pulled to their expanding furred thighs, once again slammed into each other in hot\n\npassion. Cocks free as they slid and rubbed fur on fur. The boys humped and rolled until Sean\n\nfinally felt comfortable and was on top. Both of his claws flat against the tile for stability, Sean\n\naggressively frotted against his roommate. His ratlike shaft slick with pre, rubbed along the top\n\nof Theo's flared head, sliding all the way down his balls and back up. Tinted cum rubbing into\n\nthe boys making them slick and filthy. Their balls pumped and squeezed against each other,\n\ngrowing fat and plump with green energy and corrupting semen.\n\nSnarling with animalistic passion, Sean slid his corrupted dick even more south. Prodding and\n\nedging Theo's swollen ass desperate to be penetrated. Sean's cock head sliding against his\n\nhole making it quiver and pulse as cum lined the thick flesh. Theo slammed his head back to the\n\nground, completely overwhelmed with sensations and pleasure which melted his shrinking\n\nbrain. His long tongue hanging out his mouth as he panted with desire, desperate to be claimed\n\nby his former friend.\n\nFur fully spread down their thighs and legs, fully formed rat tails tore their pants and underwear\n\nas the appendages aggressively rubbed and coiled against each other. The hairless tails\n\ntwisting as they slithered up and down across one another's thick rings of flesh lining their\n\nsensitive new limbs. Thighs of the two boys became lined with muscle with each grind. Both of\n\nthe roommates gifted with plump new asses which shook with each frot.\n\nThe large rat stepped down the altar proud of his work as he approached his two new ratlings.\n\nHis tail dragged behind him, clawed feet menacingly tapping the tiles as he walked. His cock\n\nimpossibly swollen, desperate for suiters as he finally stood over the two smaller rats and took in\n\ntheir new scents.\n\nOn the verge of penetration, Sean and Theo suddenly stopped their mad grind to look up at a\n\nlarger fellow rat towering over them. Both were hit with an intoxicating masculine smell of musk\n\nwhich fogged their ever muddled brains even more. The young rats looked up in admiration and\n\nwere met with an incredibly large cock and set of balls which hung lazily in front of their panting\n\nmaws.\n\nWithout question, the two former humans separated from each other and jumped onto this new\n\ndick presented before them. The odor emanating from the organ encouraging them on, Sean\n\nand Theo utilized their bulky new tongues and long snouts to slather and lick at their master's\n\nshaft. Licking away the sweat and cum which lined the throbbing mass before them. Tongues\n\nboth lapped over each other as their maws met, resuming their aggressive makeout but this\n\ntime, a new plump shaft between them.\n\nThe larger rat looked upon his creations, thick pecs almost blocking his maw from view of the\n\nboys who occasionally looked up for approval. The large rat watched his ratling's swirling green\n\neyes edge them on as they lathered at his veiny appendage. The large tail that floated behind\n\nhim before, slid around the two roommates, dragging them in closer. Two of his clawed hands\n\nplaced against the back of the young rat's manes, pushing their snouts even closer together,\n\ntongues sliding and idolizing over the pulsating veins.\n\nPressure within his balls rising as they began to squeeze and churn, the largest rat's swollen shaft was finally ready to bless these boys. The massive dick erupted into a torrent of stained\n\nthick seed onto the two ratlings, coating their already sweat-covered fur and painting their long\n\nsnouts with salty corruption. Sean and Theo drunkenly lapped up their master's cum, enjoying\n\nthe shower as they continued licking away, getting slick and slippery like the good new rats they\n\nwere. Their own clawed hands sneaking down to their own cocks, rutting into their palms with\n\nthe slick new cum that dripped down.\n\nAfter minutes of orgasm, the large rat admired his work as his cock slowly grew limp, though still\n\nmaintaining its enormous size. The new ratlings no longer smelled of humans. Their minds both\n\ncompletely altered to forget their former lives. Their fur dripping and slick with their master's\n\nseed. They were his.\n\nAppreciating their work though, the larger rat felt It was time to allow these new rattlings to enjoy\n\ntheir new bodies. Being that Sean was the first to submit to the corruption, with a wave of his\n\ntwo fingers, the rat master allowed the two to continue what he interrupted before, though he'd\n\nbe joining in this time. The rat formerly known as Sean pounced back upon Theo to continue\n\nwhere they left off. Their furs so wet, slick strands of cum pulling at the two as grinds continued.\n\nThis time though there was no teasing. Immediately, Sean's lubed cock slammed into Theo.\n\nTheir balls aggressively slapping against one another as Sean's long shaft assaulted Theo's\n\nenlarged prostate. Both boys grunting with animalistic groans. Sean, on top of Theo, admired and licked at Theo's muscled pecs as he slammed into his friend's body.\n\nThe largest rat couldn't help but notice Theo's new snout missing out. Walking over to the boy,\n\nthe rat master squatted over Theo's face, lowering his puckered ass without warning. Theo, in\n\nabsolute bliss from his prostate being pounded over and over by his rat brother, was soon met\n\nwith a fat hairy ass squatting over him. If his mind retained any knowledge from before, this\n\npucker would have clicked that it matched the fleshed donut on the cover of the book he bought.\n\nBut that Theo didn't exist anymore, instead, his two clawed hands spread his master's hairy\n\ncheeks, thick tongue shooting forward as he shoved his snout deep into a musky puckering\n\ntailhole, drawing in its virile stench.\n\nThe three rat's tails tangled against each other as they were collectively pleasured. Their bodies\n\nmoving as one as wet flesh entered musky holes, bodies unified in a grind of passionate sex.\n\nSean's cock unable to hold back anymore, spasmed inside, flaring deep as a wave of cum\n\nslammed into Theo's ass and flushed back outside his hole. At the same time, Theo's dick, stimulated from the first time his prostate has ever been rammed, swelled impossibly large until it too exploded with a torrent of yellow cum. The largest rat flushed with pleasure as he was sloppingly rimmed by Theo's pointed snout, once again blessed the group with another orgasm of thickly stained seed. His cock bouncing up and down across Theo's chin with each torrent of cum that saturated all three of them.\n\nRecovering from their orgy, the rats collapsed in a mass of tails and cum matted furs. Gooning\n\nand panting over each other's pleasures and scents as their rat cocks continued to twitch and\n\nspasm. Each breath drawing in musk, somehow swelling their shafts once again as hips bucked\n\nand minds demanded to be absorbed by pleasure again. As another round began once again,\n\nthey only wished they had another brother to join the fun.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
