Alexander and Starlight are walking down a tunnel before they come to a sudden halt, Starlight shooting Alexander a weird look.

"What's wrong?" Starlight asks frowning.

The tunnel suddenly shakes mildly for several seconds before calming down.

"Didn't you feel that release of intense magical energy just now?" Alexander asks looking down either side of the tunnel they are in.

"I did... Do you think it was Twilight?" Starlight stares forward down the tunnel with a concerned expression.

"It's possible... I'm slightly more worried about the four new entities that entered the mine-" Alexander frowns as he looks up slightly.

"What's the matter now?" Starlight asks trying to follow his gaze.

"My wind magic that was mapping the mine has been dispelled... Which could mean only one thing." Alexander sighs as he grins slightly.

"What? What does it mean?" Starlight questions sounding frustrated.

The hallway is coated in a dense purple magic aura as it's morphed into a stone hallway compared to a run down mine tunnel. Alexander's clothes also morph to a flowing emerald green tailcoat that has gold trim, a white frilled collar shirt and black trousers with brown boots. Around his neck appears a dragon pendant holding a green gem and attached to a silver chain.

"What in the name of Celestia happened to the mine? Not to mention your odd change in fashion sense." Starlight asks placing her hand on her hip.

"I wouldn't exactly be judging if I were you..." Alexander folds his arms as he stares at the mare.

"What do you mean-" Starlight begins to ask before looking down at herself.

Starlight is wearing a pitch black corset with a generous amount of cleavage being exposed, a long dark purple tailcoat that has deep silver trim combined with a black skirt and a pair of see-through black stockings, finally with a dark purple lace choker around her neck.

"What the fuck is this?!" Starlight asks surprised at her sudden change in clothes.

"If I had to make any guess, those four who just entered are my D&D group. Among them would be Jerry, our DM." Alexander observes as Starlight twirls a few times still trying to grasp her outfit.

"That still doesn't explain these slutty clothes!" Starlight exclaims.

"Jerry has... Questionable, but not entirely displeased tastes." Alexander states as he nods a few times with his eyes closed.

"You're enjoying this aren't you..?" Starlight stares at Alexander with a deadpan expression.

"I wouldn't be a man if I didn't appreciate what is currently before me." Alexander exclaims with pride.

"Pervert..." Starlight states with a sigh.

Alexander stretches before swiping his hand in front of him to make a drop-down menu appear in thin air like something from a video game. Looking through the options he selects one labelled 'Help', he then picks 'DM Support' from the next menu as a ringing phone symbol appears in place of the menu.

"Welcome to DM support, how may I help you this fine evening?" Jerry asks with a smug tone in his voice.

"I'm going to imagine you either came here anyway or somehow had Taylor follow my scent trail here... You know if I didn't show to the parlour there is something wrong?" Alexander states as he sighs deeply.

"I had Taylor track you and I do, why do you think I set up our dungeon for this evening? Not only will it allow us to progress the story but it will also make things a tad easier to help you." Jerry states in response, as an orb appears in front of Starlight and scans her body.

"I see, I suppose it makes sense... So, what's our setting for tonight?" Alexander asks as Starlight pokes the orb.

The said orb morphs into a detailed character sheet with a keyboard below it.

"Put your name in the sheet Starlight. I'm so glad you asked, it's floor 99 of the Gorgons Tower. As always you must find the waterfall cavern in order to locate the exit to the final floor. Good luck and be sure to message me if you need anything." Jerry states before hanging up.

Alexander sighs and looks over at Starlight who is filling out the desired locations of her sheet before it glows and finishes itself.

"I think I've done this right... Most of the basic details were filled out already. Maybe you can make sense of some of these 'stats' though." Starlight prompts Alexander who walks closer.

"Let me see-" Alexander's eyes go wide when he looks at her sheet. "How the fuck do you have a level 99 magic skill! Not only that but all your magic-related skills are stupid high for a starter... You're level 85 too! Da fuq is this shit!" Alexander exclaims as he groans frustrated.

"Why what are your stats?" Starlight asks looking confused.

Alexander pulls out his menu and navigates to his character sheet for Starlight to look over making her even more confused.

"Hmm it's only a little higher than yours but you're level 90." Starlight states as she looks up at Alexander.

"That took me a few weeks, you're right from the fucking start! This is frustrating..." Alexander takes a deep breath before exhaling to calm himself down.

"So, what is the plan?" Starlight asks, again looking at her clothes.

"We press on I suppose. We all have to find the exit so that'll allow us to meet up and work on a plan for the slime." Alexander explains as he raises an eyebrow at Starlight who is staring at her flank.

"These clothes make my plot look amazing... Don't you think?" Starlight asks Alexander as she cocks her head to the side.

"Why don't you lead for a bit?" Alexander suggests with a slight cough.

Raising her eyebrow amusingly, Starlight turns around and purposely begins to lead them while sauntering a little.

"If ever there was a time to die happy..." Alexander states under his breath.

Starlight holds out her hand and forms a blazing fireball, almost the size of the hallway before incinerating a group of skeletons wielding falchions and iron shields.

"This is actually a lot of fun and is surprisingly easy~" Starlight sings as her XP counter goes up.

"She could have likely soloed this entire dungeon if she wanted..." Alexander sighs as the fire dies down and they continue walking.

"So, how exactly does this D&D thing work for you guys?" Starlight asks as they walk through the ashes of her fallen foes.

"Basically Jerry and his family are very proficient users of trans-dimensional magic. Jerry combines this with his illusion magic to create what he calls his DM magician loadout which he uses to do what you see here. The loadout allows him to manipulate the layout of the mine so no floor is the same in our dungeons. His illusion magic allows him to form and summon realistic creatures for us to face and to even create our D&D clothes." Alexander explains as he juggles an orb of concentrated wind in his right hand.

