A girl leaned on the desk, looking down at Lin Che with worry and a hint of anger in her eyes.
She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender. She wore a white JK uniform, with a pair of long, shapely legs beneath the pleated skirt, and a white shirt collar fastened with a red tie, making her look both cute and a little sexy.
Su Yulin was the recognized school beauty of Baichuan No. 1 Middle School—and Lin Che's childhood sweetheart.
"You're not allowed to participate in the Universal Lord Trial. Stay on Earth and behave yourself!"
Her voice trembled slightly despite the commanding tone. Her hands gripped the edge of Lin Che's desk hard enough that her knuckles turned white.
Lin Che looked up from the strategy notes he'd been reviewing, meeting her gaze calmly. Around them, the classroom buzzed with last-minute preparations—tomorrow, every graduating student would be transported to the Eternal Continent for the Universal Lord Trials.
Some would return as powerful Lords.
Most would never return at all.
"This battlefield is too dangerous," Su Yulin continued, her voice becoming increasingly unfriendly as disappointment crept into her expression. "What are you doing risking your life with just a succubus castle?"
The words hung in the air like a death sentence.
A succubus castle. F-tier. The absolute worst starting building in the entire Lord system. Everyone who'd ever awakened one had died within weeks. No exceptions.
Lin Che smiled calmly at the girl who'd been by his side since elementary school. "Or will you support me?"
Su Yulin's breath caught. Her amber eyes glistened with unshed tears.
"I..." She bit her lower lip. "How can I support someone who's determined to die?"
Around them, other students pretended not to listen while absolutely listening. The school beauty arguing with the doomed boy—it was dramatic enough for gossip, tragic enough to remember.
Lin Che stood, tall enough that even Su Yulin had to look up slightly despite her impressive height. He reached out and tucked a strand of her long black hair behind her ear—an intimate gesture that made several nearby students gasp.
"Then watch me prove everyone wrong," he said quietly, so only she could hear. "When I come back as the strongest Lord, no one—not your family, not society, not anyone—can say we don't belong together."
Her family had forbidden their relationship the moment they learned about Lin Che's starter building. A succubus castle was worse than dying—it was a death sentence itself.
"Promise me you'll survive," Su Yulin whispered, her proud facade cracking. "Please."
"I'll do better than survive." Lin Che smiled. "I'll conquer."
He leaned in and kissed her forehead, right there in front of everyone. Let them see. Let them talk. Tomorrow, none of it would matter.
Su Yulin's face flushed red—from embarrassment, from worry, from love she couldn't fully express. "You idiot," she breathed. "You absolute idiot."
"Hehe," Lin Che just lightly chuckled.
The next moment, the classroom door burst open. Their homeroom teacher stood there, face grim: "All students, prepare for transportation. Countdown begins in one hour."
The room erupted into chaos—final goodbyes, last-minute equipment checks, tears from those saying farewell to families.
Su Yulin grabbed Lin Che's hand, squeezing hard. "I'll find you," she said fiercely. "When I get my Moonlight Elf Palace, I'll build my territory and I'll find you. So you better stay alive until then."
Lin Che squeezed back. "I'll be the one everyone's talking about. You won't have to search long."
She laughed through her tears. "Arrogant as always."
Then, the warning bell rang. Fifty-nine minutes until transportation.
Su Yulin pulled him into a fierce hug, not caring about the spectators anymore. Lin Che held her tight, memorizing the feel of her—her warmth, her scent, the way she fit perfectly against him despite her height.
"Come back to me," she whispered into his chest.
"You can count on me."
...
[Universal Lord Trials - Initiating Mass Transportation...]
[Countdown: 10... 9... 8...]
White light began to fill the classroom. Students grabbed hands, said final goodbyes, made last promises.
Lin Che watched Su Yulin's face as the light intensified. She was trying so hard to look brave, to look confident, but her eyes betrayed her fear—not for herself, but for him.
[3... 2... 1...]
[TRANSPORTATION COMMENCING]
All of a sudden, the sorroundings dissolved into pure white.
...
Lin Che opened his eyes to beauty and ruin.
He stood in a crumbling courtyard that somehow managed to be both decayed and elegant. Gothic architecture mixed with sensual aesthetics—flowing curves instead of harsh angles, warm ambient lighting from sources he couldn't identify, statues of beautiful winged women in tastefully erotic poses.
A succubus castle, without question.
But completely empty. Just him, the ruins, and silence.
Then the system notifications sounded:
[Welcome to the Eternal Continent, Lord Lin Che]
[You have been selected for the Universal Lord Trials]
[Current Universal Survival Rate: 23%]
[Good luck, Lord]
Lin Che took a steadying breath. Twenty-three percent. Roughly only one in four Lords survived.
[Analyzing awakened building...]
[Your Starting Building: SUCCUBUS CASTLE]
[Classification: F-Tier]
[Actual Classification: ??? (Restricted Information)]
Lin Che's eyes narrowed at that last line. Restricted information?

[Do you wish to proceed? Y/N]
Unique system? Lin Che's heart raced. This was it—the moment that would determine everything.
He then selected Yes.
[Initializing...]
[SUPREME BLESSING SYSTEM - ACTIVATED]
Golden light exploded from Lin Che's chest, spreading throughout the entire courtyard. The crumbling walls seemed to pulse with power, and for just a moment, he felt something vast and ancient acknowledge his presence.

