"Perfect pose right now! Snap it!"
Click-
On Guild Master Park Hee-yeon's signal, her secretary took the photo.
Park Hee-yeon checked the picture.
It showed Justice's heroes delivering lunch boxes to the elderly victims of the dungeon disaster.
The most righteous guild!
The guild that gives back to civil society!
The guild I'd want my son or daughter to join!
That was Justice.
"Haa. Take it properly, would you? Focus on me and our kids, not the grannies and grandpas."
"Ah, yes. Sorry."
"Granny! We haven't finished the photos yet—where do you think you're going? I'll snatch that lunch box right back!"
"I thought we were done..."
Park Hee-yeon deserved a lot of the credit for crafting that image.
Even in her busy schedule, she'd carved out time for volunteer work and rolled up her sleeves personally.
"Granny, got any worries? Let's brighten up that face. We're taking pictures, you know."
"......"
Click-
"Hm. This one's good. Post this. Team 1, wrap up the volunteering nicely. We're heading out."
The secretary hurriedly brought the car around.
Park Hee-yeon slumped in the black van like seaweed.
"Reporter Shin Myung-hoon is at it again with his one-man protest."
"Shin Myung-hoon? That conspiracy nutjob?"
"Yes. He's demanding an investigation into the truth behind Kim Taeyang's Justice farm theory."
Kim Taeyang Justice farm theory.
It was a conspiracy theory floating around the guild world.
'Kim Taeyang was able to contract with Justice because he turned Guild Master Park Hee-yeon into his breeding sow.'
'Kim Taeyang has already turned most of Justice's female heroes into breeding sows, and most of the male heroes are about to leave the guild.'
'Kim Taeyang plans to turn Justice Guild into a breeding sow farm.'
Something along those lines.
"What a pain... How lucky is it that scandals like that will vanish soon?"
It had been three days since Kim Taeyang and the heroes entered the dungeon together.
They were originally supposed to come back in a day.
This much time passing meant one of two things.
They were dead, or they'd found a breakthrough in the raid.
At least so far, it wasn't the former.
If one of them had died, the dungeon gate would have reactivated.
'If he just works him moderately and comes back, that's fine, but if he clears this headache of a dungeon too, I'll throw in a bonus.'
Park Hee-yeon was convinced.
Abigail's team would conquer the Ruins Dungeon.
And they'd work Kim Taeyang to the bone, thoroughly breaking his bad habits.
'I knew Abigail would pull off something huge someday! See? My eye for talent is the best in the world! Park Hee-yeon's judgment is invincible!!'
"As expected of Taeyang hyung!"
Dungeon raid, day three.
Kim Jun-hwan shouted after discovering the alien god's disguise.
"His instincts are seriously sharp."
"Maybe he has some detection ability..."
"He said he has four contracted constellations right now, didn't he? Wouldn't be weird if he had detection skills."
"Four? Nah, it was five."
Just three days ago, these guys had ignored and shunned Kim Taeyang.
No trace of that attitude remained now.
"I saw Taeyang hyung exercising last night."
"Exercising? With that body? He barely ate dinner."
"I tried to stop him, but he said he had to maintain his senses. You never know when a fight might break out."
"This guy's really a first-timer in an S-rank dungeon? Why does he feel more veteran than us?"
Now it was all praise.
Of course it was.
They owed him their lives twice over, and twice he'd tried to sacrifice himself for them.
That praise had a self-defensive edge to it, too.
"When we get out, how should we handle the rumors about Taeyang hyung? You know, the breeding sow stuff."
"Obviously bullshit!"
"No way a fine upstanding guy like Kim Taeyang would turn women into sex slaves!"
"Right! They just keep saying 'breeding sow' this and that, but deep down, he's the pure, devoted type who loves only one woman!"
Even if their heads were cracked open, they'd defend Kim Taeyang.
It felt like they had to.
Otherwise, they'd be the trash.
"He just looks like a thug—only looks that way!"
"Yeah, yeah! Taeyang hyung's a good guy!"
"...But Jun-hwan, why do you call Kim Taeyang 'hyung' when you're older?"
"If he's stronger than me, he's hyung!"
"True... Guess I should call him oppa too."
They kept singing his praises until their mouths went dry, heading back to base.
"Young ones... We meet again."
"Granny?"
It was the old woman from the first day.
"You've done well. Thank you so much."
"What happens now?"
"I'll summon a god to aid in breaking the seal. A powerful, righteous god rivaling a guardian deity...!"
Flutter flutter flutter!!
The old woman raised her hands high, and a flock of pigeons appeared.
"Go. Hunt the evil god."
It hadn't been long since the search team returned.
Krunch!
"Gaaack!"
A pigeon flew through the broken window and splattered on the floor.
Blood trickled from the instantly killed bird's head.
The alien god finished meditating and approached us.
"Did you meet the old hag?"
"Ol-old hag? What are you talking about...?"
Kim Jun-hwan played dumb.
The old woman and the alien god.
Which was the evil god was obvious.
The old woman hadn't harmed us, but the alien god had torn off an arm and caused blindness.
But that was just one side.
Truth was, there was no good or evil in this dungeon.
"I know everything. Reading your memories is child's play."
"Hey. You really know everything? Then no need to ask."
"Shut it, worm."
No comeback, so resorting to ad hominem?
Check out this alien god's personality.
Krunch! Crunch crunch!
The pigeon assaults accelerated.
Not just one or two.
Dozens, hundreds of pigeons flew into the base, smashing their heads and dying.
"Gah! These crazy pigeon bastards...!"
"We're under attack! Fall back inside!"
We grabbed blind Abigail and retreated deeper into the building.
The alien god had vanished, probably fled.
We just watched the pigeons' suicide show continue.