"You should have told me about this before when you started sneaking out, this is so far a lot of fun." Starlight states happily.

"I'm sure Jerry would let you join if you asked. For now, we should focus on trying to get out of this floor... Remember that slime is still on the loose."

The pair comes to an engraved door with a shield and sword insignia upon it. Intrigued Starlight opens the door and they enter a dark room before the door shuts behind them.

"Figures it'd be some form of trapped room..." Alexander exclaims as the room brightens to give more visibility.

Now being able to see, they can see the room is a very vibrant pink which makes Alexander uncomfortable. Along the middle border of the walls is a string of heart decals.

"This room makes me nauseous..." Alexander states groaning.

In front of the pair are three large chests, one silver, one cobalt and one pink. Starlight walks over to the chests and looks them over, obviously intrigued by what might be inside them.

"Should we open them?" Starlight asks, looking at Alexander.

"I'd rather not... Given the room and that the chests could be trapped, I've no doubt Jerry has something up his sleeve here." Alexander sighs deeply.

Entirely ignoring Alexander's potential warning, Starlight proceeds to open the pink chest which releases a dense cloud of the same colour.

"Gah!" Starlight exclaims as she falls back onto her flank.

"Wait a second... I swear Taylor mentioned something about being trapped in a room like this for two hours or so... The door isn't locked though." Alexander ponders before looking at Starlight. "I said don't open the chest goddamnit!"

Starlight groans and sits up as she blinks a few times before looking at Alexander with half-lidded eyes as she begins to crawl towards him.

"Hmm, Alexander~" Starlight sings which makes Alexander shiver slightly.

"You either look drunk or horny and as normal it's difficult to tell which bloody one you are... Hold the phone..." Alexander looks past Starlight to see the chest is decorated with love hearts across its pink shell. "Jerry you sneaky son of a bitch DM, we talked about putting love spells, potions or gas in our dungeons!"

At that moment Alexander gets a pop-up tooltip from a spell he has called 'Area Analysis'. The report details the aerosol as being 'Desireant' which makes Alexander deadpan due to its name. The description states that the inhaler of the gas is given unbelievable confidence to seek out and fulfil their innermost desires.

"Oh, you sly coat wearing mother fucker..." Alexander sighs deeply before clicking his fingers and wraps wind around Starlight's wrists in a makeshift pair of handcuffs.

Satisfied with his work, Alexander is surprised when they are dispelled with relative ease making his expression drop instantly. Snapping his fingers again he forms a barrier of wind in front of Starlight and relaxes. A faint glow can be seen on the other side as Starlight channels a spell to her hand before touching the wind wall, making it dispel again with ease.

"Hmm, try harder~" Starlight sings as she gets closer.

"That moment in your life when you realise a pastel coloured pony from another world is a better magician than you are..." Alexander grimaces as he continues to walk backwards.

Attempting to move aside and slip past her, Alexander is suddenly placed in two pairs of glowing light purple magical handcuffs which render him immobile as he trips and falls onto the floor. Scrambling as much as currently possible he leans himself up against a nearby wall.

"That's how you make an effective restraint spell~" Starlight smiles seductively.

"This is just fucking depressing! Not the fact she wants me, but because I'm losing this battle of magical wits to a godforsaken pony. Fuck losing to Crowler, this is much worse!" Alexander practically whimpers in his debilitating state.

Alexander becomes very still as Starlight slides up and along his person to rest her head against his chest. The immobilized man in question is able to lower her head by roughly holding her horn, making her moan by mistake.

"You're always so rough~" Starlight states playfully.

"Because this Thursday couldn't get any more stressful..." Alexander grunts as he struggles against Starlight.

The mare in question lowers herself and caresses Alexander's groin lightly while nuzzling it gently. Alexander practically freezes before hearing a familiar voice.

"Should we come back later, Alexander?" Looking towards the door, Taylor can be seen standing there while Vinny leans against the doorway.

"Am I a terrible person if part of me wants to say yes?" Alexander asks in innocent curiosity.

Sighing, Taylor walks over and runs her finger along Starlight's spine shocking her back to normal as she appears to climax.

"That should flush it out of her system." Taylor states standing back up as her lightning hawk lands on her shoulder.

"Did you just make her...?" Alexander asks as the cuffs dispel and he stands up.

Starlight writhes in bliss under them before calming down and blinking her eyes open as she looks up at Alexander. The mare in question sits up quickly while blushing a bright shade of red.

"Umm... I don't really have an excuse to give at this moment in time..." Starlight states as Alexander helps her stand up.

"You don't really need one." Alexander sighs deeply.

"So, what's the plan?" Vinny asks as he pushes away from the door.

"We need to find the others while heading towards the exit. Be on the lookout for a magic eating slime that is on the loose, it already chased us down here." Alexander explains to the pair.

They nod and exit the room while Alexander and Starlight follow close behind. The mare being unable to look at Alexander directly.

"You don't need to feel ashamed about your desires, Starlight. Just do me a favour and don't change." Alexander states while looking forwards down the tunnel.

Starlight glances at Alexander giving him a slight nod while still blushing, but a bit happier than before.

Author's Notes:

Another chapter complete as we progress through the arc. I hope you're all still enjoying this story while I try and figure out how to write certain parts. At times I'm not sure how to feel about the chapter progression, but I know that it's a nice even pace which isn't overly fast and has enough content to not be too slow. Though I very much look forward to later arcs when things get turned up and the fun truly begins. We look forward to seeing your continued support for our journey.
