Chapter Title: Sow Maker
-------------------------------------
Jeong Yoo-shin scratched his head.
'What's going on?'
Right in front of his eyes…
The clan leaders, who had flocked in since morning, were bowing their heads.
Seeing them standing at perfect attention, it seemed like they were here to ask a really difficult favor.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
""N-No!""
The clan leaders answered loudly in unison.
They didn’t need help with anything?
His curiosity grew even more.
Granny, the leader of Grandma's Love Clan, stepped forward and politely handed over a thick stack of documents.
"What’s this?"
"It is a report on the formation and the operation plan of an intelligence-gathering organization!"
Jeong Yoo-shin skimmed through the documents.
From a format where clan leaders reported directly by mouth…
To a plan to form a special organization that solely gathered information.
There was also text written about managing the clan alliance's funds a little more efficiently.
Jeong Yoo-shin put the documents on the table and looked at the clan leaders.
It was fascinating for him because it felt like they were all growing together.
"Thank you."
At the words of gratitude, the clan leaders made awestruck expressions.
"N-No! We’re sorry for not being of help to you until now, Skar-nim!"
Jeong Yoo-shin gave them a bitter smile.
'But I’ve already received a lot of help from you guys, though.'
Afterward, the clan leaders revealed their aspirations in voices full of spirit and returned.
"Then we’ll be taking our leave first, Boss!"
Before leaving the inn, the clan leaders also gave their farewell to the middle-aged Skar with utmost politeness.
"..."
Jeong Yoo-shin, who had been silent for a moment, turned his head and looked at the middle-aged Skar.
He had heard that the man had been visiting the small and medium-sized clan alliance lately.
The middle-aged Skar must have definitely done something.
"What did you do? They all became like stiff privates?"
The mystic guy asked.
"Isn't it good? It's better than an ungrateful junior trying to walk all over their senior, right?"
"That's true."
The big-breasted Skar and the mystic guy started chatting in low voices.
The middle-aged Skar cleared his throat.
"Ahem! Handsome Skar, they thought of you too comfortably, so I said a few words to them. You’re their representative. It was just a demand to show you the minimum respect since you’re not their worker."
The mystic guy nodded.
"First Brother did well. Even if you tell them to act comfortably, they shouldn't actually act too comfortably."
"But ‘Boss’…? It somehow seems to fit you perfectly."
The middle-aged Skar gave TS Skar a bitter smile.
"I got a strange nickname."
It was closer to a nickname than a title, but it didn’t give off a bad feeling because he knew with what kind of eyes they were looking at him with.
The mystic guy stroked his chin.
"Sssss. Should I also stop trying to come up with a name?"
The big-breasted Skar shrugged.
"Why? I already thought of a name for me, though?"
"What is it?"
"Siskar. How is it? It's comfortable and easy to remember, right?"
"Not bad."
The two chatted in low voices again.
Jeong Yoo-shin read the documents the clan leaders had left behind.
The mystic guy peeked over his shoulder.
"Youngest, is there anything interesting written in there?"
"Nothing much. The number of new explorers has increased. Hmm?"
Jeong Yoo-shin's eyes stopped at one particular detail in the documents.
"It says that retired explorers and skilled people from the outside have been coming to the city in large numbers."
Jeong Yoo-shin fell into thought for a moment.
'The world outside the city, huh?'
The big-breasted Skar grinned and looked at Jeong Yoo-shin.
"You haven't been outside the city, have you?"
"Right? I've been here ever since. For one year."
He had no intention of going anywhere else.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was safe to say he had no interest in the outside world.
In the past, he couldn't afford to go out, and until a few months ago, he was apathetic to it.
But recently, he had become curious about it.
To be more precise…
He was very curious about the Skars' pasts. They had talked about their stories before their transfer while drinking, but they hadn't mentioned their stories after the transfer at all.
The 'Skars', noticing Jeong Yoo-shin's gaze, made bitter smiles.
The big-breasted Skar opened her mouth.
