Chapter Title: D-Rank Hunter, Conquering the 16th Floor of the Tower of Lust
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Light conversation(?) wrapped up.
It was truly a brief moment, but one that felt like a memory I'd never forget for the rest of my life.
On the way back after leaving such a memory behind, that crazy woman said to me:
-Thank you for giving me this chance.
-I'll do my best to please you for the rest of our time together, Chang-gi.
-Oh, just in case: please don't ignore me and try to tough it out.
-That'd be too cowardly, wouldn't it?
-Think of it as giving me a shot, and enjoy your master life to the fullest.
Even if she tells me not to ignore her, reacting just makes her come on even more aggressively. It's a real pickle.
But ignoring her outright feels too advantageous for me.
I mean, I could enjoy everything there is to enjoy and then just say, "I'm not interested in you." Easy peasy.
-Right.
-How about climbing the tower with me tomorrow night?
-Gear up and come out.
-Let's make it a date, a little stroll.
The moment I showed I was hesitating, she pulled out her next move.
Hmm. A date in the tower?
What an absurd woman.
The tower itself felt like a massive mismatch right off the bat.
'A date, though? What's the worst that could happen?'
Thinking there was no way it'd be like the first floor again, I accepted for now.
-Of course, it's a secret from Seong-yeon.
-Just the two of us, nice and quiet.
...I should have caught on right then.
That's when I realized I'm the kind of guy who always regrets going up the tower.

............
...........
...The next day.
We set foot on [Tower of Lust, Floor 11].
A floor modeled exactly after a Korean city street.
At first, it just seemed like a peaceful urban area.
There were surprisingly many high-rises, and the map's scale was incomparable to the first floor.
Hell, there was even a subway, making me seriously doubt if this wasn't city-sized.
-She ran through a place like that.
-With every ounce of strength she had.
I instantly forgot that peaceful first impression and ran like hell, screaming my lungs out again!
Yeah, to escape the succubi chasing after my back!
"I knew it'd be something like thiiiis!!!"
""""Agaaaa~♡""""
"""
"KyaAAAAAHHHH!!!"
They're chasing us!
These milky-smelling married succubi!
Pretty and sexy!
They all had horns on either side of their heads and heart-shaped tails in their butt cracks!
In other words, these were the very succubi I'd been looking forward to!
"What's wrong? These are the succubi you've been dying for, Chang-gi. Close your eyes and dive in—just once. They'll welcome you with open arms, I'm sure."
"Yeah~! They'll welcome me alright! Not just welcome, but take my shit and piss too, those womeeeen!!!"
The knell of doom rang out from behind!
The warning that from now on, your dignity is done for!
Ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling.
Dingalingalingalingaling!!!
Keehee!! The [Baby Rattle] is comingggg!!!
-Ehyoooooo!!!
-Poor little thing covered in wounds everywhere!!
-What on earth happened to youuuu!!!
-Come here to mamaaa~!!!
-Your sweet mama will lick every single burn on your body nice and sloooow~!
-Curl up in mama's arms and tell us all about your hardships so faaaar~~!!
-Tired of life, are you!?
-Or did someone bully you??
-Either way, it's fine!
-Mamas will take it allll!!!
-Babies are the best! No need to think about anything!
-So be our baby~!
-We'll change your diapeeeeer!!!
KyaAAAAA!!!
The [Succubi in Kindergarten Teacher Cosplay] are swarming us!!!
"What the hell are those thiiiings!!"
"As you can see, they're the succubi managing this 11th floor. Floors 1 through 5 are for specific beast buddies, but this one's for grown-ups who need some maternal love."
"Grown-ups who neeeeed maternal looove~!?"
"Weary adults from harsh lives come here a lot. They trade their dignity to become kids again, you see."
"People like that exiiiist!?"
"Tons of them. Way safer and happier than floors 6 through 9, so plenty have surrendered their dignity."
That's not the calm explanation I wanted!
What are those crazy bitches!
Shaking rattles, shoving pacifiers, trying to diaper me~!
And...!
"Ah! No running from mama teacherrr~!"
"Warm mommy milk all ready for yoooou~!"
"Hehe. Take this! Shaking shaking! [Breast Milk Web] made by jiggling our boobs full of milk-!"
