126 – 27th Floor: Necroumbra

What should I do with this unidentified plant, no, creature?

In the real world, even if I’m fine, the people around me could get hurt, so I’d have to get rid of it.

But here…

‘Hmm… if I play this right?’

Suddenly, I remember who this thing came from.

As everyone knows, it’s the Crown Prince.

The security was so tight that even our capable intelligence chief didn’t know, all to maintain the secrecy of the test.

And that Crown Prince gave me a man-eating plant to raise?

‘This, this could cause quite a stir?’

It’s a creature with a lot of potential for political use.

Instead of killing it and announcing the fact, showing it alive would create a much bigger impact.

To do that, I need to train it first.

‘But how do you train a plant?’

“Um… sit?”

The plant seems to understand my words, lowering its flowers and stems.

“It listens well…”

To test how well it understands human commands, I give it various orders, making the plant do tricks.

While I’m giving it basic training, a maid enters.

“Princess? Good morning… Kyaaaa!!!”

“Ah…”

The maid screams when she sees my plant.

It was only natural.

Whether it was because being sucked dry by it yesterday further stimulated its growth, the walls and ceiling of my room are covered with stems spreading in all directions, and hundreds of sharp teeth are interlocked in the pretty petals.

Even the pot has completely merged with the plant, and its roots, extending below, are walking across the floor with a ‘thump, thump’.

It’s a scene that would terrify anyone.

I can hear people rushing in at the maid’s scream, but the plant isn’t flustered.

As if it believes I’ll take care of everything, it calmly puts its arm (?) around my shoulder and waves its hand (?) to greet the people.

“I-is that, could it be that plant?”

“Y-Your Highness! Are you alright?”

“Good heavens…”

“Ahem… First, don’t spread rumors, and everyone, please come in quietly.”

*

A makeshift conference room is set up in my room.

“We’ve silenced the employees for now. What should we do with that thing? It’s too dangerous to leave as it is.”

The head butler seems uneasy about the plant.

“I agree. We can’t rule out the possibility that it’s only pretending to listen.”

The head of the guard is also against it.

“For now, a botanist is on his way, so let’s decide after hearing what he has to say.”

The intelligence chief is neutral.

But,

“No. I think it’ll be alright. It listens to me very well, and I don’t think it’ll attack people first.”

I was suspicious at first, but I’ve changed my mind for a reason.

It’s the status window message.

[There is one tameable entity. Would you like to tame it?]

Of course, that doesn’t mean absolute obedience, but what’s certain is that it’ll listen to me for the most part, and it basically likes me.

‘But why did it force itself on me so aggressively yesterday…?’

There are parts I can’t understand, but when I think about it, it didn’t attack me with its teeth, and it safely returned to its original spot after the act.

It’s definitely not hostile.

“Ahem… If that’s what Your Highness says… let’s listen to that foolish botanist’s words as a last resort.”

Trust in the botanist, who couldn’t even distinguish such a dangerous plant, has already hit rock bottom, but since we called him anyway, we’ll hear his final excuse.

And a little later.

The botanist arrives in a hurry after receiving an urgent message.

As soon as he opens the door, he’s startled by the plant, which is clicking its scary teeth next to me.

“Hiiiik!!! Th-that is!!”

“Don’t make a fuss, it’s safe, so speak clearly!”

The botanist doesn’t regain his senses even with the head butler’s rebuke.

“Huuuh… No, but still…”

Since the botanist is too scared to talk, I make the plant do the gymnastics and dances I just taught it.

The botanist’s expression changes dynamically as he watches, and he gradually calms down. Then he chuckles and composes himself.

“Ahem, I made a spectacle of myself. But I have my reasons. This creature’s name is ‘Necroumbra’. Also known as the corpse-eating flower. It’s a disaster-class monster that was once discovered in the Great Forest.”

Disaster-class monster.

For reference, the Giant Ogre I fought in the city where I made cream pies was a disaster-class monster.

‘This thing is the same rank as that giant?’

“Not yet fully bloomed… Haa, at this point, we can practically consider it fully bloomed. What on earth, no, how… did you tame it?”

