“Wow. So that’s what real money purchases are like.”
The subordinate officer, who was initially 3-star, became 6-star.
Even her appearance had changed in many ways.
Her messy silver long hair became sleek. The black horns that slightly protruded on both sides of her head grew longer and larger, extending below her ears.
When she was 3-star, her face had a somewhat anxious expression, but now she looked relaxed. Her relaxation even seemed to have increased her charm.
I made her 4-star through the first 5,900 won package. Then, a new 15,900 won 5-star synthesis package appeared, and I purchased that as well.
After making her 5-star.
As expected. A package to make her 6-star appeared again.
The difference this time was that the price was quite high.
‘59,000 won.’
It seemed like the developer of this game was truly crazy about money.
Normally, I would have just closed the game, but I bought it as if possessed.
And the result was the dungeon subordinate officer, who became 6-star.
Since it was a real money purchase, I was satisfied with the result.
Her initially unremarkable stats suddenly increased, and a list of skills was added.
With these specs, she could not only defend the dungeon but also fend off the Paladins of the Church, couldn’t she?
The difference between 3-star and 6-star was that great.
“Just how strong is 6-star?”
If we were to compare it to Earth standards, it would be similar to an S-rank monster.
As hunters who traveled between Earth and the El Dorado Continent began to emerge, a general estimate was created.
1-star was considered F-rank to E-rank on Earth.
2-star was D-rank.
3-star was C-rank.
4-star was B-rank.
5-star was A-rank.
After that, since they were not common monsters, only rough estimates were made.
Usually, 6-star was estimated to be S-rank.
However, S-rank monsters were truly rare, not only on the continent but also on Earth.
And even fewer hunters reached S-rank.
“Still, it’s easier to think of her as an S-rank Succubus.”
The only regrettable thing was that I bought a dungeon concealment item early on.
Thanks to that, the dungeon’s location would be hidden for a week, so there wouldn’t be any invaders for now.
If I had known I would become this strong from the start, I regretted not buying it.
While licking my lips and briefly looking at the game interface, a window popped up.
I wondered if the developer would pop up another package again, but this time it was a different window.
– Subordinate Officer ‘Celia Ishar’ expresses her gratitude to Master.
– Subordinate Officer ‘Celia Ishar’ cautiously asks if she may ask Master’s name.
A text field appeared along with the text.
“My name?”
Last time I named the dungeon, was I naming myself this time?
This time, my deliberation was not long.
I was lazy to name her, and no suitable name came to mind.
I wrote my name directly in the input field.
‘My name is.’
– Kanghyeon Lee
After writing my name.
– ‘Celia Ishar’ is delighted to hear Master’s name.
– Loyalty 100 achieved.
– Loyalty has exceeded the maximum. ‘Celia Ishar’ will now obey any command from Master.
“There’s a system like this too?”
I felt good that her loyalty had reached the maximum from the start.
This must also be the power of real money purchases.
By the way, she will obey any command?
Celia Ishar, she’s too long, so I should shorten it to Celia.
Anyway, she showed me loyalty.
“This is what a subordinate officer should be. Yes.”
For now, there was nothing to order.
There were no intruders in the dungeon, and since it was the beginning, there wasn’t much content to enjoy.
“Is it something like an idle game?”
A slight doubt arose, but since it was like this, I decided to end the game here.
Ah, before that.
“You manage the dungeon on your own.”
There were various action items in the sub-officer setting tab, so I clicked on ‘Dungeon Management’ and ‘Dungeon Guardian’ and activated them.
The subordinate officer nodded with a pleased expression and started moving around the dungeon.
The dungeon was at most a small, cozy cave, but it could be expanded in the future.
After a while, I pressed the exit button and closed my eyes.
After a moment of thought.
“Since I’m back on Earth after a long time, I should order some chicken.”
I had something to do.
A very important task called eating.
* * *
Celia Ishar.
She was a Succubus. At the same time, she was in the deep underground of the White Church.
If you ask why a monster is in the Church, it’s because she existed in a sealed state.
How much time had passed since she was sealed?
Fortunately, her consciousness remained awake. In other words, she spent every day unable to move.
It was torture.
At some point, she even forgot to count the days.
Otherwise, her mind would have gone mad.
Why should she suffer such a fate?
Doubt and anger twisted within her.
Since she had no memory of harming humans, she couldn’t understand her current situation.
Generally, Succubi would roam through the dreams of human men, stealing their vital energy.
In the process, many men paid with their lives.
On the other hand, she had never taken vital energy from humans even once.
She was too soft-hearted and felt pity for them, so she didn’t want to.
Her standard applied not only to humans but also to other monsters, and she would rather starve than absorb their vital energy.
Fortunately, unlike other Succubi, she didn’t experience significant physical problems even without consuming vital energy.
The problem was that she couldn’t grow as a monster either.
At least from a human perspective, Celia was not a threatening existence.
Yet, the White Church sealed her first. Moreover, she was the only Succubus sealed there, which felt incredibly unfair to Celia.
Before being sealed, she had once become a disciple of the Succubus Queen.
Becoming a subordinate of the Queen, who ruled over all Succubi, was an honorable matter.
However, she knew her place.
Someone with no abilities, and what’s more, a Succubus who didn’t even extort vital energy from humans out of pity—why would she be made a disciple?
