”Hmm… I got a nice buff in my stats… Eh? What is this new ”Blood Strength”?”

[Blood Strength: Determines the strength, density, and mutation of your blood. Affects blood-related skills, class choices, your offspringʼs power, and your overall evolution tree. Consume stronger beings blood to increase its maximum value]

[Your overall Blood Strength is lacking, consume strong beings to increase it]

”I get it now… Interesting, I wonder how much I can mutate my blood, will I become a horrible abomination or something?”

Noticing that Zehe was already dressed, we went to the dining room together. Even though we spent some hours on the bed, it was still relatively early.

When I entered the dining room, every servant there stopped doing whatever they were doing and stared at me blankly.

”…”

”…”

”Ma…Master Kireina?”

Wagyu was the first one to speak.

”Master Kireina, you have finally evolved! Such beauty! Such grace! Incredible! Expected from our Master! You resemble a divine being! A legendary fairy! Words cannot describe your beauty!”

”Now now… Relax a li-”

The rest of my servants, from monkeys to spiders to wolves yelled in agreement!

”GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH! MASTER KIREINA!”

”MASTER KIREINA!!!”

”SHE HAS GRACED US WITH HER BEAUTY!”

”SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXISTENCE!”

”SHE IS OUR EMPRESS! OUR EMPRESS!”

”SHES SUCH A BABE!”

”Eeeh?! Who said I was a babe?! H-Hey! Let me go!”

All my servants came close to me and carried me over their heads while revering my existence while kneeling.

”Master! Our Empress!”

”Our Empress! I hope you can bless us with your grace every day!”

”Whatʼs going on?! Why did they go so crazy?!”

My mind inside my body tried to find an answer.

”Obviously because of our new beauty!”

”There could be something else… Your Demonʼs Curse, after becoming humanoid… Has been activated completely…”

”It must be your charming effect from ”Queen of the Succubus”…”

”Haaahhh… No way… Was this why Zehe was so lustful too?”

”Could be, but perhaps Zehe was always a degenerate deep inside”

I tried to calm down my crazy servants but it was too hard. The weaker servants were the most susceptible to my charm effect, while the strongest evolved ones were not as crazy.

Zehe quickly used her new authority to calm down the rest of the servants and to let me some space to breathe.

”W-We are sorry, Lady Zehe”

”Lady Zehe, Master Kireina, please forgive our rudeness”

Zehe laughed at accepted everyoneʼs apologies.

”Fufufu, it is fine. My beloved Kireina has become so beautiful itʼs obvious that everyone would become crazy around her. I could not contain my-”

I quickly shut Zeheʼs mouth with my hand before she said anything more embarrassing!

”S-Shut up! A-Anyways, letʼs eat for now guys”

”Yes, Master!”

Rimuru and the Slime Family wanted to accompany Zehe and me in our breakfast so they joined, they were also impressed by my new looks, but it seems that they were always obsessed with me, so they werenʼt as crazy, probably because they were always crazy with me.

Because Slimes are quite simple-minded, they mostly talked about skills and classes and asked me which class I obtained.

”High Troll Warrior, guuu?”

”Yes, you see, because I drank the Troll Emperor blood, my blood evolved and became of Ancient Troll type, increasing my stats gains and giving me the Troll classesʼ tree”

Milim was impressed.

”I see! Thatʼs kind of a cheat, Master!”

”Yes, I also want a class!”

”When are we getting a class?”

”I want one!”

”M-Me too, I want to be part of your main party, Master”

”Raawr! Me too! I want to slap some foes!”

”I am going to protect you with my armor, Master!”

The cuteness of my Slimes overwhelmed me, they have grown so much and there are so many now, and I can barely give enough love to each one.

After having a quick breakfast consisting of my favorite Mixed Meat Cheeseburger and some warm Rabbit Milk, I called my servants for the usual training.

Meiji had already had breakfast with his spirits (with Nereid there too) and quickly came to the Training Grounds with the little squad.

I summoned Kjata to start his training; his flames were quite a bit bigger today. Perhaps, he was also surprised by my evolution.

The Wyverns greeted me and congratulated me on my evolution, praising my new strength instead of my beauty.

I also brought the Troll Undead who already evolved once again this night into High Troll Wights and some obtained different skills, having a promising future as Undead Mages instead, while others kept their Warrior capability and obtained a series of attacking and boosting moves.

I was able to leave them training overnight in the large room where they rest because undead does not get tired, I left them killing mobs every night.

Celica and Truhan told me that they were close to evolution, and after asking, the same was for Zehe, I wonder what she will evolve into?

