Chapter Title: It Tasted Purple!
--------------------------------------
Jeong Yoo-shin's eyes trembled violently.
It was because the name of the imprint Mion had whispered to him was so shocking.
"R-Really?"
"Yes. It's a Half-Incubus imprint."
Crazy.
Incubus.
A type of demon that sucked people's vitality, just like a succubus, only of a different gender.
In short, a lust demon.
He had suffered so much because of the Female Virgin Corruption imprint, and now it was a lust demon imprint.
'No. I don't know that yet for sure.'
Jeong Yoo-shin shook his head and cleared his mind of negative thoughts.
He couldn't just apply his shallow knowledge to this other world and skip over the confirmation step.
"Isn't the Incubus imprint a monster imprint? What are its effects?"
He asked that, but Mion just made a troubled face.
"It's a 'Half'-Incubus imprint. I know that the effects of holy magic on you are halved, but I don't know the detailed characteristics of the imprint myself. This is my first time seeing a Half-Incubus imprint..."
"I see."
"Should I look into it for you?"
Jeong Yoo-shin shook his head.
"No. I can't trouble you any further, Priestess Mion-nim."
She seemed to be going through a lot these days, and he didn't want to burden her any further.
Besides, there was no need to use an ox-slaughtering knife to catch a chicken.
Meaning, it was only right for him to ask someone from the Eastern District about monsters.
One person came to Jeong Yoo-shin’s mind.
The dark elf Vivian.
Since she had probably spent a long time in the Eastern District, she would know the characteristics of a half-incubus.
He decided to put the Half-Incubus imprint aside for now.
He faced Mion.
"Priestess Mion-nim."
"Yes."
Jeong Yoo-shin bowed his head deeply.
"Thank you once again. If it hadn't been for your scroll, it would have been difficult for me to survive."
"Is that so? Was the fight that difficult?"
"Yes."
Jeong Yoo-shin told her about what had happened on the 10th floor.
Mion listened quietly.
When the story was over, Mion gently took Jeong Yoo-shin's hand.
"You're amazing."
"I'm not so sure. How great a monster the Lich Prince is, what the other world is, and why the outer gods are interested in me. And people's hearts too."
A confession that had slipped out unconsciously.
Jeong Yoo-shin felt embarrassed after saying it.
To sound so weak…
Mion gave him a bitter smile.
"People's hearts... People's hearts are also a labyrinth."
Jeong Yoo-shin's eyes widened as he looked at Mion.
It was because Mion had accurately pinpointed his thoughts.
A person's heart is also a labyrinth.
It must be an anguish that many inevitably experience because people of various races and with various desires come and go in Labyrinth City.
Jeong Yoo-shin looked at Mion and thought for a moment.
The desire to invite Mion to his party welled up inside him.
With her powerful holy magic as a high priestess, wouldn't they be able to go to the deep parts of the labyrinth easily?
But he couldn't.
To try to take a retired explorer into his own party…
There was a limit to selfishness.
If Mion entered the labyrinth and got a terrible imprint, he wouldn’t be able to bear the guilt.
Mion raised her hand and stroked Jeong Yoo-shin's hair.
"Skar-nim, you did very well."
"..."
What had he done well?
He didn't know.
But Mion's gentle touch made him feel at ease. Did the comfort of a like-minded person have a special healing effect?
"..."
Jeong Yoo-shin closed his eyes and entrusted himself to Mion's stroking.
'S-So embarrassing.'
Jeong Yoo-shin couldn't see it, but Mion's face was as red as a carrot.
Up until now, the slutty actions she had taken were more like a compulsion from the goddess.
But after giving Skar-nim her power, the said goddess had now fallen into a deep sleep.
She no longer spoke in Mion’s head, nor did she respond to Mion’s call.
Mion was even more embarrassed now because she was on her own.
But she didn't want to see Skar-nim's tired face.
Mion gently stroked Jeong Yoo-shin's matted hair.
It was also very dusty.
Had his time in the labyrinth been that tough?
She felt sorry for him.
What was he entering the labyrinth for?
Mion was curious, but she didn't ask. Without the goddess's help, she was just a coward.
Since forming a temporary alliance with Karin, the latter had often told her stories about Skar-nim.
Recently, she had heard that he had killed a villainous man named Saul. And the news that he hadn’t killed all of Saul's subordinates, but had released them and guided them to a path of rehabilitation instead had also spread.
'As expected.'
A kind person.
She had felt it from the first time she saw him.
Usually, when people receive an imprint, their disposition also changes accordingly.
But Skar-nim was still the same.
That fact was more reassuring to Mion than anything else.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Jeong Yoo-shin and Mion, who had been half-clinging to each other, quickly moved apart.
"Mion, are you in your room?"
"B-Brother?"
Mion stood up from her seat.
Creeak.
When she opened the door, a man with a similar appearance to Mion was standing there.
