Author Notes:

HOLY SHIT! This chapter had so many obstacles! From me being easily distracted and lazy, to all the extra world-building I had to do because the original author was lazy, to the dialogues, to me changing my mind, this chapter was one long ride for me.

Anyway, as you can tell, I posted an info chap first to show you guys some new changes I made, so things make at least some sense.

Just so everyone knows. On Fanfiction, if you want to be emailed when the fanfic is updated, you have to favorite and follow the fic.

Favoriting and Following the author is not the same thing.

You can also manually find all your favorited fics by going to your profile, clicking on 'favorites,' and then clicking on 'favorite stories.'

Enjoy the chap guys and gals! Ended at my record high of 15.5K!

With a fresh mind, I went through the info and smiled.

'It's the auction house time!'

Present:

The Auction House, Life, and Meetings.

(AN: I searched through the fandom sites, and Danmachi does NOT have a calendar that I can use. So, I will just be stating the current season and how far away from canon it is.)

One week later: Summer, 2 ½ years before canon:

Mansion: Magus's workshop:

Magus POV:

Sitting in my workshop, I was admiring the result of all my hard work.

Floating in the air above my hand were three glass orbs with mini buildings inside of them like a ship in a bottle.

The last week was spent with the girls and I adjusting to our newfound strength.

We played it off casually after getting our falna, but we were actually having a bit of trouble adapting.

Thankfully we had enhanced reflexes and could adapt with a few days of effort.

Funnily enough, having sex went a long way to helping us adapt.

Our physical bodies are truly incomparable to how they were before.

Leveling up is to break the limits of the mortal body and evolve beyond.

We are faster, stronger, denser, and our mana, health, and stamina have been boosted to crazy levels.

With a rise in basic stats, our other abilities such as regeneration and reflexes were enhanced.

However, the evolution was focused on the physical body itself.

The mental and soul aspect was completely untouched by the evolution.

What this means is that while someone levels up, that does not make them smarter or increase the strength of their soul and will.

Sure, the brain is enhanced physically, but unless someone actually tries to study and learn, their intelligence will remain the same.

Most individuals, and especially adventurers, would rather indulge in momentary pleasure then increase their knowledge.

And the culture of this world does not place much importance on education outside of essential skills and useless pompy etiquette in the case of nobles.

Anyway, with our enhanced reflexes and constant effort, we all managed to adjust to our new strength and are planning to head back into the dungeon to test out how much we improved.

Before that though, we planned to finish up with the auction house project.

'I'm glad I managed to finish this, let's go outside and do a final check.'

My workshop takes up a spot between the main bedroom tower and the potions tower.

There's a forge, an enchanting area, a space expanded section with materials, and a fully stocked workshop for me to let loose and play around.

The outer wall facing the courtyard was removed, and it allows my workshop to be half indoor and half outdoor.

I had Virgo move some of the trees in the surrounding area to create an area where I could do small tests on my creations. The more serious things are tested in the empty biodome.

I walked outside and instantly got tackled by a fast-moving dark-skinned blur.

"You called~" (Yoru)

I called Yoru over to help me do the final check.

I patted her head.

"Thanks for coming over love." (Magus)

She purred under my hands and responded.

"With pleasure~ I see you managed to finish the storage sphere." (Yoru)

She pointed at the orbs floating next to us.

"Yup~ Now we can easily store the buildings when they are not in use. The inventory works too, but it can't shrink a large item before I take it out." (Magus)

Without bothering to remove Yoru from my back, I sent mana into one of the orbs and tossed it into the space in front of us.

It glowed for a second before quickly expanding in size until a medium-sized building appeared before us.

It was square-shaped and had a majestic Greek/Roman stone appearance.

Each of the four corners had a statue and carving of one of our Animagus forms.

The entrance was a giant stone arch with the door itself being replaced with a soft glowing golden light.

On both sides of the entrance were ATM-like machines built into the wall with the word 'REGISTRATION' listed above.

"*Whistle* The final product looks great~." (Yoru)

"I agree, I left this job to Bella and Mu, and they really outdid themselves." (Magus)

We walked up to the ATM, which had a holographic touch screen with four options on it.

The first two were simple.

- 'Visitor' – Free

- 'One-time use pass' – 5,000 Valis

The next two were more detailed.

- 'Member pass' – 50,000 Valis.

Members begin with the lowest grade pass. The grade can be raised through the active participation of our services. Bronze – Silver – Gold – Diamond. Each grade will provide higher discounts and privileges.

'VIP Pass' – Special

A VIP pass can be gained by reaching the Diamond member level or through special circumstances.

VIP Benefits: VIP room access – Access to private services – Early access to inventory list – May bring along a small party of non-VIPs.

In order to test it out, I paid for two members pass's, typed in our names and two Bronze colored badges came out.

"Hm~ Its looking good so far." (Yoru)

"Yup, it was annoying to set it up, but it was worth it. Each pass records the mana signature of its owner, and it is a key to the security wards. The higher your grade, the more areas and privileges are open to you." (Magus)

"Why did you insist on making a free visitor pass?" (Yoru)

"Well, after all the work we did, it would be nice to let everyone see it. Of course, visitors can't go very far, but it should be fun for them to~." (Magus)

We walked through the entrance and were greeted by a massive space.

I utilized the same space expansion charms I used to create the biodomes and created a vast space that was divided into sections by wards and gave others a feeling of entering a new world.

From the entrance appeared a wide stone path that led to a circular intersection with a large fountain.

The paths themselves had beautiful greenery with different colored flowers and glowing fauna along the sides. The light sounds of birds chirping, the ringing of chimes, and the smells from the flowers spread out and immediately greeted our senses upon entering.

The whole scene created an enchanting and fantastical image.

The environment was able to be changed at my preference, and I set it to two main modes.

Day time mode where the sun, wind chimes, fluffy clouds, gentle wind, and bird sounds would make a calming environment.

-During the day mode, soap bubbles would float around gently in the air with holographic images of items being sold and particular messages to give directions and advice. Think of it like a fortune cookie that we can write in or a big 'Help' sign that can assist people.

-Nighttime mode where insect sounds, glowing fauna and flowers, glowing balls of light from Skyrim, and a bright starry sky would illuminate the area and create a magical environment.

Night mode had multicolored balls of light to replace the bubbles.

The seasons could be adjusted to match a particular weather pattern like autumn with trees being covered in leaves changing colors, winter with a snowy design, and a bunch of other patterns.

The circular intersection had three branching paths.

A central one was leading to a floating island where auctions will be held. The auction stadium will only be used for special events.

Unless you had a high enough grade, the central path would be covered in clouds that block anyone from seeing further. Only the floating island in the distance would be visible.

The path leading to the left and right had identical style grand and elegant buildings at their ends.

The left one was black, and once inside, you would find rows of individual private booths and rooms for VIP's. This building was for people to offer rare items to be auctioned off. Everything was possible to sell and would be handled through a holographic touch screen to stay anonymous.

We did this for two reasons, rare resources and to clean up some of the city's trash.

We can get rare resources that are hard to find and buy drugs and slaves from the trading rings, free the slaves, and then follow the sellers and destroy their operations. It would, of course, be done quietly.

The right building was pure white and had a similar booth and VIP room set up. The difference was that each booth and room would give the recipient a holographic screen for them to browse our catalog and place anonymous bids instead of sell things.

We don't sell in bulk for most items, so each item will be sold individually, and everyone can bid on them to buy it.

Different membership grades gave you access to different things.

There were also options to announce your name and even options to pay for the items won to be sent to a designated location at a designated time for an extra cost.

Akame created talismans that can send an item to a specific set of coordinates, and it even has a timer so you can set it and leave it alone to ship by itself when its time. Add in a one-time use unbreakable charm talisman, and you have the perfect anonymous delivery system.

The white building also had attached area's for members with high enough access to enjoy special amenities such as: Hooka bars, swimming pools, karaoke bars, magic gumball roulette, and a few others.

In the center of the circle was a magnificent fountain with four majestic statues that represented our Animagus forms. The statues would spray water into the fountain in patterns, just like the famous Las Vegas fountains.

Floating in the air above the fountain was an invisible magical music box that would lightly play classical music throughout the area. It could be changed as we wish and it casted different glowing colors on the fountain water at night.

The central pillar of the fountain was a pitch-black obsidian stone that faced the entrance and had bright glowing words written on it.

"Aw~ This panther statue really gets my best points~." (Yoru)

While I was checking the wards, Yoru was messing around with her Animagus statue.

