"Ma-master?"
The dungeon was silent except for the long dripping of blood that was pooling beneath the fallen creature.
Paul was fully accepting his new identity as Hercus.
He was standing over the beast's corpse, thrumming with raw energy.
The Humiliation System had given him power beyond what he could've imagined, but there was more to gain.
He could feel it.
His eyes drifted to Sani, her exposed skin still was shining from their earlier encounter.
She had barely managed to salvage what remained of her dress, and the sight of her flustered, embarrassed expression made a fresh surge of strength rush through his veins.
"Master…?" Sani stammered, clutching the remaining parts of her garment to her chest.
Hercus smirked. "Strip."
Both fairies froze in place.
Eris' purple eyes widened immediately. "M-Master, what did you just say?"
"You heard me." His voice was calm, but so commanding. "Take off your clothes."
Sani instinctively wrapped her arms tighter around herself. "N-No way! I-I've already been humiliated enough—"
"Do it."
The fairies shivered at the steel in his tone.
Sani hesitated, glancing down at the dead monster beneath her.
The thick, dark blood oozed from its wounds, pooling into a shallow crimson lake.
The beast's body still shared warmth, twitching with dying energy.
She gulped. "W-Why…?"
Hercus stepped forward, towering over her small body.
"The system thrives on humiliation. Your shame is my strength. And right now, I need more." His eyes darkened. "You will do as I say, Sani."
The fairy trembled, her wings flinched in anxiety.
Then, with a deep breath, she slowly reached for the thin fabric covering her body.
Her hands were shaking as she untied the knot at her shoulder.
The silk slipped down, inch by inch, exposing her bare skin to the cold dungeon air.
The closer it fell, the harder her heart pounded.
Hercus watched her. satisfied as Sani fully disrobed, her pale body was shining by the dark glow of the dungeon walls.
A system notification flashed before his eyes:
[+700 Evil Points]
[Sani has been humiliated!]
Sani bit her lip, her arms instinctively moved to cover herself. "M-Master… t-this is so embarrassing…"
"Good," Hercus said, smiling. "Now, get on top of the beast."
Sani's breath hitched. "Y-You're serious?!"
"Do it."
Eris felt like she was paralysed, watching in silent as Sani hesitantly stepped onto the creature's body.
The warmth of the monster's flesh sent a strange shiver down her spine.
It was still alive in a way—its body heat mixed with the thick, slick blood pooled around her ankles.
Hercus crossed his arms. "Now, cover yourself with its blood."
Sani gasped. "W-What?! I-I can't—"
"Do it."
Her breath was ragged as she slowly crouched, dipping her trembling fingers into the pool of warm, thick blood.
The sensation was…
With shaky hands, she dragged the blood over her arms, her stomach, and her trembling thicker thighs.
Her body was shining from her own glow, the dark red liquid traced every curve of her exposed self.
A system notification appeared:
[+1,000 Evil Points]
[Sani has experienced extreme humiliation!]
Sani whimpered, her skin tingled from the sticky warmth of the monster's essence. "T-This feels… so wrong…"
Hercus grinned. "Sssh, you're doing it perfectly."
The more she covered herself, the warmer she felt—not just from the blood, but from something else.
Shame?
Humiliation?
A feeling she'd never experienced before.
"I-I hate this…" she whispered.
"Do you?" Hercus mused, stepping closer. "Because it doesn't look like you do."
Sani bit her lip, her whole body was just shaking with shame.
Eris, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. "Master… w-what about me?"
Hercus turned to her, his smirk widened. "You too."
Eris stiffened. "I… I-I…"
But she didn't resist. Not anymore.
With hesitant hands, she began undressing herself, her violet garment slipped from her smooth shoulders.
The moment it hit the ground, she stepped forward, bare and vulnerable.
Her violet eyes darted to Sani, who was standing, trembling on the monster's body.
"I-I… I'll do it…" Eris whispered.
She climbed onto the creature's cooling corpse, her breath shuddered as she dipped her fingers into the thick, dark liquid.
Unlike Sani, she wasted no time.
Gently and slowly she dragged the blood over her soft skin, her hands felt every part of her skin as she traced her stomach, her thighs, her small chest.
The wet warmth seeped into her very being, making her shudder.
[+1,000 Evil Points]
[Eris has experienced extreme humiliation!]
Both fairies now were on top of the beast's dead body, completely covered in its essence, painting themselves in crimson liquid.
Hercus felt unstoppable.
Another surge of power flooded through him.
His muscles bulged, his veins pulses with strength.
The Humiliation System was reaching new heights.
[Hercu's Might: Strength Increased by 150%]
He clenched his fists.
"Perfect," he muttered.
The dungeon's oppressive air suddenly felt lighter.
The fight was over.
His power had reached a new peak. Now, there was no reason to remain here.
Hercus turned to the two trembling fairies. "We're leaving."
Sani, still breathless, looked up. "L-Leaving?"
Eris wiped some of the drying blood from her cheek. "W-Where are we going?"
Hercus grinned. "Home."
Without another word, he led them toward the dungeon's exit.
The deeper, darker chambers faded behind them as they climbed the winding stone staircase.
Step by step, they ascended toward the outside world, leaving the blood-soaked battlefield behind.
The moment they came out, the cold night air hit them like a slap.
The sky above was dark, the stars looked like a black void.
Hercus took a deep breath.
This world… his world… was now within his grasp.
But just as he was about to take his next step forward—
A voice.
"You certainly took your time."
Hercus stopped moving.
Standing before him, beneath the silver glow of the moon, was a woman.
She was tall, with long, wavy red hair that fell over her shoulders like molten fire.
Her piercing golden eyes smirked more than her full lips.
Her black-and-gold robes hugged her curvaceous figure, the fabric looked full of demonic runes that pulsed with a dark glow.
Sani and Eris gasped behind him.
"M-Master… who is that?"
Hercus narrowed his eyes.
This woman… he knew her.
Or rather, the memories of his past self did.
And she was the last person he expected to see waiting for him.
"Lola."
