From Kiana the Lord Ravager Onward: A Grand Fabricated History
Author: Better Hang Myself Than Write
Beyond the Blue, there stood Herta Space Station.
As Herta's stronghold, even though the station had been funded and built by Asta's family, it would not be an exaggeration to call it her second home.
And now, Herta had finally gotten her wish and brought Kiana back with her.
"Madam Herta, you've returned!"
As the station's lead administrator, the moment Asta heard that Herta had come back, she rushed over at once to greet her.
Only this time, Asta was surprised to find that Madam Herta seemed to have brought a little girl back with her.
"Hello! My name is Kiana—Kiana Kaslana!"
Kiana took the initiative and greeted Asta first.
Kiana already had a favorable impression of this familiar young girl. After all, back in the IPC, she had enjoyed a good relationship with Asta's family, and it was even thanks to their help this time that she had successfully managed to lure Herta to Jarilo.
Still, another very important thought suddenly occurred to Kiana.
Did the system's definition of an "important" character include gacha-pool characters from the game too?
And if it did, then didn't that mean Asta also had the potential to become a premium-grade power bank?
After all, compared to a genius like Herta, wasn't an inexperienced girl like Asta much easier to fool?
Asta politely responded, "Hello. My name is Asta. It's very nice to meet you, Miss Kiana."
Then Kiana immediately reached out and grabbed Asta's hand.
"Miss Asta, to be honest with you, I'm actually a very, very powerful Lord Ravager!"
Such an abrupt and completely unprompted declaration left Asta frozen.
The girl in front of her had just said that she was a Lord Ravager?
That absolutely explosive opening line made Asta's brain stall for a moment. She turned toward Herta for help, clearly hoping the other woman would explain what exactly was going on.
And evidently, even Herta had been rendered speechless by Kiana's statement. She looked at Kiana with incomprehension.
"You seem particularly fond of showing off your identity as a Lord Ravager?"
Herta had already noticed it back on Jarilo—Kiana didn't seem to care much at all about the fact that she was supposedly a Lord Ravager.
She certainly didn't look like some dangerous servant of Destruction, and she should obviously understand the reputation the title carried out in the wider universe.
Kiana nodded with complete agreement.
"Don't you think 'Lord Ravager' sounds incredibly cool?"
"…Cool?" Herta nearly choked on Kiana's terrifying answer.
But regardless, the conversation between the two of them immediately gave Asta the answer she had been looking for.
Madam Herta would never lie—so did that mean the girl standing before her, this Kiana, really was a Lord Ravager?!
[Ding!]
[Your lie has made Asta believe it without the slightest doubt. The lie has become more real, the authority of Destruction has risen once again, and you have gained 500 Fabricated History Points!]
[Remaining Fabricated History Points: 3509]
Kiana: !!!
So it really worked?!
In that instant, the way Kiana looked at Asta changed completely.
Just like Herta, Asta also had the potential to become one of her dear besties!
At this moment, Kiana could very clearly feel the authority of Destruction inside her rise yet again.
Even the faint sense of Path-level danger she had previously felt from Herta had now disappeared entirely.
Without question, Asta also fell under the category of an important character.
She was another high-quality power bank.
But regrettably, even among high-quality power banks, there were still levels.
Compared to Herta, Asta's charging efficiency was obviously much lower.
Herta had only tentatively believed her so far, yet the Fabricated History Points she provided were six times what Asta had just contributed.
Looks like she still couldn't afford to give up on Herta after all.
"All right."
At that moment, Herta spoke up and interrupted Kiana's train of thought.
"Asta, Kiana has already been adopted by me. After some time, I'll come over in my real body. For now, take her and arrange for her to settle into the space station."
"Yes, Madam Herta!" Asta naturally had no intention of refusing.
Though, well…
the title of Lord Ravager did sound a little frightening.
But Kiana didn't look like any kind of dangerous threat. Besides, this was Madam Herta's arrangement. No matter how one looked at it, Madam Herta surely wouldn't drag some villain into the space station just because of a passing curiosity.
…Probably?
Well, after recalling some of Herta's past behavior, Asta suddenly felt a bit less certain.
"Eh? Big Sister Herta, you're leaving already?"
Kiana grabbed Herta's little hand with visible regret.
During the journey back to the space station, she had been subtly and not-so-subtly trying to close the distance between them the whole time.
After all, only by maintaining a good relationship with a premium power bank could one ensure maximum charging efficiency over the long term.
Fortunately, the genius had not shown even the slightest sign of impatience.
Perhaps that was because she was also very interested in Kiana?
Herta gently pulled her hand free, a hint of amusement on her face.
"What, has it only been a few days and you're already completely smitten with me?"
To be fair, Herta truly didn't mind growing closer to Kiana like this.
After all, she was indeed fascinated by her right now. And if she could build a good relationship with Kiana, then wouldn't that make the girl practically free for her to study?
Kiana nodded without the slightest hesitation.
What a joke.
How could she possibly let such a premium-grade power bank get away?
"Of course! Big Sister Herta is my savior and my guardian, so naturally I'm going to stick to you!"
Hearing that, Herta gave a light snort, but the corner of her mouth curved upward ever so slightly. Clearly, she was quite pleased with Kiana's answer.
"I'm only going to switch into a more convenient body. What kind of research do you think I can do with this puppet body of mine? Just wait, little girl. Once my real body arrives, I'll have all the time in the world to take good care of you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Herta's puppet body went completely still, evidently abandoned by her consciousness.
"And just like that, she's gone?"
Kiana patted the motionless puppet.
In a certain sense, Herta's puppet technology really was rather similar to her own A Thousand Faces.
"Well then, Miss Asta, I'll be in your care for the next little while!"
Kiana turned toward Power Bank Number Two.
Only then did Asta finally snap back to herself.
"Ah… right. Please come with me, Miss Kiana."
She stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and Kiana.
"I'll first show you around the space station a bit, and then I'll arrange a place for you to stay."