"Please focus love~ We are almost done." (Magus)

She nodded and jumped back onto my back.

"Can you simplify this all for me?" (Yoru)

I nodded.

"Sure~

This pocket space has been entirely warded by us with our special ward scheme and will be run by our AI, which reports and is overseen by Virgo back at the mansion.

Security, monitoring, and the services provided will all be run by the AI.

The fun punishments we created will be performed by the AI using the wards.

To become a member, you have to input your max credit limit and swipe your guild bank card to confirm your funds.

The four types of passes will record its owner's mana signature and allow them through the entrance and give access under its limits.

A free pass will allow visitors to reach this fountain and enjoy the scenery, but they won't be able to step past the fountain onto any path.

A member will be able to walk onto the paths to the white and black buildings to buy and sell things, respectively.

Those who have good behavior and contribute to us through buying or selling can upgrade their membership grade.

Higher grades allow them to bid on rarer items and get specific discount percentages.

Bronze gets basic access, Silver gets access to better quality items and 5% off, Gold gets full access, 10% off, and access to the fun amenities, and Diamond allows them the chance for a VIP pass, gives 15% off, and allows them to use our information services to buy or request information.

VIP's can cross through the fog barrier of the central path and reach the floating island where the private auctions with the rare stuff will be held. There will also be a private spa, unique training rooms, and special services like the Hooka lounge, magic games like gumball roulette, etc.

All three Auction house environments are different.

This one has the 'Garden' theme with a 'floating island.'

The second one has the 'Underwater' theme with an 'Underwater palace.' It even has a small beach on the surface for VIP's only.

The third one has the 'Underground' theme with an 'Underground palace.' I assume this one will be used for more of the shady business.

All three VIP sections allow travel between them for fast access.

To make it more interesting, the three auction house entrances will be randomly placed around the city two days a week for 22 hours each. The other days we will not be open~.

Finally, every inch of this pocket space is covered by the wards and protected. There are no blind spots.

That's the result of everyone's hard work on this project." (Magus)

"Oh~ *Clap* *Clap* You explained that really well." (Yoru)

"Haha~ I've been practicing that one. It seems like everything in order, the AI is up, the bidding and selling system is up, the philosopher stone core is fully charged, and the space is stable. Let's head back for now." (Magus)

"Ok~ Have you decided how to introduce this place to the public?" (Yoru)

"Yup, I actually have a meeting set up with Ouranos in a few days to talk about it. If you ask nicely, I might tell you~." (Magus)

"Oh~ I think I know how to convince you~." (Yoru)

We both shared a smile and took off into the trees after I shrunk the auction house back down and stored it.

'Yoru really loves outdoor sex.'

*Line Break*

Magus's Study:

I was going over the auction inventory list with Bella and organizing it into specific grades.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in." (Magus)

The door opened, and Mu walked inside.

"Excuse me my lord, you called for me?" (Mu)

"Ah, Mu, Bella and I wanted to talk to you for a minute." (Magus)

"Mhm, sit down Mu, how are your subordinates doing?" (Bella)

Mu sat down in the chair across my desk and smiled.

"They are doing great. They are using the library to broaden their magic repertoire, training their skills with Yoru and Akame, and making a few batches of spa products like skin creams and oils. It's a tad slow but very peaceful fufu~." (Mu)

"Wonderful~ Tell them not to push themselves too hard. We already have enough stock for a while." (Magus)

"Thank you my lord." (Mu)

I smiled at her, and Bella continued.

"Have you thought about the offer we made you?" (Bella)

Mu looked startled for a second before nodding.

"Yes, my subordinates are not sure, but I would like to accept." (Mu)

"Are you sure Mu? You can't change your mind later." (Magus)

Mu gave me a funny look.

"Ara ara, how could I say no? I've lived over a century already, and I can understand the value of your offer. My subordinates are a bit young, but the older you get, the more tempting your offer is~ I believe any woman my age would say yes." (Mu)

I wasn't so sure about that, but Bella started laughing.

"Haha~ I wouldn't argue with her dear; she isn't wrong." (Bella)

Seeing my unsure look, Mu added on.

"To clarify what you're offering my lord, I will become your shadow servant like Tom, have all my potential unlocked, become immortal, and undying, can teleport to your side whenever you call, and all I have to do is serve you for eternity?" (Mu)

I nodded seriously.

"Fufu~ Your so adorable right now my lord~" (Mu)

"Dear, stop hesitating." (Bella)

Looking at Mu with her tails waving behind her happily and Bella giving me a wry smile, I gave up.

"*Sigh* Fine. Since you're sure, welcome to eternity Mu." (Magus)

"Thank you for having me~." (Mu)

"Shadow Servant." (Magus)

My shadow extending and swallowed Mu.

'Hm... I'm much stronger now than I was when I did this for Tom, I think I can grasp the feeling of how it works. My shadow divinity absorbs the target, my death divinity ties their soul to mine, my space divinity creates a sort of space brand that allows them to teleport to me when I call, and my Magic divinity is transforming and adapting the physical body to its peak condition and unlocks their full potential.'

"Is it supposed to take this long?" (Bella)

Bella looked worried at the shadow pool on the ground.

I hugged her from behind.

"Don't worry love, the same thing happened with Tom. She is being transformed differently form how my shadow soldiers are formed." (Magus)

She leaned back into me and calmed down.

"Mn, I'm glad she accepted the offer." (Bella)

"Hmm~ You two have become great friends these last few months." (Magus)

"Mhm, we have similar personalities. I wouldn't say I love her, but I enjoy her company." (Bella)

"I agree, she blends well with us all, not as a love interest but as a friend. Oh, she's coming up." (Magus)

The shadows started rising, and a figure took shape.

A 5'5 naked woman appeared.

She had long smooth light brown hair, a pair of fluffy fox ears, beautiful breasts and ass, and had seven light brown tails twirling behind her.

"Congratulations Mu." (Magus)

Her eyes opened to show us a pair of shining slit eyes.

She examined herself, and then looked at us for a second before pouncing and tightly hugging us with her arms and tails.

"Thank you my lord! That was a bit frightening at the start." (Mu)

'I bet it was, seeing a shadow come alive and swallow you isn't normal. And if it wasn't for my falna, this would be a very painful hug.'

"Haha~ You're quite a bit stronger now *Cough*, well it worked out all right, how do you feel?" (Magus)

She let us go and spoke while Bella handed her some clothes.

"I have seven tails! No one in my race has ever made it past three tails! It was said that we were descendants from the ancient Kyuubi, but our bloodline became diluted over the generations. And it's been decades since I've felt so young and energetic!" (Mu)

I smiled at her.

'Mu always has that elder sister vibe going, but this is the first time I've seen her so hyper.'

"Love, why don't you take Mu to the training room and help her adjust to her new body. I'll go get the celebration set up."

I gave Bella a kiss an urged her.

"Celebration my lord?" (Mu)

"Yup~ We celebrate every time we can get an excuse to~ This one's all for you Mu." (Magus)

"Yup! Now come on, let's go see just how strong you are." (Bella)

I watched the two run off and pulled up the Alert I received.

*Line Break*

Magus POV:

Gol and I were back to back.

"Switch!" (Magus)

"Yes sir!" (Gol)

{Clatter} {Swish} {Sizzle}

My hands danced with my blades.

"Hand me the mix." (Magus)

"Yes sir." (Gol)

{Floosh!}

The flames shot out like a flamethrower in my face.

"Time?" (Magus)

"14 more seconds!" (Gol)

I stared at my target with single-minded intensity.

"Now!" (Gol)

I flipped the massive dragon steak in the air off the magic grill and let my two kitchen knives dance and slice perfect sized out of it.

I kept them levitating in the air and directed them over to the dishes.

We had salted seaweed egg and rice bowls, fresh greens mixed salads with grilled zucchini, a large pot of fried rice, mixed grilled vegetables, a slow cooking stew, skewers, and a few other dishes that were all waiting for the grilled dragon steak to be added in.

What can I say, everyone in this mansion is a carnivore.

Every ingredient was grown in a mana rich environment.

I never took my eyes off my work for a specific reason but still spoke to Gol.

"How's the timing on the other dishes?" (Magus)

"The grilled sweet potato, baked summer squash, and the eggplant fries are finished. Only the stew and miss Akame's steak are left." (Gol)

Just then, an extremely fast-moving blur appeared, and I sent one of the still levitating dragon steak pieces in its direction without blinking.

It and the steak disappeared.

