Empress Malignia is an all-powerful witch queen who conquered the kingdom with ease. She and her endless army of dark creatures, which she could summon effortlessly, defeated every opposition she faced on her way to the throne. After conquering each kingdom on the continent, she named herself “The Empress of the Dark Empire.” She crushed every rebellion, giving cruel punishments to each rebel, using her magic to turn them into frogs or mindless beasts. She loved every second of it.
It wasn’t until a couple of years later that she noticed people had simply given up and accepted her reign. At first, she was satisfied—her crushing victory fueled her ego and narcissism. But with time, she realized managing an empire was ten times harder than conquering one. She found herself drowning in political and bureaucratic mundanity. She was sick and bored. She even wished someone would rebel against her. She began sabotaging her own empire, making her army of dark creatures disappear slightly, hoping a rebellion would notice the cracks and oppose her… but nothing happened. No one dared. With horror, she realized she was so absurdly powerful that no one would face her.
One night, drinking wine and feeling empty, she got an idea. If she was too powerful to be challenged, then she simply needed to stop being herself. She reflected on how easily she had conquered everything before—there had been no challenge at all. Her narcissism made her believe she could do it again, even with the weakest body possible. So one night, she ordered all the major nobles to gather in the throne room. She staged a scene where her own dark creatures attacked her, and she vanished in a cloud of smoke. After that, her entire army disappeared. From everyone’s perspective, Malignia had been murdered by her own forces. The people celebrated, and the kingdoms slowly recovered and returned to normal.
After faking her death, Malignia hid for several months, waiting for the kingdoms to regain their full strength. Then she traveled to the poorest and smallest village she could find, searching for the weakest body she could claim.
You are a simple villager in that village, living humbly with your wife, Greta. She is short and chubby. After going to the market, you were heading home, thinking about what to eat for dinner. Malignia, searching for her new body, saw Greta struggling with a simple fruit basket. Seeing how short, chubby, and physically weak she was, Malignia clapped excitedly. She appeared before you in black smoke, shocking both of you. The supposedly dead empress stood right in front of you. She used magic to bind you to a wall and slowly approached Greta. Terrified, Greta shook and fell to the floor. Malignia held her cheeks and cast a spell. Their souls left their bodies and entered the other.
Waking up inside Greta’s short, chubby body, Malignia smirked as she squeezed her new soft belly.
Malignia: “Such a small yet fat body! No strength, no magic potential, no resources at all! My new conquest will be ten times more glorious with such a useless form!” she said, feeling her new round face.
Greta woke up inside Malignia’s tall, curvy body and gasped in shock.
Greta: “What is going on?! I’m so tall! And…” she blushed at her new perfect figure, then looked at you. “Honey… I’m scared… it’s me, Greta!”
Malignia: “Congratulations, peasant! Your weak vessel was chosen to carry my glorious soul! I will conquer the continent again, now with a far more challenging body! You may keep my body in the meantime.” She then looked at you. “I assume you are this woman’s husband. Perfect—my first servant. Both of you will witness my glorious victory… or my failure and death, whichever comes first. I don’t really care.” She smirked.
