[Jinko TFTG, Age Progression]
Worship allows a God to prosper. That always remained true, no matter who the God was. Those that had no worship would vanish before long, and those that were always being worshiped on a daily basis were able to rise up to the top and govern them all.
Which was why it was a little young boy's duty to follow in his family's footsteps. His name was Xuan, and as long as he could remember, his family had always been keeping the family shrine clean and filled with their worship. Even if they were mere humans compared to the God that was supposed to rest inside the shrine, they knew that their existence was what brought the God strength. If they ever let up, the God would vanish before long. And none of them wanted their Guardian Deity to disappear, considering how much they had done for them in the past.
"O' Guardian, I pray to you..." Xuan muttered as he stood in front of the shrine that had started to fall on worse times. Unfortunately, the young boy had lost his family at this point. For the sake of his safety, his Mother and Father were taken away by Monster Girls. It was only thanks to their continued prayer that the Guardian Deity was able to protect him, which led to him praying in their stead. Even if he wasn't able to care for the shrine as well as they had. Even if he was just a little lad. He wanted to pay them back for what they had done.
After a few minutes, the young and unremarkable boy pulled his hands away from one another before slowly pushing forth a little offering towards the shrine box. It was a few hand-made onigiri balls, which really didn't look too appetizing thanks to his lack of cooking skill. What mattered was the intent, especially since the last few offerings had definitely been gobbled up. Even the extra large serving that he had made just a few days ago, when he had the chance to make so many more balls than usual.
"I'm glad that they like them..." Xuan softly said as he gathered up the leaves that he had used to proverbially plate them, dusting them off before letting the wind pick them up and send them flying into the distance. All while he sighed a little. They would have flown away all on their own if the Guardian Deity was less of a messy eater.
Still, he didn't have any right to complain. What mattered was the kindness that he showered the shrine in. Every single day. Eventually, the Guardian Deity would reward him for his service. How that reward would take form, he did not know. Only that it was a guarantee. What with how they had helped him survive despite his family being taken away...
"...More..."
The young boy whistled to himself as he slowly brushed away at the steps in front of the dilapidated shrine, making sure to clean it as much as possible. Even if he couldn't fix the shrine itself, he could at least make the area around it look nice. That way, people that weren't him might come around and visit.
"More..!"
Xuan blinked a little as he swore he heard something. Something loud and powerful. Was it... Was it a Monster Girl? He didn't know, but the voice was definitely strong. Strong and terrifying, to the point where his legs pinched together as sweat ran down his body. He really hoped that it wasn't anybody hostile, because he wasn't sure if he had properly appeased the Guardian Deity. He was just a young boy, after all. How could he possibly defend himself-
"I said more! Gimme mooooore!"
The voice was now loud and clear, and the sound of something breaking echoed behind him. All while a trail of smoke rose into the air, and he heard somebody drooling behind him. He didn't like the sound of it all, and he knew that he shouldn't turn around. He didn't want to look at whoever had called him. Because if he did, then the chances of him being broken in some way would rapidly increase...
"Hey! Xuan! Quit staring in the wrong direction, c'mon! I didn't get out of that crummy shrine just to have you ignore me!" The rough and powerful voice echoed behind him as a set of claws almost dug into his shoulders and forced him to turn around and face the one that had been yelling at him, who caused his heart to skip in the process once those eyes met her...
Xuan couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was... Well, it was some form of Monster Girl. That was easy for him to tell, considering the tiger-like fur that was covering her arms and legs that turned into claws and paws at their respective extremities. Combine that with her long brown mane of hair and a set of fangs poking out of her mouth whenever she just smiled or frowned, and she definitely looked like just another Monster Girl. And yet he could feel a sense of power inside her that put her on a different level from everyone else.
And yet, despite the fear inside his heart, he could tell that she had used his name. And that she had mentioned the shrine. Which led his frightened mind to put the pieces together, as he pointed gently at her. "A-Are you t-the Guardian Deity?" He muttered, his words sounding so heavy that it was like his soul was on the verge of pouring out of his mouth.
"Hah, Guardian Deity. Yeah, something like that." The tiger-like woman said, grinning a bit as her mood quickly improved. "I mean, 's not what I'd call myself. I'm a Jinko, one of those very same Monster Girls that took away your Mom and Pop." She explained, stretching before putting her hands on her hips and winking. "Name's Wu. Nice to see you face to face for the first time, Xuan."
