Chapter 64: 16th Floor
For a moment, I buried my face in the pillow, but then I felt a gaze on my pussy and quickly equipped my gear.
- Ah
- Heh~ We can still see your plump pussy lips~
- lololol, it’s soaking wet
- Sluuurrrp
- It’s hotter when you try to cover it, isn’t it?
- Just gotta push it to the side and...
"......"
There was no end in sight to their sexual harassment.
“Haa… Okay, that’s enough. Let’s start the trial!”
I checked the time. A considerable amount had passed while I was milking myself and recovering my stamina.
[Time Remaining: 68 hours 22 minutes]
"Hoo..."
'I can't get too into that... stuff. I, Lee Do-hee, am destined to become the world's strongest man... no, woman. I should only do that once in a while.'
In the past, I would have sworn off it completely, but now, I found myself compromising.
I had finally realized it. The immense pleasure of a sexual act was something that could not be replaced by anything else...
Shaking my head, I began to prepare to enter the Tower.
The last empty slot in my inventory was filled by emptying a water bottle and putting in the container of breast milk.
This breast milk could serve as food when I was hungry, or as a holy power potion.
I boldly invested all 16 bonus stat points I’d earned from the 13th, 14th, and 15th floors into Divine Power. Reigniting my will to conquer the Tower, I brought up my status window.
"Status Window!"
[Ding~]
< Final Stats >
Strength: 182.5 → 200
Agility: 62.6 → 87.6
Defense: 129.1 → 192
Divine Power: 1354.7 → 2441.6
Lewd Power: 242.8
Divine Power Recovery Rate: 2 per hour
Regeneration: 1
All Other Elemental Resistances: 50
Bonus Stats: 0
Thanks to the elixirs, the necklace, and the bonus stats, my numbers had risen significantly.
And there was a reason I’d poured points into my already overflowing Divine Power.
'If I can stack buffs and even replicate skills from my past, there's no need to conserve Divine Power.'
The more, the better.
That was the state of my Divine Power right now.
Of course, it would take some adjustment to convert my old mana-based abilities to use Divine Power, but it wasn't impossible.
Skills that required pure mana, like Fireball, were still unusable, but physical arts like hand-to-hand combat, spearmanship, and swordsmanship were things that even paladins learned, so it was perfectly feasible.
'They've really gone up. I can do this...'
These monstrous stats would make my speedrun plans a reality.
"Here I go!"
- Whoa...?
- What's with those stats?
- Is that a bug?
- Wait, what happened to your Divine Power?
- Upvote if you were teasing Do-hee and suddenly got hit with a reality check lolololol
- Fuck, upvoted...
- Upvote;;

The 16th floor.
This floor's theme was a defensive siege.
If the 4th floor was about attacking a castle, this one was about defending it.
However, the method was a little different.
[You are the Imperial Princess, Elina Doenis, in command of the castle. Reinforcements will arrive in 7 days. Fend off the enemy's attack until then.]
'The system is being a little kinder, even telling me who I am.'
This trial was about holding out until reinforcements arrived.
Of course, it was impossible to endure through normal means.
The number of enemies varied slightly depending on the trial, but it was usually more than ten times our own forces.
So, the objective wasn't simply to defend, but to buy time through various means, like pretending to seek peace or using the natural terrain.
In other words, it was a trial of brains, not brawn.
'I wonder what it's like here...'
Recalling the trial's details, I slowly opened my eyes.
Thud.
"Your Highness. Please make your decision!"
The moment I opened my eyes, an old knight was pleading with me. The cold wind whipped through his hair.
'First, I need to assess the situation. This damn Tower... of course it wouldn't be kind.'
"Alright, tell me again."
Gulp...
The knight swallowed hard. His face was etched with tension.
"If... if Your Highness sacrifices herself... everyone can live. Please accept the marriage proposal from those barbarians."
'A marriage proposal...?'
Lifting my head, I looked out over the castle walls. An army of tens of thousands of barbarians was waiting, looking as if they could charge at any moment.
Clad more in animal furs and leather than in steel armor, they stared our way, holding menacing weapons like axes and spears.
Our forces numbered around two to three thousand. The enemy's, just from what I could see, was roughly fifty thousand.
However, I didn't sense any special energy from them.
At best, they were on the level of strong humans.
Right, with these clues, I had a rough grasp of the situation.
'So I just have to pretend I'm going to give it up to them for a week and stall for time.'
That was likely the original objective of the trial.
Act like a high-value woman, drag things out, and wait for reinforcements.
If negotiations broke down, I'd probably get fucked like crazy by the barbarians on the spot, leading to a bad ending.
If this were party play, it would have been an easy trial to pass by just throwing one of the girls out to be used as a flesh toilet.
'The Tower's tastes are really something... It keeps pushing me into these kinds of situations now.'
Isn't this trial basically telling me to get fucked by those barbarians?
However,
I now had the power to twist this scenario.
