[Inside Azaroth's Gangnam Villa]
The room was clean and smelled very nice.
The curtains were slightly open, allowing the sunlight to enter the room and the air conditioner was at perfect number, giving the room a very cozy vibe.
There was a big bed in the middle of the room with two drawers attached to the sides.
A beautiful woman was sleeping on the bed with a blissful expression. Her eyebrows slightly twitched as she shifted in the bed.
"Ugh... why is my body hurting..?"
Yoo Soohyun awoke with a groan, sunlight piercing her aching head.
"Whose room is this..? Ah! "As fuzzy memories returned, her eyes flew open in horror- she was in Azaroth's bed!
Flashes of suddenly kissing him in the restaurant then coming to his villa late last night, requesting him to take the pain away....
T-then, giving her virginity to him and moaning like a crazy s..slut under him... and then passing out...
'W..What have I done!?'
How unladylike she must have seemed!
"Ugh... my chest, hands, and that region is sore..." She remembered Azaroth's face when he had lifted her blindfold.
The taste of his lips, the sweat on his chiseled body, and the look in his eyes. And how she was chanting his name again and again as she squirted all over the bed.
"I can't believe what I di— Uww~ it hurts." She smiled a little but her lips twitched with a painful throb.
Speaking of which, she looked around herself in confusion.
She and her surroundings were fully clean.
She was wearing a new set of comfy clothes, her body was fully cleaned and her hair was shining.
'Did... did he...' She touched her hair and it was so clean and smooth. She, as a rich lady, had used a lot of expensive shampoo and conditioner, but this... this was not a result someone could get from those luxury brands.
*Knock-knock!*
She heard someone knocking on the door, "C-Come in." She said.
The door opened. A maid entered with tea on a tray.
"Hello, Miss Yoo. I'm Eun Su, Master Azaroth's maid." The maid bowed a little.
"Would you like some tea, Miss Yoo? I've prepared 'Da Hong Pao' for you" The maid asked with a smile.
SooHyun was surprised, it was her favorite tea. But she usually used it for a celebratory occasion.
Da Hong Pao – $1.2 Million Per Kilogram.
Da Hong Pao, the legendary Big Red Robe, is steeped in history and rarity. Priced at an astonishing $1.2 million per kilogram or $2,400 per cup, this tea is a symbol of opulence and tradition.
"Oh! thank you," Soohyun said, taking the cup.
SooHyun looked at the maid and thought that, maybe she was the one who cleaned her body and changed her into new clothes.
As the maid curtsied to leave, SooHyun stopped her to confirm her suspicions,
"Wait!" she called, face reddening. "Did you...clean me last night?"
The maid shook her head. "I'm afraid not. I'm entering this room for the first time today and no other maid has even seen the interior of this room, miss. I don't know what you are talking about."
'T... that... that means.. he really was the one who.. did all this...?'
Smoke seemed to rise from Soohyun's head in mortification.
She hid behind her teacup, recalling blurred memories of her last night.
"W-Where is Azaroth?"
"The master had urgent business and departed. But he asked I ensure you're comfortable in his absence." She said, "After that, he'll go to the Hunters Guild as he had a raid scheduled with the members of Team B."
Hearing to the maid, SooHyun sighed in relief.
She was glad Azaroth was not here. She doesn't know how to face him right now.

[Inside the Hunters Guild]
Choi Jong was sitting at his desk looking at the exploits reports of the previous day's dungeon raid.
He is very happy.
He was the leader of the first squad but since he is usually busy with his Guild Master work. Hunter Cha Hae-in mostly led the first squad.
The S-rank hunters were rare and most of them had their own guild. He had thought to make Son Kihoon- a promising A-Rank hunter affiliated with the Hunters Guild- the leader of the second squad.
(Son Kihoon image)
But now, things were different.
An A-rank hunter can be indeed very powerful but in front of an S-rank..?
Insignificant.
And now, he has an S-rank... plus he is a family member, meaning he can be trusted more.
Long story short, he has given Azaroth a mission to lead the 2nd squad.
*knock-knock*
"Guild Master, may I enter." A knock came with a familiar female voice.
Choi Jong pushed his glasses and the excited expression on his face suddenly changed into a gentle one.
"Please Come in," He said in a charming tone.
"Yes!" Choi Jong-in's secretary entered his office with urgency in her expression.
" Master Choi, the 2nd squad is ready to depart for the A-rank dungeon in an hour, " she reported.
However, she continued with visible concern, "Sir Azaroth has not been reachable by phone since this morning. Repeated calls go unanswered."
"Hmm.." Choi Jong hummed with understanding.
"Sir, Should I ask Miss Cha to lead the squad, or should we—" She was saying something but was cut off by Choi's words.
"Haha, no need to contact Hunter Cha, she had just completed a dungeon raid yesterday." He said nonchalantly then smiled.
