Editing Monster Girl Encyclopedia (section)

==The Setting==
To understand what happens, you must know of one thing: Dragon Quest. The first three NES games were to the Japanese RPG what DOOM was to first-person shooters, or Street Fighter II to fighting games. One of the concepts it popularized was the 「魔王」 ''Maou'' (or Ma-Oh or however you wanna spell it)<ref>The word Maou comes from Buddhism, and was originally used in modern Fantasy in the Japanese version of [[The Lord of the Rings]], as a translation of "Witch-King".</ref>, a.k.a. the Great Demon King. The BBEG of BBEGs for your stereotypical Japanese European Fantasy. Demons, Monsters, and even wild animals bow to their will, and will become more aggressive and hostile; many JRPGs will have somebody in the first town complaining about an increase in monster attacks, this dude is why; and their will is typically the conquest and/or destruction of Humanity, and they're usually not fond of Elves (with the usual exception of Dark Elves) or Dwarfs either. This usually leads to a war and a lone Hero who must gather their allies, journey to the Demon King's/Maou's castle, and slay them to bring peace to the land once more. This setup has been played straight, twisted, parodied, inverted, subverted and perverted in nearly every possible way in the thirty or so years since Dragon Quest came out. So here we go again...

A brief summary is pretty simple. A Succubus has overthrown the previous Demon King/Monster Lord and taken the throne for herself along with a new title; The Maou. Unlike the Demon Kings/Maou's of Dragon Quest, she doesn't have any particular hate-boner against Humanity, quite the opposite in fact, as she has fallen in love with us (and one Hero in particular). She sees Humanity and Monsters as equals and wants to end the cycle of violence between them. Her plan for peace is quite unique: transforming all Monsters into lusty succubus-based hybrids females, and setting them out to score themselves Human husbands. Peace through mutually-ensured copulation, you might say. These new [[Monstergirls]] are collectively called ''Mamano'', and have a bevy of additional abilities to aid them in their quest for love that read off like a [[Powergamer|munchkin-Bard's]] character-sheet [[Diplomancer|built for maximum dickplomancing.]] Greatly enhanced empathy to the point of being a pseudo-empath or low-level telepath, [[Detect Evil|an instinctual aversion to evil and wicked people]], a voracious species-wide instinct for romantic AND carnal love, a libido that is as high as the heavens, an innate knowledge of the art of sexual activity, ambient mana-emission that not only changes the environment into something easier to live in but also enhances the constitution (read: libido), body, and health of the Man who bonds to them through their mana, and of course; a rocking 10/10 body and positively heavenly assets that would not be out of place in a Hentai, which is good considering that this IS a work of Hentai.

By the era the Encyclopedia is written in she has completely succeeded in converting every variety of monster in existence into Monstergirls (apart from some [[:/d/|completely inhuman and debatably sapient tentacle monsters]]). She has also completed various humanitarian (monsteritarian?) efforts, most notably in the field of longevity so all the Human husbands don't end up dead centuries before their wives. Her long-term plans are to convert all Human women into Monstergirls and make it possible for Human Sons to be born from Monstergirls, essentially merging the two races wholly into one, with Human Men being the Males and Mamano being the Females.

Human civilization is largely theocratic and [[Medieval Stasis|low-tech]]. The average [[commoner]] is ignorant to the changes the world has gone through and still thinks Monsters want to eat them. The elites of Human society are well aware of Monstergirls but despise them for religious reasons. Human armies; when they are not busy LARPing [[Crusader Kings#Crusader_Kings_II|Crusader Kings II]]; are in a constant state of warfare with Monsters, and they're usually getting their asses kicked, [[Noblebright|as few men can muster themselves up to the level of cold-blooded sociopathy that is required to murder]] a [[Waifu|beautiful woman who earnestly and obviously truthfully professes their love for them.]] The Monster army loses more soldiers to them suddenly going on a AWOL honeymoon with their newly deserted/kidnapped husband than actual casualties. The tendency of the Human Kingdoms to utilize female soldiers and Heroes (as would be expected of such an anime-dosed setting) doesn't help, as Mamano "weapons"; which are almost always non-lethal; are designed to infuse the target with demonic energy, which usually renders them either cripplingly horny, temporarily paralyzed in the body part hit, or unconscious. Human women infused with demonic energy in this way will inevitably turn into more Monstergirls ([[Succubi]] by default unless there is non-generic demonic energy around), and several Monsters ''already'' have ways of doing that, like [[Werewolves]] and the various species of [[Slime|Slimes]]. The culture of the kingdoms are completely intolerant even of formerly-human Mamano, so the turned girls have to throw their lot in with the Demon Realms or Monster-aligned states, with the result being that the Human Kingdoms invariably hemorrhage troops in the many brief conflicts with the Mamano either due to them becoming husbands or being monsterized themselves.

