"No way this dungeon is inside your tattoo world, right?"
"...I'm not sure."
"Then do you know what kind of monsters are in here?"
"That stone tower is a symbol of the Hopel tribe. If it's the same as my tattoo world, there should be Hopel tribesmen here. ...But since this is a dungeon, I can't be certain."
"Hopel tribe? Tell me more."
The Hopel tribe Park Su-ho mentioned were, simply put, monsters that closely resembled humans. Or rather, they were more like another race than monsters.
The Hopel were cannibals. Their intelligence was significantly lower than humans', but their physical abilities were on par with E-rank hunters.
"I fought them once before. Their physical prowess is a bit below mine."
"Is that so? They don't sound too dangerous."
Their distinctive features were bizarre wooden masks and strange tattoos on their bodies. And under the masks, they had four eyes, with spines protruding from their necks.
"The Hopel use primitive weapons. Wooden spears, wooden shields, stone axes... The real danger is their wooden arrows, and they usually move in groups."
"Hmm. Even so, they're probably just E-rank level at best. With me here, we can clear this dungeon no problem. But why do you look so scared?"
"...It's not fear so much as unease. The Hopel... they look just like us on the outside, but they've built their own civilization. That stone tower holds religious significance for them."
Park Su-ho seemed reluctant about having to fight the Hopel tribe.
As I listened to him, I thought of the Pylon. The newly appeared monsters called Pylon. Monsters with intelligence surpassing humans and rapidly growing power. Some people called them a race that had evolved differently from humans due to their intellect.
"Park Su-ho. This is a dungeon. If you don't want to fight, I won't force you. Stay here. I'll handle it alone."
"...Sorry. I just panicked for a moment. I'll help too, hyung."
"Listen up, Park Su-ho. We're in a dungeon. Human or monster, if we want to get out alive, we have to kill the Hopel. Got it?"
"...Yeah. I can't die here."
Park Su-ho steeled his resolve. He had a sick little sister lying in a hospital bed. He couldn't stop here.
Park Su-ho and I began moving while staying alert to our surroundings.
"Why are there so many flies?"
I swatted at the flies irritating my nerves, intending to shoo them away. But the flies fearlessly charged at me, so I unleashed a spark of brain lightning and fried them to crispy deaths on the outside, raw on the inside.
"It's a good environment for insects. Not just flies—there are mosquitoes too."
"They're really annoying. Anyway, how are things with Elysia these days?"
Elysia.
The mage living in Park Su-ho's tattoo world. She acted as his adjutant and secretary in place of the mayor of Veroprin City, allowing him to manage the city efficiently. It was all thanks to her.
"...Elysia? Why bring her up out of nowhere?"
Park Su-ho's face stiffened.
"You two seemed really close last time I saw you... I figured it was about time you started dating."
"Elysia and I aren't like that. It's just... a business relationship where we both get what we want."
I occasionally donned a clown mask and entered Park Su-ho's tattoo world to fuck Elysia and the other women. Especially Elysia—I raped her every time I went in. But lately, even she had sex with me without resistance. It was no longer rape.
I could understand why Park Su-ho's feelings for Elysia had faded.
But looking closely, it was clear he was just pretending to be tough. His lips trembled at the mere mention of her name, and his fists clenched. Proof that he still harbored feelings for her.
'I get how Park Su-ho feels. Elysia's the most beautiful woman in Veroprin City.'
She wasn't just a stunning blonde beauty; she was also exceptionally competent as a mage.
Especially since Park Su-ho had awakened his abilities, he'd relied heavily on Elysia's help. She was too alluring to give up easily.
'Even Ha Seung-hee, the chaebol heiress, doesn't hold a candle to Elysia... but he thinks they live in different worlds.'
I, who had been walking ahead, suddenly stopped.
"...Hyung?"
"Something's there. I'll check it out. Wait here."
"Yu-jin hyung. Let me come with you. We should stick together."
"You know I can conceal my presence better. Can you hide yours like I do?"
"...No."
"There are only two of us. Even if I'm a C-rank hunter, getting surrounded would be game over. I'm not invincible. We need to move stealthily."
"Got it. I'll wait here."
I advanced using the Yeongcheon-ryu footwork technique, completely masking my presence.
Under a large tree were five human-like... no, Hopel tribesmen. Just as Park Su-ho described, they wore bizarre wooden masks, their bodies covered in strange tattoos. They wore no clothes, not even leaves, and held primitive weapons like wooden spears and shields.
'Successful hunt, huh... Wait. That's a woman? There are females too?'
I felt a shock like a blow to the back of my head. Come to think of it, some monsters had distinct males and females. Goblins were a prime example.
'But she's basically human!'
Apart from the four eyes and neck spines, she was human. Her perky breasts had nipples, and her pubic area was hairless but featured the same crimson pussy as a human woman's.
I understood why Park Su-ho felt uneasy about killing Hopel. They were far more human-like than expected.
'Jackpot!'