I continued without missing a beat.

"Good, just let the stew keep going, it will need to be slow-cooked for a few hours to enhance the flavor. I'll finish with that steak, please take the dishes to the table and grab some emerald dragon wine."

The blur appeared again and disappeared with another bite of dragon meat.

"A full dragon course tonight sir?" (Gol)

"Yup~ The food tastes better when you stick to a main theme." (Magus)

Gol smiled and teleported off with all the dishes disappearing with him.

'No wonder wizards always had stupidly large homes. It would be a waste of a house-elves magic to not have a mansion.'

I focused on the dragon steak that was twice as large as the piece I cooked and cut up for all the other dishes.

The blur appeared again, and I was down to a single floating piece of dragon steak.

'Tenderize, marinate, cut, spice evenly, and wait for the right moment…..now!"

{Flip} {Tsssss} {Sizzle}

'There we go, I can cook just about anything, but there is something extremely satisfying about hearing that sizzle on a grill when your cooking meat.'

The blur appeared, and my final floating piece was gone.

I didn't look up, but I spoke out.

"Love, that was the last one, wait a bit, ok?" (Magus)

A pair of fox ears and bright eyes appeared from a tree.

I looked over and saw an adorable creature slowly chewing the meat it snatched.

She burst into flames and appeared behind me.

"Mn, it smells gooood *Drool*." (Akame)

'Did she forget the steak she just finished?'

She stuck her head over my shoulder and stared at the giant sizzling dragon steak.

"Down girl~ Its almost there." (Magus)

"Mn." (Akame)

Despite her desire, she is still in control and will listen to me.

"Make sure to congratulate Mu love; your words are precious to her race." (Magus)

"Mn, don't worry." (Akame)

I sweatdropped

'I worry because I'm not sure if you heard me with your eyes glued to the steak.'

"*Sigh* Please don't forget." (Magus)

Seeing the steak finish, I raised a quick shadow wall and obstructed Akame's view.

It only took her two seconds to break out of her shock and smash the wall, but I already shadow traveled away with the plate with her steak on it.

I gave her a smile.

"Come on love! Everyone's waiting for us~." (Magus)

I didn't even finish my words before a flame appeared before me and attempted to bite the steak.

I shadowed away and began a game of teleportation tag.

Akame would try her best to sink her teeth into the steak while I would lead her to the outdoor party we set up.

You know what's awesome about being a primordial god's son? Well, a lot of things, but the point I'm bringing up is that fate and time can't touch me without angering my father.

So Akame's combat divination can't work on me.

It took a few minutes since I took a detour to extend our little game for fun, but we reached the area where I quickly set down the plate and turned around to catch the charging nine-tailed fox.

"Oof." (Magus)

"Magus, move." (Akame)

She wasn't angry, just super focused.

I laughed and hugged her.

"Sorry for teasing you love, wasn't that fun?" (Magus)

She paused her efforts to match my eyes and smile.

"Mn." (Akame)

She gave me a kiss before wrapping her tails around me and tossing me aside.

"I love you." (Akame)

I laughed and landed on my feet while looking at the adorable fox attacking her meat with a blissful face.

Bella and Yoru came up to me.

"Did you tease her dear?" (Bella)

"Aw~ I can't believe I missed the show." (Yoru)

I gave them both a kiss.

"Haha~ Just a little fun. Let's enjoy ourselves tonight." (Magus)

"Yeah!" (Bella + Yoru)

I looked over and saw the massive woodpile ready to be lit and the table by the cherry blossom trees full of dishes I just finished.

The fox women were crowding around Mu and congratulating her while hugging her tails and breaking Mu's elder sister look.

Gol was opening a wine bottle made entirely from crystal and pouring turquoise-colored liquor into glasses.

Sil was fussing over the placement of everything like an artist.

'Maybe I had him spend too much time designing clothes for the spiders to weave.'

Tom was surprisingly playing a piano off to the side. I walked up to him and admired the soothing music he was playing.

"I didn't know you could play Tom." (Magus)

"Sir!" (Tom)

Tom tried to stand, but I waved it off.

"Stop being so formal man, its been more than a decade since we have met." (Magus)

He gave me a small smile.

"That is my wish sir." (Tom)

"*Sigh* Fine, whatever, so how long have you been able to play?" (Magus)

"Just recently actually. When we were doing a final sweep in the last world, I found an interest in musical instruments, and both the piano and violin stuck out to me." (Tom)

That surprised me.

"You learned how to play Beethoven and Bach in a few months?" (Magus)

"Yes sir." (Tom)

'Fully unleashed house-elves are scary. They might have really conquered the world.'

"Congratulations Tom, that's a very high accomplishment. If you take requests, try that "Dragonborn' song. It's a wonderful piece on the piano." (Magus)

"It would be my pleasure sir." (Tom)

Just then, a strong smell hit me.

I couldn't help my eyebrow twitching in annoyance, and even Tom let out a sigh.

"I'll deal with it, you continue." (Magus)

"Yes sir." (Tom)

Following the smell, I walked into the trees on the side and overheard a conversation that made my light eyebrow twitch develop into a more severe condition.

"Come on! Just try it once! It's a gift from god." (Bron)

"It's a gift from master?" (Virgo)

"Well….sure, let's go with that." (Bron)

"Will master punish me if I do it?" (Virgo)

I heard Bron choke on his next words.

"Er….um….maybe? Well, I get punished sometimes for it." (Bron)

"Really!? Please share your experiences sir Bron." (Virgo)

I swear I could imagine the stars in Virgo's eyes.

"Um, most of the time, I just have to do more cleaning or spar with tom." (Bron)

"Hm…." (Virgo)

I could feel the instant boredom in Virgo's tone.

"Wait! Um, oh, I know! One time the lord caught me when I was having a group smoke session, and after yelling at me, he tied me up…" (Bron)

"Go on.." (Virgo)

'I just know he's causing a misunderstanding here.'

"Then he threw me in a dark room…" (Bron)

"Yeeesss…" (Virgo)

'Calm down Virgo.'

"Then he locked the door…." (Bron)

"And, and!" (Virgo)

"And then he left me alone for a few days." (Bron)

'There, that should clear up the misunderstanding.'

"Oh! Abandonment play!" (Virgo)

Annndd, my eyebrow twitch has a twin.

"And this other time!" (Bron)

"Yes!" (Virgo)

"He had me dress up…" (Bron)

"Yes!?" (Virgo)

"As one of the TMNP and go on a yandere surveillance mission, but he forgot to tell them when to stop the mission." (Bron)

"*Moan* Oh! Humiliation and neglect play!" (Virgo)

'I never told you to dress up as them! I just said stay out of sight! And of course the mission never had an end! Those yandere's just kept growing in numbers! *Shiver*.'

Having enough, I moved around the tree blocking me from sight.

"*Cough*" (Magus)

Bron and Virgo turned toward me.

Bron with deer caught in the headlight eyes and Virgo with hopeful eyes.

"M-my l-lord!" (Bron)

"Master! Punishment time?" (Virgo)

"*Sigh* Bron, I will do my best to think of more severe punishments since you like bragging about them. Virgo, go join the others." (Magus)

The difference between Bron's fearful, dead-looking eyes, and Virgo's disappointed eyes was clear to see.

Just then, I thought of a fun idea.

'Let's fulfill Virgos wish and punish Bron at the same time.'

I pulled out a rope from my inventory and moved at top speed.

"Oh! *Moan*" (Virgo)

In a matter of seconds, Virgo was tied up shibari style and couldn't move.

Bron looked at me, then Virgo, then back at me, and then again at Virgo in fear.

Virgo started panting.

"Tha-ank *pant* y-you Master!" (Virgo)

I shadow traveled Virgo away to Yoru, she should have some fun with Virgo.

I looked back at Bron.

"M-my l-lord?" (Bron)

I just gave him a smile and walked away without saying anything.

'Trying to corrupt my mansion? Let's have you expect a punishment but not get one for a while, it should be fun to watch.'

*Line Break*

A few hours later, and we were all stuffed and relaxing around the campfire.

Virgo was still in shibari, but she was hanging from a tree curtesy of Yoru, who had some fun with her cat toy.

Bron was suffering from a case of being too afraid to get high because he didn't know when I would give him his punishment.

Gol and Sil were chilling out and enjoying a nice drink and chatting while Tom was still having fun with the piano.

The guy really learned the 'Dragonborn' song on piano in only a few hours.

Mu and her girls were chatting and enjoying themselves.

