Orange and blue glows enveloped the five of them. I can see that they were forcefully subordinated as well so I got a glimpse of their statuses.-Subordinates

I think Ravel is the first individual I"ve seen that has a last name. Perhaps it"s a thing only royalty are allowed? Something is weird with the crow leader and spider leader. Their "original" names were abandoned..... Then there is Wetho and Sylphy. I expected Wetho to have a high level since she is Inival"s former boss but, Sylphy is at a really high level as well...
As they are taking in their new appearences I get a couple messages from the system.
*5 Individuals forcefully subordinated. All of their subordinates are forcefully subordinated as well as their territories.
*All subordinated territories are now subterritories and provide 10% of their energy to the main territory.
*Due to subordinating a ruler of a "civilization", primary access to territorial energy is unlocked.
So, using the energy that the territory gathers from the dead requires a ruler huh. I"ll take a look at that later after dealing with these leaders and figuring out what to do with that child.....
Their appearences are rather changed. The queen looks rather excited. Her hair is a deep ruby as her eyes have taken a golden hue. I finally realize why she is excited, she realized that her figure has become even more ridiculous. She was wrapped before but, that barely kept "things" tight. Honestly, it doesn"t look realistic to me..... Different world I guess.... Wetho is entirely blue unlike the usual blue-green. Her eyes are a firey red. She doesn"t have a very "puffy" figure like the queen as she is much more muscular. "Spider" is looking really satisfied as he probably enjoys being an arachno elf. He is more of a green color with very little traces of blue. His eyes have turned purple and look a bit toxic somehow. He quickly goes back to reading his book.
Then there is Crow and Slyphy. Crow no longer has an aged look and his eyes are transparent revealing the inside of his eyesockets. It looks a tad disturbing. As for his body its now a dull red like normal devoured elves. Sylphy has the same appearance of regular devored elves as well. Only special attribute is that she has a weird aura coming off her as she stares at Crow.
Wonder why some of them have unique appearences after the conversion. There must be something that effects the transformation. Some sort of dormant energy or something. I can only come up with things that can"t be confirmed.
They all return their gazes to me after they check on their conditions. Well, except Spider who is reading.
"You guys are no longer drow. I didn"t expect that unique appearences that the process produced but, that is fine I guess." Gin
"Thanks! This is exactly what I was hoping for after I saw Inival! Didn"t expect the subordination point though..... As thanks.... I"ll have the army slowly capture our people to go through this. I"ll single people out so there is not much resistance~. That mindset of "why should I care if it"s not me?" is already deeply embedded in my people." Ravel
She walks up to me and whispers something
"You can join me and Wetho whenever you want as well~." Ravel
I"d rather not. I know that this queen has "problems" despite her appearence..... Now that I"m thinking about it, I don"t think I can be seduced. "Steel Mind" has had some major effects on my mentality. It"s for the best I guess. Suddenly a chill runs down my back. It seems that I"m not the only one as Ravel twitches a bit.

The queen and the rest of the drow left to get to work. Now I need to think about what to do with that child.....
Vampires are quite a troublesome race. Can control blood. Have charming abilities. Strong physical and magical capabilities. Have an affinity with soul magics. Superior ones can even forcefully subordinate individuals just from a drop of their blood.
The one that showed up at my doorstep just so happens to be one of the top subspecies. Blood Overlord. A species that stands at the top of all vampires along with "Children of Dracula" and the "Original Bloodkin". Children of Dracula are direct descendents of the first vampire. Whether it is actually dracula os debatable. Original Bloodkin can be any type of vampire. They "just" have to purify their bloodline to reach that level. Then there are Blood Overlords.....
Born out of blood, sorrow, and luck. They are unkillable as long as their blood exists somewhere. Whether that be through their children or through the insertion of blood into their slaves. They are also extremely malleable in their childhood. You would think that could be a good thing as you could raise them to be good. However, it doesn"t usually turn out that way. They are so malleable that they are impossible to direct them in a predictable way. Due to that, they are usually psychopaths.... On top of that they require very little experience to grow strong, unlike most top species among vampires.
I watch Nemesis who is currently watching over the child. She is whispering songs to the her as she sleeps. I did not want to have anything to do with the child but, it seems that there is no choice. She will not tolerate drow or elves..... Drun is actually recovering right now after what happened post-meeting.....
I was the only one she would tolerate at first. Nemesis wanted to help which I was very doubtful of but, it seems that she is rather good with children. I just need to make sure she doesn"t influence her in any weird way..... Actually, it may not be a good idea to let anyone else watch over her.

Third person POV
Gin was sleeping on an ink bed, surrounded by his broodmothers and Set. A sleeping child cradled in his arms as it would break out in tears otherwise. A barely audible noise repeated itself as the peaceful night went on.
