Chapter 137 New Grimoires and the End of the Line
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Day 49 of the Tester Life. 11:00 AM. 11th Floor Settlement. Sanada Yakumo.
It was our third morning on the 11th floor.
I woke to Sheena’s expert service – a tight cleavage-press combined with a rhythmic, flicking b**job that targeted the sensitive tip. I came quickly, painting her breasts and face in a thick white spray. Sanada Sanae watched the whole display with a look of envious frustration, so I put her to work on the clean-up duty before heading to the bath.
Last night had been a marathon. Unlike back in “My Room,” we didn’t have movies or games to distract us, so we’d resorted to strip poker in the living room. It inevitably devolved into a group session that lasted well into the early hours. After I’d finished inside each of them twice, we were all just sprawling out on the carpet, catching our breath.
That’s when Karen suddenly decided she wanted to see the “Wall-Butt” ¹ in action. Sanae, surprisingly, jumped right on the bandwagon. Apparently, they’d both been dying of curiosity ever since they realized I’d been slipping out of our shared bed to visit the service room for some extra activity with the wall-grafted succubus. Even during our camp-outs, they’d noticed me enjoying her in the living room, and Sayaka’s strict ‘no peeking’ rule had only poured gasoline on their interest.
I tried to shut it down. I mean, what kind of guy wants to put on a show of himself grunting and thrusting into a pair of hips sticking out of a wall? It’s a bit pathetic when you say it out loud.
”Well, if we all put our hands against the wall and take the same position, it won’t be embarrassing, right?” Sheena suggested.
Since we were already mid-5P and everyone was stark naked, Karen and Sanae loved the idea. I looked to Sayaka for backup, but she just gave me a helpless, slightly intrigued smirk. Even she wanted to see what the Wall-Butt lady was all about. Faced with Karen’s sparkling eyes, Sanae’s burning curiosity, and Sheena’s competitive ‘I’m better than a wall’ stare, I folded.
”Fine. Just once,” I muttered, silently praying for Freya as I summoned the Wall-Butt.
My luck was out. It was Lilith. My entire body went limp with exhaustion. Of all the girls, why her?
The girls gasped as they saw the ‘decorations’ scrawled across Lilith’s butt and thighs. On the display, Lilith started with a massive grin, looked shocked to see the audience, and then settled into a look of pure, manic excitement. She probably thought this was some kind of public degradation play. I’ll never understand the inner workings of a hardcore masochist’s mind, but once Lilith shows up, there’s no turning back.
I explained to the bewildered group that this was Lilith – a succubus whose brand of masochism made Sanae look like an amateur. I broke out the toys: clothespins, a pink vibrator, and anal beads. I clamped the pins onto Lilith’s n**ipss first, then lined Sanae up right next to her and gave her the same treatment with some spares. Finally, I put Sheena in the middle, giving her the ‘reins’ – the strings attached to both sets of clothespins.
By this point, Lilith was already leaking a thick trail of nectar, her face on the screen flushed with depraved anticipation. I positioned Sayaka and Karen on either side of me. While trading deep kisses with them, I buried my c**k into Lilith’s p**sy and slid the beads into her rear. I didn’t leave Sanae out, either; I reached over to pump my fingers into her v**ina, which was already slick with my previous rounds of c**m.
The room became a symphony of wet slaps and sharp cries. I’d rhythmically smack Lilith’s ass, and at random intervals, Sheena would yank the strings, snapping the clothespins off their n**ipss. Sanae’s shrill screams filled the room every time, while Lilith just rode the waves of internal climaxes. Sheena was having the time of her life, resetting the pins and pulling them again like she was playing an instrument.
Karen looked a little overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of it, but Sayaka leaned in and whispered into my ear, “If you ever want to play like this… I wouldn’t mind trying, too.”
I knew Sayaka wasn’t a masochist, though. She didn’t mind a little anal play, but I had no desire to actually hurt her like I did with Lilith. Sanae, on the other hand, was the ‘no-pain’ type of M, yet she seemed surprisingly into the clothespins. I found out later she’d actually been introduced to them during her time at the Training Facility. I have no idea why an instructor there would even have those, but I wasn’t going to complain.
Maybe it was the audience, but Lilith was more sensitive than usual. She came three times in rapid succession before I finally let out a heavy load inside her. Then I switched to Sanae, finishing my round while using Lilith’s ass as a drum. Finally, I had all the girls line up against the wall for a ‘taste test’ comparison, emptied whatever was left into Lilith, and called it a night as the timer ran out.
