Life is quite difficult, isn't it?I'm an aspiring manga artist. For a long time I've been enamored by the Japanese art despite not being Japanese, same as many others. I've being training my artistic abilities in both drawing and writing in the hopes of one day making my own manga, however at the moment all I can do is write.

Book preview

Prologue.

Excuse me, my lord. A voice said, disturbing the silence of the dimly lit room.

… Sigh… don’t you know not to bother me in my private time? Seeing the communication window appearing, he stood up.

Behind him he left three females on a bed, their eyes closed, their bodies covered in sweat. The call came at the right moment giving them a chance to catch their breath, but even though they were glad they were allowed a bit of rest, in their hearts they all begged him to come back.

I apologize f-

What do you want? He interrupted, pouring himself a glass as he sat down on his chair.

… We have received some interesting piece of info from our contact in the twenty first sector.

The twenty first, you say? His eyes narrowed in clear displeasure. What now? Are the Zesioniens up to something?

We aren’t sure about that yet. Apparently they gave up the ownership of a newly discovered planet to some no name synth.

The words newly discovered opened his eyes. But after a second of thought questions began to form.

They gave it up? A planet right in the middle of their territory? He asked. It didn’t make sense at all.

Why would the Zesionien empire throw away an entire planet? It’s not as if their forces are being spread too thin. Maybe they fear the rest of the Union not liking their expansion.

Which planet is it? Is it inhabitable? He asked, expecting it to be a lifeless desert with no notable resources.

Yes. The planet in question is Gorgola. It’s registered as a dead planet with a gravitational field which rendered all exploration efforts impossible. However it seems that has changed recently.

I see…

A planet at the center of the Zesionien territories owned by a single synth. It’s almost too good to believe. Does this synth have a connection with empire? Or is it a puppet? The later sounded more believable

Most likely they left it to him just to keep up appearances with the intention of reclaiming it when the right time comes. If that is the case, then in all likelihood they won’t attempt to colonize it yet. A chance to exploit, he now understood what made such news worthy of disrupting his time with his wives. Still, it is the Zesioniens they’re talking about. He couldn’t proceed carelessly. If he intends to take the planet for himself, careful planning is needed.

Don’t you have any more details? How did a dead planet suddenly become inhabitable?

Such occurrences aren’t unheard of. There are quite a few places that would surprise anyone with the way they were colonized. But those things don’t happen overnight. Usually it takes years if not decades for an uninhabitable planet to be prepared to support life.

The voice on the other side of the screen seemed a bit confused.

It appears there was some… natural disaster, they said. When a team was sent to investigate they found out that the gravitational field disappeared and the planet became accessible. Also, they said that a young Zesioniens warrior was stranded on its surface along with the synth, which makes it even more suspicious.

A young Zesionien warrior? The words ruined the taste of his drink. They already have the perfect excuse to claim the planet yet the chose to give it to the synth. This can get any more confusing. It’s as if they’re actively avoiding involvement in this matter. Does their decision have something to do with the natural disaster? If it’s something big enough to change a planet and the Zesioniens are trying to avoid it, could it be…

If I remember right, we have Giran stationed there. Have him investigate further. It was just a hunch, but whether it’s on the mark or not his decision didn’t change.

Yes

Tell him to get the key if he has the chance. And tell the bridge to turn the ship around. We are going to twenty first sector.

Understood.

Also, send word for all branches to gather. We might go to war.

… yes, my lord.

With the orders given. The communication ended. He rested on the back of his chair and contemplated. There is a new planet and its owner is a synth. The Zesioniens clearly have their eyes on it, but they avoided making a big move. Then there is the natural disaster.

They’re afraid… he murmured to himself. … Is it possible… no, it’s most likely her…

He looked to his side. There were no windows in this room. Only a wall sized screen showing the scenery outside. Watching the stars in the distance he reminisced about how far they’ve come. His gut was telling him, only a little more.

At long last, the Verta clan will regain its glory.

Chapter One: Possessed By a Ghost.

Part one.

Sector twenty one, the ZSFCO 0303 search and rescue craft alpha 02, Lilia.

After fighting it for so long, I let the suppressed sleepiness out through a long yawn. My eyes struggled to stay open.

Seven doesn’t seem to share this state, sitting there silently facing a wall. Sometimes he would look at his palm, opening and closing a few times before turning static again.

It doesn’t take much to understand what’s on his mind, and I can’t say it wasn’t on mine either. As I’m forcefully reminded of what happened my whole body heats up and I instinctively cover face with both hands.

Uuu….

It was so sudden I couldn’t react. First he stole my lips then started touching me in places I usually don’t like to be touched. I know it’s my fault for not resisting but… with his hands on my rear and our mouths connected all the power in my body drained and I couldn’t back away.

