"You disgusting pig!" A green-eyed, redheaded woman shouted as she threw a young man with blonde hair through a doorway, crashing into a nearby wall, covering his exposed manhood.
"B-but.." He stammered, interrupted as she approached, stepping on his head and pushing it against the cold stone ground.
"Silence, you pervert!" She screamed, glaring down at him with fire in her eyes.
"Serenity, what are you yelling about now?" A blonde woman with blue eyes appeared around the corner, her face becoming flush as she quickly turned around, noticing the indecency.
"This worm exposed himself to me, Cami!" The redhead answered, pressing her heel into the young man's head, causing him to scream in pain.
"N-no!!" He shouted, blood trickling down his forehead, "That's not true!!"
"I came to collect him, per Ichiko's instructions, and he was being indecent!" Serenity spat, her robes flowing as her magical powers flared out as she thought back.
Samael glanced up in fear before noticing he could see up her skirt, noticing her pink floral panties, causing a nosebleed and an uncontrollable rush of energy to his waist.
Noticing his hands squirming, Serenity's eyes widened in shock, screaming as she kicked him in the head, sending the young man flying down the hallway, crashing into another wall.
"See!" She shouted, her face crimson as she pointed at him; Cami approached her. Her thick plate armor clinked with each step.
Samael scrambled to his feet, pulling his pants up and covering himself, "She barged into my bedroom without notice! I had retired for the night!"
"Pervert!!" Serenity shouted at him again, Cami placing her hand on her friend's shoulder.
"Samael, you know that ever since the appearance of the dungeons, there is no such thing as 'retiring for the night.' Our duties require constant vigilance." The blonde explained.
"I-I-" Sam stuttered, at a loss for words.
"Ichiko will determine your punishment." Cami replied, shaking her head, her ocean eyes piercing his soul as Serenity's emerald eyes shot daggers through his body.
The young man nodded as he stood up, hanging his head in embarrassment as he followed the two women through the castle to the throne room where a shrine maiden with a massive katana hanging from her waist stood.
"About time! What took so long?" Ichiko asked, her black hair pulled back into a small ponytail, placing her hands on her waist.
"There... were complications..." Cami answered, turning to look at the ashamed young man.
"What kind of complications..?" She asked, furrowing her brow as her gaze shifted from the women to the young man.
"I've been sexually assaulted!!" Serenity shouted, turning around and pointing at Samael.
"What?!?" Ichiko exclaimed, stepping forward as her pitch-black eyes burned with rage, gripping the hilt of her uchigatana.
"N-No!!!" Sam shouted, his eyes widening in horror and throwing his palms up, rapidly waving them before him, "That's not true!!"
Ichiko moved so fast that she left an afterimage in her place, rapidly reappearing in front of Samael with her katana pressing against his neck, causing him to yelp and stumble backward, falling down.
"I-I-I swear!!" He yelled, "I was in my bedroom alone, and she barged in while I was... I was..."
"You were what!!?" The samurai shouted, her face unable to contain the anger boiling inside her.
Cami, unable to deal with the situation any longer, placed her hand on Ichiko's shoulder, her face completely red, "He was indecent."
"Y-you m-mean..?" She asked, her face becoming as red as the other two women as she turned to Cami, who closed her eyes and nodded.
"You should castrate him!!" Serenity yelled, pointing at Samael again.
"N-No!!" Sam yelled, grabbing himself and shaking his head, "I'm sorry!!"
"You will be!!" The redhead yelled back.
"Silence!!" Ichiko yelled, her gaze fixating on Samael's bright blue eyes, "Explain yourself!"
"I was lonely! I thought everyone had gone to sleep for the night and didn't expect someone to barge into my bedroom!" He plead, scrambling forward onto his knees and prostrating himself before the three women.
"Like I said!!" Serenity interjected, "We should just remove it and get rid of those pointless senses! It's not like anyone would dare procreate with a worm like him!"
"Nooo!! I swear, I'm sorry!!" Samael continued to plead, "I promise!! It will never happen again!"
"Tch!" Ichiko clicked her tongue, turning around as she sheathed her weapon.
"He has been an extremely valuable porter..." Cami spoke softly in his defense.
"Pssh!" Serenity scoffed, "They're a dime a dozen!"
Ichiko sighed, closed her eyes as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, shaking her head, "Serenity... that's enough... we have bigger problems to deal with right now."
"That's right!" Cami exclaimed, "A portal opened up in Dusktown, we dispatched the First Army to deal with the monsters who appeared from the portal, but we need to get in there as soon as possible and close it."
"Fine..." Serenity huffed, crossing her arms across her chest before she turned around and sneered at the young man.
"Samael..." Ichiko commanded, "Quickly gather the supplies and meet us in the courtyard."
"Y-Yes ma'am!!" Sam exclaimed, prostrating repeatedly as he retreated, constantly thanking her before quickly disappearing, leaving the three women in the throne room as they stared out of the nearby window.
"You're not really gonna let him off that easy... Are you?" Serenity asked, turning to Ichiko.
"Of course not!" She huffed, "Tonight is his last mission with the Black Ash Federation."
All three women burst out in laughter as they walked out of the throne room and entered the courtyard. After a brief moment, Samael came running up with a humongous backpack strapped to him.
The four started their journey through Dusktown toward their destination, the spiraling purple portal outside the city limits.
Thirty years ago, Earth was a futuristic paradise until the emergence of the portals that suddenly appeared all across the planet. Monsters and beasts thought to only exist in fairy tales began to pour out, leaving death and destruction in their wake.
Nearly every major city was destroyed in an instant before the military could mobilize. At first, they could push back the weak trash monsters, but stronger and more fantastical beasts appeared as they failed to close the portals.
Unable to contend against the stronger monsters, the military was quickly defeated. Suddenly, people started exhibiting powers and abilities only thought of in movies and video games.
With the emergence of these new powers, the beasts were once again pushed back, and these heroes entered the portals, clearing through the hordes of monsters and closing them, ending their threat once and for all...
Or so they thought until the portals returned to their original positions, along with the monsters contained within.
The super-powered humans started calling themselves Hunters, whose occupation was to enter the portals, called dungeons, and created guilds to control the areas around the dungeons.
In response to the growing number of guilds and the numerous clashes between them for power over the dungeons, some Hunters banded together and created the Hunter's Association to classify the dungeons and hunters.
Ranging from Rank F as the weakest, deemed barely stronger than an average human, to Rank SSS as the strongest, controlling powers that rivaled a God.
Unfortunately for Samael, when his powers awakened, he was classified as a Rank F, with an ability deemed nearly useless...