"Youngest, do you really want to hear about it?"
"Honestly, I'm curious. But if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. I don't want to dig up someone else's painful past."
Words full of consideration. The 'Skars' looked at Jeong Yoo-shin with warm eyes.
Siskar smiled and beat her chest.
"I guess I can at least tell you about my abilities. I have the ability to copy imprints."
Imprint Copy?
"The ability to copy the opponent's imprint and use it."
Jeong Yoo-shin's eyes widened.
"Ah."
Now he understood.
Why the big-breasted Skar had such extensive knowledge about imprints.
"Still, there is a downside. If the opponent doesn't have an imprint, I can't use my ability. Moreover, the ability of the 'copied' imprint disappears after a certain period of time."
Jeong Yoo-shin stroked his chin.
It was still a cheat.
If she met a person with a strong imprint, she just had to copy that person's imprint.
What if she met several adversaries with cheat imprints?
The big-breasted Skar's ability would increase exponentially.
'It's quite terrifying.'
Does she supplement imprint operation and combat ability with her own senses?
That might be why she's even scarier.
Jeong Yoo-shin looked at the wolf guy.
The wolf guy thought for a moment and opened his mouth.
"I have the Behemoth imprint."
"...?"
‘What’s a Behemoth?’
He just looks like a hairy wolf beast-person.
"It's a beast called a divine beast from ancient legends, but this is an imprint that's a bit complicated to explain. Instead of leveling up, I eat to permanently strengthen my body and mana."
It was hard to understand.
"Do you have another imprint?"
"No. It's one of the characteristics of the Behemoth imprint. Should I say I unlock Behemoth's abilities one by one as I gradually get stronger? In the end, it all goes towards strengthening the imprint."
"Is the reason you eat delicious food to get stronger?"
The wolf guy shook his head.
"No. It's purely my taste. If I'm going to eat anyway, it's better to eat delicious food. I can only strengthen my power with 'monster' meat. But except for a few special cases, 'monster' meat isn't that delicious."
Jeong Yoo-shin closed his mouth.
They all had cheat imprints without exception.
'I shouldn't have asked.'
It just made his stomach ache.
The mystic guy laughed gloomily.
"Kuhuhu. Is it my turn now?"
"No. You don't have to."
The mystic guy raised his voice.
"Why?!"
"You're a mage, right? Imprint abilities are important, but isn't magic more important?"
The mages he had seen so far were like that too.
They had unique imprints, but they mainly used magic.
"Still, won't you listen a bit?"
Jeong Yoo-shin stared blankly at the mystic guy.
'His shoulders are raised above his head.'
How much did he want to brag that his lips were even twitching?
At that time…
Clatter.
The inn door opened, and a single elf opened the door and came in.
He recognized her at a glance.
The huge bow slung over her back…
One of the Sisterhood of the Wooden Heart, famous as the elite archers of the Elf Kingdom.
The elf woman with neat and pure beauty swept back her long hair and looked at the barbarians.
Every single one of them exuded an unusual atmosphere.
"Skar? Are you here?"
At the elf's question, the mystic guy shot up from his seat.
"Yes, were you looking for me?"
The elf woman tilted her head.
"You’re different from what I heard."
"What?"
"I heard you had a beauty more beautiful than ours..."
The elf woman looked at the TS Skar.
"By any chance, are you Skar? Did you receive a TS imprint?"
"No. I’m Siskar."
"Is that so?"
The elf woman turned her head and looked at the handsome middle-aged man.
The middle-aged Skar shook his head and pointed at Jeong Yoo-shin.
"No. It seems you’re looking for the youngest."
Jeong Yoo-shin stood up.
"What’s the matter?"
"It is a summons from the Queen-nim. Please accompany me to the inner castle."
So suddenly?
'Is something happening that I don't know about?'
A strange sense of anxiety slowly crept up his spine.
He hoped it wasn't a big deal.
The mystic guy interjected.
"I'm going too."
The elf woman frowned.
