From the thumbnail, he was surprised that this streamer had zero viewers at the moment; a revealing rose-hued dress that displayed terms of service-breaking amounts of cleavage, long crimson hair, a black headband with devil horns on it, and a cute smile that could light up a room... She wasn't even a vtuber, it was all real! Why wasn't anyone watching her?
He checked what game she was streaming; a singleplayer turn based RPG he had never heard of. Alright. He could work with this. After microwaving some leftover coffee from earlier in the day, he went back to his gaming chair in his bedroom, adjusted his laptop on his desk for the optimal viewing experience, and clicked the stream preview to watch it.
It took a few seconds for her to notice her new viewer, and when she did, she paused the game.
"Oh! Hi!!!! Helloooo!" She bounced slightly as she said it, and as he looked at the jiggling, he was even more confused as to why she had literally no other viewers. Thirst traps worked! Why wasn't this one? Or did she just start streaming one minute ago? Her viewership would probably grow by a hundred thousand percent in about five minutes.
"My username is in the corner right over there, but you can call me anything! I'm a demon girl who plays video games! I'm just doing some RPG gaming today. I hope you'll stay a while!"
Something seemed off about the way she moved and bobbed around. While the thought stuck in his mind, he typed a message in the empty chat.
"hi just got curious about this stream, is the game any good"
"It's great! I hope! I just started playing it today!"
It finally occurred to him what was uncanny. She was moving like she was impersonating a vtuber and their styles of tilting and wobbling and emoting. Although he wasn't entirely sure why she would want to move like that, it had to be a deliberate choice, and he supposed he could respect that.
As she unpaused the game and her pixel art character started walking around in the forest again, he took a moment to look at the background of her streaming setup. It was some kind of very well drawn, anime-like bedroom with bisexual lighting, obviously green screened in, although he couldn't see any green screen failures anywhere on screen, even around her hair; she was good at that.
He started typing something else.
"so i thought you'd get a lot more viewers than this, you look great!"
"Oh, you know how it is. There's a million people streaming at any given time. You're lucky if you get one view! Me, I'm just playing games I enjoy and streaming them. Even if nobody's watching, I'm still having fun!"
"but come on you look GREAT"
"That's just how demons look! We look really cute so we can lure people in. Guess it worked on you!"
He felt a little embarrassed to admit it, but...
"eh... maybe... yeah it worked lmao. im definitely gonna stick around for a while. i dont have much else to do tonight"
"Me neither! So relax and enjoy the stream."
He took a sip of his coffee. Lots of streamers tried embracing subtle horniness, where they'd dress kinda hot and then never mention it ever. Maybe their viewers also enjoyed having that same plausible deniability, or maybe it just lured them in and they stuck around for other reasons like the streamer being genuinely funny. That was fine, but some honesty from her was fresh and exciting. He noticed a growing bulge in his pants and stuffed a few tissues down there.
"Oooh! Finally! Some fights! Die, slimes!"
She leaned in closer to the camera during combat; it wasn't the kind of intense action you would normally glue your eyes to the screen for, but she looked like she was enjoying herself.
"so you said you were a demon?"
"Blizzard Strike! Oh, yeah, see the horns? Being a demon is cool. You can do whatever you want and use magic! I'd show off but I'm a bit busy..."
It looked like she was really early on in the game, so the combat wasn't all that hard; she cleared out several screens worth of random encounters. He also noticed that while she leaned into the camera, he could see slightly further down her cleavage...
This girl's demon roleplaying was kind of fun. It was basically just wrestling kayfabe or the similar things a lot of big vtubers did, and everyone loved that. How deeply did she think this persona through? Maybe she was excited to tell him more.
"so what kind of games do you usually play?"
"RPGs! I love RPGs! I played Final Fantasy 2 when it first came out and fell in love! I do normal demon things all day but then I like to unwind with a good RPG! Even the really bad ones! Those are good too!"
He opened another tab and looked up when Final Fantasy 2 came out. 1988? If she was old enough to play it and enjoy it, she'd be in her forties or something. She was, at most, thirty. Then he remembered the demon persona. Probably a thousand years old or something. He closed it and went back to the stream.
"Why," she reminisced, "I was out and about in Los Angeles looking for something to do one night, and then I saw an NES in a store window, and then I thought, yeah, why not try one of these newfangled machines out, and so I shoplifted one and some games!"
He almost spat out his coffee when she admitted to shoplifting. Of course, she didn't really do that... hopefully.
"How about you? What kinds of games do you enjoy?"
There were a couple of answers he could have given, but he went with the least embarrassing one.
"i also think rpgs are great"
"Sweet! What's your favorite?"
"i don't think i have a favorite"
"Cmon, I don't believe you! And hey, if it's embarrassing... You can share it with me and then I'll delete your message so that nobody sees, mkay?"
He knew it was a bad idea, but...
"okay so my favorite rpg is this uhhh text based game..."
Wait, no... He didn't mean to type that...
"Uh-huh."
"you play as a level 40 human mage..."
He ignored the part of his brain which was telling him to turn back.
"Go on."
"and you have to make it to the end of this maze full of succubi..."
"Ah! Lovely."
"and the succubi try to have sex with you, and if they fuck you, they suck your levels, and more if you cum in them... and if they beat you they kidnap you forever... its a fun game lol even though its really short i played it a lot"
"Oh! Scandalous! I'm deleting those messages now... Hehe, thanks for the secret!"
He stared at the screen in shame. His messages vanished one at a time, until all evidence of his perversion was missing. He still felt dirty. What compelled him to admit that?
"You know, people don't have levels in real life... so I just, oh, did I tell you what kind of demon I was? I'm also a succubus! I keep it on the down low."
"ah sorry for saying all that to you i didn't mean to i wanted to keep it a secret"
"Oh don't worry! I just have that effect on people... they meet me and then before they know it they're telling me all their dirtiest secrets. Teehee!" She jiggled her boobs briefly as if they were the ultimate way to charm someone into giving up their secrets. The idea that they worked on him was extremely worrying.
"I do like a good porn RPG. There aren't many good ones but I like playing as a succubus. Now that's funny; I spend all day doing succubus things, and then to relax, I go home and play succubus video games. That's my day job! Why am I doing that again? Oh, but it's just so fun!"
