Chapter 1
It was a precious weekend, and everyone else was out having fun with friends or girlfriends.
I was alone in my room, sitting in front of my computer and enjoying a game.
"A new mod was added this time?"
'Dungeon Conquest' was a hit title that had racked up 30 million downloads worldwide since its release five years ago. It was a game where you did more than simply conquer dungeons—you could become a dungeon's master, manage monsters, set traps, and decorate your own unique dungeon.
The game's greatest appeal was its overwhelming freedom. In Adventurer Mode, you could freely combine twelve advancement trees, including warrior, mage, and rogue, while in Dungeon Lord Mode, you could use more than 500 types of monsters and traps to design a one-of-a-kind dungeon.
I had logged more than 5,000 hours since the day it was released. In Adventurer Mode, I had leveled every class to the maximum.
It was a highly flexible game, allowing me to enjoy a variety of classes with whatever advancement trees I wanted. But since the game had been out for so long, I had exhausted all its content and replayed it all. Still, the news that a new mode had been released made my heart race.
While rummaging through the game's official forum, I found a new announcement.
"Huh? It's an adult mode?"
Surprisingly, this adult mode was paid content officially released by the company. It wasn't some shoddy fan-made mod that people usually associated with adult modes, but a polished expansion pack.
"This is kind of interesting…."
19,900 won. I paid without hesitation. While the download was in progress, I read the patch notes.
[Adult Mode Patch Notes v1.0]
- Added a new class, 'Demon Lord'
- Added 30 adult-only traits and skills
- Added a new NPC interaction system
- Introduced a racial diversity system
- Replaced the graphic assets with ones appropriate for an adult rating
After installing the mod and launching the game, an intro with a different atmosphere began to play. Instead of the bright and majestic BGM from before, dark and sensual music echoed in my ears.
When I logged in, a message appeared saying that none of my existing characters were available. The adult mode required me to start with an entirely new character.
On the character creation screen, the newly added Demon Lord class caught my eye. The Demon Lord's appearance, complete with black wings and horns, was on an entirely different level of quality from the original game's graphics.
After finishing character customization, I moved on to the trait selection screen. Among the dozens of traits, the ones that caught my eye were the adult-oriented traits.

"This seems like a pretty decent combination, huh? Huh? Wait a second…."
I noticed the small text at the bottom of the trait selection window.
[The traits you select can be acquired through random draws.]
"Fuck, I can only get traits through draws?"
Having to use gacha in a paid game was ridiculous and infuriating. I found myself thinking, That's just how Korean games are. I had already spent nearly 20,000 won on the game, and now I had to pay even more.
"Ah…. Are you serious?"
Even while sighing, I ended up opening my wallet. About 30,000 won for ten pulls….

"Ha…."
A sigh escaped me. One SS-rank and one S-rank…. It wasn't bad, but none of the traits I wanted had shown up.
And I kept spending. I had already spent over 300,000 won. Still, they didn't appear.
"Come on, show up already…."
I spent another 30,000 won.

My joy was short-lived; Bloodline Awakening still hadn't appeared. I had already spent 330,000 won, but I couldn't stop now.
"This is the last one. Truly the last…."
With trembling hands, I pressed the payment button.

For a moment, my mind went blank. I stared intently at the screen.

The elation I had felt just moments ago instantly turned into despair. I had drawn dozens of traits, yet I could only use five of them.
"Ha…. No wonder I was so lucky."

The moment I clicked the [Yes] button with trembling hands, a strange light burst from the monitor.

"What… what is it?"
The blue light grew increasingly intense and began filling the entire room. I instinctively closed my eyes, but my consciousness was already fading.
'Fuck… I still need to buy the additional slots…'
That was my final thought in this world.
In an instant, everything went dark….

[Target World: Dungeon Conquest - Age of the War of the Gods]......
***
It had been a week since I entered this damn Dungeon Conquest.
I had been struggling desperately to survive.
I was a Lesser Demon Lord, and this was an entirely different era from the game story I knew.
The sky split apart. The magical cannon fired from the enormous hand of the Demon God in the distance distorted reality. The blue sky turned into a black abyss, the earth crumbled, and an entire mountain evaporated. I had never actually seen a nuclear explosion, but I wondered if this sight might be something like one.
"All demonfolk to the front lines! Now!"
The roar of a Greater Demon Lord rang in my ears. His voice was imbued with magic, making it an irresistible command. But this was absurd. How was I supposed to fight on a battlefield like this when I had invested all my traits into sex and reproduction?
[System Notification]
Class: Lesser Demon Lord
Level: 1
Traits: 5
Health: 100%

※Warning: Immediate evacuation required
※Survival Rate: Below 1%
'I know, you damn system bastard.'
The shockwave from the Demon God's magical cannon reached where I stood. A blast of hot air tore across my entire body.
"Fuuuuuck…!"
A curse burst from my mouth. This wasn't the game I knew. It wasn't a fantasy world decked out in dazzling graphics, but a living hell where gods slaughtered one another.
Before I had time to take in the situation, the battlefield surged toward me. Beneath the burning sky, the armies of gods and the Demon God collided. In their midst, low-ranking beings like me were nothing more than meat shields.
