Fantasy Dungeon Builder's Harem

Mrs. Zoe Baldwin stepped out of the administrative building into Astovin with Mrs. Lucina at her side. The motherly dryad smiled at the townsfolk who waved at her and bowed. They didn't see her leafy-green hair and golden-brown skin as strange any longer.

Nor did they think that Mrs. Lucina with her glowing halo above her head and her white angel wings was strange. They accepted that the two MILF monster girls were a part of their community. Mrs. Baldwin couldn't help but smile back at them.

"How's your morning going?" she asked a pair of motherly women heading to the marketplace.

"Oh, good, good, Lady Baldwin," said one. "My youngest talks nonstop about becoming one of Lord Leo's adventurers."

"So does my daughter," said the other mother. She had a bright smile on her face. "She just wants to help him protect our world. My heart could just burst."

Mrs. Baldwin nodded. It reminded her of a few friends that had been proud their children were joining the military. Conservative women. It was a sentiment that the dryad had never understood until this moment.

She had thought the military and the wars were jingoist. To fill Big Oil and Big Pharma's pockets with more cash. But when there was something really worth fighting for, your village, your people, a world that was facing true threats, then it was something worthwhile. It was amazing when your children wanted to protect it.

"I'm sure they'll be great adventurers and fight the rogue dungeon builders," Mrs. Baldwin said.

Mrs. Lucina nodded.

The two monster girls and the two village wives headed to the marketplace, chatting. Mrs. Baldwin enjoyed it. Like when mothers would talk while watching their kids at the playground or bumping into friends at the grocery store. They reached the market to shop for food to feed the growing number of "mundane" inhabitants of the dungeon. Leo, Fara, Halia, Kassie, and the adventurers all needed real food. They didn't live off the Void Crystal.

Mrs. Baldwin could eat, drink, and even sleep, but she didn't need any of it. She could just sit down and somehow let time pass. Like a nap that could last for centuries, or so it seemed. It was how the monster girls passed a lot of their time when they weren't fucking or patrolling.

We were created with a purpose, Mrs. Baldwin thought. We're not even real, are we?

The thought troubled her. There was another Mrs. Baldwin who waved off Crystal, Leo, and Garnet as they headed off to college. A mother watching her children grow up. That Mrs. Baldwin would watch them grow older, grow apart. Move away. Start families. She would age and die, while the one strolling beside Mrs. Lucina would never age. Never change. She would exist as long as her son did.

She had no purpose but Leo's.

Is that bad? I'm happy. She smiled. She was happy. Contented. She wanted to help these people. To fight for them. But she would never sacrifice like these mothers did. She would never hear the terrible news that her child was killed fighting the enemies of this world.

If her son died, then they all would. And if one of her daughters, and she thought of most of the monster girls as her daughters, died, they would come back. Respawned. That's the term, right?

"Are you okay?" asked Mrs. Lucina. The angelic MILF favored Mrs. Baldwin with a questioning smile.

"Just letting my mind drift," Mrs. Baldwin said. "Ooh, look at those. Daikon radishes. That's new."

"Just harvested," said one of the friendly village wives. "They're delicious when pickled."

"Have to try that out," said Mrs. Baldwin. Maybe she wasn't "real" but she existed. She had emotions, worry. She loved.

And she hated.

Sulanga Stormfury was just the most recent one she hated. All the dungeon builders who threatened her children needed to pay.

"We should invite Siwang and his monster girls for dinner," Mrs. Baldwin said.

"And invite Xiongbu to shop with us next time," said Mrs. Lucina. "Then have some nice tea in the sun and chat."

Mrs. Baldwin liked that. There were no crises.

"Oh, look," said Mrs. Lucina. "There's Paetu and some of the harpies!"

They were flying out to start their first patrol. Mrs. Lucina raised her hand and waved at them. They split apart and flew out to the right and left. Mrs. Baldwin nodded at that as she picked at the daikon radishes.

She selected just one, for now. They were big, and she had never cooked with them before. So she wanted to experiment with them. She added some fresh leaks and cucumbers to her pouch along with a hunk of salted beef.

"What's that!" someone gasped. "In the sky!"

"Oh, it's just one of Lord Leo's new monster girls," said Mrs. Baldwin. "He just recruited some harpies. See." Mrs. Baldwin looked up to see a black-winged monster girl flying over the village. But she didn't have feathered wings like the harpies, and had a white belly.

