[As stated in the synopsis, this is an AU since some things may be different from the original, and this is due to some reasons: to make things go with the plot, no clear information from the original (maybe), and definitely not because the author has forgotten some content and is too lazy to rewatch, reread, or research; yup, definitely not. Well, this is a fanfic, and the moment I decided to put my hands on other stories, they were already an AU and different from the original. Anyway, I still hope you enjoy my work. umu~]

??? POV

'How long has it been now since I became like this?'

'Just how much longer do I need to wait? Why am I even waiting?'

'That's right, it's for my child. Maybe if I wait a little bit more, I can finally return to normal.'

These thoughts persisted in her mind. It has always been like this since a few hundred years ago, but today there was a certain feeling inside her telling her that soon something would happen that would change her and her child's lives forever.

~~~~~~~~~

Raizen's POV

"Don't forget to suppress your powers since it wouldn't be fun to accidentally destroy the world even before we experienced everything it has to offer." Raizen reminded Nia, who was about to enter the spatial crack he created.

"Did you think I was foolish enough not to have thought about that, dear?" Nia replied with a weak voice, as if deeply hurt by Raizen's words.

"I would have believed you if you were not smirking." Raizen retorted.

"Ufufu~ don't worry, dear, I already suppressed my powers to their utmost limit. It should just be around the level of the outer gods." Nia replied with her usual seductive smile and reassured Raizen.

Hearing her words, Raizen just nodded and thought, 'That's weak enough, I guess?'

"So, where will this thing lead us to, dear?" Nia asked as she slightly poked her index finger through the spatial crack.

"I don't know, I just randomly made it." He shrugged at her question

"Just as I expected from you, dear." Nia commented as she retracted her finger and held Raizen's arm.

"Then there's no point in waiting any longer, is there? Let's go!" She urged as she pulled Raizen into the spatial crack.

~~~~~~~~~~

At a certain Mountain..

Every creature in the mountains was having a peaceful day, with birds chirping and wild beasts mating, when a spatial crack suddenly appeared. The surrounding wild creatures, as if attracted by this, started gathering and staring at the crack with great interest when suddenly a small finger passed through it. Along with it was an extremely ominous feeling, akin to being close to their natural predator, and their instincts were screaming for them to run away as far as possible. And of course, being wild creatures led by instinct, every single one of them scattered and scrambled in random directions.

The place, which was previously filled with different creatures, has now become deserted. Even the sound of birds chirping cannot be heard. As everything happened quickly, the small finger disappeared from the crack, and two people came out instead. It was an extremely beautiful woman with long black hair and pale yellow eyes, and the other was an equally handsome man with long black hair and amethyst-colored eyes. This couple were obviously Nia and Raizen.

The spatial crack disappeared instantly when the two of them passed through. As soon as Nia stepped out of the crack, she took a deep breath, as if taking in all the fresh air in that place.

"Haa~ It feels nice to come out and play once in a while, don't you think, dear?" Nia asked with a warm smile as she stared at Raizen.

"Umu, I miss this feeling." Raizen nodded and agreed with her words.

Raizen and Nia appreciated the new environment for a few minutes when Raizen felt something from a certain direction of the mountain. He looked in that direction, as if oblivious to the obstacles and distance. What he saw made him interested.

"Nia, let's head there for a moment; I found something quite interesting." Raizen retracted his gaze and stared at Nia with a kind smile.

"Sure, I don't mind." Nia agreed easily since she was also interested in what Raizen deemed interesting.

