"Coffee?" asked Terra. The barista thrust a cup at me, her naked tits jiggling. "You need a good pick-me-up. Should have summoned me. I would have been perfect in your harem."
"Yeah," I groaned. "Sorry."
She shrugged and then took back the cup and dumped the brown liquid over her large tits. It spilled over her breasts, staining them like the earth. She moaned, her boobs jiggling, the coffee running hot down to her bush.
"I take it back," said Morana. "I don't want to be a succubus. Make me something cooler. Something dark and depressing and sexy."
"I'll try," I promised. "But I have to kill other dungeon builders and..." I swallowed as I glanced over at Jindag and Mthunzi. They were both leaning against the wall, legs spread out before them, bodies slumped in death. Their blood spilled down their chests while their empty eyes stared at me.
Accusing me.
I ripped my gaze away from them to glowing Mrs. Lucina, her hands squeezing her now naked tits. I wanted to enjoy them, but those eyes. They were on my back. They were pressing down at me, squishing me like a bug.
Then they screeched. A piercing alarm that echoed through my dream. The corpses screamed their rage at me. I had stolen their lives. I had taken away everything that they could have been. Death was so final. The end to everything.
The sound slammed into my ears. It assaulted them. I shook at the pressure of it. Their hands grabbed me. Corpse-cold and squeezing me. They were dragging me from the waiting women. All of the ladies were reaching out to me.
"Lord Leo!" they called. "Don't leave us, Lord Leo."
But the dead hands were dragging me down and down, the screeching tearing at my thoughts. I screamed and--
Bolted up to Maya clutching me. The alarm rang through the room. I blinked at the sound. Lana Fulmine was already up. Garnet burst into the bedroom, her wings quivering. She wore a white apron over her naked form.
"Fuck," I muttered. The dungeon was under attack.
I shook the sleep from my vision and I marched out of the bedroom. My mom hurried up from the kitchen, a look of concern on her woody face. Her leafy hair fluttered behind her. She swallowed as she saw me marching forward.
"Leo?"
"Get ready," I growled and went to my armor and weapons.
"Ooh, some bad boys are breaching the dungeon," Garnet said. She wore a white apron over her slender form. My little sister struck a dramatic pose. "Let's show them the folly of their ways. Kweh, heh, heh!"
Our mother glanced at her in shock. "This isn't a game, young lady."
Garnet deflated and muttered, "It's like a game."
"Leo," Lana said as she held open my gray robes for me to slip into.
As I thrust my arms in, I thought, "Who's seen the intruders?"
I was connected telepathically to everyone in the dungeon. Halia blinked and glanced at me. It looked like even she was in the network. By vowing to serve me, she had linked herself to the Void Crystal.
"I got eyes on them," Hela reported. My wildhound's thoughts reverberated in my mind. "We're about to pounce on them. Looks like a barbarian, a rogue, a mage, and a cleric."
"I know that cleric," added Nos. "And the rogue. They attacked us with Halia."
Halia groaned. "Norso and Milies?"
"I guess they got unbamboozled," I muttered.
"Well, my sexiness can only last so long," Garnet said with a shrug. "I'm amazing, but no one's that good."
Mom gave Garnet a curious look.
"Later," I said, belting on my gray robe while Lana lifted my breastplate. She helped to strap it on me.
A monster girl died. Seeng, one of my satyrs, just perished. I swallowed. Her soul was returned to the Void Crystal. When the battle was over, if we survived, I could revive her. It would be like she slept. But so long as the intruders were in the dungeon, I could do nothing to restore their flesh.
"I want them captured," I said. "Deal nonlethal damage."
"But they just killed Seeng, Lord Leo," Havas answered, sounding angry.
"And she'll be rewarded for her sacrifice," I said as Lana strapped the last one on. "I don't want them killed if we can avoid it."
"Will do, Lord Leo," Sviesos answered. The first-ever monster girl I made. Not a companion like Lana or my mother, but a true one birthed from the Void Crystal and my own will.
Kibir died as I took my lightning spear from Lana. It crackled with electricity. I had trained hard on it. I shook my head. I hadn't even had a chance to practice my new spells. Well, hopefully I wouldn't need them.
I marched out of the living room, my companions and Halia with me.
"I'm glad that you're trying to capture them," Mom said. "You shouldn't hurt people."
"I don't want to," I said. "But I will if I have to. I won't let them kill us all."
"He'll protect us," Garnet said. My little sister sounded so thrilled. "He's so gallant. Kweh, heh, heh, that's how he won this naughty succubus's heart."
"You loved your brother before coming here," Mom said. "Your crush was plain as day."
"Yep," Maya said. "Why do you think we got along so well."
"I know," Garnet said. "I'm glad we both got him. There are things we have to do."
"Now's not the time," I growled, feeling Havas dying. I swallowed. Was I getting my monster girls killed for nothing?
