"So, you're supposed to be the first boss?... You don't look too much stronger than the rest... But you are acting more intelligently... Unfortunately, that won't be enough for me to spare you." His voice was like that of a demon whispering your desires to use you.
Those words they made chills go down my spine and it felt like things could just end without me noticing... I want a peaceful end, so I guess I could just take it, right? That was what a part of me felt, but the more I was exposed to him, the more I wondered if I would be happy serving under such a monstrous yet majestic creature.
"Leah, how much exp can I get if I kill this one?" His voice once again resounded in an alluring manner, despite me understanding that he wanted to kill me for his own nurture, nothing felt unfair, it was scary and exciting at the same time, but nonetheless felt fair for one such as him to use me.
"Hum not too much more, about 250 exp. It's 10x more than the centipedes, who are the strongest mob, so it's pretty decent for a rank I dungeon." A fairy-like red creature with flowery hair appeared and just fly around him as she answered his question.
250 exp... Is that how these beings classify my worth? What does it mean? Is it good or bad? From what she said and the way she said it... I'm still better than my subordinates, but they seem to see me as lacking... Am I not good enough to kill? Is that what's being implied here?! After I had to force myself to accept something I normally would have never been okay with... No, this can't be right... I can't be that worthless... Once again, tears wanted to leave my face, but I held them in, and even if things went off I would not let myself cry, I'd already lost enough, and to be seen crying would just leave me with nothing.
"Not too shabby, but honestly neglectable. For now, you will have better use in serving me, and who knows? You might actually stay alive by the end." He came closer to me and crouched in front of me, before having his head rest on his right hand while looking at me, with a calm and small smile that somehow felt more disturbing than the ones I'd seen from him already.
Even so, my thoughts couldn't help my body calm down as now that he was closer, his scent was so much more powerful than before. I wanted to at least lick him, just a bit, and then I would know if what my body says is true, but I can't. I'm reduced to staying here waiting for his decision while my anus' secretion only got worse the more time I spent around him.
"Just answer me two questions, were you the one making the colored silk?" He asked a single question as he stretched out his hand and grabbed my chin, lifting my head and forcing me to look him directly in the eyes. His scent was stronger than ever as I trembled in an attempt to contain my desires.
Unable to utter a single word cause the moment I did, my control and containment would get lost, bringing death upon myself after I got a chance at survival, so I instead nodded my head, still trembling.
"Good then, can you make clothing for me?" He inquired as I didn't know what to say in response... Not because I couldn't just nod, I could, but was this really what a being this powerful wanted from me? Clothing? Then again, I should just accept that somehow someway, I have value...
The response was once again me nodding.

-5th Floor-
(Náli's Pov)
The 5th floor just like the ones before was a forest, but this one also connected the forest environment with the cave systems, being the largest floor.
Getting there, I had to tread through various enemies, and by the end killed 80 roaches, 300 ants, where 25 of them were flying ants, 50 flies, 600 larvae, and 10 centipedes. Leaving me at level 12.
As I got out of that, the next thing I found was a group of 5 giant centipedes. Two of them went underground and three on the surface came at me. They moved relatively fast, when compared to the other monsters in the dungeon, but were still too slow to do anything against me. I dashed and got ahold of two of them, using them to smash the third one and then doing the same to them. Followed by that, the two last ones emerged from the ground to attack my feet and destroyed my shoes. This led to me using
After that, I continued to move around until I found a house standing at top of a bunch of trees and climbed up and opened the door.
Inside, there was a larvae girl, as her torso or top half was human looking and her bottom half was larvae-like. She had bluish-green skin with her arms being pitch black and human in form, but insectoid in the constitution and her hair was a darker tone than that color with her eyes being purple like one of mine. She had large double G human-like breasts, under her sort of formal upper-body human attire that looked more medieval in style, completed by the fact she did not wear a bra. On the top of her head to medium-sized horn-like things, and her lower half was that of some sort of larvae, as its base had a lighter bluish-green while the back side had the darkest bluish-green on her entire body and she even has multiple black small larvae prolegs.
Overall she seems scared of me, which is expected considering all the damage I caused alone, but I didn't really care if she was scared or not, the most important part was deciding what to do with her, as a more humanoid being, she is most definitely one of the bosses. According to Leah, the system of our existence was formed by a humanoid being, so all being under the Reality Balance System, regardless of their origin will become more humanoid as they evolve to get closer to being like the creator of everything, as that is by all means what perfection should be for all of us. Though being humanoid doesn't by default make you stronger it is regarded as a better and more versatile form, so all beings eventually became humanoids though they do keep a lot if not almost every characteristic of their race, not concerning their general form.
Not minding her too much, I asked two questions while talking to her before approaching her and asking another two. The response I got wasn't too shabby so, I looked at Leah and asked in my mind.
(Does the system have a subordination function?) I questioned.
(Yes! The evil system has one, and she just has to accept you as her master for it to work.) Leah responded.
Happy with the answer, I once again turned to the larvae girl.

Seeing me nod, he then turned his attention to the fairy before turning back to face me with an even more disturbing smile and said to me.
"You are now my second servant or subordinate, whatever you wish to call yourself. Understood?" It wasn't so much a request as it was an order that was relayed as a blessing. He acted like he was bringing me salvation by letting me serve him, and I couldn't refute but not only because I was scared... I couldn't refute it because it was true, that unless he decided to see use in my existence, I would die this instant, and for some reason, nothing has ever made me this excited... To the point that if he wasn't the powerful monster that he is, I would have forced him to mate with me if I had to.
Another time, I was left to nod in response as my image of this monster was slowly diluting into that of a desired but impossible goal. I want him to belong to me, but things have happened the other way around as I am not powerful enough to change this outcome. One day maybe one day I'll be able to... I'll work however hard I have to, in order to accomplish this...
