“Wow. Is this what they call pay-to-win?”

The deputy, who was initially a 3-star, transformed into a 6-star.

Even his appearance had changed in many ways.

The tiny silver hair grew smoothly. The black horns that had risen slightly on the sides of his head grew long and stretched under his ears.

His face, which had an anxious expression when he was a 3-star, now appeared relaxed. His charm seemed to have increased along with his composure.

I initially turned him into a 4-star using the 5,900 won package. And when the 5-star fusion package for 15,900 won appeared, I bought that too.

And so, I made him a 5-star.

But of course, a package to turn him into a 6-star was also released again.

The only difference was that this time, the price was quite high.

“59,000 won.”

It seemed like the developers of this game were really obsessed with money.

I would have normally just closed the game, but as if I were possessed, I ended up buying it.

And the result was the dungeon deputy becoming a 6-star.

I must admit, I was satisfied when I looked at the results.

The stats that were initially unimpressive had shot up in an instant, and the skill list had also been expanded.

With these specs, I should be able to defend the dungeon, and even the holy knights of the church, right?

The difference between 3-stars and 6-stars was substantial.

“If you’re a 6-star, how strong are you, really?”

In terms of the Earth, it would be roughly equivalent to an S-rank monster.

As hunters traveling between Earth and the Eldorado Continent increased, a rough ranking had been established.

1-star was equivalent to F-rank and E-rank on Earth.

2-star was D-rank.

3-stars are Class C.

4-stars are Class B.

5-stars are Class A.

Since everything after that is not common for monsters, they just set a rough standard.

Typically, 6-stars were estimated as Class S.

However, Class S monsters were extremely rare on the continent as well as on Earth.

And the number of hunters who reached Class S was even less.

“Still, it would be comfortable to think that I got a Class S succubus.”

The only regret was that he had purchased a dungeon stealth item in the early stages.

Thanks to that, the dungeon’s location would remain hidden for a week, so there won’t be any intruders for a while.

If he knew he would become this strong from the beginning, he would have regretted not having to purchase it.

While regaining his taste, a window popped up as he briefly looked at the game interface.

He thought that maybe the developer had launched another package, but this time it was a different window.

– Lieutenant ‘Celia Ishar’ shows her gratitude to her master.

– Lieutenant ‘Celia Ishar’ cautiously asks if she may inquire about her master’s name.

A field to enter a name appeared along with the text.

“My name?”

Now he was naming himself, after naming the dungeon earlier.

This time, he didn’t hesitate for long.

It was troublesome to come up with a name, and there was no suitable name coming to mind.

He simply wrote his own name in the input field.

‘My name is.’

– Lee Kang-hyun

As soon as he wrote his name.

– ‘Celia Ishar’ is happy to hear her master’s name.

– Loyalty achieved 100.

– Loyalty has reached its maximum capacity. From now on, ‘Celia Ishar’ will follow whatever her master orders.

“There’s a system like this?”

He felt good because his loyalty had reached its maximum capacity from the beginning.

This too must be the power of in-app purchases.

So, you’ll follow any command?

Celia Ishahahahar, that’s too long, I’ll shorten it to Celia.

Anyway, she showed loyalty to me.

“That’s what a deputy should be like. Yeap.”

There wasn’t anything worth commanding right away.

There were no intruders in the dungeon, and it was still in the early stages, so there wasn’t any noteworthy content visible either.

“Is it like a neglected type of game?”

Despite a momentary question, I decided to end the game here.

But before that.

“You manage the dungeon on your own.”

In the deputy settings tab, there were several action items, so I clicked on ‘dungeon management’ and ‘dungeon defense’ to activate them.

The deputy nodded her head happily and started walking around the dungeon.

The dungeon was merely a small and cozy cave, but it could be expanded later.

After a short while, I pressed the end button and closed my eyes.

Finishing my brief pondering.

“It’s been a while since I returned to Earth, let’s order some chicken.”

There was work to be done.

A very important matter called food.

Celia Ishahahahar.

She was a succubus and was deep underground in the White Order.

If you ask why a monster is in the order, to be precise, she was in a sealed state.

How much time had passed since she’d been sealed?

Fortunately, her consciousness had been awake. In other words, she spent every day in a state of not being able to move.

It was hard labor.

At some point, she even forgot to count the days.

If not, her sanity would have been lost.

Why should she have been treated like this?

Her doubts and anger were distorted.

She couldn’t understand her current situation because she had no memory of harming humans.

Commonly known as a succubus, it would haunt the dreams of human men and drain them of their life force.

In the process, many men had paid the price with their lives.

On the contrary, she had never once taken the life force from a human.

She was too tender-hearted to even want to do that, and she also felt pity for them.

The same principle applied not only to humans but also to other monsters, and she would rather starve than absorb their life force.

Fortunately, unlike other succubi, she didn’t experience significant harm without consuming life force.

The problem was that she couldn’t grow as a monster without it.

At least from the perspective of humans, Celia wasn’t a threatening existence.

But the White Order sealed her first of all. Moreover, she was the only succubus sealed here, which was incredibly unfair from Celia’s point of view.

Before being sealed, she had once been an apprentice to the queen of succubi.

It was an honorable thing to serve under the queen who ruled all succubi.

However, she knew her place.

Why would the queen want a disciple who had no abilities, and even felt pity for other humans, not draining their life force?

