Greetings, readers. This is my first time sharing a story, and I appreciate you joining me on the ride. What follows is the tale of a powerful mutant human gifted (or perhaps cursed) with extraordinary abilities: immortality, telepathy, superhuman strength, intelligence, and stamina. He can shift his form at will--even split himself into perfect, sentient clones. And perhaps most intriguing of all, his evolution never stops. With time, experience, and desire, new abilities continue to awaken within him--unlocking powers he never imagined, and rewriting what it means to be human. His power is unmatched. But power, as you'll see, doesn't come without a price.

This story contains mature content--explicit language, erotic themes, and some darker moments.

Also, since the main character can shapeshift, they can identify as any gender they choose. I'll be using he/she/they pronouns throughout, based on how they present at the time.

So settle in--and join me as I share a few tales from their immortal life... stories of lust, danger, and the strange, sexy chaos that follows someone who can be anyone.

To understand who--or what--Vek is now, we have to go back. Long before the powers. Before the whispers. Before the immortality.

He was once just a regular human man.

Vek's True Form

Vek's original body was shaped by survival. Broad-shouldered and thickly muscled, he bore the rugged frame of an early man--honed not in a gym, but in the wild, unforgiving cradle of Earth's prehistoric forests. His skin was sun-worn and rough in places, scarred by hunts and close calls, the color of rich clay. His jaw was strong, square and slightly over-pronounced, framed by a thick black beard that grew wild when left alone.

His brow was heavy, casting deep shadows over sharp, intelligent eyes that gleamed with an unnatural clarity--too focused, too knowing for a man of his time. His nose was wide and slightly flattened from more than one break. His hair, thick and coarse, hung in shoulder-length waves, often tied back with bone or sinew.

There was nothing polished about him--no grace, no elegance--but his presence carried a kind of primal magnetism. He looked like he belonged to another world. And he did.

A world before civilization. Before shame.

Before fear of desire.

His earliest memory reaches back over 100,000 years, to the frozen, unforgiving lands that would one day be called Vancouver. He remembers the cold--the kind that bites down to the bone--and he remembers nearly dying in it. But what saved him wasn't luck. It was fire.

A meteor, massive and burning, crashed into the ice-blasted wilderness. Drawn to its heat, Vek dragged his broken body through the snow to find it. The impact crater glowed with otherworldly light, the air around it humming with energy. He collapsed beside it, wrapped in its warmth, and passed out.

By the time he woke, the meteor had dissolved into nothing--vanished like it had never existed.

But something had changed.

His wounds were gone. Scars, bruises, even broken skin--all healed. His thoughts felt sharper, faster, almost electric. And then the voices began. Soft at first. Whispered. But constant. He thought he was going mad, until he realized: he wasn't hearing spirits.

He was hearing thoughts.

They were the minds of his tribe--raw, unfiltered, unknowingly speaking to him through a connection he never asked for.

That meteor had done something to him. And it was only the beginning.

Forty years slipped by before Vek truly noticed something was wrong--or rather, something was different. While his peers aged into the creased, weathered faces of the elders he once looked up to, Vek hadn't changed at all. His skin stayed smooth, unlined. His muscles stayed firm. His energy never faded.

At first, he thought maybe he was imagining it. But when he read their thoughts--quiet musings, suspicious glances, fearful prayers--he understood. They noticed it too.

People began to murmur when he returned from hunts without a scratch, while others limped back bloodied and bruised. Some claimed he never helped at all, that he disappeared in the chaos, only to return when the work was done. But the truth was, Vek was the hunter. He studied animal patterns, learned how to set traps with eerie precision, how to lure prey straight into his path. He was faster, sharper, deadlier than any man in the tribe--and that made him dangerous.

The whispers turned darker.

Some said he was unnatural. A freak. A demon sent by the gods as punishment for some forgotten sin. Others feared he would turn on them--that his youth, his silence, his strength meant he was waiting for the right moment to slaughter them all.

Vek didn't know how to calm their fears. He didn't want to be feared. He just wanted to belong.

Several more years passed. One evening, under the flickering torchlight near the edge of the village, Vek crossed paths with Izna--a woman he had once loved, once touched, before everything changed.

