As soon as they stepped through the shimmering portal, the atmosphere changed. The dungeon was dark, damp, and filled with an eerie silence. The air was thick with the scent of decay, the walls covered in moss, and the distant sound of dripping water echoed throughout the cavern.
Then, without warning, a shrill cry pierced the silence.
"Gnak!"
A group of goblins emerged from the shadows, their grotesque green bodies illuminated by the faint glow of the dungeon's torches. Their jagged weapons clattered against the stone as they shrieked and charged. But something was off—rather than spreading out and attacking randomly, they all rushed toward the female hunters.
"Kill them all!" Song Chiyul commanded, raising his hands as flames erupted from his palms.
"Yes!" The other hunters roared in response, their weapons flashing in the dim light as they lunged into battle.
Jinwoo, too weak to fight effectively, remained in the back, watching as his comrades clashed with the goblins. Joohee stayed behind as well, prepared to heal any injuries.
At first, the battle seemed to be going in their favor. The goblins, though aggressive, were weak and fell easily beneath the experienced strikes of the hunters. But then—something changed.
A strange scent filled the air.
At first, it was subtle, almost unnoticeable. But within seconds, it became overpowering—a thick, erotic fragrance that seemed to seep into their very beings.
The male hunters paused mid-fight, their eyes widening as they inhaled the intoxicating aroma. A shudder ran through them as their bodies reacted instantly, desire clouding their minds. Their grips on their weapons faltered, their breathing turned ragged, and some staggered, struggling to maintain focus.
Meanwhile, the two other female combatant hunters, unaffected by the scent, took a step back in alarm. One of them, a woman with a short ponytail, scowled in disgust. "What the hell is happening?! Why are the guys acting like perverts all of a sudden?"

The other woman, a fierce-looking hunter wielding twin daggers, surveyed the scene with narrowed eyes. "Something's off... This isn't normal. Stay alert!"

