It has been 3 weeks already since Irene's return. Seeing time goes by this quickly, Irya and I began doing overtime on the clan ceremony as I hoped to complete it before my resurrection skill was ready to be used again. Working on this was almost the only thing I had time for, forcing me to neglect everything else since the time was soon to be due. The resurrection was possibly an amazing money maker so I couldn't afford to waste a single day of it's use.

After gathering some information online, my plan was quite simple and very smart. The king of an elven kingdom had lost his queen recently. The entire country was mourning the lost of their beloved queen and the king was said to be highly saddened.

I don't know about anyone else but when I think about this, it's seem obvious what I should do. Go to the king, and promise to resurrect his wife in exchange for all the monster cores kept in the royal vault. Heck, if the king loved her enough, I could maybe empty their entire bank.

Added to this I hoped to get a few elves as payment as well. Maybe some prisoners, some slaves or anyone else the kingdom wouldn't mind sending to hel- “vacation” in my sex dungeon... I was also convinced that Damyon would soon make a move and was ready for him as well.

The moment he gets comfortable and goes back to his usual activities is when I will strike out of no where. With that and many other things in mind, we worked tirelessly to complete the clan ceremony. We had gathered a few intelligent-ish creatures and had tested the various stages of the ceremony on them.

Seeing very good results, we pushed forward and finally it was ready for us to use it on ourselves. The Phenacite Mana Stone was full, so we needed to begin as soon as possible. On a different note, Irene was currently in “school” with PigFace and was doing great progress as expected.

With the clan ceremony's bonus points, she would become even more intelligent and I think dragon-hood should be near for her. She was spending most of her time studying and playing with Mendy. When Irene first saw her, she obviously treated her as an enemy but some explaining later the two of them were already very close.

I thought that with her sister and mother constantly sneaking into my room during the night that she would eventually realize something was up but since Irene was quite dense, nothing seemed to be leaked out yet.

Of course there had been a few close call like the time she had a nightmare and tried sneaking into my room only to be met by moaning and the sight of her sister “mounting” me. Irya saying she had had a nightmare as well, it seemed to be enough for her to be fooled.

Of course Irya also explained her current moaning and grinding as “poison resistance training” and Irene didn't seemed to question it. Then there was that time at night when she woke up for a wee and saw our dark cave lit with candles all around the bath.

In the bath was her mother and I doing doggy style but luckily Irene saw us from behind and mistook our current back and forth movement as me vigorously rubbing her mother's back. I must admit, it really must have looked that way for an innocent person such as her.

Anastaria had learned to do it perfectly silently by going into some kind of trance making her look as if she was passed out from pleasure but Irya still moaned like a cat on catnip making it harder to be stealthy about it.

After all, women love anything that involves moaning. Bathum tssss* As for the goblins, things were going smoothly. We had new babies every month and their numbers steadily grew. We now had 15 goblins, 70 Hobgoblins, and 35 ogres from many variant species.

Nargaroth once again was the first to rank up and had reached level 150 already and had ranked up into a race called “True Ogre”. He now had black skin, huge horns reaching the same length as his shoulders, bat wings and was towering at 10 feet tall.

He had muscles and yellow tattoos on every inch of his body. Curious I first had him strip and examined him from all angles which made Anastaria laugh as she watched an ogre blush for the first time which might even be a first in history.

Impressed by him I decided to have him join our clan when the time comes so we were now spending a lot more time together. Him and Mendy spent a lot of time training by fighting each other. Obviously Mendy could have toyed with him but Nargaroth's growth was slowly making him gain ground on her.

Guhuhuhu* Wait till I put a legendary oversized weapon into his hands and he will become a force to be reckoned with.

PigFace was doing amazing as well! Low level goblins and hobgoblins had an incredible growth speed and with her diligently working on getting smarter she had ranked up as well. She now was a “Maid half-lord” which was a unique species. She hadn't received a name which intrigued me on how the system worked when it came to names.

Her new race seemed to be a race aimed at pure magic casting but what surprised me was that after her rank up, the entire cave began sparkling. Yes, sparkling by its cleanliness. Not only that but her meat seasoning abilities had reached new highs.

After she washed my clothes I noticed they had regained a bit of durability. Normally I would have said “impossible!” but in this world everything could be explained by saying MAGIC! Okay okay I keep talking about her new skills but I kept the best for last.

She now was just a bit smaller than me, black eyes, black hair and her skin was now almost the same colour as humans with a subtle green hue to it. She had a beautifully curved body and the biggest breasts I have ever seen in my life if we exclude the fake silicon ones.

She looked almost entirely human and was now as pretty as she was ugly before which for once seemed to seriously make her happy. She didn't say anything and didn't act any differently but since I could hear people's thoughts I managed to hear her celebrate in her head.

