continue this. Lillet woke up, her head spinning slightly, she remembered falling on her pillow and this...just happened. Her fingers twitched on the armrest, her crimson eyes opened and a magnificent amount of light made itself appear to her.
She was surrounded by a dark forest filled with remnants of what she would presume to be a ruined castle. "Did I get Isekai'd... that's completely normal."
She was sarcastic but u bothered by it she wondered why. She then raised her hand and tapped the air with her black nails, a mirror appeared in front of her and she blinked. "....oh..no?!!,.I am the queen of an evil Kingdom?!!."
Lillet stood from the throne and grabbed her head. "Damn it, why am I Isekai'd into this god forsaken world, why is my luck this bad?!!!."
After a bit of pacing around she calmed down and then sat back on the throne with her arms crossed. "Tch, at least give me information on my current situation than just dropping me into this world."
And as she said that an interface appeared in front of her.

Lillet closed her eyes and sighed, her violet hair moved slightly in the wind and the black crown that floated above her head glowed faintly, her dress was black and had decorations of Violet flowers.
She tapped her finger on the armrest and sighed, a glimpse of her sharp teeth was slightly caught in the light. Lilet's body structure was the same as hers in the real world, her chest was not big nor did she look like the fantasy's of a man that thinks with his lower body.
She was a young woman that kept herself healthy and fit and now she was a bit angry...it took her countless hours of grinding, countless days of retrying the god forsaken game to get a Max level Kingdom and now it is destroyed by idiotic fanatics.
It might happened in the game but now was real life and she was strangely angry, she sighed and stood up from the throne. She looked at the souls she currently had and spoke. "Upgrade the dark castle to Level five using 500,000 souls."
The interface shimmered with a deep crimson glow as her command echoed in the air. A deep chime resounded through the ruins, and the ground beneath her trembled slightly.
[Processing Request... Deducting 500,000 Souls...]
[Upgrade in Progress: Dark Castle – Level 5]
The sky above the ruins darkened further, clouds swirling unnaturally as tendrils of black energy began to coil around the shattered walls and broken towers. One by one, stones floated into the air, spinning and reforming. Ancient gargoyles shrieked as their eyes lit with infernal flame. Vines of obsidian-black thorns crawled up crumbling structures, binding them into new shapes, elegant yet menacing.
Before her very eyes, the ruins were reborn into something far more terrifying. A towering obsidian castle, with spires that seemed to pierce the sky, now stood at the heart of the Cursed Realm. Violet flames danced atop its towers, and the castle's gates bore her sigil—a twisted crown with fanged wings, wreathed in smoke and shadow.