While having a chat with Zehe, I remembered about the Kingdom System Sub Governor.

”Sub Governor?”

”Yeah, you will become an official sub governor now, because well… you are my lover and all that…”

Zehe blushed at my response.

”I-I see… I will do my best on taking care of our Kingdom, my beloved Kireina”

”Hmm! Iʼm counting on you!”

[You have selected High Troll Witch Empress: Zehe as your first Sub Governor]

[Your affinity with High Troll Witch Empress: Zehe has increased]

[Your bond with High Troll Witch Empress Zehe is strong]

[You can now share your strength between you and Zehe]

[Skills can also be given to a lover, with a limit of 5]

”Eeh?! Did you see that Zehe?”

”Y-Yes, Master… Skills? And we can share our power?”

”Hmmm, what should I gift Zehe… Which skill do you want?”

”E-Eh? B-But Master these are your strength, I canʼt possibly just take them away from you”

”I have too many, choose whatever you want, I donʼt mind”

”B-But… I… Well… I will only choose one for now…”

”Sure, here, take a look”

I opened my Massive Skill Window and showed it to Zehe, she was impressed by the amazing quantity.

”Well… Uhm… This!”

Zehe chooses [Crimson Demonic Vampire Empress Ice and Thunder Catastrophe] and I give to her [Armor Magic: Shadow Vampire Empress Regenerative Thunderous Coat] because I am worried about her fragile body, I still had my other armor skill, so it was fine.

”Good choice Zehe”

”Master is it okay to have this armor skill too? It seems very strong!”

”Itʼs okay, I am worried about your low defenses, this will compensate it”

”Kireina… Thanks”

I decided not to take any of Zehe skills because she had too few, she also told me that she had fused some skills with Synthesis, but the results were completely different than my skills, perhaps each being has unique skill fusion results.

Now that Zehe possesses a strong area-of-effect offensive magic spell and a good defensive buff, I felt more relieved about her lack of combat power.

”I understand that your Witch class is more of a supportive role, but being an all-rounder is better at the end of the day, being able to adapt to any situation in battle is essential”

”I understand”

”For example, what would happen if you were cornered and your magic was sealed somehow? You must have physical attacks and body reinforcement skills to fight your way out”

”I do have some physical attacks and body reinforcement skills from the bodies I have eaten, but I have not tried them… Should I fuse them?”

”Yeah, usually the best path would be to concentrate every attacking skill on one or two skills, the power of the skill will end up exponentially stronger, stacking up every effect that the other skills had too, like my Cursed Claws, which can inflict around 5 status ailments, Poison, Paralyze, Burn, Curse and even Freeze for some time.”

Zehe looked me with a surprised and determined gaze.

”Oooh! I see how is it!”

”Yeah… Combining body reinforcement buffs is also a good thing, as every buff will stack and stay longer, but make sure to differentiate between them, like what defensive and physical buffs go well together. However, the speed and magic ones donʼt combine well with them, but sometimes you can still fuse speed with defense and offense if the skills are advanced enough”

”I see, so there are even rules around fusing skills?”

”I donʼt really know if they are exact rules, but thatʼs what I have figured out, however, there are exceptions”

”Oh?”

”Sometimes, fusing completely different types of skills between them can form completely new skills, which maybe wonʼt even relate to the fused ones, like I once did, when I fused different River Walking Fish skills and then the Water Being summoning spell, giving me the power to summon Nereid.”

”I see, so sometimes fusing skills wonʼt just give upgrades, but it can also cause you to generate new skills completely”

”Exactly, you are very smart. Couldnʼt expect less from my beloved wife”

”A-Ah! T-Thanks!”

After having a little chat over skill fusions, we decided to start our training.

I summoned 900 Demonic Beings, this time no new variant came out.

In the distance, Nesiphae was training with her big armor on and noticed Kireina and Zehe speaking very lively.

”Sigh… Master Kireina, I also want to be like Zehe… Should I talk with her? I hope Zehe is not a jealous woman… If not, maybe she would not mind sharing Master with me… Alright, Iʼll give it a try!”

Filled with determination, Nesiphae moved closer to Kireina and Zehe.

”Hi Master, I congratulate you on your new evolution… I canʼt believe how beautiful you are now, you are indeed a spectacle to see”

”E-Eeeh? Nesi! T-Thanks, but itʼs nothing”

Zehe seemed not to mind Nesiphae.

”Oh? (She does not mind me?)”

However, inside Zeheʼs head, she had different thoughts, contradicting her warm smile and friendly demeanor.

”(Why did this giant snake come here? What does she want with my Kireina?! I am not going to share her with anyone!)”

