Deep within the temple…
Jeong Yoo-shin was trapped in Mion’s embrace.
Mion’s arms were so strong that he couldn’t move, like a fly caught in a spiderweb.
*Squeeze.*
Her enormous breasts pressed down on his head.
Her soft belly was pressed against his face, making it hard for him to breathe.
A sour smell of sweat would have been normal here…
But Mion’s belly smelled of sweet, rich milk.
What should he call it?
A mommy scent.
Sniff, sniff.
As he was forced to inhale Mion’s scent, the danger alarms ringing in his head quieted down.
‘I’m getting drowsy.’
He forced his heavy eyelids open.
‘Ha!’
Dangerous.
If he fell into Mion’s milky swamp, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
“Mmm!!!”
He struggled again. Mion’s arms tightened around him.
‘I can’t breathe.’
Was he going to be suffocated by her breasts?
No.
He lightly bit Mion’s soft belly.
“Eek!”
Mion flinched and pulled back slightly.
‘Now!’
He tried to slip his face out from between her cleavage.
“Pwease wet me go, Mish Mion.”
Mion looked down at Jeong Yoo-shin, who was nestled between her breasts.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Her heart sank.
‘What have I done?’
A wave of regret washed over her. She had lost her composure at Skar’s cuteness and acted inappropriately as a priestess.
Mion stumbled backward.
“S-Skar, I’m sorry.”
Jeong Yoo-shin, released from Mion’s grasp, adjusted his rumpled shirt.
“N-No, it’s okay. I know you like children.”
Mion, feeling guilty, remained silent.
“…”
“Please check my imprints.”
“O-Okay.”
Jeong Yoo-shin knelt before Mion and bowed his head.
Mion, regaining her composure, began chanting.
About three minutes passed.
“As expected.”
Mion nodded, as if she had known all along.
Jeong Yoo-shin looked up.
Why?
What imprint was it?
“What is it?”
“It’s the Body Regression imprint.”
Jeong Yoo-shin tilted his head.
Body Regression? That sounded complicated.
“Isn’t it the Youth imprint?”
“That’s what some people call it. Because you revert to a younger version of yourself. By the way… Are you going to remove it?”
Mion asked cautiously.
“I’m not sure.”
He wanted to remove it, but there was a reason he couldn’t.
Because of the madness.
After defeating the troll, he had been half out of his mind and started seeing things.
But the madness, which had been stabbing at his mind, had disappeared after he became younger.
Or rather…
It had subsided.
He was worried that the madness would return if he removed the imprint and reverted back to his original body.
‘What should I do?’
His goal hadn’t changed.
To return home.
And the minimum requirement for that was…
To be able to enter the labyrinth.
He would die on the first floor if he entered with this frail body.
What if he returned to his original body and started seeing things again?
He might not be able to enter the labyrinth at all.
It was a dilemma.
The best course of action in this situation was one thing.
He had to find a way to stay sane even after returning to his original body.
He pondered for a moment, then decided not to tell Mion. He didn’t want to worry her.
Instead…
“It might not be bad to enjoy this form for a while longer.”
Jeong Yoo-shin said with a small smile.
“Y-Yes, you’re right.”
Mion’s face brightened.
Jeong Yoo-shin pouted.
“Priestess Mion, aren’t you a bit too happy about this?”
“Eek! N-No, I’m not!”
Mion’s face turned crimson as she waved her hands.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
“Already? S-Stay a little longer. Shall I escort you back to the inn?”
“No, I can go alone. It’s broad daylight, so no one will harm me.”
Creak.
Thump.
Mion stared blankly at the spot where Jeong Yoo-shin had been standing, then collapsed onto the floor.
Her legs felt weak.
‘Dangerous.’
Truly…
The man with the beast-like aura, strong, muscular arms, and a broad chest was gone.
Instead…
There was a little devil.
Alluring wasn’t a strong enough word for his current state.
‘No!’
Even though he had just left, Skar’s image filled her mind.
The image of the black-haired beast of a boy looking up at her, smiling playfully…
As if testing her.
A strange, forbidden thrill ran down her spine.
“S-Scary Skar…”
Mion muttered in a trembling voice.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Jeong Yoo-shin, unaware of Mion’s inner turmoil, returned to the inn with light steps.
