Fallen Chronicles

A huge thank you for the 3,000 Powerstones (つ ͡ᵔ ▾ ͡ᵔ )つ. As promised, I'll publish an extra chapter for every 500+ Powerstones, so get ready for 6 chapters tomorrow 

-Sin City.

-Demon Queen's Tower.

-City Lord's Bedroom.

This place, in the recent 261st [Sin City Public Opinion] survey held by the council, won an overwhelming victory with a 97% voting rate, becoming the 262-time winning champion for the [Place Most Wanted to Visit] by the citizens of Sin City.

But the truth is…

No outsider has ever set foot in this room until now.

It's probably for the best that the city lord's fervent fans haven't been able to enter. Even just opening the door might have broken their hearts.

Because

The walls of this bedroom, reminiscent of a princess's room in a castle, are covered with wallpaper.

Portraits.

There are thoughtful ones, battle poses, lying down, standing, various poses, even cute chibi versions.

The common feature is that all these portraits depict only one person.

The style is very simple.

Even the face is not visible.

Only the cloak, like ashes covering the body after a fire has burnt out, shrouding the entire figure in shadows.

That's all.

There is nothing ostentatious, very understated.

People in this era probably wouldn't recognize it, might even think it's a weirdo, but this image was unmistakable to anyone from the wastelands five hundred years ago.

Because it's

Ashen!

These "Emperor Ashen" wallpapers are just appetizers. The rest of the furniture in the master bedroom also features stickers of him.

From the large sofa covers to the bedding, wardrobe doors, and tabletops, everything was covered in Ashen-themed stickers.

Even the small items like water cups, slippers, hangers, and towels.

It could be said that everything in the entire bedroom was designed in a complete "Emperor Ashen-themed" style.

Currently, sitting on the rose-colored bed, the patterns on the bedspread happened to resemble the body parts of her beloved emperor. Lena looked toward the teleportation array with a nervous yet eager gaze.

She had Ashen pillows in her embrace, one on the left and one on the right. At the head and foot of the bed, there were also plushie dolls her beloved Ashen.

If it weren't for the horns on her head and the swaying tail behind her, with a heart-shaped tip that was constantly fluttering, these classic symbols indicated her succubus identity. Otherwise, Lena, in this scene, would appear more like a princess in love, waiting for her prince to return.

Speaking of which, Lena's identity was indeed the princess of the succubi.

Finally!

The teleportation array flickered, and in Lena's red pupils, heart-shaped patterns faintly appeared, one of the classic signs when a succubus began to go into heat.

After the light subsided...

The expected figure still didn't appear.

There was only a black and gold envelope floating over.

Lena, still harboring a glimmer of hope, opens the envelope. After reading the memories of Clausius and the cat girl, she collapses into disappointment. She buries her face in an Ashen-shaped pillow, twisting back and forth like a princess in a tantrum, deprived of her beloved toy.

However, Lena quickly recovers her composure. She is not a succubus who gets upset that easly.

"Well as expected of My Beloved Ashen, he didn't fall for my little trick"

Lena's real goal, in fact, had already been achieved. She picks up a script from her bedside table.

Yes.

As the CEO of "Sin City Film Industry," Lena has been involved in many film projects. Art imitates life, and in the past five hundred years, Lena, who never entered "self-sleep" has been busy planning her five-part series.

The films planned by Lena are titled "The Fallen Nun," "The Conquered Empress," "Can Replicants Dream of Electric Sheep?" "The Slaying of the Proud Elven Knightess" and finally, "Succubus's Great Victory!"

Beside Lena's bed, there's a chessboard.

The pieces on the board include one resembling a nun, which has already been toppled. Next to the mechanical piece, a new, smaller mechanical piece has been added. The elven piece stands at the forefront, followed by numerous "grey" and "badly damaged" inferior pieces. The "queen" piece, on the other hand, is opposite the elven piece, surrounded and protected by layers of shiny "soldier" pieces. But now...

Lena picks up the only black chess piece on the board, which has "captured" the nun piece, and places it opposite the queen and her soldiers.

"Go for it, My Lord! Give that stuck-up dragoness Nova, who always wears a cold face and thinks so highly of herself, a good Punishment~! Come on~!!"

Sitting on the bed, Lena vigorously waved her pink fists.

"Since My Lord is already taking action"

"I must not lag behind…"

"Especially for the final part of my five-part series."

Through the memories in the envelope, Lena finally sees Ashen's true face hidden beneath the cloak.

"Kyaaa, So handsome~ 💕!"

Her heart-shaped tail curls up again, her body instinctively starts to get wet, and Lena swallows several times,

"gulp gulp."

But soon Lena's pink-haired head shook non-stop, she was not a nymphomaniac succubus!

As the princess of the succubi, Lena vowed from a young age to be different. She aims to lead the succubi on a new path and change the stereotypical image of succubi in the eyes of the world.

To establish new norms, she must lead by example. Lena was almost successful until she met Ashen.

Lena doesn't want to recall miserable experiences from her past.

Her self-proclaimed rationality was utterly useless in front of Ashen. Ashen's shameless and lascivious demeanor made Lena furious. She had thought that during the five hundred years of Ashen's absence, she had been undergoing "special training" and preparing for " The Great Victory" But now, when she finally faced her real Master…, she...

'No, it must be because I hadn't yet adapted to Master's current appearance. Yes, that must be it!'

'So, my special training had to change too!'

'I have to overcome this desire!'

'And the best way to overcome desire is to face it!'

Ding-ling-ling*

Lena rang the bell on the bedside table, and soon, the sound of knocking on the door echoed. Three female succubi entered the room. No "humans" could enter the City Lord's Chamber, but female succubi were an exception.

"Go and update all the decorations in half of the room according to this" Lena handed a panoramic 360-degree photo taken by Renji to one of the succubi she had summoned.

The reason for updating only half of the room was not because she was reluctant to do so. Updating the room's theme was part of her "special training" By seeing her Master every day and forming aesthetic fatigue, she could gradually lose interest and make it a routine.

'The next step of the advanced "special training" would require external aids'

Lena opened her treasure chest.

Inside were various tools for her special training.

Like the [Gentle Stream 'Ashen' Model I], [Mighty 'Ashen' Model II], [Earth-Shaking 'Ashen' Model III], [Harmonious 'Ashen' Model IV], [Majestic 'Ashen' Model V].

Good movies required rehearsals.

Lena had called three female succubi in total, and one had already left, leaving two.

Tonight, as a celebration...

"Let's rehearse [The Fallen Nun,] [The Conquered Empress,] and [Succubus's Great Victory!]!"

Under Lena's guidance, the three succubi began to release illusionary mist, a unique ability of succubi that allowed them to mimic a template and transform into someone else's appearance.

As she looked at the figures before her, resembling Suthia and Nova, Lena carried her beloved treasure chest and hummed a tune as she approached them step by step.

'Firstly first, let's set a small goal'

'To be the Queen of My Lord's upcoming harem~…!'
