Some city…

Airi glared at herself in the mirror then downed her third gla.s.s of milk . Life was just not fair . Her darling friend Harumi seemed to have Venus's luck in the area that mattered . She sniffed . Three cups a day and no luck so far . The girls in her group said it worked! Life was just not fair .

She turned and tripped over something, falling flat on her face .

"Nice job, Airi . At the top of the leaderboard . The slayer of Dragua, the woman who walks the wind, the one who they call G.o.ddess . Here's your new t.i.tle, the clutz of Satovia . "

She picked herself off the ground, allowing the thoughts she put off to flood her . Everything supernatural was secret until that day . She caught a journalist's blog by luck and couldn't believe what she read . The videos she watched—all of it revealing a battle in Lot City, between a group of people and a man named Akito . Akito, who was the head of a large company—firing magic in broad daylight . If sources were correct, that group actually killed a vampire emperor . An amazing feat for mere gifted . Incredible . And they were led by someone that surprised Airi . That friend Harumi mentioned . n.o.body knew his name—but this particular journalist dropped it on her blog, though it was blurred out a day later . That man moved her . There were rumors going around on the adventurer forum, speaking of Lot City's demon lord defeat . Could that man be responsible?

Airi faced Hades before, back in her very early days, before all achievements and powerups and training, before becoming gaining top tier . Hades wiped the floor with her . Yet…a group of ragtag gifted called, Team Stone, took him down . What kind of power is hiding in that? Airi needed to know!

Of course, this wasn't her main reason for visiting . The trip to see Harumi was planned months in advance—she loved her best friend . Too bad the pink-haired sweet girl didn't want to be an adventurer at the time .

Airi sat at her computer and flipped on the video . That man, the leader of that party, flipped from normal to emitting intense, inhuman aura . She met and fought with many adventurers and not once witnessed magic like that . Not from a human .

Oh, she hoped her dear Harumi, her friend that is like a sister to her, didn't get charmed by that guy .

She bit the bottom of her lip . He was handsome, strong, and powerful . She wouldn't blame Harumi for getting charmed by someone like that . She licked her lips, eyes glistening with interest .

Who was he? Sunday couldn't arrive quick enough!

"Get away from me you stupid vile creature!" Dark snapped . He was fed up with his s.h.i.+t luck . First, the Viper being unbelievably and unfairly overpowered to the point that the young man believed him simply unbeatable . Second, the dark elves gave themselves over to the Supreme Demon lord like idiotic simpletons, betraying the entire planet . Now monster girls, they captured Dark and his guide the moment they stepped into a city . h.e.l.l, he spent more time dealing with their BDSM than actually having s.e.x—or getting forced into it . The whips, chains, handcuffs, candle wax, ropes—the sight of that would probably make Dark go for a lit torch and burn everything immediately . Third, a mysterious girl declared him her servant—the nerve of her, claiming the great lord of the dark—but let him go without another word . She even healed him and Selkie . So thoughtful . Though if it were him, Dark would fear the power of his right hand too . The duo thanked her and escaped the dark elf city .

Then Selkie decided she needed to make some "important" report, promising to return . Keeping traveling she said, she'd sense his location, she said . She'd rejoin him, she said . That was days ago!

During a forest outing—his internal navigation system leading him toward the next town—a harpy caught sight of him . Then there was a flock upon the young man—he tried and failed to fight them all off .

They captured Dark, declaring him husband to the flock leader . He couldn't push off her advances, forced into enough s.e.x that every sight of her now brought him an instant erection like muscle memory . Fortunately, Dark knew a skill that prevented pregnancy, but the idiot harpies, of course, lacked intelligence . He tried to claim that he couldn't have kids, but the bird-brained monster girls refused to believe . The young man ended up raped by the entire flock .

"Come, my husband, I require you inside of me," the flock leader said, frantic l.u.s.t in her eyes .

Dark tried and failed to utilize a skill . The magic-mute status effect was renewed again, silently cast by one of the twelve women . He was so tired of the bird's nest living—apparently, the lowest tier flocks weren't allowed in the palace of a harpy queen .

After the s.e.x sessions, they scrubbed the young man with soap, brushed his teeth, then dunked in the freezing river to rinse . Two rounds of scrubbing and they got everything . He was at least allowed some privacy to take leaks . Or so he thought .

He was so G.o.dd.a.m.n sick of the fruit and vegetable diet . It took five runaway failures to make him stop trying . A whipping while being raped was no fun at all . Oh, how the great lord of the dark had fallen . These creatures . These f.u.c.king creatures .

"How many times must I say, bird, I am not your husband," Dark said . "The one who embodies the dark belongs to no one . "

Of course, Dark knew these bird-brained women wouldn't understand . They tried to integrate him into the flock, have his kids . Not on his watch .

Well, the harpies ripped his clothes off and forced the young man on his back . His manhood already jumped to full drive . He was going to be stuck here forever .