The girls and I were cuddled up in our half Animagus forms, which is just us releasing our tails, ears, slight amounts of fur, and our animal instincts were heightened.

"Thanks again for the gift love~." (Yoru)

"No worries, did you have fun?" (Magus)

"Did she? You should have seen the look on her face when Virgo landed in front of her~; it was like a kid on Christmas." (Bella)

"Mn, Yoru's an S." (Akame)

"I can't deny that~." (Yoru)

I chuckled and rubbed her head.

*Puurrr*

Just then, I remembered one more thing I had to do tonight.

With a thought, Athena appeared from my shadow.

I stretched my tail through my shadow over to the food table, grabbed a plate of bacon, and brought it in front of Athena.

Her cold and intelligent eyes looked at me and nodded her head in approval.

'This damn bird….'

I waited patiently for her to finish and then summoned a letter from my inventory.

"Take this to Ouranos girl, he should be in the same place as before." (Magus)

*Nod*

She took the letter and flew off.

"Wasn't she more obedient this time?" (Bella)

"Yeah, she usually has to insult someone before accepting a mission." (Yoru)

I gave them a wry smile.

"I think she enjoys picking on Ouranos. Nothing strokes her ego more than standing above a primordial god." (Magus)

*Pft* (The girls)

"Haha~ Now I feel bad for uncle." (Bella)

We all agreed and shared a good laugh while sending Ouranos our best wishes.

It was only the next day when I realized I could have contacted him through the communication orb he gave me.

Old habits die hard.

*Line Break*

Ouranos POV:

"….."

*Jiiiiiiii*

"…"

*Jiiiiiiiiiii*

"…"

*JJIIIIIIII* (Athena - Owl)

*Twitch* (Ouranos)

'I've spent millions of years waiting patiently, I've lived tens of millions more before that, I've seen things and experienced things beyond the scope of mortal minds, and yet…...'

*Jiiiiii*

'WHY DOES THIS BIRD PISS ME OFF SO MUCH!?'

I was just sitting here, playing Halo multiplayer on my PC, and wrecking this NOOB who thought he could kill me. I killed him twelve times and listened to him cursing like a little bitch while I laughed.

And then…. This bird phases through my wall and blocks my view of the screen, which resulted in that NOOB finally getting one kill and trash-talking me like the first twelve times he died never happened.

The only reason I didn't disintegrate the damn thing was because I recognized it as Magus's owl.

'Didn't I give him a communication orb?'

*Spit*

I was brought out of my thoughts by the liquid that landed at my feet.

"ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME BIRD!?" (Ouranos)

*Condensing smile*

I couldn't hold it, and some of my extremely controlled divine aura leaked out.

{BOOM}

The babel tower residents all started shaking in fear. The young world gods have rarely experienced the authentic aura of a real god.

{Shiiiicckk}

'Oh no!'

I turned around, and my precious manga collection of 'Horimiya' was being ripped apart by my aura.

I quickly reigned in my aura and ran over to salvage my collection.

'*Sigh* at least it was the later chapters, the main story ones are still fine.'

I looked back up, and the damn owl was laughing at me.

*TWITCH*

"Just give me the damn letter and leave!"

The owl looked down at me and released the letter.

But she released it onto the floor and not my desk before flying away.

I didn't even look at the letter before pulling out my communication orb and contacting the guild manager who works for me. A very competent but strangely obese elf named Royman Mardeel.

"Sir! Is everything ok!? Why did you release your aura!?" (Royman)

'Shit, I probably scared a lot of people.'

"Royman, everything's fine, I just had a..um… bad dream, right, I had a bad dream and released a bit of my aura accidentally." (Ouranos)

"Oh, thank god, you had everyone up in arms thinking it was an emergency." (Royman)

Seeing Royman sigh in relief made me feel a bit guilty.

"Immediately send out a notice of it being a false alarm." (Ouranos)

"Right away sir! You can leave this to me." (Royman)

I nodded.

"Good, now for the main reason I called." (Ouranos)

"Yes sir?" (Royman)

"Find me the closest nest of owls in the wild." (Ouranos)

"Owls sir?" (Royman)

"Yes, owls." (Ouranos)

And with that, I hung up.

'One way or another, a bird is going to die.'

Just then, I remembered the letter and picked it up before opening it.

It was just Magus asking for a favor for our meeting in a few days.

'This is simple, no worries Magus. Please use the orb from now on though.'

*Line Break*

Loki POV:

"ARG! Why can't we find him!" (Loki)

"Goddess, please calm down." (Fin)

"It's a large city, and it's only been a few days." (Gareth)

"Mn, we will find this mysterious magic man eventually, stop being so noisy." (Riveria)

I looked up from the couch I was throwing a tantrum on.

"But! But! He was so hot! No! I mean, that bastard made a fool out of me!" (Loki)

I had to correct myself, my inner thoughts were coming out.

"He may have done so, but I doubt he was targeting you." (Riveria)

"I must agree, my thumb didn't so much as tingle. Nothing was targeting us." (Finn)

I looked at my captain and nodded.

When Finn got his falna from me, he already had a rare skill called 'Instinct.' The more danger was approaching him, the more his thumb would twitch in warning. And with him being the Familia captain, his ability extends over us too.

"Fine! Fine! I'll be patient! I need a drink! And where's my Ais! I need some cuddle time to soothe me!" (Loki)

While my officers were rolling their eyes at me, my inner thoughts were very different.

'That man's mana, I only felt it for a second when our eyes met, but it was unfathomable.

I could clearly see he wasn't a god since I've met almost every god at least once, so how could a mortal have such an amount of mana?

And I could swear I felt more than one pair of eyes staring at me from his mana, what the hell does that mean?

GGRRR, an incredible hunk with such vast mana and refined magic skills. And that mischievous look he gave me!

Goddamn it! I want him! I want him so bad!'

*Knock* *Knock*

I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock at the door.

"Come in!" (Finn)

The door opened, and one of the level 2's walked in.

"Sorry to bother you, but we just received a letter from the guild for goddess-Sama." (Familia member)

"From the guild?" (Riveria)

"Yes ma'am." (Familia member)

Riveria received the envelope and double-checked it for any traps, which made me roll my eyes.

'I know I mess around a lot, but why does everyone forget magic is one of my main domains? In my real body, most gods feared messing with me.'

She passed me the letter, and I opened it.

"Hmm... Interesting." (Loki)

"What is it about?" (Gareth)

I burned the letter with a small flame. I can't use my real strength, but little stuff is easy.

"Nothing much, just that old man is summoning me to meet someone." (Loki)

The three of them shared a strange look.

"Who would lord Ouranos want you to meet?" (Finn)

I shrugged.

"No idea, it just said he wants me to meet his good friend." (Loki)

Finn gave me a worried look.

"It's still best to be careful goddess, a good friend to someone like Ouranos isn't someone to mess with." (Finn)

I gave my Familia's captain a smile and slapped him on the back.

"Haha~ Relax Finn, that old man might be a schemer, but no ones can outdo me in scheming." (Loki)

"It's one of your only redeeming qualities." (Riveria)

"Oi!" (Loki)

I joked around with my Familia without knowing my life was about to become very interesting.

*Line Break*

3rd Person POV:

A beautiful woman standing at 5'7 with fiery red hair and an eyepatch was working at a forge.

She was wearing a tank top and thin pants that showcased her perfect hourglass figure with a firm and shapely ass and moderately sized round breasts.

You could also see some nicely defined muscles throughout her body. It added an athletic and slim charm to her mesmerizing figure without giving her any muscle mass that would take away from her beauty.

Hephaestus POV:

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

'Just a little more on that side.'

*Bang* *Bang*

'That should do it.'

I quenched the sword and looked at it satisfied.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in!" (Hephaestus)

The door to my personal forge opened, and my store manager walked in.

"Hephaestus-Sama, a letter came for you from the guild." (Familia member)

'A letter?'

"Just leave it on my desk." (Hephaestus)

"Yes ma'am." (Familia member)

He did so and left while I finished with the sword I was working on.

"Ahh, another good day." (Hephaestus)

I grabbed a towel and sat down in my chair with a cold drink and opened up the letter.

"Ouranos wants me to meet someone? I wonder who it could be." (Hephaestus)

*Line Break*

Freya POV:

'Ah~ Another day of looking for interesting souls gone to waste. How long must I wait to find my soulmate? Ugh, I'm so bored these days, can't something at least a little interesting appear?'