A possessive wife!

After Nesiphae came, I ended up training with both, they were all friendly with each other, but I noticed as if something was going on between the two, even though I could not tell exactly what it was.

Using my 8 Senses skill, I noticed how both of these girls auras were completely furious and fighting each other! Like two ferocious dragons!

Clash! Clash!

”W-What?! (Why are they auras fighting each other? Are they competing for my attention?)”

”Master?”

”Dear Kireina?”

”Ah! N-Nothing… Donʼt mind me, it still hard to accommodate to my body”

”I-I see, perhaps, a good massage after the training would alleviate you, Master? I recently got a skill that produces a slimy substance which can alleviate the muscles tension, we could try it”

”Oh? R-Really? Sure…”

After hearing this, Zehe eyes became red-colored, as if a dormant demon awakened inside her!

”D-Dear Kireina, I can do that too, we can have all the messages you want in OUR room…”

”E-Ehh? Okay… You two can help me out if you want”

Zehe became a little bit shocked.

”U-Us two? W-With miss Nesiphae?”

Nesiphae smiled with lust, happy with this outcome.

”Sure, Master… I donʼt mind Lady Zeheʼs help; she is your wife after all”

Zehe forced a smile.

”Yeah! Itʼs fine… (I wonʼt lose to you! You gigantic snake!)”

While slaying mobs, I noticed how their auras intensified even more.

”Sigh… What I am going to do with these girls…”

”I canʼt wait to touch and feel Master new body, while I massage your delicate muscles, fufufu”

”I canʼt wait either! My dear Kireinaʼs body is truly blissful!”

”… (Is Nesiphae a degenerate too? Well, she was also alone her entire life; probably want to try new things…)”

”Sigh, very well, for now, you two should get along better… I feel quite some conflict…”

Nesiphae and Zehe were surprised!

”E-Eh?! H-How could you… N-No Master, itʼs a misunderstanding!”

”Y-Yeah, dear Kireina, how could I… be conflictive with a member of our beloved family!”

”Just get along well, perhaps you two have more in common than you think….”

”Eh? (With this snake?!)”

”Y-You think so? (Perhaps Zehe is not as I think she is… Maybe she could even be my partner too. Oooh! She is very attractive too now that I see her up close)”

Suddenly, Nesiphae gives Zehe a warm smile, while winking one of her beautiful crimson eyes.

Zehe blushed at this, surprised by the change in Nesiphae nature.

”Ah! Y-Yeah… (D-Did she winked at me? Her attitude changed quite drastically, this Lamia must have a very lustful mind)”

”Hmm! I am glad you two understand! Now, letʼs work hard together, I want you two to evolve too and become stronger”

”Yes!”

”Very well”

We passed the last hours killing mobs while talking, I think I did well in being direct, both of them have become more friendly with each other and the strong aura has lowered down.

[Youʼve gained 29564 EXP] [The rest Of your servants gained tons of EXP]

[Youʼve gained three levels!] [LEVEL 4/50

EXP 3763/8800]

[The rest of your servants gained tons of levels!]

”Phew… Itʼs kind of boring to do this repetitive task so much… I wish I could explore the rest of the forest, but thanks to this stupid mage army, we must stay aware at any moment”

Just, as usual, the kitchen assistants brought us some food and cold beer.

Zehe was very lovely to me, trying to feed me while warmly looking at me.

”Here, dear. Say ”aaaa”…”

”Z-Zehe there is no need to feed me, I can do it myself…”

”B-But isnʼt this what love partners do? T-They did all the time on my Troll family!”

In the distance, Truhan and Celica looked at me and moved their heads in the negation of this statement! Trolls donʼt feed their love partners like this!

”Sigh… Okay… Just this once”

I gently received the food from Zeheʼs spoon. While my small and cute cheeks chewed the food, I blushed a little, making Zehe fascinated with my cuteness.

”Aaah~ Dear Kireina, you are so adorable! Here, I want to feed you forever!”

Zehe quickly took another spoon of food, which contained colorful boiled grains, which resembled the rice of Earth, but these had a sweet flavor. There were also salted vegetables with meatballs.

[Boiled Forest Grains with Salted Vegetables and Icy Storm Bird Meatballs: A delicious preparations consisting of everything anyone needs to start a day, full of proteins and vitamins! Effects: Grants +3 to every stat for 24 hours. Recovers 60 MP and 90 Stamina]

Even Nesiphae wouldnʼt do this, as she looked at this embarrassing scene from my left side.

”Ahh… (I want to do this!!! I envy you so much, Lady Zehe!!!)”

