Chapter Title: Warehouse Raid (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"There's a warehouse in here?"
Yeah, it should be under this pond.
I answered Elrine's question.
Treasure warehouse raid plan.
The women already knew the full plan. I'd told them I was going to raid a warehouse, snag a dungeon core, and build my own dungeon.
They were my companions now.
Elrine, Piona, Amy, Rosa, Yuri.
From here on, they'd live with me inside the dungeon I'd create, cut off from human society.
If their training hadn't been complete, they might've rebelled at that idea. But not a single one showed any resistance.
Without my skills, it would've been hard to tell if they were just pretending. But I had cheat-level skills.
Everyone's progress on the Yin Gate of Love and Submission had already surpassed 30%.
Like all my other skills, the moment I learned Yin Gate of Love and Submission, its details flooded my mind.
At 0-9%, the target wrestles with the pleasure from my cock and her own situation—debating it until I thrust in, then she can't resist and ends up enjoying it.
10-19% is when she accepts her place beneath me. Affection and submission start to bloom, and deep down, she recognizes me as a great being, etched into her soul.
At 20% and up, that affection and submission intensify, blossoming into full-blown love.
Beyond 30%? No need to explain. Affection, submission, and love rage fiercely—and from there, those feelings just keep growing stronger.
They were at the stage where they'd obey any command without question.
Of course, someone like Piona might sass back or react in her own way due to her personality. But for serious orders, they'd always put me first.
They all felt intense affection, submission, and love toward me.
Love between a monster and humans?
Common sense says it's impossible. But that's what my tentacle monster cock and their yin gates made possible.
This was the new genre: tentacle rape pure love...
Pure love fans might freak out hearing that.
'As long as the girls are happy, isn't that what matters?'
That's how I saw it.
My women would live with me, help expand the dungeon, and manage it.
'Anyway, time to crack open that warehouse.'
Tentacle Limb Slime No. 5 had found the treasure warehouse 'Rune's Pond' where the dungeon core slept, so I'd brought all my women here to the signal spot.
It was a full day's walk away, so I'd reverted to my original size, loaded the girls onto my body, and raced here at full speed.
'There has to be a way in...'
I slithered to the stone etched with runes and scanned the markings thoroughly with my vision tentacles.
'Right, this rune. Channel mana into it.'
My eyes lit up at the sight.
Red Dragon rune.
A dragon's head wreathed in roaring flames.
It was the clan rune of 'Rune's' father—the No. 5 S-Class adventurer.
Raiding a warehouse marked with a Red Dragon rune would normally be suicide. But this place was abandoned. No real risks.
I extended a Basic Tentacle onto the rune and channeled mana from my body into it.
'Tentacle monster. Cheat body.'
In the prequel, ordinary people needed grueling training just to sense and control mana.
Not me.
Tentacle monster instinct? Mana flowed naturally inside me even at rest. And with a mere thought to move it, I could direct it freely.
I couldn't cast varied spells without knowledge, but I could use imprinted magic through my mana tentacles.
'So if I learn spells, can I use a bunch of them?'
Intriguing, but later. I kept pouring mana into the rune stone.
Woooong—
The rune glowed, and the stone trembled. The embedded magic reacted to my mana.
Soon the shaking stopped, and a holographic screen appeared before me.
Beep—
[Please enter the password.]
This wasn't my system message.
Just a hologram—magical tech anyone could see.
Amazed again by dragon-level magic, I punched the password into the keypad below the hologram.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep—
Password: 587785.
[Password accepted. Opening warehouse entrance.]
Hiss—
Exactly as detailed in the prequel's setting book.
Whirr—
Rumble rumble rumble—
The hologram vanished, the pond quaked, and a massive iron door rose from the water.
"Wh-whoa..."
"The door's rising!"
The women gasped in awe. I just stood there, admiring the secret door emerging.
Soon the vibrations faded. I opened the sealed iron door and called back to the stunned women.
You girls come in too.
"Y-Yes!"
"Wow, but Lord Tentacle, how did you even know about a place like this?"
Amy marveled, while Elrine looked genuinely curious as she asked me.
Tough question to answer.
Tell them a horny pervert goddess who wants me to fuck every woman in the world made a game based on your reality—and I read the setting book?
I pondered briefly, then replied.
I'll tell you later.
"Hehe, got it. Won't ask if it's a secret."