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in." (Freya)

"Excuse me Freya-Sama." (Ottar)

The deep baritone voice that spoke could only belong to my favorite child and the only level 7 in the city.

"Ottar dear~." (Freya)

Ottar bowed his head and spoke.

"Freya-Sama, a letter has arrived for you from the guild." (Ottar)

'Hm? That's rare.'

Ottar handed me the letter, and I took a look.

'Ouranos wants me to meet someone? It seems my wish for something interesting to happen is already being fulfilled.'

*Line Break*

A few days later:

Dungeon: 22nd floor:

A very annoyed and grumpy handsome man with a mane of silvery-white hair and red eyes was approaching the staircase to the 23rd floor.

It was, of course, our MC.

Magus POV:

'This floor is incredibly annoying!'

The girls and I came back to the dungeon to test our new and improved bodies on a floor that was meant for a level 3.

Tartarus made loads of giant trap holes throughout the dungeon for adventurers to fall to deeper floors, but the girls and I saw them as natural passages to skip over most of the walking and weaker monsters.

We made it to this floor, the 22nd, which was part of the Large Tree labyrinth section of the dungeon. It went from the 19th to the 24th floor. The walls, ground, and ceiling are made out of wood, making it seem like the inside of a giant tree. Instead of phosphorescent light, radiating moss grows across the floor and gives off blue light.

These floors contain a large number of unexplored areas and a large variety of insect-type and plant-type monsters. Having the abnormal resistance development ability is vital to safely passing through these floors due to the large number of poisonous monsters on these floors.

The plant diversity on these floors often provides ingredients used to make healing items which result in many resource gathering quests being issued for this area.

In order to complete the floor, we had to split up and make our way through the floor solo while defeating every type of monster at least once.

Now that seems simple right? Well, it would be if it was a normal floor, but this floor has dozens of different types of monsters who actively try to hide!

And they all release poisons, powders, and all kinds of status attacks at you from annoying places.

Bella skipped off without a care in the world and looked like she wanted to search for new potion ingredients.

Yoru took off into the treetops with a flash of lightning and generated a small lightning storm around her while flashing at high speeds.

And Akame ran in a straight path covered in flames while using her divination to find the monsters before they even had a chance to attack and run away.

That left me with the much more annoying method of having to comb through the forest by my senses and find them.

It wasn't that hard you know, but it's like going into a grass field in a Pokémon game, and you keep running into the same goddamn species every time instead of the one Pokémon you're actually looking for.

If I saw one more dancing flower that tries to smile at me and spit paralyzing powder in my face, I was going to go full Animagus form on a tiny 5-inch flower.

I walked over to the staircase and saw the girls waiting for me.

"There you are." (Bella)

"What took so long~?" (Yoru)

"Are you ok?" (Akame)

Bella gave me a glance while organizing a bundle of herbs she found.

Yoru gave me a teasing look for being last, and Akame gave me a worried look.

I patted Akame's head and spoke.

"I'm fine, I just couldn't find that last fucking plant monster." (Magus)

"Oh! I know which one you're talking about, it was that weird mushroom one that hides underground!" (Yoru)

I nodded.

"Yeah, it was pissing me off. I finally found one, and it just kept screaming 'Foongus!' and throwing some kind of powder at me. I stabbed it with my tail without getting close." (Magus)

"Mn, I burned that one." (Akame)

"I fried it with lightning from a distance." (Yoru)

We turned to Bella, who just finished storing the ingredients she found and stood up.

"Oh? That cute little dancing mushroom? I just returned the powder it generously gave me with a little of my own mixed in as thanks~." (Bella)

Seeing her 'innocent' smile, we all rolled our eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, let's finish and head back, I have a meeting in a few hours." (Magus)

We headed for the staircase.

"Are you excited?" (Bella)

"Eh, not really. I'm just making sure I don't get labeled as some chuuni evil villain or something. Also, having the safety confirmation of the big three Familia will make people accept the situation. The guild is usually neutral, so some people would be skeptical." (Magus)

"It's fun to be in the shadows, but this world is incredibly sketchy~ In my old world, people could actually remain in hiding and did it well. Over here, they make chunni organizations like 'Evilus' *Pft*" (Yoru)

"Yeah, there was just much originality in that one! Hahaha~." (Bella)

"*Pft* Even my world was better than that." (Akame)

We entered the staircase, and Tartarus's voice was heard in our minds.

[ "Congratulations on completing floor 22! All monsters have been slain at least once. Progress was made.

Magus – +70 Str, +40 End, +50 Dex, +60 Agi, +70 Mag.

Bella – +20 Str, +20 End, +50 Dex, +40 Agi, +80 Mag.

Yoru – +40 Str, +60 End, +50 Dex, +60 Agi, +30 Mag.

Akame – +40 Str, +60 End, +70 Dex, +50 Agi, +40 Mag.

The 23rd floor is the same environment as the 22nd floor but more intense.

Good luck."] (Tartarus)

"So, that's what the update is like." (Magus)

"Wow, that was so much simpler than displaying our entire status." (Bella)

"Yeah~ Authors do that for word count~." (Yoru)

"Bad kitty, stop breaking the 4th wall." (Akame)

*Pft* (All four of us)

*Line Break*

A few hours later:

Babel tower – Ouranos throne room:

Magus POV:

I shadow traveled into the room and looked around.

Ouranos's main room is actually on floor -1 of the tower. It is the real first floor, but it's beneath the main hall for the guild. He calls it a 'seal' room so the world gods stay away and don't bother him when its actually a man cave with all his gaming equipment, manga, and other world stuff.

His other room is the throne room on one of the highest floors of the tower that is usually used to hold the denatus of these gods.

Ouranos was sitting on his throne, holding a book that was cleverly disguising the manga inside of it.

He looked up at me and nodded in approval.

"Oh, Magus, well done with hiding your presence, you should be able to sneak up on most beings below the 3rd generation primordial god level. Of course, there are exceptions, so be aware." (Ouranos)

I nodded.

"Will do, thank you for the praise and advice uncle." (Magus)

"Good, now, please stop sending that bird to me. I almost destroyed my own tower after meeting it for a few minutes." (Ouranos)

I wryly smiled.

"Haha~ Sorry about that, Athena has a very unique ability to anger others. I can't tell you how many times I almost tried to vaporize her." (Magus)

"You named that bird after Athena? HAHAHA! That's great! The world god version of her here fits the bill of arrogant." (Ouranos)

"Yup~ It was an on the spot kind of decision. Athena has quite a few uses if you can handle her personality." (Magus)

"You're a brave man Magus." (Ouranos)

'A primordial god putting his hands together and praying for me is a weird feeling.'

"Thanks~ So, were you able to fulfill my request?" (Magus)

He nodded.

"Yes, they should be arriving shortly. I approve of your decision as well, it will definitely be more comfortable if I don't have to take all the attention for you. Most citizens of this world know me as a neutral but powerful force.

If I was the only one backing you up publicly, no one would question me, but it would create many smaller issues." (Ouranos)

"Yeah, I was honestly afraid of the alias they would give me if I acted to mysterious. I still won't stand out too much, but this way, I will avoid some serious clichés." (Magus)

"Haha, I can't argue with you there." (Ouranos)

Just then, the door at the far end of the room opened, and a breathtaking woman entered the room.

She has long silver hair, purple eyes, and white skin like that of fresh snow. She has a perfect golden ratio, enough to think that the golden ratio originated from her.

She was wearing an elegant red dress and walked with a lonely pride.

She gave me a once over, most likely looking at my camouflaged soul, and immediately lost interest.

"Freya, thank you for coming today." (Ouranos)

Ouranos gave her a nod.

"Of course, Ouranos, it's rare for you to ask me to come over~." (Freya)

"Indeed it is, I would like to introduce you to a good friend of mine, this is Magus. Magus, this is Freya, the goddess of…" (Ouranos)

I decided to cut in.

"The goddess of love, fertility, beauty, fine material possessions, and a minor domain of death due to Folkvang.

It is a pleasure to meet you, my full name is Magus E. Mor." (Magus)

I took her hand while speaking and kissed the back of it with a noble's etiquette.

'Thankfully, I learned this stuff when I became the Peverell Lord.'

Freya looked surprised for a moment before smiling at me with a small amount of interest in her eyes.

"A pleasure indeed, it is nice to meet you Magus. Not many take the time to study all the domains of a goddess~." (Freya)

As she spoke, I got hit with a wave of charm from her divinity, and I narrowed my eyes slightly at her.

'Weird, she isn't doing that consciously.'

