“Ugh, my head.”

I couldn’t gather my thoughts due to the dizziness that felt like I had gone out drinking heavily at a company dinner and then showed up for work on a Monday. It felt like falling from the sky, getting hit by something, and then… a hammer!

I remembered that face grimacing at itself after being hit by something. Positioned somewhere between obesity and overweight, the skin seemed far from being well-maintained.

Come to think of it, my wrists and ankles had been feeling heavy as if touching cold metal since a while ago.

No way.

“Sigh.”

Could it really be what I think it is?

As expected, or was it?

As if it were only natural, my wrists and ankles were filled with metal handcuffs, restricting my movements due to the short length of the chains.

What about my attire? My t-shirt and underwear were gone, leaving me naked. And next to me, there was a small torch, allowing me to see the surroundings.

With rocks all around, the environment resembled a cave of some sort, seemingly disregarding heating issues as it felt cold and damp.

It looked like a cave where bandits or sinister sorcerers could dwell.

Fully regaining my senses, I felt a sense of urgency in the current situation.

“No! I have to escape somehow!”

However, despite my wishes, the iron chains and shackles showcasing their strength paid no heed.

And as I struggled, I felt the cuffs connected to the shackles pulling me, but now was not the time to worry about such things.

“I can’t! Not getting caught! Not by a man!”

The moment you catch a virgin, even the easy “Virgin Route” faces challenges, let alone the tough “Normal Route.” I must resist.

The moment you catch a virgin. The fate of becoming a slave to lust, panting for a lifetime like the protagonist Grace, flashed before my eyes.

Someone hearing this might suggest seeking help due to delusions of persecution, but even in this insane worldview, they persist.

“Argh! Status window! Status window! Status window!”

In a desperate attempt to avoid such a miserable fate, I shouted for a status window, but realistically, would such a thing even exist?

Ding—

?

Accompanied by a clear chime, golden letters appeared in my field of vision.

“Really? Yikes!”

Nevertheless, it seemed like the goddess had bestowed upon me the ability of a status window.

Let’s see what kind of cheat ability I have.

– Name: Serena

– Lewdness: 10%

– Eros…

Thud—

Seeing something absurd, I mentally turned off the status window.

The euphoria didn’t last even three seconds before plummeting into despair. To think a supposed status window had such trash abilities.

Feeling a disconnect due to the emotional rollercoaster, I stopped struggling and slumped down in place. Soon, footsteps echoed from inside the cave, approaching me.

“In this already cramped cave, they’re making quite a racket.”

“Haha, noisy female.”

Emerging from the darkness were Morus, who had knocked me out, and the goblin who had given me a club massage.

While I hadn’t encountered this duo in the game before, I knew my safety was at risk. But wait, aren’t they enemies? Why are they so friendly?

Could it be a trap?

More importantly, they can understand speech? I wasn’t paying attention earlier due to the pain. Regardless, since communication was possible, I decided to confront Morus.

“Do you have any shame? Plotting with a goblin!”

I toned down the accusation. Going too hard from the start might provoke Morus into doing something unpredictable.

“What nonsense is this? I just met this guy.”

“Female, you’re stupid.”

I was taken aback by Morus and the goblin’s responses. Wait, isn’t he human and the other a monster? Aren’t humans supposed to be enemies with monsters?

In my mind, I considered the possibility of Morus controlling the goblin through taming from the game. If that were the case, it would complicate matters even further.

The taming isn’t a guarantee that it won’t be used against oneself.

In the game, taming monsters and hypnotizing people were separate, but now it seems unlikely to work properly.

In the worst-case scenario, there’s a possibility of being brainwashed. Not sure if my gaze was too intense, Morus started explaining, scratching his head.

“It’s a master-servant contract. If I provide this goblin with shelter and food, he’ll provide me with labor.”

“Meat, delicious!”

Surprising. Since they kidnapped me, I naturally assumed they’d exploit me.

Could there be room for negotiation?

“Well, then maybe…”

“Oh, by the way, I brought you here to use as a sex slave. Of course, through a contract.”

“Damn.”

I was foolish to have hoped even for a moment.

I had to find a way out of this crisis somehow.

If I deflowered a maiden, my life would plummet off a cliff like a coin tossed by a businessman.

“I must be crazy to agree to something like that!”