I might tell them someday, but not now. Elrine nodded and stuck right by my side as we walked.
I stroked her head, then led them down into the underground warehouse.
Squish— squish—
Thud, thud, thud—
"Feels like a secret hideout."
"Totally."
"Super sleek. What's the wall material?"
"No clue. Feels sturdy."
Piona, Amy, and Rosa chattered as they descended. Elrine gripped my Basic Tentacle like a lover holding hands.
"......"
Perk perk—
Yuri stood on Elrine's opposite side, clinging to me the same way while subtly eyeing Elrine's hand.
'These stairs go on forever.'
We'd already gone down what felt like 30 floors, but it kept descending.
Only around floor 50 did we reach a wide corridor.
"Whoa."
Rosa gasped. I agreed. I'd read the setting book, but seeing it was even more impressive.
"Fully equipped" didn't do it justice. It looked like a secret organization's base.
The corridor curved long and wide. Scanning with extended Detection Tentacles and mana sense revealed bedrooms, baths, even a kitchen.
'Why not just make this the dungeon?'
The thought crossed my mind.
But no.
Even abandoned, the owner could return anytime. I didn't want to face the No. 5 S-Class monster. Better grab what we need and bounce.
'Still, maybe let them enjoy it a bit?'
We had to pick a core anyway.
I messaged them all telepathically.
Looks like there's a shower room and bath too. Relax until I say to gather.
"A bath!?"
Amy's shout kicked it off—Piona, Rosa, Elrine, and Yuri's eyes sparkled fiercely.
They must be dying to wash up properly.
They hadn't gone without washing entirely, but it wasn't proper.
Amy had worked hard for it.
Using combat water magic for supply or spraying stream water like a shower.
But nothing beat a real bath.
Bedrooms have clothes too—grab some. I'll be in the warehouse. Call if anything happens.
They'd been naked trekking through the forest till now.
No one else encountered yet, so no other men had seen my women's bodies. But no guarantees going forward.
Stock up on clothes.
From now on, no more ripping clothes off mindlessly for sex. Time to undress them like a gentleman.
Squish squish—
The women cheered and headed to the baths together. I slithered alone to the warehouse.
The warehouse door was sealed tight.
Another rune etched on it.
One more password to open it. I channeled mana into the rune, and a hologram popped up.
[Please enter the password.]
Beep beep beep—
6974.
[Password accepted. Opening warehouse.]
Rumble—
I entered.
Lights blazed on instantly, illuminating a gym-sized interior.
'They really cleared out the valuables.'
I smacked my lips.
Hoped otherwise, but yeah. Warehouse was sparse relative to its size.
Still, some sellable stuff.
Is that gold bars?
Discarding this much gold casually? Rune really was something.
'Core, core... where's the core? Ah, there.'
Slithering around, I finally spotted the dungeon cores.
A box in the corner held them—transparent, pretty, yet ominously pulsing.
The power source that ran dungeons—the dungeon itself.
Prequel dangled core lore without resolving it.
But clear: monsters consume a core, merge or claim ownership, birthing a dungeon with them as boss.
Cores had ranks too.
Higher rank meant stronger power, bigger, more complex dungeons.
Scrape— scrape—
I whipped Basic Tentacles to sort high-rank ones.
Couldn't tell rank by looks alone.
Just gauged by aura and size, picking the promising ones.
'In the game, hovering showed the rank.'
Not here.
Master of All Life only revealed lifeforms. No info on objects.
Trying it on rocks or stream water? Nothing.
'Wait, objects... lifeforms.'
A setting flashed in my mind.
Dungeons have wills.
From prequel dialogue. Unclear source, but memorable.
Maybe?
I tested Master of All Life on a random core.
'Nice.'
It worked.
Dungeon Guardian Spirit. That's what cores really were.
First time learning that. Thought I knew this world well—time to drop the arrogance.
Just played the prequel and read the book. Not omniscient.
'A dude, though.'
Didn't expect gender for something I thought inanimate.
Seeing "Male" under True Name Derikson irked me for some reason.
Planned to grab a high-rank core for the dungeon. But gender changes things.
Can't have another male in my harem dungeon.
If male cores exist, so do female ones?
I pulled every core from the box, checking each one's info. Target: high rank, female.
And finally.
'Found it...!'
I had my pick.
Lucky—the highest-rank core in the box was female.
I lifted the large, darkly pulsing one with a Basic Tentacle and checked its info again.
