Second Prologue
Planet Mekrak.
This world possessed a civilization so advanced that it could freely travel between planets.
Yet in order to maintain a level of civilization that satisfied its people, the planet had been overexploited until its own energy reserves were nearly depleted.
Day by day the world grew more desolate, its deserts spreading. By the time Mekrak’s scientists realized the cause was energy exhaustion, less than ten percent of the planet’s surface remained habitable.
Reducing energy consumption now would do nothing to restore what had been lost. Nor could they bring themselves to lower the civilization level they had enjoyed for so long.
Once you have tasted something, it is terribly difficult to give it up.
But if things continued this way, the planet itself would die. No one could live on a dead world.
Abandon their comforts and lower their civilization level, or watch the world wither while they perished alongside it.
No one could decide between the two impossible choices.
Then one day, someone made a suggestion.
“If our planet lacks energy, we can simply take it from other worlds.”
It was a trash argument, yet almost no one opposed it.
Civilization is like a drug. Once experienced, it cannot be abandoned.
Thus they began their wars of invasion, traveling between stars.
In the end, they were the villains. They understood this perfectly and accepted the label.
While continuing their expansion into space, searching for suitable planets to replenish their energy, they fought and defeated intelligent lifeforms that tried to protect their worlds, plundering what they needed to sustain their mother planet. Several years ago, they discovered a planet called Earth.

“Let’s see… This quarter we’ve gathered quite a lot of magic power. With this much, I could invest in the new project we just started and still have enough left to restore some of the dead land. It would be nice to give a little more support to the slums as well, but I wonder if we have the leeway…”
In the capital of Mekrak, atop the highest floor of a massive, ornate building.
In an office that offered a clear view of the city glowing with multicolored lights even in the dead of night, a woman was flipping through holographic documents.
She was as white as the first snow of winter.
Her hair, her skin—everything was pure white. Even her eyes shone with a silvery-white light.
She wore a monocle over one eye, perhaps due to poor vision, and part of her long white hair was pinned up with a violet hairpin.
Twisted horns reminiscent of a demon sprouted from either side of her head.
She wore luxurious silk robes in gold and crimson, evoking the style of Eastern garments from Earth.
Despite the modest coverage of her clothing, her voluptuous figure gave off an unmistakably sensual impression, and the demonic horns only enhanced the effect.
Her beautiful face and perfectly proportioned body were wasted on the languid expression she wore as she scanned the passing holograms—various documents.
Even that sight was picturesque.
So many documents~~~~ I want to rest toooooo~~~~!
Every hologram that passed before her eyes was a document. All of them were for the sake of this planet and Mekrak.
While paper documents still existed, most work in Mekrak could be completed entirely through data.
Even stamping official seals or verifying identity could be done by recognizing the chip embedded in one’s body or the bioelectric current flowing through it. Important documents were stored in the central data aggregation entity known as Mother, so there was no worry of loss.
However, because the technology was so convenient, the fact that one could work anywhere, anytime, was both a blessing and a curse.
They even make me work during baths, saying it’s urgent… Well, if it’s truly urgent, that’s one thing… Yeah. It can’t be helped.
Still, she couldn’t help feeling buried in work.
The woman let out a sigh.
Yet if someone didn’t do the work, this race would slowly wither and perish. She couldn’t simply cast it all aside.
“Alright, let’s focus on work again~.”
Just as she tried to motivate herself, a knock sounded at the door.
“Come in~.”
Who could it be? Hopefully not someone here to report more work. She hoped it wasn’t someone who had come in person because she hadn’t replied to their mail.
Thinking this, she turned toward the door—only to reflexively jerk her head aside.
Where her neck had been, a gloved hand thrust forward.
The crackling sound told her that if it had touched her, something terrible would have happened.
“Oh my… You dodged?”
“—Who are you?!”
Crash!
Splash—!
Kicking away her chair and desk, the woman hurriedly put distance between them.
