Ryan was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt something wet and soft trail across the skin on the back of his hand.
The girl was licking him.
'Damn, it's the debt system I designed... but how is this possible?'
Ryan observed the floating window and the girl with a mixture of disbelief and something that looked a bit too much like satisfaction.
She gripped him tightly and continued licking him; then her wet tongue traced the entire length of his finger before she gently slid the tip of Ryan's finger into her mouth.
She gave it a soft bite and fixed her gaze on Ryan.
She was completely flushed.
"Don't... don't look at me. You're... a pervert." she said in a low voice and continued sucking on his finger, reaching all the way to the second knuckle.
"And you say that while doing this?"
"You know... this can't be helped. Helen... Ryan is a pervert!"
"Hey, stop doing those things. I had to take care of the lizard monsters all by myself." Helen grumbled as she approached.
Ding!

The girl finally released him and stood up, turning her back to him.
"Take this." Without looking at him, Mirian handed him a handkerchief.
"A handkerchief?" Ryan asked.
"Yes... wipe yourself off. Wipe yourself already, it's embarrassing." Mirian grumbled, shrugging her shoulders without turning around.
Ryan took the handkerchief and began to clean himself up, calmly observing his surroundings.
Although it took him some time to process what was happening, he finally accepted that, somehow, the possibility existed that he had been transported into the game he was supposedly hired to work on.
'In that case, I want to confirm something.' Ryan crossed his arms and spoke a few words out of curiosity.
"Status"
Before his eyes, a transparent blue interface unfolded.

'There it is, the debt bug. The description says it will only work on women with low energy, low health, or those who expect assistance from the player. That is to say... from me.'
"Ryan, what's wrong? You're very distracted. We're going to rest now." Helen approached, taking him by the hand and forcing him to move forward.
"Yeah... but where are we going?"
"What do you mean where?" Mirian interrupted.
"This is the hundredth floor of the dungeon. We can only go to one place."
"And what place is that?"
'I didn't have time to study the game. Obviously, I don't know where we're going.'
"Well, home. Since we conquered the hundredth floor, we get to keep the boss chamber."
"Ah, right," Ryan nodded without rushing, following them. He would figure out the rest later.
He followed them, and they walked for a couple of minutes; in the distance, the white doors of the boss chamber could be seen, which now, according to what Mirian said, belonged to them.
'Isn't it dangerous to have a house inside the dungeon?'
Ryan had many questions, but at the same time, he wanted to avoid acting any stranger than he already had.
"Alright, how about you shower first, Ryan?" Helen suggested once they were all inside the room.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Although Ryan saw four doors, the sound of falling water came from only one of them, so it wasn't necessary to ask where the bathroom was.
"But... Helen, you're hurt. Ryan, heal her, please."
"No, wait. I'm fine, heh heh." Helen replied, slumping into a seated position.
"No, absolutely not... Ryan, please, heal her."
"But... think of an order first, please." Helen murmured, looking at Ryan with a very red face.
'Right, because when I heal her, she'll have to follow an order. So... what should I tell her?'
Ryan nodded his head as if the best possible idea had just occurred to him.
"Don't worry, I've got it. Don't stress."
Ryan stretched out both hands, pointing them toward Helen's body.
"Recovery." he intoned, and Helen's body lit up in a soft green color; it looked like an aura covering her body. Her short black hair stirred within that aura of energy, and both her wounds and her fatigue began to vanish.
The light surrounding Helen dispersed.
"Alright, I think that's it."
"Yep, heh heh. I appreciate it. Now, please... order me to do something, Ryan."
"Fine. Go guard the entrance of the shelter while I bathe."
"Yes!" Helen responded with excitement.
Ryan entered the bathroom; it wasn't what he expected. It actually looked like hot springs, except there was no steam and the water looked natural.
He took off his clothes and grabbed a towel from a basket at the entrance, wrapped it around his waist, and stepped into the water.
'I shouldn't be relaxed. I mean, I just got sent to this stupid world and I don't know if I'll ever be able to go home.'
Ryan leaned his back against the stones of that pool filled with water.
[Automatic debt collection initiated]
'It activated. She must already be guarding the entrance to the shelter. By the way, those girls... they don't seem like simple NPCs.'
"What is an NPC?" the voice sounded curious.
