Evil uses for virgins; Killer paper words
This dream is too strange not to record. However, it's kinda... uh. Well. you'll see.
Basically, it's about evil uses for a virgin. And expanded details on one of those single uses. This is just stuff made up by the dream.
Now, the thing is, accounting to this dream, the main power as a demon (going off a more D&D concept of demon BTW) that you get from a virgin that just happened to be offered up to you by a sorcerer is based on the very concept of virgins being special. There's actually nothing special about virgins except the idea of them being special. It's like the idea that painting something red makes it faster. If it actually works, it's because it's believed in. You could just eat the virgin or something, but the power's modest compared to what you could potentially gain.
You see, as a demon, you have an unique opportunity. They're relatively ignorant of what sex's actually like. This is your chance to utterly warp their idea of sex before it's properly formed. By this method, you can gain a very interesting evil minion. I won't go into the nasty details. The dream did, but I'm not going to.
Now, this next thing is almost a tangent, in fact it's more "evil use a sorcerer can get out of a virgin" than "evil use a demon can get out of a virgin". It does use a virginal offering as part of a ritual. Now, what this ritual ultimately does, beyond a relatively modest stat boost (given in actual D&D stats: bonus of 2 to AC, +3 hit points, +1... something else), is offer you the opportunity to join the army of this Wicked Witch (in the Oz sense). Essentially, the opportunity to become a demon. You give up the stats gain and a part of your autonomy in order to gain much more impressive power than the small stats would've given you.
As for the nature of this army? It's actually kinda goofy. Yet horrifying to me at least (maybe just laughable to you). They're living paper. Each one a written character. Living expressions of the written word. Malicious expressions of writing. That utilize gags related to assorted processes used in the editing process. Especially the erasing ones. They're made out of a peculiar fusion of matter and... other not-matter. They eat matter. They eat cities. Each one has an unique power that is an editing-related (or writing-related) gag. The purpose of every single one of those gag powers is carnage. Killing people en-mass. With gags.
Now, I'm told by this dream that if you pull the ritual off right, when you peel off the wrapping for the stickers (apparently this ritual actually uses stickers bought from a store), you will see a beautiful host inside, and they will see you as beautiful, and you will be one of them. If you pull it off incorrectly, all you will see will be stickers. And they will see you as ugly. And they will decide to destroy you. I've thought about it, and the only way to survive this situation would, most likely, be something on the order of a contingency teleport spell. Something like that. And then you would be surviving with the knowledge that you had unleashed a city-destroying force.
To me, this paper army has some of the goofy yet terrifying feel of vermicious knids from the book Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Not quite as terrifying as the knids were at the early age which I read the book (which had illustrations that made them look particularly creepy in an utterly unnatural looking, wrong way without negating their goofiness which honestly was part of the terror), but still, yeah. I wouldn't want to ever face something like that.
