Sever the Fang that Holds the Future
With Eva’s advice, we temporarily opened a portal inside a forest for us to safely walk out without drawing attention to ourselves. Nobody was around so we relaxed ourselves and started looking for weak monsters that we could bring back to our dungeon. Still, we know the Agni priests are still snooping around the vicinity of rabbits and foxed in the plains so we can’t go near that area and had to settle for what could possibly kill us inside this forest.
It didn’t take long for us to notice something moving in the distance. However, it wasn’t monsters but in fact people. A group of human bandits were attacking a family of fox demi-humans. There were 3 of them hacking away at the father while another 3 had subdued the mother and proceeded to strip her of her clothing. The children had tried to run, but the remaining 2 humans had quickly captured them. Throughout all of this, these bandits were laughing at their misery.
Looking at each other, we could see the reflection of our own disgust and anger at what was happening. There was no need to discuss. All that needed to be done was to kill each and every last one of them.
Normally, people would have to slowly learn how to use magic, but it’s not necessary if you learned to do so in other VRMMO’s. In our case, we always played as magic users so it’s second nature for us. Only downside is that we can only control a miniscule amount of our elements with our low stats, but even a pebble is capable of killing someone depending on how you use it.
Moving my sights to the bandit who was already in position to rape the mother, I manifested a sharp sheet of ice above him. It then rapidly fell and sliced off his precious manhood. An agonizing cry of pain echoed throughout the forest as large amounts of blood gushed out from between his legs and was quickly followed by another scream as a spear of fire pierced straight into the ass of a bandit holding her down. He fell down onto his face and started to roll around on the grass to put out the fire. Not that it will do much for his ass. Everyone had already noticed our existence, but one of the bandits who were distracted had paid for his mistake with a missing arm by the prudence of the father.
Bandit 1: “Damn it! Who the hell are you?”
Flare: “Your worst nightmare.”
After saying so, we continued to fire off magic but with less success than our surprise attacks. Still, the mother was able to deal with the last guy on her while the father was still being held back by the 2 and a half bandits keeping him at bay. The 2 bandits who had captured the children tried to pull off a hostage scenario, but I simply conjured a couple of small ice spikes outside their peripheral view and jammed them into their ears.
We may be lower leveled than these bandits, but pain is still pain. As long as we hit the right spot, it will distract them long enough to get a good hit in. My little sister capitalized on that and used fire jets to propel her to the bandits to land a fire fist on one of the bandits face while I conjured dual swords made of ice and charged ahead.
She was a little clunky with her fire jets since it’s the 1st time she has done something like that, but the end result was still the same even if it ended up with her landing on her ass. The leftover bandit had already recovered somewhat to block my attack, but was still uneasy on his feet after having his senses impaired a little. Even my follow-up attack was dodged easily.
Even so, I ran forward with a charging thrust with both of my swords hopefully pointing towards vitals. He smirked at me thinking he was about to win until a bang came from his back which knocked him straight towards me and more importantly, my swords. He was instantly impaled by my sword with one of them actually hitting his heart. To my displeasure, however, the force that propelled him was too much for me to handle so I got tackled and was sent flying onto the ground with a corpse on top of me.
Slowly getting myself out from under that bandit corpse, I glanced at my surroundings. The father had finished off the rest of the bandits with a little help from the mother’s magic. The children were crying while being embraced by their mother. My little sister was playing by burning off the dick of the last remaining bandit who lived. I smiled at that. Even if he lives, we don’t want his genes spreading throughout the world. Of course, just to be safe, I had also severed any dicks off the corpses of bandits to make sure all of them were dead and there were quite a few pretenders.

Looking towards my sister with a questioning expression as she looks back at me with raised eyebrows, I can tell she received the same title as I did. Well, the title isn’t wrong but it is exaggerating a little. It’s not like we are going to go destroy every man’s future. Like this, people are just going to fear us for no reason. Even the father and his son are already trying to hide their manhoods when we look towards them. After mentally sighing, I walk over to my sister in order to have a little chat.
Snow: “You know, you could put a little less force into your punches. That bandit was really heavy.”
Flare: “You seemed fine to me.”
Snow: “Hey, I lost 20 hp to that stunt. That’s almost half of my entire hp bar.”
Flare: “Oh? If you can’t handle this much then it will be difficult to fight against the world since as you said it was an interesting situation.” ‘I can feel the sarcasm in her voice as she knocks me off my high-horse. It’s my fault for not thinking too deeply about how seriously bad our situation is.’
Snow: “I’m sorry little sis for not thinking much about this.” ‘Real, genuine tears pour down my face as I body slam my sister onto the ground and cry into her chest.’
Flare: “Ah geez, what will I do with you.”
