Chapter 76: Paju Hazard Management Zone"Uuugh..."
Seo-ah shook her head.
She seemed deeply conflicted.
"Seo-ah?"
Su-a called her sister's name.
But Seo-ah avoided meeting Su-a's eyes.
She acted like a guilty criminal, refusing to make eye contact with her sister.
The internal conflict between me and Su-a had begun tearing her apart.
After a long moment of hesitation, Seo-ah tightly shut her eyes and walked toward me.
"Seo-ah?"
Su-a called her younger sister's name again.
But the youngest sibling didn't respond to her sister's call.
I removed the gag from Seo-ah's mouth.
Her lips were finally free.
"I'm sorry... unnie. I can't live without The Monster anymore."
Seo-ah threw herself into my embrace.
"Seo-ah?"
Su-a's eyes widened.
She asked again as if she'd misheard.
But Seo-ah paid no attention to her sister's call.
Instead-
"Looks like your little sister has chosen me?"
I swallowed Seo-ah whole.
Her small body disappeared inside me.
"Seo-ah!"
A panicked Su-a rushed forward.
She grabbed her sister's hand and tried to pull her out.
"Unnie, I'm sorry for dragging you into this. The truth is... The Monster is why my grades improved recently."
Seo-ah shook off her hand.
As if ashamed, she burrowed deeper into me while confessing the truth.
She confessed everything that had happened until now.
All the secrets she couldn't share due to dishonesty came pouring out.
I gave the sisters space to bare their hearts.
I released my mimicry form.
Su-a was swallowed up too.
Noises of argument echoed from within my body.
I didn't participate in their conversation.
"Hngk!"
"Haah!"
Waiting quietly grew boring, so I occasionally teased the sisters with tentacles.
Their screams leaked outside my body.
How much time had passed?
The moans had finally stopped.
I extracted both sisters.
The two emerged completely drenched in semen and love juice.
Yet their clasped hands refused to separate, as if swearing never to let go.
The two sisters who couldn't be honest finally understood each other in my embrace.
A heartwarming scene.
I smiled.
"What a lovely sight."
Truly heartwarming.
Seeing this, I smiled again.
*****
Keeeeee!!!
The monsters went berserk.
They clutched papers and raged.
The papers were a type of Magic Ticket.
Below the spectator seats, a group of women huddled together.
All were bitches gathered for today's race.
"Didn't expect any self-awareness to remain."
This was unexpected.
I thought their egos would be completely erased under my clone's control.
But contrary to my expectations, the monsters' self-awareness wasn't fully deleted.
They became stressed and inefficient.
So I created this horse racing event for regular stress relief.
This could well be called a Human-Horse Race.
Bitches racing like horses.
Of course, I didn't let my personal bitches participate.
A structure where monsters receive dividends from the winning bitch.
Monsters resembled humans in their stress-relief methods.
"They'll start running when I blow the whistle!"
Hah-yul, serving as referee, shouted.
The bitches said something to her, but Hah-yul thought this was all a fun game.
"Yes, it'll be super fun! Okay, let's begin!"
Whooosh.
Thanks to the microphone, the sound reached the spectator seats.
My ears rang from the whistle blown directly into the mic.
The initially clustered bitches seemed to grasp the situation as time passed.
They began rushing forward one by one.
"Whooosh. Race over!"
Kreeeeek.
Monsters whose Magic Tickets became scrap paper raged.
They jumped down from the spectator seats.
And vented their anger on the bitches.
"Is it The Monster now?"
"No... Someone help..."
Monsters surrounded the losers.
A gang rape commenced.
Before they could voice complaints, cocks were shoved into their mouths.
"Please maintain order. If too many crowd in, The Monster-nim will get angry."
Hah-yul stepped forward to control the monsters.
Though driven mad, my influence made them form orderly lines.
Thanks to my clones' power, the monsters didn't dare touch Hah-yul who bore my mark.
"There now, no running away. Just wait your turn."
The losers were bound with restraints.
Hands and heads tied, they were left at the plaza's center.
Any damaged parts would be repaired by the improved Healing Slime.
'This is fun. Making it a proper sport could be interesting.'
Sitting in the spectator seats, I became lost in thought.
Surprisingly entertaining.
Now I understood why people got addicted to horse racing and gambling.
'Should I create a Bitch Cart Race next? Maybe build a Six-Change Toilet too?'
Entertaining sports came to mind.
Unique events only possible in my kingdom.
'But I'd need to expand the dungeon for that?'
To realize these ideas, the dungeon needed doubling in size.
More space for monsters, additional cultivation facilities.
I couldn't grasp how much expansion was needed.
At minimum, several times larger.
'Should I go overseas?'
But materials for dungeon expansion-Dimensional Gates-were scarce.
Because I'd devoured every visible Gate for mergers.
News outlets clamored about precursor symptoms, but
the real cause was my actions.
No Gates appeared because I'd merged every one I found.
"No need to expand further."
A good idea struck me.
No need to hunt Gates overseas.
A place existed for stable prey and monster procurement.
Paju Hazard Management Zone.
An unfathomable space of endless mystery.
That place would exceed my requirements.
*****
"Haa, when will I escape this place?"
Jeong Na-in sighed.
Over two years had passed.
Stuck at E-Rank all this time.
Former colleagues had long escaped the management zone.
"Haa, lucky them. That person..."
Her eyes caught a certain figure.
Someone who started like her but quickly grew strong enough to leave the hazard zone.
Name... Yoo Seol-hwa?
She heard this former F-Grade Hunter rapidly improved to escape.
Though her guild collapsed unexpectedly, that posed no obstacle for her skills.
Multiple guilds must be courting her now.
Yet she'd never heard of her switching guilds.
Out of loyalty to her former guild master.
'Such loyalty... and such talent...'
Na-in sighed internally.
Seol-hwa surpassed her in character, skill, and talent.
She felt ashamed of her complacent past self.
Should've tried harder...
As self-loathing consumed her-
"Would you like to party with me?"
Her head jerked up.
The object of her envy stood before her, offering a party invitation.
"Huh? Why... me of all people?"
Na-in questioned.
She possessed no outstanding qualities.
"Ah, this is secret-but I found a dungeon inside the hazard zone? So I'm recruiting party members."
Seol-hwa whispered.
Sharing a great secret with Na-in.
"But... should I really go? I'll just be a burden..."
Na-in felt intimidated.
A dungeon within the hazard zone.
Equivalent to the legendary Dungeon within a Dungeon.
As a secretly hidden dungeon, its danger level was extreme.
No place for an E-Rank like her.
"It's fine. The dungeon's at the outermost area. Not too dangerous. And my teammate's coming too. She's as skilled as me. You absolutely won't die, Na-in-nim."
Seol-hwa pointed to her companion behind.
Someone Na-in recognized from TV.
One of the five who shone during the global emergency Dimensional Gate incident.
The Daughter of the Sword Empress with exceptional skills.
Though only two members, the promise of just scouting the entrance hooked her.
'If I think of it as gaining experience...'
An incredible opportunity.
She might learn something from these elite Hunters.
Blinded by greed, she missed the suspicious details.
"Alright. I'll do it..."
She accepted.
"Great. We leave immediately."
"Now?"
"Yes, now. It's at the periphery. Others might discover it. We need to hurry for the treasure chests and-"
Seol-hwa pressed urgently.
She claimed to have glimpsed countless treasure chests inside.
Seol-hwa displayed weapons from those chests.
They boasted mastercraft quality.
"Ah, understood. I'll follow right away."
Na-in followed Seol-hwa.
Her previous party had dissolved, leaving no commitments.
She followed Seol-hwa with an easy mind.