She even rejoiced of the fact that her boobs were bigger than even Anastaria which was inappropriate but I deemed that my servant should be allowed freedom of thought unlike certain gods from my old world. Well as light punishment I assigned her with the task of training a new butler to help her.

It was a very serious looking hobgoblin who had attracted my attention. You see, goblins, hobgoblins and ogres hold a tournament every week to establish a hierarchy among themselves and of course Nargaroth was on top of them all by far but a small hobgoblin I named PorkFace had managed to do something that even stomped me.

He challenged a level 77 Ogre and defeated him with difficulty of course but considering their 15 level gap it was definitely remarkable. As a reward he was to be my personal butler and I could already imagine him in a clean cut tuxedo following me around. Of course he needed training but this is where PigFace came into play.

After Pigface's rank up Irene seemed incredibly down and I had to have a discussion with her to make her regain determination. For someone like Irene, it was relatively easy. All I had to say was that dragons were the last rank up while half-lords were still at the beginning of the evolutionary path.

Upon hearing that she was still ahead Irene became a workaholic. So easy to manipulate people when you can hear their thoughts. If I find items giving intelligence bonuses when I go out, I'll buy and bring them to her. I hope it can boost her growth speed even more.

On another note, I had found a new post of the Alterlife forum which peaked my curiosity. It was a list of most basic titles, their bonuses and how to obtain them. Some of the easiest ones were things like “Stone turner” which involved me turning 5000 stone upside down.

Stupidest title but this made me discover something important. After unlocking “Tree puncher” by punching a tree 10000 times I had confirmed that I was allowed to enable only 10 titles. 10 was still a lot but this means that the best titles were a lot more important to get than easy ones.

I should now only go after titles giving better bonuses than the ones I already had. The best one I had was “Divinity” and from my estimate, the clan's title Irya and I were working on could potentially be even better than this one.

Ho! did I mentioned that we found something interesting in the giant lake nearby? I still don't know what it is, but it's big. In the past, Mendy had almost been eaten by whatever was living in it so it was definitely a high level monster.

Mendy doesn't talk much but was still able to tell me “Big. Dangerous. Fish. Live. In. Lake.” When I asked her what it was or what it looked like she only said “Pervert. Groping. Hands.” Immediately I thought, KRAKEN! But weren't krakens confined to salt water?

As far as I know, krakens only exist in the sea so I would need to verify myself to know what it is but right now I don't have time for that. All I did was tell my minio-... servants to stay away from it.

My rare free times were filled with “harem duties” and a small side project. I had finished an arcane circle which I called “Arcane Gatling”. Like the previous ones, I had made it to be linked to my “Bolt” techniques.

It allowed me to transform the “bolt” techniques which are firing 1 powerful attack into a barrage of lower level projectiles at high speed. I tested a few combinations and [LightningBolt + Gatling] seemed extremely promising.

As long as I kept pouring mana into it, projectiles kept firing out at around 10 rounds per second which is almost as fast as an Ak-47. Each projectile lacked power but the sheer amount of them made up for it if I compared mana consumption to the standard single bolts. Single bolts were like sniper rifles while Gatling was like, well a Gatling gun...

4 days later, it was finally time to go through with the clan ceremony. Irya, Irene and Anastaria would have to renounce their “Rokugan Clan member” title as you could only have 1 ceremony title so ours would overwrite their previous one but I was confident that ours would be superior.

Right now we were in the laboratory, standing in a complex ceremony circle engraved into the stone floor. The Phenacite mana stone was in the middle, filled with 10 million mana units. Around it were standing me, Irene, Irya, Anastaria, PigFace, Mendy, Nargaroth.

We were all going to undergo the ceremony together since the mana used wasn't distributed to us but was only used to activate the title giving system. We could have as many people as we could fit in the circle and still have the entire benefit of the 10 million mana units.

The 6 people who were with me were those I judged worthy of being members of my/our clan. I had no intention of doing like the others and restrict it only to dragons. Like all the most powerful nations on earth, what mattered was strength and worthiness.

After having each one of them recite a pledge of allegiance to our clan with the price of death to break it, we were now finally ready to put things into motion. I was about to link the circle to the Phenacite stone, butterflies in my stomach and dry mouth.

“We have ice in our veins, blood in our eyes, hate in our hearts, revenge in mind. Let make the world feel our wrath as we rain fire upon it. Today is the birthday of the 'Vindictae Clan'. May the world mourn this day till the end of times.” (Kneeko)

“Sanguis tuus erit in aeternum.” (Everybody)

“We are now ready my precious friends... Irya, you can begin now.” (Kneeko)