I brushed it off easily and took a step back to open a respectful distance.

"I'm sure not many do, with such beauty as yours, I believe most would focus on your domains of love and beauty." (Magus)

Her eyes widened slightly in surprise at me stepping away.

She missed a beat but refocused and continued speaking.

"Most do indeed, is there anything else you know about me?" (Freya)

I smiled.

"Of course~ Your true legend is far more than just beauty. You were a pioneer of magic and one of the first to bring its uses to your pantheon. I believe the ancient term was 'Volva.' And your hobby for collecting the souls of true warriors is well known. A free-spirited yet powerful goddess is one way to call you." (Magus)

This time she was definitely surprised; she looked at me like I was a strange creature.

'Oh~ She picked up on it quickly. That's right, my mind is fully protected so no world god can tell if I am lying or telling the truth.'

Ouranos chose this time to cut in.

"Good, you have a decent understanding of her character. Freya is an honorable woman but not one you want to cross." (Ouranos)

Just then, the door opened again, and a beautiful woman standing at 5'7 with fiery red hair and an eyepatch walked in.

She had an incredible body and walked with confidence.

She eyed all of us up as she was reaching us.

"Hephaestus, thank you for coming." (Ouranos)

Hephaestus gave Ouranos a small smile.

"No worries Ouranos, it's rare for you to call for a meeting, is everything all right?" (Hephaestus)

"Everything is fine my dear, I called this meeting for a different reason. I would like to introduce you to my good friend here. Hephaestus, this is Magus, Magus this is Hephaestus, goddess of the…." (Ouranos)

I cut him off once more.

"Goddess of fire, Smithing, and the Forge. Or more specifically, Blacksmithing, Craftsmanship, and Metallurgy. It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Magus E. Mor." (Magus)

I extended my hand to shake, and she repeated my action while being a little surprised.

"Y-yes, yes that's correct Magus, it's nice to meet you. Most people don't realize the differences between my domains." (Hephaestus)

She quickly got over her surprise and gave me a nod of recognition.

She looked over at Freya and gave a friendly but guarded hello which Freya lightly responded to absentmindedly, she was too busy being shocked over something else.

Ever since Hephaestus walked in, I decided to lightly prank Freya a bit and started playing with the shape of my soul.

The ordinary-looking soul that made her lose interest at first began to change colors and take on different shapes.

It turned golden, then pitch black, then bright pink, and kept changing while the shape formed into fish, dragons, even male genitalia.

While Hephaestus and I were speaking, I turned it into a smiley face emoji and winked at her.

She was pretty good at hiding her shock, but her eyes gave her away.

She was dumbstruck.

It was pretty funny to see.

"So, was this meeting just for an introduction?" (Hephaestus)

I was about to speak when Ouranos cut me off.

"Just a minute more, we are waiting for one other." (Ouranos)

Hephaestus sighed.

*Sigh* Where is that troublesome goddess." (Hephaestus)

As if answering her question, the door opened again.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late! I haven't been sleeping well these days." (Loki)

The goddess Loki entered the room with a loud yawn and bags under her eyes.

She has light red hair and red eyes and was dressed up in a tomboyish style with short jeans and a shirt that showed off her stomach. Her hair was tied back in a simple ponytail. She had a unique type of beauty that, despite her smaller size, gave off a dangerous and mischievous vibe.

She trudged across the room to us.

"Honestly Loki, you should take better care of yourself." (Hephaestus)

Hephaestus admonished her in a friendly but slightly worried tone.

"I am, I am, I've just been troubled for a few days. I'll be fine." (Loki)

It was only then that she looked at the rest of us, I quickly cast a light notice-me-not charm for fun.

"Hey Freya, hey old man, what did you call me over for?" (Loki)

Ouranos gave me an annoyed look while Freya easily noticed me casting magic and lightly laughed at my prank.

"Thank you for coming Loki, I want to introduce you to my good friend Magus here, Magus this is Loki goddess of…." (Ouranos)

He got cut off for the third time, but it wasn't me this time.

"AH! IT'S YOU!" (Loki)

Loki's tired eyes snapped open, and she pointed at me dramatically. As soon as Ouranos said my name and pointed at me, the charm was canceled.

"Indeed it is~ it's a pleasure to see you again Loki, we didn't exactly talk last time, but my name is Magus E. Mor." (Magus)

I reached for her hand to kiss the back of it, but my hand got clamped by a firm grip.

"You're not getting away from me this time!" (Loki)

Loki spoke with a fierce smile.

I responded with one of my own.

"We will just have to find out, won't we~?" (Magus)

I cast a frictionless charm, and my hand slipped easily out of her grip much to her surprise, which resulted in her falling forward.

Of course, I did the gentlemanly thing and stepped to the side as she fell on her face.

*Pft* (Hephaestus + Freya)

Even those two goddesses couldn't help but laugh.

"Oi! You're supposed to catch the damsel! Are you even a man!" (Loki)

Loki looked up at me and complained.

I looked around in confusion.

"Damsel? Where is she? And of course I am a man. Would you like me to show you proof~?" (Magus)

I was only intending to tease her, but I got a surprising answer.

""Yes!"" (Loki + Freya)

They both looked at each other in surprise, I don't think they meant to answer like that.

'Did I take my teasing too far?'

I reached out my hand to help Loki up which she took and avoided eye contact for a second.

Ouranos broke out of his depression and managed to speak up.

"*Cough* Like I was saying before, Magus, this is Loki, the goddess of…" (Ouranos)

I couldn't help myself.

"The goddess of tricksters, shapeshifting, magic, and to a minor degree fire." (Magus)

Ouranos sunk into his chair, muttering about disrespectful youngsters while I once again had a surprised goddess facing me.

"Most people only remember my trickster domain." (Loki)

Freya stepped up after having calmed down a bit, but her interest in me was clear to see.

"Indeed Magus, you have an excellent understanding of our domains. Where did you learn about them?" (Freya)

"Hm~ Let's just say I have an outstanding information network." (Magus)

"And it includes us?" (Hephaestus)

She raised her eyebrow at me.

"Of course~ it's quite extensive, and you three are the face of this city. Plus, you three have each made your own impacts on this city, so it's important to know you before opening up shop." (Magus)

"And what exactly have we done?" (Loki)

Loki looked at me in curiosity and invaded my personal space.

Out of habit, I patted her head like I would for Akame.

"Hm~ Lots of things~ However, let's keep that information for another time~." (Magus)

"Boo! That's boring!" (Loki)

Loki showed her disapproval for my answer, but she never fought against my hand.

Hephaestus chose to cut in.

"Opening up shop? You have a business?" (Hephaestus)

"*cough* Yes, the reason I called this meeting was for Magus to meet you three, and to get your public backing for the business he is about to open." (Ouranos)

"Why would he need our backing?" (Loki)

I wryly smiled at her.

"Your city has a strange habit of making mysterious individuals out to be criminals. It's not surprising with how much crime there is, but I wanted to avoid a cliché situation where I'm given some evil villain type of name and chased around by your Familia's pointlessly.

I mean really, who in their right mind thought 'Evilus' was a good name?" (Magus)

That got interesting looks from the three goddesses.

It only took a minute before Loki was the first to burst.

"AHAHAHA! How did I never see that!" (Loki)

Hephaestus and Freya woke up from that and also started laughing, although much more refined then Loki.

"Indeed, I never really thought more on it." (Freya)

"Same here, I always mentally pictured them negatively without thinking about the name." (Hephaestus)

"You see~ And your backing is more for the beginning to reassure the public that I mean no harm with my business. If the three of you step forward, then no one will be worried." (Magus)

"And what would that business be?" (Freya)

Freya was still staring at my soul in fascination, but she was able to focus when my purpose for being here was brought up.

I gave them a mysterious smile.

"In simple terms, it would be an auction house." (Magus)

That got raised eyebrows.

"That's it?" (Loki)

She sounded bored.

"Haha~ Its definitely not so simple, but that's the main part of it. In a few days, you will be to see something exciting. Of course, I'm not asking for free, I've brought gifts for you three." (Magus)

"Oh?" (Freya)

I smiled and waved my hand for three baskets to appear from thin air and float to each goddess.

"Wha..?"

"Was that.?" (Loki)

"Spatial magic?" (Freya)

Deciding to skip over the annoying cliché of my magic being rare, I directed their attention to the baskets.

"Each of you will be given a single VIP pass to my establishment, the pass has many benefits that I will let you discover on your own, but I will say it allows you to bring along a small party of five others at max.

