The world's most immersive VR MMORPG gets a new live patch, but it's not what any of its thousands of players were expecting! :o

Live Patching

'Please stand by. Live patching in progress.'

The same words echoed in tens of thousands of minds across the server as monsters froze and weapon tech ceased to operate, 'Peacetime' mode activating as always tended to happen when a live patch rollout was happening. It used to be the case that when the game was patched the servers would go down and the players would be returned to the game lobby, but over the last year or so the game's designers had been working on live patching so that people could continue to enjoy the benefits of the game world, and just take a little time to relax and unwind from quests and contests. Of course, certain features were de-activated during these live patches to minimise the already substantial data load required to keep everyone connected and fully interfaced while changes were made to the framework of the world. Enemy sprites were locked in place, to be re-activated by an attack levied against them by a player once the patch time ended. Similarly weapons, magic and other potentially destructive characters accessories were de-activated, not vanishing but unable to deal any damage or have any effect on the world. A few occasional glitches aside in areas being directly altered while being interacted with aside though, the rest of the world continued to run without a hitch.

At least, that was normally the case, but today was already somewhat abnormal in that there hadn't been a patch scheduled. It was peak play time, Saturday afternoon on the Western hemisphere servers. Normally patches were applied mid-week in the early hours of the morning, so that even with the live patching active a minimum of people's game experience was in any way altered. Today though, those players who remained online rather than immediately logging off in frustration and instead guiding their VR rigs to take them to Orion Interactive's virtual complaints office were left looking around at one another or a battlefield of frozen monsters and wondering what kind of tech emergency had required such an immediate patching that they couldn't have even given the tiniest little warning.

And of course, just a few minutes after the patching started as players began to wander around and chat to one another out in the various region's of the game's open world, and in the hub cities people crafted banquets and purchased some in game alcohol to help pass the time amidst mini-games and conversations, they received an answer to that question. There was a very simple, very obvious reason why the game's developers hadn't given them any warning about the patching taking place.

Because they didn't have anything to do with the patch, and were powerless to stop it as the changes to the very fundamental structure of their game's coding were applied, and immediately rolled out to every zone and every player within them.

Having stopped in the middle of her first ever Epic tier run of the Battle of Lysis IV scenario, Cassie and her group were sitting around a buff beacon, re-energising their volt packs and chatting about what movies they'd seen lately, when all of a sudden their ranged DPS' armour vanished. Except, it wasn't just his armour. The basic underclothes all characters were bound to wear within the game vanished too, and Cassie squealed in shock, though not necessarily with any degree of upset or anger, as she saw the lithe otter's cock starting to harden. A cock that shouldn't have existed at all, a cock which shouldn't have been programmed into the game at all, never mind with such realism or the ability to react as cocks could. But still, one which couldn't be denied as a dazed, overwhelmed look swept across the otter's surprised face just before he reached down, grabbed at his stiffening erection, and began to stumble towards his nearest teammate with a longing moan just as the clydesdale stallion's own armour disappeared, and he too began to moan at the sudden sight of his own rapidly stiffening, much larger, thicker cock.

On a quiet corner of the Caravellia plains, before the motionless and slathering jaws of the Venoraptor alpha which had been about to ambush her as she gathered reagents, Sandrine grunted as she buried the hilt of her vibro-axe deep within her pussy and began to masturbate. The lioness had always joked with her friends that Orion should market sex toys based on their vibro-weapons, devices so powerful in the fiction of the game that those who wielded them required special gauntlets to be able to successfully use the weapon despite its constant, intense vibration within their grip. Now though, she was living it. On all fours, hands between her legs and driving the smooth, slightly curved shaft of the weapon into herself, she screamed as its intense vibrations struck at her now gauntletless flesh. Her plump ass jiggled violently with the force of the vibrations crashing through her, and as in the distance she heard another player cry out in what sounded like pleasure even more intense than her own, she could only shriek giddily back, and pray that whatever the hell had happened to the game... they didn't fix it before she was able to cum.

*********

In the hub city of Pharrix, the streets were one vast orgy as again and again the game's reality shifted as yet more changes were made beyond those to the clothing and the unstoppable, unquenchable physical arousal of the players themselves. Fountains began to spray thick, creamy cum instead of water. Statues of past heroes and famous NPCs of the game's lore were twisted into cavorting idols in the most obscene poses. City guards and other extant NPCs shed their own clothes, and eagerly waded into the orgy themselves. Three brand new players surrounded the high tier individual who had taken the time out of her own gameplay to power-level them a little, the skunk gurgling in delight as one of them fucked her ass, another ate her pussy and a third fucked her face with his steely hard, desperately eager erection. To their left a snow leopard shrieked and soaked the ground between her trembling legs with sprays of orgasmic ejaculate as her reptilian in-game mount buried its tongue deep in her ass while she clung to the wall of the nearest building, and within that building the NPC forgemaster and his apprentice embraced another player between them, the male tiger roaring in amazement as he felt a cock pressing into his ass, a pussy wrapping around his own erection, and for the first time in his life felt the sensations of sex from a male perspective despite the fact that the player behind the avatar was a woman.