He even stripped me and did that to my breasts! If we didn’t receive that call we could’ve gone further, we would’ve ended up doing it!

Sure, I made it clear that after we slept together that night we were husband and wife, but child making this early in our relationship? I never considered it happening any time soon!

If we didn’t get that call…

I turned around once more to see how he is doing and found out he was about to look my way. Our eyes met, his face went red and he shifted away before I could.

Wait, what was that just now? That’s somewhat… cute?

No no no no…

This is Seven we’re talking about, a master at masking his emotions. Unless that craziness takes over him and he starts yelling and punching things he is always calm and collected. Surely he wouldn’t let his embarrassment show on his face. Does he even feel embarrassed?

Well, it wasn’t that long since we met, I shouldn’t form ideas based on what little I know about him. Contrary to my thoughts, Seven could be a really shy person who finds females hard to deal with. Although because he barely lets out any reactions it’s nearly impossible to guess, and the aggressiveness in which he pushed me down and…

Uuu… I need to calm down, my imagination goes wild just from remembering it.

I wonder since when was he holding it in? If he took what I said back then as an approval, then without much hesitation embraced me, that means he has been thinking of doing those thing to me the whole time. It bothers me a little thinking that that’s all he might have wanted from the start. I know that I’m basically forcing him to be with me, but I hope our marriage is more than just a passing desire to reproduce.

Was it because we were the only two there? Would those feelings change now that we safely escaped?

Worrying about it won’t do anything.

It’s too late now. From the time our lips touched we were bond as husband and wife and I don’t plan on letting go of him any time soon.

~◇~

Sector twenty one, the ZSFCO 0303 search and rescue craft alpha 02, Seven.

So, I kissed a girl.

I kissed a girl…

I KISSED A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, after more than a hundred years, FINALLY!!!

Really? That’s what you are happy about?

She was soft!!! Really, really soft! In my hands, I felt she would break if I used a little more strength. With what she showed during our training and when fighting the night crawlers I thought she would have a more firm built, but she had no muscles at all! Her white skin felt as smooth as it looked, her thighs and breasts as well! I wanted to taste them a little more!

I gulp down, then stare at my hand, opening and closing again and again. Did I maybe cross too many lines? I took her word literally and jumped right into the action, but perhaps I should have held back a little.

Again, what are you talking about?

I’m sure I didn’t misheard her saying something that meant we are a married couple now, but going so far as fondling her soft, bouncy ass and sucking her bare breasts…

Shh not again! Whenever I remember it my little guy gets big.

Now I have to face the wall most of the time to hide the embarrassing protrusion in my pants.

Calm down, calm down.

I took in a deep breath.

Her lips, they were the best part. I feel like I got enslaved by them, even though I got to touch places I always longed for –mainly her thighs- the only thing I could think of at the time were her lips.

Aaaaah!

Lilia. We lived together for a short period and of course I was attracted by her outstanding beauty, but in the end she managed to steal my heart with a single kiss! She is more than anything I’ve ever imagined! Is it really okay for a loser like me to be with such a wonderful girl? Do I really deserve the happiness of her being by my side?

Lilia…

I’m sure back on earth, even with all the games, manga and anime I went through –even though I don’t remember most of them- I would never have imagined an alien girl would show up and change my life. Wanting to confirm it wasn’t a dream I slowly turned to take another look at her. Man, she is so beautiful. Her golden hair, her bare shoulders, the short skirt revealing her white thighs stuffed into those thigh highs.

Her lips…

I really want to kiss her again.

Then why don’t you just go and get done with it?

As I stared at her profile Lilia suddenly looked my way. I naturally avoided her eyes and faced the wall, hoping she didn’t notice for how long I was staring at her.

You know you haven’t been staring that long, right?

…

You really are bad in those aspects aren’t you?

…

And you’re blushing too, she probably noticed that.

….

Well, it’s quite funny watching you acting all shy at the start of your relationship, but if neither of you makes a move things won’t progress.

…

She is your wife so you don’t have to hold back, you know?

…

I took another deep breath, closed my eyes and let my heart calm down. When my underwear no longer felt tight I raise my head and faced the wall once more.

So… I wasn’t just hallucinating, huh?

Part two.

It took you this long to admit my existence? How harsh.

The first thing to do when seeing a ghost is to not admit you’re seeing a ghost, that’s basic knowledge. But this isn’t the first time you showed yourself. Right, Iris?

Standing in front of me, or should I say floating in front of me, is a girl with short blue hair golden eyes. She wore a dress with a design similar to those Lilia wore. Her face is cute, however beside being a bit short her body is too thin and even considering my preferences I couldn’t help but feel disappointed when looking at her flat-

Hey… looking down at me with death in her eyes she asked. You were about to call me flat weren’t you?

