Baby System: I'm the Beast World's Only Hope!-Chapter 226: AU Special - : What If I said "No"?
Author’s Note: This was a special Chapter requested to see what would have happened if Roxy didn’t listen to the threat of the system, and got the penalty, what would have happened if she had simply rejected the quest?
Roxy’s lungs were burning. The sound of hooves thundering behind her was getting louder.
She dove into the dark mouth of the cave, skidding on the dirt. She scrambled back, grabbing a rock, ready to fight the massive, tusked wild boar that had been chasing her through the forest.
The boar stopped at the entrance. It sniffed the air, whined in terror, and bolted.
Roxy collapsed, gasping. "Safe. I’m safe."
[Welcome to the Beast World!]
[Main Quest: Survival of the Fittest.]
[Target: The Sleeping Alpha.]
[Objective: Conceive a child.]
[Time Limit: 8 Hours.]
What do you fucking mean by conceiving a child? I am literally the only one here.
[HOST A TARGET IS INSIDE THE CAVE.]
She turned around, stood up, and started venturing into the cave. She thought she would find another human like that, her heart racing in excitement, thinking it’s going to be a pretty boy.
Only for her smile to drop.
Lying in the darkness, illuminated by the glowing stones scattered around, was a dragon. A massive, obsidian-scaled beast, curled up in a deep, rumbling slumber.
The blue screen popped up, hovering right in front of her nose.
[Step 1: Arouse the target manually.]
Roxy stared at the screen. Then, at the sleeping monster.
"Arouse him... manually?" she whispered, horrified. "You want me to give a dragon a handjob? Are you fucking insane?"
She gawked at the massive beast, this massive beast would likely see her like an ant and squash her within seconds.
"No," she said firmly. "Absolutely not. I am not touching that thing’s... equipment. I’d rather take my chances with the pig."
She turned around and marched back to the cave entrance.
"I’m leaving!" she shouted at the empty air.
She stepped out into the sunlight.
The wild boar hadn’t left. It was hiding in the bush. It charged instantly, its tusk piercing her chest before she could even scream.
[QUEST FAILED.]
[Reason: Gored by Wild Boar.]
[Resetting...]
Roxy gasped, jerking awake. She was back in the cave entrance. The sound of the boar faded into the distance. The dragon was sleeping behind her.
[Step 1: Arouse the target manually.]
"Okay," Roxy panted, touching her chest. "Okay. No pig. Pig is bad."
She looked at the dragon. He was asleep. Deeply asleep.
"I’ll just wait," she whispered. "I’m not touching him. I’ll just hide in the corner until the timer runs out. Maybe he’ll wake up and be nice."
She crept to the far corner of the cave, hiding behind a stalagmite. She sat there for hours, ignoring the System’s flashing red warnings.
[Time Limit Approaching.]
Suddenly, the dragon stirred. His eyes snapped open, vertical, glowing golden slits. He wasn’t aroused. He was hungry. And he smelled a human.
He didn’t roar. He just opened his massive maw and inhaled.
A stream of fire engulfed the corner where Roxy was hiding.
"Wait, let’s tal—"
WHOOSH.
[QUEST FAILED.]
[Reason: Incinerated by Waking Dragon.]
[Resetting...]

Roxy woke up, extremely tired and aching all over; she looked like burnt bread.
"Okay," she gritted out. "Okay. No running. No waiting."
She walked up to the sleeping dragon. He was huge. His scales were like armor.
[Step 1: Arouse the target manually.]
"Fine!" she hissed. "I’ll touch him! But I’m not doing... that."
She reached out and poked the dragon’s side. Then she tried to shake his shoulder.
"Hey," she whispered. "Wake up. We need to... You know."
The dragon woke up. He was startled. He felt something small touching him. Instinct took over.
He thrashed. His massive tail whipped around with the speed of a whip-crack.
It hit Roxy squarely in the ribs. She flew across the cave and splattered against the wall like a bug on a windshield.
[QUEST FAILED.]
[Reason: Blunt Force Trauma. (Target was not sedated).]
[Resetting...]
***
Roxy woke up. She was crying now. She would prefer earth a thousand times over than to be trapped in a fucking loop that doesn’t have an end.
"I hate this," she sobbed.
She walked up to the dragon. She looked at the screen.
[Item Provided: Potent Sleep/Aphrodisiac Vial.]
[Instruction: Apply after arousal to induce a deep mating trance.]
"Okay," Roxy sniffled. "I have the vial. I have the hand. I can do this."
But he was in his huge dragon form, so how was this going to work? She reached out and poked him, and he immediately shrank back to human size, looking exceptionally beautiful. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
She gulped and then reached out again, squeezing her eyes shut. She found the... part.
"Oh god, it’s huge," she whimpered. She started the manual work.
The dragon groaned in his sleep. His breathing hitched.
[Target Aroused. Apply Vial NOW.]
Roxy fumbled in her pocket. Her hands were shaking. She dropped the vial. The glass shattered on the stone floor. The purple liquid seeped into the dirt.
The dragon, now fully aroused but not sedated, woke up. He was confused, horny, and aggressive. He lunged at her, shifting into his dragon form, not with gentle instinct, but with chaotic beast rage.
"Wait! I dropped it! Time out!"
He didn’t listen.
[QUEST FAILED.]
[Reason: Mailed by non-sedated Target.]
[Resetting...]

Roxy woke up. She stood up. She cracked her neck. She looked at the pig running away outside. She looked at the sleeping dragon.
She was done. She was so done.
She marched up to the dragon Zarek. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t cry. She looked at the massive, terrifying beast with the look of a woman who had a job to do and a deadline to meet.
[Step 1: Arouse the target manually.]
"Yeah, yeah, shut up," Roxy muttered.
She grabbed the dragon. She went to work with the efficiency of a mechanic changing a tire.
The dragon groaned, his body tensing in his sleep.
[Target Aroused. Apply Vial NOW.]
Roxy snatched the vial from her inventory. She popped the cork with her teeth and spit it out.
"Drink up, big boy," she whispered, pouring the shimmering liquid into his mouth with steady hands.
The dragon swallowed. His breathing deepened. His muscles relaxed, but the... readiness remained. He slipped into the deep, magically induced mating trance.
Roxy wiped her hands on her jeans. She climbed on top of him.
"Alright," she said, looking at the ceiling of the cave. "Let’s make a baby and get out of this death trap."
A/N: LMAO It didn’t go in the sequence it’s meant, but I just had to because it was so funny.