Hearing her reply, Raizen's smile grew. Nia was also naturally able to see what he saw from afar, and seeing that Nia wasn't opposed to his ideas, he was naturally happy. Without wasting more time, the two of them started walking in the same direction Raizen had been staring at earlier.

~~~~~~~~~~

In the certain place where Raizen and Nia were headed, a female dragon was lying down. The dragon is many times larger than the average human, with light-colored scales running all over her body. She has a dark-colored fiery mane running down her back and arms, which appear to be connected to her feathery wings. While having three pairs of extensions from her jaw, she has a dark-colored wing-like design over her eyes that's complemented by two oval designs right above it, the bigger one on the bottom and the smaller one on top. She also has them on her paws, four extending from the forearm and three on each finger. There's a noticeable border above her nostrils that divides her mouth from her face, extending near the back of her head. Finally, it has a pair of jagged horns extending from the base of her skull and feather-like scales extending from the back of her knees.

She was also able to feel the ominous and heavy feeling just like the other creatures, and just like them, she thought of fleeing, but the same feeling she felt some time ago was telling her to stay and meet the individual who was releasing this dangerous feeling.

'I can feel two different auras; the other has the same feeling as earlier, but the second one feels more dangerous, yet I am excited to meet this person.' She thought.

Normally, it would be impossible for normal beings to feel the auras of Raizen and Nia, but individuals with sufficient strength and experience would be able to slightly glimpse through the horror of these two.

She, being a dragon with great strength who has lived for a few centuries, is naturally more sensitive to magic particles in her surroundings, or what they call ethernano in this world.

Ethernano dwells inside all living organisms, the world, and throughout the atmosphere. Nobody knows when magic began or how etherano originated. To utilize magic, a mage must use their power. Ethernano is the source of magic power for all mages. Every mage has a "container" inside their body that determines the limits of their magic power. If the case becomes empty, Ethernano will come from the atmosphere and enter the mage's body, and after a while, their magic power is restored.

The current world Raizen and Nia were in is called Earth Land, and it is abundant with Ethernano as there are human mages, magical beasts, dragons, celestial spirits, gods, and other races in these world.

There are different continents in this world. The eastern part of Earth Land is occupied by a very large peninsula called Ishgar that is surrounded by scattered islands of differing sizes. The western continent of Earth Land is called Alakitasia, which is much more monolithic compared to Ishgar, with few islands, and the northern continent of Earth Land is called Guiltina, which is also monolithic compared to Ishgar, with few islands.

As she was thinking about this strange feeling she was having, soon the silhouettes of two people emerged. She didn't have time to admire their looks because the moment she saw them, especially the man with long black hair, her entire existence was shaken, and something within her told her to submit and bow down to the man. She tried extremely hard to resist the urge to bow down, but the feeling was too strong for her to ignore. But just as she was unable to continue resisting, she saw the man smile and open his mouth to speak.

"Calm down, there's no need for you to do that" Raizen said with his usual harmless smile.

Hearing his words, the strong feeling trying to make her submit totally disappeared.

"Don't worry, I have no intention to harm you or your unborn child." Raizen added as he continued to stare at the dragon's eyes as if he were directly staring at her soul.

Naturally, hearing his words, the female dragon became more vigilant. Though she knew that she stood no chance against the man or the woman accompanying him, she would still resist with all her might.

"Ufufu~ come now. My husband just found you interesting, that's all. If he really wants to kill you, you wouldn't even know you died." Nia said as she chuckled at the dragon's strong fighting spirit.

The dragon heard Nia's words but ignored them. Just as she was about to ask them what they wanted, she heard the man speak again.

"I could see that you're not a dragon from birth; because of your power, it planted a seed within you that slowly transformed your whole existence into that of a dragon, and this transformation was definitely not something you chose to undergo voluntarily" Raizen told his observations about the dragon in front of them.

His words made her eyes wide open from sheer surprise. 'How do you know that?' 'Are you the same as me?' 'Do you know a way to turn me back to normal?' All these questions appeared in her mind almost instantaneously after hearing his words, but before she could ask them, she was once again interrupted by the man's voice.

"I know you have so many questions you want to ask me, but let me ask you one thing instead. Do you want my help?" Raizen asked.

"Though we just met and you would be really suspicious of me, it's up to you whether you take my offer or not. This is a one-time offer, so think carefully; I'd give you some time." He added.

Nia just stood quietly beside Raizen, smiling. She let him handle the whole situation. Raizen was about to turn around and find somewhere to wait for the dragon's reply with Nia when she heard the dragon's voice.

"Help me. Please, help me." The dragon spoke as she asked for his help.

Her words, as if begging, may be contradictory to how she acted before, but after hearing the words she wanted to hear the most in her entire life since she became a dragon, all her other thoughts were suppressed. She doesn't care about anything as long as she reverts back to her human form.

"As you wish" Raizen said with a smile after hearing her reply.

Raizen snapped his fingers, and the dragon was enveloped by a purple light. The dragon felt that something within her was being fixed and organized. And she wasn't wrong; Raizen was making her body able to wield her powers freely and allow her to switch between her human and dragon forms at will without any drawbacks or side effects. This was something that no one could do, not even the strongest wizard in the world.

But just as she thought that the whole process would take some time, the purple light enveloping her started to dim. When all the light disappeared, a tall, beautiful, and voluptuous woman with thick scarlet hair appeared. She looked around and saw that everything looked different; the trees that were previously small in her view became larger, and the sunlight touching her skin felt more warm. She felt refreshed, and her body felt totally different from before. Tear drops started to form in her eyes as she stared at her hands, which were now smooth and tender, different from the scaly ones she would usually see.