Lilith didn’t pass out like she usually does, but as her image faded, she looked profoundly satisfied. I guess the ‘public’ aspect really did it for her.
* * *
When I finally emerged from the bathroom later that morning, Sayaka had coffee waiting by the fireplace. We had a quiet breakfast, got geared up, and stepped out of the magic tent. Yesterday, we’d found our sixth settlement, a treasure chest, and the third piece of the floor pass. The seventh and eighth settlements had been busts. Today’s goal was settlement number nine.
We spent two hours trekking through the dungeon, clearing out the usual trios of orcs. Finally, we spotted a path branching off the main road. We raided the place, wiped out the orcs and their pack of Green Wolves, and charged into the main shack.
Empty. No treasure.
Karen’s shoulders slumped in unison with mine. We took a quick breather in the ruins of the settlement and headed back to the main path. Karen tried to stay positive, reminding me that with a 50% spawn rate, we were due for a back-to-back streak. We walked for another two hours until the road just… ended.
”Huh? A dead end?” I asked.
”Wait, the road is just gone,” Karen added, sounding confused.
Sure enough, fifty meters ahead, the paved path vanished into a dense, impassable forest. We stopped and looked at each other.
”Did we miss a turn?”
”No, it’s been a straight shot the whole way,” Karen replied.
”Master,” Sheena called out, pointing toward the tree line. “I see a trail through the trees. It looks like another settlement path.”
She was right. We followed the narrow trail and found yet another orc settlement. But this one was different. It had two entrances – one in the front and one at the far back.
”I get it… we clear this place out, and the back exit probably leads to a new road,” I surmised.
”Seems likely. Though, this being the tenth settlement is a bit strange,” Sheena noted.
”The orc count is about the same, and we don’t have enough pass fragments for a Guardian yet. I don’t think it’s a boss room.”
”True…”
”Well, only one way to find out,” I said.
The raid was standard procedure. Twelve orcs, five Green Wolves. No special elites, just the usual fodder.
”Score! A chest!” Karen shouted as we entered the main shack. It was a copper one.
”Yes! My turn to open it!”
”Go for it. You got us that magic staff last time. Let’s see if your luck holds.”
”Ugh, no pressure, Yakumo!” Karen joked.
”I’m kidding. I’ll take a potion or some silver at this point.”
”Hey, I already pulled those once! I’m getting us some real gear this time!”
She puffed out her cheeks, knelt down, and flipped the lid. Inside was a single book and a scrap of paper.
”Yesss! A Grimoire! And a pass fragment! Total win!”
”Nice work, Karen. That’s a huge hit.”
I checked the paper first. It had the character for ‘Word’ (言) on it. That made four pieces. Then I took the brown book from Karen. The cover depicted a flurry of small stones.
”Earth magic, probably. ‘Stone Pebble’ or something?”
”I think that’s the ‘Stone Shot’ ² spell,” Sheena said, leaning in. “It launches a volley of stone shards from the ground at the target’s feet. A human thief hit me with it once; it stings like hell.”
”So, low lethality, but good for staggering?” I asked.
”Exactly. It’s rapid-fire, too. Honestly, it would be perfect for Sanae. She’s still too slow to react when the Green Wolves lunge or when that orc threw his club earlier.”
Sanae winced. She knew Sheena was right. Earlier on the road, an orc she’d shot had managed to hurl a club at her, and she’d just stood there like a deer in headlights. I’d had to blast it out of the air with a Fire Bullet.
”Kukuku, clubs aside, you need a close-quarters deterrent,” I teased.
”Fine, I’ll learn it,” Sanae grumbled. “No more letting wolves get the jump on me.”
”Or clubs,” Sheena added.
”Shut up, you fainting rabbit!”
”I’ve told you, you’re the weird one here, Zombie Woman,” Sheena replied.
”Who are you calling a zombie?!”
”You! Moaning ‘Ah… ah…’ with your eyes rolled back into your head. Total zombie vibes.”
”I – I do NOT do that! Yakumo, tell her she’s lying! Right?!”
I looked away. “Well… your eyes do roll back, Sanae. It’s actually pretty cute.”
The moaning was a little creepy, though.
”Wh-!?” Sanae sputtered, turning bright red. Sheena just cackled.
”Don’t laugh, Sheena! You were drooling the whole time!” Sanae shouted.
”Still better than snot,” Sheena shot back.
”Alright, knock it off,” I interjected. “Sanae, just learn the spell.”