And luckily, it was only a B-rank trial.
"Shut up! I would rather die than sell my body to such vile barbarians."
"What? Your Highness! Isn't that precisely why you came here?"
"Everyone...!"
I casually ignored his words and looked up at our soldiers.
But their expressions...
Upon hearing my words, they turned hostile.
It was a look that said, Why should I have to die for you?
Common sense dictated they should be furious that their imperial princess was being sold off like a whore, but the men here were different.
'Loyalty isn't very high here...'
If I ordered a charge, I'd likely be killed by my own side.
Time for a change of plans.
"Hmph... Set up a negotiation table with the enemy. Right now."
"Yes! Understood!"
'You don't want to fight? I'll force you to fight.'
I'd been through plenty of trials with no one on my side.
If I had more time, I could figure out why I was so disliked and clear up any misunderstandings, but there was no time for that.
*
A short while later, in a temporary negotiation tent set up outside the castle walls.
It was positioned not in the center between the barbarian and our formations, but slightly off to the right, in a more secluded area.
Following the knight's guidance, I entered the tent. A man with a large bearskin draped over his shoulders and his upper body completely bare was waiting for me.
"Hehehe... You've finally graced me with your presence. Indeed, a choice I don't regret. You have a body that looks like it can bear many children."
His gaze raked over my body from top to bottom. The feeling of being sexually harassed and visually raped by a barbarian chief the moment I arrived was... not bad.
'I'm used to this now.'
I, Lee Do-hee, had reached the stage where I could enjoy it.
"......"
As I glared at him in silence, he stood up and slowly approached.
"I finally get my hands on you. Once you're in my arms, the empire will no longer have to worry about our tribe's invasions. I can certainly promise you that. In fact, we'll even support you in your war against the Kingdom Alliance."
He extended his hand.
Just as he was about to touch my arm, as if I were already his wife, I spoke.
"I'll make a promise, too. Today, your tribe is finished."
Fwoosh!! Thwack!
Stacking all my buffs five times over, I slammed my fist into his head.
No matter how strong a barbarian chief he was, he stood no chance of withstanding my current power. His head snapped around, and he died instantly.
"Wh-what!! What's happening inside!! Chieftai—!"
Splat! Splat!
I killed the barbarians who rushed in, their heads exploding.
The inside of the temporary tent was dyed red with blood, and horrific screams erupted from within.
After I finished off the barbarians, the knight from my side came running.
"Your Highness... what have you done?"
"They tried to rape me, so I killed them all. Bring me a horse. We strike while they're off guard."
"What...?"
Crack!
I grabbed the nameless, disobedient knight's neck.
"That's an order! If we stay like this, you die, I die, and all the soldiers die. What's done is done. Move if you don't want to die!"
There was no way the enemy hadn't heard what happened in this flimsy tent.
With all the loud screams and shouts, the enemy would be charging soon.
"Keuk... U-Understood...!"
The knight and I quickly ran towards the castle, but...
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud...
'They're fast...'
The barbarian cavalry charged in an instant, bearing down on me and the knight.
The vanguard cavalry numbered about 100.
I leaped towards the charging horsemen.
"Princess Elina! Aaargh!!!"
The knight was trampled to death by the horses.
I paid him no mind.
I kicked a lead rider in the torso, sending him flying, and smoothly mounted his horse.
I'd ridden horses to death in my past life, of course.
"This bitch!!"
The barbarian cavalry surrounded me, trying to kill me, but when I summoned a spear and swung it, the situation changed in an instant.
Swish!
Grabbing the end of the spear, I swung it in a long, wide arc, sending the enemy riders' heads flying into the air.
Like red fireworks exploding in every direction, heads and blood shot up, instantly turning the tide.
"Wh-what! What in the..."
I galloped through the panicked cavalry, weaving and reaping.
'It's been a while since I've ridden a horse.'
With every flash of my spear, another barbarian rider fell.
If I were standing still, their charge might have overwhelmed me, but I was also on a horse, riding with them.
I wouldn't go down so easily.
I skillfully dodged their charges, not overextending myself, and steadily whittled down their numbers one by one.
'The problem is their sheer number.'
Lifting my head, I looked into the distance. The siege had already begun.
The barbarians, having heard the rumor that their chief was killed by our treachery, were furiously charging the castle.
Our soldiers, left with no choice, were now desperately defending the walls to survive.
'I should give their morale a boost about now.'
Just as I killed the last surviving barbarian of the vanguard, there were no more enemies to obstruct me.
I spurred my horse on and charged towards our castle walls.
Taking a deep breath, I shouted.
"Everyone, fight back!!! Defeat the barbarians who tried to forcibly violate your princess and divide us with their wicked schemes!!!"
I shouted heroically as I broke through the ranks of their infantry.
"Hey, where did all the cavalry go!"
"St-stop her!"
"How dare you, you filthy whore!"
Splat!
There was no stopping me.