Snow: “Will you fo-forgive me?” ‘My sobs start to drown out my words.’
Flare: “Of course I will forgive you.” ‘With that said, she starts petting my head like I am a child. Although it’s embarrassing, it does feel good.’
We sisters have made it a rule to always make up with each other within a day if we were to get angry at each other for some reason. It’s mostly because it’s lonely without our other half by our side. I mean, how can we creep out people by ending each other’s sentences if we are not together? Yes, we are truly a selfish pair of twins!
In a world for just the two of them, there exist twins having a heartwarming moment despite being surrounded by a bunch of dead bandits with their dicks either cut off or burnt and one with the inside of their ass burnt. The onlookers had no idea whether to be happy for being saved or scared at how they were saved. Only the mother was calm as she approached the twins to interrupt their moment in order to offer her thanks. The father and his son had looks of relief flash across their face as they could simply shove all the responsibilities onto the mother.
Mother Fox: “Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt an important moment for you two. My family and I would like to offer our thanks from saving us from a horrible fate. If there is anything we can do for you, please ask us and we will try to assist you as long as it is within our means to do so.”
We quit our drama session and make ourselves look a little more presentable as saviors as she was offering her thanks. We can’t look heroic if we are covered in tears right?
Snow: “No need for any of that.”
Flare: “We helped out because we wanted to and not for any reward.”
Snow: “Besides, we can’t let scum like that have children.”
Sweat starts to drip down the foreheads of the men as they remember the mayhem wrought by these two young women. It’s kind of hard to forget something when the evidence of such an incident is all around you. They even grimaced as the mother brutally crushed one of the severed dicks as she walked towards the “executors.”
Flare: “Yeah, the world will be a better place if they can’t breed.”
Mother Fox: “I agree wholeheartedly with you! I will forever remember your figures as you saved me from those disgusting things.” ‘As she said so, she grasps our hands and heavily shake them with ample admiration.’
And thus begins our ascension to becoming a role model for women everywhere. Even the daughter is gazing at us with sparkling eyes of sapphire. Well, I guess this much is fine considering both of them would have seen hell for the rest of their lives had we not stepped in.
Snow: “Although, we could use a little help in capturing some weak monsters for our dungeon.”
Flare: “Yeah, I want to move on from being a slime dungeon.”
Snow: “Funny since you are the one who wanted to make them in the 1st place.” ‘I tease her seeing her discontent towards slimes.’
Flare: “Only to kill.”
Snow: “Then why haven’t you killed any yet?”
Flare: “I don’t want to be covered in slime.” ‘After she said that, I couldn’t help but clutch my sides as I laugh over her excuse made in hindsight. I wonder if this is how the gods and goddesses feel after creating various life forms.’
Mother Fox: “Ah, well if it’s just that then we can help you. My name is Valeria and I am an alchemist. The fool hiding some treasure over there is my adorable husband, Arsen, and he is a warrior. Our pride and joy are Farris, our son, and Fayyim, our daughter.”
Looking closely, we see that Valeria is demon fox demi-human from her black furry ears and her black tail with a red tip at the end. Her eyes were even crimson red like a demon’s eyes. She was also a decent user of dark magic as well.
Arsen is most likely a holy fox demi-human considering his white fur and how efficient he was in healing himself while fighting. If he wasn’t a healer, he probably would have never lasted so long while outnumbered. His eyes glowed in golden light that made him look like a royal along with his fluffy white tail that had a golden tip at the end.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Both Farris and Fayyim showed traits of their parents. Their dichromatic eyes reflected crimson in one eye while the other was golden in color. Unlike their parents, they had 2 tails which showed their greater potential as fox demi-humans. Each tail represented one of their parents which probably meant that they are capable of using both of their magic affinities.
Valeria: “Dear, Farris, Fayyim! Please get over here and thank your saviors.”
With a grunt, Arsen walks forward as if staring at the jaws of death. Closely following behind him is Farris who looks like he might wet himself. Fayyim is just nonchalantly skipping towards us without a care in the world as she hums a tune.
Arsen: “Thank you for saving my dear wife and kids.” ‘He says with a quick bow before hiding behind Valeria. Some warrior you are!’
Fayyim: “Thank you very much for saving us big sisters. Come on, you too big brother.”
With a slap on his back, Farris walks forward and breathes deeply. Resolving himself, he then gave a look of grim determination. Really now, he’s acting like we stole his candy and then beat him upside the head with it.
Farris: “I thank you for saving us and mom.”
Arsen: “Hey, what about me?”
Farris: “What about you?”
Arsen: *kuh* “You little brat!”
Valeria: “It can’t be helped dear. You were a little useless when it actually mattered.”