She was striking, even by the raw standards of their time--tall and sinewy, with smooth, deep bronze skin and long black hair often braided tight against her scalp. Her eyes were sharp and dark, intelligent in a way that made men stumble over their words. She carried herself like a hunter: lean muscle beneath hide-wrapped limbs, with the graceful stride of someone who feared nothing. Her breasts were full, her hips wide, her posture proud--a body hardened by survival, but made for passion.

He remembered her beneath him in the dark, their bodies pressed together on a bed of hides and moss. The way she had gasped his name. The warmth of her skin. The taste of her sweat. It had been clumsy, desperate--human. And back then, so was he.

But now...

Now, with the fire of the meteor still pulsing in the back of his mind, everything was different. Sharper. Louder. He could hear the thoughts she didn't say. He could sense every subtle flicker in her body language--desire, doubt, the tug of old familiarity. It overwhelmed him.

She was still stunning--fierce and graceful, with eyes like fire caught in obsidian. And though they'd shared something once, long ago, he stood before her now like a stranger trapped in his own skin.

Lust burned through him, but it was tangled with something deeper. Not love. Not longing. A need to anchor himself--to remember what it felt like to be just a man.

To feel her again.

To be wanted not for what he was becoming, but for who he had once been.

And yet... he hesitated.

His mind--sharpened beyond what any man was meant to endure--betrayed him.

Instead of simply acting on instinct, Vek overanalyzed everything. Every word he might say. Every flicker of her gaze. Every possible outcome, real or imagined. He tried to charm her, to speak like a man with purpose--but each sentence collapsed under the weight of self-doubt amplified by his unnatural awareness.

He could hear thoughts not meant for him. He could stalk prey with surgical precision, predict danger before it appeared, read the hearts of his people like open wounds.

But he couldn't bring himself to reach for her.

His cock throbbed beneath his furs, thick with need, aching as it strained against him. But he stood still, paralyzed by the noise in his head--scenarios, outcomes, imagined rejections--each louder than the one before.

Izna smiled at him, gently, unknowingly.

And he could only stare back, silent.

Wanting.

Still, none of that stopped his cock from hardening, pressing tightly against his clothes as his mind raced with forbidden fantasies--imagining Izna's body beneath his hands, the way he could fuck her into delirium, every wicked possibility playing out behind his eyes.

By most standards, his cock wasn't huge--just three or four inches when fully erect--but that didn't make his growing arousal any less urgent. Embarrassed, he tried to force it down, shifting awkwardly to hide how vulnerable he felt.

He grunted and groaned under his breath, willing his hardness to fade, praying it would shrink back--until, suddenly, it did. The relief was brief and startling.

Not satisfied, he focused harder, trying to summon that feeling again, but this time, he pushed further--willing it to grow bigger.

His cock responded, swelling beyond what he'd ever known, stretching past seven inches. A rush of excitement shot through him, and he didn't stop there.

In his mind, he kept growing it--imagining it longer, thicker--until it stretched over a foot, heavy and aching with need.

Vek bit his lip, caught between awe and desperate hunger. The power to change wasn't just in his mind or body--it was in his desire.

Through patient trial and error, Vek honed his shapeshifting gift, learning to mold every inch of his body exactly as he pleased. He'd stand by the village's still lake, staring into the glassy surface as his reflection twisted and morphed before his eyes.

In one moment, he'd stretch tall and broad, his cock swelling to an enormous size that dwarfed any man in the tribe. His muscles rippled under smooth skin, every inch radiating power.

Then, with a fluid motion, his form would shrink and soften--his broad shoulders narrowing, his hips widening--until he became a small, delicate woman, her breasts full and heavy, her ass round and inviting, every curve perfectly sculpted.

The mirror of the lake captured it all, the transformations seamless and breathtaking. He was limited only by the wild reaches of his imagination.

