Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

A few Years Ago!

Across the sprawling lands of Argos, the world's most powerful empires—human, vampire, beast-human, demon, and elven—vied for dominance, not just through politics and war but through control over one of the most coveted resources: magical minerals.

Though each empire had its own mining companies and powerful industries, there was one entity that stood above them all: Dragon Mines.

"Dragon Mines," people would say in hushed tones, "it's not just a company. It's an empire within an empire."

Dragon Mines was the undisputed leader in extracting and refining magical minerals like mana cores, dragonscale crystals, and aether stones.

These were the lifeblood of Argos's magical and industrial economy, powering everything from enchanted weaponry to entire cities. At the heart of this colossal operation was the Valyrian family, the ruling house of the Dragon Empire. The company was their crown jewel, and the world knew it.

Emperor Drakos Valyrian sat at the top of both the empire and its prized mining company. The emperor, a towering figure known for his cold, calculating gaze and iron grip over the empire's economy, had built Dragon Mines into a titan.

His connection to the company wasn't just business—it was personal.

Imperial Court

"Emperor Drakos, our empire grows fat on the spoils of Dragon Mines. But what happens when the resources run dry?" The question was posed by a certain lord, a high-ranking official of the Dragon Empire's council.

Drakos Valyrian leaned back in his grand throne, his piercing eyes fixing on the man.

His voice was deep, measured, and laced with cold authority. "When Dragon Mines ceases to find new veins, then we will look deeper. And if the lands of Argos run dry, we will look beyond. There are always more worlds to conquer."

A wishful thinking!

A murmur rippled through the room, the gathered nobles exchanging uneasy glances. Drakos had no interest in letting anyone believe that Dragon Mines, or his empire, could ever falter.

"We hold the largest mana core reserves in the world," Drakos continued, his voice booming through the hall. "No one can challenge our reach. Not Bloodstone Enterprises of the Vampire Empire, nor Ironfang Minerals of the Beast-Humans. They mine pebbles compared to us."

It was a declaration of dominance, one that few dared to challenge. But despite his confidence, there was one name that lingered in the minds of all present: Obsidian Mines.

Despite Dragon Mines' undisputed reign, there was one entity that had grown large enough to cast a shadow even over them—Obsidian Mines, the second-largest mineral company in Argos. Owned by House Obsidian, their operations were closely tied to the dark and volatile resources of the Obsidian Abyss, a region few dared to venture.

At the helm of Obsidian Mines was Emberly Obsidian, Duchess of the Dragon Empire and a formidable figure in her own right.

The mistress and director of Obsidian Empire!

Though she was of noble blood, Emberly and Drakos never stood on common ground. Their rivalry was well known in the imperial court.

In the opulent chambers of the Imperial Palace, Emberly stood across from Drakos. There was a tension in the air, sharp and electric, as the two regarded each other. Though they shared a history, their dealings had always been more adversarial than cooperative.

"You've expanded too far, Emberly," Drakos said, his voice low but edged with a warning. "Obsidian Mines is growing faster than even you can control. You're stepping into territory that's best left alone."

Emberly's expression remained calm, though her eyes were sharp. "And by territory, you mean Dragon Mines' stranglehold on Argos' resources?" she replied, her tone icy. "I'm not interested in playing by your rules, Drakos. House Obsidian has always charted its own path."

There was no fear in her eyes, her voice firm as she called the emperor by hos name!

A flicker of a smile crossed Drakos's face, though it held no warmth. "You've done well, Duchess. But remember, Dragon Mines was here long before you started pulling shadows from the Abyss. We are the foundation of this empire's economy. Without us, the Dragon Empire wouldn't exist."

Emberly stepped forward, her presence radiating power and grace. "Without Dragon Mines, maybe this empire would finally be free of your greed."

The tension in the room thickened. It wasn't the first time they had traded barbs, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. But behind their words, both knew the stakes.

Dragon Mines had the might of an empire behind it, but Obsidian Mines was quickly closing in, gaining influence, and edging into Drakos's control over the mineral market.

While Dragon Mines was a giant, it was not without rivals. Each empire had its own mineral company, though none could truly match the scale of Dragon Mines or Obsidian Mines.

The Human Empire, under the rule of the Eloise family, operated Silverlight Extraction, specializing in rare elemental stones. The Vampire Empire's Bloodstone Enterprises was known for its secretive operations in the most dangerous parts of Argos, often mining forbidden lands where dark magic thrived.

The Beast-Humans under the Rasgar Clan ran Ironfang Minerals, producing vast amounts of iron and steel for both trade and war. And the Elven Empire's Sylvan Extraction focused on rare magical essences and nature-infused minerals, extracted in harmony with their ancient forests.

In the courts of Argos, it was often said, "Dragon Mines digs the deepest, but Obsidian Mines sees into the void." This saying captured the rivalry between the Valyrian and Obsidian families.

Both companies were powerful, but their methods couldn't have been more different. Dragon Mines thrived on scale, control, and the ruthless efficiency that came from centuries of dominance.

Obsidian Mines, meanwhile, operated in the shadows, its power growing silently yet steadily.

Pyris's Plans for Sly Mines and Dragon Mines unbeknownst to Drakos, there was an even greater threat brewing. Pyris Obsidian, the son of Emberly and the CEO of Obsidian Tech, had quietly begun acquiring shares in Sly Mines, a smaller mining company with connections to Dragon Mines.

His plan wasn't to destroy Sly Mines but to weaken it just enough to gain control, and from there, use it to strike at Dragon Mines from within.

Over breakfast at Obsidian Tower, Pyris sat across from his mother, discussing the next phase of their plan.

"We don't need to destroy Dragon Mines," Pyris said, sipping his coffee. "We need to make them vulnerable. Sly Mines is the key."

Emberly nodded, her mind sharp as ever. "If you control Sly Mines, you'll have access to their networks. Weaken them just enough, and you'll slip through the cracks in their defenses."

Pyris leaned back in his chair, a slow smile forming on his face. "And when the time is right, I'll own some of Dragon Mines' shares. After what Drakos has done to us, it's the least he deserves."

Emberly's eyes glinted with approval. "The Valyrian family won't know what hit them."

Though Dragon Mines remained the largest mineral company in Argos, its future was uncertain. The rivalry between Drakos Valyrian and House Obsidian had escalated, and the world was watching.

Other empires, too, were waiting for a moment of weakness—waiting for any of the dragons to fall. And if Pyris had anything to say about it, that moment would come sooner rather than later.

With each passing day, the future of Dragon Mines, once seemingly unshakable, became more fragile.

And the Valyrians could feel it.