After finishing the meal, Zehe and Nesiphae offered me the massages from earlier, but I told them to save that when itʼs night time, and that we should use every second of the day training.

Like their Master, they understood and didnʼt try to convince me.

I quickly summoned 900 more Demonic Beings and continued the training.

While killing mobs, I noticed how I got Skill Points, it seems that I can get one point each level; now that I gained 3 levels I have 3 points… I canʼt exchange them for anything yet…

”Especially the High Troll Warrior class has amazing skills but very costly… Well, they are worth the wait”

Afterward, my Lazy Mind reminded me of my new Blood Servant Summon skill, so I stopped for a little while and tried it out; I always like to try out new skills.

[Advanced Blood Control: Summon Blood Servant: Knight, Mage, and Archer: Using your mastery over the Dark Arts and the Blood Arts inherent from Vampires, you can summon a powerful blood servant. You must first choose a class. The Servant can level up alongside its Master and even evolve. Every servant is born with 50% of your stats as base stats. Cost: 190 MP]

”190 MP?! Thatʼs a lot! Well, just for once, I will choose… Archer sounds fun”

”Summon Blood Servant: Archer!”

Flash!

Just after casting the spell, I felt a huge amount of my MP being sucked out of my body, and out of thin air, a big sphere of blood appeared before me. Me big blood sphere started to expand itself, creating two pairs of limbs and butterfly wings on its back, it looked almost like me, but made completely out of blood, in its left hand, a longbow was created with blood too.

”Master, I await your command”

”Oh? Are you like a robot too?”

”… R-Robot? Master excuse my rudeness but what do you mean?”

”You are not!”

My blood servant/or clone looked at me with surprise, confused by my weird behavior.

”M-Master, are you okay?”

After a little testing, it seems like blood servants are actually my clones and each clone develops a mind of its own created by the system, they share some of my information and memories too, they reminded me of my split minds from Brain Share, but a bit less complex.

Amazed by such discovery, I named this blood servant Clumsy, adding her to my Minions.

[You have obtained a new Minion! 18/70]

”Thank you very much for my name, Master”

”Hahaha, you are like one of my split minds, but clumsier, do you like your name?”

”I-I canʼt really say that I love it but I accept it, Master”

Nesiphae and Zehe were on my side while I did all of this, and were enamored by my little blood clone.

”M-Master it really looks like you, she is so cute!”

”Can I touch you, Clumsy?”

”E-Eh? Y-Yeah”

Zehe touched Clumsy but to her surprise, the clone was just blood after all, and it did not feel like a normal solid body.

”Sigh… You are just blood”

”Yes, I am a Blood Servant… Is that hard to understand?”

”Clumsy, donʼt mind them… You can start training around here, slay those mobs for now”

”Understood”

[NAME: Clumsy

[CLASS: Novice Archer

[RACE: High Blood Servant (Archer)

[LEVEL: 1/40 EXP: 0000/3500 STATUS: Fine

[HP: 93/93 MP: 126/126 STAMINA: 80/130

[STRENGTH: 70

[DEFENCE: 72

[MAGIC: 127

[RESISTANCE: 71

[SPEED: 77

[CHARISMA: 36

[LUCK: 0

[BLOOD STRENGTH: 16

After I confirmed the servantʼs stats while it trained, I confirmed that it was true, it was born with half my maximum stats just as the base, thatʼs an insane start.

”Now imagine when I get stronger, the new servants I summon will become even stronger. However, the amount of MP needed is indeed demanding, and I donʼt feel that using MP Share or MP Potions to spam this and replace my servants with these would be good, after all, they are still just made of blood and arenʼt living beings.”

Living beings will always have better evolution choices and growth potential than a summoned servant, itʼs something I have understood since long ago, as Rimuru and the Slime Family, even doing their best, cannot catch up with others like Wagyu or Kekensha. I still love each of my beautiful Slimes, but I need to figure out a way to make them level up faster, even more, EXP bonus or extra training overnight could help. Thankfully, my blessings let them compensate for their poor stats with strong and varied skills.

Undeads are an exception because these are using the bodies of former living beings, which can evolve into a new evolution tree and can level up faster too.

”Undead are quite good, but the lack of common sense makes them just mindless soldiers, I wonder if there could be a way to raise an undead with common sense or even a soul, maybe implanting a split mind into one? How could that work? Wait… That is quite a genius idea! What the heck? I should try this out at another time, sadly. We must train now”

After checking on Clumsyʼs training, I continued my own in the company of Zehe and Nesiphae.

After having a good time talking while training, night had already fallen, and the last mob was slain.

