So, what do you expect when you hear the word kitsune? Sothing relating to foxes of coarse. Then you add a bit of magic, multiple tails, a humanoid appearance, and you begin to have so form of expectations of what they look like.
Thus, when the illusion disappears and several dozen beings appear, you can bet that most likely Quasi wouldn't blink an eye. After all, the hired [Hero] has lived many lifetis and has seen a great deal of things, both magical and not.
So when won with various numbers of fluffy tails appear, all looking to have a rather clear asian heritage, you can only imagine how little this would affect Quasi.
Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple.
Ughhhhhhh, Quasi groans loudly.
Seriously? You all couldn't be bothered to actually wear clothes? Sothing to at least cover your lady parts?
He wipes his face, goddammit, I can feel my stupid libido going off.
And just as surprising, his words find themselves causing confused looks to form upon the faces of the naked won with fluffy tails, fluffy ears, and patches of fur on their arms and legs.
One such woman with six tails, all with stripes of green on each tail, begins to sniff the air. Her eyes widen as she turns to the only kitsune with nine tails.
Volpe, he is releasing so rather potent pheromones. I believe he wishes to mate, she says.
Volpe raises an eyebrow as she continues her now curious gaze towards the man. After all, humans, if the knowledge past down from generations is to be believed, should not be able to produce such a thing.
With but a thought, she activates her [Advanced Analyse] skill, and to her complete surprise, finds it not fail. Instead, it rely does not work. She tests it on the other two, the female human is a level 102 [Priestess] while the Gejan is a 176 [Berserker] that she feels she had t before but cannot rember.
You, what are you? she asks the man who continues to whine like a child over such a thing as nudity and clothing.
I am-
Patriarch!
Volpe swivels her head towards her sister Yeosa who had yelled.
Yeosa continues.
I sense many gods upon him. Five marks are active, one is not. The one that isnt is from our Goddess Himiko.
Her words are said and heard by all the won, each beginning to talk, many repeating the words Patriarch and Savior.
Of course, during this whole ti, a certain [Hero] struggles.
_____________________________
Did she just fucking say pheromones? Why the fuck am I producing pheromones?
It's Loki. Its fucking Loki isn't it?
I suppress my emotions while taking deep breaths. The won are attractive, every single one of them is. Which makes this whole thing so difficult to deal with. Im barely able to focus on the conversations going around.
Sothing about gods, marks, Himiko, and of course the word Patriarch. Can't forget that.
Gazing at them while holding my emotions, I begin to ascertain what I am dealing with.
Advanced Analyse Partially Successful.
Rimika
Level 210 [Electromancer]
One of the Kitsune, Rimika has six tails and is a master in the manipulation and creation of electricity. Two of her tails resonate with wind mana, two with Light mana, one with earth mana, and one with fire mana.
200 fuck. What about the others?
Astarte level 189 [Magmamancer]
Eiri level 232 [Grand Geomancer]
Reita level 273 [Grand Biomancer]
Ok, ok, dont fuck with the Kitsune. Each and everyone of them can fuck up. Especially the ones with lots of tails. They seem to be higher level.
My gaze continues on each and every one of them. I morize their classes and levels, all easily blocking my skill from getting the full information regarding them.
Except for one. She seems to not block my skill, the reason alludes and frightens the living shit out of .
Volpe the Unending Storm
Level 371 [Elentalist]
Volpe is the Matriarch of the kitsune. She is the strongest of them and the only one who has been nad. She has obtained her na after creating a multi-elental storm that wiped out all life on the fifth dungeon floor. She is currently the only kitsune that has the full nine tails.

Like seriously. She is almost level four hundred. And what the heck is that class and those two new stats. Is she able to control all of the elents or sothing? More importantly, she is nad. Jessica said that nad people could single-handedly wipe out armies. Which begs the question, how big is the fifth floor
No, don't touch that. It will ki-ll....
A bit of mana is sensed near and I turn towards a very dumbfounded Jessica. Her gaze on the naked Kitsune next to her. In her hand is the [Necklace of Enslavent].
hmmmm, this is a rather interesting enchantnt. There are many orders and restrictions on it. Did you make this? the kitsune asks .
Did she just remove the necklace without it going off? Did she just deactivate it while I wasn't looking?
Jessica continues to look bewildered while her hands are touching her collarless neck.
[Advanced Analyze]
Fuyeko
Level 183 [Grand Enchantress]
Fuyeko is a three tailed kitsune who specializes in enchantnts. She is currently the lowest level of all kitsune due to a lack of enchantnts for her to study and practice.
Ok, that makes sense considering her class and level. Removing and disabling such an enchant would probably be child's play for her.
Nope, I say as I remove the [Ring of Enslavent] from my finger and hand it to her, but Im glad you removed it from her. This ring is connected to it.