"As for Azaroth, he is a busy man, after all, haha, I'm sure he will come in time," He said with a reassuring tone, easing the tension of his secretary.
"Ok, Master Choi. Then I'll be going" The secretary bowed.
Choi Jong-in nodded his dismissal, but worry lingered in his mind.
He thought that Azaroth was excited about this raid... Now his phone is not reachable?
"*sigh* Maybe did a lot of parties last night and is now sleeping."

[Inside the D-rank Dungeon]
Mr. Song and Lee Joohee were slowly and cautiously exploring their tunnel with full alertness.
A sudden, agonized scream pierced the air.
"Ah! Mr. Song. What's going on" Lee Joohee said as she looked at the walls with a fearful expression.
"I think we should hurry and check it out," Mr. Song said.
The scream came from afar, so they were not able to recognize the voice.
Soon they exited the left tunnel and looked at the other two tunnels.
When JooHee was about to say something, they heard another scream.
Lee Joohee was startled, blood running cold.
Mr. Song grimaced. "That voice belongs to Mr. Sok! Let's go in their direction, let's Hurry!"
"Mr. Kim and Mr. Sok were together! Did they find the boss!?"
She struggled to keep pace as Mr. Song broke into a sprint, she clenched her staff with white knuckles.
She heard another scream and fear crawled up her spine - what threat could overpower Mr. Sok and Mr. Kim inside this Goblin dungeon?
When she thought about something abnormal happening inside this D-rank dungeon, she remembered that statue again!
'Haa!'
Her eyes widened as she saw a shining dagger inches away from her eye.
To be continued....

Author Note:
How was the chapter?
Although short, I think it was good, 1st SooHyun's embarrassment, then Hunters Guild's trouble, and then back to Joohee.
I think the next chap will be a banger!

Author: Where should he go after this world?
Don't worry, he will be able to come back anytime and will be with his girls plus he will go after the Solo Leveling arc ends.
Now, I was thinking DxD.... But I'm also thinking of Jujutsu Kaisen...
I don't know much about DxD, I tried watching the anime... but... *sigh* Too much dumbness and pervertedness. I mean I like a pervert MC but only those who don't just say those stuff out in front of the public.... not to mention the dumbness of female leads... I don't think I can write psychological stuff in that world.
Well, we have got plenty of time, we can also go to TENSURA. (reincarnated as a slime)
I'm forgetting one more anime I had watched till the end and is OP. I'll try to remember.
♦♦♦♦
In the narrow dungeon tunnel, fear and urgency gripped Lee Joohee as she and Mr. Song raced towards the source of the anguished screams.
The memories of the double dungeon flashed through her mind, and the shadows around her seemed to deepen with every step.
As they neared the end of the middle tunnel, her thoughts turned to the ominous statue from that fateful day.
The dread it instilled in her made her heart race faster than her footsteps.
The statue's malevolence lingered in her memories, casting a long and foreboding shadow over her fearful face.
Suddenly, amid the panic and the echoes of distant cries, a glint caught her eye.
A split second before impact, her vision focused on a shining dagger mere inches from her face.
Time seemed to slow as fear constricted her chest.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still as Joohee's life flashed before her eyes.
"Appa! I also wanna help!"
"No Joohee, your dad is cleaning the rooftop, you come help Mom clean the dishes ok?"
"Boo! I wanna help Appa!"
She saw herself as a young girl, always eager to help her parents.
After some months,
"Mom! Dad! What is happening? Are you back!?"
"Hey! There is a kid inside the closet!"
She remembered about the day she was hiding inside the closet when the soldiers rescued her and remembered about her parents who tragically perished during the first dungeon gate break.
After some more time...
After growing 18 and finally coming out of the government adoption center.
The pain of their loss shaped her early years, forcing her to take on part-time jobs just to make ends meet. But then, everything changed when she awakened as a hunter.
Excitement and pride swelled within her as she discovered she had a healing talent and ranked as a B hunter.
The Knights guild took notice of her healer class and eagerly recruited her into their 3rd squad. After all, she was a B-rank healer - a valuable asset for any raid.
But soon enough, the thrill of dungeon raids wore off as each expedition brought back haunting memories.
Monster wolves lurking in the shadows triggered a chilling deja vu of the day her parents met their tragic end. And with every step, the weight of that traumatic memory weighed heavier on Joohee's shoulders.
As she continued to face formidable monsters and witness the bloodshed within dungeons, her anxiety only intensified. And in the midst of a Knights guild raid, surrounded by howls and the stench of blood, Joohee made the difficult decision to leave the guild behind.
With no affiliation to any guild, Joohee found solace in exploring lower-rank gates alongside other independent hunters.
"Oh! Good work today, miss Joohee!"
"You too Mr. Song! "
In E and D-rank dungeons, she could finally escape the relentless encounters and find peace amidst the chaos of her past.
Well, until that double dungeon incident.....
