A little over three months had passed since Misaki discovered that she was a girl and Reiko had become her pet. Misaki had spent most of that time either sulking or cursing Dewari in fits of rage. Only now was she calming down for the most part. Misaki hadn’t been entirely idle either and had purchased the Lesser Demonic Harpy and the Lesser Arachnid during that period for 100 dp, and had purchased her third floor for 30 dp.

She had made the third floor a massive cavern with treacherous pathways over massive drops and slippery paths to the dark and damp bottom. Which was where the Arachnid demons made their homes. She had built harpy nests near the ceiling of the cavern, to harass the adventures from the air. Throughout the floor she had placed hidden switches and puzzles that needed to be solved in order to open a locked door that led to the core room.

 While looking through the store she had seen two monsters she would like to save up for, the first being a Lesser Demonic Lamia, which is a C rank monster and the other being a Lesser Dragon Girl, the cost of these was 100 dp and 5000 dp respectively. She had been waiting for adventures to enter her domain so she could start gaining dp. According to Dewari, she would gain one dp per level of the adventurer for everyday they were in her dungeon and 20 dp when she first defeats the adventurer. She would also gain 20 mana per level of the adventure daily while they are in her dungeon. If they participated in acts of lust while here, she would gain demonic energy.

She could use those resources for things like evolving her monsters. She had found the evolution option in the monster manager. It was used to spawn monsters and control their spawn rate and level for a particular area. To evolve a D rank demon it would cost 500 demonic energy, 5000 mp and five dp. Speaking of demonic energy, she had found it could also be used to grant her monsters and pets traits. It had cost her 10 dp, 500 mana and all of her demonic energy but she had granted Reiko the demon skin trait and given her the extra role of wandering boss. She had also spent 50 dp on a book called On Magic, it was mostly a theory on the basics of magic and included a number of spells, from the simple basic spells like firebolt to the more complex third level spells. 

Reiko was excited as she moved down the hall. It was almost time for Misaki to teach her some spells. She loved this time, since it was the only time of the day she got her Master’s undivided attention. The rest of any given day, Master barely paid her any attention and Reiko’s thoughts were preoccupied with the subject. “It would be so much fun if Master would manifest and then we could play together,” She thought, as she daydreamed about getting to play with Master. “No, bad girl, don’t daydream about that. Don’t let that goddess win. Ah, but it would be so nice if Master played with me. No, no, stop, don’t think about that,” were the thoughts of Reiko as she rounded the corner and then opened the hidden entrance to the core room. The moment she heard Master’s voice in her head greeting her, she felt a surge of joy. 

Misaki had been teaching her pet a new spell, when suddenly she noticed a presence outside her dungeon, and she shifted her attention outside. Standing outside her dungeon was a group of five individuals, and it looked like a harem. There was a human male, two beastkin females, a human girl and a female dwarf. At first Misaki had thought the Dwarf was a little girl until she had analyzed her since the dwarf looked like a loli.

Thomas was a handsome enough individual. With brown hair and eyes, he looked to be about 180 centimeters in height dressed in sturdy steel and leather armor. Amy, the ranger, was a pretty girl, about 160 cms tall with average breasts, brown eyes and hair. She was wearing leather armor that was form-fitting and had a skirt. Mei was a cute-looking catkin with reddish-brown hair and a long tail, her breasts were small, about an A cup, and she looked to be a little shorter than Amy at around 155 cms. Her clothes were a dark leather shirt that left her belly exposed and shorts with a hole for her tail. The wolfkin, Eri, was a bit larger than Mei, with black and silver hair. She was wearing leather armor that emphasized her figure. As for the Dwarf, she had black hair and green eyes. She was only around 130 cms, and her breasts appeared to be B cups. Her clothing was form-fitting chainmail. Misaki then focused on their conversation.

“It’s a dungeon, we have to check it out!” Thomas said, clearly excited.

“Brother, we are supposed to be searching for the hideout of the bandits that killed the Third Princess of Stormwind, not exploring dungeons. Besides this one isn’t on the map, we should report it to the guild and collect the finder’s fee.” said Amy.

“But it’s a dungeon! And I thought she was kidnapped by the bandits, not killed,” replied Thomas.

“It’s been three months. If she was alive, she would have been found by now, or the bandits would have sent a ransom demand, she’s dead,” said Amy.

“I think we should at least look inside, and see what kind of challenge it presents,” said Eri.

“This is a bad idea,” said Mei.

“Okay that's two in favor and two against,” said Thomas.

“Let’s just look at the first floor,” said Mara.

“Then it's decided, we are exploring the first floor,” said Thomas.

As the group headed towards the entrance, Amy muttered “This is a really bad idea,” under her breath.