Sanae took the book with a pout and opened it. The Grimoire burst into flames, the knowledge seeping into her mind.
”Okay… I think I see it. It’s like this… and then… Hah!”
**”Stone Shot!”**
She pointed a hand at the shack’s wooden wall. Instantly, a barrage of stones erupted from the floor, shredding the wood – and the structural pillars behind it.
”Move!” I yelled, grabbing Sanae and hauling her back. Sheena scooped up Sayaka and leaped clear just as the entire building groaned and collapsed into a pile of splinters.
”Eeeek! What happened?! Why did the house fall down?!” Karen screamed from outside.
”…Sanae,” I groaned.
”I knew she was a klutz, but this is a new low,” Sheena sighed.
”Sanae, what did I say about checking your surroundings before you act?” Sayaka asked, her voice dangerously calm.
”I… uh… sorry,” Sanae whispered, bowing her head in shame as we all gave her the ‘look.’
* * *
We trekked through the long, forested path behind the ruins. After five minutes, we finally saw the exit. Waiting for us was a Teleportation Array ³ and a massive black gate.
”Wait, did we just loop?” I asked.
”It appears so,” Sheena replied, frowning.
Fifty meters ahead sat the exact same Magic Circle and gate we’d started at.
”No way! We’re back at the beginning?!” Karen cried.
”What gives? Do we have to do the whole thing over?” Sanae asked.
We walked up to the gate. A glowing number was etched into the black stone: **2**.
”A second lap…” I muttered. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
We were being told to spend another three days walking the exact same path. The sheer tedium hit me like a physical weight.
”Ugh, it’s a total grinding game,” Karen complained.
”Is this normal for dungeons, Sayaka? Making you run the same floor twice?” I asked.
”Not usually. Normally, you’re always moving forward.”
”It’s a hassle,” I admitted, “but we got four pieces of the pass in one go. If the settlements reset, we’ll probably get the rest of the fragments before we even finish the second lap. It’s annoying, but it beats wandering into random traps in a labyrinth. If we ran, we could clear it in a day… but that’s a good way to get ambushed.”
Getting pincered by six orcs and a pack of wolves while exhausted was a recipe for disaster. We’d take it slow. Another three days, max, and we’d have the pass to unlock the checkpoint.
”I guess you’re right,” Karen sighed. “But failing a raid and getting no loot is so draining.”
”It’s better than traps, Master,” Sheena added.
”Yeah. But I’m not starting the second lap today. We’re going back, and tomorrow is a mandatory day off.”
The ‘loop’ revelation had drained my mental battery. It was only 1:30 PM, but I was done.
”Yay! Day off! I’m gonna spend all day in the ocean!” Karen cheered.
”I think I’ll get some extra training in,” Sanae said.
”Fufu, I’d be happy to ‘train’ you, Sanae,” Sheena teased.
”Not by you! I’ll ask Rock or Saizou!”
”It’s perfect timing,” Sayaka said, smiling at me. “I need to wash your uniform and sharpen the gear anyway.”
Everyone was in high spirits. I realized I’d been pushing them too hard lately. I’d have to make the next break even sooner – probably right after we clear this floor. As for tomorrow… maybe I’ll have them stay topless all day. Or maybe I’ll hide some vibrators in their panties and keep the remote in my pocket.
I needed to recharge. Dealing with a loop is a mental grind, and I needed my team – and myself – at 100% before we dove back in.

Summary:
After a rowdy morning of experimentation with the ‘Wall-Butt’ and clothespins, the party continues their settlement raids on the 11th floor. They secure a new earth-magic Grimoire but are shocked to discover the floor is a loop. Yakumo decides to take a rest day to manage the group’s mental fatigue.
—
Trivia:
- The Wall-Butt succubus they summoned was Lilith, not the preferred Freya.
- Sanae had already experienced clothespin play at the Training Facility.
- The floor requires multiple fragments (scraps) of a pass to progress.
- The 10th settlement has two entrances, signaling a path change.
- The loop is explicitly marked with a giant number ‘2’ on the gate
—
Character Insight:
Yakumo demonstrates leadership by recognizing that repetitive ‘grinding’ tasks wear down his team’s morale, choosing mental health over efficiency. Sanae shows surprising destructive potential with her new magic, accidentally destroying a building.
—
Behind the Scenes:
The ‘loop’ mechanic reflects classic RPG tropes where floors must be cleared multiple times or require ‘New Game+’ style navigation.