"The only person the Queen-nim called is Skar."
"Second Brother is a trustworthy person. Since he’s no different from Skar's brother, please allow him to accompany you. At least it wouldn't be bad to ask Queen-nim, right?"
The elf woman thought deeply and then turned around.
"Let's go together for now. However, if the Queen-nim disapproves, that mage cannot enter."
"Good."
The mystic guy exchanged glances with the 'Skars'.
'Thoroughly grasp even their inner thoughts. Help Skar so he doesn't get swept up in strange matters.'
'Just trust me.'
Second Brother winked and put his arm around Jeong Yoo-shin's shoulder.
"Let's go, Youngest."
"Let's."
Jeong Yoo-shin and the mystic headed to the inner castle in the central area with the elf woman.
The streets were orderly.
Because the elf army was guarding the entrance to the labyrinth, the remaining labyrinth guards stabilized the streets.
They walked for a long time and reached the front of the inner castle.
Around the inner castle gates, the knight order and elf soldiers were guarding the area together.
It was a gloomy gray castle.
Jeong Yoo-shin and the mystic silently looked at the building visible between the castle gates.
'That place is…'
The place where the head of the family once lived.
"Youngest, your expression has stiffened."
"I was thinking of the head of the family lurking in the abyss. I wonder when he’ll pop out."
The mystic guy opened his eyes wide.
"Huh?! You said you were in your first year? You already found out that much?"
"I found out while getting involved with the Labyrinth Council."
It was a truth he didn't really want to know.
Actually, there was something else he wanted to know.
The hidden story of the other 'Skars'.
To be more precise…
What happens in the future?
If he knew, couldn't he prepare for it?
The mystic guy let out a deep sigh and looked up at the sky.
"Haa. Youngest, there’s a reason we’re acting carefully. You’re drawing a completely different trajectory of life than us. Even if we teach you the 'truth' we know, you shouldn't think that it’ll happen exactly like that. You also shouldn't get bewitched by it and neglect the people around you."
"..."
The mystic guy was unusually spitting out serious words. Jeong Yoo-shin kept his silence and fell into deep thought.
"I'll tell you when the time’s right, so just wait a bit."
"I understand."
'He's dependable.'
As he thought this inwardly and waited a moment, the elf woman came out again.
"She said that the mage can come in too."
The guy smiled brightly.
"Hehe. To get to see Queen-nim up close, I’m truly delighted."
The elf woman's gaze turned cold for a moment.
"Do not do anything foolish."
"Yep!"
The mystic guy saluted slyly.
Seeing that, Jeong Yoo-shin tilted his head.
'Or maybe not?'
Wouldn't it have been more dependable to be accompanied by First Brother instead?
The two followed the elf's guidance and entered the inner castle.
Jeong Yoo-shin looked around the inner castle as he walked down the hallway.
Even though it was definitely spring outside…
The inside of the inner castle was dark and full of moisture.
Various valuables and statues lined the hallway.
After looking around for a long time and climbing up the stairs, they reached the front of a large door.
"You may go in."
The elf stopped in front of the door, perhaps having no intention of going further in.
"Thank you."
The elf woman gave Jeong Yoo-shin a faint smile.
"It was naturally something I had to do."
This time, the mystic guy bowed his head with a serious expression.
"I thank you as well."
"Yes."
With a curt reply, the elf woman turned around and walked away.
The mystic guy opened and closed his mouth, then slumped his shoulders.
"Dirty looks-biased elf."
"..."
Jeong Yoo-shin patted the mystic guy's shoulder once and opened the door.
Creeeeak.
A huge hall spread out before his eyes.
Female elves armed with spears and bows exuded a strict aura as they looked at Jeong Yoo-shin and the mystic guy.
'I see why they let us in so easily.'
At the edge of the hall…
Elf Queen Ellasein sat with her legs crossed on a chair made of wood.
Jeong Yoo-shin and the mystic slowly approached Ellasein.