[Youʼve gained 27834 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP]

[Youʼve gained three levels!] [Level 7/50

EXP 4897/9100]

[The rest of your servants gained tons of levels!]

”As I level up and evolve, the amount of EXP needed increases exponentially, I still managed to get 6 levels today, but it will get harder and harder with just this training, I will have to venture outside to train my levels when I canʼt get enough EXP here, just killing what I summon wonʼt do”

I looked at my servants celebrating their good harvest of levels.

”For the time being, we are in a stable increase of strength, but I feel that we will get stuck very soon, I will need to figure out a way to power train them even more. Perhaps, create big groups and send them far away in the forest, so they explore and at the same time fight strong enemies?”

”Even more, because of the System direct message interface, I can easily monitor their exploration, sounds good. This reminds me of when I did it with the monkeys and wolves, but at that time, they explored very close from here. This new plan will go around the entire Grand Forest, and perhaps, even farther away”

Suddenly, I noticed something crucial!

”Lately I have been having very good plans and have been thinking a lot, this did not happen when I was a butterfly, is this humanoid bodyʼs brain what is causing my thought process to be faster? Fascinating, maybe this time I wonʼt need to leave every war plan to the monkeys, and even design things for my castle myself…”

From my back, Zeheʼs voice called for me.

”Honey, letʼs go eat”

”H-Honey?!”

”A-Ah! T-Thatʼs how Trolls call their lovers!”

”R-Really? I will need to confirm all these Troll customs with Truhan and Celica… Well, itʼs not like I donʼt like that you call me Honey or anything…”

”S-So you like it…!”

Zehe grabbed my arm while giving me a cute smile.

”Sigh… M-Maybe… (Ugh, she is giving me that beautiful smile of hers again)”

Nesiphae was already inside the dining room eating loads of food, as her size needed big quantities of protein, vitamins, and calories.

Rimuru and its Slime Family also followed me and we sat at the same table as Nesiphae, we had a nice and comforting meal.

I used this opportunity to talk with the Slime Family about the new training regime I planned. They all seemed to agree.

I think I already knew, but they told me that Slimes donʼt really need to rest, and just by consuming food can regain energy easily, compensating the sleep lost.

After having a nice dinner, while Zehe and Nesiphae were drunk. I went with the Slime Family to a special room where I leave the Undeads to train overnight and did the same with them now.

Using MP Share with all the Slimes, I summoned 1100 Demonic Beings, without a new special variant.

”This should do it for you guys, work hard, and see ya for breakfast”

”Guuu! Thank you very much, Master! We will become super strong with this! We wonʼt lose to those undead, guuuu!”

I made sure to leave a lot of food with them and went to the dining room looking for Zehe and Nesiphae.

However, in the dining room, there were only the Spider Maids cleaning the tables, they told me that the two girls went to my room.

”Ugh… What are they planning now?”

I quickly flew to my room and found the two girls on my bed, thanks to the bed being quite massive in size, Nesiphae fit just fine.

The two were completely drunk and touching, kissing, and licking each other bodies with passion.

”Mmmhh~! Ahh~! Zehe… Not my breast~! Ah!”

”Such big breast~ Amnh~!”

”Kyaah~”

I was completely shocked by such an erotic scene between two girls!

”…”

The two were quite engaged in their sexual play but noticed me in time while I was trying to slowly run away.

”Master! You are here! W-We have been waiting for you!”

”Honey, come! Embrace me!”

”I-Itʼs time for your message, no running away~”

Nesiphae extended her big snake tail and tightly grabbed me!

”Gyyahh! N-No! Let me go! (Did Zehe, in her drunkenness, invite Nesiphae here?!)”

Nesiphae put me on the bed and Zehe started to take off my clothes, and the two started to touch my petite and cute body!

”Guaaahh! T-This is too much! I donʼt think I can handle you two! Let me go! Please!”

”No is no! Fufufu”

Nesiphae extended her long and thick Lamia tongue and started to lick my entire body, it felt extremely weird, as if I was going to be eaten, it somehow made me feel extremely vulnerable!

”Gyyyyhhh~! N-Noo!”

”Relax, Honey, here you can have your wifeʼs breasts”

Zehe quickly moved her breast into my face, forcing me to suck them!

”Ghh! (T-This is not so bad, itʼs Zehe after all, but Nesiphae is too much! Her tongue reminds me of those tentacle Japanese adult movies! I donʼt like where this is going!!!)”

Like this, my second sexual experience in this world was with two extremely lustful girls, one being a gigantic Lamia and the other a degenerate Troll woman, enchanted by my female body, and probably my Demon Curse effect…