[ Image Here ]

"Sorry to interrupt your little celebration, but here's your daughter," Raizen said as he held a baby with scarlet hair in his arms.

"Since you're already in human form, I assume you no longer need to suppress your child's growth. It wouldn't bring any good to her." He added as he stared at the baby sleeping peacefully, and a doting smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The two women's eyes were drawn to that smile, particularly the red hair. Now that her thoughts were cleared, she saw how good-looking the man was, and seeing him carry her child with that doting smile, she couldn't help but think how lucky it would be if he were her husband and the father of her daughter.

Meanwhile, the black-haired woman beside Raizen was having a more dangerous thought. 'Haa~ I really want to bear his daughters. I want those adoring eyes to stay on me as he pounds me with his big cock and impregnates me. Ahh, I can't wait for our next session.'

"Though I don't mind your current appearance, if someday you decide to wash yourself and wear clothes, I'll teach you now how to do those things with magic." Raizen said as he stopped staring at the baby and was now looking at the mature, red-haired woman.

Hearing his comment, the woman with red hair hurriedly used her arms to cover her chest and private parts.

"Thank you, I'd appreciate that." She said it with a slight tinge of red in her cheeks.

Seeing this, Nia couldn't help but comment, "Ara~ just look at how bold my husband is. Hooking up with another woman in front of his wife."

Raizen ignored her wife's usual teasing. The girl with the red hair was about to retort, but information about how to use magic for cleaning her body and making clothes suddenly appeared on her mind. She was surprised at first, but when she thought about how easily the man in front of her solved her problems, she easily accepted it as normal.

She did as the information told her and washed herself, and then, out of pure magic, she started imagining the clothes she thought would best fit her. Clothing then started to cover her body. Her black top has a diamond-shaped opening, exposing a portion of her breasts, and a heart-shaped pattern around the borders. It extends down to the navel of her stomach, where it meets a large angular scar, is draped over by a dark-colored cape with a light-colored inside and two medallion-like gold-like ornaments, and is held together by a golden chain. Not left bare, too, her neck is decorated by other small cloth-based accessories, including a wide bow. Additionally, she wears an elongated black loincloth with white borders on its edges and is connected to another cloth piece with the very same heart-shaped design. She also wears black thigh-high boots with heels that have a white-colored border near the top and gloves of the same color and design, only having claw-like extensions. She also thickly braided her hair into four sections. Her two front braids have two golden ornaments near the upper sections; she also wears two U-shaped earrings, one on each ear, and wears red lipstick.

She couldn't help but think that this was the most appropriate outfit for her.

"I see, so this is what you prefer to wear. Umu, good choice" Raizen nodded in approval.

"Ara~ it seems you're really trying to seduce my husband." Nia said in a teasing tone but her lips were smiling dangerously.

Raizen went near the red-haired woman and handed the sleeping baby to her.

"This may be late, but my name is Irene Belserion. I am truly grateful for helping me and my daughter." Irene sincerely thanked Raizen and bowed her head to show her gratitude.

"I see, my name's Raizen Amara, and this woman beside me is Nia Amara, my wife. Also, you don't have to worry, since I just did it on a whim. You should thank fate instead for allowing our paths to meet." Raizen said. "In addition, you should have felt that you were not truly back to being a human; all I did was adjust and strengthen your body and soul to fully control your dragonic power and traits without losing any of your human traits." He added.

"Yes, I know, and that's why I am even more grateful; with this, I will have more power to protect myself and my daughter." Irene said as she embraced her daughter more tightly.

"If that's so, then I'll accept your gratitude." Seeing her like this, Raizen couldn't help but accept her thanks.

"So, have you thought of the child's name?" Nia suddenly asked.

"A name?" Irene muttered as she kept staring at her daughter, who had woken up and was looking at her. She became silent for a moment while in deep thought.

"Erza" Irene softly said. As if knowing it was her, the baby giggled and tried to reach her mother's face with her small hands.

"Fufufu, It seems that you like that name. From now on, you are Erza Belserion, my daughter." Irene said with a smile, tears streaming down her cheeks.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Irene's POV

I was once a human a few hundred years ago, known as the Queen of Dragons. During that time, dragons roamed the land and even lived with humans, helping them to advance their civilizations and grow as a whole. I married a general from a neighboring country to settle territorial disputes.

Due to my incredible magic power, I was the queen of a country called Dragnof, which was one of several in Ishgar, one of the continents in this world that had dragons and humans peacefully coexisting. I had built up many strong relationships with friendly dragons, to the point where I allowed them to play with my kingdom's children. I was especially close to one dragon in particular, named Belserion.

Belserion is a dragon sporting features typical of his species: a large, quadrupedal body build; sharp claws; tough beige scales; large wings; a tail; and a smooth, armor-like underbelly. Of his draconian features, Belserion's most notable features are the exceeding amount of sharp protrusions on the various parts of his body: large tusks jut out from and curve around either side of his jaw; two large horns that stick out from the back of his head; two long maxillary canines that protrude from his bottom jaw; his chin is rather sharp; he has a horn on his snout; and the scapulars of his wings also feature large, spiked protrusions.

[ Image Here ]

One day, Belserion returned to the Kingdom of Dragnof from his patrolling and informed me that dragons to the west of Ishgar had been attacking and eating humans. I displayed great discomfort over this idea and agreed with Belserion that the ideology of dragons fighting humans should not take root in Ishgar or her kingdom, because I feared that the actions of a few dragons would break down the trust built between humans and dragons and tarnish everything between the two species. Belserion, on the other hand, promised me that he would not allow that to happen, and it was because of Belserion and other like-minded dragons that the "Dragon King Festival," a war between humans and dragons, began and culminated.

