Regardless of how each dive went, however, Greg would be completely out of it afterward. The toll that each dungeon run would take on him would leave him feeling like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the back of his head. A nasty headache, nausea, lightheadedness, deep fatigue, and so on. These were symptoms that Greg had grown used to experiencing over the past month. Greg had taken to diving into the dungeons only after he was on his bed. That way, when he came out, he would just allow himself to drift off to sleep. "Extend my sincerest apologies to your father," Greg calmly spoke after a while of silence. Insufferable as the girl may be, her father was still the Town-head, there was no need to antagonize the man unnecessarily. His family was still part of the town, and Greg didn't wish to complicate their lives by making enemies left, right, and center.

This was followed by a scowl as if Greg had somehow thrown a wrench into some plan he was hatching. The m

There was a bit of silence as Greg digested all the information he'd just received, trying to parse it out and make sense of it all. In the end, a weak smile crossed his lips as he mentally spoke. "So, I'm guessing that it wasn't just the title items to blame for how quickly she was turned on by me," Greg stated in a self-deprecating tone as he remembered his first encounter with the woman. 'I didn't think you'd work it out so quickly,' Olivia replied through their link, sounding amused. 'While the title items you had on helped the process along, the nymph bloodline by nature draws her to the strongest males around her that she can seduce without compromising her safety.