Lin Che read every word twice, his strategic mind already racing through implications.
A system that rewarded intimate bonds. Pregnancy required. Maximum devotion required.
And he had a succubus castle.
"What a perfect synergy," he murmured.
But first, he needed to populate his territory.

Lin Che stared at his talent list in shock. Four high-tier talents? Most Lords got one B-rank talent if they were lucky.
This... this changed everything.
"Let's see what we're working with," Lin Che said, pulling out the first Free Summon ticket.
...
[Use Free Summon Ticket? (1/10)]
[Yes]
[Summoning from Succubus Castle...]
[Quality: Good]
[Summon: Succubus Scout]
A small burst of pink light, and a young-looking succubus appeared before him. She had pale pink skin, small curved horns, delicate wings, and a nervous expression. The moment she saw Lin Che, she dropped to one knee.
"M-Master! I am Mina, your loyal servant!"
Her loyalty was absolute—he could feel it like a tangible bond.
[Summon 1/10 Complete]
[Mina - Good Quality]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Favorability: 60] ← Started at 60 due to Succubus Affinity talent!
Lin Che smiled. "Rise, Mina. You're not my servant. You're my subject, and I'll treat you as such."
Mina's eyes went wide and smiled, and her favorability visibly ticked up.
[Favorability: 60 → 65]
He then continued summoning.
[Summon 2/10: Lina - Good Quality Scout (Pink Sister)]
[Summon 3/10: Tina - Good Quality Scout (Pink Sister)]
Three pink-skinned succubus sisters appeared, all similar in appearance but with different personalities—Lina was bold, Tina was shy, Mina was somewhere in between.
[Summon 4/10: Vera - Excellent Quality Blacksmith]
A red-skinned succubus with strong arms and an intense gaze materialized. She immediately started assessing the castle's condition with a professional eye.
[Summon 5/10: Cella - Excellent Quality Enchanter]
A purple-skinned succubus with mystical markings covering her arms appeared, already muttering incantations under her breath.
[Summon 6/10: Nella - Excellent Quality Architect]
An orange-skinned succubus with precise movements and calculating eyes materialized, immediately pulling out measuring tools from thin air.
[Summon 7/10: Seraphine - Rare Quality Administrator]
A mature-looking succubus with silver hair and deep crimson skin appeared, radiating competence and grace. She bowed elegantly.
"My Lord, I am Seraphine. I shall handle all administrative duties."
[Summon 8/10: Morgana - Rare Quality Resource Manager]
A dark-skinned succubus with sharp features materialized.
[Summon 9/10: Vivian - Rare Quality Population Coordinator]
A blue-skinned succubus with a warm smile appeared.
Lin Che now had nine succubi standing before him—a mix of scouts, crafters, and administrators. All beautiful in their own ways, all absolutely loyal, all starting with high favorability thanks to his talent.
But everyone was waiting for the tenth summon.
The final summon. The one that could make or break a new Lord's start.
Lin Che held the last ticket.
[Final Free Summon (10/10)]
[CRITICAL BONUS TRIGGERED!]
[Extreme Luck (SSS) - ACTIVATED!]
[Perfect 10-Summon Completion Bonus - TRIGGERED!]
[Quality Override: LEGENDARY]
Lin Che's eyes widened as golden light erupted from the summoning circle, far more intense than any previous summon.
The nine succubi immediately knelt, sensing something powerful approaching.
The light coalesced into a figure—tall, regal, devastatingly beautiful.
[LEGENDARY SUMMON - SUCCESS!]
[You have summoned: LEANNA - Succubus Queen]
When the light faded, Lin Che found himself staring at perfection.
She stood nearly six feet tall, with flowing purple hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk. Her skin was a deep, rich crimson that seemed to glow with inner power. Golden eyes with slit pupils locked onto Lin Che with immediate recognition and devotion.
She had four wings—marking her as queen-class—that spread elegantly behind her. Her figure was absolutely divine: large breasts, narrow waist, wide hips, long powerful legs. She wore an elegant purple and gold dress that revealed just enough to be tantalizing without being crude.
Curved silver-tipped horns emerged from her temples, and an elegant spaded tail swayed behind her with hypnotic grace.
She was, without question, the most beautiful woman Lin Che had ever seen.
Leanna dropped gracefully to one knee, her wings spreading in a show of submission and respect:
"My Lord Lin Che, I am Leanna, Succubus Queen. I pledge my eternal service to you. Your enemies shall fall, your empire shall rise, and your legacy shall be eternal. Command me, and I shall make your will reality."
Her voice was like honey and silk, carrying absolute conviction.
[Legendary Summon Complete!]

...
Lin Che felt the bond snap into place like a physical thing. She was his. Completely and utterly his.
"Rise, Leanna," he said, his voice steady despite his racing heart.
She stood with fluid grace, towering over most of the other succubi but still slightly shorter than Lin Che. Her golden eyes never left his face.
"My Lord," she said softly, "I am yours to command in all things. What is your will?"
[Territory Population: 10 Succubi]
- 3× Scout Succubi (Good)

Lin Che's so called"weak" starting point was already stronger than most new Lords' armies.
"Leanna," Lin Che said, "tell me everything I need to know about this world."