"We have to stop it! Pull the plug. Throw water over the circuit breakers. Something. Anything! Do you have any idea how sued we're going to be??!"

Within Orion Interactive's headquarters, the game's lead developer screamed at his employers as he darted between various pods in which moderators and beta testers were currently logged in. He watched his head quality assessment analyst shaking and writhing within her harness, her toes curling, her muzzle open and the crotch of her dark slacks growing damp and glistening as she came violently. A moment later he moved on to one of the other pods, and saw the head shift administrator for their most populated server unmistakably humping the air, hips bucking within the confines of the VR pod's restraints as within his own trousers the outline of his erect cock was plainly visible while his body and the tech currently augmenting him allowed him to feel every drop of the pleasure he was so obviously experiencing wherever he was and whoever he was with inside the simulation.

"Oh god, t-this is... it's impossible..."

Reginald groaned as he ran back over to the main console where he had first noticed the patch being uploaded without his authorisation. He stared at the screen and watched as yet more base code was overwritten, not just making subtle changes to the game but fundamentally and critically changing it from a science fantasy adventure to a... a vast, endless virtual reality orgy.

Inputcommandline>BaseMonsterAI. FindAggressionsubroutine. ReplaceBreedingsubroutine.

The fox dropped to his knees before the console as close by he heard one of his employees watching the monitors which allowed them viewing access to the in game world itself let slip a soft moan. He was so going to be fired by the end of the day. That wasn't the worst thing though. The worst part of it all was... it was probably going to get fixed, the hack identified and shut out again, before he had a chance to find a reason to log in himself, and feel any of what was happening first hand.

*********

"O-ohh god... please, baby... turn to the Caravellia feed again. Lets see if it's working. Oh. Ohh fuck, yes. Look at him go. Look at her. Oh fuck, y-yes..."

Riding her boyfriend hard, Reena moaned in ecstasy as one of the half dozen screens in front of her shifted back to the lioness they'd looked at before. Only now, she wasn't masturbating. Now she was screaming, roaring, clawing at the ground as her eyes rolled back in pure ecstasy while the Venoraptor alpha which had been stalking her before clutched at her flanks and back with four of its six limbs, while its dual-pronged erection plunged simultaneously into her cock and ass, fucking her hard as it roared in triumph and pure lust, not a shred of its normal aggression present as it not only bred the woman, but did so with the aim of making her cum as hard, as long and as often as possible.

"Aaahhhyess... now... please, make them all cum. All of them, all at once. Make them cum, and don't let them stop. Record it all. Every city. Every zone. Every instance. I... I want to see it all. All their pleasure. All those people, so happy, so horny because of us. Because of you, baby. Oh god. Yes. Yes! Just like that! Yes!"

*********

Mike squeaked, shuddered, and moaned happily as he felt Reena start to cum around him yet again as finally he too began to let loose, and unloaded deep into the pussy of the bobcat so wildly, deliriously riding him.

He had been a pretty good hacker before she met him, but it had been the bobcat's unique form of encouragement that had pushed him to these new heights of skill. Never in his life had he imagined that he would be able to hack the base code of an Orion Interactive game. But over the last few months, with Reena constantly by his side, sitting next to him or more often than not in his lap while he worked, he had built up to this point. He had tested himself, proved himself to her in greater and greater ways, and every time he used his skills to hack a couple's webcam as they fucked in view of it, or to stream live porn into a university lecture hall during what was meant to be a slideshow on deep sea arthropods, or anything else of that sort she had squealed in joy, told him how much she loved him, and then proceeded to fuck him senseless.

And with that motivation guiding him, of course Mike hadn't stopped. He had done more and more, achieved far more than he had ever believed himself capable of thanks to her coaxing and support. All of it leading up to today. All of it leading up to this moment where he gave Reena the gift of seeing their work bringing pleasure to tens of thousands of people all at once, and whispered the most important question of his life to the woman who had given that previously rather humdrum, solitary life of his meaning again.

"Marry me, Reena."

He gasped as he continued to twitch and cum inside of the trembling, giddily wailing bobcat.

"Please. Ooohh god, marry me. And, together? As husband and wife, we'll... oh, yes... we'll hack the whole world."
