Question the receptionist

It was your turn so you pulled your gaze away from the girl and stepped up to the counter.

“A new face… huh… and real armor? Please tell me you are here to actually work?”

“I… I was going to join the guild…“ You replied hesitantly. ”I wanted to get stronger and um… I am sorry what is going on here?”

You watched as the guild girls eyes grew shifty for a second then in a slightly loud voice.

“Lyra take over for me, I have a new adventurer here who I need to have a consultation with.”

“Room three’s open Lepus~”

“Thanks!" she yells back before motioning to you. “Come with me.”

She opened a door and led you back into the guild proper. Down a hall and to a small but well-furnished room. It had couches and a table. Overall it looked like sitting rooms you had seen in the castle but a lot less fancy.

Once you were both seated, she composes herself before starting.

“Do you know the life expectancy of an adventurer?”

You didn’t, but thinking back to your past life… In games it was fine to be an adventurer practically immortal, but you knew in a world without respawning where your life was always on the line, it had to be low. As you thought that over though she answered for you.

“Over a hundred years, sometimes twice that long.”

That was not the answer you were about to give, and it showed on your face. Did respawning exist in this world?

“That is… for a female adventurer, for a male adventurer it is closer to three months.”

Three months had been lower then you were thinking but yeah fighting monsters… that made more sense then triple what you thought the average life expectancy would be.

“From what we can tell, the monsters were made specifically by demons to mate with human women. They won’t kill a human they know is female. They would rather die, because they are all male and their drive is to make more by impregnating human women. Their ejaculate has many effects, beauty and youth are some of the good ones. Addiction and willpower drain are some of the less good ones.”

Her hand moved over her lower stomach in an **** gesture before she continued.

“The big negative is… if you take monster semen into your womb, you can never bear a human child again. Monsters are a threat to mankind, they kill men and they kill our ability to reproduce. They are also fierce and with the army fighting the demons some one has to deal with them. So women like me… like you step up to do the job, but at the moment we are at a stalemate. You see... it is easy to just let them breed you and so instead of lowering the population many adventurers just increase it.”

It is a lot to take in, but all of a sudden it made sense. You had been fighting monsters in armor that hid your secondary sexual characteristics. You also had been surrounded by men, so of course monsters would attack you. But all the female adventurers dressed in outfits that exaggerated those features, showing their hairless bodies, their enlarged breasts, and wide hips. This was perfect armor for their job because if recognized as a woman they would never be attacked. The worst thing that could happen was…

“The cart…” you let the word slip into the quiet room.

“Ahh you saw that? Um… it is policy that once ten or more adventurers fail the same quest by going missing, we petition the city garrison to wipe out the nest and bring the girls back. I assure you they are all fine, and after a bit of magical therapy they will be ready and eager to get back to work.”

“Magical therapy?”

“Yeah, mostly a bit of memory wiping to dim their recollection of how good it felt and some artificial stat boosting of their willpower so they can build their resistance back up. I know it looks and sounds horrible… but trust me…”

At that point she gained a far off look that became surprisingly lewd. Drool started to leak from her mouth before she shook her self out of it and continued.

“Trust me, there is nothing more rewarding or pleasurable in the world. Being a female adventurer means if you succeeded you save countless lives and get paid for it, if you fail you are rewarded with pleasure beyond anything a normal person will ever experience and still get paid for it.”

“But signing up for the guild is giving consent, you will be fucked by monsters doing this job. Are you ok with that?”
