Chapter 5 - Fusing Ruby and Hell

After I created the silos, I checked with the system to make sure they wouldn't melt.

|Notice: Your ice won't melt unless you decide to melt it or a magic user uses higher-tiered magic to destroy or melt it,|

'Good enough for me,' I thought as I went to find Ruby and her tribe. I wonder if they will be as excited to fuse as Lulu had.

I soon found Ruby in another part of the farm with the other sheep woman and gave them the same rundown I gave Lulu, I also told them what happened to Lulu afterward. Sure enough Ruby and the rest of her tribe were more than happy to fuse.

|Talent Fusion has activated would you like to fuse 11 Sheep women together and keep Ruby as the dominant persona?|

|Y/N|

"Yes, fuse them," I said, excited to know what Ruby would become.

|Notice: You have fused 11 Rank B Sheep women together and produced 1 SS Rank Hell Demon Silk Wool Sheep Girl. (Information: The Hell Demon Silk Wool Sheep Girl is an arcane sheep girl whose wool is pursued by all in the underworld. Her wool dampens all magic attacks by 70% and is immune to all kinds of fire damage. The Hell Demon Silk Wool Sheep Girl also sheds 20 lbs of wool every 3 days.)|

As if on cue the fine silk wool that was on Ruby slid off her body like a hot knife through butter. New ruby-red wool had already started to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

|Notice: Information: The Hell Demon Silk Wool Sheep Girl also produces 5 gallons of milk per day, The Royalty of Hell and Tartarus crave this milk because it can also be made into SS-ranked Demon Silk Sheep butter and cheese which are very beneficial to Demonic Beasts.|

"Well, Ruby, how do you feel?" I asked with the same shit-eating grin I had when I inspected Lulu. I also gestured for the remaining Sheep women to take the wool to the Storage warehouse outside.

"I feel fantastic your Majesty, thank you so much!" Ruby all but squealed as she jumped around, her EE breasts bouncing along with her. I knew she was going to regret that later and felt some sympathy-pain in advance.

"Im glad to hear that, you can stay here and rest or walk around the clearing but don't stray too far into the forest ok. If you get hungry, drink some milk from Lulu, but make sure to water it down, it's potent." She nodded along in understanding and joy as I spoke.

"I will produce as much wool as you need your majesty for the gift you have given me." She said with a dedicated voice as I turned around and walked off. 'Yes, I suppose you will' I thought distractedly with so much joy in my heart that I might burst from it.

'System you said in Ruby's description that the Royalty of Hell and Tartarus would crave Ruby's Milk. Does that mean there is a Hell dimension here?'

|Notice: Yes, there is a separate dimension for Hell, Tartarus, and Heaven. Although it is not the Heaven in a sense you are thinking of. Millennia ago a few species grew so powerful that they created a higher plane/dimension to enter and live for eternity. The same thing happened for Hell and Tartarus.|

'Ok is there a way for me to trade with those of the underworld?' I mentally asked as I walked to my house.

|Notice: By drawing a summoning circle with the blood of a demon or demon-like creature, you can forge a contract with the Merchant Traders of Hell. You can also sacrifice certain offerings in the circle to get a higher-ranking merchant. For example, since you already have Ruby's blood, you could draw a circle with her blood and then add some milk and some of her wool in the offering sectios. There is a 97.06% chance you will summon one of the Royal Merchants.|

It would be hard to take off the grin from my face after all that had happened, and now I will hopefully be getting a trading route that isn't reliant on other worlders.

'System, will you teach me how to draw a summoning circle for hell?'

|Notice: Yes, the system is here to help you grow as a Queen. It will help you with whatever it can.|

"Wonderful," I whispered to myself in glee. As I walked into my house to talk to the mice woman.