Well, I don’t know what else I should-

Without me noticing my left hand moved on its own directing a punch to my face.

Now, tell me again why you are disappointed?

So… you can read my mind…

I can read your mind

You should have told me earlier.

You should’ve realized it sooner.

You also can control my body.

A little, yeah.

So it was you that time at the grave.

Yeah.

And last night.

Show some gratitude. If I didn’t lend you a hand you would have never advanced a single step.

So it was really you.

Yes it was really me.

What a pain. So, are you really Iris?

The ghost sighed, rubbing her temples. Well, I can’t just say I’m her now that I have died. It is more appropriate to put it as I was the one they called Iris.

Hmm… does that explain why instead of horns like Lilia you have…

No it does not. Are you an idiot?

Then?

haaah… She let out another long sigh. I don’t understand myself. Same as when you are born, you don’t get a guide book after your death. She closed her eyes saying nothing for a whole minute. If I have to guess, Verta is the cause.

What?

Like I said, it’s hard to explain. Right now I’m using a part of your mind. Inhabiting it in other words.

So, you’re admitting you possessed me, right?

Not on purpose, got it? I have nothing to apologize for.

Yeah yeah.

I will explain what happened now. Since I don’t understand most of it I would appreciate it if you kept your questions to yourself. The girl called Iris, or her ghost to be exact, sat down with her back facing mine. She silently hugged her knees for a while before beginning the story.

I remember most of what happened after our ship crushed, at least until I could no longer open my eyes. I then spent a long period somewhere so dark with nothing to see. I don’t even know how long it was. Stopping to gather her thoughts she then followed. It was a nightmare I couldn’t do anything about. But I knew Lilia did survive so I felt at ease. I heard her sigh again, but this time she sounded more relieved than annoyed. I could tell a smile was forming on her lips. Anyways, I don’t know for how long I was in that place. It felt like years floating in the darkness, unable to feel anything. But then one day I opened my eyes and realized, I had eyes!

I looked at her from over my shoulder. Did she lose a few screws along the way?

Okay, listen, when I was in that dark space I couldn’t feel anything, that means whenever I tried moving my limbs, mouth or eyes I couldn’t. But suddenly I was able to, like waking up after having that kind of dream.

Sleep paralysis?

No, not like that. It’s more like being disconnected from the physical world. I had no way of telling how large that dark space was or even if it existed. However at some point I started seeing lights, and when I tried approaching one of them I learned that I could move. When I reached the first one I realized I had eyes. I also had paws instead of hands, fur covered my entire body and finally, a tail.

What the f-?

Yes, somehow I ended up becoming Verta.

That time I reincarnated as a giant electric tiger.

Something like that.

Wait, you understand that reference?

We share one brain, I can easily tap into your memories.

Then…

If it’s something you yourself can’t remember then I can’t look into it as well.

Are you perhaps the cause behind my memory lose?

Loading another soul into one’s body would surely exhaust the available storage space.

I don’t think so. They were lost before I moved in after all.

Really?

Really. Back to the point. I wasn’t too happy about being a monster but I was satisfied with being able to move around at least. or so I thought before finding out I was sealed in that cave.

Talk about bad luck.

You know nothing. I tried and tried but I couldn’t get out. That’s when an idea came to me. If I was able to move into that body maybe I can move into something else, and like that I made the jump toward the second light. That’s how I ended up inside you.

Why me?

Coincidence. Right after I left Verta’s body I lost most of the strength I had and I couldn’t fully take over, and that bring us to now.

That still doesn’t explain the ears and tail. The whiskers are just plain weird too.

I didn’t choose this you know. Spending all that time in its body may have had some effect on my mental image.

If it’s the tiger tail and ears then it should be alright, but the whiskers… Did you try removing them?

No…

What are you waiting for?

Nothing.

With a little hesitation she moved her hand and tried pulling them. I expected it to take some time but they were off without much effort. Now she looks just like the stereotypical cat-girl you see in anime and games.

I hope they don’t grow back anytime soon. She said watching the whiskers vanish in her hand.

No one can see you so it’s fine.

Shamelessly saying that, do you want to hit yourself again?

No thank you. So, what happened after you possessed me?

Nothing. I slept for a while and woke up soon after you. I had to watch you do stupid things, unable to say anything. It took all my strength to give you that little push when Lilia cried.

If that was a little push then what do you call yesterday?

Oh? Are you complaining now. Seriously, if you weren’t like that you wouldn’t be such a disappointment. Why did you wait that long to make a move on her? I’m sure Lilia wouldn’t have minded. I mean, you were alone, together on an uninhabited planet with no means of escape and no promise of rescue. The obvious thing to do in that situation is to try and make some babies! Even if you are from two different species you probably could pass both your genes and-

Wait! Even if you say that I couldn’t just force myself on her!

