The Dungeon's Expansion and Elisa's Demise
The protagonist hears Seongha's explanation and feels more relief than worry.
To make the dungeon safer and stronger, facility expansions and improvements are necessary, but without knowledge, it's impossible.
For me, who lacks knowledge and talent in architecture or civil engineering, this function is incredibly convenient.
I was amazed at the thought of doing everything with my own hands, but if I can achieve all this with a single gesture, it's practically a scam.
The problem is.
'All of dungeon expansion, facility expansion, trap installation, and mercenary hiring require paying money.'
Dungeon Expansion: Expanding the dungeon's scale by increasing the number of rooms. Rooms are divided into small, medium, large, and special sizes.
Facility Expansion: Creating new facilities in the dungeon such as blacksmith, smelting room, maze, recovery room, prison, training room, playground, etc.
Trap Installation: Placing traps in dungeon rooms. Can turn the entire room into a trap room or modify only part of it.
Mercenary Hiring: Paying money to turn monsters into mercenaries. Advantages: Can hire various types of monsters and quickly increase manpower if money is available. Disadvantages: Must pay maintenance costs during the hiring period, and loyalty is lower than for subordinates. Even hired monsters can be promoted to subordinates by raising affection, but that's a future matter.
[Yes.]
The protagonist examines the details of the four categories and slowly frowns.
'The cheapest trap installation is 500G? The cheapest mercenary is 800G and there's separate maintenance cost?'
Among the categories, trap installation and mercenary hiring are the most affordable in terms of amount.
Dungeon expansion and facility expansion start from at least 1000G for the cheapest ones.
'Hah... even in this world, it's money in the end. In my previous life, I was fed up with that damn money too.'
[No need to worry. If there's nothing, just take it. Thinking that way, the things scattered around are all currency.]
The protagonist feels like being hit with a hammer on the head.
'So, if I just take it, it's everywhere. I was still trapped in my previous life's thinking. Thanks for correcting me.'
[... No.]
Without currency, even if I learn new things about the dungeon, I can't do anything right away.
The only thing I can do now is keep creating new monsters.
I have to endure for now.
Of course, I have no intention of waiting for free.
I plan to spend time enjoying the captured humans appropriately.

"Karlson, is there still no news about my daughter Elisa?"
"Ugh..."
Karlson feels heavy-hearted upon hearing the couple's plea at the guard post.
Elisa, a resident of the village, has been missing for several weeks.
No trace of her leaving the village was found, but since no body was discovered inside, it was presumed she disappeared from outside.
After receiving the missing report, a search party was organized to search inside the village and surroundings, but she was not found.
Not even her body.
Since it's a small village, Karlson also knows about Elisa.
She was a kind and pure girl.
Although she was an adult by age, in Karlson's eyes who had watched her since she was a child, she still looked like a child.
Thinking that such a girl might have been abused somewhere made Karlson's heart heavy.
"Sorry..."
The only thing Karlson can do is apologize to the couple.
"Uhh..."
Upon Karlson's answer, Elisa's mother collapses, and her husband consoles her.
Watching that scene, Karlson is lost in deep thoughts.
Elisa's disappearance.
Belton's death and the disappearance of the family somewhere.
Recalling the recent mysterious incidents that occurred in the village, Karlson keeps worrying about the forest outside the village.
'Is something in that forest taking the village people? Or perhaps... monsters?'
No clear evidence or context.
But suspicion is there.
That's why.
'I need to send a search party to the forest.'
His thoughts are heavy.

After capturing three new women and several weeks pass.
"Mine! Get away!!"
"Coward! Mom just ate!!"
"Me too!!"
Three women grabbing the belly and rushing to his penis with desperate desire.
Two daughters and the mom.
When he inserts his penis, the woman who was showing beautiful maternal love to the daughters a short time ago pushes them aside and offers her face to his penis.
On the other hand, the two daughters grab each other's hair and shout with angry voices that they want his penis first.