Some time later, with the war underway, I demonstrated my ability to use magical enchantments in front of a crowd of my subjects, instilling them with the hope that I could empower the dragons. After much fighting, the pro-coexistence side of the war began to lose due to betrayal from some of Ishgar's dragons, who felt that humans were beneath them, and the overwhelming number of enemies they faced. After one of many battles, Belserion told me that they were going to lose but reiterated his desire to protect humans.

I wondered why Belserion would go so far; he reminded me of the debt he owes my family because of my predecessor saving his life, which I stated he had repaid long ago. Hearing Belserion's unwavering resolve, I begged my friend to let me fight, knowing full well that the power of even a hundred humans couldn't compare to a dragon.

My solution was a simple one: have Belserion bestow dragon powers on me. With the power of the dragons themselves, I believed the added numbers of humans who would then be able to fight would tip the scales in our favor. Belserion originally thought this tactic impossible, but it ended up being successful, and thus Dragon Slayer magic was born, with me being the unofficial "mother" of all Dragon Slayers.

With a number of humans now imbued with the power of the dragons themselves, the evil dragons began to lose their numerical advantage and were being pushed back. My tactic had worked, and the war was beginning to look winnable.

While my plan was largely successful, there were drawbacks to gaining this power, and it soon began to manifest itself in the humans it was granted to. Humans could not contain the power of a dragon, and they either became consumed by its overwhelming power or developed motion sickness because of the conflict between their draconian senses and their physical bodily composition.

The worst factor of all, however, was the dragon seed. The Dragon Seed began to sprout in the Dragon Slayers and would eventually cause them to irreversibly transform into full-fledged dragons in a process called "dragonification." This began to manifest itself in me at the worst time, as I had become pregnant at that time.

Regardless, I fought alongside Belserion and my husband, who accompanied me during every battle and was present when Acnologia, a cataclysmically powerful Dragon Slayer that can take the form of a dragon at any time due to his overuse of Dragon Slayer Magic and bathing in the blood of the dragons he slaughtered, killed Belserion and ended the war. When Belserion perished, I took his name in his memory and in a quest for vengeance.

One week after the end of the war, I, who had been planted with a dragon seed like all other dragon slayers, began to turn into a dragon. Confronted by my husband, who called me a monster, he ordered me to be put in the dungeons, fearing that I would become like Acnologia. I tried to deter him by revealing that I was pregnant with his child, but the man claimed me to be a liar.

From then on, for three years, I was tortured with whips while being tied up and bound, was beaten by groups of servants, and was even publicly shamed by being tied to a cross and displayed for the kingdom to see, all while keeping my child's growth halted with magic, as I didn't want my child to be born in the grime and filth of my dungeon cell.

My husband came to see me, now mostly covered in scales, and informed me that I was scheduled for execution. I tried telling him about our child yet again, but still believing it to be a lie, he attacked me, slashing my stomach in an attempt to cut the baby out. Something finally snapped in me when my baby was threatened as such, and the dragon seed fully blossomed. Now a dragon in full flight, I killed that piece of trash in a fit of rage, blew up the dungeon and surrounding buildings, and fled to the mountains.

Back then, I was a kind and naive individual, having undergone political marriage to protect my country and end disputes. I also believed in human-Dragon coexistence, as evidenced by my friendship with Belserion, to whom I confided my sadness at the mere thought of dragons eating and mistreating humans, and to whom I even created Dragon Slayer Magic to help the coexistence faction win the war. But what did I get in return? Betrayal, scorn, pain, and humiliation

Although I loved and cared deeply for dragons, I was devastated to have lost my humanity. I constantly rejected my dragon body and wanted nothing more than to return to my human self. Appalled at the thought of giving birth to my child as a dragon, I spent the next few hundreds of years living by myself far in the mountains, searching endlessly for a way to reverse what had been done to me. Things began to look hopeless, as despite all of my experience and skill in magic, I was unable to figure out a way to become a human again.

But everything changed when I met this man named Raizen. His looks are otherworldly, and his strength is unfathomable. It was because of him that I was able to gain back my human form and have my daughter safely.

Staring at Erza, who was smiling in my embrace, I couldn't hold back my tears as I remembered everything that I had gone through, and now, finally, my wish has been granted and my suffering has ended.

An idea suddenly passed through my mind.

"Can I go with you?" I asked the two of them who seemed to be talking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third POV

"Can I go with you?" Irene asked.

Raizen and Nia, who are talking about where to head next, suddenly heard Irene's voice. Raizen already knew her reason and was expecting that this might happen, so he wasn't surprised, and the same with Nia.

"Why? If it's about repaying me, there's no need for that. I already told you my reasons." Raizen still asked to hear her reasons directly from her.

"It's not that. I just have a strong feeling that my life would be more meaningful if I went with you." Irene replied while directly staring at Raizen's eyes.

"What if your feeling is wrong?" Raizen asked again.

"I am confident in my feelings; after all, it was the reason I chose to stay and meet you." Irene said with a firmer voice.

Raizen was satisfied with her honesty and her answer.

"I don't mind. Actually, I am more than happy to have another beautiful woman accompany me, but..." Raizen paused his sentence midway and looked beside him, specifically at Nia, then he smiled and continued, "You should also ask my wife's permission."

"Ufufu~ should I be happy that my husband is asking permission to cheat on me?" Nia chuckled lightly and spoke in her usual teasing tone.

"Sure, I don't mind. I'm fine with whatever my husband wants, but even if it's just a passing thought about betraying Raizen, I'll kill you and torture your soul, and I won't spare that child of yours." Nia looked at Irene's eyes directly said the first part in a friendly tone, but as she continued speaking, her killing intent increased more and more.

Nia naturally lowered the intensity of her killing intent, or else no one could retain their sanity when they experienced it fully. Though she limited it, it was still more than enough to break even the minds of gods if their will was not strong enough.