"Hieeek!?"
Hot breast milk shot from behind!
I dodged to the side in a panic, and it stuck to the utility pole like a spiderweb!
"Even aura would get you tangled if you blocked that."
"What happens if you get tangled!?"
"Are you seriously asking me?"
I glanced back.
Diapers.
Pacifiers.
Baby bottles too.
"Are those dangerous!?"
"Wearing them curses you with nursery-level muscle weakness. The moment you put one on or gulp down the milk, defeat is certain. Body and soul turn into 'unga unga,' their perfect little baby."
"You die if hit!?"
"No casualties here. But an irreversible fetish gets etched into your soul."
Ugh, no thanks.
A grown man babbling "unga unga" to succubi mommy teachers?
And they wipe your ass and change your diapers!?
Get caught, and your personality and dignity are toast!!
"By the way, they love women too. I'd be in danger if caught."
"You and me both in diapers, going unga unga!?"
"That's how it'd go. Naked except for a diaper, crawling on all fours."
"Hiiiik~!"
No! Though... seeing Ceres like that might be kinda hot!?
This damn floor's gonna give me weird fetishes!
"As you see, the map's huge, so even rescue teams only save about 20%."
"This a real hell!?"
"Heavenly hell. Life ends the moment you're caught, but they pamper you worry-free till you're an old man."
Hearing it like that, I kinda get why guys would come here!
Say my life's in the shitter for some reason—last resort, I'd consider this place!
Sacrifice dignity, get babied by beauties for life. How many men would say no!?
-Having second thoughts!?
-It's okay! Mamas are gentle!
-Just let go, no worries!
-Wanna go get some pork cutlet with mama?
-What about the new toys out lately!?
-Wanna see a play with mama!?
-Oh, that blonde girl! She'd look great in pumpkin pants!
-The guy next to her her boyfriend?
-We'll raise you both as a pair!
-Nooo! I wanna adopt themmm!!
I wavered for a sec but snapped out of it.
I don't remember ditching my dignity to diaper-crawl with Ceres!!
"Huff! Huff! Fuck! Succubi everywhere I go!"
"They're piling up."
"Piling up!? You don't mean my balls, right!?"
"No sexual harassment... I mean the succubi. You can see their numbers swelled while the tower was blocked. We should've periodically wrecked buildings and culled them, but couldn't."
"What about the advance team? They spent over a week mapping!"
"They probably finished and left. Word is they're around floor 16 now, burning time on those gimmicks."
As expected of the [Cartographer Guild]! Pros at map-making!
No idea how, but they charted this insane succubi hell!
"Get caught now, and we're screwed. How about stopping the running and wiping them out?"
"Floor 11!?"
"If you can solo-mow down floor 1, no problem. Their attacks are simpler than floor 1—just watch the boobs."
'Easy for you to say!'
The moment Ceres stopped and turned, I spun around too.
We kicked off the ground simultaneously. A single cotton flower sprouted through the cement where we stood.
Cotton on a road? Tower weirdness?
No time for that—!
"Fuck it! Here I go for real!?"
"Yes."
The instant Ceres agreed, I gathered aura in my palms, compressed it, and twisted my torso.
Image: some famous comic's energy beam.
"Take this! My ultimate move forged rolling down hills for a week! Aura Beaaaam-!"
First strike: blasted the compressed beam from my palms, sending them flying.
Lame name, even by my standards, but simple means absolute power.
"Buhoook!?"
"The light, uwoooooh!!!"
"KyaAAAAAHHH!!!"
First real combat use, but caught thirty off-guard easy.
They panicked, fumbling into formation.
"The babies are charging!!"
"Eek, must be built-up stress!"
"Poor things!"
"Don't back down!"
"Right! Society made them this way!"
"We gotta save these kids!!"
"Wait right there, babies! Mommies cominggg~!!"
Undeterred, they charged. Ceres bared her lion aura.
The advanced technique I'd first seen when she tried killing me.
After endless training viewings, I knew exactly the fang-bared beast's massacre show.
"How dare you call yourselves my parents. Disgusting."
A massive lion rose from her back, raised its forepaw, and slammed it down.
The ground cratered, and per the skill, [everything touched vanishes].
"Heek!?"