“Hmm, seeing you naked at night makes it seem easy.”

“Shut up! I’m normal!”

“…Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Ignoring Morus, I pondered how I ended up naked. Met a goddess and passed out on the ground.

Morus mentioned not dressing me on the way here. There’s only one culprit.

“Ugh… that damn goddess.”

“Oh, you don’t like the goddess either?”

“It’s just as well. But you too?”

“Oh, let me introduce myself properly again. I am Morus, the envoy of the Demon Lord’s army.”

Damn it all.

“I have a grand and sorrowful story leading up to becoming a demon lord. Want to hear it?”

“Can you summarize it in three lines?”

It seemed too complicated to bother with.

“…Just got screwed over so badly it’s fucked up.”

“So, a bad guy?”

“Exactly. Let’s get to the point.”

Saying that, Morus pulled something out of his pocket. Was it the powder they used to kidnap me?

“Tada~”

But what Morus revealed was a syringe filled with pink liquid.

Dangerous.

In this game, pink usually means either a drug or a potent potion.

“Ah, still curious about what this is.”

“A drug?”

“Yes. I’ll be administering this to you regularly. Withdrawal symptoms will burden your body. It’ll be painful without it. Otherwise, just be a sex slave; at least you won’t get addicted. This contract is great, but it requires mutual consent.”

Thankfully, they didn’t use the enslavement seal from the game. That seal turns one into a complete slave beyond a master-servant relationship.

My only choice is enduring the drug. Even if I risk addiction, I must absolutely protect the maiden.

“So, what do you think? I checked earlier, and you’re not a virgin.”

“What? Don’t joke! I’m a virgin!!”

Morus’s bombshell made me lose it.

Me, not a virgin?

No way!

I looked at the most suspicious culprit, the goblin.

“Hey, goblin!”

“Kik? Not me. I only drugged the female genitals.”

“Is that so? What’s going on? Just so you know, I’m still intact.”

Their reactions didn’t seem like lies, but there must be some misunderstanding.

A status window suddenly popped up in my mind.

“Status window!”

Reluctantly, I opened it and accessed Erostatus.

Now I just needed to confirm my virginity and gracefully escape Morus’s scheme…

─First Encounter Partner: Goddess.

─Reason 1: Lost virginity due to the goddess’s futanari penis.

─Experience Position: Face-to-face.

My head spun.

More dizzying than when I accidentally hit my head on a rock as a child.

Why?

“No, what about the goddess?

It’s over. It ended before it even began.

Now, all that remained was a future of birthing crazy demon soldiers and goblin offspring in this dark and damp cave.

Upon realizing this, an unbearable sadness swept over me.

Dad and Mom.

Just hearing from others that their son had changed was painful enough, but to hear that he had gone missing made it even more heartbreaking.

“Sob… Aaah!”

“Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

“Sniff, human female. Seems like something’s wrong with her head.”

Serena lamented about her future, weeping and thrashing as if the cave were collapsing.

Seeing this, Morus and the goblin couldn’t help but think she looked beautiful despite being covered in mud.

“I guess I’ll have to wait until she calms down.”

After a while, Serena collapsed, exhausted, with swollen eyes from crying. Morus was slightly curious about what could make her cry so much.

“Judging by the situation, did you also lose your virginity without realizing it?”

“Sob, yes.”

“Any idea who might have done it?”

“The day after the goddess became Futanari.”

Morus’s brain went into overload upon hearing Serena’s words. He glanced at the goblin, wondering if it understood, but the goblin seemed clueless.

“Could it be… Are you also part of the demon army?”

Disparaging the goddess to this extent is something even demons wouldn’t do. If true, it would require a fanatic hatred towards the goddess to come up with such an idea.

“Me… Sob, why would I be part of the demon army?”

Ah, that’s it. My mind must have snapped from enduring too much hardship. That explains this mental state.

Pat, pat.

“I may not know what happened, but you’ve been through a lot.”

Morus smiled at Serena, offering words of comfort. Hearing this, Serena wondered if this guy might actually be a good person.

But then, feeling a sting on her forearm, she looked and saw a pink syringe filled with drugs.

“But that’s that, and this is this.”

In an instant, as the drug entered her system via the syringe and Morus’s smiling face, Serena remembered one thing she had forgotten.

“Oh right. This bastard is a rapist.”