As if the final nail had stabbed him in the heart, Arsen collapsed to his knees. He mutters things like “I was trying my hardest” or “I want to be praised too.” His wife could only smile in response to her husband’s drama while Fayyim is openly laughing. The perpetrator, Farris, only shrugged his shoulders as if his father was a disappointment. You wouldn’t think this was a family about to be sold into slavery from the way they are behaving.
Valeria: “Ignoring him, I would like to request sanctuary in your dungeon. If you allow us a safe place to live our lives, then we can assist you in the growth of your dungeon.”
Flare: “Do we get petting rights over your children?”
Snow: “Do we get hug pillow rights over your children?”
Valeria: “Why of course! It’s the least they can do for you.”
Flare + Snow: “Yay!” ‘With a shout, we hug each other in gleeful happiness.’
Farris: “Hey, mother! Don’t sell us out!”
Valeria: “Oh? But your sister seems to already be enjoying herself.” ‘And it’s true. A little fox girl had jumped into the hug fest without anyone noticing.’
Farris: “Sister…..”
Once we had settled everything, we went around to hunt for some monsters. We had asked beforehand if something happened to their home for them to want to live in our dungeon and apparently bandits had attacked their village. Before we could even offer to help, we were shot down. According to Arsen, there are extremely high lvl bandits among those who attacked their village. Otherwise, it’s impossible to raid their village as demi-humans are known for their strength and lust for battle. The ones we fought were mostly grunts and the strongest of them were the ones fighting Arsen.
Through Valeria’s urging, we captured a dozen bees away from their hive and sent them inside our dungeon. She says it will be beneficial as bees like to scatter pollen and make honey. We would have went for an entire hive, but it’s extremely bad to disturb a hive and it will piss them all off.
Squirrels were also extremely useful as they like to plant seeds. Although, they will eat some of the seeds as it is their main source of food. They are small and cute, but they have some sharp claws that can easily slice you apart. Why are the cute ones the deadliest?
As the Agni priests were still stalking the plains, we had to capture a few rabbits of a more deadly variety. Feral rabbits look like normal rabbits that are slightly bigger, but they have extremely sharp teeth and can eat meat. They still love their carrots, but never get on their bad side and especially by stealing their carrots. According to Valeria, the last person who tried that didn’t even have bones remaining after the resulting massacre. Cute, but deadly!
Now that the primary source of meat has been secured, we had finally went and found a fox. Strangely enough, it just looked at us before leading us towards its nest where its family was resting. Upon seeing us, they all got up and waited on us to open a portal to the dungeon for them.
It’s weird how we don’t even need to fight or lure a monster into our dungeon. They just instinctually sense that we rule over a dungeon and decide to join us. Monsters aren’t sentient, but they can still think for themselves to an extent.
After returning to our dungeon, we were met with a strange sight. Hundreds of slimes all over the dungeon and many had changed into different types to match their environments. Water slimes, ice slimes, rock slimes, fire slimes, and even lava slimes are now a part of our dungeon. Most monsters can only change their bodies through a rank-up, but slimes are able to do so in order to adapt to their environment.
Suddenly, Valeria shot out a few dark spears to kill a few slimes and carried off their cores with a delightfully, creepy expression. This made everyone back away in fright due to the rapid change in her atmosphere. Looking at her family, we see Arsen nod in confirmation to our thoughts. Obviously, they have witnessed this many times, but I rather not ask questions when the answers might scare me.
Ignoring the madness for now, we increased the size of the room for our dungeon heart to 30x30m. It was mostly so Arsen could have some space to make a small temporary shelter. Surprisingly enough, it’s actually common for demi-humans to keep enough materials for temporary housing in case they need to run during an emergency.
The children were currently playing with Eva whom mesmerized them with her beauty, but mostly due to the 12 wings growing from her back. She was a little grumpy at being made into a hug pillow by a little girl, but she got over it as they began to play games. Farris had a hilarious look on his face as he stared slack jawed at her and I even thought he was going to confess on the spot. Unfortunately for him, Eva had shot him down before he even tried. Fayyim consoled her brother and they began to play together. Eva may dislike being treated as a child, but she sure does get along well with children.

As it has been a while, we decided to look at our stats. We only gained 2 lvls from that little skirmish, but it can’t be helped. We simply spread the stat points we gained equally over intelligence and wisdom as it’s our best source of damage. My ice blades and her fire bangs depend on magic stats despite our usage of it in a physical manner.
Looking throughout the rest of the dungeon, it seems like we will have quite a bit of work to do in order to fit our ever growing horde of monsters. With a nod in the other’s direction, we both head off to our own sides to begin the expansion of the dungeon. We had already decided on a basic layout in order to make invaders have to go through every room on one side to even reach our dungeon heart room. Once we complete the basic layout, we will add more twists and turns to it in order to make people lose their way.
