Episode 5: The Subway Station Without a Last Train
Episode 5: The Subway Station Without a Last Train
An escalator leading underground lay before us.
Strong demonic energy was radiating from below.
I looked down before stepping onto the escalator, but it stretched on endlessly.
For one thing, deck-building roguelike games don't lie with their panels.
If it said it was a resting area, it would truly be a space for resting.
"I'll go first."
Still, just in case, I stepped on it first.
As I boarded the escalator, the steps suddenly widened significantly.
It was wide enough for both of us to lie down and sleep.
"Phew."
Once I was sure it was safe, a sigh of relief finally escaped me.
"What do we do now?"
I asked Yu-ri, who was tidying up her equipment.
"This is a resting area, so you can rest comfortably. Strangely enough, places designated as resting areas are always safe."
It was only like that because it was a game system, but I didn't bother telling Yu-ri that.
Even if it's a game to me, this place is her world.
[Rest]
[Meal and Maintenance]
As I sighed in relief at Yu-ri's words, the resting area options appeared.
Rest was literally just resting, and meals were a system where buffs were applied depending on the type of food.
"We should definitely ask Seo-jun for extra compensation when we get back. He clearly said it was beginner difficulty, but this is at least advanced or higher."
Seo-jun seemed to be another member of the Exorcism Office.
The fact that he's a man makes me a bit uneasy.
Aren't male companions the most dangerous thing in an erotic game?
"Where is Seo-jun and what is he doing?"
"The boss told him to find more useful requests, but he's probably just playing games and slacking off. He doesn't have any spiritual power, so he can't participate in combat."
Hmm.
Hearing that made me even more uneasy.
A loser-style male companion with no abilities.
He's perfect for being the harem protagonist of a male-oriented erotic game.
I needed to be careful, as he might have set some traps.
But for now, rest came first.
Once I relaxed, thinking it was a safe place, I started to get sleepy.
"Go to sleep, Sajang-nim. I'll sleep too. As I said earlier, resting areas are absolutely safe."
As soon as I heard that, I drifted off to sleep.
A while later, I opened my eyes feeling completely refreshed and recovered.
Even though I only slept for a short while in a dungeon full of evil spirits, and on a moving escalator at that, my body was fully recovered.
Anyway, games are designed with mechanisms so that the user can clear them.
Thinking that way, it didn't feel completely hopeless.
"Are you awake?"
Yu-ri had woken up first and was tidying up her talismans.
Here, you could not only rest but also maintain your equipment.
Types who use talismans like Yu-ri could replenish their talismans if they had blank paper.
Not only that, but she had prepared a simple meal.
"A mess kit? Where did you get this?"
"Sajang-nim, you were the one who told me to make sure to pack this. You said that even if we're in a dungeon, we need to eat a hearty meal. You said it's all for the sake of eating well."
Thank you, past me.
It wasn't a feast, just disposable side dishes and instant rice heated in a mess kit, but that alone made me feel happy.
<Maximum HP increases by 2 in this dungeon.>
Plus, the buff was quite good.
My HP is only 8.
Since it decreases by 1 each time I get attacked, this is a significant increase.
"It really is infinite."
A considerable amount of time had passed, but the escalator didn't end.
And only after finishing the entire meal did a new message appear.
[End Rest]
When I selected 'End', the escalator gradually shrank, and the floor began to appear.
"Let's do our best and keep going, Sajang-nim!"
Yu-ri cheered me on with a bright voice.
It was hard to believe she was the same woman who, just a while ago, had been stripped naked by evil spirits and was on the verge of being violated.
"How many of these resting areas are there?"
"Hmm, usually about two or three times? Since it's a beginner dungeon, there's probably about that many."
It seemed generous, but considering the high combat difficulty, it was also quite tight.
Thud.
As we stepped off the escalator, it stopped, and a 'No Entry' sign appeared.
<Exploration Progress: 13%>
As we followed the guide line down the hallway again, a vending machine appeared.
<Shop: Unmanned Vending Machine>
"Look at this, Sajang-nim. All the buttons are lit up. It looks like we can get things for free."
As Yu-ri said, the vending machine's drink selection buttons were lit up as if money had been inserted.
Although it was a shop, it seemed to be a type of event panel.
<Tutorial: The shop sells items that help with exploring the dungeon. Items obtained in the dungeon disappear when the dungeon disappears, so don't save them—use them freely.>
It meant the shop items were also part of the Anomaly.
I first examined the items.
Snacks and drinks restored HP and spiritual power, and there were also stimulants that restored mental strength.
And there were the Anomaly tools mentioned in the tutorial.
<Station Attendant Whistle: Stops the actions of passenger-type Anomalies for one turn.>
<Junk Flashlight: Unknown use. It's broken, but it seems like it will turn on exactly once.>
Both are items for defending against monster patterns.
I searched thoroughly to see if there were any traps.
It was very unsettling that it was a shop but had no prices.
But I couldn't ignore items that were clearly meant for boss patterns.
I eventually pressed the buttons.
Clunk.
Both the junk flashlight and the whistle came out.
