Where she led us looked like an open balcony, yet not quite. It was surrounded by walls, but these were not typical walls made of conventional materials. Instead, they were crafted from branches. It gave the impression of a room, but the branches didn''t quite resemble solid walls, allowing a view outside and creating the feel of an open balcony.


    What dispelled my notion of it being a balcony was the presence of a bed. Clearly, this was a bedroom. Perhaps Her Majesty''s bedroom, or maybe Artemis''s.


    "Uh, what''s going on with Mother? She seemed really shaken up after you brought up your connection to the name Eir. Do you know something, Leon?" Artemis inquired with concern.


    "Not that I know of," I replied nonchntly, though puzzled. "I only know the name because it''s my sister''sst name. I only discovered I still had blood rtives a few months ago, so I''m clueless about any significance the name Eir might carry."


    "It''s the name of the Great Red," the Queen interjected, her voice carrying the weight of ancient knowledge. "One of the Dragons of Old, a legendary creature from the depths of history. ording to my mother, Artemis''s grandmother, these dragons were instrumental in the creation of our world as we know it today.


    Before their intervention, this was a deste expanse, barren and lifeless, devoid of trees or seas. The Dragons of Old, including the Great Red, transformed it into a thriving habitat. I''ll delve deeper into thister. But first, your name is Leon, correct?"


    "Yes," I replied.


    "I see. Thene sit with me on my bed," the Queen said.


    "M-Mother?!" Artemis eximed.


    "Don''t worry, we''re just going to sit. I don''t have any other furniture, so the bed is the only option. Unless you''d rather discuss this standing?"


    We bothplied and joined her on the bed. The three of us sat down together.


    "Now then, Leon," said the Queen, her eyes gleaming with a majestic emerald hue. "Do you know who Lilith is?"


    "L-Lilith? The Goddess of Subus?" Artemis interrupted, her eyes widening with surprise as she nced back and forth between us. "You know about her, Leon?"


    "Yes," I admitted. "Only her name, though. I''ve encountered her only in one of my dreams..."


    "Artemis, dear, do you have any knowledge of Lilith?"


    "I haven''t seen her myself," Artemis began, her voice tinged with awe and fear. "But Grandmother told me stories. Lilith was a fearsome figure, the very embodiment of destructive power. She could destroy mountains and drain seas with just a snap of her fingers. She could copy any skill, weave threads sharp enough to slice through anything, andpletely nullify her opponents'' abilities.


    Her strength rivaled that of dragons, and she could control life and death itself. She was an unstoppable force, feared by all, even the gods. Grandmother, the strongest among the Elves, barely escaped with her life when she encountered her."


    "That''s right," the Queen affirmed, her tone heavy with the weight of history. "That is the personification of destruction—Lilith, the Goddess of Subus."


    So Lilith was a mythical figure, huh? The personification of destruction, someone even the gods couldn''t handle. Suddenly, I remembered what she said to me in that dream.


    "Just as thou hast saved those women, save me as well, alright?"


    If she was that powerful, why did she ask that of me? And how did she end up inside me?


    But that wasn''t a concern for now. I could delve into thatter.


    "What''s her connection to the name Eir?" I asked Queen Sris.


    The Queen fixed me with a solemn gaze. "Eir is... Lilith herself."


    The revtion struck me with profound surprise. So, she was implying that Lilith, the infamous figure of destruction, was none other than the Great Red, a legendary Dragon of Old.


    "That... is shocking," Artemis gasped, clearly taken aback. "B-But how did the Great Red, Eir, transform into Lilith?"


    "That''s what I''m about to reveal," Queen Sris said with gravitas. "While I don''t have much knowledge of the other Dragons of Old, the Great Red possessed a remarkable ability unique to this world—Reincarnation."


    "Reincarnation?"


    "It''s a skill that allows a soul to transfer into another," Queen Sris exined solemnly. "They can be reborn as apletely different person or any other living being."


    Reincarnation. As I pondered it, I remembered Lilith mentioning that she had reincarnated me herself.


    "The Great Red used this skill to traverse multiple eras," the Queen borated. "Since ancient times, she wandered this world, shape-shifting into various forms. That was the life the Great Red lived, shifting from one existence to another. It continued until her presence vanishedpletely from the world."