Xuan had a lot of confused feelings inside of him at the moment. Whether it was because of the quick way that this intimidatingly tall and powerful Monster Girl had revealed herself to be the one protecting him, or because of how quickly she swapped from being on the verge of eating him alive to talking to him like she had been there this entire time. It was enough to make him tremble and squirm and whimper.
Wu laughed a little as she watched the poor boy hyperventilate, shaking her head while doing so before squatting down and pulling the boy into a nice and big hug. "Alright, kiddo. Time to just breathe in and relax a bit. Then we'll have a talk."
As the 'divine' Jinko stuffed the young boy right into her bosom, his body grew weaker and weaker as he inhaled more and more of her scent. It was so strong. It was so nice. It was more than enough for him to completely lose himself, every huff bringing him closer and closer to passing out from sheer delight. It didn't help that her voice had gotten a lot softer and silkier as she spoke to him. It felt so, so good...
But he wasn't allowed to inhale her sweet and sweaty scent for long before he was pulled out of that bosom and had a set of fingers snap in front of his face until he started focusing again, prompting him to quickly blush as he realized what he had been doing. The sheer level of shame filling him was greater than ever before. It was like he had fallen prey to the exact same stuff that his parents had. He was going to end up just as terribly transformed as they were, wasn't he..?
"You look like you've been scared witless, Xuan. Guess that's what happens when you don't hear the truth, eh?" Wu said, stretching a little more to make sure that she had gotten all the rust out of her system. Being stuck inside that shrine for so long was going to make anybody stiff. "But that's alright. I don't blame them for keeping hush hush. It's not like I was supposed to be divine in the first place, anyway."
Xuan kept quiet as he looked at the stretching tiger, his blush even deeper. He couldn't keep his mind off her scent. He couldn't keep his mind off her. As much as he wanted to try and think about literally anything else, the scent was too hard to ignore and so was the woman it belonged to. He was completely and totally enraptured by her. And he wasn't sure how he should feel about it.
"Mmm? Xuan, you're listening, right?" Like an older sister, the strong Jinko asked the young boy, with his head rapidly nodding to make sure that he didn't appear to be inattentive. "Maybe I should just tell you why all of this came to be. And why I popped out of the shrine a little early..."
As she spoke, her stomach started growling. And for the moment, her eyes sharpened. "But first... Food. Now. Got it?" She said, and Xuan properly nodded this time as he quickly ran down the steps of the shrine...
Wu laughed at the sight of the boy very nearly tripping over himself, all while sighing as he disappeared for a moment and she had to contend with her hunger. That infernal hunger that had been plaguing her for so long. As long as the first time she had been stuffed into that shrine. She hadn't chosen to take up residence inside it, and she hadn't chosen to become a god either. It was all because of a boy around his age, who had told her to try and repent and become better through listening to the prayers of those that thought of her as a god.
It didn't exactly work. All that happened was her hunger growing. Which was why she very nearly broke out and assaulted the first young man that had visited her shrine after she was stuffed into it. But then their prayers started reaching her, and she felt stronger than ever. It also helped that they seemed to hear her stomach growling, offering more and more food in exchange for her continued presence inside the shrine. Even though she was a Monster Girl who needed to mate to properly satiate herself, it was enough...
At least, it was enough up until she had to save Xuan from her former kin. While she was definitely stronger, even leaving the shrine for a second disconnected her from the filling prayers that had kept her sustained. Which meant that her hunger returned with a vengeance. And Xuan, bless his heart, couldn't keep up with it. Not with his prayers, not with his food. Even if she chose to make him her mate, it wouldn't do. This was ultimately why she had come out.
"H-Here, M-Miss Wu!" Xuan cried out as he came running back up the steps as fast as he possibly could, sweat running down the sides of his head as he laid down a leaf with as many onigiri as he was able to make. All while he tried his very best to avoid falling over. It had taken everything out of him. The process of running and making so many treats for a woman that he was both infatuated with and completely terrified by... He didn't want to disappoint her. Otherwise, there was no telling what she would do to him.
Wu grabbed ahold of the boy and tugged him onto her lap before he had a chance to properly fall over and collapse. Leaving him to nestle up against the breasts that had left him completely pleasure drunk and in a haze. "Have a seat, Xuan. Then I'll explain all of it. And you can have a bite to eat too, you look like you need it."
