Thanks for reading, and enjoy!
A shot cracked past Kari’s head, missing her cheek by inches. She ducked back into the abandoned market, taking cover behind a fruit stand as further rounds whizzed by. A part of her knew she should be worried; knew she was too far from her team to hope for rescue. And yet, she couldn’t bring herself to care. Instead, her attention was focused on her headset, and the gaping disbelief she could sense on the other end.
“No way.” Sean’s voice was barely above a whisper. “You mean it’s official? You’re actually on the team?”
Before Kari could answer, a flashbang erupted at her feet. As her world went white, she heard another burst of gunfire, followed by the squishy punch of a lethal shot. She was dead.
Not that it really mattered. After all, this was just a warm-up game, something to keep her occupied while she waited for Sean to hop on Discord. Now that he was here, and now that she’d delivered the big news, she didn’t really care about the Strikeforce match on her screen; all she cared about was spinning in her chair and letting out the excited squeal she’d been holding in all night.
“Congrats, Kari!” Sean exclaimed. “That’s amazing! And about damn time too.”
“I still can’t believe it’s real.” Kari grinned. “I keep checking my email to make sure I didn’t, like, hallucinate it or something.” But sure enough, upon yet another glance at her phone, the message was still there: an invitation to Team Salt, the new e-sports organization that everyone was talking about. Despite having yet to play in a single tournament, the team was already securing contracts with high-level pros, setting off waves of shock and excitement across the entire community. Rumor had it that a reclusive billionaire was funding the operation, with the hope of creating the ultimate Strikeforce squad—no matter the cost. The talk had gotten so wild, so unreal, that Kari had initially written it off as empty hype. But now, with a contract in her inbox and a fat signing bonus in her bank, she had to admit: the hype was real. Very real indeed.
Sean laughed. “I knew you’d get in. Never doubted for a second.”
Kari let out an exaggerated groan. “You coulda told me that. I was sweating like a pig the whole interview. They didn’t even tell me about your recommendation till like, the very end.” She paused. “Thanks for that, by the way.”
“Hey, it was no big deal. The second Jas0nX tapped me for recc’s, I knew I had to throw your name in. Especially with how the other teams have been treating you. All those bullshit streaming-only contracts and back-up rosters—you deserve a real shot at this.”
“And you’re the reason I’m gonna get it. So I owe you one. Don’t let me forget. I mean it.”
“If you wanna pay me back, just promise that you’ll still make time to duo-queue once in a while. No matter how rich and famous you get.”
Kari grinned. “Of course. And if I don’t, you have my permission to show up and slap some sense into me.”
Sean chuckled. “As if that’d help. Once you’ve set your mind to something, I know it’s almost impossible to change it.”
Kari shielded her eyes as she stepped from the car, the searing California sun burning across her skin. She’d barely gotten any sleep the previous night, her thoughts trapped in an endless cycle of excitement and worry. By the time she’d finally managed to doze off, her phone had started buzzing moments later, announcing that her car to the Team Salt Pre-Season Bootcamp was here. Apparently, they’d taken the liberty of arranging a ride for her. Kari wanted to be flattered, but the sight of the sleek, black car outside her apartment just twisted her gut even further. If Team Salt was willing to sink this much money into her, just what were they expecting in return?
Then again, Kari thought, extracting her suitcase from the backseat and watching the car pull away, maybe this is all just normal for them. The tall sandstone wall before her seemed to confirm this notion, as did the caws of seagulls and the crash of waves beckoning from the other side. Had Team Salt actually rented a beach house for their boot camp? To what end? They were gonna spend most of their time practicing indoors anyway—was a coastal view really just an afterthought to these people?
Kari hesitated before the security gate, fidgeting with the zipper of her hoodie before buzzing the intercom. For the millionth time, she wondered if she’d chosen the right outfit. She wanted to make a good first impression, but striking the right balance was like trying to walk a tightrope blindfolded. Too casual, and the rest of the team might assume she wasn’t serious enough. Too dressy and, well…Kari was intimately familiar with the sort of assumptions that tended to conjure. Strikeforce was a male-dominated game, after all, and, despite their claims to stoic nerves and strategic thinking, many men still struggled with basic professional courtesy when it came to their female counterparts. For bustier players like Kari, all it took was one loose blouse button or a low-cut shirt for her to be marked as an attention-seeking slut, as if being the obsession of hostile, horny nerds was something anyone would actually want.