I mercilessly slaughtered the soldiers in front of me, cutting a path through the very center of the tens of thousands of infantry.
"She's coming in here...?"
My target was the one who looked like a sub-chief, giving orders in place of the dead chieftain.
I charged forward, sweeping aside the surrounding soldiers indiscriminately.
"Get out of my way, small fry!!"
Just one person.
A single person was collapsing the formation of tens of thousands and breaking through to the very core.
Contrary to her slutty, lewd attire, on the battlefield, she was literally a God of War.
To the enemy, she was an unstoppable monster, an incarnation of terror.
"Crazy... St-stop her!! Stop that bitch now!!"
I chased after the sub-chief, who was fleeing in terror.
Around her, the blood of soldiers rained down, and chunks of flesh, torn apart by her immense power, flew through the air.
There weren't many who could fight bravely after seeing such a sight. The morale of the once-valiant barbarians plummeted.
"You bitch! This is as far as you go..."
Thwack!
Even the famously brave barbarian warriors died in a single, equalizing blow, just like the other soldiers.
Blocking the spear was useless.
It pierced right through them and their shields.
Dodging was impossible.
Before they could even react, before they could even blink, their heads were sent flying.
"How can this be..."
The sub-chief glanced back as he fled.
The distance wasn't increasing; it was slowly closing.
The main body of their cavalry was now scrambling to catch me, but I was already mixed in with the infantry.
Unless they were willing to trample their own foot soldiers, they couldn't pick up speed.
"G-get out of the way! You all, stop that bitch—"
Thwack!
With that pathetic final command, the sub-chief's head flew into the air.
"......"
A brief silence fell over the area.
"Hoo..."
It wasn't over.
It might look like I'd won, but the majority of the enemy's forces were still intact.
"Well then, shall we start round two?"
Once again, thick blood splattered across the battlefield.
*
About an hour later.
"Chaaaaarge!!!"
Our imperial cavalry, having seized the momentum, pursued the barbarian warriors, slaughtering them mercilessly.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!
The ground trembled from the hooves of countless cavalrymen.
Actually, there weren't that many—only about 50.
Of course, to the barbarians who had already lost their will to fight and were scattering in every direction, it must have seemed like a lot.
'It's annoying that they only came out when I'd already won... but thanks for saving me some time, you bastards.'
[You have successfully cleared the trial. Reward grade increased for solo play. Reward grade increased for achieving the true ending.]
It was a well-known fact that you received the true ending reward if you dealt with everyone before the support troops arrived.
"Well, that's all done. Shall we go to the waiting room and get our reward?"
As I chose to proceed to the next floor and entered the waiting room, the blood and chunks of flesh caked on my body were washed away cleanly.
"Haa... Let's pick a reward quickly and move on."
- I knew this would happen lol
- She broke a brain-teaser with brute force
- For real, that's our Do-hee~
- ??? : The 16th floor takes a week
- No, it's supposed to take a week;;
- So refreshing
- No sex this floor, I guess
[Kayla5612 has donated 50,000 won]
Where's the humiliating public full-nelson anal orgasm sex in front of the soldiers?
- She should have been fucked like crazy while feeling shame and humiliation in front of the soldiers...
- Ah, that barbarian chief looked like he had a huge dick
- Do-hee should get fucked! Get fucked!
- Please respect the rights of perverts
- Do these guys just watch Do-hee's stream and jerk off all day? lolololol
"Alright, stop with the weird comments. Let's see the rewards."
[Please select an S-rank reward]
I flipped over all the cards that appeared in the air at once.
< Delicious Melon Bar >
It's delicious! It doesn't melt!
[S-rank Greatness Takes Time (大器晩成)]
Each time you climb the Tower, a random base stat increases by 1.
< Skill Enhancement Ticket > x3
"Hmmm... A Melon Bar? What the heck is this..."
I was curious just how delicious an S-rank Melon Bar could be.
Even things that seemed useless like that could be useful later on if I kept it in my inventory and presented it to an emperor, which might make other trials easier to solve.
'If the other options were useless, I would have picked that, but...'
Greatness Takes Time.
It was a shame it only appeared now, but a +1 to a random stat for every floor climbed was a pretty good option.
Besides, I had my own delicious breast milk instead of a melon bar. Couldn't I just pass it off as regular milk and feed it to someone?
"I'll go with Greatness Takes Time for this one."
- Good choice
- Melon Bar vs Do-hee's breast milk
- The latter, obviously
- Enhance your skills, you idiot
"Skill Enhancement Tickets will pile up over time. You can farm them pretty often on the repeatable floors that end in 9. Anyway, I'm going straight to the 17th floor."
Once I passed the 17th floor, time constraints would mostly be a thing of the past.
And there was one more thing I was aiming for.
'I'm going to see the unknown hidden ending of the 17th floor.'
A hidden ending on the 17th floor that was only passed down by word of mouth among a few people, and thus never officially recorded.
This time, I would be the one to prove it exists.