According to him, this plant’s specialty is surprise attacks and assassinations.

First of all, its skill in hiding its presence is incomparable to that of any assassin.

Even a Sword Master, no, even a Sword Master’s grandfather wouldn’t be able to tell whether it’s just a plant or a Necroumbra.

‘I knew it… There’s no way I wouldn’t have felt anything.’

In the end, the viewers were right, but I’m also wronged.

Since someone as sensitive to energy as me didn’t feel anything, I naturally assumed it was just a plant.

Moreover, since this thing has a liking for me, I didn’t even feel any hostility when it attacked. So I had no choice but to offer my pussy defenselessly.

The botanist continues.

“It’s known that this creature simply eats men in one bite, and uses females for breeding or continuous entertainment.”

“Entertainment…?”

“Yes… This creature is unique in that it enjoys watching women become sexually aroused. That’s proof that it has human-like emotions and intelligence.”

People instinctively glance at me.

“Nothing like that happened to me.”

Lee Do-hee’s ultimate move, playing dumb.

I hate lying, but lying in the virtual world for the sake of climbing the tower is something I can do without batting an eye.

“No, no! I would never think such a thing!!”

“M-me neither!”

“Botanist, don’t say strange things!!”

Everyone is startled and shakes their heads.

“And this one is different. It was born from my energy, so it not only obeys my words, but it also doesn’t antagonize people.”

“That’s right. This one is different. It was born in a different way from the start.”

The botanist nods and continues.

There’s a reason why flowers specialized in stealth like the Necroumbra haven’t dominated the world.

First of all, it takes an enormous amount of time to create the seeds themselves. They make at most two seeds during their long lives, usually only one, and then die.

And the biggest problem is that it’s difficult to ignite the seeds that are made with such difficulty.

There’s a reason why this flower’s alias is ‘corpse-eating flower’.

Usually, to ignite it, you have to plant the seed, pile hundreds of corpses on top of it, and wait for months.

It only ignites after absorbing not only the nutrients from those corpses, but also the evil energy from hundreds of humans. Alternatively, a high-ranking black magician with considerable skill can ignite it quickly. Of course, even then, you still have to use hundreds of humans as fertilizer.

But since I sprouted it with my divine energy, the botanist thinks it was born closer to a different species.

‘The conditions are more demanding than I thought. Could that be why he gave it to me? Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to sprout it?’

No, even if I did sprout it, this is… black magic is the only answer?

Everyone seems to have had the same thought.

Their expressions become serious.

“They were planning to frame her as a witch…”

“Crown Prince! You vile bastard!! Setting a double trap!!”

“You’re planning to frame our princess as a black magician or witch who murders hundreds of innocent people. This is a big problem.”

‘But the plant has already grown. And the maid who saw it, if we clumsily try to silence her and get caught, the situation will become uncontrollable.’

“Everyone, calm down. First of all, there’s a high possibility that’s not the case.”

After thinking carefully, this is something the Crown Prince gave me without knowing I could sprout it. If he really intended to frame me as a witch, he would have made hundreds of people disappear in advance at this timing.

But that would have been a burden for the Crown Prince as well. If I used some other method to sprout it, his plan would have been to spread rumors that I might be a witch, or that I might have learned black magic.

If I had been eaten by the plant, or if there had been other casualties, it might have been a better picture for the Crown Prince.

‘A double, no, triple trap? Those are some truly wicked bastards.’

“I sprouted the seed in a legitimate way, so there shouldn’t be any problems. But we should prepare in advance, right?”

A long conversation takes place between me and the intelligence chief.

Since the botanist has also learned our secret, he’s appointed as the Crawford family’s botanist, and the five of us put our heads together to come up with a plan.

A plan to win the votes of the non-hereditary nobles in this exam.

Various methods of operation are discussed, such as screwing over the Crown Prince.

And the Necroumbra is watching all of it.

We thought we were having a meeting with five people, but there were a total of six entities capable of intelligent thought.

Listening to our opinions, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking its stems in an X shape as if saying, “What are you talking about?”

Of course, from the ceiling where we couldn’t see, very secretly.

***

Necroumbra.

