On the continent of Eos, humans and dark elves had fought for supremacy for over a century.
That was… until a group of renegade warriors entered the war.
They allied themselves with the orcs, seeking to conquer both the human kingdoms and the lands of the elves.
Their leader, Vault, had a twisted ambition—
To create a kingdom of lust, where all women would become nothing more than slaves.
His first target was the castle of the Dark Elf Queen.
The battle ended quickly.
Overwhelming numbers… and the betrayal of the male warriors within the dark elf tribe sealed their fate.
The aftermath was hell.
The ruins were littered with corpses… and violated women.
Now—
The leader of the dark elves, Olga Discordia, and her commander Chloe were imprisoned in the dungeon of their own fallen castle.
"How dare these filthy, disgusting humans lock us up like this?!" Chloe shouted in fury, kicking the iron bars.
Olga, though maintaining a calm expression, felt unease deep inside. Still, she spoke gently:
"Calm yourself. Everything will be fine."
But Chloe refused to settle down.
"They slaughtered our people… and left only us alive. And now we're rotting in this place!"
The dungeon was dark, cold, and foul-smelling.
They were merely waiting.
Waiting to be summoned by the leader of the mercenary group—the Black Hounds.
For the first time, Olga's usually cold and indifferent expression showed hesitation.
She was thinking about the mysterious chat that had appeared in her mind the day before…
A system that claimed it could connect her to people from other worlds.
She had no options left.
They had been betrayed.
Defeated.
And if she did nothing…
They would soon face a fate worse than death.
Footsteps echoed through the dungeon.
A human soldier approached, his gaze falling upon Chloe.
"The commander requires the presence of the Queen's right hand. But don't try anything—you've already killed many of our men. If you resist… you'll pay dearly."
By instinct, Chloe glanced at Olga for guidance.
For a moment, fear flickered in her eyes.
But she quickly steeled herself.
She didn't want to show weakness in front of her queen.
Olga, however, noticed.
And in that instant—
She made her decision.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward.
"Take me as well."
"My—My Queen?!" Chloe exclaimed in shock.
"It's fine, Chloe," Olga said, giving her a reassuring look.
At that moment, she stopped hesitating.
Inside her mind, she typed a message into the mysterious chat—
A desperate plea for help.
The human soldier hesitated.
He had only been ordered to bring Chloe.
But when his gaze fell upon Olga's body…
Lust filled his eyes.
After a brief pause, he clenched his teeth.
"Fine. You're coming too. Your presence will surely please the commander. But don't try anything… or you'll regret it."
"Olga-sama…" Chloe whispered.
Olga bit her lip.
She wasn't sure if this so-called chat was real.
But she chose to gamble on it.
A translucent screen appeared before her—
Visible only to her.
[Olga]: Please… someone save us. A group of mercenaries has captured us. Is there anyone who can help?
…
"Reik, Olga is asking for help!" Miko said in panic.
Even though they had only known each other for a short time, Miko felt uneasy knowing her new acquaintance was in danger.
They had barely talked—just exchanged a few messages and photos.
And yet…
She couldn't ignore it.
Reik leaned forward slightly, holding Jinme-ken in his arms as he stared at the screen.
The ghost girls looked at them in confusion, having no idea what they were talking about.
Reik glanced at them.
After a moment of thought, he decided there was no reason to hide it.
"Well… Miko and I are part of a mysterious chat group that allows us to communicate with people from other worlds," he explained briefly.
"Seriously?"
"That's not fair, I want in too!"
"How enviable…"
The girls quickly began talking among themselves—some fascinated, others clearly jealous.
"Reik… can you help her?" Miko asked.
If it were dangerous, she would never risk him for someone else.
But…
She had seen his strength.
Miko swallowed.
Sometimes, Reik didn't even seem human.
That power…
Her face suddenly flushed as her thoughts drifted elsewhere, her eyes unconsciously lowering toward him—
She quickly looked away.
Reik, however, remained silent.
Instead, he began thinking.
At first, he didn't know who Olga was.
But when Mitsuri discovered the photo-sharing function, everyone had sent pictures.
And the moment he saw Olga—
A beautiful dark elf—
He recognized her immediately.
'A world like that… even if it's… that kind of world… it still has magic.'
'If I go, I'll need to be careful. I don't know if I can resist it… but at the same time, I could learn magic and grow stronger.'
Miko, seeing his silence, panicked slightly.
She quickly tried to persuade him.
"U-Um… why don't you go and save her? You know… the classic hero rescuing a beauty. Don't tell me you're not tempted by a beautiful dark elf?" she said.
Immediately, she regretted it.
'What am I saying?! I'm basically encouraging my boyfriend to cheat!'
"Ohhh~ Miss Miko wants our man to add another interesting member to his harem," Mary-san teased playfully.
"I never thought I'd hear those words from Miko," Hasshaku-sama added with a soft laugh.
Miko turned bright red.
"I-It's not like that! I mean… it's a different world, so it doesn't count, right?!" she stammered.
The room filled with laughter.
Reik smirked.
"Alright. I'll go."
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"It sounds way more interesting to fight enemies from another world than deal with the usual ghosts."
"Really?!" Miko's eyes lit up.
"Of course. I can't disappoint my girlfriend's expectations," Reik said with a teasing smile.
"I have to live up to them… and capture that dark elf you want so badly."
"Y-You—!" Miko stammered.
The laughter only grew louder.