So today, she’d decided to play it safe and straightforward. Her gamer hoodie and dark jeans didn’t exactly hide her figure, but they were as modest as she could get without looking like a lumpy mass of sweaters. And though she’d applied a little makeup to cover for lack of sleep, her short dark hair and plain silver studs would leave no doubt that she’d come to game and nothing else.
After a short pause, the security gate slid open. And Kari realized she’d underestimated her employers.
Team Salt hadn’t rented a beach house—they’d rented a beach palace.
The lone gamer gawked as she stepped inside the walls, following a bleached cobblestone path through a garden of flowering cacti. Ahead lay a compound of steel and glass, with several boxy buildings linked together like some kind of giant puzzle, the sharpness of its corners tempered by accents of warm wood and rock. As she approached the centermost structure, Kari could see straight through the massive windows to the other side, where a beach of pure white sand sparkled in the sunlight.
It was breathtaking. For a moment, Kari felt as though she’d left everything familiar behind, and had entered a strange, surreal dream. Then she heard a door open with a loud click, and nearly jumped out of her skin.
“Whoa,” came a surprised male voice. “Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.”
“Oh, uh, no. It’s okay.” Kari winced, trying to hide her embarrassment as she faced her mystery greeter. What she saw only deepened her disorientation.
The man standing in the main doorway was completely off-type for an e-sports staffer. At a glance, Kari guessed his age was anywhere from mid-40’s to early 50’s. His short, sandy hair was laced with silver, and subtle wrinkles crept under his trimmed beard and glasses. His attire lacked the usual faux-athletic touches of the e-sports crowd, his pressed slacks and knit sweater screaming “preppy professor” more than “competitive gamer.” For a terrifying moment, Kari wondered if she’d arrived at the wrong address.
“You must be Kari, right?” The man extended his hand. “Or ‘RoseNade44,’ I suppose.”
“Kari is fine.” She shook his hand, feeling reassured but no less confused. “And…I’m sorry, you are?”
“Michael Leurre. But from here on out, feel free to just call me ‘Coach.’” Kari must’ve made a face, because he laughed and gestured to his clothes. “I know. Don’t really look the part, do I? Hopefully you won’t judge this book too hard by its cover.”
“Of course not,” Kari replied, forcing a smile. “I’ve just never seen you around the scene before. Have you been working in the Tier-2 Circuit or…?”
“Not exactly.” He rubbed his jaw, seeming slightly abashed. “To tell you the truth, my past work has been in clinical trials and research, mostly in the psychiatric field. I’ve dabbled in life-coaching, but this will be my first time on an e-sports team. Though I guess that’s something we have in common, right?” He winked.
“Uh, yeah.” Kari hesitated. “If you don’t mind me asking, what, uh, made you want to—”
“Join Team Salt?” Leurre swung open the door. “I’ve always had an interest in the psychological aspects of team bonding and self-improvement. And, if I’m being perfectly honest, our employer made an offer too good to refuse.”
“Ah.” Kari nodded, following him into the main building, her footsteps and suitcase wheels clicking on the polished tile floor.
“It wasn’t just the money though,” her coach clarified. “I’m not sure how much you’ve heard, but the team founder has some rather…unique ideas regarding this organization. For him, Team Salt isn’t just an e-sports group, but a testbed for some of his theories regarding how to acquire, train, and maintain talent. Or so he tells me.” Leurre’s laugh bounded between the white walls. “It also possible that he’s bored and just wants a new toy to play with. You know how the rich are.”
“Mm,” Kari hummed noncommittally. Her excitement was rapidly dimming, allowing shadows of doubt to creep in. Had she actually made a mistake? Had the promise of success baited her into becoming a billionaire’s guinea pig?
“Don’t worry,” Leurre chuckled, as though reading her thoughts. “I intend to take this very seriously. My approach will be based not just in the science of the sport, but in that of the human psyche as well. To that end,” he pushed open a heavy black door, “I’ve developed a…somewhat unique training regimen, one that I hope will lead you to become your best self. All that I ask in return is that you keep an open mind. At least for a little while.”
