Transmigrated Into A Women Dominated World

[STRATEGIC ANALYSIS: The current conflict is a stalemate. The Queendoms can defend against a direct assault, but the Dragon Lord can wage a war of attrition indefinitely using his two primary assets: the Vorthak swarms to exhaust military resources and the Fade Curse to destabilize society.]

[RECOMMENDATION: The Host, Zaeryn Noctis, represents an unforeseen variable. Your immunity to the Fade and your unique Vitae absorption abilities provide an asymmetric advantage that the Dragon Lord cannot account for. While your intervention is not strictly necessary for the planet's immediate survival, your personal power development is the most efficient path to breaking the stalemate and achieving a permanent victory.]

[Conclusion: It is strategically wise for the Host to continue to grow stronger. Your survival and power ensure you have options, regardless of the war's outcome.]

Zaeryn sighed, a small frown appearing across his face. "Can you give me a simple yes or no answer?"

The system's interface paused for a fraction of a second, as if processing the inefficient, emotional nature of the request. Then, a single, stark word appeared.

[Yes.]

He blinked, taken aback by the blunt simplicity. A moment of quiet satisfaction settled over him. See? Not so hard. He was about to close the interface, his mind finally at ease, when a new line of text materialized directly below.

[However, a binary answer is a tactical oversimplification. The core threat is not a single engagement but a protracted war of attrition. Your development remains the most efficient path to breaking the current stalemate.]

Zaeryn let out a short, humorless laugh and swiped the screen away from his vision. "Of course," he muttered to the empty room. "Can't just let me have the win, can you?"

Still, the core message was clear: the world wasn't on his shoulders. The War-Ladies and Queens could handle the front lines. His role, if he chose to accept it, wasn't to be the prophesied hero. It was to be the trump card they never saw coming.

And that suited him just fine.

He shifted against the pillow, a new question sparking in his mind. 'System,' he thought, his curiosity getting the better of him. 'What's the real power difference between Vitae tiers?' He was, after all, technically a Tier 3 wielder now, even if he didn't have a clue how to use the power properly.

[RESPONSE: The gap between Vitae tiers is exponential. The difference is not linear, but multiplicative.]

► Tier 5 to Tier 4: A significant increase in raw power and energy reserves. A Tier 4 Warlady is a seasoned soldier.

► Tier 4 to Tier 3: The power differential is substantial. A single Tier 3 wielder, such as Daphne Virellith, possesses enough power to defeat a squadron of Tier 4 opponents.

► Tier 3 to Tier 2: The increase in power is greater than the combined gaps of Tiers 5 through 3. Tier 2 Warladies, such as Princess Viora, are considered strategic assets capable of turning the tide of major battles.

► Tier 2 to Tier 1: The gap is greater than all previous tiers combined. Tier 1 Warladies are exceedingly rare, possessing power comparable to a force of nature. Your aunt, Kayla Noctis, is a known Tier 1 Warlady and one of the most powerful living warriors.

The screen paused, then a new line of text appeared, its logic cold and inescapable.

[ADVISORY: Forming a bond with a Tier 1 practitioner such as Kayla Noctis, offers the highest potential for Vitae absorption and ability mimicry. This is the most efficient path to maximizing the Host's personal power.]

Zaeryn sighed, the brief satisfaction from his stat gains souring into frustration. "Not this again," he grumbled. The system was just a glorified matchmaker with a god complex. He rolled onto his side. "Besides, me and Kayla bonding? That's about as likely as her suddenly deciding she likes men. It's never going to happen."

[ANALYSIS: The probability of a bond forming is low, but not zero. Your assessment may be influenced by emotional bias.]

'Or, you know, years of her treating me like a walking genetic mistake,' Zaeryn thought bitterly. He decided to change the subject before the system started offering him family counseling.

'Are there other Tier 1 Warladies apart from Kayla? Who's the strongest?'

[RESPONSE: Several individuals hold Tier 1 status. Notable examples include:]

► Grand Matriarch Elara of the Argent Spire.

► Queen Athena, the Matriarch Sovereign.

► High Commander Lysara of the Aureath Citadel.

► The Silent Blade, General Anya of the Outer Rim Sectors.

► Kayla Noctis, your aunt.

[CLARIFICATION: Tier is a measure of potential and raw Vitae output. The practical application of that power is defined by an ability's 'Class' (F through S). A Tier 2 Warlady with a Class A ability can be more formidable in specific combat scenarios than a Tier 1 Warlady with multiple Class C abilities.]

Zaeryn absorbed that. Potential versus application. It made sense. And then his eyes landed on the first name on the list, and a slow, humorless smile touched his lips. Queen Athena, the Matriarch Sovereign.

His grandma.

The word felt foreign, absurd. He almost got the same taste in his mouth he had when he thought of Athea.

He had a grandmother, Marceline, the woman who'd held him, and shown him more genuine affection than any blood relative ever had. To him, Queen Athena was a stranger, a figure on the news feeds, a legend. And according to the system, she was also one of the most powerful beings in the world and a potential... power source for him.

He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to meet her. 'Would she be the first one to call for my head if she found out she had a grandson?' Zaeryn had no plans to find that out.

The risk was too great. The irony was so thick he could choke on it; he was related to two of the most powerful Warladies in the Queendom, one of whom didn't know he existed and the other who wished he didn't.

Forcing his thoughts elsewhere, Zaeryn found his mind circling back to the woman who ruled at the Citadel's peak. Just how powerful was she—and more importantly, could she serve as a useful source of power?

"System, what tier is High Commander Lysara?"

[RESPONSE: The Vitae Tier and Ability Class of High Commander Lysara are classified at the highest security level within the Citadel's archives. She is a known outlier. Speculation among high-level analysts suggests she may possess an S-Class Vitae ability, a rank beyond conventional measurement. She is arguably one of the most formidable warriors in the Queendom.]

The system paused, then added a final, clinical note.

[ADVISORY: Due to her status as a Tier 1 outlier, High Commander Lysara represents a high-value target for Vitae absorption.]