The goblins, on the other hand, only grew more frenzied. Their crimson eyes glowed with lust, their grins widening as they launched themselves at the female hunters with renewed vigor. Even the female goblins, usually more reserved in battle, threw themselves onto the men, clawing at them with desperation.
Jinwoo felt the scent invade his senses as well. His body tensed, heat pooling in his core as his mind screamed at him to succumb to the overwhelming desire. His breathing hitched, his heart pounded against his ribs—but unlike the others, he fought against it. Clenching his fists, he forced himself to remain in control.
Joohee, unaffected by the scent, watched in horror as her comrades lost themselves to their urges. "What's happening?!" she gasped, turning toward Jinwoo. "Jinwoo, are you okay?!"
He gritted his teeth, his nails digging into his palms as he suppressed the overwhelming sensation. "I... I'm fine..." he muttered, though the strain in his voice was evident.
Joohee looked around frantically. "We have to do something! If they keep breathing this in, they'll be completely lost!"
Jinwoo's mind raced. This was no ordinary dungeon. Something—or someone—was behind this unnatural phenomenon.
And he had a terrible feeling that things were only going to get worse.
Suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the air, halting Jinwoo and Joohee in their tracks. They turned toward the sound, their eyes widening in horror at what they saw.
The woman with the short ponytail was sprawled on the ground, her clothes torn and disheveled. Goblins swarmed around her, their grubby hands tearing at her skin, their grotesque forms pressing against her. Every hole in her body was violated by the creatures, their inhuman lust driving them to ravage the helpless hunter.
Her screams echoed through the cavern, her body writhing beneath the weight of her attackers. The sight was brutal, inhuman—she was being violated in every way imaginable, her dignity ripped from her in the most brutal of ways.
The other woman, still on her feet, fought desperately, her daggers flashing in the dim light. She could only hold on for a little bit more, if the situation wasn't gonna change soon... she would end like the other woman.
And the men—oh god, the men. Jinwoo felt bile rise in his throat as he saw them. They had completely lost themselves, their bodies entwined with the female goblins in ways that made Joohee want to look away. Their desire was uncontrollable, so overwhelming that they couldn't even recognize the horror of their actions.
This was no longer a battle—it was a nightmare.
"We have to help them!" Jinwoo shouted above the chaos, his voice tinged with desperation. "If we don't, they'll—"
But his words were cut short as a group of goblins lunged at them, their jagged weapons glinting in the torchlight.
Joohee screamed. She was just a Healer; she didn't know how to fight, didn't know how to defend herself. The thought of suffering the same fate as the other women filled her with terror, but before the goblins could reach her, Jinwoo stepped in front, his knife trembling in his hand.
"I'm sorry, Joohee..." he said, his voice strained as he fought against the lust coursing through him. "But I can't let this happen to you..."
He was the weakest among them—an E-rank Hunter barely able to survive in a dungeon. His nickname among the other hunters was 'The weakest weapon of humanity,' and they weren't wrong. One goblin alone could end his life. But here he was, standing between Joohee and certain death, his body shaking with fear and desire.
The goblins lunged, their weapons raised, their twisted grins promising a fate worse than death. Jinwoo closed his eyes, bracing for impact, for the agony of being torn apart by these monstrous creatures—
But the attack never came.
Instead, a sudden, wet sound filled the air, followed by a spray of something warm and sticky. Jinwoo opened his eyes to find his face covered in blood, his skin slick with gore.
He blinked, confused, as the bodies of the goblins before him slumped to the ground, their heads exploded, splattering him with their viscera. But that wasn't all—every goblin in the dungeon, the ones violating the women, the ones fighting the men, even the ones still lurking in the shadows—every single one had their heads blown apart, their lifeless bodies collapsing where they stood.
"A-ah..." The woman who had been fighting managed to utter, her voice trembling with terror. She had just been spared a brutal fate, but the sudden, inexplicable death of all the goblins meant that something far more dangerous was at play.
"What's happening now?" Jinwoo asked, his voice laced with fear as the overwhelming lust fought for control in his mind.
But before either of them could process what was happening, Joohee rushed to Jinwoo's side. She was terrified, her heart pounding in her chest, but Jinwoo's safety was all that mattered in that moment.
"Jinwoo! Are you all right?" she cried, reaching for him, only to freeze as she saw him. He was standing there, his hands pressed against his crotch, his face contorted in a mixture of pain and shame as he fought against an erection.
But before she could say anything, before either of them could comprehend what was happening, the sound of a flick filled the air. In an instant, all traces of the goblins vanished—their bodies, their blood, even the gore that covered Jinwoo's face. It was as if they had never been there at all.
But that wasn't the only change. Time itself seemed to have stopped. The other hunters, frozen in place, their expressions of horror and desire immortalized, stood like statues. Even the air seemed to have stilled, the echoes of screams and grunts silenced as if trapped in a snapshot of time.
Only Jinwoo seemed immune to whatever force had stopped time. He could still move, still breathe, still think. Confused and terrified, he looked around at the frozen scene, taking in the horror before him.
The woman who had been raped lay motionless, her eyes wide with terror, her body violated in ways that no human should endure. The other woman stood trembling, her daggers raised in a futile defense, her fear palpable even in stasis. Joohee's hand was outstretched toward him, concern etched on her frozen features.
And then, a voice—sultry, seductive, and terrifying—filled the air.
"Interesting..." it purred, the tone both alluring and threatening.
Jinwoo's heart skipped a beat. He turned slowly, his eyes wide, as he beheld the source of the voice. Emerging from the shadows of the dungeon was a figure that defied explanation, a woman whose very presence seemed to command the air around her.
Her long, crimson hair cascaded down her back like liquid fire, framing a seductive yet menacing face. Piercing crimson eyes glowed unnaturally, their gaze holding both charm and peril. Curved black horns crowned her head, while bat-like wings stretched from her back, their silhouette eerie in the dim light.

Clad in form-fitting, obsidian armor, she moved with the grace of a predator, each step promising both ecstasy and destruction. Her gaze locked onto Jinwoo, and he could feel the lust within him surge uncontrollably at the mere sight of her.
"Wh-who are you?" Jinwoo managed to stammer, his voice trembling with fear and the overwhelming desire coursing through his veins.
