Conquering Heroines: Starting From A World Of Zombies

"No matter how you look at it, Ryuji doesn't exactly seem like someone weak, pitiful, and helpless... though, I guess right now, he kind of does."

Elsa had initially wanted to defend Ryuji, but when she looked down at his current state, she hesitated—then simply nodded at Toph.

There was no helping it. Ryuji looked far too drained at the moment.

"You little..." Looking at Toph's guilty expression, Ryuji didn't know how to respond—because truthfully, he did look weak, pitiful, and helpless right now.

But the real issue was that Alexstrasza, like him, had seemingly been accepted by this world after collecting fragments of it. That meant she could come back very soon. In other words, his time to rest was very limited.

"Forget it. Talking to you won't help."Ryuji looked at Toph and shook his head. It wasn't realistic to expect her to side with him now—after all, her eyesight had only returned thanks to Alexstrasza. Anyone would feel grateful for that.

So he couldn't blame her.

"This is just one of those hopeless situations, huh... Alright, let's try talking him into it later. I mean, just look at him. He looks totally wrecked."

Toph crossed her arms, watching Ryuji. From what she could see, he was completely limp against Elsa, radiating an aura of utter defeat.

"There's no need for that. It's actually a good thing if you all return soon. Alexstrasza seems eager to leave anyway—sending you back along the way makes sense."

Ryuji sighed. The problem was that Alexstrasza's reasoning was too logical. Given the world's strange rules, she really could gather all the energy she needed in a single day.

The food here directly restored stamina through the world's system. If it weren't for the lack of taste and the blocky, unsettling visuals everywhere, this world wouldn't be half bad. Besides, there were no other people around. It was quiet.

And more than anything—Alexstrasza's intentions were genuinely proper and serious. So much so that Ryuji couldn't find a reason to say no.

He had resigned himself to it.

Though she'd absolutely drained him dry, to the point that he questioned whether ecstasy was even worth it anymore, he had to admit—Alexstrasza, with her vast experience and body that remained tight despite everything, was incredibly satisfying.

Her internal structure was... unforgettable.

It was just too good. Their levels were worlds apart, which meant he couldn't even fully enjoy it at his own pace.

"I see..." Elsa quietly placed a hand over her chest. Compared to Alexstrasza, she felt plain—whether it was her figure or her aura, she couldn't help but feel overshadowed.

"Don't worry, Elsa. I'll come see you."

Ryuji gave her a wink. He didn't yet know how much world energy it would take to locate Elsa's timeline once she returned, but as long as there was a way, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Mm. Promise me you will."

Elsa looked shy. She really liked being with Ryuji. But the reality was, she had to go back—so things weren't exactly perfect.

Honestly, she would have loved to stay in this world with him. After all, she could get food by doing that. And since she'd already started to feel at home here thanks to Ryuji, it wasn't impossible to imagine living in this world. Letting Anna inherit the throne didn't sound so bad anymore.

But she didn't want her little sister to worry. Besides, Anna wasn't ready to deal with complex political issues yet—especially not with so many foreign diplomats currently in Arendelle.

"I will. Definitely."

Ryuji nodded. He wouldn't visit immediately, but it was only a matter of time. After all, he was curious: did her world have something like a genie in a magic lamp? If it did, even if he couldn't take it with him, it could still offer enormous advantages.

The treasures and food in a fairytale world? He really wanted to try those.

As Elsa gazed happily at Ryuji, Alexstrasza returned. She spread her arms, and a shower of pixelated meat chunks tumbled off her—immediately absorbed into Ryuji's body.

"Looks like you all got along quite well. And Ryuji, you were right. This world's rules really are strange. I've gained the ability to interact with it just by slaying some of its monsters."

Alexstrasza found this world fascinating. A place where anyone could freely set and edit its parameters—like teaching baby Titans how to shape and manage a world.

If Ryuji had been stronger, she might've even mistaken him for a Titan. But unfortunately, no matter how weak a Titan might be, they'd never be this weak.

"Well, I'm glad my guess was right."

Ryuji glanced at the hundreds of raw meat blocks in his MC-style backpack. Just as he started placing them in the furnace to cook, Alexstrasza suddenly picked him up again.

"Alright. While they're grilling, let's continue."