He had come dangerously close to exile the day he revealed his shapeshifting powers. What he hadn't anticipated was the fear it would provoke--villagers shouting, throwing rocks, branding him a monster, a devil. Vek pleaded with them, trying to explain that he was neither of those things, but it was no use. They bound him, locking him away while the elders convened to decide his fate. In the end, the tribe voted to end his life by fire. He could hear the fear in his village's thoughts, their minds a chorus of suspicion and dread. They believed he was a demon, sent by the Gods as punishment. Some whispered that he would kill them all--it was only a matter of time--or steal their faces to seduce their spouses or use his powers to seize control of the tribe. Vek had no idea how to make them see the truth. He wasn't a demon or a monster. He was one of them. He longed to share his gifts and knowledge, but the truth was that he was more mentally advanced than anyone else. And that made him an outcast.

They brought him to the center of the field at dawn. The wood and dried grass had already been arranged--deliberate, ceremonial. He was forced to stand in the middle, the smell of smoke already in the air. Ropes stretched out from four directions, anchoring him in place like a creature to be sacrificed. His arms were bound tightly around his waist, a final gesture of control.

The village elder stood a few paces away, reciting the ritual with a hollow voice, as if Vek's death were nothing more than tradition. The words rose like smoke into the morning air, solemn and ancient. To the villagers, it was justice. To Vek, it was abandonment.

He wasn't being punished for a crime--he was being offered up. A scapegoat for their fear. A sacrifice to appease gods he no longer believed in.

Then the kindling was lit.

A torch was tossed at his feet, the dry grass catching quickly, flames licking upward with eager hunger. At first, he felt it--the sting of heat against his skin, sharp but strangely bearable. It wasn't burning him the way it should have. It was as if the fire hesitated, unsure how to claim him.

Vek took the chance. He focused, straining against the cords, imagining himself breaking free. And then--impossibly--another form stepped out from him, born of will and desperation. Another version of himself. It moved with purpose, immediately trying to undo the knots that held him.

The crowd gasped. For a moment, the ritual halted in breathless silence.

He had never done this before. Had never known he could. He reached inward, tried to summon more, but only the one stood beside him, as real and solid as the original.

Some villagers stood frozen, eyes wide in disbelief. Others turned and fled, convinced now more than ever that they had angered the Gods.

Vek remained in the fire, untouched, unburned--no longer a man to them, but something else entirely.

The clone had nearly freed him--just moments away from loosening the final knot--when the tribespeople surged forward. They tackled them both, pinning the clone down, retying Vek with brutal precision. Panic turned to anger.

"Let me speak!" he shouted, voice cracking with desperation. "I'm not a demon! I'm not a devil--just let me explain!"

They didn't listen. They never did.

He clenched his fists, straining against the ropes, summoning every ounce of strength he had left. Then--suddenly--the tension gave way. The ropes snapped with a sharp crack, frayed ends curling as they fell uselessly to his sides.

He didn't waste a second. His eyes locked on the clone still struggling under the weight of the villagers. Vek focused, reaching inward, willing the second self to return. The clone stilled, and then--like dust caught in a sudden wind--dissolved into a stream of shimmering energy, drawn back to him. The ropes that had bound it dropped to the earth like empty skin.

Something shifted inside him.

He had always been able to hear their thoughts--faint, unguarded impressions of fear and suspicion. But now, for the first time, he wondered... could he speak back?

He closed his eyes, steadying his breath. He reached out--not with his voice, but with his mind--and focused. Focused on being heard.

At first, he only managed to reach a handful of minds--gentle nudges, calming thoughts--but it was enough to slow the chaos. One by one, more minds opened to him, until the entire village was connected, their thoughts laid bare and trembling like candle flames in the wind.

Through that shared current, he showed them what they hadn't seen. The meteor--the blinding fire that had struck the earth--and the moment he realized it had changed him. Not cursed him. Not damned him, gifted him. The abilities had always been there, buried deep, just waiting to awaken.

Some minds accepted this truth quickly; grateful he wasn't the monster they feared. Others needed more. But fear was giving way to curiosity, and in some, reverence was taking hold.

A few dropped to their knees, whispering prayers and calling him divine.

"Don't," Vek said, voice low, steady. "I'm not a god. I'm not above you. I'm still one of you. Always have been."

That was enough for most.

Then came the questions--rapid, relentless. How old was he? Where did his powers come from? Could he age? Could he die?

"I'm almost sixty," he said, watching their jaws drop. "Guess I just wear it well."