Lillet narrowed her eyes. "Now that's more like it."
A dark chuckle slipped from her lips as she stepped down the obsidian steps of her newly-formed throne room. The echo of her heels against the darkened stone made the very air feel heavier, more oppressive.
She snapped her fingers and then remembered her dreadbeast, in the game she kept her in a humanoid form, she had dark skin, wings and a tail, her horns were also curved and she was the most cutest looking thing Lillet has seen, she was the one who raised it from infancy. "Where's my daughter?"
The shadows at the edge of the throne room quivered.
A low growl, soft and oddly melodic, rumbled through the air like a lullaby sung in hell. From the far corner, obscured by dark mist and flickering violet flame, something began to stir. Then—footsteps. Delicate, bare feet stepping onto the cold stone, light as air, yet each one echoed like a drumbeat in Lillet's heart.
Out of the veil of shadow emerged a girl—or at least, that's what she appeared to be at first glance.
She looked about seventeen in human years. Her skin was a deep, polished obsidian, smooth and warm like volcanic glass. Her eyes glowed faintly violet, slitted like a cat's, filled with both ancient power and childish joy. Two curved horns spiraled elegantly from her forehead, adorned with silver rings, and her tail swayed lazily behind her, tipped with a heart-shaped barb. Small bat-like wings stretched out before folding neatly against her back.
She wore a short black dress that danced like smoke around her thighs, embroidered with runes and stitched with soul-thread. Around her neck was a thin chain, and on it, a pendant in the shape of Lillet's old gaming avatar icon—the one she'd used since she was fourteen.
"Mommy~?" the girl cooed, her voice sultry and sweet with just a touch of growl, like honey poured over a blade. "Is it really you this time? Not another dream?"
Lillet blinked—her breath caught. Emotions she didn't expect to feel in this kind of world began to flood her. Relief. Joy. Guilt. And something warmer than any infernal flame.
She didn't speak at first. She just stepped forward and knelt, arms open. The girl rushed into her, wrapping her arms tightly around Lillet's neck, wings fluttering as she let out a small sob—though her pride made it sound more like a purr.
"I missed you, Mommy," she whispered.
"I missed you too," Lillet murmured, burying her fingers into the girl's silky, dark hair. "I didn't think... I didn't think I'd see you again."
"Mommy, They locked me in a seal so I couldn't help. When you disappeared, I felt helpless." So that's what happened, Lillet sighed, she hasn't played this game for a few years so it registered her as... missing?.
If she knew it would become a reality maybe she should have stayed, now there is nothing left and she would have to rebuild this realm. She sighed and patted her. "Sally, I won't leave again.".
The girl,Sally,nuzzled against her chest, her tail coiling protectively around Lillet's waist like a snake guarding treasure. "You'd better not," she said, her tone laced with mock defiance, though her voice trembled at the edges. "This realm's been falling apart without you."
Lillet held her close for a moment longer, then stood and gently brushed back Sally's hair. "Not anymore. From now on, we reclaim everything that was taken from us. And if this world wants to throw gods, monsters, or fanatics at me…" Her eyes glowed fiercely, her voice dropping an octave. "Then they can all kneel—or burn."
Sally grinned, her fangs flashing. "That's my mommy."
The throne room suddenly trembled again—this time not from construction, but from something approaching. The Soul Forge flared to life, casting hellish light through the obsidian hallways.
Lillet sighed, she realized all her weapons and artifacts were gone, her favorite scythe also seemed to not be here anymore. "Well I guess I could make a weak scythe using 200,000 souls and I would use the other 300,00 to make a few constructs to help with construction and resource collection."
She stood up and patted Sally and then she went to the throne and sat there, Sally followed her and stood beside her. "Let's see, using plain souls to make weapons and constructs is not really effective but it would do for now, Use 200,000 souls to make the weapon, Soul Harvest and use, 100,000 to make 10 Mining construct, 100,000 to make 10 Lumber constructs and 100,000 to make Construction constructs.".
From the infernal flames of the soul forge, a crimson scythe with a blade resembling a crescent moon floated, the handle was long and decorated with the scales of what appears to be snakes.
[Blood Harvest: Blood moon Crescent Scythe]
[Rank: Exceptional]
[Description: A scythe forged with the souls of bloodthirsty demons that crave for vengeance.]
[Skills]
[Blood Curse]: If struck by this weapon, the opponent will continuously bleed and they will be in constant pain till their death or they dispel the curse.]
[Blood Evolution]: The scythe is made up from spirit so it has no physical form, the scythe can gain a vessel using the blood of it's enemies to evolve.
[Blood Crescent Slash]: The user of the weapon infuses their blood into the blood and sends out a large projectile of blood energy in the form of a crescent moon.
[Blood Harvest: A new resource known as 'Blood' is now unlocked and a building called Hybrid Lab.]
[Black Blood: The user can infuse Dark sorcery into the weapon making it much stronger and causing Dark attacks.]
Lillet grinned. "This is better than I expected, an exceptional rank weapon with only 200,000 souls And it even unlocked a new resource. Blood, huh?" she murmured, running a clawed finger along the weapon's wickedly curved edge. The scythe pulsed in response, almost like it was alive, humming softly in her grip. "I like you already."
Sally eyed the weapon warily, then smiled. "You always did like dramatic things, Mommy."
Lillet gave a short laugh, her expression softening for just a moment. "What's the point of being a Queen of Horrors if I don't look the part?"
A notification ping echoed again in the throne room.
[Construct Deployment Complete]

Lillet frowned slightly. "Only sixty-eight percent? I guess the land's still unstable. Tch, I'll have to stabilize the leyline nexus later."
Sally tilted her head. "Want me to scout ahead? Maybe find the source of the instability?"
"Not yet," Lillet replied. "If you were sealed, then there are other things out there that might want to see you caged again—or worse. I'll send constructs or lesser demons to survey the land first. Besides…" She reached over and gently touched Sally's pendant. "I just got you back."
Sally flushed a bit, wings fluttering again. "Fine~ but don't treat me like a kid forever."
