In Dragonflight, things are heating up and sexual innuendos are making a comeback in World of Warcraft. This is not for the faint of heart.
In World of Warcraft, there are a number of recurring heroes and heroines. One of them is likely only known to those who deal with inscription or are interested in the small, seemingly uninteresting items in the game.
We are talking about the hero “Marcus”, who repeatedly appears in the in-game books “Risqué Romance Novels”. The good man has once again appeared in Dragonflight and is experiencing new, steamy adventures.
Who is Marcus? Marcus is the protagonist of the “risqué romance novels”. These are in-game books in World of Warcraft that were originally primarily stolen by rogues through pickpocketing.
In Legion, you could even meet the author of the books, Noah Scribeson, as he was part of the profession quests for scribes.
The books are full of explicit double entendres and bring even the most absurd pairings into play. Marcus sometimes has a fling with a naga, fishes for an undead lover, or spices up the love life of two Highmountain tauren.
In Dragonflight, the fame of Scribeson has apparently grown, as he has a little corner in the capital of the dragons where many “literary interested” people gather to listen to a reading from his latest book.
Some are so overwhelmed by “all the passion in the work” that they simply faint, like these two here:
The new “romance novel” story in Dragonflight
Since we know that you are naturally interested in Scribeson’s latest literary outputs (and are indeed reading further by now), we have translated the story of the “Lusty Draconian Mage” for you – as there is currently no official translation available. Enjoy:
The Lusty Draconian Mage
Surrounded on all sides by ravenous cultists, our brave hero Marcus finds himself in the midst of a situation that even with his superior skills and rippling muscles, he cannot overcome.
As the Horde prepares for the final strike, sensing that even his legendary stamina was running out, he braced himself to take as many of them with him as possible.
“Come at me,” he scoffed, manfully unfazed as he faced his certain doom. “Don’t keep me waiting.”
Just as their attack was about to strike, the world erupted in searing heat and blinding light. As the flames receded and the firestorm passed, Marcus found himself standing alone, blinking in a field of ash.
The crackle of fresh coals and the deep, feminine chuckle unveiled the presence of his savior. Turning around, he found himself near a vision that was as beautiful as his previous situation was terrible.
Clad in a daringly cut robe that hugged her curvy body tightly, revealing much of her flawless, unusually red skin, the figure made her way across the scorched ground, her fingers slowly gliding over the shaft that was undoubtedly a wizard’s staff.
“Thank you, my lady,” Marcus spoke, bowing as his eyes wandered over her shapely legs, across her wide hips and taut waist, lingering for a moment on her voluminous bosom as he straightened up to meet the face that was as lovely as it was unconcerned about the destruction she had just unleashed.
A pair of curved horns crowned her figure, only enhancing the exciting blend of splendor and danger.
“It seemed a waste to lose such a wonderful, heroic specimen as you to this rabble,” she replied, her gaze wandering as shamelessly as his. “You have displayed such impressive skill and … stamina during the battle that I could not help but intervene,” she said, her skin taking on an even richer shade of red as she continued her inspection.
“If there is anything I or Dragon’s Call can do for you …” he explained, casually flexing his battle-hardened muscles from years of adventure as he stowed his long blade with a single thrust, “… we are in your debt.”
“Anything?” she replied in a sultry voice, her ample chest pressing against the tight confines of her robe, a mischievous glint lighting up her yellow eyes at the mention of the sword’s name.
“Anything,” he confirmed. “I never leave a debt … unsettled,” he continued, raising his rough hand to gently caress the generous curves of her impressive form, feeling the hardness of her horns rub against his skin.
Shuddering slightly under his touch, she licked her full lips and then curled them seductively for a long moment before exhaling a plume of purple fire over our hero.
To his shock, Marcus did not feel the searing pain he expected but rather a gentle, revitalizing warmth as the flames flickered over his chiselled body, only burning away his leather attire while merely caressing the tanned skin beneath.
“Much better,” she purred, slowly appraising him from head to toe. “The breath of a red dragon lady can bring life just as easily as it can end it. I trust my flame has not harmed you?”
“On the contrary,” Marcus replied as her hot breath tantalizingly danced over his skin. “I feel utterly filled with life.”
Taking a step forward, she pressed her swaying body against the knight, contentedly gripping his newly revealed sword by the shaft. “Then let us see that your weapon lives up to its name, hero.”
<The book quickly discards the flimsy excuse of a plot it had maintained until this point.>
Why is this unexpected? In recent months, Blizzard has caused quite a stir among fans, as some risqué jokes or double entendres have been removed from the game – they are simply considered inappropriate nowadays. This occurred mainly in the shadow of the major sexism scandal at Blizzard.
The community’s concern was great that WoW would no longer have this type of humor in the future, as for many fans, it has always been part of the game. However, Noah Scribeson’s risqué books being represented in Dragonflight at least makes it clear that these antics still have a place in Azeroth.
And it would be a shame if we didn’t all find out what “heroic deeds” Marcus still has to accomplish in the years to come…
