On top of Greg's desk was a matte black orb that allowed no light to penetrate it. At first glance, the thing looked like a tacky item that Greg had for whatever reason chosen to have on his desk. The fact that it seemed to independently float an inch off the desk was perhaps the only curiosity about it that might justify its presence. This little orb, however, was called the MEMORY SEALING ORB in the Magic shop. While the formation dealt with the chaperones in particular, the Orb was both for his patients and their chaperones. And while the formations were for when they were inside his office, the orb dealt with when they left. Rather than wipe out their memories, this little sinister-looking orb divorced the memory of whatever happened inside the room from any impetus to action. The memories would be like a flower sealed inside a glass case. While it was possible to see the flower, one wouldn't be able to smell its fragrance. In the same way, while the individual would be able to re

Despite already being hard and deep inside her, Greg could feel his cock twitch. And by the way her smile widened, she too had felt it. Greg made it a point to carefully watch the women that he managed to seduce to learn what made them tick. What were their fantasies? What got the fires of their lust raging? What buttons to push to drive them crazy with desire? The Town-head's wife, however, had shown herself to be every bit the careful observer that he was. It hadn't taken all that long to figure out that the idea that he was fucking the Town-head's wife and had even managed to impregnate her drove him crazy with arousal. Far from being bothered by the idea, she was all too happy to use this weakness of his whenever she could to fuel the passion between them. And just like was presently the case, it never failed to make him want to fuck her even more. "If your husband wants to celebrate having my child inside your womb," Greg said placing a hand on her belly, slowly caressing her s

Greg was silent for a while before he let out a sigh and nodded. "I'll think of something, " He said noncommittally. "Now go, before unsavory rumors start to spread and we find ourselves in an even deeper quagmire," He said. Even though she seemed to want to go on discussing, she seemed to understand that Greg was right about staying too long in his office. So, fixing her clothes, she kissed him one last time before making her way out of his office. Despite the situation, Greg couldn't help the slight twitch in his pants at the thought that she was going back to her husband with his cum slowly leaking out of her pussy. He allowed himself a few moments of indulgence before calling in his last patient for the day, the woman that had allowed the Town-head's wife to go before her. In just ten minutes, Greg had helped her with the mild case of pneumonia that had brought her to him. Greg turned a color-coded sign on his door to indicate that he was closed for the day. The reason it was

Death... is not an option... for now," Greg carefully replied, not missing the way the familiar smiled like a Cheshire cat at the last bit. While he could read approval in her eyes, Greg couldn't help but feel like he was a wretch for even leaving the option on the table. But his teacher had warned him when she made him sign the contract between them, just because someone was smiling at you, doesn't mean they can't drive a dagger through your heart. While it would only be a last resort if all else fails, it would still be among the options. "Before we jump to any drastic measures, I think it would be prudent to first understand what kind of danger I'm actually in," Greg stated, turning a curious gaze in Olivia's direction. "How do nymphs capture and enthrall the men that they do? How do they drain them of their power and vitality? Without this information, I don't even know what to look for in guarding myself against the Town-head's wife," he said. "Nymphs don't exactly feed in publ

Greg managed to lean to the side fast enough for the fist that was flying at his face to narrowly miss. Despite evading the attack, Greg couldn't help the cold sweat that soaked his back as he felt the sharp wind that brushed against his face as a result of the speed and force behind the punch. Had those knuckles connected, he would have been out cold. Taking a step forward to gather momentum, Greg sent his right hand looping around the outstretched hand in a counter-hook that held nothing back. But, rather than a satisfying crunch of knuckles against flesh, his punch sailed harmlessly through the air as his target danced out of his reach with annoying ease. Greg, however, only let himself feel the disappointment for a split second before focusing on the fight once more. He had overextended himself a bit with his attack but not by too much. His opponent was the kind to mercilessly punish even such small mistakes, so he needed to correct his stance before... It took every ounce of wil