Behind the backrest of the chair where she had been sitting moments ago—where no one should have been—stood a man wearing a mask and a tall top hat, with the air of a magician.
“Greetings. I am the phantom thief Lupin. Heh heh, you may not know me. It doesn’t matter if you don’t.”
Lupin removed his hat and bowed deeply, like a nobleman paying respects.
“It is a pleasure to meet you, Queen of Mekrak.”
* * *
“You attacked knowing I am the Queen?”
“Who knows? What do you think?”
“If you’re going to play games, at least choose the time and place. Otherwise you’ll really die.”
“Haha, how terrifying. As an all-purpose entertainer, I can hardly handle this.”
Despite his words, Lupin—his face half-hidden by a mask—smiled brightly without a trace of fear.
The sight was strangely irritating, but the Queen calmly observed her opponent.
This place was the heart of Mekrak—its headquarters, so to speak.
Naturally, it was protected by the most advanced security systems this developed civilization could provide, along with Guarders to detect and stop any intruders.
Yet he’s here after breaking through all of that.
That meant he was quite the formidable opponent.
Enough to attack even while knowing what the Queen represented.
“Heh heh… It’s been quite a while since I’ve had something like this.”
The woman laughed with genuine amusement.
“It has been nearly a hundred years since I became Queen. I can’t even remember the last time someone dared to defy me.”
“Were there many? Opponents who came at you?”
“Who knows. Objectively speaking, there were quite a few. Enough to build a mountain with their corpses, at any rate.”
“I see. And what happened to all those people?”
“I killed them. Obviously.”
As if savoring the memory, the woman narrowed her eyes.
A change came over her.
Her white hair, reminiscent of the first snow of winter, gradually darkened to pitch black. Her eyes followed suit.
Like a bottomless swamp, or an abyss from which there was no escape—an absolute jet black that seemed to swallow even light itself.
Those ominous obsidian eyes gazed at Lupin with delight.
“Very well. Come at me with everything you have. Entertain me. I only hope you won’t fall so easily.”
Surrounding herself with visibly surging magic power, the Queen looked down at Lupin with unwavering arrogance and a leisurely smile.
—And roughly one hour later.
Creak, creak…!
Ang! Ugh… Ahang…! Euhang…!
“Your Majesty, you must try harder.”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah…! Just a moment… Wait…!”
“I’m afraid not. You need to tighten up more.”
“Hwaaaah~~~!?!!!!”
The woman once called the Queen was now on all fours like a dog before Lupin, moaning like a broken recorder.
Her tightly closed pink slit was being repeatedly penetrated by Lupin’s erect member.
Her luxurious silk robes were disheveled, exposing her skin. The monocle she had worn had flown off during the earlier battle, leaving her bare face completely exposed.
This Queen crying out in pleasure before Lupin was the supreme leader of Mekrak and the one called its strongest individual.
Their battle had been fierce. Realizing Lupin was no ordinary opponent, the Queen had fought with everything she had.
Yet the result was an absurdly hollow defeat.
The quality and quantity of his magic power were unbelievable for a mere phantom thief, along with his inexplicable strange tentacles.
On top of that, the various gimmicks and tools he had prepared in advance left the Queen with no choice but to admit defeat.
The defeated Queen.
The ultimate fruit that no one had ever tasted before.
Lupin was not the sort of man to leave her be. In the ruined office, he began to violate her on the spot.
T-This is strange~~~! There’s no way I should be feeling like this~~~!
“People in high positions are generally quite lewd, aren’t they? Indeed, it makes perfect sense that Your Majesty, seated at the very top, would be so depraved.”
“N-Nooo… Ngh… J-Just wait…”
“I refuse.”
Lupin thrust his hips, driving his member even deeper.
Squelch…!
“~~~~~~~~~~!”
When her cervix was firmly pressed, the Queen let out a high-pitched cry as pleasure shot up her spine and pierced her brain.
Love juices leaked from where they were joined.