What are you saying? Lilia was probably looking forward to it too! She is an adult and must have had some interest in those things for quite a while!

I didn’t think about that at all. I fantasized for a moment about a scene were the lovely Lilia looked at me, blushing while saying she can’t handle it any longer.

That wouldn’t happen, not in a million years. The ghost said, waving a dismissive hand.

You saw that too?

Lilia isn’t that kind of girl. Stop being a disappointment and be the first to move!

Hmmmm…

What?

You seem really excited about this. Not only can read my mind, but you expect me to do those things with her while you are watching?

Don’t worry. She weightlessly floated through the air until she was in front of me once again. Holding a thumb up she added. I won’t tell anyone.

Although she tried to keep her perfect poker face, the slight red on her cheeks betrayed her. That’s when I began to have this question. Is Iris just a pervert?

Part three.

Sector twenty one, planet Gorgola, Iris.

I will be back, Iris.

Who would have thought that watching someone talk to your grave would be this painful.

Lilia, together with her new human friend, was making a last visit before leaving the planet. A last farewell. Even though I’m coming along, being forced to watch this scene unable to do anything breaks the heart. Lilia turns my, his way, the weak smile on her face brought tears to my eyes. Before I realize it she started walking away.

Are you okay? Asked Seven, the human male I’m currently sharing a body with.

Yeah… I’m fine. I answered silently.

He looked at the grave. His thoughts are laud and clear to me, and I could tell he was waiting for a sign. Idiot or not, this human noticed my existence and theorized my current state from what little happened here the other day. What makes him an idiot is his ignorance, thinking I would stay behind when I’m able to tag along.

Not that I can choose. I’m trapped with the human whether I like it or not, forced to spectate unable to do anything.

It takes a lot of lightning to completely take control of this body. It lasts for just a few seconds and I fell asleep almost immediately the first time I did it so I can’t just switch places whenever I want. Although after the fight with Verta I don’t have to be so conservative. Not only did we absorb a lot of lightning but we also acquired a small part of the beast which generates a miniature amount periodically. Thanks to that I later discovered that I can temporarily leave Seven’s body and floating around in something akin to an astral form.

That said I still can’t influence the outside world without a physical body. Which is why I had to take control of the human to give him the push he needed once more. Lilia was feeling down after the lab was destroyed so I thought that would help her cheer up.

That’s right. All I wanted was to help Lilia, make her relax. I had no weird intentions like watching them get it on. Though even after doing my best to keep my eyes closed I couldn’t help but take a peek at the recording when it was done. Sadly the alarm rang when things started to heat and with the rescue team on the way the two just sat there in awkward silence.

Aaahhh! like always Lilia is such a cutie when blushing! This is the first time I see her in this red!

Ho-ho, it seems Seven here plans on doing it with Lilia several times. I wonder how many kids he is planning to make? That may be a problem for the upcoming future…

After waiting several hours the help finally arrived. We boarded a ship of about the same size as mine to another craft which then took us to the ZSFCO 0303. The whole trip was two days long. During that flight I revealed myself to Seven and after much effort he finally acknowledged my existence. I really didn’t understand why he ignored me when he already knew I was the one helping him so far.

Anyways. The ZSFCO, or the Zesionien Space Fleet Center of Operations. I only saw this model in books, but describing the size of such crafts with words pales when one is standing in front of the real thing. The Zesionien fleet has many of those placed around the space sectors under its rule. Although they are referred to as space ships they are more like the space stations Seven just thought of, only tens of times larger. Basically a whole city floating through the void.

Greeting us at the landing ground was a female Zesionien in a military uniform surrounded by twenty or so soldiers. She had a small badge hanging from the pocket on her left breast that reads vice commander.

Lilia looked relived to meet another Zesionien after so long while Seven imagined the muscled soldiers doing JoJo poses –it’s weird that the few things he can remember are meme related-. One thing we agreed on is that the vice commander wasn’t nearly as cute as Lilia.

Seven’s thoughts became alarming while he looked around with his usual expressionless face. The female smiled and spoke in a friendly manner, although clearly on edge.

Welcome aboard the Zesionien Space Fleet Center of Operation number 0303, we were glad to learn the news of your survival, lady Lilia Stoneheart. She then turned my, or rather Seven’s way. And your companion…

Lilia was about to say something, but Seven stepped forward raising his hand a little stopping her.

First of all, could you ask your men to lower their guns? He said in a monotone voice. When talking like this Seven felt intimidating, even for a human. That’s what pushed the soldiers who were on standby to heighten their guard and point their guns at him.

At the moment several armor piercing artillery were pointed at us from a
