Here's a list of things I didn't want to happen today:
1. Step in a web that fuses to my clothes and pulses with magic.
2. Get yanked twenty feet into the air like a flailing anime character.
3. Be trapped in a writhing cocoon that somehow knows I'm horny.
And yet...
Here I was.
Thirty Minutes Earlier – Inside the Nest
The inside of the spider dungeon wasn't just gross — it was alive.
The walls were made of vibrating silk. The floor stuck to your boots. The air smelled like something between sweet perfume and rotting fruit.
Everything pulsed. Everything twitched.
"I've changed my mind," I whispered. "I want to go home."
Raven whispered back, "You don't have a home."
"Then I want to start over as a baker."
Ahead, Iris was crouched low, her daggers dripping with purple poison.
"Careful. The webs are enchanted," she said, slicing through a thread. "React to touch. Especially wet touch."
I blinked. "What does that even—"
The thread hissed. Glowed. Then re-grew itself.
"Yep," Iris grinned. "Definitely enchanted."
[Warning – Sensory Webs Detected]
Status: Reactive Trap Zone
Effect: Triggers binding when target's arousal, body heat, or pulse exceeds baseline threshold.
"Wait wait wait," I said, skimming the pop-up. "Are you telling me these webs activate if you get horny?!"
Mei chuckled. "Guess you're screwed."
"I mean, eventually, maybe—"
"Focus," Raven snapped. "No jokes. We're in deep now."
That's what she said.
Fifteen Minutes In – The Trap
We moved through the nest slow, careful, tight formation. Lira cast a soft radiant glow from her palm — enough to light the area but not trigger any reactions.
Then it happened.
One misstep.
I was in the rear, trying very hard not to think about the way Iris's cloak fluttered when she crouched, or how Raven's hips moved when she walked like she owned the ground.
Then something twitched underfoot.
[Trap Triggered – Resonance Snare]
Target: Hiro
Analyzing arousal signature…
[Overload Detected]
Activating Bind Sequence…
"What?! No—WAIT—"
The ground vanished under me. Threads shot out like tentacles. I was yanked straight into the air, flipping like a ragdoll, and slammed against a sticky silk wall.
Not hard enough to hurt.
But strong enough to hold.
Tightly.
Every limb.
Even my mouth.
[Status: Bound – Sensory Sync Engaged]
Trap Type: Orgasmic Feedback Loop
Escape Condition: Partner Resonance Required (Minimum Emotional/Intimacy Link 30%)
My body jolted.
My crotch throbbed.
The trap was... stimulating me?
"Mmmffghh!!!"
"Oh," Iris said below me, staring up. "That's new."
"Damn," Mei muttered. "They caught the perv."
Lira tilted her head. "The web is tuned to emotional resonance. He can't escape alone."
Raven's eyes darkened.
"How do we get him out?"
Lira looked straight at her. "Someone needs to… match his bond level and create a counter-resonance. Through intimacy."
Iris grinned.
"I volunteer."
Of course she did.
Webbed and Wild
I watched — helplessly — as Iris climbed the wall.
Her cloak fluttered. Her hands glowing faintly with mirror runes.
She crouched near me and grinned.
"Hi, cutie."
"Mmmf!!" (Translation: Don't you dare do anything stupid while everyone's watching!)
She pressed a finger to my lips. "Shhh."
Then?
She kissed me.
Deep. Slow. Her lips warm, her body sliding up mine like a snake with soft curves and a dirty mind.
[Bond Sync: Iris – 38% → 44%]
Mirror Link Engaged – Stimulus Feedback Sync
Trap Resistance: 62%
[Partial Escape Possible – Continue Resonance]
I moaned into her kiss.
She didn't stop.
Her thigh pressed between mine. Her fingers slid under my shirt, tracing my chest. My body burned.
And the web… shivered. Threads peeled back slightly.
"Just a little more," Iris purred.
"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU HAVE SEX IN THIS DUNGEON—" Raven's voice snapped from below.
"Technically it's a class skill!" Iris shouted back. "Totally justified!"
Then, out of nowhere, a gunshot cracked through the web.
Iris dropped like a cat, flipping mid-air and landing with a hiss.
I gasped. Free.
Raven stood below, gun smoking.
"I said that's enough," she growled.
[Trap – Deactivated]
Raven's skill "Precision Anchor Shot" hit the resonance node.
Everyone stared.
Even Iris.
I slowly slid down the wall, legs wobbling, blood rushing everywhere.
Raven holstered her gun.
Then marched up.
Grabbed me by the collar.
And kissed me.
Hard.
Deep.
Furious.
[Bond Update – Raven: 42% → 52%]
Passive Unlocked: "Gunslinger's Vow" – +5% damage vs enemies threatening bonded partners
Emotional Burst Trait: Jealousy Spike
Libido: MAXED
Cooldown: None (God help you)
She pulled back, breathing hard.
"I don't care how your class works," she hissed. "Next time you let someone else touch you like that... I shoot you instead of the web."
"Noted," I gasped.
Iris clapped. "Hot. Violent. Sexy."
"Shut up," Raven snapped.
"You're blushing," Iris whispered.
"So are you."
"I always am."
Camp Moment – Aftermath
We escaped the first layer of the dungeon with a new key, a glowing silk orb (loot drop), and a hell of a lot of unresolved tension.
We camped just inside a hollow tree, warded by Lira's glyphs.
Everyone was quiet.
Until Iris flopped beside me and whispered:
"You know, that trap wanted you to get off."
"Yeah."
"You almost did."
"Y-Yeah."
"…Next time, let me finish it. For real."
I choked on air.
Across the camp, Raven glared.
And Lira — smiling softly in the dark — whispered a prayer under her breath.
But I saw her eyes glow.
And I swore she winked at me.
[Harem Master Perk Activated – Intimacy Pressure Build-Up]
Prediction: Next scene unavoidable
Choose wisely.
I lay back.
Cover over my face.
And whispered into the night:
"I'm going to die in this world.
And I'm going to die happy."