“I’m back.”
As he entered the inn, Karin, who had been working at the counter, rushed over to him.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. But what are all these?”
Various items were piled up on the counter like a mountain.
“They’re all gifts for you.”
“Really?”
Clothes, desserts, accessories, and even money and bouquets.
“Who sent them?”
“From various people. Mostly explorers and residents of the city.”
“Why?”
“Well…”
Karin scratched her cheek.
“Because you’re handsome.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Even though I’m still black-haired?”
Karin shrugged.
“You’re handsome enough to overcome the black hair stigma.”
Was he really that handsome?
Jeong Yoo-shin sat on a chair across from Karin and pondered.
They said looks were also a weapon.
‘This could be a great opportunity for an easy labyrinth life.’
Equipment?
He could just sell the gifts he received.
And he could form a party with strong, busty women.
Fighting bloody battles as a vanguard?
There was no need. He could just cheer them on from the back.
Occasionally offering them water.
Wiping their sweat with a towel.
A sticky, sweet, pampered labyrinth life.
The thought made him smile.
“Hehe.”
Jeong Yoo-shin chuckled mischievously, and Karin made a troubled expression.
“Skar, that laugh sounds a bit dangerous.”
Just as Karin was about to say something…
Clang!
A small child opened the inn door and entered.
Yellow tail and pointy fox ears.
It was Luna.
“Mister Skar! Luna is here!”
“Oh! Luna, hi!”
Jeong Yoo-shin waved with a smile.
“Huh?!”
Luna froze when she saw Jeong Yoo-shin.
“Wh-Who is that?”
“Skar.”
“Huh?”
Luna stared at Jeong Yoo-shin with wide eyes.
Jeong Yoo-shin got off his chair and approached Luna.
‘Sigh. That was close.’
He stood before Luna and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was taller than Luna. He would have felt strangely insecure if he was shorter.
‘Right. I might have become younger, but I’m not as young as Luna.’
Luna’s face turned red as she looked up at Jeong Yoo-shin.
“What’s wrong? Do you have a fever?”
Jeong Yoo-shin placed his hand on Luna’s forehead with a concerned expression.
“Kyaaa!”
Luna screamed, her tail standing straight up.
Her face was as red as a tomato.
“N-No touching!”
Luna spun her tail like a helicopter and covered her face with her hair.
“N-No…”
Peek.
Luna peeked at Jeong Yoo-shin from between her hair, then turned and ran out of the inn.
“Wait, Luna…”
Jeong Yoo-shin watched Luna disappear like the wind, then slumped to the floor.
Did she dislike his changed appearance that much?
She was always such a sweet child who clung to him affectionately.
Karin, who was standing behind Jeong Yoo-shin, frowned.
‘Could it be that Luna…?’
Wasn’t that the behavior of someone falling in love?
‘Oh.’
A sense of unease crept in.
Mion was already a formidable rival, and now there was another one?
Of course, Luna was currently small and young.
But there was no doubt that Luna’s beauty would blossom over time. She could guarantee it. She was a woman, after all.
What if 10 years passed?
A terrifying scenario played out in her mind.
A grown-up Luna swaying her bushy yellow tail and sticking her tongue out slightly between two fingers.
‘Hmm. Karin? Your tail is dull, and your breasts are saggy. All you can do is cling to Mister Skar and act cute, you bitch.’
‘Ugh! Luna.’
‘Your days of seducing Mister Skar with those monstrous breasts are over. From now on, Luna will be making babies with Mister Skar!’
“N-No!”
Karin shook her head frantically.
A nightmare within a nightmare.
If this continued, she would be relegated to the back room, masturbating in defeat.
Should she guard against Luna?
How?
‘I have to talk to Mion.’
She didn’t want to face that busty priestess, but she didn’t see any other way.
It was clear that she would have more rivals in the future.
She had to join forces with those in her age group to survive.
She wasn’t sure if Mion would agree, but…
While Karin was lost in thought…
Jeong Yoo-shin looked down at his hands.
Honestly, he had thought that he was handsome.
Was he mistaken?
Seeing Luna, who always approached him with a smile, run away like she had been stung by a bee made his heart ache.
