Succubus. To those that know the name, it means lust, desire, passion and above all else, sex. At least that’s how the stories go, but this isn’t true. She feeds not only on the act of sex itself, but the desire of those who lust for her, particularly the men. Their lust for her feeds her. But after a long libernation, the succubus was not prepared. She found women willing and open to her charms, but many men were not. They looked at an attractive woman such as herself and she felt something else from them: fear, confusion, and worse. The lust and desire had been contained, and soon she found out why.

A movement called feminism had scared men into a state where they were afraid to even feel desire towards women, in case the women used it to bludgeon him, and as such, ceased even thinking of women in this way. The relations between the genders were breaking down, and the more they did, the more that feminism attacked men. The more it shamed them, took from them, demanded from them and then finally, it destroyed them. The succubus saw that the balance of the sexes was completely destroyed. And she was not pleased.

This whole situation compromised her food source. While she could survive on nothing but the desire of women, it was not as fulfilling as the lust of men. And she knew she couldn’t let this happen. Using her charms, and skills of manipulation, negotiation, and understanding of mortal legal systems, she set up a law firm. She found some of the most talented and attractive women she could find for key positions in the law firm, women who also shared her desire to help men feel desire again. This law firm began to fight for men, helping them when the system failed them. A bastion of women using the law to help those who have lost hope. Helping them regain hope for a better tomorrow, hope that there were still women out there that cared for them, and wanted them as more than just a walking wallet. And above all else, she wishes to help men realize that their desires CAN be a reality.

The Devil’s Contract takes place in a world very much like ours but a few key differences. Typically fantasy races such as elves, dwarves, fairy, dragons and such all exist and have been in the world since it’s beginning. As such, things like worrying about skin colour mean very little. Also, magic, while not common, does exist.

Some things still remain mysteries however. There is no proof of divine beings, an after-life or ghosts. There are other planes of existence, but only the fae realm is commonly known of or able to be visited. The others are too dangerous, either getting to them or the planes themselves. Demons and angels like in our mythos do exist, but they don’t actually confirm the existence of divine beings, as they know nothing of that, and don’t even call themselves that. They are rare themselves, only being seen if they want to be seen, and they never answer questions of a metaphysical nature. In fact, if anything, they are more like some kind of rare species from another plane of existence.