She takes the ring from my hand. I sense a release of mana a second after. Her eyebrows widen, Oh, I see. It's made of tal. The enchant seems to use a constant supply of mana to suppress the explosive enchant on the collar. Mmmm, very interesting. tal seems to be effec-
Thank you!
The Kitsune nad Fuyeko is interrupted as a crying Jessica rams into her and gives the won a hug. Tears are flowing from her eyes while Fuyeko looks utterly perplexed and unprepared over what is happening.
Scratching the side of my head, I look to Zorren who looks on annoyed at the whole situation. The Kitune are talking among each other, many pointing in my direction and pretty much ignoring . The one nad Volpe is talking to another Kitsune by the na of Yeosa. Her levels are similar to the others as is her class.
Yeosa
Level 221 [Chancellor]
Yeosa is a loyal follower of the Goddess Himiko. She has four tails and is respected and revered by all of the kitsune.
Her words regarding marks and gods might dictate a better understanding over the marks on my body. Which, as far as I know, don't do anything.
Feeling a bit peeved at being ignored, I raise my hands, activate [Loud Voice], and then clap.
BOOOOOMMMMM
A loud wave of sound is creating which quickly silences everyone and turns their gaze towards .
My na is Quasi Eludo and I am a summoned [Hero] that has been tasked with destroying the world. I have entered this dungeon to create an army, level up, and of course to conquer it, I pause a mont to make sure all are listening, considering your levels, I can already guess that you have tried to leave but have failed. Thus, if you assist , then I will lead you out into the world outside.
As I finish my words, I look around and am greeted with expressions of interest and confusion. Not exactly what I was expecting. Especially the laughing which begins a mont after.
It starts with Volpe and then spreads to all of the others. Laughter and giggles, all of which are directed at .
Why is it that my expectations are always shattered. Can I just get one day where everyone behaves like they are supposed to?
The one nad Yeosa walks up to alongside Volpe,the laughter slowly dying down, her smile radiant and very distracting as is her body.
It seems you do not realize why we laugh, she exclaims as she stops before . Her hand extends and touches my arm. It moves up to my shoulder, then on my back and finally stops at my lower back.
Here take off your clothes Patriarch. Show us the mark.
Really woman? Your naked and putting your hands on . And now you want to undress? Have you any idea how difficult it is to keep my boner in check?
Yeosa, I do believe any more contact with him will force him to lose control. He reeks of wanting sex and your touch is not helping.
Yeosa turns and looks to Volpe, Can you not suppress him? she asks, but Volpe shakes her head.
His aura is extrely thick. Thicker than any I have ever felt. I seem to not be able to affect him at all.
Just put so clothes on, I say while biting my lip.
What the fuck is this. Why is this so fucking hard? Am I going mad again?
Volpe turns towards another.
Reita, please make so clothes for us.
The Kitsune nods, her eyes begin to glow a light green as do the stripes of her six tails. Mana explodes from her, it enters the ground. The grass begins to grow quickly, weaving around all the kitsune, crisscrossing, eventually forming a green dress around each of them.
As they beco fully clothed in re seconds, my mind finally begins to relax.
Im going to need to figure this problem out, otherwise i'm going to get killed by naked won warriors or sothing just as absurd.
Are you feeling better Patriarch? she asks.
I nod, Much better. Thank you, I say, my heartbeat slowing down to sothing approaching normal.
Good, now undress.
A small glint of anger rises in my mind at the order, but then it disappears just as fast when I rember all of their absurd levels compared to my own.
I unbuckle my robe and throw it back. It lands on Mule who does nothing but stand there like a statue the entire ti. I do the sa with my shirt.
___________________________
Volpe gazes strongly at the man as he removes his shirt which reveals a chiseled chest and dense muscles. Of course, such things do not interest her in the least. Kitsune, thanks to their rather long lifespans, will eventually outgrow lust based on looks.
She looks at his shoulders, finding the mark of a spider and the mark of a wolf. Two different gods out of the six marked.
Yeosa cares little for those marks. Instead, she grabs his shoulder and forces him to turn around which reveals two more marks. His upper back has a circle with several crisscrossing ones within.
But the lower back is what Volpe cares about most. A gray picture of a foxes back without tails. Normally, the tails would be from a kitsune which would finish the image, but a human does not have tails, thus it only ends at the tailbone.
It seems to be her mark Yeosa.
Yeosa touches the mark, tracing her finger along the edges of the image.
It is not only her mark, it is her Divine Mark. The strongest a god can give, just like the one on his upper back, Yeosa exclaims while pointing above.
Volpe can only nod in acknowledgnt. Yeosa is a [Chancellor], a class dedicated to the gods. Her ability to sense the mark of the gods is one benefit of her class.
It seems our goddess has planted the mark upon him but has not gifted her power yet. The reasoning is unclear, though my best guess would be regarding the other Divine Mark.
Two divine marks cannot be active at the sa ti? Volpe asks.