Kari stepped past him and into what seemed to be their practice space. A long, curved desk wrapped around the edges of the room, with glowing game stations set at regular intervals. Unlike the rest of the compound, there were no windows or décor, save for patches of soundproofing scattered across the walls.
“Now then,” Leurre strode over to the centermost game station and pulled out a chair. “If you please.”
“Huh?” Kari’s eyes flitted to her suitcase, then back to the chair. “Y’mean…right now?”
He gave her an ironic smirk. “Did you have other plans?”
“Well, no…but I mean, shouldn’t we wait for the rest of the team?”
He frowned. “Sadly, many of them have outstanding contracts with other teams, which has turned into a bit of a mess, legally speaking. The lawyers tell me we should have it all sorted soon, but until then,” he swiveled the chair to face her, “I think it’s best you and I get started. Especially since the two of us are the team rookies, so to speak.”
Kari supposed she couldn’t argue with that. Still, there was something about the situation that bugged her. As she slid into the chair and adjusted her mouse and headset, she had the distinct impression that her coach was looming over her, his tall, slim frame lingering in the corner of her vision. When she finally looked back and met his eyes, the glint in their depths didn’t seem wholly innocent. Kari hoped she was imagining it.
“Wonderful.” Leurre smiled. “Now, let’s proceed,” he gestured towards the screen.
Kari returned her attention to her monitor. And squinted.
“I assume you’re familiar with aim trainer programs?” her coach asked.
“I…guess?” But this was unlike any aim trainer she’d ever seen. In lieu of the usual targets and guns, her crosshair was comprised of an endlessly spinning spiral of color, her surroundings filled with similar twirling, dazzling pinwheels.
“This is a new breed of aim-trainer,” Leurre continued. “A little pet project of mine, actually. It works by not only training your muscle memory, but your subconscious habits as well.”
“Subconscious?” Kari repeated. She’d been trying to determine the pattern in the shifting hues, but there didn’t appear to be one. And yet her crosshair and the targets always seemed to subtly clash, their rotations pulling her eyes in opposing directions.
“You see,” Leurre explained, “while your body learns through repeatedly hitting the targets, the visuals will help you focus entirely on the game, allowing you to enter a non-thinking flow-state, where intuition and instinct can be redirected and reaffirmed.”
Kari broke her gaze from the screen long enough to cast a skeptical glance.
Her coach laughed. “Consider it a fun experiment. This is the perfect time to throw things at the wall and see what sticks. Now.” He clapped the back of her chair. “That’s my cue to head to the observation deck.”
Kari’s brow furrowed. “You’re leaving?”
“Oh,” he paused in the doorway. “I would stay, but I assume having a strange man hovering over you would be…distracting, to say the least. Don’t worry, I’ll still be monitoring your progress remotely. Good luck!”
With that, the self-declared ‘strange man’ closed the door, leaving Kari alone in a circle of humming machines and monitors.
She sighed, trying not to let her spirits sag. So her coach was a little weird and his methods a bit eccentric—at least he was clearly invested in his work. Plus, he’d probably tone the crazy down once the realities of professional Strikeforce sunk in. Until then, she would try to give him the benefit of the doubt, even if she couldn’t parse how such a dizzying, distracting aim trainer was supposed to help her focus.
“Alright, Kari.” Leurre’s voice suddenly flooded her headset. “Am I coming through clearly? Good. Let’s see what you can do. Why don’t you try shooting a few targets for me?”
Kari did as she was instructed, and found it more difficult than expected. Not only did the crosshair and target keep twirling and flashing, but their clashing colors went absolutely ballistic when she lined them up. Shooting a target caused the hues to harmonize for a moment, only to burst with the most abrasive “hit confirmed” sound she’d ever heard. For the goals that required multiple hits, the effect was a chaotic mess of light, color, and noise.
“This is…a lot to take in,” Kari complained, blinking against the strain of her flashing monitor.
“That’s because you’re trying too hard,” her coach’s patient baritone rumbled. “Remember, we’re not training your intellect, but your instinct. Relax. Let your focus go where it wants to. And keep taking nice, deep breaths.”