"We're over here your majesty," a faint but familiar voice drew my looking eyes to Yang. All of the mice women had decided to huddle next to the fireplace. Which was odd seeing as it wasn't lit, thinking that they were cold I condensed the oxygen into the fireplace around the logs and then took a match out from the sitting table and lit it with a flick of my finger. Then I took a step forward and tossed the lit match into the oxygen-rich fireplace. As you can imagine the fireplace roared into being, while I also slowly let my magic control go as the fire caught onto the wood. Turning back around to face the other woman I noticed that they were staring at me in horror as one of them actually tripped back in fear.

"Yang, what's wrong, are you all right?" I asked in a quick worried voice.

"My lady we have always stuck to the shadows out of fear and for our safety and now that a Wolf Queen has summoned us to her house and started a fire, well there is really no other choice for us. Which one of us do you want to eat first?" Yang's voice was even softer than before as she said that in a sad yet accepting tone. However, I was in even more shock, actually stumbling over into my sitting chair in horror, my ears pinning to the back of my head in shock.

They thought I was going to roast them alive and yet none of them ran away. Every single one of them had a dejected and sad look and yet all of them stayed. It made the fur on the back of my nape stand on end as I thought of all the horrors this race has probably lived through.

"No, Im not going to eat you, any of you. I am your Queen, it is my sworn duty to keep you as safe as I can to the best of my ability. Eating you would betray that trust, No I asked you all to come here so I could use some magic on you that would make you stronger. However, there is a price for that magic." I said in what I hoped to be a calm, nurturing voice. Still thinking about the atrocities these women must have lived through over the years.

"My Queen we are here to serve you in any way you want us no matter the price," Yang said immediately. I noticed that she didn't believe a single thing I said except that there was a price. I had to accept that this race of women have been raised as basically slaves/cattle for centuries, and I would not be able to get rid of that mistrust so easily. So, with a sigh in my heart, I explained that I would be fusing all 20 of them in groups of five. They just nodded in acceptance not even hesitating. To make them stronger I also inject my Shadow magic into the fusing process.

|Talent Fusion has been activated, would you like to fuse 20 Rank E Mice women in groups of 5 together with your Shadow Magic and Yang being a dominant persona in one group?|

|Y/N|

'Yes,' I mentally selected the button, still in a bit of a depressed haze. All the good things that had happened today were not even a blip on my radar at the moment.

|Notice: Talent Fusion: has produced 4 A-rank Shadow Mice women. (Information: The Shadow mouse is a species that was raised in darkness and can live in other people's shadows, leaching off of a minuscule amount of mana that the person radiates from themselves. They can traverse the darkness like it's breathing air and have the ability to shadow hop from one person's shadow to the next, this makes it extremely difficult to catch a Shadow mouse. They also have miniature pocket spaces, similar to your inventory, in which to keep their things.|

I was very impressed with the results of the Fusion and had gotten a bit of a smile back on my face, however, it dropped again when I saw what Yang's willpower was. The 4 mice women however still looked subservient, like they had, had magic performed on them before. Sighing at the long journey of subservience they had endured I got up out of my chair.

"Yang you and the other 3 girls may live in my shadow for the time being. Your jobs will mostly include message and package delivery to the rest of my subjects, understood?" I said in a commanding yet nurturing voice.

"Yes my Queen," the mice woman all said before jumping into my shadow like it was a river.

|Notice: You will lose 0.01% of MP every hour a Shadow mouse lives in your shadow. However, you naturally regenerate 20 Mp a second.|

|Notice: -0.04% of MP|

I immediately noticed the loop that would be happening. 'System I will not need to be notified about the MP I lose from Yang and the others.'

|Notice: Understood|

'I would like to learn how to draw a Hell Merchant summoning circle though' I thought with an inner smile. Hopefully, this will take my mind off this recent clusterfuck.

|Notice: Downloading instruction to your consciousness now.|

Instantly felt a slight headache and then I suddenly had the knowledge needed to summon a demon.

"Awesome," Looking out the window I noticed that I was getting dark, and for the first day of my transmigration I'd say I handled it pretty well, so im going to sleep. Before that, though I sent Yang out to find Lilly and told her to wake me up if I was needed at all. Otherwise, wake me up at 8 AM tomorrow. After that, I climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.
