It began on anight like any other. Finals week was at an end, and Lynn and I had hiked out into the woods near campus. A few months back, we'd found a clearing with a nice little hill that made a surprisingly good spot for stargazing. Since then, it had been our special spot, and we were really looking forward to a nice relaxing night together. 

I wish I could say there was a meteor shower or an eclipse or a planetary alignment, or at least a super blood moon or something, but it was just a calm spring night. 

It was a really anticlimactic time for the apocalypse. 

The first sign something had happened was a sudden blaze of aurora, red and pink across the heavens. Lynn scrambled up from the blanket we were lying on.

"What the f- Lily!? Are you-"

"Y-yeah, I see it, too! What could-" 

I was cut off by a massive rumbling as the earth began to shudder and rise beneath our feet. Lynn's scream was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

-

I wasn't sure when I woke up; it was hard to differentiate from unconsciousness. I didn't feel like I was floating in a black void, because that would at least imply I had eyes to see and a body to feel - instead, I felt nothing at all. 

I couldn't feel toes to wiggle, a heartbeat starting to race, or a stomach to feel clenching with fear. I desperately tried to reach out, to sense something, to move something, to no avail. Was I in a coma? Paralyzed? I tried to reassure myself that I was thinking, was feeling at least fear and horror, so there must be something of me still alive. I dread, therefore I am.

As I focused on thinking of that as a small spark of hope to cling to, I became aware of a nagging feeling in my mind, somewhere between knowing I've forgotten something and the sense of being watched. Focusing on it, I suddenly felt as though a new sense had come to me, and words popped into my mind -

*Congratulations! You are now a Level 1 Dungeon Core!*

...what? Those were NOT my thoughts. Not even the intrusive kind; somehow I was absolutely sure that these were coming from outside of me. Reeling, I didn't parse the meaning of the words themselves before, just as abruptly -

*Perk obtained: Dungeon Sense!*

And there was light. I could see! I could see... a stone room? No... my stone room. That felt right for some reason. And a corridor - my corridor - stretched out ahead, and somehow I knew how it turned further on and joined my other corridors. My viewpoint drifted forward as I thought of it, and I found I could control it.

Belatedly, I finally processed what the words had told me. This was... me. I was this dungeon. Though, no, that didn't sound quite right, as I thought it. It was merely part of me, an extension of me? I turned my view, towards the back wall of the room, and saw a glowing red sphere, half-protruding from the wall - and knew, instinctively, that this was me, my self, my dungeon core. 

And sticking right out of it were the unmistakable lips of a big red vulva.

Oh god, no, I thought, numb with disbelief. I'm a dungeon... core. My whole being is a fucking sex pun. And not even a good one! This can't be happening! 

I saw my core twitch as I processed this - oh! I could feel that! 

I was yanked out of spiraling into horror at the whole situation by the blessed relief of feeling a bodily sensation. It was alien and unfamiliar, to be sure, but it was something!

I looked closer, focusing on the source of that sensation. I still couldn't really move much, but I focused on clenching, on the source of that sensation, and got another twitch for my efforts. Now that my view was closer, I could see that my core was... wobbling ever-so-slightly? Like a flan, or jello? 

Okay. Okay, okay, I'm a... a goo-cunt stuck in a wall, I thought. A wall that's also part of me, sort of. ...at least I'm a kind of pretty goo-cunt? I did always want one. Careful what I wish for, I guess?

My train of thought was derailed as I heard a panicked shout.

"Lily?! LILY?! Are you in there?"

My viewpoint was suddenly wrenched to my entrance - that is, my dungeon's entrance, not - oh, it's obvious what I meant! 

Reeling with vertigo, I was met with a view of Lynn's frightened face peeking in a stone archway to the woods outside. It seems like she'd changed a bit too; she now had cat ears and a cat nose, and a tail swishing anxiously behind her, slightly puffed up.

I tried to scream 'I'm here, Lynn!' but all I could do was think it as hard as I could.

She sniffed the air with that new nose, and her face steeled with resolve. "That's her, I'm sure she's in there," she mumbled to herself before shouting again. "I'm coming, Lily!"

My sweetheart, always looking out for me! She determinedly set off down my hallways, and I could somewhat sense every footfall on my stone floors. It didn't feel like a bodily touch; it was more muted, less visceral. LaCroix touch, I joked to myself. Still, I could unerringly place each step within my corridors. If I focused, I could sort-of-feel a mental 'map' of my room and halls.

