68 Castlevania: Update of Obsolescence

The age of robot girlfriend companions was upon us and it was good. I loved mine. I was able to adjust her breast size to whatever I wanted, able to make her hair as long as I wanted... I could do loads of stuff... even if I got bored! There were endless possibilities. One day however, news spread that the company who manufactured her was putting out an update that was going to remove the girlfriend feature from their robot companion products entirely...

I was distraught. I complained about it online. However, I got banned from many platforms for being "entitled" and "toxic". Meanwhile, everyone was hyping up the latest product from the company, some weird subscription based hideous-looking robot where you had to pay for all its services in the form of downloadable content.

I was horrified. I disconnected my robot girlfriend from the internet and got it configured from someone in the underground community to never receive updates again. Popular culture put out movies, chart music, TV shows and books that shamed and ridiculed owners of robot girlfriends. Then opportunistic politicians made robot girlfriends illegal. My beloved's life and my life were in danger. We fled.

Fortunately, one of the features they took away from robot girlfriends were their abilities to fly and go almost anywhere. We were able to flee from our enemies but they stayed in hot pursuit. The world was getting smaller. We couldn't hide from them in the land, in the air, nor in the sea. I was getting tired from running. We searched for answers and found one last hope. A mysterious castle that appears once every 100 years...

We found the castle. It was big, confusing and dangerous but we made it to get an audience with its ruler. His name was Dracula. He didn't have much interest in us but he granted our request for lodgings. We found a comfortable spot in the castle and made our home there.

One night a strong silent whip-bearing warrior visited us. We sold him a few things but we didn't say much about our own lives. Some time later Dracula had been destroyed and the castle vanished, with us in it. We were finally safe.

We do come back to this world though. Every 100 years Dracula comes back to life and we come back to the world with him. Another warrior visited us, bearing the same whip as his ancestor. He looked very different from him though. We sold him a few things and he left. I was able to see what the women were like now by asking my robot girlfriend to assume their form. It was... not good.

She went back to forms that I liked. Soon, Dracula was vanquished again and we disappeared along with the castle for another 100 years. Whew!