After several births, like Elisa, they are mentally depleted and start relying on his semen.
They have lost all hope, forget reality, and show ugly dependence on pregnancy addiction and semen.
They no longer have human nobility.
No motherhood, no sisterly love.
Only the ugly struggle to forget the daily vicious life remains.
"Huk..."
"Chup, mine... heu..."
"Give, give... hehe..."
Three women with swollen bellies kneeling in front of him are sucking his penis from all sides.
They are desperate to ingest the semen with aphrodisiac effect.
They even spit out the semen in their mouth and put it in their vagina with their own hands to induce birth.
Looking at the scene that doesn't tire him no matter how many times he sees it, the protagonist says.
[Maybe the dungeon will be discovered by the village humans soon. I have to strike first.]
Even if traces are wiped, bringing many women from the village.
The village surrounded on three sides can only suspect the forest that allows outsiders.
As per the words, the dungeon's existence will be revealed to the village residents in time.
After several weeks, the number of monsters born from the semen poured into the women's bodies in the dungeon is 18.
The number of monsters has increased, but it's still not enough to occupy the village with this number.
'If it's an attack, there is a way, but...'
Using the tunnel Elisa told about to secretly enter the village is possible.
But that method has many variables.
Although I have information about the village, it's only theoretical, and even if I enter secretly, if discovered by the guards, it becomes a problem.
'If I can enter the village, observe the structure, and do pre-work, the variables can be reduced...'
Entering the village with the monster's body frontally is impossible, and even if I enter secretly, I can't act without being seen by the villagers.
'What to do?'
While pondering, Elisa who seems to have become one with the dungeon appears leaning on the wall.
"......"
Elisa, pulling off the attached monster cocks, deliberately shows her penis and approaches her.
But the response is silent.
Her dead-like eyes don't even look at him.
Honestly, she's like a corpse now.
Though somewhat emaciated, not malnourished.
According to the information from Seongha, his semen is full of nutrients, and just eating it can extend life.
Elisa's mind reached its limit and died.
Although her body can still give birth, he doesn't feel like thrusting his penis into such a corpse.
'Since there's no meaning in leaving it as is, I'll feed it to the monsters.'
Coolly reviews Elisa's last moments.
Captive Elisa has met a mental death.
Captive Elisa has met a physical limit.
Feels dull seeing the known facts pop up again on the window.
Then:
-[ All conditions for Mimicry skill satisfied. ]
-[ Mimicry skill acquired. ]
Additional window pops up with wide eyes.
'Skill?'
【 Skill: Mimicry 】
- 【 Proficiency: ★ 】
- 【 Description: Absorb and mimic a living organism whose body and mind have reached limits in the dungeon. Can imitate the body, memories, personality, etc. of the absorbed organism for a limited time. However, restrictions exist depending on proficiency. 】
- 【 Restriction conditions: Cannot mimic personality / Cannot absorb memories / Can maintain body for 4 hours 】
As conditions met, the face that was pondering gradually relaxes.
'With this skill, I can enter the village on foot?'
Transform the existence called me into not a monster but a same human, same village resident, as female Elisa.
[Has the worry been resolved?]
'Yes.'
To the excited answer, Seongha seems to smile silently.
Then strokes the head of Elisa with dead eyes.
Then she slightly raises her head and looks at him.
When eyes meet, she instinctively opens her dry lips.
"Uh... m, ma... tteu..."
The last words.
Her split voice senses her end and says.
Her last words: Mom and Dad.
"Your body, until the end, I'll take care of it well."
Brings lips to Elisa's ear and says.
The unclear words have clearer pronunciation than before.
"Soon, Mom and Dad, you'll see."
A quiet sentence, her hand twitches slightly.
"Wait first."
"Ah..."
Her lips that were about to say something close.
One line of tears remaining flows down her cheek.
Mimicry
-[ Mimicry skill activated. ]
Elisa's body begins to seep into the dungeon.
The existence called her starts to be absorbed into his body.