Suddenly, a calm, confident voice cut through her panic.
"Going for an instant kill on a beautiful lady, not very manly of you," it said in a charming yet righteous tone.
Snapping out of her daze, Joohee glanced over to see the dagger caught effortlessly between two fingers by a man she didn't recognize. He was tall with styled red hair, dressed in a stylish black jacket.
In a swift motion, the stranger punched her assailant hard in the gut with his free hand. The would-be killer flew backwards with a grunt, the dagger falling away.
Turning to Joohee with a kind smile, the man asked, "Are you alright, miss?" Her racing heart calmed under his gaze, filled with care and strength.
Though questions swirled, one thought rose above the rest - this mysterious newcomer had saved her life.
Mr. Song had raced ahead, focused on reaching their allies. But an ominous feeling had made him glance back.
Too late, he saw a flash of metal and a dark silowet fly past - aimed directly at Joohee.
Horror gripped him as time slowed.
But then a stranger intervened, disarming the assailant with speed and skill that defied belief.
Mr. Song skidded to a halt, watching in shock and awe. The would-be killer - The B-rank Supervisor from the Hunter Association - writhed at the end of the tunnel-
That B-rank Association member, the one who should have been with the prisoners... was clenching his stomach with coughing blood.
Why was he trying to attack JooHee..?
Azaroth calmly stepped forward, holding out his hand. Dark veins crept along his skin as a golden orb ignited above his palm, illuminating his face.
The assassin's eyes widened in shock and horror. "It can't be..." he muttered in disbelief.
Azaroth's composure and power were unmistakable
Azaroth smiled knowingly. "From the look on your face, I think you recognize me. But just in case, shall I remind you of my name?"
The veins receded as the orb floated above them, casting Azaroth's noble features in a warm glow.
(A/N: Nano tech bitch! LoL)
Trembling, the assassin stammered, "W-Why is the new S-Rank hunter.. he.. here...you shouldn't be here!"
Mr. Song and Lee Joohee gasped.
Lee Joohee looked at his face.
She has seen him!
T-This was the fabled Azaroth, the youngest ever to reach S-Rank with a record on mana density.
"Oi, that dialogue of yours looked kinda forced." Azaroth started walking towards the assassin, "And as for why I'm here..? That's none of your concern."
The assassin's look turned grim as realization struck him. His initial plan was to eliminate the healer first, leaving the fire mage defenseless, and then proceed to take down the fire mage. However, the unexpected arrival of Azaroth had completely fucked his plans.
'Haa haa... H-he is a new hunter.. he.. he should not have experience of foul play...'
In a desperate attempt to escape Azaroth's impending judgment, he grabbed a handful of mud from the tunnel floor and flung it toward Azaroth's eyes, hoping to blind him temporarily and make a quick getaway.
He would have probably blabbered like in the canon about being the stronger or a predator or something, but now he didn't.
It's like you can blabber in front of a fellow civilian who you think is equal to you, but when you face the prime minister or the president of your country..?
Azaroth was like that in front of him, not to mention a B-ranker was less than an ant in front of an S-rank.
At this moment, the assassin's survival instincts were screening to get out of that damn dungeon. He could abandon the association job and the nation and can live however he wanted with killing as many as he wanted in some remote country.
But first, he needed to escape from here.
Seizing the opportunity, the assassin turned to flee, he was no fool, he knew that going head-to-head with an S-rank hunter was a fool's errand.
'Let's see.'
But his attempt to escape was short-lived.
Azaroth's reactions were as swift as they were unpredictable. With a casual wave of his hand, he conjured a transparent shield in the air, like Iron Man in Infinity War, deflecting the mud harmlessly away from his face.
The mud splattered on the tunnel wall, leaving Azaroth untouched.
"What, you trying to mess my hair or something?"
With remarkable speed, he reached out and grabbed the assassin's neck, halting his escape, and then tightened his grip.
"Ack! Heok! C.. Pl.."
The assassin struggled, gasping for air, trapped within Azaroth's supernatural grip. Despite the B-rank assassin's attempts to resist, it became evident that escape was impossible. Azaroth's eyes bore into him, cold and unyielding, as he held the assassin in a vise-like grip.
Now, cornered and desperate, the B-rank assassin pleaded with Azaroth in a panic.
"Heok!... Ack!... P..l..ease...." Looking at the assassin trying to say something. Azaroth loosened his grip.
" Haa.. Huff... P-Please s..stop! Forgive me! I- I'm a B-rank assassin, don't kill me. Haa.. let... let's just kill this C-rank mage and B-rank healer, and I-I can do various dirty works for you... I promise to become your dog," he blurted out in the middle of his pants, his voice trembling with fear.
Azaroth's gaze remained cold and unforgiving as he listened to the assassin's plea.
Then he chuckled, "Pfft.. that's a nice offer"
He showed him a devious grin.
Mr. Song and Lee Joohee's face turned pale.