Suddenly, they were all unconscious . Just like that . Still breathing, but struck by something faster than his eyes could detect .

"Sheesh, chuuni, I leave you for just a few days and you get yourself captured . "

Before Dark could open his mouth to erupt what was sure to be raw anger, Selkie caught him in a hug .

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry you're in this predicament . "

Dark allowed himself relief for the first time in a while . He threw on his clothes .

"Thanks for bailing me out," he said . "The bird-for-brains negated my magic . "

Selkie nodded .

"I see . I'm glad you're okay . Did you know lunatic men get themselves captured by harpies on purpose? They beg not to be rescued but the pa.s.sing groups of adventurers tolerates no human adduction from harpies . They take the idiotic men to special healers and even asylums to get them to adapt to modern society again . "

Dark felt Selkie's healing magic spread around him, destroying the mute status effect . The feeling of being connected to his skills once again made the young man ecstatic . He was whole again . Dark . The strongest being…that had fair stats . The Viper, on the other hand, was an insane, overpowered, murderer .

"Let's go," Selkie said . "That town ahead will be more than happy to get you some food . "

"Real food," Dark said . "When I take over this world, all criminals will be forced to consume raw vegetables and fruit before taking on their perspective punishments . "

Selkie sighed .

"You d.a.m.ned chuuni . "

Lot City, Satovia…

The h.e.l.lhound gave Clyde an overview of the situation, without losing eye contact . The young man could've sworn she was pulling a Neko and whiffing the air . He tossed that arrogant thought to the side like a used tissue . He didn't believe for a moment that he was the center of the world and that every girl wanted him . Ruri and Yusuke looked great together, though how he managed to keep a h.e.l.lhound from going rape-city, the young man couldn't piece together .

Ruri's pack were going rampant, raping for sport on the outer edges of the city . A lot of human men were captured to be taken husband—to the point of filling the hot springs inn . Some of the men accepted, but others fought, which only made the h.e.l.lhound women eager . Eager to force rebels into submission . Dominate .

Ruri squeezed Clyde's leg for just a second, then continued .

"There's one more thing you should know," she said . "Yusuke has—"

Yusuke quickly covered her mouth .

"That's all the news—the important stuff," he said . "She wants our help, to control her overbearing pack, free the prisoners . "

Ruri looked as if she finally reached her limit . She opened her mouth to chomp at Yusuke's hand, but he removed it just in time . Clyde knew he needed to interject before this cause was lost . And before the h.e.l.lhound decided that the Stone made a better snack . The last time she and Alice fought, they almost destroyed the G.o.dd.a.m.n city . For her pack . If Ruri got involved directly, as he had an uneasy suspecting in his gut, blood would shed . The phenomenon wasn't there to protect the civilians .

"Yusuke, I want you to really listen to Ruri," Clyde said, surprising and silencing the entire table . "You—"

"What are you talking about?" Yusuke said . "And what's up with that accusatory voice? I'm certainly not the reason why she's angry, it's her pack, dude . "

"Yusuke," Clyde said, giving him a look . He clapped his hands together . "My friend, think . Let me talk to you in the—"

"No," Ruri said, standing . She jabbed a finger into Clyde's chest . "Let me have a word with you, outside, Mr . Know everything . "

Yusuke shrugged, shaking his head .

"I see the tables have turned, leader," Yusuke said, then suddenly something dawned on him . He leapt up and pulled Ruri to his front, holding her arms . "What happens at my house is n.o.body's business . I told you, I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of her . Why do you not listen?"

Ruri sneered .

"Let me go!" she snapped then shoved the young man to the side . "I hate you!"

The h.e.l.lhound darted outside, Jumping before her foot touched the sidewalk .

"Did she just vanish in thin air?" a waitress said, trembling . The people around were awed, whispering among themselves, snapping photos of the ground .

"Let's go," Clyde said . "And you," he pointed at Yusuke . "You've got to tell us what's going on . Why did she flip out? It's certainly some kind of concern for you . "

"It's nothing," Yusuke said . "Besides, if something was happening, Kitome would be all over you, right?"

Clyde nodded .

"You've got a point there . But still, we saw what we saw . Let us know man . "

"I said it's nothing," Yusuke snapped . "Nothing . You're the leader, not my babysitter . Not my keeper . Let's keep it that way . "

The ninja stormed off, leaving Clyde and his party even more confused .

"We're not going anywhere until every bite of these sweets is consumed," Alice said, breaking the minute-long era of silence . Clyde laughed . The others joined in .

"You see, this is why Alice is my favorite person to be around . "

He didn't mean to say that aloud, but the blonde nearly squealed in delight snuggling next to him . Warmness spread across his face—all attention was on him . Ming grimaced . Melody gave her a look as if understanding something .

"What are you waiting for, waitress," Clyde said . "Go get the bill . "

"Yes!" she said, nearly panicky as she ran to comply .