Along with the pass, I prepared a unique gift for each of you." (Magus)

Without being able to stop and question it, they each took their basket.

"For the beautiful Freya, I gift you with rare beauty products, including skin creams, scented oils, and a few sample products. They were all made from mana enriched ingredients and were made with recipes made by professionals." (Magus)

Freya looked happy and interested.

"My~ These do look interesting~ Would you be willing to instruct me on their proper use?" (Freya)

She gave me a flirtatious smile and hit me with her charm again, but this time it was intentional.

I smiled and waved it off.

"My apologies, but maybe next time." (Magus)

Instead of getting put off, she only looked more excited.

'The hell?'

I could have sworn I've seen that smile somewhere before, but I was too busy to think more about it.

"For the confident smith Hephaestus, I gift you with a challenge." (Magus)

She raised an eyebrow at me in interest.

"A challenge?" (Hephaestus)

"Yup~ I have gifted you with two blades I have personally made, one is enchanted while the other is not. Along with that are some rare metals that I used to forge them. My challenge is to try and make something better with the same materials~." (Magus)

Hephaestus looked like she wanted to say something but withheld it to look in her basket, and her eyes widened.

"That's impossible! There shouldn't be any metal I have never seen before!" (Hephaestus)

She picked up the ingots of ebony and stalhrim and stared at them in fascination. Rather than angry, she was an excited kind of shocked.

Then she picked up the short knives I made from the same metals.

They were simple products I made for fun with my endless supply of metals.

An unenchanted ebony dagger and a frost damage enchanted stalhrim dagger.

"These blades are magnificent; I can't immediately tell how they were forged! Did you truly make them?!" (Hephaestus)

(AN: In this world, Hephaestus is a world god, she doesn't know the techniques and knowledge from different worlds. Of course, with enough time, she would figure out how to recreate any weapon.)

She turned to me in the excitement of finding a fellow dedicated blacksmith.

I smiled and nodded.

"Yup~ The black blade is made from a metal called ebony. It's highly mana conductive and has a strong durability. You can think of it as a mix between adamantium and mithril but not as effective as each metal is individually.

The silver blade is made from a metal called stalhrim. It has the same properties as ebony, but it leans toward frost enchantments much more and won't be very useful with other elemental types. I personally enchanted that one to show you." (Magus)

She unsheathed the stalhrim dagger and looked at it in fascination as a cold mist left the blade.

"Amazing…" (Hephaestus)

She put it back and looked at me with respect and a smile.

"I accept your challenge Magus, no one can defeat me in my domain." (Hephaestus)

She spoke confidently, and I nodded back at her.

"I'm looking forward to it~." (Magus)

I turned to the last goddess, who was surprisingly being patient and had been staring at me in curiosity.

'That's a shame, I was hoping to mess with her.'

"For the mischievous Loki, I gift you with something I also personally created. I call it a prankers package~." (Magus)

"Oh~?" (Loki)

Her eyes lit up, and she reached for the basket and pulled out a rectangular box.

Upon opening it, what appeared was a single encased sphere, a small bag of candy gumballs, and one of my newer creations, a container with those old Chinese 'popper' fireworks but I enchanted them to have much more 'pop,' and you can input a word or phrase for it to spell out in sparks when it pops.

"The instructions for each items use are on the side. However, I advise taking the warnings seriously~." (Magus)

I spoke with a sing-song voice, but I was incredibly wary about that sphere.

'I will never fall for that ever again. It should be fun to see the chaos Loki creates though haha~.'

"Oh! This is awesome! No one ever wants to join my pranks these days *Fake sob*." (Loki)

She looked at me like a comrade, and I nodded.

"Don't worry, VIP's get discounts." (Magus)

She laughed at that, and I turned to all of them.

"Including all of that, you will each find a single bottle of liquor that you won't find in this city, a communication orb to contact me if necessary, and a small present that I ask you to open in private." (Magus)

Freya and Hephaestus looked in their basket and saw the items.

"This is a lot to gift, you know?" (Hephaestus)

"Let's say I want to make a good impression." (Magus)

She nodded.

"As long as it's not illegal and you have Ouranos's support, I will publicly back your establishment." (Hephaestus)

Freya spoke up then.

"These gifts are indeed interesting~. You will have my support as well. Did you say these communication orbs are connected to you~?" (Freya)

'Now I swear I've seen that look before somewhere, but where? I know she's a pervert, but that still doesn't fit.'

I nodded.

"I will not be making a public appearance unless necessary, these orbs will let you contact me if you need anything." (Magus)

"I see, thank you for these gifts, I will make sure to contact you soon~." (Freya)

I nodded before my personal space was once more invaded by a specific redhead.

"A magic prank kit, rare liquor, and a playful hunk? Marry me please!" (Loki)

Loki practically demanded while gripping my shoulder, which was funny since she had to stand on her toes to barely reach it.

I patted her head again out of instinct and responded.

"My apologies Loki, I am already taken~." (Magus)

Loki froze before responding.

""What?!"" (Loki + Freya)

The two-goddess looked incredibly annoyed at that. Even Hephaestus had a disappointed look.

'wtf? It's been less than an hour, why are they so bothered by this?'

""Who?"" (Loki + Freya)

They both spoke again but in different tones.

Sensing slight amounts of hostility in their voice made me change tunes.

I released some of my alpha predator aura that caused my eyes to become slits and my hair to wave around my head like a mane, and they both took a step back in shock while I spoke in a cold voice.

"I do not mind questions aimed at myself, but I will not release information on my wives. While they can handle themselves, I am very protective and will not stand by if they are threatened." (Magus)

The tension grew thick, and the goddesses couldn't help but shake. They may be millions of years old, but they rarely faced the full bloodlust of an alpha predator. Most beings of this world never even think of attacking a god due to cultural brainwashing, so it must have shocked them.

Ouranos decided to cut in after slacking off and going back to reading his manga in the background.

"Freya, Loki, that was out of line." (Ouranos)

I pulled back my aura, and the tension disappeared.

'Shit, that was a bit much.'

"My apologies, I am very overprotective of my loved ones." (Magus)

The goddess's got their breaths back and spoke.

"No, I should be the one to apologize." (Loki)

"Indeed, I apologize Magus, that was very rude of me." (Freya)

I nodded.

"Don't worry, no harm done~." (Magus)

"You must really love them." (Hephaestus)

I looked at her in surprise.

'I wouldn't expect those words from her.'

I gave her a gentle smile.

"With my heart and soul." (Magus)

She blushed a bit and nodded with a small smile.

"I think that should be enough for one day." (Ouranos)

'I agree.'

I confirmed their support and said my farewells while telling them what day to expect the big opening.

'Finally done with that. These goddesses were a bit different than how I expected. It's a good thing I managed to sneak in those special presents for each of them. I only thought about it after the meeting started.

Freya's looks still bug me, it's not a perverted or insane look like she had for Bell, but I can't help but feel its familiar. Eh, it will hit me eventually.

I took a look at her soul and saw a lot of chaos; her divinities were actually fighting for dominance. I was honestly surprised by her soul's purity. Sure, she had a moderate amount of corruption, but it wasn't nearly close to the trash you would find in most criminals.

It was almost like watching a small boat (her consciousness) being pushed around by giant waves (her divinities), and the small boat was desperately trying to stay afloat.

I have no idea what her divinities want, but I have a good guess of her problem. A world god is not meant to hold so many divinities, only one who is free from the constraints of a world would be able to.

Love and Beauty are not, in fact, compatible divinities. They are very different, and while on the surface they mix, deeper down, they will fight each other. The same for fertility and death, they have places they mix and places they fight.

And all four were being guided along by a divinity for material possession. I can't form an opinion without further understanding her, but I already pity her. None of her divinities are simple.

Moving on, Hephaestus was surprisingly chill, she might be a cool friend to work on projects with. I'll just have to see where that goes.

Loki was the biggest surprise; I'm not some dense protagonist that can't see her interest in me, but why was she trying so hard? Whatever, it's not my problem.

Let's go find Akame; I want to cuddle and forget all these other thoughts~.'

Once out of the room, I shadow traveled home, unconcerned with the aftereffects of the meeting.

*Line Break*

After the meeting:

Freya POV:

Laying nude in my bed, I couldn't help but think back to the meeting I just had.

'A man who could completely resist my charm. An attractive and intelligent man who could resist my charm and can hide his soul from my sight. An attractive and intelligent man who could resist my charm, hide his soul from my sight, and release such a….dominating presence…*Moooann*

I want him. I want him. I want to make him mine.

