We were still lying on the cold floor of the cleared dungeon, sweaty, half-dressed, and very, very satisfied.
Mei was curled on my chest, lazily tracing circles on my abs with her finger.
"I can't believe you pulled off a mid-air Libido Burst," she murmured. "That was… hot."
"I aim to please," I said, running a hand through her messy hair. "Literally."
She giggled, and it made something warm settle in my chest. Not gonna lie, I kind of liked this girl.
[Bond Sync: 20%]
Passive Unlocked: Shared Adrenaline Surge (When one partner is under 30% HP, the other gains +10% AGI and STR for 10 seconds)
Damn. These bond milestones were lowkey cracked.
But then—
[New Item Detected: Core Crystal – F-Rank]
Use now?
Warning: May trigger Class Mutation or Skill Fusion.
I sat up. "Whoa. Something just popped up in my system."
Mei raised an eyebrow. "Let me guess — your other head wants attention again?"
"Funny. No. I mean actual loot. Core Crystal. Says it can trigger class or skill mutations."
Her eyes widened. "Those are rare. You're supposed to only get them from mutated bosses or elite dungeons."
"So what, it's like a power-up?"
"Better. If your class has evolution paths, it might unlock them early. Or it can fuse or mutate skills to make them way more powerful."
"Hot damn." I grinned. "Guess I'm about to get sexier."
[Using Core Crystal...]

Skill Fusion Available:
Eros Domination + Seduction Overdrive →
Dominant Aura (Lv.1)
Passive & Active Hybrid — Your presence becomes naturally arousing. Lower enemies suffer confusion, weakened resistance, and occasional desire-induced paralysis. Allies within range gain +10% combat focus and charm-based skill success. Aura intensity scales with Bond Sync.
"Oh… hell yes."
[Skill Fusion Confirmed. Libido Meter Capacity Increased.]
I felt it the second the fusion finished — like a pulse of electricity dancing across my skin. The air shimmered faintly around me, and Mei's eyes darkened as she looked at me.
"…Whoa," she whispered. "Did your aura just… change?"
I smirked. "You tell me."
She crawled onto my lap again, straddling me. Her breath hitched. "It feels like I'm being pulled into you."
"Well, technically, you're on top of—"
She kissed me hard, cutting me off.
[Bond Sync: 20% → 24%]
[Libido Meter Charging: +10% per minute while bonded]
We made out for a solid five minutes before the dungeon started rumbling.
"Oh come on," I groaned. "Let me finish at least once without interruption."
[Dungeon Collapse Imminent – 3 Minutes to Exit]
Mei stood, pulling on her pants. "That's your cue, loverboy."
We jogged out of the dungeon, still buzzing from the win — and from each other.
Back on the Surface...
The world outside hadn't changed: orange sky, smoke on the horizon, the occasional sound of distant gunfire.
But I had changed.
I felt it in my stride. In the weight of my skills. In the way Mei kept giving me sneaky glances like she wanted to drag me into the next abandoned building and ride me like a stolen bike.
[Universal Skill Fragment Acquired. Use Now?]
"Oh right," I muttered. "Still got this bad boy."
Mei leaned over. "Those things give you a random skill — universal type. Not class-bound. Could be trash, could be epic."
"take the wheel."
[Fragment Used.]
[Analyzing Potential…]
Result: New Skill Acquired — Inventory (Passive)
Description: Grants the user access to a personal spatial storage. Capacity increases with INT.
"Okay, that's… actually not bad."
Mei nodded. "Dude, do you know how annoying it is to carry everything in a backpack while dodging horny mutants and cannibal survivors?"
"…Wait. Did you say horny mutants?"
She shrugged. "It's a whole thing. You'll see."

We made it to the edge of a collapsed highway overpass, where we stopped to catch our breath.
Mei sat down beside me. "Alright. Dungeon's cleared. You've got OP sex magic, a private inventory, and probably the biggest charisma stat in this hemisphere."
"Thanks."
"…Now what?"
I grinned. "Now we head to the next settlement, find a safe zone, maybe pick up some new loot, meet more people…"
"...More girls?"
"Well, I mean—"
She smacked my arm. "You better not forget who opened your dungeon cherry."
"Mei, I could never forget. Your thigh grip was unforgettable."
She blushed and punched me again — but she was smiling.
Then a voice echoed from the ruined buildings nearby.
"Hey! You two—hands up! Who the hell are you?"
We both turned.
And standing there was a girl — tall, tan, leather jacket, one arm cybernetic, the other holding a plasma rifle. She looked tough, mean… and hot as hell.
Her eyes narrowed as she looked at me.
Then the aura hit her.
[Dominant Aura: Minor Effect Applied – Curiosity +5% | Flustered Resistance -10%]
She blinked.
"…Why do I feel weirdly turned on?"
I gave her a smile.
"Hi. I'm Hiro. I do that."
