“Everyone, final check!”
“You there, check the potion count one more time!”
The Fire Bird Guild was bustling with activity from the early morning.
Today alone, two teams were heading out to conquer dungeons.
Guild members moved between teams, checking the hunters’ equipment and making final preparations for the subjugation.
Normally, they wouldn’t pay this much attention.
Dungeon subjugation was a routine matter, and there was no need for such elaborate preparations.
But this time was different.
From hunters to administrative staff, everyone was involved, personally inspecting the equipment of each hunter.
The two teams heading out to conquer dungeons today.
The problem lay with the two team leaders who commanded them.
Both team leaders were children of the Guild Leader.
They were son Woojin Jeong and daughter Yerin Jeong.
It was unlikely, but if anything happened to either of them, the guild’s atmosphere would undoubtedly fall into despair.
Everyone was preparing diligently, perhaps fearing that the fallout might affect them.
Yerin Jeong was also making thorough preparations before heading out for the dungeon subjugation.
As she prepared, she thought of the person she had spoken with a while ago.
‘…Kanghyeon Lee.’
He was the man who had provided her with information about the Goblin Lord.
If what he said was true, the Goblin Lord was not a difficult opponent.
In fact, with caution, it was no different from a monster anyone could defeat.
However, perhaps due to the fear of it being an A-rank monster, no one had sought detailed information about the Goblin Lord.
Instead, the top hunters had simply engaged in a head-on battle, while those below them chose to avoid the Goblin Lord.
That was certainly the case.
‘He was different.’
Kanghyeon Lee was completely different.
He didn’t follow the paths others took. Rather, she felt from their conversation at the time that he meant to forge his own path.
‘If everything he said about this dungeon turns out to be true….’
It could overturn the internal dynamics of the guild.
To achieve that.
‘I must bring him in. Unconditionally.’
No matter what conditions were presented, Kanghyeon Lee had to be recruited.
As she was thinking that.
“Yerin Jeong.”
Someone called her.
She knew who was calling, but she ignored him.
Even though they were siblings, they weren’t on good terms, so she chose this method.
“Hah, how dare you ignore your older brother? You’ve grown quite a bit.”
Yerin Jeong continued to ignore him.
After all, even if she saw Woojin Jeong now, it would be hard to feel any good emotions.
Woojin Jeong unleashed a torrent of abuse for a while, then grumbled and returned to his seat.
Only then did Yerin Jeong look at his retreating back.
‘Bastard….’
Woojin Jeong held the position of overseeing personnel and dungeon management within the guild.
This meant that he was the one who had assigned the Goblin Lord dungeon to her.
He had likely assigned it knowing that she and her team could never defeat an A-rank monster.
‘…If this mission is successfully completed, I have to give something to Kanghyeon.’
If she succeeded in the subjugation, Kanghyeon Lee was no different from her benefactor.
She planned to give him as many rewards as possible.
Failure in this subjugation meant a pointless death. Even if she returned alive, her standing within the guild would diminish.
Therefore, a reversal was necessary.
Furthermore, Woojin Jeong’s insidious plan wasn’t just this.
He had also prepared for a dungeon subjugation on the same day she was entering the Goblin Lord dungeon.
His intentions were obvious.
‘The plan is for me to fail and him to succeed.’
The more she thought about it, the more it annoyed her.
‘I hope you get taken by an Incubus.’
Yerin Jeong inwardly cursed that unlucky guy.
Then she shouted to her team members.
“Let’s start moving.”
Even with countermeasures, the actual battle was different.
“Everyone, remember what I said! Only follow my instructions!”
Therefore, she firmly warned her team members.
‘It’s a long haul anyway.’
Even if it took days, Yerin Jeong intended to subjugate the dungeon.
* * *
Yerin Jeong departed for the dungeon subjugation.
Woojin Jeong watched her leave the Fire Bird Guild.
It was now his turn to depart.
Woojin Jeong felt confident about this dungeon subjugation.
The place he was going to was a B-rank dungeon.
Reconnaissance had already been completed perfectly.
The result was that there were no Succubi, only Incubi.
This was certain information, as reconnaissance teams had been sent multiple times.
In fact, frequent reconnaissance was not good, as some monsters had sentience.
If the monsters observed such actions and responded, the difficulty of dungeon subjugation would increase.
However, in this dungeon, only Incubi existed.
‘This is a walk in the park.’
The Incubi’s charm only affects women. Therefore, his team was composed entirely of men.
No matter how the Incubi responded, there was nothing to fear.
Since their abilities wouldn’t work, at best they would respond head-on.
Woojin Jeong smiled as he thought this.
‘Let’s go, get it done, and then rest.’
Starting today, he would soar.
