Behind her, following close, were creatures. Monsters, to be more precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark felt his eyes widen as he watched them enter one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait... that’s it? Only three?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ely had only brought three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one he noticed was... what appeared to be a cockroach man. It was humanoid, but its body was covered by a dark brown exoskeleton. Its build was lean, almost skeletal, with long segmented limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its head was distinctly insectoid — compound eyes that gleamed, and mandibles that clicked occasionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two long antennae swayed at the top of its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This one gives me the creeps.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was a suit of armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not just any armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a full set of plate armor, broad in the torso and arms, clearly built for a warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except it had no head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The helmet was entirely absent, leaving only a void where the neck should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor moved on its own, walking with heavy, deliberate steps, a faint blue light emanating from the gaps between the plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A possessed suit of armor... a classic dungeon monster.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the third...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark’s gaze stopped on the third creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that’s what she appeared to be. She had long ears and ram-like horns that curved from the sides of her head — jet black, contrasting sharply with her white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin was a deep crimson red, covered with irregular black patches in a patterned design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore several golden accessories — on her ears, fingers, and wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around her neck she had a collar with a pentagram pendant resting against her chest, and her outfit was quite simple: a one-piece beige dress that reached mid-thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark found her attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure was curvaceous, with wide hips and an average chest. Her eyes were golden, and she had a long, slender tail that swayed lazily behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark caught himself staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stop.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly reminded himself that both Ely and Aria were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they noticed him staring at the demon woman, they would not be pleased. Not even a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Focus... act like a proper dungeon lord. Do not stare at the attractive demon.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel before your new Grand Master,\" Ely commanded, her voice resonating through the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, all three monsters dropped to one knee, bowing their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely and Yuki — who had reappeared from the shadows — also knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Aria, standing beside the throne, gracefully lowered herself onto one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark sat up straighter on his throne, trying to look authoritative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Alright... time to act like a proper lord of death. Or dungeon master. Whatever.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Ely said, her voice respectful and formal. \"Here are the dungeon’s subordinates. These three are the only high-level intelligent creatures in the dungeon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise,\" Mark said, trying to sound commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone rose in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark gestured for Ely to approach, then did the same for Yuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely moved to his left side, standing beside the throne. Yuki appeared behind him, her presence barely perceptible but reassuring. Aria remained to his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good. Now I look like a proper villain. Sitting on a dark throne with three beautiful women around me and monsters kneeling before me. This is... actually pretty cool.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then reality hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait. How am I supposed to act in front of these monsters? What am I supposed to say?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Mark could figure out what to say, the cockroach man spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Greg, and I apologize for not coming immediately when you became the dungeon’s master, my Lord,\" he said, his voice rough and clicking, like plates grinding against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark blinked at the unusual sound of his voice, but quickly composed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need,\" Mark said, keeping his tone calm and authoritative. \"I brought you here because I wanted to meet you... so there’s no need to apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cockroach man tilted his head slightly in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the headless armor stepped forward and gave a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I suppose it’s also apologizing. Or just being respectful. Hard to tell.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the demon woman spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was playful, lively, and unmistakably flirtatious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’m Cali!\" the demon girl said brightly, then looked him over very carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, honestly I wasn’t expecting you to be so cute~\" she purred, her golden eyes sparkling with mischief. \"Wouldn’t you like to fill me with your seed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Uh. WHAT?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark’s brain short-circuited for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did she just seriously ask me to—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even process what had just happened, Ely’s voice sliced through the air like a whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SPEAK TO THE MASTER WITH MORE RESPECT, YOU SHAMELESS HARLOT!\" Ely roared, her face flushing red with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aria followed immediately, her voice dripping venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brazen little tramp! You’re lucky the Master is gracious enough that he’ll probably overlook your impudence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cali only smiled innocently, clearly enjoying the reaction she had provoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark, meanwhile, was trying very hard not to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I mean... if she’s asking like that, I honestly don’t have a problem with it. But if I say that out loud, the girls will get even angrier. So... best to keep acting like a proper sovereign.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark cleared his throat, forcing himself to maintain his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I called you here,\" Mark said, his voice firm and authoritative, \"is that, as you’ll see, the dungeon is about to be restructured — and I need you to carry out certain instructions I’ll be giving you. Among them are explicit orders that both you and your subordinates continue to refrain from leaving the dungeon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cockroach man nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t even need to ask that, my Lord,\" he said. \"We have no interest in the outside world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon woman nodded in agreement, followed by the headless armor, which raised a thumb in what Mark assumed was approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark raised an eyebrow, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask why you have no interest in leaving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cockroach man was again the first to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is nothing out there for us, my Lord. The adventurers who come here are more than enough. I am a scavenger — I feed on the corpses they leave behind... so I have no need to go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headless armor said nothing, but knocked on its breastplate twice, as if in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon woman stretched lazily, her tail swaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I prefer to stay in my room, reading books and journals that adventurers bring in,\" she said with a shrug. \"I’ve never had a reason to cause trouble outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh. So they’re basically homebodies. Monsters who just... stay in the dungeon and mind their own business. That’s... surprisingly convenient.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s keep it that way,\" Mark said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark leaned forward slightly, resting his arms on the armrests of the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But from now on, you’ll be under the direct supervision of Ely, Aria, and Yuki,\" he said, gesturing to the three women around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will obey them as you would obey me. I’ll give my orders to them, and they’ll pass those orders on to you... understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three monsters nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my Lord,\" said the cockroach man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headless armor gave another bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Cali smiled and gave a playful little salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If everything is clear,\" Mark said, \"you may go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three monsters rose and began walking toward the exit. But just before Cali stepped through the door, she turned her head toward Mark and winked — then disappeared through the doorway, the door closing behind her with a heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark stared at the closed door for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Cali is going to be a problem, isn’t she?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1299,"2026-06-02T12:17:11.678Z",1,"novelbin.me","2668ab96e0d25e7c2a4d8fab356459bec68af4ca795605e47d19349e7ba8c16a","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-30","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-28",190,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-cover.jpg"]