In the core room, as the intruders entered the dungeon, Misaki told Reiko that the lesson was over before focusing the entirety of her attention on the intruders. Reiko’s thoughts weren’t very happy. “Stupid adventures hogging Master’s attention. This was supposed to be my time with Master. No Reiko, bad girl, don’t let it get to you.” Were Reiko thoughts, despite her efforts to suppress the effects of the traits. They were still affecting her, and making her mad and unhappy that she was losing the only attention Master gave her. Suddenly a thought occurred to her, “I’ll beat them up and then Master will praise me! Oh, that will be nice,” thought Reiko as she started to daydream about her master’s attention again before rushing into the hidden corridors towards the first floor.

POV Thomas:

 

The adventurers entered the first room to find they were facing two demons, a demon girl and a lesser beastkin demon. The party instantly assumed a combat formation as Mara intercepted the first strike and Thomas thought, “This is awesome, we get to fight naked girls. Though they’re a little young for my taste.”

Thomas charged at the beastkin demon, while Amy readied her bow and then used her skill Triple Arrow on the mage. Mei moved to flank the mage, while Eri moved to support Thomas’s attack, Mara maintained a defensive position ready to shield her comrades.

The Lesser Demon Girl responded to their attack by casting a demonic drain mana spell, which struck Mara. Then Thomas charged the demon girl, and used his heavy strike skill. While Mei used her Twin Dagger skill, while the other two moved to check on Mara.

“This is great, this dungeon isn’t so tough!” said Thomas

“This is only the first room, and we had both a number and level advantage. We will almost certainly encounter stronger monsters further in! Also that spell had drained all of Mara’s mana. Imagine what would have happened if there had been more demons, or if these two had been stronger”

“Ahh, we would have been fine. As long as we're together, we could win even if the demon was level one hundred” boasted Thomas.

“Why does my brother have to be an idiot?” thought Amy, before replying. “One of these days you’re going to get one or more us hurt and my medicine won’t help.” After collecting the dropped loot, which amounted to a handful of silver coins, the group proceeded to exit the room and take the corridor deeper into the dungeon. A few meters down the corridor they came across a fork in the path. One led straight, the other turned to the right.

Thomas immediately moved to head straight, and Mei cried out, “No wait I haven’t ...” Only before she could finish, Thomas stepped on a Pitfall trap.

“...checked for traps, yet.”

You have triggered a Pitfall trap

You have taken 2000 critical damage!

You have died!

Realm of False Death effect will activate in 2:00 minutes.

 

“Ah, crap. We don’t have a rez spell, guess I’ll have to take the hit, this sucks. My first dungeon dive ending before it could even get started,” thought Thomas. 

Two minutes later a blue screen popped up, and Thomas rematerialized at the dungeon entrance.

 

You are being teleported to entrance

Curse of Lost Manhood activated.

Congratulations! You are now a girl!

 

Thomas was still staring at the message, when his, or rather her, party came out of the dungeon.

“Who are you? Why are you naked and where’s Thomas? The notification said he should have been teleported here,” said Amy.

“I am Thomas!” cried Thomas, only to be shocked at the cute sound of her voice. Amy used Analyze on her and then started to laugh.

“I told you, you were going to get hurt one of these days. Oh, you should probably look at your stats,” said Amy as she started looking through her pack. Thomas opened her stats and almost cried when she saw that her physical abilities had dropped, although her magical ability improved.

Thomas was staring at her new stats when Amy found what she was looking for. She offered it to Thomas, and said “Here, wear this.”

The offered object was a simple grey dress and a matching pair of panties.

“I’m not wearing a dress!” said Thomas. 

“You are most certainly not walking around naked. We are heading back to town and you are wearing the dress. Eri, Mei, help me dress her,” said Amy. Next thing Thomas knew, she had been forced into the dress and panties and was now being dragged back to town.

------Interlude------

Two weeks later, at the Headquarters of the Church of Light. Several figures were gathered around a table discussing a report they had received about a new dungeon reported to the adventurer’s guild.

“According to the report, it appears to be a demonic dungeon of lust. Although we can’t be sure until the guild’s evaluation team reports back. Although the adventurers who discovered it reported to the guild that it has the Curse of Lost Manhood trait,”

“Oh, that sounds useful, the perfect place to train our priests. If they happen to fail, they will become girls and make good playthings for us.”

“Yes, and the dungeon appears to be young. So we should have little trouble conquering it and binding it to our will.”

“Our slavers in the Retha Wildlands will be very happy, female beastkin tend to sell for ten times that of a male, easier to train, too.”

“Ha, ha and all that extra cash will flow into your pockets, just remember to give some to the church. We need more troops to purge the heretics from the land, and bring down that vile Church of the Dark,” said another as he spat.

“Well, there’s nothing left on the agenda for today. We can’t make plans for a dungeon we know almost nothing about, so let's adjourn. I have a lovely new plaything to train.”