    "Vanished? What exactly does that mean?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.


    "The Great Red''s essence,pletely gone from this world," Queen Sris exined with a hint of solemnity. "Normally, those attuned to vast amounts of mana could still detect her presence. But suddenly, that colossal cluster of mana disappeared. It waster revealed that the seven princesses of Hell had defeated her. The reasons behind their conflict remain shrouded in mystery."


    "T-They defeated the Great Red?" Artemis eximed, her eyes wide with disbelief. "How could anyone manage such a feat? The Great Red was a force of nature, an unstoppable torrent of power. To think she could be overpowered..."


    "It''s really hard to wrap my head around. But if those princesses wielded their powers seriously, they could achieve the unimaginable."


    The power of the Great Red remained a mystery to me, having never existed in this world during her reign. Yet, if she yed a pivotal role in shaping the world as it stands, her strength must have been unfathomable. And those seven princesses... if they were the ones who brought down such a formidable entity, they must be formidable themselves. And now, those very princesses were on a hunt for me.


    "Wait, if Lilith possesses the ability to reincarnate herself, why didn''t she use it instead of choosing to disappear?"


    "That''s what I''m going to exin now," said Artemis, her voice steady. "Before she died, Lilith cast an incantation to split herself into parts. I believe she divided herself into five fragments, each containing one of her skills."


    I''m starting to connect the dots now. "Does that mean... I''m linked to those parts?"


    "Yes."


    "I see..."


    "W-Wait, what?! What do you mean, Mother?!" asked Artemis. "L-Leon is... Leon is a part of the Great Red?!"


    "Well, I don''t have definitive proof," said the Queen. "The only clue I have is that he knows the name. But he could have been lying about it. And while I sense the Great Red''s mana flowing through his veins, that alone isn''t conclusive evidence."


    "No, you''re probably right. I''m one of them," I acknowledged. "My skill is solid evidence of that."


    "Oh?" The Queen raised an intrigued eyebrow.


    Artemis had mentioned earlier the array of skills attributed to Lilith: the ability to mimic others'' skills, summon razor-sharp threads, cancel any skill, enhance strength like a dragon, and manipte life and death. ording to the Queen, each of us harbored one of Lilith''s unique abilities.


    Elise wielded Lilith''s Silk, while I possessed the skill to replicate others'' abilities. This revtion also rified Veronica''s role as one of the pieces. Bearing the name Eir, she possessed the formidable skill to nullify and negate others'' abilities.


    "Right," Artemis affirmed. "Leon possesses the ability to copy any skill."


    "So that''s it," mused the Queen. "You''ve inherited that skill."


    The Queen''s eyes bore into me with intense curiosity, as if she were captivated by something she saw. Her expression hinted at a desire that seemed almost predatory.


    "As expected, it seems I was correct," the Queen smiled knowingly. "He''s the man I''ve foreseen in my prophecies."


    "Huh?"


    The Queen fixed her gaze on Artemis.


    "You''ve brought the man who will be our race''s savior, Artemis," the Queen proimed. Then, she turned her attention to me. "Now then, Leon, why don''t you help us repopte?"


    With a sudden andmanding gesture, she pushed me down onto the bed.


    "M-Mother?!"


    "We''ve been waiting! I''ve been waiting for your arrival!"


    Ignoring Artemis''s startled protests, the Queen forcefully straddled me.


    "We are on the brink of extinction," said the Queen. "That''s why we need your help. I need you to impregnate all of us. Starting with me."


    Her hand moved to caress me down there through my pants.


    Wait, were things moving too fast all of a sudden? I wasn''tining, though. In fact, the idea of fucking this MILF Elf queen was definitely appealing to me.


    However, not everyone seemed as eager to proceed.


    "S-Stop!" Artemis intervened, pushing her mother away from me.


    "What are you doing, Artemis? We need to have sex with that man so we can repopte our race," said the Queen urgently.


    "N-No! I can''t let you do that! Not yet!"


    The Queen raised her eyebrows, curiosity evident in her gaze. "Oh, and why is that?"


    Artemis locked eyes with the Queen. "B-Because I haven''t had him yet! I want to be the first elf to have sex with him!"