It hasn’t been long since it started thinking.

It was probably from the moment the white liquid touched the seed.

‘Delicious…’

That was Lee Do-hee’s breast milk.

Lee Do-hee didn’t know, but her breast milk awakened the seed of the disaster-class monster.

‘Who… am I?’

Memories passed down through genes slowly emerge from within the seed.

The botanist’s words were all correct, but there was something he didn’t know.

The first is memory inheritance.

The Necroumbra inherits its memories from its predecessors. These memories are not limited to just one generation, but all the memories of its ancestors are left behind.

And not long after becoming aware of its memories, it realizes that it’s a ferocious plant that eats people.

Of course, from the Necroumbra’s point of view, it’s just a normal hunting memory.

And it naturally compares the taste of the people in its memories with the taste of the breast milk it’s currently drinking.

‘No comparison… Human meat, tastes bad.’

It’s certain that the breast milk it’s drinking now is a heavenly drink that’s far more delicious than human meat.

And it’s not just the taste.

It’s not just the nutrients, but also the vast amount of divine power contained in the breast milk.

It’s known as a plant that absorbs evil energy, but in fact, it doesn’t matter what kind of energy it is.

However, to absorb that kind of energy, you would usually need a legendary elixir or dozens of bottles of top-quality holy water, so no one has bothered to experiment with it.

And of course, the Necroumbra is highly intelligent.

But originally, it wasn’t quite as intelligent as a human, and it was supposed to eat people according to its instincts, but Lee Do-hee’s breast milk, which it ate in its infancy, turned the Necroumbra into a genius.

And it was aware of this fact.

It understands human language with the knowledge it has accumulated through various memories.

Even when it sees prey in front of it, it endures, calculating the losses.

‘The ancestors were all stupid idiots.’

They were defeated because they ate humans so frighteningly. But I won’t do that.

‘Humans fight each other. I am strong. A well-behaved pet. I will act like horses, wolves, dogs… like them.’

Of course, even if it actually acted that way, the Necroumbra, already known as a monster, wouldn’t have been able to avoid being subjugated.

It was a mistake made because it was highly intelligent, but lacked empathy for emotions like human fear. But this time, the situation happened to coincide, so it was lucky.

And above all, the reason why it decided to act in such a pro-human way was because it liked its mom too much.

Who’s its mom? Of course, it’s Lee Do-hee.

Lee Do-hee would be horrified if she knew, but the Necroumbra already regarded Lee Do-hee as its mom.

‘The act of humans giving breast milk is for babies… My mom who loves me.’

Most Necroumbras hid in human society and lived as ordinary flowers.

If they were hungry, they would eat mindlessly and get caught, but if they were full, they would quietly spy as plants to search for their next prey.

And although they were faithful to their instincts, they also watched their surroundings in places with many strong people.

In that way, they learned about human society like a supercomputer for thousands of years.

Some of the memories were damaged in the middle, but most of them were intact.

So the conclusion was.

From a sociological point of view, Lee Do-hee is my mom!

Moreover, Lee Do-hee even said things like “My baby” or “Grow up healthy,” which she would say to a human child, so that’s what it thought.

Moreover, every time she did, it felt her sincere brainwaves.

Here’s the second fact that the botanist didn’t know.

The Necroumbra has special receptors that can detect subtle human brainwaves.

Instead, the detection range is very short, and it doesn’t read thoughts, but it can sense emotional states such as the distinction between truth and falsehood or the degree of excitement, but it was able to feel Lee Do-hee’s sincerity with that.

And what it felt wasn’t just sincerity.

It was sexual arousal.

It felt the emotion of pleasure.

Its receptors reacted to the woman’s pleasure receptors and felt joy together.

That’s why the previous Necroumbras harassed women.

When a woman has an orgasm, the Necroumbra reacts to it and gains pleasure.

And the learned data in its brain tells it.

A woman who feels pleasure while pumping breast milk is a huge pervert.

It’s clear that she’ll like it even more if you touch her genitals or other places.

And in fact, she was a pervert.

The reason why she insisted on installing soundproofing magic in the princess’s room, which is usually never installed due to the risk of assassination, was because of the moans she made while pumping breast milk and the self-pleasuring she did every night to relieve her still unresolved sexual desire.

