[Title: What the fuck is this bitch?]
Straight up dragged me off, then I got jumped at the villa.
Beat the first opponent, lost to the next fucker?
Then she just shoved money in my hand and booted me out.
Fuck, who is this rude-ass bitch?
└ You fuck, what did you just say about our Patron?
└ lol One guy? Pathetic fucking loser, right~
└ Heuuung my eyes...
└ I'm Ryuji and something's weird...
└ No fuck, so what the hell happened?
└ How dare a fucking worthless cow talk shit about our Patron? Rude bitch? Take it back take it back take it back take it back take it back take it back
└└ No, you gotta explain it...
└└ Tch tch (link)

Hey, newbie. You got in, so drop to your knees pronto—what the hell are you doing?
Let's start the daily worship.
Almighty top Patron of us all... grant us our daily bread... What? What kinda bullshit is this?
You wouldn't happen to not know our Hilda Ein Bellatus Gongnyeo-nim, would you?
Just kidding—for newbies like you, I prepared this! Knight pattern analysis videos and Gongnyeo event summary.
You probably read this before starting the game, or you're here frantically searching info 'cause shit got real sudden, right?
Anyway, that Gongnyeo-nim has zero interest in users level 20 or higher—she's an utterly depraved shotacon big sis.
No one knows the confirmed trigger for Gongnyeo-nim's event.
She just shows up after you're lucky enough to catch her eye at the end of a dungeon exploration.
She drops by often looking for talent worthy of becoming a Raid Member. Or if you bump into her elsewhere, it's all good too.
But we're players, so if you meet her, boom—off to the test.
Huh? But isn't this game all about becoming a Raid Member anyway? Yup, exactly. But NPCs are Raid Members too, and they all got mounts.
Following her naturally leads to the Raid Member route, but the growth gap is what matters.
It's basically the chance for so-called vets to catch a division commander's eye and get pushed hard.
Our big sis spots a ★Lo☆w-☆Le☆v★☆el★ scrub and drags 'em off to spar with the knights first thing.
Knight info's all up top.
Where's stage 5?
Fuck, you moron! That means you're not a newbie—you're some stale old-timer who's looped the Gongnyeo event reroll.
(Tongue-clicking frog meme.)
If you cleared stage 4, figure it out yourself, tch...
Anyway (link) playthrough video here. Stage 5 is pure control territory...
I barely cleared it myself. Stage 6? Exists.
But stage 6 just hits a cutscene and whoosh—your character's already KO'd on the floor.
Higher clears obviously net better commissions and rewards, right?
Newbie: I could only clear up to stage 3 ㅠㅠ
Congrats, newbie—you hit the jackpot in life. Go every time Gongnyeo-nim summons you, dumbass. Those are all high-end commissions?
Always bow toward wherever Gongnyeo-nim is.
Stages 1,2...? Eh... it's fine... no issues for leveling. Just poor, tough, cold, hungry—life's like that.
Gongnyeo-nim route opens the noble route easy too... such a shame, huh.
└ Strategy plz
└ Strategy plz
└ Whoa, why you so pro? Stage 5 was impossible, kept dying?
└└ Reroll 4000 hours and you can get there ㅇㅇ
└└ Ah... yeah...
└ Oh fuck, that's what it was?
└└ Hi tank
└└ You little shit... live proud, kid! You die without Gongnyeo-nim? I died ㅇㅇ
└ Still, her attitude's so fucking rude, hate it
└└ Hurry to stage 2 lol
└└ Dude you're invisible! lol
"Huuuk... huuuk..."
"Good job, kid. Rest a bit and let's go grab some food."
"Yes, Master-nim."
A few days left until the 25th... I threw myself into Training.
Untying the blindfold I'd kept on, fairy tales were scattered around my collapsed body.
To heighten my Ki Sense, I wore the blindfold and knocked away the fairy tales Master-nim tossed one by one.
Most blocks were pure luck... but believe—it's gotta have an effect.
I picked up the fairy tales and went over to Master-nim, who was sitting on the floor.
"Master-nim..."
"Oh? Hehe... kiddo, isn't it a total habit now?"
She pulled me into a hug without hesitation, wrapping her tail around my waist.
Feels so good... just pure bliss.
As I caught my breath leaning on Master-nim's head on my shoulder, she lifted her head.
"Hm? Kiddo, where's your Subspace Bracelet?"
Ah, right. How do I explain this?
"Urgh... well, you see..."
"It's fine, it's fine. Relax those brows... there! Good boy~ Wanna get another one? Huh?"
Master-nim slinked up onto my lap.
"I'm not a kid, Master-nim..."
As my brows furrowed again, she planted a kiss on my forehead.