Kari’s chest rose and fell in a long, deep sigh. It felt a little stupid, but she tried to do as Leurre suggested, defocusing her gaze to temporarily reset it. When she did, her attention was immediately drawn to the center of her crosshair, where all the swirling colors seemed to be flowing, one rainbow ripple at a time.
“That’s it,” her coach murmured. “Relax. Let the program guide you. And remember to breathe.”
Breathe. Kari’s shoulders drooped. Even with the spinning crosshair holding her gaze, the rainbow pinwheels of the surrounding targets tugged at the edges of her vision. Following her coach’s suggestion, she allowed that subtle influence to guide her, and found her aim naturally drifting to align the two spirals. The clashing colors were still unpleasant, but there was something…captivating about them, a gravity to their rotations that felt like it was pulling on her attention deeper and deeper.
Then she clicked the target. And the chaos suddenly transformed into blinding harmony. Her eyelashes fluttered, stars glittering in her vision as the “hit confirmed” sound reverberated into her ears. But this time, it didn’t sound discordant. It sounded…encouraging.
“Huh…” Kari breathed.
“Keep going,” Leure pressed. “You’re doing great.”
Something…wasn’t right. But by the time Kari managed to form that thought, her attention had already been sucked into another target. Automatically, she clicked. And the spiraling chorus spun her dubious feelings away.
Next target. Aim. Click.
Next target. Aim. Click.
“Relax. Focus on the spiral.” Leurre sounded so distant, and yet Kari found herself hanging on every syllable. “You’re doing so well. Nice, deep breaths now.”
Kari’s chin slipped into a half-nod.
Deep breaths. Aim. Click.
“Keep going.”
Keep going. Aim Click.
“Relax.”
Relax…aim…click…
“Let yourself go.”
Let…go…aim….click.
“Go deeper. And deeper.”
Deeper…deeper…aim…
Deeper…aim…aim…
Deep…
Kari sat hunched forward in her seat, the monitor mere inches from her nose. Her expression was distant, yet focused, her-half lidded eyes unblinking, the screen’s reflected colors spinning beneath her heavy lashes. It was as though following them was the most important thing to her; more important than realizing the trainer had begun playing itself almost twenty minutes ago; more important than noticing that both her arms had slid to her sides; more important than closing her mouth; more important than wiping the tiny streak of drool from her chin. None of that seemed to matter to the busty girl gaping at her screen. But to the man watching her, it all mattered very much.
Doctor Leurre smiled, crossing his legs beneath his rosewood desk. On his computer monitor played the results of his labors, a live feed of several hidden cameras positioned around his newest test subject. Some were taking important observational data. Others were for more…aesthetic purposes. Such as capturing the moment the spark in Kari’s eyes dimmed to a soft, docile glow.
Apparently, she was more suggestible than Leurre had anticipated. Within less than an hour, his program had completely entranced her. Now, it was subliminally retraining her brain, rerouting her neural pathways without causing a twitch of awareness or alarm. If his calculations were correct, she would wake up from this experience with no memory of it transpiring, even as the program’s messages and associations began to sculpt her subconscious.
Previous trials had shown this technology as reliably capable of causing slight changes in behavior overnight. But for the scale of cognitive transformation his employer demanded, Leurre couldn’t rely on the machine alone. The process would require his personal touch, as well as a great degree of patience and precision. It was a challenge he relished the thought of completing.
One step at a time, he reminded himself as he double-checked his data. This was the most delicate part of the operation—too heavy a hand, and it could all fall apart in an instant. He couldn’t afford to rush. No matter how tempting.
Leurre cleared his throat, his voice low and level as he spoke into his desk mic. “Kari, can you hear me?”
Kari’s glazed expression didn’t so much as twitch. For a moment Leurre worried she was too deep to register the question. But then her lips moved, a breathy “yes” floating between them.
Leurre suppressed a sigh of relief. “Are you still focused on the program?”
“Yes.” Her voice was monotone, barely above a whisper.
“Just like I told you?”
“Yes.”
“How do you feel?”
She paused. The slightest hint of a crease shaded her forehead. “S-strange…”
The doctor steepled his fingers. “It feels good doesn’t it?”
“Good?”
“Yes. You feel good.”