One of the real harpies flew at the newcomer only for black shadows to erupt from the monster girl and destroy her. The basket with the food fell from Mrs. Baldwin's hands. Her heart lurched as the poor harpy died.

"Flee to safety!" cried Mrs. Baldwin. "Get to the dungeon! Hurry! Hurry! Evacuate right now!"

Mrs. Bella Lucina spread her angelic wings wide and flapped them. She launched into the air as the villagers were shouting. She beat her wings and rushed up at the monster girl. From the administrative building, Feya took to the air, too. The fairy's pink-and-purple butterfly wings beat the sky, her wand in her hand.

As Mrs. Lucina flew closer, the attacking monster girl looked reptilian. All scales, black with white bands across the large breasts and belly. She had small horns that peeked out of red hair flowing behind her. She flexed her fingers as she stared down at the angel and the fairy.

"What is going on?" Leo shouted through Mrs. Lucina's mind. "Three harpies are dead. Is it just one monster girl?"

"Only one that I see, Lord Leo," Mrs. Baldwin said. "We're getting the villagers evacuated. Mrs. Lucina and Feya are flying towards her."

"She looks like Isatu," Mrs. Lucina said. "Like a black version of Isatu, Lord Leo. A dragon in monster girl form."

"Shit," he growled.

Feya flicked her wand and a beam of light fired from the tip. At the same moment, Mrs. Lucina launched a blast of radiance from her halo. The two attacks flashed at the dragon. With a flap of wings and a twist of her body, she dodged both attacks then dove.

She hurtled at Feya. The fairy gasped and flapped her wings, but the dragon was on her in moments. She slammed into Feya's body, claws burying into her chest. Blood spurted from the impact. Mrs. Lucina cried out in horror as the dragon ripped the fairy in half.

Feya vanished, her scream dying to a ring in Mrs. Lucina's ears.

"No!" Mrs. Lucina gasped and fired another blast of light from her halo.

It struck the dragoness in the back as the angel soared after. Black scales sizzled. The dragoness snarled in pain and twisted around, now falling towards the ground facing the angel. A black cloud burst from the enemy's mouth.

Mrs. Lucina gasped. She flapped her wings to dodge it, but she was flying down too fast and the cloud expanded before her. She tried to bank, but it was too late. The darkness engulfed her. She screamed as this terrible chill stole through her body.

The blackness drained the vitality from her. The life. She felt the cold touch of the grave. She burst out of the cloud to see her pale skin blackening. Her fingers shriveled. She screamed one more time then the world vanished.

She plunged into the Void, dead.

"Shit, shit, shit," I growled as I stood in the Vault. Two of my monster girls were dead. I gripped the Void Crystal. From here, I could move around my monster girls. Who was attacking? Mrs. Lucina and Feya were dead along with three harpies. "What's going on?"

"The dragon's flying at Paetu," reported Hraniti, one of the rock elementals guarding a gate. "Paetu's gone into her whirlwind form."

"Is it really a dragon?" I demanded.

"I don't know, Lord Leo," Hraniti answered. "We're getting people to safety."

"Southeast part is clear," reported Solodada, one of the hellhounds.

"Northwest is clear, Lord Leo!" cried Asnova, another of the rock elementals. "The villagers know what they're doing."

"West part is clear," added Marmur, a third rock elemental.

"Good, good," I muttered.

"East is clear, too!" Mazsi shouted. The goblin sounded so excited. Her voice nearly screamed my mind deaf.

"Northeast clear, also!" added Zala, another of the goblins. "She's fighting Paetu now. They're dancing through the air. I think she has it."

Paetu died.

I groaned.

"Southwest is empty of villagers, Lord Leo," Infierna, a hellhound, yipped. "Ooh, I want to fight her. She's so mean."

"Evacuation is almost complete, Leo," my mother reported. "Wait, the dragon's landing. I'm leading a force to attack her."

"Siwang," I sent. "Make sure your monster girls are ready for a fight!"

"Yes, I've heard," said Siwang. "We'll support you if you need us."

Nodding, I gripped the Void Crystal and felt all those villagers that had entered. The halflings would have to shelter in the normal building, none of them could enter my dungeon. The villagers were filling up the rooms I had created for them to evacuate into. I moved the stragglers into the rooms then shifted them deep into my dungeon behind all my defenses. Just like I had planned. They were safe. Now it was time to deal with this dragon.

I started moving monster girls.​
