Beware the Tentacle Demon (Ea)(TG-Empress)

A TG-Empress request for last_of_workers

Over the past two years, many tales have popped up about the Tentacle Demon. Some say it’s a demon from hell who comes for those that are bad, while others say it’s merely a monster that likes to feed on the flesh of humans with its tentacles.

The truth is that the Tentacle Demon is actually a young mage named Phoenix. Phoenix was only eighteen years old and had only been traveling the world for two years, but he was a very talented mage and specialized in combat direction arts.

Using magic, Phoenix can give himself not only great control of the weapon he uses but also the ability to control it without even having it in his hand. He can make the weapon stronger, make the weapons longer or shorter, and even cast spells through them.

All those things make him an amazing fighter, and when you pair that with the fact that his weapon of choice is a set of ropes, he’s pretty unbeatable, even if there are a couple dozen enemies surrounding him, which has happened a few times.

It was through interactions with bandits and other thugs that he earned his name and reputation, as those who manage to make it out alive can only explain his immense power by thinking he’s some sort of monster.

Phoenix was fine with the rumors, as he didn’t really care; all he really cared about was traveling the world looking for new ways to grow stronger and getting rid of as many bandits as he could along the way.

After one of his last battles, he managed to recover an old tome that mentioned a way for a mage to get even stronger, and that was by capturing an ancient spirit and instilling it into an object; in this case, it would be Phoenix’s ropes since he uses them the most.

Phoenix tracked down the spirit, and a battle broke out between them immediately. Phoenix used his magic to make his ropes float all around him, which made it look like he had tentacles spewing out of his body.

He then made several of them as hard as steel and sent them flying after the spirit. Thanks to his magic, he could stretch them out as he needed in order to hit the spirit, and thanks to being imbued with his magic, the ropes could actually hurt it.

He hit the spirit a few times using this method, and the spirit finally realized it needed to fight back, so he tried to charge at him. Phoenix simply pulled all his ropes back to him and had them completely cover him before making them all hard again.

That deflected the spirit's attack, and since the spirit was up close to him now, it allowed Phoenix to use all of his ropes to tie up the spirit. The spirit now in his grasp, Phoenix used the spell from the tome to bind the spirit to his ropes in order to make himself stronger.

Well, the spell worked for putting the spirit into the ropes, but the whole plan quickly backfired on Phoenix. He was unfortunately unable to maintain control over the spirit once it was bound, and it intercepted control over his ropes.

It now fully controlled them, and it took full advantage of that. The ropes slipped under his robes and tied themselves around his legs; they then made his feet start moving. Phoenix was confused and trying to fight it, but in the end, the spirit using the ropes walked him over to a wooden signpost.

The spirit then used the rest of the ropes to tie Phoenix up. One set of rope went around his waist, another two around his upper and lower chest, and another around his wrists, then all the ends of those ropes were tied around the signpost in a very tight knot.

Then the rope around his feet tied itself around the signpost as well, leaving Phoenix bound and trapped in place. Phoenix thought this was the extent of the spirit's revenge on him for doing this to it, but it turned out to only be the beginning.

Just like how Phoenix was able to cast magic through the ropes, so too was the spirit, and it began to do so now that Phoenix couldn’t escape. Phoenix had no idea what kind of magic this spirit could cast, and he was expecting it to be bad.

It turned out not to be bad in the sense that Phoenix was going to die, only bad in the sense that it was utterly humiliating. The spirit, having basically captured him, leaving him helpless, also decided to turn him into a girl.

Phoenix first noticed his hair growing past his face and was confused. There were more changes happening at the time, like his entire body getting shorter and slimmer, his waist getting thinner, and his hips getting wider.

He couldn’t see those changes, though, so he still had no idea what was going on until he felt a pressure in his chest and then heard the fabric from his clothes starting to rip. He looked down just in time to watch a pair of large breasts come bursting through his robes.

Phoenix gasped at the sight of them, then moments later he gasped again when he felt his manhood being sucked up inside him. It took Phoenix a few minutes to process, but it finally clicked what the spirit had done: it bound her up and turned her into a girl.

She was basically a damsel in distress now. A cute, helpless girl caught by a mean spirit; of course, it was sort of her own doing. Not knowing what to do, Phoenix awkwardly asked the spirit to let her go and turn her back into a guy.

She was surprised to hear from the spirit, who told her it could do those things if she released it. Phoenix let out an awkward laugh and admitted the book didn’t have a way to set the spirit free once it was put into an object.

That annoyed the spirit, who then said that if it was trapped like this, then it would keep Phoenix trapped like this. Phoenix started to plead with the spirit not to do that, saying she’d die if she didn’t eat or drink.

The spirit said that was her problem, but Phoenix managed to bring up a good point. The spirit wasn’t going to be able to find a way to free itself on its own, but if it would let her, they could travel together and look for a way to do that.

The spirit thought about it and agreed that was a better idea than holding her here and being stuck as a rope. The spirit then released Phoenix from the ropes but quickly tied itself in several different places, places that would allow the spirit to control Phoenix’s body should it need to.

However, for now, Phoenix was able to move freely again. The first thing she did was look down at her very large chest. She gulped when she saw it, then she asked the spirit if it could reverse the changes.

The spirit laughed at her and said no, that it was going to keep her like this until she found a way to free it. The spirit then told her to think of it as motivation to free it quickly. Phoenix sighed, and she knew she wasn’t going to convince it or get free of her feminine form or the spirit-possessed ropes.

So she had little choice but to continue her adventures as a woman, fighting slightly differently than she was used to. The spirit now controls her ropes and does a lot of the fighting, as now that it possesses the rope, it can do all the things Phoenix used to do to them.

Making them longer, harder, or even sharp if needed. As time went on, the two bonded in their travels more and more and began to work better and better as a team, and just as the spell promised, both of them were far stronger for it.

The spirit trusted Phoenix enough to let her control the ropes sometimes, even casting spells through them like she used to, while Phoenix began to trust the spirit enough to not worry when it took over her body and started to move for her.

The rumors about the Tentacle Demon only got worse as the two traveled together, as now not only was it going around that the demon changed gender in order to lure more men in, but there were also rumors about the deeper, scary voice that it tends to use to argue with itself.

It was likely the world would never know that the Tentacle Demon was just a guy who tried to capture a spirit to get stronger, failed, got turned into a girl, and now travels with that spirit arguing like best friends do.

The day may yet come when Phoenix finally discovers a tome that tells how to release a captured spirit from an object, and in freeing the spirit, she’ll return to her old male self, but after bonding, neither Phoenix nor the spirit was in a rush for that day to come.