Kari’s expression relaxed, a lazy grin spreading as Leurre’s suggestion pressed into place. “I feel good…”
“That’s right. The program makes you feel good, doesn’t it?”
“Yes…”
“Excellent Kari, you’re doing wonderfully.” Leurre paused. “Training feels good, doesn’t it?”
“Yes…”
“You like to feel good, don’t you?”
“Yes…”
“So if training feels good, and you like to feel good, than you must like to train, right?”
The question appeared to take a moment to sink in. But when it did, it pushed another breathy “yes” from Kari’s open mouth.
“When training, it’s important to follow your coach’s instructions.”
The slight curve of a frown. “Important...?”
“When training,” Leurre repeated, “it’s important to follow your coach’s instructions.”
The colors spiraled in Kari’s eyes. Her lips parted. “Important…”
“When training, it’s important to follow your coach’s instructions.” Leurre paused. “Isn’t it?”
“…Yes,” the pliable girl answered.
“When training, it’s important to follow your coach’s instructions. You like to train. Therefore, you also like to follow your coach’s instructions. Isn’t that right?”
Kari didn’t answer. She simply gaped, swaying slightly as the silence stretched on.
Leurre tensed. “You like to follow your coach’s instructions. This is true, is it not?”
At first nothing. Then Kari’s chin dipped slightly as she sighed. “Yes…”
Leurre exhaled, relieved. “You like to follow your coach’s instructions.”
“Yes.”
“Say it.”
“I like…to follow my coach’s instructions.”
“It feels good to follow your coach’s instructions. Say it.”
His subject’s dazed smiled returned, as though satisfied that a puzzle had been solved. “It feels good to follow my coach’s instructions.”
Now it was Leurre’s turn to grin. Whatever could be said about her attitude, Kari truly was an excellent student. After a few more repetitions to make sure her new outlook was secure, it was time to move onto the next phase.
The doctor drummed his fingers on his desk, trying to contain his excitement. “Now, Kari, you know it’s important to follow your coach’s instructions, correct?”
No hesitation this time. “Yes.”
“It’s important to follow your coach’s instructions. You like following your coach’s instructions. You trust your coach’s instructions. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes…”
“You trust your coach’s instructions. Say it.”
“I trust my coach’s instructions.”
“You trust your coach’s instructions.”
“I trust my coach’s instructions.”
“You trust your coach.”
“I trust my coach.”
Leurre couldn’t resist a chuckle. “Good. That’s very good, Kari. You’re good at following instructions.”
The entranced girl shifted ever so slightly, letting out a satisfied sigh. The program continued to flash before her eyes, reinforcing the link between obedience and pleasure.
Leurre continued: “It makes your coach happy when you follow his instructions. You like to follow your coach’s instructions. Therefore, you like to make your coach happy. Say it.”
“I like to make my coach happy.”
“It feels good to make your coach happy.”
“It…feels good to make my coach…happy.”
“It feels good to make your coach happy.”
“It feels good to make my coach happy.”
A few more repetitions, and the poor girl was drooling again, her expression vacant and completely helpless. That didn’t mean Leurre could go full throttle yet—her new beliefs were fragile, and too much cognitive conflict could shatter them before they had time to solidify. Still, even if the doctor couldn’t push her all the way, that didn’t mean he couldn’t have some fun. Testing boundaries lead to useful data, after all.
“Good girl,” Leurre nodded. “You’re making your coach very happy.”
Kari giggled, her head lolling to the side. “Thank you, coach.”
“We’re going to move on with your training now. I think you’ll like it. You like to be trained, don’t you?”
“Yes…”
“That’s right. Now, stand up for me, won’t you?”
Kari blinked. The direction had probably thrown her off rhythm, given how long she’d spent in a state of total passivity. But even as her mind lagged behind, her body was already responding. The movement started in her hips, a gentle wriggle that worked its way up, as if she needed to build momentum. Eventually, her hands fond purchase on her armrests, enabling her to gradually pushed herself from the chair. She stood, arms once again hanging limp at her sides, her body hunched ever so slightly as her eyes remained locked on the screen below.
It took every ounce of restraint Leurre had to keep his voice level. “Good, Kari, very good. You’re doing so well. Just relax.”