Now why do the proud [[Imperial Guard|guardsmen]] ditch their duty at [[Extra Heresy|the drop of some monster-pussy]]? Because their societies are medieval shit-holes run by the exact kind of people you would expect to run such shit-holes, with a highly regimented and repressive caste system like culture that demonizes (ha!) and shames any sexual activity in general, and forbids relationships that either transcend social rank (e.g. a Lady Knight & a Male Commoner) or happen outside the permissions of an arranged marriage (e.g. Princess not wanting to be married off to Lord Farquaad). Just about everything in these societies is centered solely around extensive duties to the greater Order of the Chief God church or to the kingdom; and quite often those duties are one and the same with how entrenched and dependent on the Order the Human Kingdoms are, assuming of course that the Order just doesn't dispense with the pretenses and outright openly rules the kingdom. Essentially, Orderite Kingdom society boils down to nothing but work, duty, and sacrifice for the sake of the kingdom/Order, and you had better not step out of your assigned role in that society or else.

The real kicker though? The God that the primary religious order among humanity worships; The Chief God; does not hold humanity's best interests at heart. The Chief God wishes to undo the aforementioned transformation of the Mamano, and turn them back into murderous and decidedly not-sexy monsters that only desire to kill humans. Why? Because the previous cycle of violence and death that churned on through countless Heroes and Demon Kings of old was entirely controlled by the Chief God, who used it keep humanity dependent upon it. The rebellion of the current Maou is very much NOT part of its plans, and a return to the previous system of cyclical Demon Kings and Heroes would turn the world into a [[Grimdark]] nightmare on-par with [[Warhammer Fantasy]]. Few know of the Chief God's true aims, with the vast majority of humanity and possibly the other gods remaining ignorant of their head god's malevolence, but it is implied that the very pinnacle of the religious leaders are aware; and supportive; of the true plan. The Chief God's side is not in anyway the [[Alpha Legion|"secret good-guys"]] of the story, [[Erebus|they are only fanatical sociopathic control-freaks who cannot tolerate the idea of someone living a happy life outside of their control.]]

Mamano societies and aligned Human states; by comparison to the Orderite Kingdoms run by an evil cabal of pseudo-Shinto-Catholic/Jesuit-[[/pol/|Jew]]-hybrids; are far more free and prosperous cultures that thrive off of love and romance, being essentially societies set up for the maximum enjoyment and success of romantic couples. With the many cheat codes that abound within Mamano biology as described above combined with the practically do-anything nature of demonic energy, these places are genuinely enjoyable and incredibly easy to live in, being essentially utopias; examples include a Venice-like city of [[Merfolk|Mermaids]] and other aquatic Mamano, and a Dragon kingdom that lives off of tourism (all Mamano societies seem to extensively focus on tourism, but this one seems to live off of it). So when it comes down to living in either a grimdark [[Monty Python|Monty-Python-tier]] parody of a medieval society, or living in a literal utopia with abundant [[Waifu|waifus]], it's really not that surprising that most choose the latter.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst up to several Monstergirl wives. It is to live in the lewdest and most erotic regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of abstinence and innocence, for many have been ravished, never to be divorced. Forget the promise of virginity and being single, for in the [[Grimbright|grim]] and [[Nobledark|noble]] past there is only [[Rape|true love]]. [[Noblebright|There are no bad ends amongst the Monstergirls, only an eternity of honeymoons and lust]], and the shlicking of thirsty goddesses.