After feeling a sharp pain in the back of his head, Greg found himself on the clouds above Torrin. Greg could feel a molten fury bubbling up within him at the dirty cheating by the spider gang. But with only clouds around him, his rage, bloodlust, and desire for rampage were largely impotent. It took a long while for him to calm down but eventually, he did, and a sigh left him. "Guess I should have seen that coming," He muttered to himself when the rage was no longer clouding his judgment. The dancer was one of the gang's best fighters and top earners in the fighting ring. They were never going to so easily let Greg kill the man even though they would never have intervened if the shoe was on the other foot. A short while later, Greg opened his eyes back inside his bedroom. For a second, he didn't move, paying attention to his body and how he felt. It was almost surreal to realize that, other than some mild discomfort, Greg felt perfectly okay. After assimilating seven beast-cores, t

After three days of thinking, three days in which he didn't delve into the dungeons, he concluded that it all came down to information. First was information about the target area. In this first dungeon, it was the city of Torrin. In other dungeons, the area of interest would be different. Greg had thus spent a whole two weeks just walking around the different districts, familiarizing himself with the various roads, pathways, and alleys. Where the significant landmarks and buildings were. What roads the city guard patrolled and so on. Once he had the lay of the land and could move about without losing his way regardless of which part of the city he was in, Greg moved on to the second step, which was gathering information about his targets. Their, schedules, their mannerisms, their allies, their foes, and so on. Depending on who his target was, this step could either be easy or incredibly hard. For example, getting information about the potion-maker, Lady Andreya, wasn't that hard. S

The city of Torrin and the people in it were one instance of the dungeon but not the actual dungeon itself. He'd need to somehow pierce the veil of each dungeon instance to figure out the secrets that cut across every dungeon. So far, apart from the dynamic areas, Greg had discovered that so long as he didn't directly pick a path to try and achieve the main objective of the dungeon, the run didn't get any harder. In other words, so long as he was in information-collecting mode and not actually pursuing any path, then he didn't have to worry about the dungeon getting harder. But other than these two relatively small discoveries, he'd thus far been unable to pry any other truths from the dungeons. Greg suspected that he'd have to attempt other dungeon instances aside from the Mayor's dinner party before he discovered more. 'You did well by pushing through the pain, and you even managed to avoid the temptation to go for your opponent's head despite him so obviously baiting you,' Olivia

The first lesson was that efficiency was the backbone of combat. In her words, it was a cardinal sin to do in two moves what you could do in one. In essence, whoever needed the least number of moves to win a fight had a deadly advantage over whoever their opponent was. To this end, Greg had been given an in-depth analysis of all the weak points in the human body and how best to aim for them. Much like demolishing a building, if you used enough strength and force, you could bring it down. Anyone who knew anything about demolition, however, knew that this was an unnecessary waste of energy. So long as you hit a few critical points, you could easily bring a massive building down. The same was true of the body. With enough power behind the blow, any part of the body could be turned into a weak point. For a fraction of that power, however, you could cause the same amount of damage if you hit the right spot. Efficiency, that was the name of the game as far as his familiar was concerned. T

His familiar just smiled at him before glancing at the bracelet on his wrist. 'There is a reason why blacksmiths first let's metal turn red in the furnace before they start hammering. Otherwise, they'll just be destroying the metal. We can start sparring at any time, but until your body is fast and strong enough to keep up, I'll just be hurting you. And not just because you'll be too slow and weak to respond to my attacks. The fighting style I plan to teach you will place certain requirements on your body, for speed in terms of both attack speed and defensive reaction time. Not to mention that you'll have to put a certain amount of strength into your attacks if you hope to have them do maximum damage. Strength that you don't currently possess. Rushing to spar with me will not make you a strong fighter sooner. While we are working to ensure that you are first ready, let's first ensure that you have a strong understanding of combat and its principles," Olivia laid out. Unable to argue a