"Mama 18580 gone!"
"My comrade too!"
"No bodies left!?"
One slam, five gone.
Erased completely.
And it could expand range with aura—cheat skill.
"Babies, run! Another paw-!"
Whoosh!
Horizontal swipe, thirteen dead.
Succubi couldn't even scream.
"Top-rankers are on another level!"
Not to be outdone, I gathered aura on my fingers, spiked them out, piercing five at once.
"Uuuoook!?"
"H-Heart!?"
"I hate killing humanoid enemies, but you're exceptions! I'll dry your seeds right here!"
"Eek! Don't be mean to mamaaa!!"
"We just wanna make you haaappy!!!"
"No worries! No stress! Live haaappily~!"
"Bullshit! Diapering me for that crap? Not in a hundred years, bitches!"
Image: thumbs, index, middle, ring, pinky—three hands' fingers spiked with aura.
Inspired by Ceres's skill.
Secret technique from a week of beatings: [Aura Extension].
"All-Direction Aura Finger!"
"Wha-!"
Pierce and sever with five strands from fingertips.
More like extend long, stab, then snap from the root. Looks like shooting from fingers.
"Kahaak!?"
"L-Liar! What iiiis this!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Stabs through bodies, then aura vanishes from root.
Looks like beams— the trick.
"Uwoaa... Wanted to hug you moooore...!"
"Huuuaaaaah!!!"
Fatal stabs turned succubi to dust from toes up.
Succubi dusting like vampires in sunlight.
"Fucking works great! Hey, you bitches! Your filial son's out here~! Aura Finger! Aura Finger! Aura Fiiiinger!!!"
Aura on right five fingers—ping!
While reloading right, left five—ping!
Left done, right reloaded—five beams ping!
"Grhk!?"
"S-Someone, cover!"
"Idiot! Don't block! It pierces!"
"Sorry, too la... KUHAAAA!!!"
"Kyaak! The big stroller for the kids issss!!"
One, two, three, four, five~!
Stab, kill!
Kill, kid items drop clatter!
Occasional loot, no time to grab—keep killing!
"Heek!?"
"Kkuk!"
"Too fast!"
"Those fingers are death rays! Get outta there!"
"Like that's easy!"
Yeah, like that's easy.
Point, that succubus pierced dead.
New technique from maxing aura extension speed and skill proficiency over the week.
Heh, cool.
Comic stuff now real—!
No more straining on the toilet yelling "Uwooh beam come out!"
"...Chang-gi."
Seeing me like that, Ceres—who'd dusted the area too—suddenly asked.
"Why snap and shoot the aura?"
"Why?"
"If you can extend it that long, isn't it easier to keep it extended and swing like claws?"
Meaning, shape it like hers.
Fair point.
Still, my answer:
"'Cause this is cooler!"
"To think my lifelong honed technique gets copied for such childish whims..."
Fantasy since seeing her aura tech.
Easy to mimic with comic precedent.
If this works, maybe that soon too.
"Heh. Got a reason to build more aura techs now."
"Plotting something weird again?"
While we chatted, succubi moved.
"Careful, everyone! These couple's tag-teaming weird shit!"
"Don't get close to the girl! Instant death even if blocked!"
"Stick to the guy instead! Ranged specialist!"
Nice kills, but they countered fast.
Screaming, thrusting boobs for milk sprays, diapers, some psycho dumping formula.
"Why spiderwebs from the formula!?"
"Obvious. They wanna force victims to drink what they squeezed."
"So not formula, straight from the source~?"
"Wanna drink?"
"My girlfriend's maybe, but their milk? Die first!"
Got their rhythm.
Knew their attacks.
Simple.
"I'll handle close ones. You take the backliners, Chang-gi."
"After?"
"Like floor 1's safari bus, there's a safe zone gimmick. Cull 'em, then bolt there."
"What gimmick?"
Ceres pointed.
Beyond succubi-guarded road, a decent-sized restaurant.
"See that?"
Entrance sign: [No Kids Zone].
"Mamas who love kids can't step foot there. Absolute safe area."
"Damn, tower concepts on point. Dodging this pissed me off."
Worst date spot, best stress relief.
We went full berserk, slaying hordes of succubi to reach the safe zone gimmick.
