The Silver Wolf Beastwoman
Shwaaak!
The female monster has disappeared. Stats have returned to normal.
You have defeated the female monster.
Agility has increased by 1.
“Whew! That’s quite a few we’ve taken down.”
They had been inside the gate for roughly three hours. During that time, they had probably killed around fifty wolves while progressing through the gate.
They occasionally ran into parties consisting only of males, forcing Shin Jiyeon to step in, but even then, Park Jihun and Briana handled ninety percent of the kills between them.
Of course, the mana stones from the monsters Shin Jiyeon defeated belonged to her. Park Jihun believed that the closer the relationship, the more strictly they should handle these matters.
Still, fifty low-grade E-rank mana stones. Once processed, that would easily exceed fifteen million won.
“The byproducts are a bit disappointing, though… Well, lower-rank gates don’t bring in that much money anyway.”
Wolf-type monsters had claws and pelts that sold well, so some people did butcher them. That could increase the profit. However, the byproducts of lower-rank monsters weren’t very useful, so demand was low and prices were cheap. In gates D-rank and below, people usually discarded byproducts unless it was something special like troll blood. The time and cost of butchering, or hiring someone to do it, simply wasn’t worth it.
“Still, from B-rank onward, they sometimes hire lower-rank hunters to handle butchering or mining the occasional minerals that appear on the map.”
“Oho…”
Before becoming a hunter, Park Jihun had shown little interest in hunters or gates except when it came to female-type monsters. Hearing about the actual ecosystem of hunters and gates felt fresh and interesting.
‘We’ve made a lot of money, and our stats have gone up quite a bit too.’
Out of all the silver wolves they had encountered so far, around twenty had been female. Because his stats were still low, every female monster he killed raised a stat by 1. Thanks to that—
Overall, his stats had risen by an average of five points each, pushing the numbers significantly higher. At this level, the average was over twenty-five—stats that met the E-rank standard. Compared to when he first awakened, he had gained nearly ten points total. If anyone heard that he had achieved this by entering only two gates—one F-rank and one E-rank—they would never believe it.
Even in an A-rank gate, you were lucky to gain five points per stat. Most people only gained one or two. A-rank gates were essentially challenges that appeared once a week. Stats only rose when someone achieved a truly special feat, consumed a rare elixir, or possessed a growth-type skill like Park Jihun’s. Even among those with stat-increasing skills, gains this rapid were almost unheard of.
In just two days, he had risen from F-rank to E-rank—an unprecedented speed. Park Jihun was not only the world’s only “Familiar Hunter,” but also the world’s greatest and fastest “Growth-type Hunter.” With the power of Alpha Male doubling his stats, he was already eyeing the D-rank threshold of an average of sixty. Combined with the stiffness effect, he moved like he had wings when facing female monsters in an E-rank gate.
“At this rate, we’ll take down the boss in no time.”
“…You’re really amazing, Sunbae. Even your stats are rising.”
Shin Jiyeon looked at him with admiration and envy. Although she was a B-rank hunter, she had little hope of raising her stats without something special. Even if she spent a fortune on elixirs or got lucky with an achievement, it would only be a one-time boost of maybe three points at most. But Park Jihun could raise his stats without limit as long as female monsters existed. Given enough time, he could even reach S-rank. As a hunter, she couldn’t help but feel envious.
‘But that also means… if I keep following Sunbae, I might get to enter A-rank gates… or even an S-rank gate if we’re really lucky…!’
Of course, as a B-rank hunter, she wouldn’t be much help there. Still, there was only one reason she wanted to enter the highest-rank gates.
‘I’ll get to see the highest-class monster girls…!!’
The highest-class monsters that appeared in A-rank and S-rank gates. She would get to see their female forms! High-ranking demons, dragons, balrogs… just the top-tier races that came to mind numbered over ten. And if Park Jihun subdued those female monster forms and had his way with them? If she got to watch? If she even got to join in and rub bodies with them?
“Ooh yeah, ooh yeah… Ah, nosebleed.”
Shin Jiyeon was so excited that blood started dripping from her nose.
“…Hey, you okay?”
“Ah, yes. Nothing hurts physically.”
“I meant mentally.”
“Hmm, that’s… well.”
“Pfft!”
Both of them burst out laughing at Shin Jiyeon’s inability to give a straight answer to whether her mind was okay.
“You know it too, huh?”
“You’re not any better, Sunbae.”
“True enough.”
They both knew they were abnormal, yet they stayed close because their tastes aligned perfectly.
“Kiiik?”
His gaze naturally drifted toward Briana. She was beautiful. Even with green skin, she was objectively pretty. Then a sudden question occurred to Park Jihun.
“Honestly, female-type monsters are pretty most of the time. There are also a lot of handsome male-type monsters.”
“Right?”
That was probably why people like him and Shin Jiyeon developed such unusual fetishes in the first place.
