Wow anon, none of those ideas for a new region are canon friendly.

1. The closest to canon friendly. Still, as of yet, new automatons cannot be made, all existing ones being dug up from ancient ruins.

2. Places ran by undead are clean and sophisticated.

3. KC has gone on record saying there was no dinosaur era in the MGE world.

Probably won't find wights from more than a thousand years ago in the MGE, since undead worked differently before Lilith and Hel came to power (i.e. they didn't have souls and weren't the original person).

Nicely done, though I do have some critiques to offer if you like:

1. You seem to underplay or are possibly confused when it comes to undead and food, mentioning how the food as a banquet is for living monsters and men. As far as we know their stomachs do function pretty normally, and what's more they adore enjoying good food and drink (lamentation mushrooms being a prized ingredient in their dishes). Heck, there are undead gourmets.

2. Frederick felt like he did a couple 180s during the story without much in the way of transition or explanation. He's fine with his wife becoming a wight and has zero concerns about any of the monster girls he sees, but then is suddenly horrified at the rest of the town changing as if he believes the things the Order says. Then suddenly he is okay again without having actually looked at the town or done anything to confirm his wife is still his wife.

3. Having already been brought back to life, Frederick should already be an undead incubus (the only way to bring back a man as dead as he was is to make them an undead). The Lamentation Mushroom would be nothing more than a tasty food for him now, not a means of changing further.

You might want to read up on necromancy in the setting if you ever decide to edit the story or make another on similar themes: https://monstergirlencyclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Monster_Girl_Encyclopedia_World_Guide_III:_Sabbath_Grimoire#Secret_Art_of_Raise_.28p102.29

For a relevant quote:

>As far as the sex of the person goes, on the one hand, females are easy to raise, but raising a male requires restoration of “the power to produce essence” which is lost upon death, one of the traits that makes a male a male, and therefore it is extremely more difficult compared to raising females. When raising a man, it will be necessary to receive the blessing of “Hel”, the goddess of life and death, and perform a ritual for the sake of borrowing her power, plus, a living sacrifice to offer mana to the male undead semi-permanently. In other words, it requires a monster who will live as the spouse of the one resurrected and have sex with him for eternity.

So, can any zombie become a wight if given enough love?

>>23503961
>Wight takes your hand. Then slowly, delicately, sensually, begins to suck on your fingertips, one at a time. By the time she's halfway done with the first hand you're moaning like Cloud with the hand masseuse. By the time she finishes the second hand you've cum multiple times and she hasn't even touched you anywhere but your fingers.

Draining mana via sex isn't exactly a magic skill so much as a way monsters eat. Their mouth and vagina are optimized to suck up mana, no real skill required as its just like eating for them. Draining via a single touch and such like wights can do is quite a bit different of course and requires a lot of skill and power.

>>21004422
And for undead its even more extreme:

>For those with decayed bodies, everything is felt with the “soul”. Eating not only delights the tongue, but provides joy to the “soul”. Paintings aren't just viewed with the eyes; they become burned into the “soul”. Music doesn't just remain in the ears; it jolts the “soul”. That is why art culture and gourmet food is popular among the undead.

Here we are, a super advanced spell to end our necromancy week. http://monstergirlsredux.com/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1649

Ritual of Soul Marriage

Difficulty: 3 out of 3
Mana Cost: 2 out of 3

An arcane necromantic art which creates a link between the souls of the two people targeted, enabling them to share their lives. It's one of the most advanced techniques in necromancy, a system of magic that uses mana to touch “souls”, and it creates a link between two entirely different souls so that they become as one.

Normally when the living perish, the soul separates from the body, and will soon be invited to the netherworld, but when two souls are bound together by this spell, even if one of them enters a death-like state, the soul will be detained in the mortal world, and so long as both souls remain, they won't be vulnerable to death. Not just any two souls can be bound together. They have to be two people who share a sufficiently deep connection. More specifically, it is recommended that they be in an intimate relationship as a married couple. Most of those who undergo this ritual are married couples consisting of a human man and a monster. In the case that one of the couple is an undead, then that undying nature will be shared by both of them. In other words, as long as his undead wife exists in the world, then the man who is her partner will never die.

Furthermore, the link between the two souls will not be lost even when both are dead. It is of no relevance to the undead who live together forever as husband and wife, but it is supposed that even after death their souls will never stray from one another; even if invited to the netherworld, the souls of the married couple will always stay together. It is said they will be able to become husband and wife once more if reincarnated in the next world.

Also, so that they may be as one, both will become able to intuitively sense the location and status of the other soul, and when the souls are together, i.e., when the partners are right next to each other, they will start having powerful feelings of jubilation and tranquility. Just as if attempting to become one, they will then prefer living in a conjoined state, lying together, deep kissing and embracing.

This spell is also “teletomancy” and requires a large scale spell formula. It is believed that this spell was created in the past by a certain undead necromancer who sought a spouse who was undead like her to alleviate her loneliness, but as of the present, the cultural habit of holding “marriage rituals” has spread among monsters due to the goddess of love, “Eros”, and because of that, this ritual has also become popular among other monsters besides the undead who would rather form “an eternal marital relationship” instead of just having the goal of “sharing their lives”.

The ritual is mostly held in beautiful red and black churches where “Hel”, the goddess of life and death is revered. This elegant ritual refined by undead nobility and the words used during it, “Not even death shall do these two apart,” are famous. While the caster is using mana to join the two souls, the couple being targeted by the ritual must keep touching each other in some way. It's possible to perform the ritual even just by holding hands, but in that case, it takes quite a long time, so in the case that it is performed as a marriage ritual, the couple will generally continue deep kissing and entwining tongues for a while so that an even deeper bond is formed between them. Also, since being delighted invigorates the souls, and facilitates the process of binding them together, so for undead brides and grooms, it is also important to accentuate the ritual with music, food, etc. which will bring joy to their souls.

According to the teachings of the goddess of life and death, this ritual is regarded as an inevitability for two souls that are in love. Most undead and adherents of the goddess Hel dream of performing this ritual with their partners. Particularly in the case when undead monarchs, “wights”, are bound together with their partners, undead orchestras perform at these ceremonies, and they are literally dignified royal banquets. That is what all undead brides long for.

“Fufu...
I've been eagerly awaiting this moment

Darling... Now your soul will become one with mine.
'Not even death shall do these two apart'...
I swear an eternal oath with you...”
~a wight bride shrouded in a black veil~

>Something like having undead be immune to holy magic just makes them less interesting to me.

Did you see any of the posts that pointed out nothing in anything KC has written has stated undead are "immune" to holy magic? I can't help but wonder if you are deliberately ignoring this now.