Cain.
A doting brother and the Knight Commander of Labyrinth City.
Cain's eyes widened when he saw Jeong Yoo-shin.
"Barbarian? What’s this crazy bastard doing here in the middle of the night?!"
"C-Calm down. Skar-nim came here to have his imprint checked."
"Skar?"
At Mion's answer, Cain's eyes widened as he looked at Jeong Yoo-shin.
"Your face has changed a bit."
Jeong Yoo-shin shrugged.
"I've gotten a bit more handsome."
"Did you check the imprint?"
"Yes."
"What kind of imprint is it?"
"Priestess Mion-nim said it's a Half-Incubus imprint."
"You crazy bastard. You got an Incubus imprint on top of that face? Don't you dare come near Mion from now on."
Jeong Yoo-shin made an awkward face and scratched the back of his head.
"Do you think this is a joke?"
"No, sir."
By the way, how strong was Cain?
He was curious about how strong the Knight Commander of Labyrinth City was.
Cain clicked his tongue and said.
"Look at those eyes. My master was raising a dangerous one. Tsk."
Jeong Yoo-shin heard something he was glad to hear.
Ashur.
Was the stalker elf swordmaster doing well?
"How is Master Ashur doing?"
"He's living it up in the capital of the Elven Kingdom."
"Really?"
"He's a high noble, isn't he?"
When would he be able to see him again?
Would he quietly visit him with the same face he had seen before when he was old and about to die?
Of course, that was if he was still alive by then.
"But what brings you here?"
At Jeong Yoo-shin's question, Cain made a dumbfounded face.
"Anyone would think you came to see me. That should be my line. If you're done here, then get out."
"Has the labyrinth closure order been lifted?"
As Jeong Yoo-shin clung to him like a leech, Cain let out a deep sigh.
"Yes. It's a decision the Explorer's Guild made after a meeting. It's not like the portals turned black or strange creatures came out like the last Eldritch Wave. The earthquake also ended quickly. There's nothing for the knights to do."
Is that so?
The fact that Cain was wandering around meant that the knights' work was over.
It was the same as saying that Labyrinth City would soon return to normal.
Cain immediately noticed what Jeong Yoo-shin was about to say and waved his hand.
"The Explorer's Guild will announce the details. Wait a little."
"I understand. Then I'll be on my way."
Jeong Yoo-shin said his goodbyes to Mion and Cain and left the room.
He returned to his room at the temple and sat on the edge of the bed.
An empty single room.
It was a room with only a candle, a desk, and a wardrobe.
His luggage was placed in a corner, as Delia had brought it here.
Jeong Yoo-shin laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Exhausted from his long adventure in the labyrinth, he immediately fell fast asleep.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"Hut?!"
Jeong Yoo-shin shot up from his bed.
An intense feeling of omnipotence enveloped his entire body.
He didn't have a dream this time, but he felt it instinctively.
'I've leveled up.'
That wasn't all.
His dick was also hard.
Jeong Yoo-shin frowned.
It did get hard every morning, but it had never been this hard before, as if its life depended on it.
He felt grimy from falling asleep without washing.
He didn't really have any clothes to change into either.
'I need to wash.'
Thinking of stopping by the public bathhouse for the first time in a while, he just took his money and left the temple.
Delia had recently taken a liking to teaching the children at the orphanage.
She had come in as a substitute for the busy Mion, but the children's praise for her was endless.
He heard that she was cool and kind.
But the fact that she was a blond was the biggest reason for her popularity.
This was confirmed by testimony of the boys playing in the yard.
Barion was still taking care of the refugees gathered in the park.
Karin was temporarily away because of Ingrid's call.
On a quiet morning, with the summer heat gone…
Jeong Yoo-shin stopped by the market, bought some clothes to change into, and then went to the public bathhouse in the southern district.
"Skar?"
The owner of the public bathhouse recognized Jeong Yoo-shin and greeted him.
"I won't screw any holes I see, so please let me in."
The owner chuckled.
"What are you talking about? Everyone in this neighborhood knows you're a good barbarian. And you helped the residents of the southern district during the earthquake, right? It's on me. Go in for free."
Jeong Yoo-shin grinned.
"Since the owner says so, I won't refuse."
The bathhouse and the locker room were mostly filled with explorers who had returned in the morning.
Since Astaroth had taken office, the labyrinth entry cycle had changed, so many explorers went into the labyrinth at night and came out during the day.
He thought that they were probably people who had entered before the labyrinth closure order was announced.
Jeong Yoo-shin took off his sweat-soaked clothes.
When he took off his underwear…
He noticed a change.
"What?"
Jeong Yoo-shin looked down at his own dick.
It looked twice as big as usual.
What should he say here?
It had become a bit more ferocious.
That wasn't the important thing.
Things that could be either letters or symbols were carved on the surface of his dick.