Pigeon corpses piled up like mountains, and when sticky blood touched our shoes, the old woman appeared.
"Paco! Paco! Paco...! I call your name three times—show your feathers...!"
With her chant, the pigeon corpses exploded.
Fwoosh-!
"Ugh!"
Feathers scattered everywhere.
Blood pooled even more.
The floor was now completely covered in blood, like a red pond.
Never thought I'd witness this grotesque summoning ritual up close.
"Blood-soaked feathers are here! Gut-spilled toys are here! Lifespan-exhausted contractors are here! Paco! Paco! Paco! Peck me to pieces...!"
As the incantation ended, the blood pool rippled.
As if something writhed inside.
The blood-soaked feathers gathered.
Forming one massive wing that rose up.
"Who calls the Blood Warrior?"
What emerged was a humanoid... thing.
A muscular male body, but with a pigeon's head...
Compared to the creepy ritual, it looked kinda funny.
Pfft.
"Who just laughed? Why? What's so funny?"
Sensitive to laughter—guess even it knows it looks ridiculous.
Anyway.
This guy's name was Paco.
A constellation in pigeon form, basically this dungeon's boss.
"You found me well, birdbrain!"
KABOOOMMMM!!!
The alien god reverted to giant form and struck first.
The ruins half-collapsed—we nearly died.
"Taeyang hyung! Get back!"
"Hey! I can handle myself—go protect the team leader sow!!"
We quickly evacuated outside.
Now it was just fighting Paco's minions.
"What the hell are those massive crazy pigeons?!"
"I don't know!! Just kill them!!!"
Pigeons over 2 meters tall, chimera-like mixes of pigeons and something else, charged us.
Not strong, but endless numbers.
No room to breathe amid the waves.
"How long do we have to keep killing these?!"
"Over there...! The two gods are fighting!!"
In the distance, we saw the alien god and Paco.
They fought like maniacs.
Enough to pulverize the entire ruined city.
Now was the time.
For players to step in.
"Hey! Cover me!!"
"Ta-Taeyang hyung?!"
I charged through the pigeon monster horde.
Pulled out Hecate in pen form.
"Hey, old hag! Snap out of it!"
"Ugh... Tr-traveler... This place has bad vibes... A constellation's power I can't handle..."
Hecate still out of it, as expected.
Proof of those two's immense power.
But I needed Hecate's help.
I frantically cycled her colors to snap her awake.
Clickclickclickclickclickclickclick!!!
"Oooongh!!! Wh-what iiiis thiiiis-!!!"
"Hey hey! I said snap out of it!! Huh?! If you don't help, we're dead!!!"
I pulled the alpha wolf's fang from subspace.
A reward from Asmo.
"I offer this artifact as sacrifice! Amplify the curse effect!!"
"Aghh... Fine, but no gender-bending."
"Good enough!!"
Hecate's colors: three types.
Black for negative debuffs, red for direct harm curses.
Blue is different.
Not for heroes.
For constellations.
That's why she can't use it freely.
Mess up, pick a fight with a stellar realm?
Get ganged up on by constellations and wrecked.
But now it's fine.
Paco and alien god.
One will die and vanish.
"Weaken Paco!"
If alien god wins, I get my arm back.
If Paco wins, no arm but extra life coin.
Player's choice.
But for me, contracted with Hades, life coins aren't a big deal.
"Hey, alien sow! I'm boosting you, so if you lose, I'll kill you myself!! Huh?!!"
Now alien god crushes Paco, I reclaim my arm, exit dungeon—done.
Happy ending for everyone but Paco!
"Do more!"
"Hah? Do what more?!"
"That's not enough, so if you're helping, help more...!"
But why?
Paco seems stronger than in the original...
Why's this dungeon so messed up?!
"Guguugu! An outer god begging worms for help? I'm embarrassed for you!"
"Shut up, birdbrain bastard!"
"What's the advantage of a birdbrain?"
"So dumb you never get headaches?"
"Wrong! The answer is a beak that can peck out eyeballs!"
Peck peck peck!!
"Kaaaaack!!"
Paco toyed with the alien god mercilessly.
At this rate, alien god would lose.
To survive, maybe side with Paco now...?
My arm... Can't give up my right arm!
"Dark traveler...! Why curse that guy?! I can't handle itttt!!!"
"Quit whining, old hag. I have a plan."
Only one way left.
My trump card.
Sucks to use it already, but arm comes first.
"Hey. Lewd JK. Summoning time."
Asmo summon scroll!
Summon the cute and super strong final boss Asmo and make him fight!
Bzzzzt crackle—
Digital noise glitched reality.
"Wh-what is this?"
"Noise?"
The phenomenon startled even grand constellations like Paco and the alien god.
"Daddy...?"
And Asmo was summoned.
Right in front of me.
Unexpectedly, Asmo looked confused by the situation.
Scared of the constellations, she hid behind my back.
"Wh-where is this? Who are those people...?"
Oh right.
She's a total hikikomori.
"Hey hey! Explanations later—fight first! That pigeon-head guy's our enemy!!"
"Um..."
Asmo shuffled forward hesitantly.
Super shy steps.
Asmo!
Please fight!
Daddy's gonna die!
But then.
Something weird happened.
Paco spotted Asmo—
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [NTR Situation Enacted!] [Obtained 300 Coins!] A flood of NTR coins rolled in.
"Hah...?"
I couldn't comprehend.
I thought this dungeon's story was a standalone sub-plot.
Related to Asmo?
"A-Asmodeus-nim...? Why are you... there, next to that human... doing what exactly...?!"
Paco asked, visibly shocked.
The alien god beside him was stunned too.
"Asmodeus...!"
What?
You guys her friends?
