Chapter 128 – Floor 18. Puppeteer, Leviana

Just after saving the collapsing Severa, the legendary puppeteer of the Infinite Gallery of Knowledge and summoning school”s master, Leviana, appeared—someone I had been meaning to seek out.

Turning at the sound, I saw a doll dressed in dark-colored Belle Époque bourgeois attire sitting at a tea table, eyes closed, with a steaming teacup before her as if freshly poured. Beside her stood a primly dressed librarian in a butler”s uniform, as if they had always been there.

“Make some noise when you come around. Don”t you hear my fragile heart pounding?”

Though her power was less than Levand”s, the quality was equal or even superior.

She was no mere neutral party; she was truly worthy of managing an entire floor.

“Sorry for the sudden appearance. The matter was urgent, so I had no choice.”

“I”m sure you did.”

Floors 17 and 18 could be said to be utterly devastated, to put it mildly.

Though it was my doing, I had smashed things so thoroughly that even meeting her gaze was difficult.

Fortunately, Leviana didn”t seem to blame me. With a flick of her articulated fingers, she commanded countless librarians to begin repairs immediately.

“With those pesky intruders dealt with, control of the gallery has returned to me. Nameless traveler, and the traveler from about 200 years ago beside you, I thank you both for your achievements.”

Kugugung─!

Leviana, who had been watching Severa with knowing eyes, slightly turned her head as the huge hole that had dropped the mass of corpses was filled again, and the cluttered corridors and structures began to be tidied.

Apparently, those two had taken control of the floor and rearranged it to their liking.

The visible rate of change was incredibly fast, yet it showed no sign of ending even after a long time.

Watching this, Leviana spoke first.

“By the way, you seem to know about me.”

“Of course.”

Puppeteer Leviana.

Known simply as Levina ㄼ in the DunGal forums, she was the main NPC of the Infinite Gallery of Knowledge region.

She also held a quest that granted special rewards after defeating Levand and the Clump Lord.

‘People used to call her names like 렚빖앖낪, complaining about hoarding artifacts and failing to kill those two…’

My answer made Leviana, eyes still closed, show a brief thoughtful expression, but it didn”t last long.

“I”d like to ask how you know, but that”s not important now. Even if unintentional, you helped me, so I want to offer some reward. Tell me what you want. If possible, I”ll grant it all.”

“All?”

“Yes. Everything you desire.”

The quest had no prerequisites.

Even if meeting Leviana for the first time through this event, the reward was guaranteed.

‘Originally, you could choose from permanent elixirs, artifacts, or ultimate magic scrolls…’

Now, in reality, would she really grant everything?

That thought made my eyes slowly scan Leviana.

Her smooth skin, as if defining herself as a doll, expressionless face, and closed eyes.

Below, her ample curves were visible even beneath her loose clothing, sitting demurely.

Her figure seemed like someone preserved forever as a doll—quite alluring.

‘Honestly, stat elixirs that don”t grant skills are useless… artifacts are abundant, and ultimate magic scrolls aren”t even necessary.’

In the game, resources were limited, but here, items weren”t bound to feet, and time could be spent scavenging everything, so resources weren”t scarce.

Only food and water were lacking, limiting time.

Decision made.

“Then how about this?”

I unabashedly grabbed Leviana”s chest firmly.

It felt heavier and denser than ordinary fabric but had a suppleness and give that synthetic resin couldn”t provide.

“…”

Leviana remained expressionless with eyes closed, but I clearly sensed a near-flustered emotion.

“…Seems you don”t mind even a doll”s body. If that”s your wish, I can accept it. But truly…”

She seemed to be getting long-winded, so I showed her with action.

Whoosh-!

With a strong tug, I ripped Leviana”s clothes, which were no match for nearly 20 points of strength, tearing them completely and sending scraps fluttering in the air.

With the cloth gone, Leviana”s demurely seated body was fully revealed.

Joints at her arms, shoulders, knees, ankles, and neck—

Each had spherical joints as if to claim she wasn”t human but a doll.