One person would fail the dungeon subjugation, and the other would succeed.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
Of course, Woojin Jeong was confident that he would be the one to succeed.
* * *
The dungeon gate opened.
“Everyone, stay sharp!”
Woojin Jeong urged his team members from behind.
Even if the Incubi’s abilities didn’t work, they couldn’t avoid physical damage.
Woojin Jeong yelled at his team members.
“Everyone be alert! They will definitely come at us head-on!”
Inside the Incubus Dungeon, it was very quiet.
The dungeon walls were made of white marble, with ornate patterns carved into them.
The serene and dark atmosphere made the interior appear pale.
Everyone moved forward cautiously and slowly.
“Team Leader, I hear a sound.”
“Shh!”
Woojin Jeong quickly brought his finger to his lips.
Listening carefully, he could hear laughter coming from the end of the passage.
‘What is it?’
There was nothing but the laughter.
“…….”
That laughter sounded like the devil’s whisper, seducing them.
What would be at the end of it?
Hope?
Perhaps darkness and danger lurked instead of hope, but their steps did not falter.
For some reason, they felt compelled to move forward.
Although they didn’t know where this unknown path would lead, they felt a strange excitement.
“…….”
They slowly followed the devil’s whisper.

The central area of the Incubus Dungeon.
Celia sat on a luxurious chair in the center.
“This tingling sensation, it feels so good! What is this called?”
Celia drank something and then exclaimed.
Then, an Incubus, serving her, immediately replied.
It was Azmo, the master of this dungeon and the leader of the Incubi.
“Yes, Celia-nim. This is a drink called Cola. We obtained it from a hunter who entered last time.”
“Cola… Certainly, Earth is a good place. I liked it. Next time, I must suggest to Master that we conquer this place too.”
Celia placed the finished drink on the tray that Azmo was holding.
Then she picked up a new drink.
“Oh, I thought it wasn’t ordinary, but the one who is Master is truly amazing!”
Azmo was genuinely impressed.
When Celia first appeared, he thought an incredibly powerful being had descended.
But upon hearing about the existence of a Master who treated her like a mere subordinate, he was horrified.
‘Just how powerful could that person be?’
According to Celia’s words alone.
She said that the nations of other dimensions were already under Master’s feet.
‘Indeed, the world is vast.’
If the Succubus before him wasn’t from another dimension, they would have formed an alliance.
Azmo felt it was a great pity.
‘Yes, it’s enough that they are helping us like this.’
Azmo thought this and diligently served Celia.
“Ah, the guests have finally arrived?”
Celia spoke, pausing her drinking of the cola.
As Celia finished speaking, the hunters slowly began to walk from the passage.
‘Suddenly…!’
Seeing them, Azmo was astonished.
All the hunters were already under the spell of charm.
A normal Succubus would never be able to do this.
‘The more I see, the more amazing she is.’
Celia used her powers to brainwash all the hunters from a distance.
They were already subjugated to her.
Not only that.
With a single gesture from Celia, they all began to lay down the equipment and clothes they were wearing on the floor.
“You mentioned that Incubi don’t discriminate by gender, right?”
Azmo nodded his head.
Celia’s words were true.
Originally, Incubi target women, but hunters were cunning.
Looking at them now, weren’t all the hunters men?
This was because they knew that the Incubi’s abilities didn’t work on men, so they intentionally matched the gender.
This presented a problem.
Even if they repelled the hunters, they couldn’t absorb their vital energy.
Ultimately, for their survival, they chose a strategy of taking anyone, regardless of gender.
“Thanks to the great Celia-nim, the task has been made easier.”
The hunters were already naked.
Furthermore, due to Celia’s abilities, they were all succumbing to their lust.
“You are too kind. All of this is according to Master’s will.”
Celia said this and pointed to the equipment the hunters had discarded.
“Ah, would it be alright if I took the equipment of those fellows?”
“Of course. All of this was accomplished by Celia-nim. We will simply follow Celia-nim’s will.”
Azmo bowed respectfully.
Then, clapping his hands, he ordered the remaining Incubi to collect the equipment.
All the equipment was placed into a single inventory.
“The Inventory Artifact is my token of gratitude. I hope to meet the great Celia-nim again someday…”
As the mission was completed, the surrounding space distorted.
Everything that needed to be done in this dungeon was finished.
Celia entrusted herself to the distorted space, bidding farewell to Azmo.
“…….”
The Incubus Dungeon interior, after Celia’s departure.
The flames adorning the walls danced and then scattered.
A calm darkness settled over the space.
That darkness was filled with the sweetness of perfume.
Against the backdrop of sweetness, Incubi approached the hunters with dignified postures.
Like gentlemen offering their hands to their lovers.
The long night of temptation had begun.
