Chapter 25 - EP.25 Dungeon Clear, A Small Proposal (18+)
EP.25 Dungeon Clear, A Small Proposal
Hara, who had been aimlessly drawing her webtoon, let out a deep sigh.
She went to the bed and looked down at the sleeping Ikhyun.
The man who had been helping her with all his might until just now. Her one and only prince.
She was confused right now.
No matter how much she thought about it, the changes happening to her were strange.
'Why am I like this? It feels like I'm changing seriously. Other things aside. How could I do that outside...!'
She was perplexed.
Her love for Ikhyun was sincere. That wouldn't change no matter what anyone said.
But recently when having sex, vulgar words she didn't mean would pop out.
Plus, shaking her hips like a female submitting to affection.
'I'm not that kind of person. Did I not know myself? No, that can't be!'
She was very confused.
But she thought it was just a change coming from liking Ikhyun.
'Ikhyun, as long as you stay by my side. I could even turn into a monster. I love you, my man.'
Hara smiled as she stroked the sleeping Ikhyun's cheek.
Her usual pure smile.
She lay down next to Ikhyun and closed her eyes.
***
A new day dawned in the one-room apartment.
After breakfast, I stayed by Hara's side constantly.
The one-room definitely has a more sophisticated feel than the apartment.
Even while engrossed in drawing her webtoon, Hara kept looking back at me.
I just answered with a smile.
"Hmm."
"Noona, what is it?"
"Nothing."
"Aha, you want this? Energy recharge!"
I approached her and kissed her right away. Hara was surprised but naturally accepted me.
I inserted my tongue deeper.
Our tongues met cautiously then soon entwined like snakes.
Skinship that feels unfamiliar at first, but gradually becomes familiar.
We were busy marking each other's territory by smearing each other's saliva.
After frantically exploring each other's tongues, Hara quickly finished up. She was embarrassed.
"Mmm!"
"Noona, why are you so cute?"
"Geez, you've changed too, Ikhyun."
"Me?"
"You're totally like a puppy younger boyfriend!"
Huh, is that so?
I usually think of myself as a wolf. Even in the military, my juniors said I was like a wolf.
I even exercised alone.
Hara must see me differently. Well, this is good too.
"That's an honor?"
I pressed my body closer.
Hara made a crying face.
"Hiing, Ikhyun. Can't you go out for a bit?"
"Why? Do you dislike me?"
"That's not it! I like having you by my side all day. But I need to draw my webtoon too."
"Okay, draw."
"That's not what I mean. Just touching you makes me want to have sex."
"Then should we do it?"
"Uuuu, that's not what I meaaan!"
I smirked watching Hara get angry.
This kind of teasing is nice too.
Actually, I knew.
That for Hara, her webtoon was a precious dream.
I want to stay by her side constantly.
But I didn't want to disturb her.
I shrugged and got up.
"Okay, I have somewhere to go anyway."
"Really?"
"Yeah, there might be a lot of women though."
"Huh? Wait. What did you just say?!"
Hara suddenly got serious and grabbed my arm.
She just told me to go out but now she's acting like the official wife right away.
"Jo, king! Joke, joke! Hihi."
"What the... Don't do that!"
"Okay, I'm going to a dungeon."
"Come back safely?"
"Yeah! Will you be okay, noona?"
"Of course. If anything, maybe I'll play an adult game while thinking of Ikhyun?"
Hara's eyes drew arcs and shone.
She was really seductive.
"What? Kuk!"
"Joke, joke♥"
"You really surprised me. Then I'll be going. My woman!"
Hara kissed my cheek.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
This alone was the best buff.
I went out of the room.
Actually, I wanted to do something for Hara.
It would be nice if I could at least give her a gift. Sigh.
'Since the new main quest came out around lunchtime yesterday, will this main quest end around early evening?'
As I was about to go to the corridor, I heard people talking.
The voices got closer.
'It's a bit awkward to run into them here.'
What to do.
Right, I went to the nearby emergency exit.
I went up to the roof of the one-room building.
I pushed open the iron door.
It was surprisingly clean here.
It seemed like people had cleaned up.
This worked out well. This place will do!
'There's something I want to experiment with!'
I stood at the edge of the roof and slowly tilted my body forward.
Then I fell.
You think it's a stupid thing to do? No.
I activated my shadow ability.
Swoosh!
I felt like I was melting into the shadow and slowly falling downwards. It felt like time was flowing slowly just for me.
'Wow, this is possible anywhere there's a shadow?'
It felt like I had eaten the angel fruit from a certain pirate manga.
I fell slowly and landed safely. It felt good.
First I headed in the opposite direction from where the house was.
Soon a mountain appeared.
It was a familiar hiking trail.
'I used to come here often to exercise before going to the military.'
How hard it was. I climbed a lot because there was a lot of talk about doing cardio.
But a dungeon in a place like this?
As I continued along the hiking trail, I saw an unfamiliar path open up on the side.
Going there, I came across a place that looked like a crudely made tent out of trees.
As I approached, a dungeon window popped up.
[Outskirts Maze]
-Composition: Maze, 1 floor
-Difficulty: ★2
-Objective: Secure item
-Reward: 1000DP, All stats +5
※Main composition: Feral Hounds, Wild Wolves
The difficulty increased by one star compared to before.
I'm not sure if it's a big difference. Let's go in and see.
I went in just like that.
As I took out my club and gun, I saw three entrances in front of me.
The form of a dungeon you'd see in games.
After thinking for a bit.
'No matter which entrance I take, there's only one exit. Then the middle!'
A man should go straight ahead.
Going to the middle, I saw monsters about the size of large dogs and wolves with manes that looked like mustaches.