Yet she looked both very human and very doll-like.

Of course, made by someone”s hands, her flawless skin reflected light, and her enormous breasts, clearly shaped with personal taste, spilled over with large, firm nipples.

“Oh. She looked impressive clothed, but even more so naked.”

“How on earth do you control that lower body… hic!”

Severa muttered while watching my rising dragon struggling in my pants, but naturally, she covered my mouth by pinching a nipple through the thin, see-through fabric.

Though not painfully hard, the gentle pull made Severa emit a song-like scream.

Releasing the lightly twisted nipple and stroking it gently with my finger, I felt it stiffen and rise, noticeably erect by the second.

“Seems she”s serious.”

Leviana, forcibly stripped and seemingly being toyed with in my hands, closed her mouth briefly, then resignedly spoke again.

“I”ve already made empty promises, so as the gallery”s manager, I can”t refuse.”

“Oh.”

Practically permission granted.

‘So this works.’

I smiled brightly at Leviana, still doll-like.

Severa had exhausted her energy and fuel, returning to onahole form, so I carefully placed her inside the mimic.

Albert and Blue Tongue would take a long time to find stairs and descend through the completely rearranged Floor 17, so only Leviana and I remained here.

Though librarians wandered nearby, they were mere puppets following Leviana”s orders.

“As I saw at the gallery entrance, you have broad tastes. Even a doll”s body can get horny.”

“That”s not my fault. I blame whoever made a lustful body for a doll.”

Leviana sat demurely, still sipping her tea untouched.

Though roughly stripped, she waited calmly as if nothing had happened.

“…Then I”m sorry. I”m a doll modified from my living body.”

“For real?”

I was surprised by her claim of self-modification but let it slide—it wasn”t important.

Seems like body modification is nothing to these people.

I grabbed Leviana”s chest again.

Though cold like ceramic in the outside air, the touched area gave way slightly.

It didn”t seem like a material from reality, but after months of experiencing the depths of fantasy, I accepted it.

And it was certainly better than synthetic resin or porcelain.

Rub-rub—

I roughly squeezed the chest, feeling a weight unlike anything before.

I pressed hard, pulled the thick nipples, and rubbed both breasts together, but Leviana remained doll-like and unmoved, while my lower body swelled painfully.

My heart pounded wildly from the long fight.

My body accepted the excitement and urged me to satisfy this desire immediately.

“By the way, if you modified yourself, did you make this part new too?”

Though my pants felt ready to burst, I stopped stroking one breast and slowly moved downward.

Passing a seam that looked like a screw connecting chest and abdomen, I brushed my fingers over her lower belly and knocked on the female organ at her perineum.

“I don”t think I owe you an explanation that far. Nameless traveler, you want my body as a reward, so I give it. And traveler, you just enjoy it.”

“Very well said, ma”am.”

Click.

Though stiff like her chest, it didn”t seem like it would break like a real doll.

Probably all of Leviana”s parts were like this, not just her chest.

“Call me when you”re done. We”ll talk again then.”

“Hmm?”

Even while being roughly toyed with and having her lower parts poked, Leviana sat quietly like a doll, eyes closed, expression unreadable. Then she moved her arm and grabbed her own head.

What followed was…

Snap-!

A small breaking sound from within, and Leviana”s head was literally pulled off.

“Oh…”

But her headless body didn”t collapse, as if it meant nothing.

“No need to be surprised. I really am a doll now. Losing a head or limbs doesn”t make me less of a doll.”

“Well… I half-expected it, but seeing it is still shocking.”

“I won”t deny it—”

Ughbup-

Suddenly, Leviana”s mouth, still attached to her body, was gagged, cutting off her words.

I pushed a thick, long object deep into her mouth while roughly grabbing her chest and looked down at her.

Startled by the sudden intrusion, Leviana”s doll-like brow furrowed.

“But I”m Lev. I want you, not just your body.”

“Umpf- Buuup-”

The smooth, cool sensation inside the doll”s mouth was strangely fascinating.
