In this fantasy world, the life for The Red Mage Leon was not easy, he tried repeteadly to change classes to get rid of what's considered the lowest class. But without any success, his party decided to fire him and replace with a White Mage. However, Leon is told by the Guild Master that being in a party was holding back his true potential, and takes him to a dungeon tower where he clears the first floors. After that he decides to lose his virginity in a local brothel, but while doing the deed with a beautiful woman, a second unknown skill called "Sage Time" activates, greatly increasing his support spells, which he puts to good use with the woman from the brothel. Upon discovering this hidden skill, he decides to keep it a secret, for obvious reasons.

Soon, after deciding to clear the floors of the tower by himself, a dangerous situation occurs and he is suddenly trapped in a safe room with Lydia, a knight adventurer and the beautiful daughter of the Lord of the town. The monsters are waiting outside and the reinforcements won't arrive for a while. Leon, albeit very reluctantly, decides to propose a solution to Lydia, and is to go all the way with her so both can use their most powerful attack and support spells for a limited time...

Without more options, they decide to do it, and then their abilites and powers skyrocket after doing the deed, defeating those powerful monsters and both exiting the dungeon alive. Both Leon and Lydia soon decide to keep this partnership for a while, both deciding to keep clearing floors and to get stronger.


All conditions are fulfilled, Trope time starts now:

  • Amazon Brigade: The group "Blooming Flowers" that only accepts in their ranks, with Rita being the Amazonian Beauty leader of the group.
  • Attempted Rape: Maia, the scout for the all-female group "Blooming Flowers", was almost raped by an adventurer in one of the higher floors after beating her up (along with the threat of leaving her alone with the monsters of the floor) but a high level lizardman killed him before he could do it. And Maia would have been killed too if it wasn't for Rita and her party.
  • The Pornomancer: Leon uses his newfound Sage magic in ways that...likely weren't intended with his partner. For example, he uses Sense Boost, Health Recovery, Cleansing Magic...you get the idea.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Lydia, altough being a little Tsundere at first, gradually becomes more cheerful the more time spends with Leon.
  • Sex Magic: A rare male example. Leon's "Sage Time" is named for the japanese slang of "Kenja Time", or the period in which a man has a "moment of clarity" after masturbating. During Sage Time, Leon's offensive and supportive spells increase exponentially, being able to cast magic equivalent to an advanced class.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Lydia fell in love with Leon after he saved her during their first encounter, despite the fact that she was mocking him at first due to him being a Red Mage. Even after Leon admitted that he also had ulterior motives that time. But Lydia also saw that Leon didn't want to put her or another people in danger and always asked her for her consent before doing the deed.

Trope time is over, Thank you very much.