Irene, who experienced the killing intent, was naturally greatly affected; her body was shaking uncontrollably, and her face became paler with massive beads of sweat. But she never retracted her gaze from Nia, and her determination did not waver.

'I'll trust my feelings one more time. I know that if it's him, I could finally be happy.' These were Irene's thoughts as she gritted her teeth and endured Nia's killing intent.

Erza, who was being held by Irene, was still smiling, seemingly unaware of what was happening in her surroundings. Nia made sure to not affect Erza even the slightest since she saw her husband taking care of the baby, and he would be angry with her if she harmed the baby. Though she knew that Raizen could never really hate her, he could still get angry at her, and she most definitely doesn't want that to happen.

When she threatened to kill the child earlier, she knew that Raizen was already a bit annoyed with her. Her thoughts were confirmed when she heard Raizen's irritated voice beside her.

"Nia" Raizen said with a colder tone.

Nia retracted her killing intent the moment she heard Raizen. It was as if everything had been an illusion; the pressure Irene had been feeling had vanished without a trace.

"I know, dear. I just wanted to see her resolve, and I wasn't serious when I threatened little Erza. fufu~" Nia spoke in a sensual voice.

Seeing Raizen's expression ease up, Nia was relieved.

"You pass, you may come with us." Nia said as she looked toward Irene with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Nia." Irene was relieved that the pressure was gone and happy that she could go with him.

"Since everything's settled, let's head down the mountains. It's been so long since I interacted with humans." Raizen said as he noticed the two women had finished speaking.

Hearing his words, Irene was totally sure that Raizen and Nia were not normal people. They should be from another higher race. She guessed that Raizen was a dragon like her but with a stronger bloodline, something like a dragon king but stronger, because her dragonic nature was telling her to submit to him. Nia, on the other hand, Irene has no idea what she is, but she knows it isn't anything less than Raizen.

"There's no need to think too deeply; since you'll be staying with us, you'll know what we truly are sooner or later." Raizen spoke as if reading Irene's mind.

Irene nodded upon hearing his word and followed as Raizen started walking in a certain direction.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you know where we're headed?" Irene asked Raizen, who was walking in front of them.

"Yes, I felt the presence of a group of people in this direction; it should be a village." Raizen replied without looking back at her, as he was busy playing with Erza while walking.

"We've been walking for four days; maybe it was already destroyed," Irene said in a slightly annoyed tone.

It has been four days since they started descending from the mountains. Nia and Irene became closer to each other as Irene would often ask Nia to teach her some magic. Since she has nothing better to do, Nia obliged her request and started teaching her. Though not at Raizen's level, Irene is definitely a genius among geniuses.

Nia was satisfied with Irene, and naturally the two of them were now on friendlier terms. Nia also noticed Irene's personality in their interactions; though it has not yet fully manifested itself, Irene has shown signs of being extremely confident in her prowess, manipulative, and cruel to others she does not consider important, which right now only includes Raizen, Erza, and Nia. which made Nia even more delighted with her.

"Why don't you use your powers and sense their presence?" Raizen said, smiling as he poked Erza's cheek.

"Fufufu, simply because I don't want to." Irene laughed lightly.

Hearing her answer, Raizen just chuckled at how much Irene has changed in just four days.

Irene's relationship with Raizen also improved significantly; she would now speak her mind casually. She was already able to somehow grasp Raizen's personality: he's carefree and easygoing and will let things play out. He could even watch the world burn in front of his eyes while smiling innocuously. According to Nia, Raizen is also extremely unreasonable and cruel to those he considers his enemies, and no one can live after showing hostility to him or those he considers his. But the greatest piece of information she received from Nia was how good Raizen was at sex. On the second night of their trip, she saw it firsthand. She heard Nia's trembling moans echo in the area.

Nia saw the expression on Irene's face in the morning and teased her all through the day; she even started teaching her how to seduce Raizen, which Irene happily learned.

"You have a natural talent for seducing. With those big breasts and plump ass, and even with the aura you have, you could just stand in the middle of a city doing nothing, and everyone would be dying to sleep with you." Nia said as she licked her lips while carefully observing Irene's body.

"Fufufu, though I am really glad to hear your praises, only Raizen is allowed to touch me, not even you or any other man or woman." Irene replied to Nia in an apologetic voice while having a smile on her lips.

"Ara~ you've learned well. I'll let you go today for trying to tease me." Hearing her reply, Nia knew she was teasing her but was really satisfied with her student.

"We've arrived." Raizen's voice interrupted the little conversation between the two women.

The two of them arrived beside Raizen and saw a simple, tiny rural village. It has small huts for living and people talking peacefully with one another. As they slowly approached the village, the residents were also able to notice them. Seeing how good-looking all of them are, everyone became more welcoming, especially the women, when they saw Raizen. One older villager came to them and welcomed them with a smile.

"Welcome to Rosemary Village, might we know the reason for your visit?" He smiled warmly as he asked them.

Seeing that everyone from the small village was very hospitable, Raizen was extra pleased as he smiled and answered the man.

"We were originally living in the mountains, but my other wife just gave birth, so we decided to travel and find a more suitable living place." Raizen gave the most appropriate reason at the moment.

People were surprised to hear her words. The males were surprised when he said, "One of his wives." They could naturally see the two extremely beautiful women with Raizen; though they were both smiling, their eyes were staring at them coldly as if looking at something worthless, and for both of them to actually be his wives, they admired him.

The woman, on the other hand, reacted for a different reason: they could see Raizen carrying a baby, and, after hearing him say that he has more than one wife, they thought they could still hook up with him. But when they compared themselves to Irene and Nia, they knew they had no chance. Saying that they were sad was an understatement; the married ones could not even look at their husbands the same way anymore, and they couldn't help but compare them to Raizen.