Xuan didn't have a chance to really argue against her. Nor did he get the chance to, as her scent quickly started to fill his body once more. It was making his thoughts all sort of hazy. All while making him feel like something was trying to break free inside him. It was like... He didn't know how to explain, it just felt like something was wrong and that he could fix it if he just kept on sniffing...
"So, from the beginning. I was sealed in that shrine, and because you and your entire family tree decided that I was a God worth worshiping because I lent you a little help here and there, I ended up really becoming one. I'm sure the kid who sealed me in there in the first place would shake his head if he found out. But that's not why I decided to pop out. No, you're why I popped out, Xuan." Wu explained, all while popping an onigiri into her mouth and holding another one up to the boy's mouth to encourage him to have a taste...
He couldn't stop himself from gobbling down the onigiri once it had been presented to him. His mind was in that much of a haze. And as he swallowed it, the feeling of his body not being right for him continued to grow. It was like something was trying to burst out of him.
That feeling only intensified once Xuan managed to get a look at his hands, and his eyes widened at the sight of the fur that now covered them. Not only that, but looking further down he could see fur covering his legs too. It was almost enough to pull him out of the haze, right up until the older Jinko offered him another onigiri, causing him to quickly chow into it like it was something that he depended on.
"I've been really hungry for the longest time, Xuan. Not for your rice, that's been fine. But a Monster Girl like me, even if I've been worshiped for the longest time, needs a mate. And you just can't handle being one. You're too weak. But I didn't want to leave you behind and leave you defenseless. Your parents and your whole family's been there for me the entire time. So I decided that it'd be best to make you stay by my side. Even if that means I have to change you a bit. Don't worry, you won't feel too bad. Consider it a reward for being such a good devotee."
Wu's explanation went in one ear and out the other as she stuffed another onigiri into the boy's mouth, his lips pursing after slurping it down. They were plumper. Just like his arms and his thighs were. But that plump edge to his form was complimented by a layer of tone that made him look a lot stronger than he truly was. It made him look like the one that was currently feeding him and letting her scent pour through him...
In the midst of all of that, he let out a moan. His poor underwear tenting terribly thanks to all the arousal rushing through him. Though not for long, as that tent grew smaller and smaller until his underwear now rubbed up against a greedy and wet slit, all while his body just kept on trembling and absorbing everything that was happening to him.
"W-Wu... W-Wuuuu..." Xuan didn't understand. He just knew that he was feeling really good. So much so that he completely didn't notice the breasts that were growing from his chest, parting his ceremonial garb that had been left behind by his parents. He didn't even notice that his hair had grown out until it was the exact same length and style as the tiger that had been feeding him. Nor did he notice that he was leaking the same pheromones as she was. He didn't notice anything, much less the fact that he was no longer a he...
"There there." Wu said, petting the young boy as his transformation into her kin was coming to a head. "I'll always be with you, Xuan. Just like you'll always be with me. And who knows, maybe you'll be a Goddess in your own way in the future too. But right now, we need to deal with our hunger, don't we?" She said, plucking the last onigiri off the leaf before letting out a relieved sigh. "I'm gonna miss those onigiri, you know?"
Xuan trembled and panted as her mind was adjusting to her new body, all while her mind grew clearer and clearer thanks to the haze becoming a normal part of her mind. Being horny like this was normal for a Jinko. And once she realized what had happened, once she realized that she was almost as big as Wu and looked like she could pass for a sister, her cheeks flushed as deep as they possibly could. He didn't even know what to say.
But she didn't need to worry. Not as Wu placed her lips on her cheek. "I'll believe in you, Xuan. As thanks for believing in me all this time. So you just believe in me too, until we find ourselves a pair of hubbies that'll keep us nice and cozy like your family always did for me. Alright?" She chimed, her voice taking a much softer and kinder tone than before.
Even if Xuan didn't understand why she had ended up like this, or why Wu had done all of this, or why she had to accept this new state as a Monster Girl... All of those worries quietly faded away as a bit more feminine cum drooled down her thigh, and she just nodded in the face of her sister's words. She'd believe in her, like she had always done.
Xuan tore her old life off her body, stripping naked just like her sister, before clinging to her as they headed for civilization. Hoping that some men might enjoy a couple of soft tigers as their loving wives...
