Arpious of the Planes

I wiped the blood off my hands before exiting the dungeon and clenching my fist so hard that frost began to gather on my knuckles.

All my stats were now a clean four hundred.

I almost have everything now, but the thing I want the most is to capture that bird and put her in a cage.

"Ah, birdy! You'll be mine! Birdy! You'll be mine!"

…

(Arpious POV)

It's a bit early, but I'm already traveling to another plane in order to settle some business which I honestly don't mind… besides the fact that this fucking shadow portal doesn't exactly know where it's going.

The assassin just opened the portal and told me to enter through in order to go to a plane a few planes below this one.

"This is so fucked," I muttered.

I had already told my family that I was going on a bit of a month-long trip, and so after a few nights of cuddling and surprisingly no sex, they finally let me go.

After a few more kisses and Hepha and Loki hugging me very tightly, I was finally off to the next plane.

And… my job was something you'd expect a weirdo like my brother dragon would do… and that's to seduce and bring the queen of succubi to our side.

She's the strongest demonic ruler within a few planes who has a large army, but the thing is, I have this title which makes me the enemy of succubi… So I'm not the best candidate for this job… but nobody else was willing, so of course, it was me.

Just because I like being dominated in bed doesn't mean I like to be a slave!

Even slave play can be a bit weird, so I rarely even do it or even do it all since it's so weird.

Plus, the one time I was a slave to a queen, I was forced to sit through a rush of aphrodisiacs while being chained to the wall.

It was a terrible time for me, and I'd rather not go through that again.

"Ugh, just stop complaining and go. It's not like the survival of the plane rides on your shoulders, but it sure would make this much easier," The dragon said, and I shot him a demonic glare before stepping in front of the shadow portal, dressed in my armor.

I looked like a powerful queen, especially with the newly crafted headpiece sitting atop my head, but now I was about to seduce a succubus.

"Fuck my life," I muttered before stepping through the portal.

…

The next thing I knew when I woke up was that I was sitting in a cell and was getting dragged to another cell by a large, thick metal collar around my neck.

I felt my status had been drained, my armor was taken away, and my mind was even a bit foggy.

All of a sudden, I was pushed into a line of a few other slaves made up of soft elven women and men, which I was a bit surprised by.

"Elves?" I muttered.

CRACK

But all of a sudden, a metal whip came cracking down onto my back, leaving me wincing in pain as my arms and legs were chained together.

Dammit. Status suppressing collars...

The metal collar around my neck was chained to the other collars around the other slaves behind and in front of me.

"You all will be selected by the Queen of Succubi, so make sure you don't embarrass yourself or us… otherwise, we'll all get killed," One of the demonic guards who had pitch-black skin and spiraling black horns said as he led us out of the muggy dungeon.

We were dragged and paraded through the streets like animals all the way until we reached a massive black palace.

Edgy taste… Well, I guess this also makes my job easier as I thought I would spend at least a week finding this queen.

Actually, I don't even know if this is the correct one so I'll just have to confirm.

We were brought to a throne room and my suspicions were immediately eradicated as the presence and pressure of this woman were probably on par with my brother when he is mad.

Who knew a succubus and dragon could be at the same level in terms of power.

Also, are those women next to her throne? Are they her wives or maybe pets? I wouldn't be surprised if they are pets due to the collars around their necks.

As the succubus took a close look at all of us, I just gave my best glare as the dragon said she likes feisty slaves since taming them was very fun.

I didn't like the sound of "taming," but for the sake of the mission, I decided to just follow through.

"Hm? A siren? Where'd you find a sire?" The succubus suddenly speaks up upon laying her eyes on me.

"We found her unconscious near the border of the kingdom, and we have made sure to inspect her well… but there was a slight problem," Another guard who brought us here spoke up, and he seemed to be the very head.

"What is this problem?" The succubus asks with an unbelievable amount of pressure.

"She wasn't injured in the slightest. Plus, her reason for being unconscious was unknown though we were able to verify that she wasn't faking,"

I mean, duh. Of course, I wasn't faking. I wasn't even awake until half an hour ago.

All of a sudden, the pressure surrounding the succubus increased tenfold, and I felt a chill get sent down my spine.

The few slaves beside me quivered in fear, and the pets next to the succubi's throne shifted behind it as I think they knew what was about to happen next.

Shit… This is bad.

I was panicking on the inside but gave my best deadpan face on the outside as revealing anything might make my situation worse.

"I never fucked with the sirens, so why are you here?" She asked, grabbing me by my collar and pulling me towards her.

Her aura bared its fangs towards me though I suddenly realized it was a bit bloated in order to appear more threatening.

Interesting…

Interesting…

As I didn't want to give out any unnecessary information, I just hinted that I wanted the slaves and other guards to leave, and despite my outward position, I sort of had the upper hand.

She didn't know if I was actually involved with the sirens, so she couldn't do anything about me until she learned the truth.

"Tch… Take them away," She said before breaking me off the long chain which held us, slaves, together.

Oh, a bit freer than before.

After seeing everybody but the pets leave, I just shrugged before explaining my situation.

"*sigh*... I have no relations with the Siren Kingdom. I evolved into a siren,"

"And you expect me to believe you?"

She was growing angrier and angrier by the second, and she gained a bit more confidence after hearing that I wasn't involved with the Siren Kingdom.

It's not like I couldn't hide it any longer anyway, as she could read minds, but only to a certain extent with the collars on.

The collars block not only the host's system but also some other skills which could affect the host via another person.

It was the price to pay for safety.

​​"No, but I would never dare to lie to my new Mistress," I responded with a large smile, and the succubus saw this as a taunt, so she only grew angrier.

"Well then… I guess you're the fighter the way you have such a feisty attitude… Taming you will be very fun,"

She calmed down a bit before saying this as she knew she was acting a bit immature and a bit too wary of somebody who is a slave.

Did she forget she was a queen? How funny.

She began to run her long fingernail across my face, serving as a warning to not do anything presumptuous of my position, so I just gave her another large smile.

I then noticed the elf pet hiding behind the chair and decided to try something out.

I quickly mouthed the words,

'Help me out, will you?'

I didn't expect anything from it, and it seemed the succubus noticed my trying to converse with the elf, so she instantly called her over.

"M-Mistress, she wanted to get my help," The elf immediately snitched on me, so I just rolled my eyes before glancing up at the menace above me.

"Oh, are you fearful of what I might do to you?" She asks, grabbing the collar on my neck and dragging me with unbelievable strength.

She then tossed me to the red-carpeted floor before she sat on her throne-like a natural ruler, and I admit it fit her very well.

"Let's see… How should I break you?"

I gave her a little smile before waiting for her next directions as I was curious.