He walked to the watering hole, crouched down, and stared into his reflection. Slowly, he let his form shift--his face weathered with age, then softened, then changed completely. His features melted and reformed like clay in an unseen sculptor's hands.

They dared him to shift to others from the village. He did--flawlessly. Elders. Friends. Lovers. He matched their voices, even their subtle ticks and gestures. Thanks to his telepathy, he could pluck thoughts, memories, and insecurities straight from their minds and make them his own, like a second skin.

It was freaky. It was terrifying. It was fucking incredible.

And somehow, no one flinched. They could feel it in their bones--Vek wasn't a threat.

Then someone brought up the clone.

"Oh, shit," he muttered. He'd almost forgotten.

He centered himself, thinking back to the moment of the fire--fear, pain, the primal urge to survive. In seconds, another him stepped out of thin air, just as solid and aware as the original.

The crowd gasped again.

And then Vek made a mistake.

He looked at his clone. And without thinking, maybe to prove a point, perhaps to indulge some old itch, the clone shifted into Izna. She'd once been his, years ago, before everything changed. Now she belonged to another man. It didn't matter.

The clone leaned in and kissed her--slow, deep, and undeniably real.

The village went silent.

Gasps. Stares. A few muttered curses.

And then it hit them.

If Vek could become anyone, he could do anything. He could fuck their wives. Seduce their husbands. Slip into beds in the dead of night and vanish without a trace. The fragile trust he'd worked so hard to build shattered under the weight of a single kiss.

He felt it instantly--the burning heat of shame crawling beneath his skin, the sharp sting of regret slicing through his chest. He hadn't meant to start shit. Not like this.

But now, there was no turning back.

His mind raced. Was this power a blessing--or a curse? Every stolen moment, every secret touch, twisted the fragile bonds of the village tighter around his throat. He was their outcast, their miracle, their monster.

Vek knew he had a choice to make.

Keep hiding in the shadows, the whispered fears growing louder, or embrace the chaos, wield his gifts without restraint--and burn down the world that rejected him.

The night was thick around him, the village quiet but restless. And somewhere deep inside, a fire sparked--hungry, fierce, and unstoppable.

Vek's sharp mind raced as the village slept around him, but his heart beat with a new, reckless determination. If they wanted to see him as a monster, a demon, a weapon--then he would give them what they craved.

He would be their pleasure, their secret sin, the forbidden touch they dared not speak aloud.

Tapping into the swirling storm of thoughts in their heads, Vek sifted through desires, fantasies, and hidden kinks--secrets locked behind guarded minds. A craving for dominance here, a desperate need to be worshipped there. The shy ones who longed to be taken, the bold who wanted to take control.

He learned what made them tremble, what set their blood on fire--and he tailored himself to each craving like a master craftsman. With a flicker of his shapeshifting power, he slipped into forms they could never resist.

A rough hunter with calloused hands and fierce eyes for the women who ached for him. A soft-spoken healer with gentle touch for those who needed comfort and tenderness. A lover who could mimic voices and mannerisms so perfectly no one could tell the difference.

He became everything they desired--willing, eager, impossible to forget.

And when he touched them, whispered their names, explored their bodies with skill born of endless curiosity, it wasn't just lust. It was power. It was control. It was freedom.

For the first time since the meteor's fire gifted him his cursed abilities, Vek wasn't hiding. He was owning every part of himself--and using it to shatter the chains of fear that bound them all.

The night air hung thick with desire as Vek's thoughts danced around Izna and her soon-to-be husband, Gark. Towering and broad-shouldered, Gark had the presence of a born protector--his frame powerful and imposing, built from years of hunts, battles, and survival. His skin bore the sun's kiss and the marks of a warrior's life: old scars, tribal ink, and a strength that moved with deliberate ease. He was taller than Vek, stronger by all appearances, the kind of man others instinctively respected--or feared. Vek had watched them from the shadows, sensing their passion and the unspoken tension between them. Now, he was ready to step forward--not just as the outcast or the monster, but as the man who could unlock their deepest, most forbidden cravings.

He found Izna first, slipping silently into her thoughts like a warm breeze, tracing the memories of his touch, the way her body had ached for him long before. She shivered, caught off guard by the familiar heat pooling low in her belly.