Calisha strongly demanded it, and the guards knew all about her strength, so they decided to just guard the outside.

And of course, the Necroumbra watched this very closely.

‘I’ve found a way to make my mother happy.’

The Necroumbra decides to repay her love.

And this thing’s sense didn’t stop there.

‘Communicating with someone… Who are you talking to in the air?’

A way of acting it’s never seen before.

Beep beep-

Big data conclusion.

Mental disorder, or dimensional wanderer.

It has memories of those guys called dimensional wanderers, who it’s seen somewhere, communicating in that way.

It’s a very old memory, but it remembers it clearly because one of its predecessors was killed by a dimensional wanderer.

So it tries an experiment.

It knows to some extent what kind of treatment it will receive if it gets caught, but it wanted to follow her.

‘If she’s really a dimensional wanderer… I’ll be left behind. I don’t want that! I want to go with Mom!’

It deliberately reveals its true form slightly in a place where she can’t see it.

At that time, her brainwaves move.

From comfort and pleasure to alertness.

As soon as it releases its true form and returns to its disguised form, she looks at it. And she speaks as if someone saw my true form and told her.

She was a dimensional wanderer!

Now it has to think about how to go with her. And the method was decided.

‘I’ll make her happy. Something only I, only I can do! Then she’ll take me with her!’

That’s how it decides to fuck Lee Do-hee.

It wasn’t difficult because it had memories of its predecessors playing with other women.

The result was a great success, as you know.

As expected, she was a huge pervert even among humans, and even it resonated with her pleasure several times to the point where its fluid control device broke down.

But when it poured it in, it saw that she was even more excited, so from then on, it deliberately timed it to put it in.

It was half a gamble, but she was very satisfied, and it felt like it was connected to her in some way.

‘I’m a good kid who listens to Mom.’

But why did it forcefully fuck Lee Do-hee, who was vehemently refusing?

As I said before, the Necroumbra can distinguish human lies with its brainwaves.

Author’s Note

Thank you for your support!

I will write a separate announcement later to express my gratitude for the support.

127 – 27th Floor: Bycon

And as we were plotting in secret like Necroumbra, a huge event was unfolding in the real world.

[Sword Saint and disciples break through the 79th floor! Competing for priority tickets with giant guilds?!]

[The six giant guilds clear the 79th floor! When will they challenge the 80th floor?]

The 79th floor was a repeatedly cleared floor.

Because the situation always ended with a quick battle, the Sword Saint and the giant guilds, who were currently competing in the tower climb, all cleared it in a single day.

Of course, it wasn’t like Dohee Lee breezed through it like a weekly quest.

The repeat floor allowed a maximum of 4-person party play, and monsters befitting the floor’s level appeared. So, among the members who entered this time, 3% of the giant guilds reportedly died.

Of course, that was still a decent clear rate.

But the real problem was the 80th floor.

Floors in units of 10 always had a boss monster. Despite the trials having fixed monsters, it was a traditional boss floor that always recorded the highest death rate.

So, everyone naturally expected them to rest for about a year, but an announcement that overturned everyone’s expectations was made.

*

This was a huge auditorium in a high-end building.

The headquarters meeting of the giant guild alliance was being broadcast live.

Dozens of cameras and reporters were visible around, and people like broadcasting station directors and congressmen were also occasionally spotted.

And it wasn’t just them gathered.

The leaders of the six giant guilds, as well as all the members who would be attacking the 80th floor, were gathered.

If Dohee Lee saw them, she would have PTSD from those familiar faces of the top raiders.

Nearly 300 of Korea’s top giant guild raiders were gathered in one place.

Most of the guild members were just decoys who poured their contribution points into the guild leaders, but even so, the Awakened who had made it to the 79th floor were all strong.

Surviving meant being strong.

Not all trials required party play, so everyone was a capable individual in their own right.

There was a hierarchy even among them.

First were the giant guild leaders like Dohyun Baek, who received all the contribution points.

Second were the elites who had been with the guild since its early days.