Irene was surprised as well when Raizen addressed her as his wife; the sweetness she felt inside made her smile. Even though she knew he only said it as an excuse, at least he wasn't opposed to the idea. This was really great news for her. Nia couldn't help but laugh in amusement at Irene's reaction.

The elder who greeted them, however, was surprised that they were living in the mountains. When he saw their clothing, he thought they were from a well-off background.

Raizen's outfit consists of a dark, half-off coat-like garment with a green front and lapels. The coat's color fades from dark green to black and has numerous golden details and numerous trinkets, as well as a black mini-cape with a golden underside. He's wearing a tight black top with a split high collar and detached sleeves, as well as gold accents and a green ornament on his chest. His arm sleeves partially cover his hands, leaving certain fingers exposed. These are held together with numerous gold-patterned green fabrics around his waist, from which a number of trinkets dangle, including two light blue leaf-shaped charms and three teardrop-like trinkets. He wears tight, dark green pants and black and gold knee-high boots with a colorful top.

Raizen changed from his cultivation robes into this new outfit, which he calls his adventuring clothes.

"Are you perhaps a mage?" The old man couldn't help but ask. Seeing the way they carried themselves, he knew they were someone powerful.

"That's right." Raizen confirmed his guess.

Raizen and Nia already knew some basic knowledge about the world, such as about the mages from Irene. But, because Irene lived centuries ago, changes and new things were unavoidable.

Hearing his words, the villagers became more excited. They naturally knew about mages, and seeing three of them in front of their eyes naturally made them happy, and from what they could see, they had no ill intention towards them.

"If you guys need a place to stay, there is an old empty house near the edge of the village. If you guys don't mind that, then you're more than welcome to stay in our village." The old man spoke and offered them a place to stay.

"Yes, we're fine with that. Thank you very much." Raizen naturally thanked them.

"It's fine, after all; having a capable mage inside the village is reassuring." As he explained his reasoning, the old man said.

Raizen simply smiled when he heard his words. The villagers were also happy to have them in the village. Even though they could not have Raizen, at least they could still see him every day as long as they were in the village. That was what the women thought. The man was also naturally happy to have two beautiful women inside the village, but when they suddenly felt a dangerous aura, they unconsciously turned their gaze at Raizen, and when they saw his smiling face, they hurriedly retracted their gazes from them and looked in different directions before starting to walk away to tend to their daily chores. The women also dispersed reluctantly to do their work.

Nia and Irene couldn't help but chuckle at the people's reactions. They didn't have to do anything since Raizen was really possessive, which they are definitely not complaining about.

"Also, since we were living in the mountains, we didn't know much about the outside world. Could you, if it's not too much trouble, teach us some fundamental knowledge?" Raizen used the fact that they lived in the mountains to easily ask for any current information without making them doubt their origin. Actually, they weren't lying; Irene really lived in the mountains for a few hundred years.

"I see. It's no trouble, but since we are also only from a small village, our knowledge would also be insignificant." The old man honestly said

"It's fine; we'd appreciate any type of information." Raizen reassured him.

The old man collected his thoughts and started speaking: "The current year is X765, and this place is located within the kingdom of Fiore, ruled by King Toma E. Fiore, which is part of the continent of Ishgar. The currency in Fiore is called jewels, and there are many guilds that mages can join to earn jewels by completing jobs sent out by others. That's about everything I know." the old man said. He tried searching his mind for more information, but this was really the only thing he knew.

"Thank you; you don't have to force yourself if you don't know any more. It's already really helpful." Raizen once again thanked the old man and appreciated his help.

"That's great to hear; if you don't need anything else, I'll lead you to the house so you can rest with your family."The old man gestured for them to follow.

Raizen, who was carrying the sleeping Erza, along with Nia and Irene, followed the old man through the village. As the village was small, it didn't take them long to reach their destination. It was a small, old house that could hold a small family. Some of the roof was broken, but it could easily be fixed.

"It has not been used since the owner died, so it has degraded to its current state, but the furniture inside should still be fine and usable." The old man said

"By the way, my name is Yoshi, but everyone in the village just calls me Old Man. Since you young ones are also staying in our village, feel free to call me that nickname." Yoshi added.

Raizen couldn't help but giggle when she heard Yoshi call them young ones, though it was not his fault since their appearance was really young.

'These two women behind me are even older than your great-grandparents.' Raizen thought amusingly.

"My name is Raizen, the woman with black hair is Nia, the one with red hair is Irene, and this little girl is called Erza. It's a pleasure to meet you. If you don't mind, I'll also call you old man." Hearing Raizen introduce them, Nia and Irene just stood there without changing their expressions.

"The pleasure's mine. I won't disturb you guys any longer; I'll see myself out and see you guys around." Old man Yoshi excused himself and headed back to his own home.

When Yoshi was gone, Raizen snapped his fingers and fixed the worn out house. He just repaired the broken parts but did not change the exterior of the house.

"This will be our new home for some time." Raizen said as he looked at the small house with a smile.

"Fufufu, let's make happy memories together, husband~" Irene said in a teasing tone as she embraced Raizen's left arm.

"Ara~ at least you know your position." Nia said amusely as she took Raizen's right.

"But don't think I didn't know what you were thinking earlier, dear." Nia said as she pinched Raizen's arm.

"Fufufu, though I really like you, certain topics are better not said or even thought about, husband." Irene followed while squeezing Raizen's left arm harder.

'The intuition of women is really the scariest' He thought.

"It's just a useless thought, there's no need to take it to heart." Raizen said with a smile.

Having two highly seductive women around him, Raizen would never complain; he'd welcome them with open arms. He didn't correct the way Irene called her, since no matter how he saw it, that's where it would just end up. So why act like a shy virgin? It's better to enjoy their advances and show them who's in charge.

Raizen walked towards the house, as Nia and Irene followed him.