Ellasein looked at Jeong Yoo-shin and smiled softly.
"We meet again."
"Yes."
"The reason I called you here is none other than because I have a few things to discuss with you."
"I see."
"I heard that you helped the Empire's hero stop the invasion of an Outer God on the 20th floor. Could you tell me the detailed story?"
As expected.
Should he say it was fitting for someone who ran a country?
Since it was a big incident, she must want to double-check if there was anything she missed and establish a plan to cope with what will happen in the labyrinth in the future.
"I’ll gladly tell you."
"Come closer."
The moment Jeong Yoo-shin was about to take a step forward…
The mystic guy tilted his head.
"Hmm?"
Jeong Yoo-shin turned his head.
"What’s up?"
The mystic guy's face crumpled fiercely.
"Oh fuck! Youngest, we have to get out of here quickly!"
"What does that...?"
Jeong Yoo-shin stopped talking and closed his mouth.
Thump.
Something surged up from within his stomach.
It was a familiar feeling.
'Fuck.'
The mystic guy, perhaps quite panicked too, grabbed Jeong Yoo-shin's hand.
"Hey! Hurry!"
"A-Alright!"
Elf Queen Ellasein, perhaps having sensed something too, frowned.
"How insolent, mage. To suddenly interrupt..."
"Ah! We have to leave! Ladies, please leave quickly!"
The mystic guy raised his voice and cried out.
"Kuuuuuk!"
Jeong Yoo-shin dropped to the floor right there.
He couldn't keep his wits about him.
The lustful energy that had been suppressed up until now became a tidal wave and instantly surged up to his heart.
"Y-Youngest! Try to hold it in!"
"Ah... Sorry."
It was no use. Uncontrollable.
Purple lustful energy exploded from Jeong Yoo-shin's body.
Booooooooooom!!!
A huge purple wave burst out from Jeong Yoo-shin's body and swept over the female elves who were valiantly guarding the hall.
"Kyaaaaaah!!!"
"Wh-What is this...?!"
The flustered elf women shouted.
An elf woman wearing plate armor urgently raised her head.
"Queen-nim!"
The Elf Queen looked at Jeong Yoo-shin with surprised eyes and then lowered her head.
Her baby-making room had been throbbing for a while now.
"Ah."
A purple lust sigil appeared over her lower abdomen.
A bizarre heat gradually rose from her uterus.
The Elf Queen raised her head and looked around.
The royal guards protecting her were all women.
Proud female warriors who didn’t yield to any hard training or rough missions.
But they all fell into panic while closing their legs with expressions of not knowing what was going on.
"Q… Queen-nim!"
The captain of the royal guards, who was hurriedly approaching her, fell to her knees.
"Nghat...?!"
A cute moan came out of the royal guard captain's mouth.
Starting with the royal guard captain, the royal guards standing in the hall fell to their knees one by one.
"M...My body’s h-hot."
"I...I don't know this kind of feeeeling."
"A s-strange pattern on my belly... Hnnnnng!"
The mystic staggered back.
He had anticipated every other move, but he genuinely didn't expect this.
"The y...youngest is a sow maker!"
In the inner castle hall full of lustful energy and moans…
Only the mystic's voice echoed loudly.

T/N - Sorry about missing yesterday’s update. I had some personal matters I needed to attend to. Here’s the chapter I missed yesterday along with the chapter meant for today. Enjoy! (3/30/26)
Oh wow! We got a lust terrorist over here. Bringing a lust bomb right in front of the Elf Queen. Suddenly, the MC’s harem got a whole lot more elf women. 😂
Also, poor mage Skar. Always the butt of the jokes. But the fact that he’s only 2nd to middle-aged Skar despite the absolute bonkers imprints of Siskar and the wolf guy shows just how powerful he is. I’m especially impressed with the Behemoth imprint as it sounds like it prevents the wolf guy from getting any more imprints. And from the sounds of it, Behemoth imprint is already pretty damn OP, so it’s actually an upside considering just how random imprints can be.