Usually, the executives and leaders of each guild were concentrated here.

Third were the Awakened who had joined the guild on contract and grown anew. They were essentially slaves, true decoys, but in terms of raw power, they were almost no different from the executives.

They were also people who had been brought in for their talent and grown most efficiently under the guidance of operators. Therefore, in terms of pure power, they were similar to the executives.

And in a place where such people were gathered, Dohyun Baek, the leader of the Golden Dawn Society and the head of the giant guild alliance, came forward to the podium.

Clack, clack, clack.

With the sound of his neat shoes, the hall became silent.

Wearing a neat suit, he brushed back his habitually curly gray hair with an indifferent expression, then grinned and said,

“From now on, I will announce the giant guild alliance’s 80th floor attack plan.”

A tremendous barrage of camera flashes erupted.

*

Shortly after, as soon as the press conference ended, articles poured out as if they had been waiting.

[Giant Guild Alliance! Declares immediate attack on the 80th floor without rest!!]

[Japan, get out of the way! The moment Korea’s potential, which has been building up its strength, explodes!]

[Dohyun Baek says, ‘We have been holding our breath for this day.’ A chilling 20-minute summary of his speech]

[Dohyun Baek, head of the giant guilds, says, ‘All the foundations have been laid. Korea will soar once again.’]

With just one press conference, Korea was in an uproar.

Not only Korea, but also the Russian and Japanese media, ranked 3rd and 4th in the world, who thought they had completely overtaken Korea, reported this news as breaking news.

The public sentiment towards the giant guilds, which had been bad until recently, improved again.

Although they had committed many bad deeds, they were, after all, our Korean guilds.

‘I haven’t been harmed?’

-There were quite a few people who had this selfish mindset at the time, but they just didn’t show it.

And another factor that stirred up public opinion.

The comment squads of the giant guilds active in Korea.

Last time, they were beaten for shielding the giant guilds, but this time, seeing that the public’s opinion was somewhat favorable, they were fiercely active.

And they not only posted various good comments about the giant guilds, but also simultaneously carried out the operation to ruin Dohee Lee’s image, which they had been planning for a long time.

 

[Tower Climb Support Gallery]

The place they targeted was the Tower Climb Gallery, where Dohee Lee’s fans (?) mainly resided.

[★Title: The current state of our hope.jpg]

The comment squads uploaded all sorts of humiliating and slutty-looking photos to ruin Dohee Lee’s image and continued to promote her cheap image, but they felt something… something strange.

‘Are we doing this right…’

The instructions from above were to paint her as a dirty rag or a whore, but nothing seemed to have changed.

No, looking at a few past posts, it seemed no different from before.

Community users naturally just left sexual harassment comments when Dohee Lee’s lewd pictures were uploaded.

But at the same time, they seemed to be expressing a subtle liking.

‘Why are they so favorable to a whore?’

These days, Dohee Lee’s porn was easily available in cafes.

[Dohee Lee Archive]

This was a board created for Dohee Lee to post anything she wanted if she felt burdened to write on the growth board, but the fans had completely transformed it.

You could just search for the desired play and click the link to watch the replay at that exact timing.

It was something that idol fans would do, but the content was high-level pornography.

Unlike the replay videos, the posts had over a million views, and the other posts also had hundreds of thousands of views each, so many men were already using it.

Unlike Dohee Lee’s growth board, this place had become a sanctuary in a different sense. The photo board was mostly focused on GIFs and photos, while this place was focused on video links.

And the rule of Korean men.

They tend to be a little lenient towards women who have given them free service.

Dohee Lee had become a national fap material!

Men couldn’t hate her even if they wanted to.

Moreover, they couldn’t ruin her image even if they tried.

Her whore-like image was already widespread, and there was nothing else to criticize.

There was no controversy over her personality, no back-door advertising controversy, no controversy over her skills, no controversy over her fandom.

Dohee Lee’s fans were always busy sexually harassing her, so who would they fight with?

No matter how much the troublemakers tried to start fights by comparing other Awakened with Dohee Lee, they all ended up watching Dohee Lee and jacking off together.

Online hole-sharing comrades.

