Episode 61: Human Hunt (1)
Yoo Seol-hwa approached.
Lee So-hee tightly shut her eyes.
There was nowhere left to retreat.
She accepted her circumstances.
Reflecting on her complacent situation, she acknowledged her current reality.
"Wh-what am I doing here? You must have brought me here for a reason."
She asked.
There must be purpose behind her abduction.
Judging by the atmosphere, she hadn't been brought here to be devoured.
Clutching at her last hope, she posed the question.
"Curious?"
Yoo Seol-hwa reached out. Her hand touched Lee So-hee's chest.
Thud. Thud.
Slender fingers began undoing the buttons one by one.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
Lee So-hee slapped the hand away.
"Hmph... You're more oblivious than you look."
Yoo Seol-hwa roughly grabbed her wrist.
The monster hidden within Yoo Seol-hwa's clothes emerged.
'No way... No way...!'
"Uhyo, got ourselves a tasty-looking pussy here."
The monster licked its tentacles.
"No! No! Let me go! I don't want to do this with a monster!"
Now understanding the reality, she struggled desperately. She'd rather die than be violated by a monster.
Despite exerting all her strength, she couldn't escape Yoo Seol-hwa's grip.
"Eeek! Stop! Don't come iiiiiin!"
The monster's tentacle forced its way beneath her blouse.
The slimy appendage freely licked her defenseless body.
Sticky fluid coated her skin.
Goosebumps rose across her flesh. Disgusting. Filthy. She wanted to scrub herself clean in the shower.
"Too noisy. Hold this for a bit."
A tentacle shoved into her mouth. She bit down, but her weak jaw couldn't sever the rubbery flesh.
"That tickles. Are you begging me to fuck you already?"
The tentacle monster sneered. Tears streamed down her face as she endured its mockery.
"Seems wasteful to reward you already. Let's play some more."
The tentacle monster detached from Yoo Seol-hwa's body.
Transferring completely onto Lee So-hee instead.
"Ah..."
Yoo Seol-hwa sighed in disappointment.
The tentacle withdrew from Lee So-hee's mouth.
"Pwah... What are you planning?"
Lee So-hee recoiled in horror at the tentacle monster's full, grotesque form.
She tried to flee, but the tentacle's strength proved overwhelming. No amount of struggling could break its hold.
She felt like a fish caught in a net.
Despite desperate thrashing, she remained completely immobilized.
"Decent tits. Perfect for idle groping."
Squeeze. Squeeze.
The tentacle kneaded her breasts with practiced motions.
It seemed to instinctively know every sensitive spot to stimulate.
"Nngh! Khhk! Stop!"
She bit back moans escaping her lips.
Though repulsed and disgusted, her body gradually heated up.
"Hngbrrbbrb."
Her back arched violently.
As the climax subsided, she drowned in self-loathing.
Disgusted that a monster had brought her to orgasm.
While she shuddered with shame, the monster changed tactics.
A tentacle slithered toward her lower abdomen. Too consumed by self-hatred to notice.
"Hyeuk!"
A thin tentacle twisted her clit. Intense stimulation made her arch again.
Violent pleasure shook her mind. More intense than any sensation she'd ever experienced.
"Hng... Huh?"
She regained awareness. Felt drool on her chin. She'd completely surrendered to the tentacle.
Though ashamed, her body honestly awaited the monster's touch.
'Please... Stop... Let me go.'
Lee So-hee desperately looked at Yoo Seol-hwa. But the woman only watched the monster's movements, ignoring her completely.
"Let's stop here. Seems police are active. We need to leave with the Doppelganger quickly."
The monster retracted its tentacles. Dividing like an amoeba, it attached a copy to Lee So-hee's body.
An identical clone restrained her completely.
"We're leaving. You stay here awhile."
Another monster attached to Yoo Seol-hwa. Their Doppelganger followed behind them.
'Where could they be going?'
Terror gripped her. The Doppelganger would replace her.
Dread dominated her thoughts.