I prepared to charge out, gripping the Hwaryeon Bido from my inventory. One woman, four men. I'd kill the men in one go.
The five Hopel surrounded their hunted wild boar, muttering something.
They danced in a bizarre ritual. My eyes locked onto the female Hopel. Her jiggling breasts seemed to beg me to fuck her.
'First things first... I need to record what kind of monsters are here, so let's take a video.'
In the Hunter Department, we'd learned that documenting closed dungeons for the association was important. If the Hopel were confirmed as a new species, I could name them myself and get extra rewards.
Once the ritual ended, the Hopel sliced open the boar's belly, removed the entrails, and ate them.
'Ugh. They just eat that raw?'
They removed their masks, revealing four eyes as Park Su-ho said—two normal ones with another pair above.
"Kesa-toon! Kesa-toon!"
The one devouring the entrails kept shouting "Kesa-toon!" It probably meant something like "delicious."
I didn't sneak up—I charged straight at them.
'E-rank level anyway. With mana enhancement, I can take all five in seconds.'
I reinforced my body with mana and cleaved the heads off the two in front of me. Heads flew through the air, blood spurting.
"Jitukang! Jitukang!"
Instead of fleeing in fear, they raged and swung their crude wooden spears at me. The speed was invisible to normals but clear to me. I slashed the spears aside and smashed one fist into a skull, caving in its face and shattering bone. Instant death.
I bisected another from head to groin.
The last, the woman, tried to flee in terror. I grabbed her arm and pummeled her body until she submitted.
'Fucking her here would alert Park Su-ho. Gotta take her somewhere remote. I can make excuses later.'
But before leaving, I glanced at the corpses.
'Same internal structure as humans. Brain, lungs, heart, stomach, intestines... even the bones are similar.'
I sliced open one's heart.
A magic stone emerged.
'Human? Monster?'
Who knows.
Just fuck the woman.
I gripped her waist and dragged her deep into the forest.
In a humid spot surrounded by massive trees, I threw her to the ground.
"Tuhma! Johugodreong!"
"What're you saying?"
"Shalkiaog!"
"Don't run, bitch."
I kicked her back as she tried to flee, moderating my strength.
"Kiaak!"
She screamed and trembled on the ground. I slowly scanned her body. Her face was average—not ugly, but the four eyes felt alien.
Her skin was pale white. Excluding the neck spines, her body was toned without excess fat. C-cup breasts perky, nipples a nice light brown shape.
'Would've been hotter without the weird tattoos.'
I grabbed one leg and spread her thighs wide. Her crimson slit parted like opening doors. Identical to a human pussy.
'No pubic hair. Not shaved... Hopel trait, I guess.'
I dropped my pants and pulled out my pride and joy.
"...Hworujemi! Tuhma!"
Her face paled to black. As she tried to run, I punched her gut.
"Kuhuk!"
"Shut up."
I activated Arousal Heightening but skipped foreplay. Thrust straight into her pussy.
"Aaaaaah!"
She screamed. Dry and tight. But I forced it all in.
"Human pussy through and through."
I rocked my hips while groping her perky tits. Muscular build made them incredibly firm.
"Emugihuidu! Aaaaah!"
She resisted, but it was futile. Soon she gave up. By then, her pussy was soaked.
Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!
"Haaaak! Kaaak! Haaaak!"
Her moans were weird, but she was clearly feeling pleasure.
I pinched her erect clit hard. Her body convulsed like a live fish, pussy clenching.
"Matiaaaa!"
Pussy juice squirted. I came inside her too.
"...Whew. Decent pussy... so I'll let you live."
I shook off the fluids from my dick and tucked it away. Not pretty enough to invest more time.
"Kargi... Jitukang!"
The woman grabbed a sharp stone from the ground and lunged at my back. I spun, drew my Hwaryeon Bido, and severed her neck. Her head rolled. My eyes showed no disturbance.
"Should've been grateful..."
I turned away. Too lazy to extract the core. Money didn't matter.
'Huh? How long since she died, and bugs are already swarming?'
I stopped as I turned to leave.
The Hopel I'd seen varied in appearance like humans. There might be prettier females than this one.
'Tell Park Su-ho I got ambushed and lost my way... Head to where the Hopel live. Probably near that stone tower.'
Park Su-ho wasn't weak enough to die stupidly. With his skills and talent, he could survive alone for days.
'Just play around a bit.'
???
My guess that their village was near the stone tower was spot on.
They lived in crude huts made from split wood.
'About 200... Kids too, so they reproduce.'
Stone towers were elsewhere too. If similar, over 3,000 Hopel in this dungeon alone.
I strode boldly toward the village.
"I'll kill the men and fuck the women!"
My shout caused chaos. Men and women poured out, blocking my path.
At their center was one wearing a ornate wooden mask with bird feathers. At his command, the Hopel moved in unison. Probably the village chief.
"Pyurobaer! Pyurobaer! Hakargiheng!"
Dozens of wooden arrows flew at me. I drew my sword and charged.