They discovered me and raised their heads, their eyes shining white.
Awoooo!
They all howled at once.
There were only two of them.
About ten more were added behind them.
"A group attack is troublesome. I'll thin you out a bit?"
I fed a bullet to the face of the monster that howled first.
Bang!
[Victory!]
[Gained 300 Desire Points (DP)!]
Instant death.
The monsters got excited and growled.
It looked like they would all pounce at any moment. This would be disadvantageous for me, but.
[Revive Corpse]
I immediately revived the one I killed.
This skill is surprisingly good.
The range is fucking long.
In this gap, five of them rushed at me.
And the one I was pointing at calmly got up.
The rest who were about to rush in were flustered seeing their dead comrade.
Kahak!
Soon the revived one attacked the surrounding monsters.
It bit them mercilessly as if they weren't former comrades.
Their formation was broken.
'This is what I was aiming for!'
I smirked and fired suppressing shots with my gun.
If they got close, I beat them to death with my club. I felt like Heracles from Greek and Roman mythology.
As gunshots rang out, corpses fell over in shock.
When I swung my club, corpses were crushed without even being able to scream.
"More, more! Focus on me more!"
I like the hostility they show.
I like their bared teeth shining white.
I just liked everything.
The fear of what if I receive a fatal wound and die.
And the joy of victory enjoying the fight itself were busy caressing each other.
I saw ones about to pounce after killing the revived corpse.
I used my shadow ability.
After hiding, I appeared behind them.
I beat them to death with my club.
Then I disappeared and reappeared, sweeping them all away with one gunshot.
'The points are so sweet!'
Shall we look at the rewards?
[Reward Selection!]
Agility Stat +1Wild Wolf's SettingSharp Fangs (Beginner)
[Reward Selection!]
Feral Hound's Inherent SettingAgility Stat +1
[Reward Selection!]
Feral Hound's Inherent SettingInnate Sense of Smell (Beginner)
...
The reward status isn't good.
Should I start skipping low-level monster rewards?
'Still, let's eat up the stats.'
Thanks to that, I frugally collected Agility stats. I kept moving forward.
Kill them when they rush in, revive corpses to fight together if needed.
I kept repeating this and arrived at a dead end.
It feels like this is the end.
Why is there nothing?
'No, shouldn't there be something? Is it hidden maybe?'
In Souls-like games there's that kind of thing.
There's always a secret wall you have to hit to reveal treasure.
If they did something shitty like that, I'll curse the Celestial Horse Demon King.
You have to hit every wall!
Or dig the ground with your hands.
This was a disaster.
'Coming all this way just to do manual labor?'
It was troublesome. Do I have to do something here that I didn't even do in the military?
Just as I was thinking that.
[The merit of an eroded minion has been conveyed!]
[Obtained ability 'Wide Area Detection'!]
[Wide Area Detection (Beginner)]
Description: Illuminates everything within a 500m radius. Finds dungeons/secret realms.
※Consumes 50 MP per activation.
I wondered what was going on suddenly.
The merit of a minion? Someone who serves me... Ah, there is.
'Je So-eun or Lee Sol-ji.'
What did they do for me to receive a skill?
To guess simply, did one of those two kill a player while fighting?
'Let's exclude Sol-ji for now.'
She's trash.
Then it's So-eun.
But So-eun shouldn't be able to go outside right now.
'Did some stupid bastard go into So-eun's house and get in trouble?'
That makes sense. What a pathetic bastard.
Thanks to that, I saved some effort. Kueok.
By the way, look at that mana consumption.
I bought mana potions from the shop and chugged them. I activated it.
[Wide Area Detection]
One side of the wall shone transparently then disappeared.
A place with just one treasure chest sitting alone was revealed.
"Whew, this must be the objective and reward."
The teamwork of the monsters on the way here was impressive.
But thanks to reviving corpses, I was able to break that for a moment.
It's a skill worth the mana cost.
I smirked and opened the treasure chest with shadow tentacles.
A ring came out.
[Hundred Years of Marriage]
Rarity: Unique
*Unique Continuous Effect 'Mental Singularity': Recover 5 MP per second. Not affected by mental interference.
*Unique Continuous Effect 'Intelligent Health': Not affected by diseases.
*Unique Continuous Effect 'Geass of Love': Only admire the person you truly love. Forever.

「A ring to connect Montague and Capulet. Unfortunately, in the original timeline... -Observer」
'Hmm, it's good but I don't need it right now?'
It was disappointing.
But the appearance changed to various colors depending on the viewing angle.
It also seemed like a suitable size for a woman to wear. Oh, then that's good.
'I should give it to noona!'
Since I'd get nervous if I propose seriously. I should give it to her while proposing lightly in passing.
I left the dungeon. I ran after receiving the reward.
Thanks to my increased Agility stat, I could run as if flying.
'If I add acceleration to this? Kya.'
But I didn't overdo it.
I only used skills when necessary and returned to the room.
When I returned to the one-room, Hara came running to greet me.
"You're back? I just heard people walking around!"
"You didn't open the door, did you?"
"No. You're the only one for me."
I found her admirable anew.
I immediately handed her the ring.
"Noona, I like you. As expected, the place by my side seems to be for you."
"Oh my, what's this? It's pretty!"
"I thought it would suit you. Ahem, haha."
"...What, it's not like you're proposing. Fufu."
"Th-that's something I do every day? Hmm."
"You really can't say it properly! Thank you. And I love you♥"
We smiled at each other.
And we kissed. Very deeply.
'A notification? No, not now.'
Ignoring the notification appearing in mid-air.
I hugged her tightly.