As I followed Lynn, I took a moment to look more at my corridors themselves; I hadn't yet. They were smooth gray stone, with no seams or divisions into blocks like you'd see in a normal structure. 

There were also no lights, I belatedly realized - I could still see clear as day, but Lynn was using her phone's flashlight. Her cute little kitty nose sniffed as she reached each intersection, heading right for my core. There weren't many of them; a few turns later, she was staring at me.

O-oh... now that she was right there, I was feeling flushed. She was staring right at my bare cunt, on display for her. And, shit, I was getting wet. I felt my core twitch and clench... and was that a scent in the air? Just as I was seeing, I could also smell something in the air. There was what I realized to my mortification was the smell of my own slick, and a faint smell of Lynn, but there was something else... something good...

Lynn was sniffing too, and I could see her face flushing red, but she was - glaring? 'Lynn, it's me,' I tried to say, to no avail. Lynn strode forward, her eyes dilating. 

"Okay, I know some fucking dungeon puzzle when I see one. I don't know what's going on, but I do know Lily's in here somewhere," she said, approaching my core, and starting to slip off her clothes. "And no freak aurora, no earthquake, and no fucking pervert sex dungeon are going to stop me from saving her!"

Oh no. She thought the core was a lock or puzzle or something keeping me sealed away from her!

She stripped her panties off, and - oh fuck, she was so hard! There really must have been something in the air to get her that worked up already. I wanted to tell her, warn her, but there was nothing I could do. And to be honest, as surreal as this was, I couldn't help feeling really excited for this. How many times had I fantasized about her fucking my pussy?

Lynn braced herself against the wall with one arm, staring down at me intently as she lined up her hen with my entrance. I could see that she was already wet too, her head glistening with precum.

Her head touched my lips - oh! Her touch was like fire, molten heat spreading my lips apart. My core was quivering with excitement as she found my entrance and plunged in.

Fuck, she was so thick! Had her hen gotten bigger too? She spread me wide around her girth, pushing relentlessly into me. I was so wet and excited to take her, she slid right in - I clenched tight around her reflexively and heard her gasp softly. Oh Lynn, I wish I could tell you I'm here, tell you I love you!

She paused once she was inside of me, looking around the room expectantly. When nothing happened, she glared at my core again, fear and rage glinting in those sweet eyes. She pulled back and started fucking me in earnest at a brutal and punishing pace.

"Hhhhah... WHERE... IS... SHE?" she panted as she rutted into me. 

My core wobbled and shuddered at her onslaught; I was helpless, unable to do anything but take her. I clenched down on her with each thrust, waves of pleasure rocking through me. If the lack of sensation before was terrifying, now I was drowning in it. 

I felt Lynn's pace grow erratic. She was biting her lip, face flushed - her hen throbbed inside me, and with a low moan she came!

I could feel each hot pulse of her cum shooting deep into my core, and I squeezed tight around her, eager for as much as she could give!

Come to think of it, I could feel her cum within me very distinctly. As it filled me, an invigorating feeling of power spread through me, my core, even my halls felt like they were thrumming with energy! I felt tingly, almost punch-drunk, delirious with this new strange feeling.

<Lynn, yes, I love you so much, god you fill me up so good, Lynn!> I thought, passionately. 

Lynn jerked back, shock on her face. "Lily?! Was that you?!"

<YOU CAN HEAR ME?> I thought, excitedly. <It's me, Lynn! I'm here! I'm the core!>

She backed up, pulling out abruptly, horror creeping onto her face. "You're the-? Oh. Oh God, Lily, I'm so sorry, I didn't know-"

<No, it's okay, don't apologize!> I hurriedly told her. <You couldn't have known, and I- I liked it!>

She looked at me, guilt and relief mixed on her face. "I- I did too," she admits. "I don't know what came over me, I was so afraid for you and then... that smell..."

<Yeah. That must have come from me, I don't know how.>

She laughed shakily. "Who knows how ANY of this is happening!"

I noticed that nagging sensation was at the back of my mind again and had been for a while, growing more insistent. I let the words in -

*Congratulations! You are now a Level 2 Dungeon Core!*

*Perk obtained: Psychic Bond!*

*New title available: "Pervert Sex Dungeon!"*

<Oh, you've GOT to be kidding me.>
