Chapter Title: I Became a Tentacle Monster (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"So... you're telling me to become a tentacle monster right now. That's what you're saying?"
"Mm-hmm. Exactly."
The fate of my life took a bizarre turn the moment the goddess said those words.
Me, a tentacle monster. What the hell did that even mean?
I protested with an indignant look on my face.
"What kind of nonsense is that? I just wanted to play the new Tzukkur game! This isn't what I signed up for!"
"Whether you wanted it or not doesn't matter."
Doesn't matter?
Tsk tsk. The goddess wagged her finger.
"What matters is that you agreed to faithfully follow my commands for the next hundred years. It's only been five minutes. If you're fine staking your life on it, then go right ahead."
Damn it.
It was all because of that damned contract.
I gritted my teeth.
I never imagined that playing a Tzukkur game would suck me into another world for real.
Achieving the highest score on the previous game had unlocked a chance to test the sequel, and I'd jumped at it without a second thought. That was my fatal mistake.
Tentacle Advance—a game where you play as a tentacle monster ravaging women left and right.
Of course I'd been hyped to boot it up.
But when I opened my eyes, I was in some weird forest. Then the goddess appeared and ordered me to become a real tentacle monster and fuck every woman in this world—from villages to castles and beyond.
Before entering the game, there'd been a prompt asking if I'd serve the goddess for the next hundred years.
I figured it was just some in-game flavor text, like those endless terms of service nobody reads. So, like everyone else, I clicked agree without a glance. Now the goddess was using it to strong-arm me.
Frustration dripped from my expression, but the goddess pressed on in an exaggerated, theatrical tone.
"Don't you feel even a little sorry for that pathetic dick of yours that's never fucked a single woman?"
"Huh?"
Out of nowhere?
"Ditch that useless lump and live as a mighty tentacle monster. Proud, beautiful women will kneel before your powerful tentacle cocks, helpless to resist as they drip with arousal."
"..."
Good lord.
Was this really something a self-proclaimed goddess should say?
This world was rotten to the core, no doubt.
But no matter what I thought, the goddess didn't care.
"Fuck tons of women and strengthen your tentacles. Just vent your lust on anything that moves."
Her tone was solemn, utterly at odds with the vulgar words spilling from her lips. Her shining eyes held a hint of madness as she smirked at me.
"Or would you rather end your life right here?"
"No, not that."
"Then you'll do it? Yes or no. Pick one."
"Y-Yes. I'll do it..."
What choice did a mere human have against a goddess's whims? It was coercion that drew a sigh from me all on its own.
Fine. Better a tentacle monster than dead...
"Wait, though—why tentacles of all things? I just want to live a normal life."
For real.
I couldn't understand it.
Why did I have to become a tentacle monster?
Why tentacles specifically?
Couldn't I get some overpowered skills like in those other stories and live it up in another world?
The goddess chuckled.
"I've created countless worlds over the eons... Demons kings rise, heroes emerge, they clash and fight... Sometimes the hero wins, sometimes the demon king, sometimes they even fall in love."
Her eyes were filled with melancholy. But as she continued, sorrow crept in.
"That's all fine and good, but after seeing it so many times, even that's starting to feel a bit stale. So I thought—does the demon king have to be the ultimate villain? Isn't that just a stereotype?"
Hm?
"What if, in one world, a tentacle monster fucks every woman around, grows stronger, and becomes the supreme villain? Not a bad change of pace."
"..."
So she was just bored of the usual setups and throwing me in as a tentacle monster on a whim?
What a flimsy reason.
"Anyway, you don't get a choice. When I say jump, you jump."
She was right.
The world was survival of the fittest, carved into my bones.
And with those final words, something suddenly crushed down on my body with immense force.
"Guh!"
Unable to even gasp under the pressure, the goddess's deep voice rang out again.
"I'm granting you the body of a tentacle monster right now. Since I crafted it myself, the performance is guaranteed. Your starting form is weak, but do I really need to micromanage that? Figure it out."
No!
I don't need that—send me back to the real world!
"Good luck. I hope you provide some entertaining viewing."