She gave him a smile.

She was really in a hurry to go home.

Ryuji: "..."

Thus, Ryuji was drained once again. This time, at least, he had some breaks in between—and he replenished his strength and nutrients with plenty of food from the Minecraft world.

Then, he resumed doing that with Alexstrasza.

But what left Ryuji in utter despair was—

Despite clearly enjoying it, Alexstrasza… never reached climax. Not once.

No matter how many times Ryuji finished, no matter how long he held out, no matter how quickly he recovered—just seconds after each round—the result was always the same. For an entire day, Alexstrasza handled everything he threw at her with the grace and ease of a seasoned general, completely unshaken.

It felt like he was a low-level player trying to chip away at a boss with a health bar in the tens of thousands—and healing a thousand points per second. It was hopeless. Completely impossible to defeat.

And so, by the time midnight came, with every last drop of his energy burned away, Ryuji finally gathered the necessary energy points.

But he was also… thoroughly defeated.

"Is it finally enough?"

Alexstrasza looked down at Ryuji, who was lying against her chest, gently suckling on her breast. She couldn't help but ask for confirmation again. Ryuji clearly loved her breasts, and honestly, that pleased her. If they weren't pressed for time, she would've allowed her chest to lactate a little, giving him nutrition and enhancing his recovery.

But now wasn't the time—they needed results.

She gently caressed her lower abdomen. Truthfully, she had enjoyed it too. But like with all her previous mortal partners, Ryuji just didn't have the stamina to keep up.

Such was the fate of the Life-Binder: no ordinary dragon—or man—could ever truly satisfy her.

Still, the sheer amount Ryuji had released filled her womb with his essence. It made her blush faintly, as it had been a very long time since she felt so full.

There was an odd comfort in it. A strange warmth. Sadly, his seed wasn't compatible with her physiology—it wouldn't produce life. Her body would soon absorb it as energy.

And that… that saddened her. As someone who cherished life, the idea of wasted potential always brought her regret.

Ryuji nodded wearily. At last, it was over. While the process had certainly brought immense pleasure—and the game's healing mechanics and her dragonflame allowed him to last a full day—it was still a taxing ordeal.

A thrilling one, sure, but ultimately… draining.

"Then, you should send those girls home first," Alexstrasza said, her tone gentle but firm. "I still have matters to attend to."

She raised her hand and conjured a shimmering shard of World Force, handing it to him.

"Take this. I can feel the immense power inside, but I'm unable to use it myself. Still, my instincts tell me—you can."

The moment Ryuji touched the shard, it melted into his body. Just as she said, an unfamiliar power surged within him.

Something inside him had changed.

He instinctively opened his interface, and sure enough, he found the answer.

One of his core skills—Firekeeper—had leveled up. And its description had changed. 

•Firekeeper – Level 2: You are the one who saves the broken worlds. You can use fragments of a destroyed world to reconstruct it.

You can now sense other World Shards and, through their power, travel to parallel worlds.

But remember: You are a savior, not a traveler. You cannot journey to a world unless a shard from it is present.

Currently Registered World: 7 Days to Die(Restoration requires 999,999,999,999,999,999 World Power)

"Interesting…" Ryuji murmured as he read the new description. It meant he could now access even more worlds—more freely than ever before.

But even as he held the shard in hand, he felt no connection to other fragments. Clearly, there were none left in this world.

"Did it help you?" Alexstrasza asked softly, her voice filled with warmth.

Ryuji nodded. "Yes, it did. Thank you."

"I'm glad. You've carried a heavy burden for my sake. Now, go—send those two girls home, and return to me afterward. I'll reward you… generously."

Her tone was motherly, tender. Too tender—it made Ryuji feel a bit awkward.

He stepped out of the house, the scent of rhododendron clinging faintly to his clothes. Outside, Elsa and Toph were waiting. They looked sleepy, but perked up the moment they saw him.

"So… you've charged up your energy?" Toph asked, raising a brow when she noticed he hadn't been carried out by Alexstrasza.

"Exactly. Time to send you two home."

He extended his hand.

"Who wants to go first?"

He felt a little regretful. He had hoped to spend more time with these girls—and use this world's unique mechanics to train a bit more.

But Alexstrasza was simply… too strong.