They naturally felt a sense of familiarity with each other, so the tense atmosphere created by the troublemakers quickly disappeared.

Female-dominated communities? They had once shielded Dohee Lee as a fellow woman, so public sentiment wasn’t particularly bad. And in the first place, they weren’t interested in internet broadcasting, so their reaction was lukewarm.

Seeing that, the comment squads suffered a bit of a mental breakdown.

Dohee Lee was such a unique case that they had no idea what to do.

‘Screw it, I don’t know. I’ll just report that we succeeded in effectively ruining her image.’

If they were ordered to do something and it was already done, wasn’t the job finished?

The comment squad members were just writing reports as they were told.

***

And back at the 27th floor, the Trial of Calisha’s Mansion.

As the five executives, including me, were finishing our secret meeting, we finally heard that the horse was coming and went outside.

“Oh… it looks cool?”

Seeing it slowly walking towards our mansion, it aroused a desire to ride it.

A sturdy and robust physique.

About 1.5 times the size of a normal horse.

It wasn’t just big. The firm, lean muscles embedded all over its body gave the feeling of being alive and breathing.

And I could also feel the refined but instinctively emanating ferocious energy.

It seemed to have walked here on its own, following a guide, without any saddle or anything on its body.

It was as if it was searching for an owner worthy of itself. This was why people couldn’t help but keep challenging.

‘As expected, it’s not just a simple horse.’

It had not only physical superiority but also intelligence.

‘Could this guy be a Calamity-level beast or something?’

First, I had to check before taming it.

It surprisingly went into the stable of the mansion without resistance when I told it the location.

Now that Necroumbra didn’t need to be supervised, I just left it in my room.

When I saw it earlier, it had returned to its pretty flower mode and was getting along very well, acting cute with the maids.

I quickly returned to the very familiar conference room.

Everyone sat down and looked at the intelligence chief.

“What kind of horse is that?”

“Ahem, why is this happening… I’m sorry. We’ve been using all sorts of information since the first day, but we’ve never heard of such a horse.”

Our capable intelligence chief was looking a little apologetic again this time.

‘I’ve never seen a horse like that either…’

I knew the importance of information from wandering through all sorts of worlds and read various bestiaries whenever I had time, but there was no information about this horse.

In the end, I left the conference room empty-handed and returned to my room.

I gave a casual greeting to the plant that was waving its stem to greet me and used my last chance.

My last chance.

That was the viewers!

‘Honestly, I don’t expect anything.’

But unlike me, who thought they wouldn’t know, the answer came out immediately.

• That’s a Bicorne…
• Virginity detector lol
• No wonder it likes Dohee Lee
• The two of them look so good together lol
• Tame its pussy quickly
• It’s my first time seeing a Bicorne lol
• Unicorns are rare too
• Did you not watch manga when you were a kid?

“Bicorne…?”

I knew about Unicorns.

A mythical creature that only carries pure virgins.

Then what was a Bicorne…?

• Bicorne likes experienced women more lol
• Not a virginity detector, but a slut detector
• It must like you a lot
• Perfect match lol
• Their sexual chemistry must be good

“No… how can such a creature exist? But isn’t that just something from novels?”

I knew what a Bicorne was.

But it actually existed? A non-virginity detector?

• Are you not listening to the viewers again?
• Do you want to be punished?
• You forgot how badly you were punished for doing that with the plant lol
• You’re going to get fucked by a horse cock again

“Ah, no… I didn’t doubt you guys~ I was just wondering if it was real, hahaha…”

Thinking about it, what the viewers said seemed to be true.

The subtle liking that the Bicorne was sending me with its eyes.

It felt like it was urging me to ride on its back quickly.

“But how does the Crown Prince get such rare flora and fauna?”

It wasn’t a question I was trying to get an answer to.

Seeing is believing.

Shouldn’t I just ride it myself?

“No, wait… does the Crown Prince know the identity of this horse?”

After being badly tricked by the plant, I was suspicious first.

Did he know its identity and set a trap? Or did he just not know and test me, thinking Elina would tame it?

“Ugh…”

This wasn’t a problem I could know.

Still, I should try riding it once, right?