The symbols and letters were glowing with a bewitching dark purple color.
"What the fuck is this dick tattoo?!"
Jeong Yoo-shin grabbed his hair and shouted.
"Let's be a little quiet."
A shaggy-haired man with a haggard expression frowned and said that. But then, he made eye contact with Jeong Yoo-shin.
The man flinched when he saw Jeong Yoo-shin's hair color.
Then his gaze went down and he saw Jeong Yoo-shin's dick.
"H-Horse dick imprint? No. It's a crazy dick monster imprint, isn't it? And a tattoo on top of that?!"
The man was in shock and babbled incoherently.
Jeong Yoo-shin looked down at his own dick and swallowed dryly.
He had no idea what had happened to his precious dick.
Could it be a curse he got from killing that Lich Prince?
'No.'
The probability of it being a curse from the Lich Prince was low.
It was because he had been buffed by Mion's holy magic back then.
Or was it because of the Half-Incubus imprint?
'That might be it.'
There was a high probability that this was due to the effect of the imprint.
He immediately thought that he had to meet Vivian.
He quickly washed himself while receiving furtive glances from people, and headed to the Eastern District.
He walked along the alley and opened the door of the magic tool shop he had visited before.
Tinkle.
The doorbell rang, and Vivian, who had been sitting at the counter, looked up.
"Skar?"
"It's been a while, Vivian."
Vivian gave Jeong Yoo-shin a captivating smile, stood up from her seat, and walked out from behind the counter.
The outline of her voluptuous body was clearly revealed in her skinny one-piece dress with a deep slit on the side of her thigh.
"Barbarian child, have you finally decided to release the restriction on me?"
"Yes. But before that…"
Vivian's expression hardened.
Was she thinking he was going to demand something else?
Jeong Yoo-shin bowed his waist.
"Thank you for your help in rebuilding the inn."
Vivian's face relaxed.
"I'm glad to be of serv...! Ah, no, it's nothing."
Vivian was speaking, but then she quickly covered her mouth.
"May I ask you one thing?"
Nod.
"Have you ever heard of a half-incubus?"
"...A half-incubus?"
Vivian asked back with a surprised expression.
"Skar, did you get a half-incubus imprint?"
"Yes. And my..."
Jeong Yoo-shin blushed and continued.
"I think a strange pattern has appeared on my dick. In purple."
Vivian tilted her head and stood up.
"Pull your pants down for a moment."
"Can't you just tell me? I just want to know if this is one of the abilities of the half-incubus imprint."
Vivian crossed her arms and fell into deep thought.
"I'm not sure just by hearing about it. Will you show it to me?"
Jeong Yoo-shin's mouth fell slightly open, dumbfounded.
"It's embarrassing."
"I showed you my embarrassing side too."
Vivian glared at Jeong Yoo-shin with a slightly flushed face.
That was right.
He had heard Vivian's most intimate confession. Not only that, but he had also seen her climax.
Jeong Yoo-shin hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
'It's just an observation.'
He decided not to give it any more thought.
He followed Vivian into a small office behind the counter and pulled down his pants.
Slosh.
His heavy dick came out as if it had been waiting.
"Hik?!"
Vivian's eyes widened, and she let out a cute scream.
"Should I move a little further away?"
"N-No! It's alright. But... I can't see well from here. I need to observe it more 'closely'."
"Do as you please."
Jeong Yoo-shin replied with a half-resigned heart.
Vivian carefully knelt in front of his dick and brought her face close to it.
"Hoo. Hoo."
Vivian's faint breath brushed past his dick.
"Kugh?!"
As his limp dick began to slowly get hard, Vivian's eyes also widened.
Once erect, his dick didn't stop and stood up stiffly.
A ferocious dick that she had never seen before in her life.
On top of that, the 'lust sigil' of the incubus carved on his dick was emitting a sinister light.
Gulp.
Vivian felt it instinctively.
If she was fucked even once by this dick, she would be a confirmed sow.
As a woman, she would be completely and irreversibly ruined.
As she sensed the abyss, a round spot on Vivian's thin lace panties began to get damp.
And then…
Before Jeong Yoo-shin could say anything…
Vivian puckered her lips while feeling both fear and excitement.
Her moist lips, as if coated with honey, lightly touched the ferocious glans.
*Mwah♥*
290 years.
The dark elf Vivian's precious first kiss, which she had kept for all those years, was with Jeong Yoo-shin's glans, and it tasted purple.
--------------------------------------
T/N - Okay, a Half-Incubus imprint. I did expect something along that line from last chapter. But what I don’t understand is why Vivian!? Mion is right there! Bah!
Anyway, be warned, things are about to get freaky next chapter, if you know what I mean. 😏
Lastly, wtf does purple taste like?! You know what, if I need to kiss a dick to know that, then I’m better off not knowing.