"I'll go," Elsa said, stepping forward. She placed her soft, cool hand in his.

Though her legs were still a little shaky, she could move again. Her large blue eyes looked into his, filled with complicated emotions.

She didn't think she was in love yet. She didn't even regret what had happened before Alexstrasza arrived. Even if given another chance, she would've chosen to sleep with Ryuji again—not just because he was the only one who could touch her, but because…

It had felt good. In every sense.

"Well then, Princess," Ryuji said, smiling gently as he opened his system interface.

"Mm." Elsa leaned in and kissed him on the lips just as he activated the teleportation.

"Be sure to come find me again. And thank Alexstrasza for me. I… don't want to see her myself." She said looking at Ryuji and felt somewhat resentful towards Alexstrasza, so she had no plans to meet her. 

"I will," Ryuji promised.

As her figure faded, he saw another girl who looked just like Elsa rush forward from the other side and hug her tightly.

Elsa turned back and waved one last time before the portal fully closed.

"Alright, your turn," Ryuji said, turning to Toph.

He'd joked about "ruining" her, but when he thought about her disability… he just couldn't bring himself to go through with it.

"Huh? You're not going to take my virginity?" Toph asked with genuine confusion. "I thought I pissed you off enough."

She folded her arms. "Well, if it's the Queen's will, then fine. But mark my words, Ryuji—I swear on my name as Toph, the day you come to my world, I'll give my virginity to you!"

She jabbed her thumb at her chest, then added with a cheeky grin:

"If you don't come, you're not a real man!"

"…What is wrong with you?" Ryuji muttered, exasperated.

"Relax," he smirked. "Just for that, I'll definitely come find you someday. Not even death will stop me."

Toph laughed, but then added, "Hold up. Don't send me back yet. I'm not like Elsa. I want to thank the Queen personally."

Ryuji rolled his eyes. She really was a piece of work. But fair was fair—he would find her later. Whether they slept together or not was another matter entirely.

Just as Toph stepped back inside, she suddenly felt something squish beneath her feet. She sniffed the air, then looked over her shoulder with a smirk.

"Wow, you really shot a lot. Must've been quick, huh?"

"You little—!" Ryuji smacked her on the head. Hard.

"Quick? You'll find out how long I last soon enough! Even if I'm sliced in half, I'll still make sure to sleep with you!"

And just to distract himself, he glanced at how many points it would take to visit Elsa's world again.

Then he froze.

100,000 energy points.

It wasn't exactly nearby.

While he was still processing that, Toph returned after sincerely thanking Alexstrasza.

She placed her hand in his. "Alright, send me home."

Without hesitation, Ryuji activated the return function. And just before she vanished, he glanced at her world's point cost.

Then—

[Travel to Toph (Avatar World): 50 points. Proceed?]

"Huh? Fifty points?" Ryuji blinked in disbelief.

He thought for a moment. If traveling from Toph's world to the Arad world turned out to be cheaper, then he could just use her world as a shortcut!

Fifty points wasn't a scam. It wasn't even a gamble. It was a deal!

He made up his mind—once Alexstrasza was sent off, he'd immediately head to Toph's world and check if it could help him return to Food Wars world and the Arad world more efficiently—faster, cheaper, and easier.

Although he was a little reluctant to part with the resources of the Minecraft world, he had no choice. The world was simply too empty—no humans, no civilization. If he stayed here too long, he might genuinely go insane.

So, since he had to leave eventually… might as well leave sooner rather than later.

With that thought in mind, Ryuji looked toward Alexstrasza, who was still gathering energy, and patiently waited for her response.

Before long, the power she had been summoning converged into a stream of radiant gold and crimson light, swirling elegantly around her. Once it stabilized, she stopped and smiled at him.

"To honor your selfless help—for me and for the other children—Ryuji, I, Alexstrasza, grant you the power of the guardian dragons. May you wield the Flame of Life of the Red Dragonflight!"

As she spoke, she gently cupped Ryuji's face and pressed her crimson lips to his.

The golden-red light swirled inward, flowing into Ryuji's body.

He instinctively opened his skill menu—and what he saw left him stunned.

His skill Magic Release (Fire) began to warp and transform as Alexstrasza's divine power flowed through him.