~~~~~~~~~~

When they walked into the house, they noticed a simple rectangular wooden table with two chairs on each of the longer sides. The house has a little kitchen and two small bedrooms.

Irene took Erza from Raizen before they all sat on the chairs. Nia sat beside Raizen, while Irene took the seat opposite to Raizen's. Nia waved her hand and made some snacks appear. Irene wasn't surprised; since the last few days, Nia has also made different types of dishes appear out of thin air, and they all taste good. The interior of the house was relatively simple.

Ever since they sat down, the previous sunny atmosphere around them has disappeared, and Irene has been quiet and deep in thought. Raizen and Nia didn't disturb her. After some time, Irene took a deep breath and looked towards Raizen. Seeing her determined look, he smiled at her and waited for her to speak.

"I want to tell you about my past." Irene expressed herself solemnly.

Raizen didn't say a word and just continued to stare at her with the same smile. When Irene noticed this, she began recounting events from her life.

"I was..."

After an hour, Irene finished telling them everything about her past. Raizen and Nia sat through the entirety of her story. Though she was not as sad as before, her mood was still quite affected when remembering her past.

"I was really pathetic back then, wasn't I?" Irene said with self deprecation.

She lowered her head and stopped talking. The room became really quiet.

"Yes you were" Raizen suddenly said.

Irene was taken aback by Raizen's reply, even Nia was slightly surprised. They were not the words they were expecting to hear from Raizen.

Seeing their reaction, he continued, "You were expecting me to say some kind words, then you will become more infatuated with me because of my kindness. I have already seen things like that happen countless times."

"It's not the world's fault, as it was never fair to begin with; it was your fault for being weak. You lost your humanity because you needed power to fight dragons, you lost a friend because you were too weak to protect anything, you were humiliated because your heart couldn't bear killing the humans who abandoned you, and you were too weak to rule your kingdom, so you married a trash. In the end, you couldn't blame anyone aside from yourself." Raizen said coldly.

Irene knew his words were true, but hearing them be spoken to her mercilessly made her unable to stop her tears from flowing.

"But everything's different now, right?" Raizen spoke again, but in a softer tone.

Irene was surprised when she heard his words. Seeing her expression, Raizen's expression changed; his smile was sincere.

"In your current state, you can easily kill a dragon; you could protect anyone you wanted to protect in this world; you could manipulate and kill people; and most importantly, you have the strongest husband in existence." He added

Irene was overcome with emotion as she listened to his words. Nia was initially surprised by Raizen's words, but she knew her husband better than anyone else, so she left everything to him.

"Since you called me husband, I would never treat my wife unfairly. If anything made you unhappy, make it disappear. If you found something unpleasant, purge it. And if the world decides to become your enemy, let your husband destroy it." Raizen said as he kept staring at Irene's eyes.

His words made her feel so much happiness that her tears couldn't stop falling. If she wasn't holding Erza, Irene would have already jumped on Raizen to hug him. Guessing what she was thinking, Nia stood up from her place and went to Irene,

"Fufu~ treat it as a little gift." Nia spoke as she took Erza from Irene.

Hearing her words, Irene wasted no time and jumped directly towards Raizen, destroying the table and chairs and spilling the food on the table. She hugged him tighter, as if afraid that he'd disappear.

"Everything's fine; just show your weak side to me, and let the world fear my Dragon Queen." Raizen said softly as he also embraced the woman in his arms.