"Hehe, right~ Mwah!♥ I know our kiddo's a big grown man... so, wanna get another one?"
If she keeps tempting me like this... decided to hold off for now.
-Whoosh! Thud!
"Ah♥"
... Fail.
I stopped Master-nim, who was stripping with a 'Yeah, I get it' look on her face.
"W-Wait a sec, Master-nim... this is just a physiological reaction..."
"Haa...♥ Can't have a boy walking around like this... guess I have no choice..."
"I absorbed the Subspace!"
Master-nim froze mid-motion at my words.
"...What?"
Face like 'Did I hear that right?'
I raised my hand to show my empty palm, then summoned a torch.
-Thump
"...?"
"Like this, the Subspace went inside my body..."
In that instant, Master-nim's eyes flipped and she pinned me down.
-Kung!
-Grope grope
"M-Master-nim?"
"No way this happened... it can't be... kiddo, you okay? Huh? No weird symptoms?"
Master-nim yanked open my robe and checked my whole body.
She'd seen it all before, so it was fine, but seeing her tail tucked away made me feel bad.
I hugged the panicking Master-nim.
-Squeeze
"Master-nim, my body's totally fine. No need to worry."
She squirmed in my arms, then wrapped her tail tightly around my leg.
"Really no issues at all? Wanna hit the Temple? Huh?"
I stroked her trembling body and said,
"I'm fine. I'm just... kinda special constitution, you know..."
"Still... still..."
Figured I should tell Master-nim about the Status Window.
Sorting my thoughts on how to explain, I opened my Inventory...
'Hm? What's this...?'
There was a green jelly chunk...? Something like that in one corner of my Inventory.
"Hm? What's this?"
"Kiddo! Something wrong? Huh?"
"N-No, it's not that."
I pulled out a jelly piece from my Inventory.
Master-nim's eyes went wide at the jelly.
"It was inside the Subspace."
"Th-That's what? Wait... that's a por—"
Then I felt my body getting sucked away.
-Kung...
"Outta..."
Arin, who had been on top of Ryu-o's body.
Ryu-o vanished suddenly, so she lightly hit the floor.
"...Kiddo?"
Her precious golden boy literally poofed right in front of her eyes.
Arin couldn't accept reality for a moment.
Felt like all that happiness till now was a dream.
But her disciple's scent all over her clothes reminded her this wasn't a dream.
The chaotic situation shattered Arin's mental and plunged her into panic.
"Kiddo... huh? Huh? Where are you? What the..."
A situation beyond explanation.
Her heart clenched tight, cold sweat pouring from her whole body.
"Haa... haa... kiddo? Kiddo?"
Felt like her world had dropped out from under her.
Would be nice if there was even a trace left, but even his scent cut off completely.
Arin took deep breaths to gather her thoughts.
'Calm down... gotta find him... no way this happened. Think about the last situation with kiddo... he had something like a portal in his hand...'
"Portal? Oh, no!!!!!"
How Ryu-o got a portal in his hand didn't matter to Arin.
Just that her disciple got sucked into the Labyrinth without any prep...
"Green... it was green... so he'll be fine."
Steeling her shaky mind, Arin bolted out to the courtyard barefoot.
-Ding!
[Transmigrator title activated! Intelligence +3]
-Kung!
"Wh-What!"
"Huh? Huh?"
Sudden title trigger, scenery changed in a flash.
I locked eyes with the Guild Master holding a stack of papers at the dungeon entrance.
"R-Ryu-o-nim?!?! Where'd you come from all sudden?!"
"W-Wait a sec. I need time to think too..."
Guild Master's gaze swept my whole body, and a dumb sound leaked from her mouth.
"...Ah?"
My current state—robe fully open...
"S-Sorry! Didn't mean to show something unsightly..."
I hurriedly tied my robe and stood up.
Then voices rang out.
-Master! What's wrong?
-Are you okay?
Armored soldiers' footsteps approached.
"What... is this...?"
"W-Wait! I'll explain, so..."
I grabbed the Guild Master's hand and hid behind a pillar.
"Wh-Wha! Mmph!"
I covered the shouting Guild Master's mouth with my hand and hugged her from behind.
Her body through the thin clothes... felt super weird, but I focused.
-Master?
Not a great situation.
Soldiers arrived right on time.
"Master...? You okay?"
Luckily, only the Guild Master saw me come out of the portal.
"Mmph...? Mmph!"
-Squeeze...
"Hmmph!?!"
I whispered in the Master's ear.
"I'll explain everything that happened..."
No record of Labyrinth entry/exit... gotta explain well.
-Twitch! Twitch!
"For now, can you... send the soldiers away...?"
Please.