Yeosa shrugs, I do not know. I don't believe two divine marks have ever been on a single individual before. It is as good a guess as any.
Volpe nods, her own hand now on the man, what does this other Divine Mark do?
Yeosa frowns, It hides him from the world.
Ahhh, I see. That is why I could gleam nothing from him. Impressive then.
The body wiggles, the man turns his head, his face showing annoyance.
So, um, talking about gods and stuff is nice and all, but would it be better to take this sowhere else, like possibly your ho. Instead of, you know, staring at my bare back in the middle of a forest.
Apologies, Volpe says.
She turns to the others, all of which have been silently waiting and staring at the mans back, listening to the conversation between her and Yeosa.
He is indeed the patriarch.
A cheer is yelled as all the Kitsune begin walking towards the Patriarch, each putting their hands upon him.
Oh co on, does it have to be now? Oy, no, don't grab there. Hey, wait, don't take that. Ow, soone just pinched . Ahhh, don't grab my ass.
The patriarch looks around, the won have him surrounded.
Jessica, Zorren, help eeeeee. Please. Theyre so graaaabbbyyyyyyy.
Volpe chuckles at the new patriarch as he fights away the swarms of hands. The Gejan nad Zorren just stands annoyed while the human nad Jessica is passed out hugging a very confused Fuyeko.
_________________________________
Shirt on and a cloak covering , I follow Volpe with a small army of very grabby Kitsune, each one gazing strongly at . Lovingly actually. Like so kind of obsessive cult. The worst part about it is that each and every one of them could probably beat in a fair fight and Volpe could probably rip my ass open in an unfair fight.
I shake my head as I look to Zorren who, as usual, looks annoyed. As for Jessica, she is being carried by mule. Apparently she passed out from being so happy that her collar was removed.
I'm going to need to make fun of her later over that
I look around and find that the fog has grown rather thick. Unnaturally so.
Volpe.
Yes Patriarch?
How much longer to your ho?
Volpe gives a smile and waves her hand.
We are here, she answers before disappearing into the fog.
Ok, fine. Be cryptic. Everyone seems to enjoy being cryptic for so reason. It would be so nice if I can get a nice direct answ-
The fog disappears and a clearing with a massive glowing tree is revealed. The branches hover over the entire clearing with glowing fruit dangling from it. The whole area is illuminated and my senses tell a lot of mana is being pumped into the fruit to create the light.
The tree has many holes throughout it with a main entrance at the very bottom next to Volpe what the hell is that? I ask.
Volpe chuckles while showing her sharp teeth, An annoyance that has now been put to good use.
I swallow my saliva at the sight. A glowing stone, clearly a dungeon stone that connects to the system. Nothing wrong with that. But on top of the stone is a sight to behold. A massive monster with at least a hundred eyes, all of which are blinking around. On its back are several crystal spikes that extend out into the air. My senses tell that mana is being converged towards the crystals. A very large amount of mana.
But the monster cannot move. Dozens of roots from the tree have wrapped around and through the monster. Many roots have penetrated deep into the skin. These roots pulse every few seconds with mana.
[Advanced Analyze]
Animo, Guardian of the Fourth floor level 217
Animo is the fourth line of defense against those who wish to travel through the dungeon. This monster accels at using powerful mind attacks to manipulate and control the minds of others. Its eyes are adapted at seeing through objects and through the fog prevalent on the fourth floor. This monster, due to constant deaths, has been enhanced several tis upon its creation.
Greater Enhanced Vision
Grand Mana Regeneration
Hardened Skeleton
Grand Fire resistance
Lightning Deflection
Grand Regeneration
Enhanced Intelligence
Grand Poison Resistance
Grand Magic Resistance
Damn you turned the boss of this floor into your own personal mana battery.
Volpre shrugs, I do not know what a battery is, but Animo here has been killed by us many tis, although it had gotten stronger each ti it returned. So as to avoid a future headache, we captured it and now drain all of its mana constantly while forcefully feeding it so as to keep it alive.
I gaze at the monster and shiver at the sight of a massive root that had ripped through the cheeks and is secreting nutrients directly to the stomach.
I can't exactly bla them for what they are doing. I an, they are trapped in a dungeon and cannot get out. Gotta survive sohow.
As I get closer, I begin to notice enchants carved into the roots- actually, they are carved into every piece of wood, including the tree. My senses tell that a vast amount of mana is being transmitted through the trees and into the sky. The mana is pushing against the fog, keeping it back and creating what I can only believe to be a safe haven. Most of the monsters would probably avoid this place instinctually due to a lack of fog.
Volpe stops and waves inside the tree.
The elder will want to speak with you. Please go in alone Patriarch. I will wait until you are done.
I lift an eyebrow at her words but choose to follow her direction.
After all, I'm sure whatever is waiting for inside can probably kill just as easily as anything outside.
I step inside and all sound instantly disappears.
Fuck my expectations.