He saw her nod her head slowly without breaking the hug.

"Fufu~ I'll turn you into a real Queen of the Dragons who deserves to be with my husband." Nia chimed in.

"By the way, dear. How long do you plan to stay in this tiny village? Nia asked.

"We'll stay for a few years, at least until Erza can fight properly." Raizen responded by stroking the back of Irene's head.

"Hmm~ Fine by me." Nia replied while playing with Erza's chubby cheeks. She fixed the mess Irene had created before sitting down in one of the chairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~

A year after living together, Raizen and Irene finally had sex. Loud moans echoed through the small room. Fortunately, Raizen had already made sure to add a barrier around the room to prevent sounds from leeking, or else the whole village would hear Irene's loud and seductive moans. Raizen made sure to change the time ratio to 1:10. One hour outside their room equals ten years inside. He wants to fully enjoy his time with his wife, so he took these necessary actions.

"Ahh~ Hmhm~ Haa~"

"Yes~ fuck me harder~ Hahh~ Umh~ moree~"

"Ahh~ there~ husband haa~ I'm cummingg!!~"

"Noo~ don't umh~ lick hahh~ there, ahh~ it's dirty"

"Ahh~ you already used every part of my body~"

"Hmm~ ahhh~ yesss~ keep licking there~"

"Pound me harder~ fill my stomach more with your cum~"

"Noo~ don't pull out~ it's leeking~"

While Raizen and Irene were having wild sex in the room, Nia was talking with Erza, "Fufu~ I'll also train you to become a proper woman."

"Seggs?" Erza who was currently a year old asked as she cutely tilted her head.

"You're way too young for that, fufu~" Nia chuckled hearing Erza.

"No seggs?" Erza asked as she once again tilted her head to the other side.

Inside the room, a naked red-haired woman covered in cum all over her body was embracing a handsome man with long black hair. These two were Irene and Raizen. After becoming one, a black tattoo of two coiling dragons appeared below Irene's cleavage.

[ Tattoo Image Here ]

She didn't have the time to inspect it earlier because she was too focused on sex. Irene gently touched the area where the mark was, and she felt that she was much closer to Raizen.

"Every dragon would mark its mate, but mine is more special. It brings many effects to the bearer; once my mark appears on a woman, it will never disappear. As long as I exist, you cannot die; your body and soul become indestructible. We can know the location of each person who has my mark and teleport to each other anywhere, ignoring any laws and restrictions. And most importantly, once you gain my mark, your whole existence becomes unique. In the vast omniverse, there are parallel worlds and universes that contain other versions of you, but once you gain this mark, every other version of you will disappear, even your past and future selves. You would enter an existence where fate would have no say; your life would be yours to live without anything trying to dictate it for you. As a result, my mark would only appear if a woman truly loved me unconditionally and without ulterior motives, and I loved her back. So, even if I slept with a gazillion women, that mark would never appear as long as the women's love isn't genuine and I don't love them back. Right now, only you and Nia possess my mark." Raizen explained when he saw Irene caressing the tattoo.

Irene was delighted when she heard what Raizen said. This is the best proof of their relationship, and with it, she would be able to stay with Raizen forever. She had already stopped caring about the world; only Raizen and her new family mattered to her.

"Where is Sister Nia's mark located, husband?" Irene was curious since she hasn't yet seen Nia's mark.

"It's at the top of her cleavage." Raizen replied as she stroked Irene's head.

Irene felt more satisfied after feeling Raizen's hand.

Year X767

In a small house, three adults and one child were sitting around a wooden table. This was naturally Raizen, Nia, Irene, and Erza, who has now grown into a two year old.

It's been two years since they arrived at Rosemary Village. They lived a peaceful lives in these past years. Raizen played with Erza and started to strengthen her body, while Nia trained Irene intensely and made her improve her strength to an unfathomable level. The current Irene is already on par with an Outer God, though she was a genius, this should have been impossible, but after receiving Raizen's seed over and over again, her body was transformed and evolved into a higher existence, and right now she was still constantly improving.

"Erza, let's start your proper training today." Raizen said as he looked down at Erza, who was sitting on his lap with her cheeks puffed out with food. Nia was sitting beside Raizen, while Irene was on the other side of the table.

Hearing his words, Erza's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head repeatedly. Raizen had already used his power to greatly enhance Erza's body to the absolute peak of humanity; he didn't turn her into a dragon like he and her mother, since they want her to make her choice when she's a bit older.

"Fufufu, is my daughter really that excited to train?" Irene laughed as she saw Erza's excitement.

"Because Mother Nia said that if I beat Father, he'll marry me in the future, just like Mom and Mother Nia." Erza said proudly.

"What are you teaching my daughter, Sister?" Irene asked Nia seriously, but she wasn't angry about it, she just wanted to try teasing the other woman.

"Ara~ If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll grow old alone, my dear daughter. I only told you to become stonger." Nia patted Erza's head while laughing at the little girls words.

"And stop with your poor acting, my dear little sister. We all know you wanted Erza to always stay with her father," Nia said as she looked over Irene.

Raizen just observed everything quietly while smiling at his families interactions.