"Hwoob! Woob!"
She gasped ragged breaths.
The monster ignored her pleas.
A transparent rift appeared in midair.
Yoo Seol-hwa and her Doppelganger vanished into nothingness.
Left alone, Lee So-hee drowned in despair.

"Seol-hwa. Let's go merge Dimensional Gates first."
Having emerged outside, I established a short-term goal.
Our current Kingdom felt too cramped. We needed more territory.
Expanding our domain would let us hunt more humans for slaves.
"Yes... But how do we merge Dimensional Gates?"
Guilds and governments directly managed Dimensional Gates.
The exception being Gates where no portal had yet formed.
We needed to merge with Gates lacking connections between worlds.
Like the Dungeon where I was born.
"Don't worry, I have a method."
[You have subjugated a Dungeon containing a Fragment of God.]
[You may now enter Gates without active portals.]
[Scanning Gates... 15 portal-less Gates detected nearby.]
The System fully supported our actions.
Knock knock knock.
"Police. We received a missing person report. Is Lee So-hee here?"
Officers knocked on the door. I glanced at Lee So-hee's Doppelganger one last time. Perfect replica. Not even family would notice differences. Since it could even bear children, no one would ever realize it's a Doppelganger.
Except for me, the Dungeon's master.
"Raise your left arm. Good. Remember my commands?"
The Doppelganger nodded.
It blindly obeyed the Dungeon master's orders.
No monster could be more convenient.
"Good. Go outside. Handle the rest as instructed."
"Understood."
The Doppelganger stood. Moving robotically at first, its motions gradually smoothed like a newborn rapidly learning to walk. Or like downloading stored information directly into its body.
It opened the door.
"Yes, police? Her company filed a missing person report. Is anyone else inside?"
Officers peered past the door. To avoid suspicion, the Doppelganger opened it fully.
"Only the person who brought me to this hotel is here."
It perfectly replicated lingering drunken dizziness.
To the police, it appeared freshly awakened.
"I was so tired yesterday... We fell asleep together."
Seol-hwa joined the act.
They'd brought Lee So-hee to a hotel room.
Nowhere else would work.
"Are you two friends?"
"No, not exactly..."
"...I see. Please contact the company separately."
Police asked routine questions before leaving.
"Sorry for the trouble. I'll cover the hotel bill."
The Doppelganger apologized to Seol-hwa with chillingly perfect acting.
It completely embodied Lee So-hee.
"Remember what I asked you to do?"
"Of course. I'll check thoroughly before sending it. Don't worry."
The smiling Doppelganger exited the hotel room.
"Let's head back now. Slept enough?"
"Yes! In perfect condition."
Seol-hwa answered energetically. She'd gone home to sleep while Lee So-hee lay unconscious.
Having slept until evening, Seol-hwa was fully rested.
I led Seol-hwa toward the location indicated by the System.
[Displaying Gate ranks.]
[A-Rank - Demon's Dwelling]
"No, not this one."
The System automatically showed Dungeon ranks.
They matched the standard ranking system.
After several attempts, I found a suitable Dungeon.
[F-Rank Goblin Caves]
"Perfect. We can clear this easily."
An F-Rank could be cleared by just Seol-hwa and me.
Outskirts of hazard zones were classified as maximum F-Rank Dungeons.
As individuals who could traverse outskirts alone, we could easily clear this Gate.
[Entering the Gate.]
We entered. It felt like forcing open a door against resistance.
Damp, humid air greeted us.
"Haah, long time since I felt this."
Memories surfaced of the Dungeon where I was reborn as a monster.
Slowly growing stronger by eating cockroaches.
That past felt ancient now.
My human life seemed like someone else's story.
Keeeeeeek.
Goblin shrieks echoed from deeper within the caves.
Meaningless animal cries.
"Been a while since I ate goblins. Let's move."
Leading Seol-hwa, I ventured into the cave depths.
[F-Rank Dungeon Goblin Caves cleared.]
[Consume the Core to subjugate the Dungeon.]
