Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

All it did was throw Bai Chuan of the Cat Ear Family into the air, and in the moment she fell, it opened its mouth and stuffed her into its body. Amid the boiling of the dissolving fluid inside, Bai Chuan only managed to let out a whimper before only her hardest bones remained.

"Wuhu, it's over! We're about to be wiped out!"

Emperor Ha slapped his forehead, watching his little friends being stuffed into the Gluttonous Slime's stomach one after another, and could only sigh heavily as he stowed his weapons into his Space Backpack.

Damn it, don't let my equipment drop!

Seeing five Slimes approach, he viciously kicked one of them, and the annoyed Slimes attacked him all at once.

With a scream, Emperor Ha, torn into pieces and divided by five, quickly turned into a stream of light and returned to the Resurrection Point.

...

[Location: Newman Domain - Prairie Resurrection Point]

A flash of light passed, and as his flesh regenerated, Emperor Ha walked out from the Resurrection Point with a heavy expression.

Right upon exiting, he saw Bai Chuan of the Cat Ear Family about to cry and said with a shrug:

"Don't cry, after all, it's your first time entering the Dungeon. It's already quite good that you didn't die immediately."

"But... but if I had managed to kill that Slime right away, we wouldn't have been surrounded!" Bai Chuan said, blaming herself.

"Actually, mainly it's because those Slimes don't look cute at all. It's still a bit stressful to fight them."

The player playing the MT role, Xiao Wen, scratched his head, and in fact, it was not just Bai Chuan, he too was quite scared of those Slimes.

"After all, watching your teammates being captured and thrown into the bellies of the Slimes, in those translucent bodies, first corroding the epidermis, exposing the flesh below, then the flesh also being corroded rapidly, leaving nothing but bubbling bones..."

Honestly, seeing that at first was still somewhat distressing, so...

He wanted to use this reasoning to comfort Bai Chuan, but saw her pulling a face and saying quietly:

"I was caught mid-air by it (the Gluttonous Slime), and didn't see anything."

Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment, his face showing a goofy expression.

Right, there's no fear if you didn't see anything, just purely unskilled!

He was not very good at communicating with others, only managing to scratch his head and after a long time squeezed out:

"Don't worry, next time we will surely turn the tables!"

Bai Chuan nodded with tears in her eyes.

She was determined to save enough money to buy a weapon long enough, so that if the range of the War Mage's "Hand" series of magic attacks was not enough, she would make up for it with the length of the weapon.

She began to imagine herself swinging a 40-meter long sword, then allowing the Gluttonous Slimes to run 39 meters before chopping them, feeling considerably better at the thought.

"Ah, the Dungeon is indeed much more troublesome than we imagined!"

The group squatted around the Resurrection Point to review the situation of the recent battle.

Soon, they started seeing bursts of light in the Resurrection Point, likely other teams who had entered the Dungeon with them to tackle the Gluttonous Slime nest.

Clearly, their fate wasn't much better than theirs; they too were wiped out.

...

People sat on the grass around the Resurrection Point, their faces slightly grim.

This is Newman Domain, a new territory adjacent to Lancaster.

When a player known as "Great Tree of Infinity" took on a quest from Brother Kael, requiring a sufficiently large number of players to form a raid team to meet certain standards, they could officially start the large-scale mission "Cross-Territory Conquest Battle".

The news had caused quite a stir when it was posted on the forums.

Now, with a multitude of public test players pouring in, many aspiring adventurers were frantically searching for Dungeons.

Unfortunately, the major Dungeons across the continent were typically organized by local forces, systematically being developed.

Including the Dungeons of Lancaster, to gain entry, one must obtain a pass issued by the Lord Mansion or the local professional association.

If you tried to break through directly, you might encounter spatial turbulence and die instantly.

Conversely, creatures from inside the Dungeon could run out without any restrictions.

Originally, it was not like this; the indigenous people of the Divine Land could directly enter the Dungeon, and Dungeon creatures could directly enter the Divine Land as well.

Until one day, a rising racial power quietly sent people into the Dungeon using a Taboo Weapon, initiating a genocidal massacre against the creatures of the Dungeon.

In just one night, that racial power's central Dungeon was destroyed and reshaped seven times.

Though they gained a vast amount of territory, the rewards they earned were directly destroyed by the opposing forces.

And, because they had raided the Dungeon seven times consecutively, the already difficult Dungeon was elevated to an almost unbearable level for them.

The ultimate outcome was that the land was overwhelmed by Dungeon monsters flooding out, having become a devastated land due to human folly.

Since that incident, the rules for entering Dungeons had changed.

Without the permission of the local Lord or specific persons, carrying a specially issued pass with a strand of the world's will, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to pass through the "Gate to the Underworld" to enter the Dungeon directly.