“Relax…” she repeated as her dark lashes fluttered. Leurre wasn’t sure why she’d echoed the command—perhaps she was so enthralled, the pattern of their earlier patter had become an automatic response. Or maybe her dazzled mind needed to repeat his instructions to process them. Regardless, the doctor wasn’t about to complain.
“Wonderful,” he continued. “Now: take off your sweater for me.”
It took a couple tries for Kari’s fingers to find the hoodie’s zipper. But when they did, she pulled it down without complaint, sliding the garment free from her bare shoulders and revealing a black, athletic tank-top that hugged the contours of her heavy chest.
If possible, Leurre’s heart beat even faster. “Very good. Remove your top as well.”
Kari’s hands moved to obey, then hesitated as they grasped the hem. She shifted her weight to one foot, then the other, her lips pouting in adorable confusion.
The doctor had anticipated this. As malleable as Kari was right now, there were still deeply ingrained social, cultural, and personal roadblocks in her psyche, which would take time to remove. That was why he had to push her now, to compromise her trust in her own instincts, and break ground for her reprogramming to take root.
“Kari,” Leurre applied a sterner tone. “We’re training right now, aren’t we?”
“Y-yes,” she conceded.
“And when you’re training, it’s important to follow your coach’s instructions, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Important to follow…instructions.”
“You trust your coach.”
“I…trust my coach.”
“You trust your coach’s instructions.”
“I trust my coach’s instructions.”
“You like following your coach’s instructions.”
The hint of a shy smile. A touch of color blossomed in her cheeks. “I like following my coach’s instructions.”
“Very good. Now: your coach has instructed you to remove your top.”
At last, Kari’s hands began lifting the hem of her tank-top, shimmying it up her torso and then pulling it over her packed sports bra. Her chest bounced as she cast the top aside, a sight so enticing it nearly stopped the doctor from noticing that she was now scanning her surroundings, a disoriented grimace on her face.
“Look back at your screen,” he quickly blurted, cursing himself for not realizing her sightline had been broken.
Fortunately, it seemed she was still in a state of suggestibility. Her eyes obeyed his command without hesitation, and her expression softened as the program absorbed her gaze once again. At last, when her lashes had nearly closed and her lips had drifted open, Leurre continued the session.
“That’s right, Kari, just relax and listen,” the doctor cooed. “Now, take off your bra as well.”
This time, the subdued girl stripped without delay, her breasts bouncing into view as she removed their harness and dropped it to the ground. The doctor wasn’t sure what shocked him more: that such massive softness had been so thoroughly contained, or that she’d exposed them so promptly.
Feeling encouraged, Leurre decided to push even further.
“Your pants and panties as too, Kari,” he commanded. “Let me see all of you.”
The doctor watched with triumph as his latest plaything obeyed, her tits swaying as she bent over and gave the rear cameras ample view of her ass and thighs. She really was a perfect subject. Her naked skin was smooth and supple, with generous curves that rippled invitingly with every step and shift. Her expression was drowsy and distant, and yet her face was as flushed as her tiny pink nipples, which stood rigid at attention, as if awaiting appraisal.
“Very good, Kari.” The doctor paused. “You’ve made your coach very happy.”
Kari bit her lip, arms crossing and squeezing her chest together as pleasure wriggled through her.
“You like to make your coach happy,” he chuckled.
“I like to make my coach happy,” she agreed.
“Now take a seat in your chair for me.”
His subject obeyed, her back perfectly straight as she rested her hands on her thighs and awaited further direction.
Leurre pressed a few keys on his keyboard, remotely accessing her chair’s controls. “And…relax…” he instructed.
Kari’s eyelids fluttered, and she let out a deep sigh as her body sank deep into the chair. In response, its hidden mechanisms clicked and clacked, the mesh surface becoming pliable and warping under her weight. It subtly positioned her, reclining her back and spreading her legs wide. A few more adjustments, and a soft bulge rose up between her thick, pillowy thighs, pressing against her pussy with buzzing, exciting stimulation. A soft moan escaped her lips, her hips already grinding as she rode the sensation, allowing it to take her deeper into mind-melting oblivion.
“That’s right. Good girl.” Leurre grinned. “Now keep watching the screen. Our fun is only beginning.”
This is great, as your work always is! I’m so excited that you’re posting again!