She remembered asking the queen about it, and the queen had answered:

“You possess a unique quality.”

She didn’t know what unique quality the queen was talking about.

Even now, she still couldn’t understand.

One sure thing was that the queen wanted something from her.

After taking her in as an apprentice, the queen began to exhibit peculiar behavior.

She started to draw Celia’s blood every day.

Celia who hadn’t been consuming life force was already weak. In such a situation, giving blood too made her condition worse.

But she remained quiet, as a gesture of gratitude to the queen who had taken her in even though she was useless.

However, those days didn’t last long.

One day, the queen said to Celia:

“You are no longer needed. Get out of my sight.”

What did she mean? The queen suddenly informed her.

Celia’s thoughts halted for a moment and, at that instant, she was sealed by the White Order. It happened in a fraction of time.

Initially, she thought that all succubi, including the queen, had been sealed.

However, she was the only succubus sealed in the underground of the White Order.

What on earth had happened back then?

“No, perhaps she didn’t even know.

That she had been betrayed.

By the Succubus Queen and her entourage.

I don’t know how they joined forces with the Order.

‘….’

But if she could escape from this place, if she could just manage to escape, she would forgive them all.

The Queen, the Order, all of them.

But the seal was unyielding.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

The Order’s seal was thorough, and the Inquisitors took turns patrolling.

Even magic couldn’t permeate this space, unless it was divine.

Unless someone came to rescue her, she would likely be trapped here for the rest of her life.

But there was hardly any hope that someone would come to her aid.

Who would dare to challenge the Order at the risk of their own life?

That’s how formidable the White Order was.

As she resigned herself to this fate once again,

Suddenly, the underground space began to warp.

More precisely, right in front of where she was sealed.

‘….’

She felt no presence.

It was undoubtedly a place that no one could breach.

It had been that way in the past, and she assumed it would be the same in the future.

However, the intruder before her eyes had easily infiltrated the depths of the Order.

They were a being she dared not approach.

Why had this being come here?

Had they come to retrieve someone else who was sealed?

Celia thought that since they were here, it would be nice if they could help her escape too.

Her expectations were pleasantly off the mark.

The being spoke to her.

【Celia Ishahahahar, become a slave of the Chosen.】”

An unreachable existence called out her name.

“Ah…”

That being desired her.

【I shall ask once more. Celia Ishahahahar, serve me.】

The word “slave” no longer crossed her mind.

All she knew for certain was that the being before her wanted her.

A being of that caliber could have taken her by force, but it asked for her consent first.

If she agreed, she could escape this unbearable place.

How much time had passed?

Her emotions had worn thin while being here.

Her empathy for humans had vanished.

She harbored anger toward the succubus queen who had taken her in and her fellow brethren.

But only within this place.

As long as she could escape this place, she would start anew.

An opportunity had come to her.

Her hesitation was brief.

“Please… grant me that chance.”

As that thought concluded, her vision darkened.

When she regained consciousness, she realized she was no longer in the underground sanctuary but in a different location.

“Where is this…?”

Her voice returned.

Her seal had been broken.

Unknowingly, tears flowed from Celia’s eyes in deep emotion.

“Sob.”

As she wiped her tears, she looked around.

She instinctively understood that this place was a dungeon.

Though it was nothing more than a small cave, if they had manpower, it could be expanded at any time.

No other beings were in sight.

It was in an unmanaged state, but she did not feel disappointed.

The person who saved her – no, her master – was there.

She was determined to dedicate herself to her rescuer.

“…”

But the astonishment didn’t end there.

【Become stronger according to your level.】

The voice of the being that had released her from her seal reached her.

Surely, there was no one else here besides herself.

Could it be that the voice was all there was? Maybe it was a test of herself.

In the brief moment of hesitation, she felt something changing within her own body.

Ah.

Ecstasy.

A succubus feels pleasure when consuming a human’s life force.

Celia had never tasted life force, but perhaps that pleasure would be nothing compared to the ecstasy she felt now.

And as the ecstasy subsided, Celia realized.

She had become stronger.

Clearly, she heard the words to become stronger.

“Could it be that my master made me like this?”

There was no answer to her question.

Instead, only the words to become even stronger echoed.

【Become even stronger.】

Once again, a powerful pleasure surged through her.

When all of this was over, Celia had transformed into an entirely different being.

A faint light shimmered in her silver hair.

The small horns on her head had grown in size.

Celia instinctively knew.

Her status had risen.

She might even rival the Succubus Queen of the past.

There was no need to say who had done all of this.

“May I, may I dare to ask for the noble name of my master?”

Celia’s voice trembled.

Wouldn’t they find that rude?

Contrary to my concerns, a voice echoed throughout the dungeon once again.

【Lee Kang-hyun.】

It was a remarkable name.

With a smiling face, Celia answered ‘Yes!’ and pledged her lifelong loyalty to him. She thought she would obey the command to manage and protect this place no matter what happened.

No matter what.

* * *

The heretic inquisitors of the White Order were in chaos.

Deep underground, where they had sealed off harmful beings from the world.

That place, which should have been heavily secured, had been breached.

By the time they had realized it, one of the sealed beings had disappeared.

Fortunately, the missing being was a succubus.

Everyone thought they had narrowly avoided the worst-case scenario.

Except, for one person.

“Inform Her Majesty. The Ishtar that the Order had sealed has been released.”

Somewhere in the Order.

Someone secretly passed the message.
