A Guild's Betrayal
“Ah! Ahng! Haaaah!”
My prediction had hit the mark. And at the same time, it was a miraculous experience.
The poisons staining Kim Se-in's body in various colors began to drain away as she moved atop me. The hues that had marred her flawless skin vanished rapidly, restoring her original pure, white complexion. It was astonishing.
To think my Unreasonable Favor ability now included healing powers. It wasn't originally built-in, but rather a result of using it effectively, as Valentina had advised. After all, this power had the effect of enhancing even my sex partners.
That was the first revelation, and the second came from this intercourse: the ability to control and inject my internal mana into her, accelerating her recovery.
“Nng! Ahh, ahng, huuung!!”
Kim Se-in moved fiercely on top of me, so vigorously that I didn't even need to thrust upward. It was hard to believe this was the same woman who had been on the brink of death. She had fully regained her healthy vigor.
Considering how her waist had been crushed under a dozen fallen boulders, her current movements were utterly unbelievable.
“Haaaah!!”
Like she'd been electrocuted, Kim Se-in arched her back sharply for a moment. I could feel her love juices flowing down to my balls. Reaching climax, she collapsed onto me.
She had achieved perfect recovery, and with the freshly injected mana, she brimmed with even greater vitality.
But the sex wasn't over yet. I still hadn't cum.
Grabbing her ass, I began thrusting upward.
“Hak! Ahng! Huung! Haaang!”
Kim Se-in, who had gone limp, started writhing again. We continued in woman-on-top before naturally switching positions. This time, doggy style.
Viewing her body from behind was on another level. Plump ass, slender waist, snow-white skin, long disheveled hair cascading richly. Just looking ignited fresh surges of lust.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
I gripped her ass tightly and pistoned my hips vigorously. Regardless of how it started, I was now completely immersed in sex with her.

“Haa, haa......”
Kim Se-in panted roughly in my arms. Unable to cum inside her, I had released messily on her pristine back and ass, then wiped it clean with a towel. We should have showered, but right now, we both preferred this state. Embracing each other, sharing body heat. In this moment, warm emotions flowed between us like long-time lovers.
After catching her breath in my embrace for a while, Kim Se-in cautiously looked up at my face.
“Who...... are you?”
It was an embarrassing question for both asker and listener. To inquire about each other's identity only after such intense sex.
“I'm Kang Sung-gi. You're Kim Se-in, right?”
“How do you know my name......”
“I heard from the Dungeon Management Office staff. That you'd entered the dungeon alone......”
“Yes. That's right. But then......”
Kim Se-in shuddered, recalling what she'd been through.
“I'm curious about what happened to you, Se-in. But there's no rush—take your time.”
“Okay......”
Kim Se-in grimaced. It wasn't that she intended to keep her ordeal secret. Recalling it was just painful for now.
“I have questions too. A lot of them......”
Naturally. Kim Se-in and I had many secrets to unravel with each other.
“Ask away.”
“First......”
Her brows furrowed. With a voice full of suspicion, she asked me.
“Are you A-rank, Sung-gi? From what I felt......”
“S-rank.”
“Ah!”
Kim Se-in's pupils dilated. It was shocking, understandably. Korea's ten S-rank hunters were all well-known figures. Their numbers and members had been fixed for quite some time. No new S-rank awakenings worldwide—not that people weren't awakening, but once the pyramid's apex was filled, no more appeared. That was the general trend.
“I knew it...... You felt different.”
Kim Se-in gazed at me like I was some mystical being.
“Did you find me in the dungeon?”
“Yes. I couldn't believe it. When I saw you like that, I thought my eyes were playing tricks.”
“So you......”
Kim Se-in hugged me tighter.
“Saved me......”
“At first, I couldn't find a way. I asked experts, but they all said you couldn't be saved. Then I found one possibility......”
“Sex......?”
“Yes......”
Kim Se-in didn't react strongly, as if she'd suspected it.
“That's your ability......”
“Not the whole thing, but an important part. Saving a life with it is a first, though.”
“......I see.”
Blushing, Kim Se-in murmured softly.
“I'm glad. That my first was you, Sung-gi......”
I flinched inwardly but didn't react much. On one hand, it was expected. Even Kim Se-in—this sex with me was her first time.
“Haaaah......”
With that, Kim Se-in let out a long sigh.
“Truthfully, I don't like sharing my personal stories with others. Especially bad ones...... It's even harder with close people.”
I thought, Here it comes. I was dying of curiosity. Why she'd ended up like that in the dungeon.
“But......”
Kim Se-in looked up at me with wistful eyes.
“With you, Sung-gi...... I think I can. No, I must. You saved my life, so you deserve to hear it. From now on, my life is indebted to you.”
If said by someone else at another time, it might have felt heavy. But not now. I was used to how women exposed to Unreasonable Favor reacted to me. Even without her saying it, her future was inevitably tied to mine.
“I......”
Kim Se-in's long tale began. I felt my throat tighten several times while listening but kept my composure till the end.
As expected. Interpreting everything from one person's perspective isn't ideal, but I knew she wasn't lying. Kim Se-in was the unjust victim. She'd gritted her teeth to overcome, only to be betrayed and end up in that wretched state.
She was the leader running the guild. It had been about three years since founding, starting as a fixed party of core members. Guilds cost a fortune to create and operate. Even high-earning hunters couldn't start one without solid assets.
But founding the guild was a shared dream of her and the long-time party members. They pooled money, took on significant debt, and established it. Kim Se-in, with the best skills and leadership, became guild master; the rest operated as vice-guild master equals.
Activities went smoother than expected, steadily growing membership. After over two years, they faced another crossroads: expansion. Unavoidable with the influx, but it ballooned costs—office, gear, operations, staff salaries, bonuses for regular hunters.
Their debt, once shrinking, surged. The typical solution? Sponsorships from corporations or tycoons in exchange for ads and contracts.
Kim Se-in and the founding executives sought that. They pitched everywhere, fielded inquiries, but matching terms was tough.
Then came a mid-tier hunter gear company. Well-known, already sponsoring guilds, so Kim Se-in and members happily signed. Monthly funds plus generous gear—great for a not-so-famous second-year guild.
One odd clause: recruit one specific hunter. The company president's nephew. Decent-looking, fitting a needed role, so despite unease, they onboarded him.
After that, the guild soared. Outpacing peers founded around the same time. They believed everything would keep going right.
“Haaaah.......”
Kim Se-in sighed after recounting that far.