The goddess smiled slyly.
Unfortunately, my pleas didn't reach her. A blinding light filled my vision. It swelled in an instant, swallowing everything.
'Sh-shit!'
I blinked, and consciousness faded.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Sluuuurp—
Squiiirm, squirm—
'Ugh, what the...'
My head throbbed. My senses felt off.
'H-Hey!'
I tried to speak, but no sound came out. Did I even have a mouth?
'What the fuck is this.'
Moving felt like wriggling with just a torso.
Had I really become a tentacle monster?
For real?
Where the hell was I?
I couldn't be sure, but it sure wasn't my old one-room apartment.
The goddess had sent me to another world, after all. This was probably nowhere near Earth.
The ground was muddy and sticky, like wet clay, with a faint breeze blowing.
That breeze alone felt like it could blow me away.
'Ugh, fuck... Talk about a bolt from the blue.'
I plastered myself flat against the ground, and only then did I feel somewhat secure. My body was viscous like slime, able to shift shapes somewhat at will.
'Is this for real?'
I'd held out hope it was all a joke until the end, but it looked like I was truly a tentacle monster now.
I wished it was a dream, but the vivid sensations coursing through me said otherwise.
Groooowl—
A weird rumble from my gut.
Did I even have guts? Anyway, I was starving.
I needed to eat something.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙[Eat grass nearby.]
Ah... okay.
Following the message's advice, I started moving. I had to fill my stomach somehow.
Squish, squish—
No eyes, and my only sense was through the body parts touching the ground.
Just head anywhere, as far as possible.
'Why the hell am I in this mess...'
It was frustrating as hell, sensing nothing and relying on luck. Human senses were a godsend.
'Huh?'
After wriggling on, I touched something different from the mud.
Squish, squish—
'This... a tree?'
It felt hard and solid—definitely a tree.
Perfect. Grass grows around trees.
I circled the trunk, wriggling about, until I finally found some grass.
'Finally! Ugh, but how do I eat it?'
No mouth in sight. As I pondered, another message popped up.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙[A new skill has been acquired.] [Check details in Status.]
New skill? Status?
Thinking "Status" brought letters assembling before me into a clear window.

'Ah.'
The stat screen was up.
Everything at 1. Absolute garbage stats.
Made sense, though. Touching the grass told me I was about the size of a human knuckle.
No.
She told me to ditch my useless dick and fuck women with mighty tentacle cocks.
How the hell was I supposed to do that like this—tiny, weak, and dickless to boot?
Anyway, info time.
Thinking about the skills brought up their details.
⚫ Fluid Body and Core Body can move fluidly. Will not die unless core is destroyed. Core has double Endurance. Recover from damage by ingesting nutrients.⚫ Evolving Tentacles Number and power of usable tentacles increase with level. Currently: 1 tentacle (Digestion Tentacle).
'Ah... so use the Digestion Tentacle to eat grass, huh.'
The descriptions made it clear how to use it. The knowledge just popped into my head.
Writhing my body stimulated a strange sensation, and pop—a tentacle sprouted from my main mass.
'Hmm.'
The tip had a little mouth-like opening.
'Feels weird.'
Weird or not, no choice. I maneuvered the tentacle to graze and munch the grass.
Munch, munch—
'...Grass tastes better than I thought.'
Was it because I'd become a tentacle monster, or had I lost my mind?
Forest grass I'd expected to taste like crap was actually decent.
Maybe because my "tongue" wasn't human anymore.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙[Sufficient nutrients ingested.]✨ LEVEL UP! ✨Lv 1 → Lv 2
+ All Stats slightly increased
Checking Status showed every stat had bumped to 2.
Even so, I felt way more energetic, lighter, and nimbler than before.
'Whew. So what now?'
The goddess told me to fuck women.
But in this state, I'd get squashed before getting near one. No dick anyway.
'Survive first.'
That seemed like priority one.
A weird tentacle monster life, sure—but maybe it'd lead somewhere.
I wriggled around, devouring all the nearby grass.
First things first: stuff myself with nutrients and level up.