“Honestly, lusting after them isn’t that unusual, is it?”
It was exactly as Park Jihun said. Beautiful faces, sexy bodies, and that slightly non-human feel that made them burn even hotter. Especially races like elves or succubi that were almost identical to humans. High-ranking races like dragons, balrogs, or upper demons that could transform into forms nearly indistinguishable from humans. Those had normal demand. It wasn’t strange at all.
“Then there must be other people besides me and you who lust after them.”
“……”
Faced with Park Jihun’s fundamental question, Shin Jiyeon turned her head slightly with an awkward expression. She glanced furtively toward Briana, as if checking her reaction.
“Um, well…”
Then Shin Jiyeon told him something quite shocking.
“Not everyone does it, but… there are quite a few hunters who capture monsters inside gates and do things that are basically rape.”
“……”
Park Jihun understood, thinking “Of course,” but the idea of other hunters violating pretty female monsters still left a bad taste in his mouth.
“After all, it’s illegal to bring monsters outside the gate. Even if someone risks it and takes one out, the monsters resist fiercely, and the intelligent ones sometimes attempt suicide. That’s also why people made such a fuss about the familiar skill…”
“W-wait, wait. Illegal?”
Park Jihun, who had been listening quietly, was genuinely surprised by the unexpected word and asked again. Bringing monsters out of the gate was illegal?
‘I never heard about that.’
The Association hadn’t said a single word about it. When Park Jihun asked in confusion, Shin Jiyeon looked at him like she couldn’t believe he didn’t know.
“If monsters come out into the outside world, they could threaten ordinary people. So it’s banned by law. D-don’t tell me the Association didn’t explain that to you?”
He had simply gained the power to make monsters obey and brought them out after subduing them. The Association had apparently only been interested in the familiar skill itself and hadn’t felt the need to mention the law. He had almost become a criminal without even realizing it!
“Those bastards…”
He made a mental note to confront the Association about this later.
“…Anyway, because of that, people don’t bring monsters outside. But sometimes hunters deliberately run low-rank gates just to relieve stress. When a pretty female monster appears, they gang-rape her… that kind of thing happens too.”
No matter how much someone liked female-type monsters, there were lines that shouldn’t be crossed. Shin Jiyeon’s expression darkened slightly as she spoke about the gang rapes. Apparently, female hunters also used handsome male-type monsters to relieve their sexual urges. It seemed like this sort of thing was tacitly tolerated within hunter society. After all, only hunters could enter gates, and monsters were terrifying enemies that threatened humanity. So it didn’t matter what happened to them inside.
“…Doesn’t feel great to hear.”
Of course, without the Alpha Male skill, Park Jihun might have ended up doing the same thing. After all, having his way with female monster forms had been his life’s goal. He had no intention of condemning them. Monsters were monsters, and what happened inside gates had nothing to do with the outside world. But—
‘If those bastards ever try to touch my familiars, I’ll kill them.’
If anyone dared to covet a female who had already fallen into his hands, like Briana, he would gouge out their lecherous eyes, rip out their vulgar mouths, and tear off the dicks they used to violate others. Park Jihun made that vow.
“Ah, Sunbae. Over there…”
At that moment, Shin Jiyeon pointed at something ahead.
“…Ooh.”
Park Jihun let out an admiring sound when he saw it. The trees surrounding the swamp were already enormous, but the tree before them was five—no, ten—times larger than those. Beneath it was a large hole that, because the tree was so massive, looked more like a cave.
“It’s the boss room.”
“It’s the boss room.”
The feeling of having entered a completely different space. They had arrived at the boss room. And as if confirming their expectations—
Warning! You have entered the boss room. The boss monster has appeared!
Boss monster, Silver Wolf Beastwoman ‘Kar,’ has appeared!
“Kyaaak…!”
Briana also sensed something approaching and lowered her body, taking a stance as if she might attack at any moment. But—
“Beastwoman?”
“Beastwoman…?”
Both Park Jihun and Shin Jiyeon questioned the word at the same time. Then—
“Krrrr… Pshita, ketu…!”
A silver-haired wolf beastwoman who could actually speak appeared. Of course, it was in some incomprehensible language, but the fact that she could speak at all was astonishing. That wasn’t the only problem, though.
Fluffy ears and pure white, shaggy hair. Bright yellow eyes that seemed to glow even at night. A fluffy fur jacket worn like a second skin. A battle dress with white fabric and golden embroidery that barely contained her ample breasts and slender body. And behind her, a luxurious white tail.
It was the very image of a beautiful wolf beastwoman.
“Uhyoooooo! A beastwoman beauty appeared!”
“Ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Wolf beastwoman big sis!!!”
The fact that she had spoken in an unknown language didn’t matter to either of them. The only thing that mattered was that a beautiful wolf beastwoman had appeared. That alone was their sole focus.