As I pulled them out one by one, the lights on the buttons turned off, and I couldn't pull any more.
Besides that, I was able to pull a few more items for HP and spiritual power recovery.
Up until then, nothing happened.
"Let's move."
Just as my guard was starting to drop and I was about to move to the next panel...
Wooooong.
A suspicious sound came from the vending machine behind me.
<Eating without paying is a crime.>
<Battle: Undetected Enemy>
"Of course."
I immediately drew my sword to prepare for defense.
Yu-ri also extended her baton.
The hallway stretched out in front and behind us, but no one appeared.
"Where is it?"
That was when it happened.
When I briefly looked away from the vending machine, numerous tentacles burst out from it and lunged at me.
"Damn it!"
I hurriedly swung my sword and cut a few strands, but the remaining tentacles instantly wrapped around my body as if they couldn't feel pain.
"Yu-ri!"
Fortunately, Yu-ri stepped back and put some distance between herself and the tentacles.
It would be the worst if both of us were caught.
At least one person needs to be free to release the other.
When she threw a flaming talisman and hit the tentacles, this time the tentacles recoiled in pain.
But that was counterproductive.
Suddenly, the vending machine opened its mouth.
Literally.
A giant mouth formed on the vending machine like a living creature, and it retracted the tentacles.
"No!"
And I, who was caught by the tentacles, was swallowed into the vending machine.
"Ugh, this is disgusting."
Once I was sucked inside, I couldn't move my body, as if I were stuck between narrow walls of flesh.
It felt like being swallowed by a snake.
The tentacles were still holding my limbs, hindering my movement, and the flesh walls surrounding my body began to undulate.
Slimy bodily fluids flowed from the flesh walls and began to coat my body.
Sssss.
Then, with an ominous sound, my clothes began to corrode.
"Fuck, not this again!"
That wasn't the end of it.
Tentacles slowly approached me from above and below.
It was already cramped, and I couldn't even dodge because the tentacles were holding my limbs.
One tentacle grabbed my neck and squeezed it slightly.
As if trying to subdue resisting prey.
"Cough, ugh."
If it seemed like I was resisting, the tentacle would choke me to induce a mild state of asphyxiation, and if I seemed to accept it quietly, it would loosen its grip to ensure I didn't die.
The tentacle that came up from below headed straight for my crotch.
It rubbed gently against my pussy slit over the underwear that hadn't melted yet, and finally, when even the underwear melted away, a thin, thread-like tentacle appeared and grabbed my clitoris, squeezing it tight.
"Eek! Don't pull! You'll break it if you pull like that!"
I immediately regretted opening my mouth.
The tentacle deliberately pulled on my clitoris to make me moan in pain, and as soon as my mouth opened, a new tentacle thrust into my mouth as if it had been waiting.
"Ugh! Uph!"
The tentacle burrowed into my throat without hesitation, and the tentacle that had been teasingly rubbing my pussy slit from below also began to enter my pussy hole.
I thought about biting the tentacle with all my might, but it was extremely hard, and I was worried that if I did something stupid and angered it, I would be subjected to even more painful things.
This tentacle was on a different level from what I had experienced with the station attendant's baton earlier.
It tried to go endlessly deep inside my body, and after going deep, it fixed me onto the tentacle.
In that state, the tentacles began to piston, enjoying my holes.
The feeling of slimy, unpleasant fluid being spread over my holes and the squirming movement inside my body was the worst.
It should have been the worst, but my body seemed to feel it differently.
"Ughhh..."
My moans, which had been full of pain, began to change into something erotic little by little.
Unlike the baton, which was just a simple stick, the tentacles found and stimulated places inside my body—weak and sensitive parts, what you call erogenous zones.
It wasn't just an erotic feeling; it was genuinely pouring pleasure into me.
Then, the movement of the tentacles began to speed up.
It was painful, but an instinctive anxiety that something was coming washed over me.
I barely opened my eyes, which had been closing due to the pleasure, and saw that the middle of the upper tentacle was bulging.
It was gradually coming down.
The tentacle's semen.
The same went for the tentacle violating my pussy.
I must not accept that.
But the tentacle squeezed my neck as if it had already read my thoughts.
"Ugh!"
This time, I felt such great pain that it felt like my neck was about to break.
It was a very short moment, but I realized that this tentacle could kill me at any time.
The tentacle's semen was coming down.
It was also approaching my crotch.
I squeezed my eyes shut in a final act of resistance.
As if thinking that would allow me to escape this nightmare.
"Ughhh!"
But fishy-smelling semen began to pour into my mouth.
An enormous amount.
The semen that couldn't fit into my esophagus overflowed and even backflowed into my nose.
My crotch was just as painful.
A massive amount of semen, enough to make my lower abdomen bulge, began to enter my pussy.
It was when I was about to lose consciousness from the feeling of fullness filling my body and the pain that made it impossible to think straight.
Boom!
Along with a loud explosion, I heard Yu-ri's voice.
"...nim!"
Yu-ri...
"Sajang-nim!"
The tentacle that was holding my wrist was severed, and Yu-ri grabbed my wrist.
And she pulled me out.
