Welcome! (3)

Slimes were already in abundance. I summoned Harsus and needed information regarding the monster unlocked through 'Magic Stone Summoning': the Ghoul. 'Considering how Harsus acts, they might be surprisingly diligent.' Even if they weren't, the Ghouls' labor was essential for gathering timber. While the system handled labor inside the dungeon, the task of sourcing materials fell to the Ghouls. So, it was time for a gacha. I needed to increase my military strength; I needed a force to farm materials instead of Harsus, who was busy guarding Mei.

'I’d love to summon up to the limit with Slime Slot 8, but...' If I had enough magic stones, I’d pull the gacha hundreds of times a day—that’s just human nature. But limiting the summons to ten times? That was a system error. It was definitely an error. Even right now, I could summon two more and then ten slimes on top of that.

"...Does the limit increase if I expand the dungeon?"

If so, I’d accept it. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠It was probably the System’s way of curbing gambling addiction. A one-day delay in expansion wouldn't kill anyone. 'In that case, I’ll go for quality today.' The target was five Ghouls. 'Five-pull gacha, here I go.' Without hesitation, I used the same hand that had touched Mei’s breasts to summon the five Ghouls.

"No way, a system error gave me five High Ghouls!!"

"Good. I’ll have to kill those breasts." I intentionally raised my voice. From the magic circle, gray-skinned Ghouls crawled out slowly, emitting a 'grrr' sound.

"...Harsus is going to have friends soon, isn't he?" I didn't know how hard it would be to level them up, but the fact that evolution only required consuming a single human corpse was a huge merit. 'Then what about the High Ghoul?'

'Does it change depending on what they consume?' Since they ate a human, I wondered if they would eat a different race next time. An Elf Ghoul, an Orc Ghoul, or a Slime Ghoul. 'I'll just feed them whatever.' I immediately organized the five Ghouls into a squad with Harsus as their leader.

"Now, go get me some timber."

Grrr. The Ghouls bared their teeth and rebelled, but Harsus slowly approached and smacked them in the head. Classic Harsus.

"Focus on getting timber, and if you see any corpses, bring them back. Don't eat them outside; you can eat them inside the cave. If you see humans or anyone similar, return to the dungeon immediately and head to your designated spots. Got it?"

Grrr. The Ghouls followed Harsus's command and exited the cave. Ghouls outside, Lime above, Ryun and the Slimes behind. Having issued orders in three directions, it was time for me to focus on my own task. 'My fists are itching.' It was only five pulls, but I hated those breasts for not even giving me a ★☆.

Clank. I opened the prison door.

Mei was silent. She was so terrified that she couldn't properly look at her captor, but from the day she spent pretending to be unconscious, she realized this opponent was an anomaly. 'Why is a monster that belongs in a top-30 dungeon here?!' An Orc. Each one was a natural-born fighter, and after their coming-of-age ceremony, they possessed combat power equal to a human knight. But this pot-bellied Orc far exceeded the level of any ordinary knight; he was a powerhouse her former Silver-rank mercenary skills couldn't touch.

'Just kill me! Please, just kill me!' Mei swallowed her tears. She had endured being taken by men while drunk during her time in the mercenary group, but yesterday's memory was the worst of her life—one she wanted to erase forever. But it was impossible to forget. To be taken from behind, not by a man, but by a monster. 'He’s insane...' But that’s why he was a monster. Mei was terrified of this cave—this place that had to be called a dungeon—where common sense was destroyed.

Pahuu, pahuu.

"......!"

She heard breathing. Mei went silent again, still as a mouse. The footsteps echoing through the ground were filled with rage.

Click! Clatter. The lock opened, and Mei looked for a chance to counterattack. Her mana had recovered somewhat; if she was lucky, she might be able to stab the Orc in the eye and run. 'I only have one chance.' Mei sharpened her hand. She gathered mana in a spot the Orc wouldn't see.

Squish.

And then, the Orc shoved his member into her rear without hesitation.

"Haaah?!"

Mei screamed involuntarily at the burning sensation in her rear, and her heart sank as she realized the Orc knew she had regained consciousness. "Heh, pretending is useless. I knew you were awake when I shoved it in."

Clank!

With his member still inside, the Orc grabbed her folded legs and pulled. Mei’s body was laid flat, her legs spread in a V-shape, and she trembled. "Ugh, ugh, ah...!"

The Orc was positioned as if he were having anal sex. The feeling of his bulging belly touching her thighs was filthy, but the arm muscles wrapping around her calves were far thicker than the village chief's. "P-please, stop...! I'll do whatever you say...!"

"You'll do whatever I say?" The Orc showed interest. Mei nodded frantically. Though she had retired long ago, her instincts as a former mercenary remained. Life was more important than anything.

"Yes! I'll do whatever you say! So please, just let me go...! *Sob!*" Mei begged, tears streaming down her face. But the Orc lowered his arms and grabbed her pelvis. "Then, that's an order. Spread yourself open."

"......!"

The Orc poked her clitoris with his index finger. Mei felt a surge of rage at the humiliating act, but the opponent was a powerhouse who held her life in his hands. "W-wait...! How can you do this to a human...! I-I'll really do anything else! So please!"

Mei’s lips trembled. The Orc seemed to be contemplating, spending time with only the glans inserted into her anus. "You said you'd do anything." The Orc swayed his hips back and forth, stimulating Mei. The movement felt like foreplay, teasing her and making her heat up. It was far better than the village chief, who only knew how to thrust and finish. 'Does it feel good?'

Mei’s heart sank again. What was she thinking while being taken by a monster? "Then let's do this."

Squish. The Orc pulled his member out. His hard, unspent member popped out of her anus with a 'pop' sound.

"......*Gulp.*"

Mei swallowed hard. The mercenary captain who took her virginity, the nameless father who got her drunk and planted Mary’s seed before running away, the village chief who demanded her body in exchange for letting her settle—they were all smaller than the monster in front of her. 'If he thrusts into my front... I'll surely die.'

She would die of pleasure. If she excluded the fact that he was a monster and thought of him as a human, she might even want to spread her legs and be taken. 'No...! He’s a monster!' It would be better to be taken by a beast. Mei prostrated herself toward the Orc, who was even standing up. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠"I-I'll do whatever you want! So please...."

"I intend to take a human. A human who is alive and sane." The Orc looked down at Mei, swaying his member back and forth. Tap, tap, tap. "But you refuse to be taken by me. Fine, then is there someone else who can take your place in this prison?"

The Orc asked casually. Mei realized this situation was her lifeline and began to wag her tongue. "T-there’s a slash-and-burn village about two hours from here! It’s a remote place where even the Virgo Barony’s soldiers don't visit, and they don't even come to collect taxes! There are about 50 people living there!"

"......."

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

The Orc stared down at Mei for a long time. Then, he snatched the pointed hat from her. "50 people. That’s enough. I’ve gained enough."

"Yes...?"

"I don't care about the Virgo Barony or whatever. Now, do as I say." The Orc grabbed Mei’s hair and lifted her. Squatting down, he looked at Mei and licked his lips with his tongue. "Spread your legs and turn around."

Mei realized it. The monster was a creature that could not be understood by common sense. ".......*Sob!*"

So Mei turned her body and spread her legs. If it was a foregone conclusion, she had to at least save her life. "*Hic, sob...!*" In Mei’s eyes, she saw the unconscious blonde woman trapped in the next cell. Mei desperately wanted to faint forever, just like that woman.

Thrust. Her anus was breached again. Mei’s world turned completely white. Thump, thump, thump.

"Aaaah...!"

Mei had to find comfort in the fact that she had protected her life and her front.