Had he been too casual about touching her?
Karin, who was finishing her contemplation, approached Jeong Yoo-shin and placed her hand on his shoulder.
“Skar, don’t worry too much.”
Jeong Yoo-shin looked up.
“Why?”
“Luna is still a child. It’s only natural that she needs time to adjust to your changed appearance.”
‘Is that so?’
“Does she not like me anymore?”
“Luna probably likes you the most. Trust me.”
Karin said with a wry smile.
Another future rival. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness.
Just then…
Clang!!!
The inn door opened again.
A scruffy boy entered the inn.
The boy looked around while holding a piece of paper, then stopped abruptly.
“Skar, Master Ashur is calling for you.”
The boy said, his face slightly flushed.
“Right now?”
“Yes. He said to come immediately.”
“What is it this time?”
“He said he’ll explain when you arrive.”
“Alright.”
Jeong Yoo-shin turned around and looked up at Karin.
“I’ll be back.”
“You seem busy today. Take your time. I’ll keep watch here.”
Karin replied while waving her hand.
He left the inn and walked to the Swordsman’s Guild in the Southern District with the scruffy boy.
The guild was quiet after lunchtime.
The scruffy boy led him to the Guild Master’s office.
*Creak.*
He opened the door and entered. He saw a familiar elf.
Ashur.
His master and the head of the Swordsman’s Guild.
Ashur was leaning back in his chair while looking down at Jeong Yoo-shin.
His expression was calm.
He seemed to know everything.
“Sit down.”
“Yes.”
“I heard that you killed a Forest Troll.”
“Yes.”
“Come closer.”
Jeong Yoo-shin approached as Ashur beckoned him over.
Ashur held Jeong Yoo-shin’s face and looked into his eyes for a long moment.
“I heard that you set your arm on fire and killed the Forest Troll.”
“That’s correct.”
“It’s a miracle that you didn’t go mad.”
“I was a bit… unstable. But I’m fine now. I think it’s because of the imprint.”
Ashur released Jeong Yoo-shin and leaned back in his chair.
“The Body Regression imprint? Let me ask you something first. Disciple, you’ve become smaller, and your muscles are gone. What are you going to do if someone kidnaps you?”
“Why would anyone kidnap me?”
“Many things happen in Labyrinth City.”
“…”
“So, how about learning some proper swordsmanship? This imprint is a good opportunity to correct your bad habits. If you learn properly now, you won’t have to struggle later. Of course, I’m speaking from a human’s perspective. You have talent.”
Ashur’s gaze turned serious.
“I’ll make you the strongest.”
Jeong Yoo-shin shook his head.
“No, Master. I have a plan.”
“What is it?”
Jeong Yoo-shin sat up straight and explained his plan.
“…That way, I can form a party with beautiful and strong noonas. This will complete my happy, sticky, sweet, pampered labyrinth life.”
Ashur, his elf master, stared at him with wide eyes.
“…”
And then he covered his face with one hand.
“Ah.”
“Ah?”
Jeong Yoo-shin tilted his head.
Why was he saying “ah” so suddenly? Was his plan so perfect that his master was speechless?
Just then…
A cloth was suddenly thrown over his head.
“Mmm?! Mmm!!!”
Jeong Yoo-shin struggled.
He heard Ashur’s voice from outside the cloth.
“Vice-Leader, restrain him and take him away. I’ll talk to the inn staff separately.”
“Yes.”
“Mmm!!!”
He struggled with all his might, but it was useless.
Ashur’s finger pressed against a point on his neck, and his body went limp.
“A pampered labyrinth life surrounded by beautiful noonas? This kid is dangerous. Vice-Leader, did you see his serious expression? Wow, I have goosebumps.”
His consciousness faded. Ashur’s words echoed faintly in his ears.
Then, darkness enveloped him.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
T/N – Ahahaha. Wtf?! That’s the perfect way to end the mass release! The audacity of the MC to say his scumbag plan out loud, to his elf master no less.
I hope you enjoyed the mass release. I certainly did. I might do this every month depending on if I can get my act together. Wish me luck!
If you find any mistakes, feel free to point them out in the comments.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
damn maybe the madness is still there after all kekw