She remembered asking the Queen about it. The Queen replied to her question:
‘You have the talent.’
She didn’t know what kind of talent it was.
Even now, she still didn’t know.
What was certain was that the Queen wanted something from her.
After taking her as a disciple, the Queen began to act strangely.
She started draining Celia’s blood every day.
Celia, who wasn’t consuming vital energy, was already in a predictable state from losing blood.
The reason she endured it was probably out of gratitude for being taken in, despite being useless.
However, such a routine didn’t last long.
One day, the Queen spoke to Celia.
‘You are no longer needed. Get out of my sight.’
What did she mean? The Queen informed her suddenly.
Celia, whose mind froze for a moment, had that as her last memory before being sealed in the White Church. It was a fleeting moment.
At first, she thought the Queen and all the Succubi had been sealed.
But she was the only Succubus sealed in the depths of the White Church.
What on earth happened then?
Or perhaps she knew.
She had been betrayed.
By the Succubus Queen and her followers.
She didn’t know how they joined hands with the Church.
‘….’
However, if she could escape from here, if she could escape, she would not forgive any of them.
Not the Queen, not the Church.
But the seal was strong.
No matter how much she struggled, she could not break free.
The Church’s seal was thorough, and Inquisitors even took turns patrolling.
This was a space where even magic, let alone divine power, could not penetrate.
Unless someone came to save her, she would probably have to stay here forever, unable to die.
However, there was no hope that someone would come to save her.
Who would dare risk their life to oppose the Church?
Such was the great power of the White Church.
As she resigned herself to her fate once more.
Suddenly, the underground space began to warp.
Specifically, it was right in front of where she was sealed.
‘….’
There was no presence.
It was a place that no one could possibly infiltrate.
She thought it was so in the past, and it would be so in the future.
But the intruder before her easily infiltrated the Church’s underground.
It was a being with an unapproachable status.
Why did that being come here?
Did they come to free someone else who was sealed?
Celia thought it would be good if they helped her escape as well, since they were here.
Her prediction was spectacularly wrong.
That being spoke to her.
【Celia Ishar, become my slave.】
An unapproachable being called her name.
‘Ah….’
That being desired her.
【I ask again. Celia Ishar, serve me.】
The word “slave” no longer registered in her ears.
What was certain was that the being before her wanted her.
A being of that caliber could have taken her by force, but they asked for her consent first.
If only she accepted, she could escape this tedious place.
How much time had passed?
While being here, her emotions had been worn away.
The pity she felt for humans had disappeared.
Anger stirred within her towards the Succubus Queen and her kin who had accepted her.
Only from here.
If she could just get out of here, she would start everything anew.
To her, a lifeline had been extended.
Her deliberation was not long.
‘Please… grant me that opportunity.’
With that thought, her vision darkened.
When she regained consciousness, she realized she was no longer in the Church’s underground but in a different place.
“Where is this…?”
Her voice emerged.
Her seal had been broken.
Celia’s eyes shed tears without her realizing it, overwhelmed with emotion.
“Sob.”
Wiping away her tears, she looked around.
She instinctively realized that the place she was in was a dungeon.
Even though it was called a dungeon and was a small cave, it could be expanded with labor.
No one else was visible besides herself.
It was not managed, but she was not disappointed.
After all, it was her savior. No, her Master.
She intended to devote herself to her Master who saved her.
“…….”
However, her surprise did not end there.
【Become strong to match my level.】
The voice of the being who released her from her seal was heard.
Clearly, there was no one here but herself.
Could it be that the voice was all there was? Perhaps it was testing her.
While she hesitated for a moment, she felt something changing within her body.
Ah.
It’s ecstasy.
Her entire body was engulfed in pleasure.
Succubi were said to feel pleasure when they coveted the vital energy of humans.
Celia had never coveted vital energy, but that pleasure would be nothing compared to this.
And as the ecstasy ended, Celia felt it.
She had become stronger.
The words “become strong” were clearly heard.
“Did Master perhaps make me like this?”
There was no answer to her question.
Instead, only the words “become stronger” echoed.
【Become even stronger.】
Again, a strong pleasure washed over her.
After all this was over, Celia was completely transformed into a different being.
Her silver hair now emitted a soft glow.
The small horns on her head had increased in size.
Celia instinctively knew.
The status of her existence had risen.
It might even be comparable to the Succubus Queen of the past.
She knew who had done all this without it being spoken.
“May I… dare to know my noble Master’s name?”
Celia’s words trembled.
Would it be considered disrespectful?
Contrary to her worries, the voice echoed in the dungeon once more.
【Kanghyeon Lee.】
It was an extraordinary name.
Celia replied with a smile, “Yes!” and vowed to be loyal for the rest of her life. She then resolved to carry out the command to manage and protect this place, no matter what.
No matter what.
* * *
The Inquisitors of the White Church were in an uproar.
The deep underground where beings harmful to the world were sealed.
That place, which should have had strict security, had been breached.
By the time they realized it, one of the sealed beings had already disappeared.
The only fortunate thing was that the disappeared being was a Succubus.
Everyone thought that the worst-case scenario had been avoided.
Except for one person.
“Inform the Queen. That Ishar, sealed by the Church, has been released.”
Within the Church.
Someone secretly conveyed the message.