“Mmm, what a lovely reaction. It seems Your Majesty enjoys it here.”
A puddle had already formed beneath the Queen from the fluids that kept flowing out.
Her plump buttocks and the full breasts pressed against the floor swayed slightly each time Lupin moved. In contrast, her smooth waist occasionally trembled as if trying to endure the pleasure.
Enticed by that sight, Lupin slapped her buttocks without hesitation.
Every time his hand struck, the vaginal walls wrapped around his shaft tightened deliciously.
“D-Don’t hit me…!”
“Oh? But it feels so good.”
“I-I’m not enjoying this…”
“Then you should start enjoying it.”
With those nonsensical words, Lupin persistently spanked her buttocks. Her once-pale skin quickly turned bright red.
She had been the Queen who stood above everyone.
Yet now she was suffering this humiliation.
B-But… this feels good too… What should I do…
Creak, creak, slap, slap…!
“Your Majesty, you’re about to come again.”
“Aaah, ah…! Ngh…! Nooo…!”
“Now now, where do you think you’re trying to run?”
Lupin’s hands firmly gripped the struggling Queen’s waist.
Ah, no. It wasn’t just Lupin—she felt like she was about to come too. Pleasure was building to the point where she was teetering on the edge of climax.
Ugh… This cock feels too good…
“Now, I’m coming.”
Lupin drove his shaft deep into her.
A hot sensation surged from her lower abdomen. She could feel his member swelling inside her, followed by the sensation of thick semen being pumped in—glurk glurk glurk!
“Ughhh…! Ah, aaaaaah~~~~~~……!!!”
Overwhelmed by the pleasure flooding her womb, the Queen clutched the rug beneath her, trembling in orgasm. Her toes curled tightly.
Her face, flushed red whether from shame or pleasure, melted in ecstasy.
At the same time, she felt something being sucked out of her body with a shhhrrrk. Several strands of her once-black hair returned to their original white.
My magic power is being drained…
As proof, Lupin’s presence as he violated her grew even stronger.
If this continued, he would eventually steal all of her magic power.
If Lupin—already difficult to defeat at full strength—also took the magic power of Mekrak’s former strongest…
Who could possibly stop this man then?
“Now then, let’s continue.”
“H-Hiik?! You just came, didn’t you?! I just came too…!”
“Heh heh, do you not know how virile the phantom thieves of Mekrak are, Your Majesty? In this state, I can ejaculate at least twenty more times without rest.”
“T-Twenty…?! N-No, I can’t endure that much…”
“You must endure, Your Majesty. Hold on. Until the magic power inside you is completely drained—and even after it’s empty, you must continue to be my plaything.”
“Y-You bastard…! Hiiiik…!!!!”
Once again, when her weak point—the cervix—was deeply struck, the Queen let out a loud moan.
Lupin flipped her over, kneaded her trembling breasts, and flicked the erect peaks with his fingers.
Each time, the Queen twisted her body from the sharp jolts of pleasure.
“From now on, I am the king. I shall rule Mekrak. I will discard all the lukewarm old rules and plunder the entire galaxy with full force. Heh, heh heh heh… Aren’t you looking forward to it, Your Majesty?”
“I-If you do that… Mekrak will become the enemy of the entire galaxy… Ngh… Even internally… the balance… N-No… We must… maintain the line… Ahh…!”
“Heh heh, we’ll see how it turns out. Please watch closely, former Queen.”
Lupin laughed deeply.
“Well, now you’re no longer the Queen—just a simple sex slave, my plaything.”
“Y-You…!”
Though the Queen tried to glare, Lupin’s thrusts quickly reduced her to a moaning mess.
Lupin laughed with delight as he continued to violate the former Queen.
* * *
On this day, the supreme leader of Mekrak changed.
At the same time, most of the old rules the Queen had established were overturned. With the new rules and governance that cried out for freedom, the phantom thieves were convinced that a new era had begun.
All of this happened three days before Kei crossed over to Mekrak.