I want to control him, no, I want to love him, no, I want him to ride him, no, I want to see his soul.

GGRRR!

Why can I never decide what I want! I finally found the first man, mortal or god, who could resist my charm so casually! I refuse to ruin my chance of wooing him!

He said he had wives, right? If he has more than one partner, then there is hope for another. But what if I accidentally charm his wives? Seeing how overprotective he was at the slightest hostility, I can't do that!

I can't even control my charm! And this is the downgraded version. My real body's charm is tens of times more potent, and I can only direct it! How long has it been since someone has resisted it?

And for it to be such a man?

I want him!'

In my mental tantrum, I accidentally knocked over the basket he gifted me, which resulted in the items being scattered on the floor.

I turned my head and absentmindedly look over at them and spotted a small box.

'Oh, that's right, I had forgotten about the extra gift he said to open in private.'

I picked it up and opened it.

Laying inside was a silver chain bracelet with an unknown stone lying in the center.

I raised an eyebrow at that.

'It's nice, but why would he gift me jewelry on our first meeting?'

I slid it on my wrist in curiosity and felt an electrifying, but gentle heat flow threw my body.

*Mooann*

It traveled from my wrist to my head and down to my toes.

'What in the world was that? A bracelet that gives sexual pleasure? No, wait…'

My mind blanked out for a second.

"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?" (Freya)

I jumped up out of bed and examined myself.

'My charm…it's not…it's not out of my control anymore?'

I tested it out, and for the first time that I could remember, my charm that was always wrapped around my body like a bubble seeped into my skin and stopped being emitted outwards.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Goddess! Are you all right?" (Ottar)

I turned toward the door.

'My shout must have alerted him.'

"Come in~" (Freya)

Ottar walked inside and looked around for threats before his eyes rested on my naked body in slight confusion and worry.

I smiled at him.

"Ottar dear~ Do I look different to you?" (Freya)

Ottar would never lie to me.

"Freya-Sama, I am not sure? You look the same, but that magnetic attraction you always emit is not there?" (Ottar)

'So, it's not my imagination.'

"Thank you dear~ That will be all for now." (Freya)

He nodded and didn't ask anything more before leaving.

I looked down at the bracelet on my arm and smiled.

'Oh, Magus. I don't know how you got such a thing or knew to give it to me, but that doesn't matter now, you have my full attention~.'

3rd Person POV:

Magus had no idea that the look on Freya's face was the same look his first Yandere fan had before she went full Yandere.

(AN: Freya, the broken woman. A mix of a despairing, lonely woman looking for her true love, an extreme yandere, a vicious leader, a hopeless pervert, and more. Why do so many fics make her evil? She is not evil. She is broken. And Canon shit with Bell was bull.)

Hephaestus POV:

I sat at my desk and stared at the two daggers in my hands.

A pitch-black blade and a pure silver blade emitting a chilled mist.

'What a strange day. I never expected to meet a man who actually knew my full divinities and didn't just call me the blacksmith goddess.

He was definitely handsome, but what really got me was his abilities as a smith. And he can enchant to!

These blades show a high level of skill and attention to detail.

And I have never even heard of these metals before! Where on this planet did he find them? In the dungeon perhaps? No, he just arrived. Will he be selling more of it?

And that aura and bloodlust he let off when those foolish women tried to ask about his wives while emitting hostility.

I felt like I was being stared at by one of the beasts from a great quest. And I'm ashamed to admit it aroused me.

But that smile he gave me when I asked about his love, it was incredibly sincere.

I felt like I could feel his love through that smile.

*Sigh* I would never have a chance, especially with a curse like mine.'

My hand subconsciously moved to my eyepatch out of habit.

I've been ridiculed and spoken poorly of for as long as I can remember because of a curse I was born with.

It was only when I showed my abilities as a smith that everyone quieted down or risk offending me, but they never stopped.

I slapped my hands on my checks.

"Enough with this moping behavior, it's just how my life is, let's get back to work."

I got up and accidentally bumped the gift basket on my desk, which resulted in an item I forgot about moving into my sight.

'Oh, right, I forgot about the extra gift.'

I picked up the box and opened it to find…a vial?

I pulled it out and read the label.

"Pheonix tears? Capable of healing any wound and breaking any curse? Is this a sick joke? Pheonix's don't exist.

*Sigh* And here I thought we could at least be friends, it turns out he's just another person who mocks me." (Hephaestus)

It hurt, but it wasn't anything new.

I was about to throw it out when something stopped me.

'That smile he gave me, it was genuine. I've never seen that smile from someone who mocked me.'

Hesitantly, I pulled my hand back and looked at the vial again.

'Might as well just try it, it's not like it makes much of a difference.'

I pulled open the cap and downed it.

Hey, when I make a choice, I'm very decisive.

'It tastes sweet, but is that is? I don't feel any differ….'

"AH!"

I felt a fire expand from my stomach and spread throughout my body. It went down to my toes and through my arms before moving like a wave toward my head and stopped at my eye.

"Ahhh~ *Moan*."

The first feeling wasn't pain, but it just surprised me, and then it hit my eye and began with a slight itch before it turned into a soothing flame that relaxed my entire body.

'What….what is this…and how…wait! This isn't only affecting my avatar!'

The heat didn't stop with just my avatar; it extended into the invisible mana strings connecting me to my main body back in heaven and followed the path all the way up.

'What is this!? How is this possible!?'

Despite my thoughts, the relaxing flame didn't stop until a few minutes had passed.

'Did it really work?'

I pulled out a hand mirror from my desk and hesitantly reached up for my eyepatch.

'I want to check, but... I'm afraid to. Fuck! Hephaestus, man up! You're tougher than that.'

With a firm nod, I roughly pulled off the eyepatch and got stunned.

The deformed and ugly looking skin I had seen for my entire life was gone.

I reached up with my hand to feel it, and it felt just like my other eye.

'It…it really worked?... Is this a dream?'

I fell back in my chair and stared stupidly at the mirror.

It took a good twenty minutes before I stopped staring at the mirror and looked over at the empty vial.

'He didn't lie….and he wasn't mocking me…'

I smiled.

'What a strange man.'

I looked over at the metal ingots he gave me and stood up.

'Prepare yourself Magus, I accepted your challenge, and I will make something that will shock you.'

3rd person POV:

Magus never realized that curse he casually helped Hephaestus cure had larger repercussions then he could have imagined.

Loki POV:

{Pop!} {Pop!} {Pop!}

"Hahaha!"

"Someone stop her!"

"Goddess! Please stop!"

"These things are pissing me off!"

{Pop!} {Pop!}

"Hahaha! You can never catch this beautiful and sexy goddess~!" (Loki)

After leaving the meeting, I walked around the city for a bit and thought about Magus.

The hunk was the perfect package! Intelligent, confident, playful, had strong and strange magic, and his aura! *Moan* I almost climaxed despite my fear back then.

Freya and Hephaestus probably didn't realize, but when I made contact with his body, I was finally able to clearly feel his mana!

It was so…dark…but so warm. It was insane. I can't even tell if he is mortal or not. The first time I was sure he wasn't because I never saw him before, but now, I'm just confused!

But he was taken!

It was definitely those beautiful women I saw him with the first time!

The annoying thing was that I'm also attracted to them!

Grr! With my thoughts going in circles, I reached my mansion and decided to let off some steam with the prank kit I was gifted.

I pulled out the box that was labeled 'poppers' and let loose on my Familia.

At their feet! *Pop* "Ah! What the hell!?"

Behind them! *Pop* "Woah!"

In the dining hall! *Pop* *Clatter* *Shatter* "What the fuck!"

In the women's showers! *Pop* "KYA!" "Dammit Loki!"

I let loose everywhere, and every popper would release a message I put into it beforehand in a shower of sparks.

'Sucker' 'Too slow' 'Almost got me~' 'Put your back into it' 'it wasn't me.'

'I have no idea how this was made, but its so much fun!'

An hour into the fun and one of my level 3's cast a spell that raised the ground I was running on and caused me to trip, and a round sphere fell out of my pockets.

My eyes widened in fear even while I heard my main Familia members, the three level 6's, and the up and coming members walk into the mansion, and all I could think of was the description I read for the sphere.

[Item: Magic Onion Capsule.

Use: Cause extreme suffering to your enemies. *Non-Lethal*

Warning: NEVER use this item if you are within ten meters of it or inside the enclosed space it was thrown into. If you are pregnant, please ask your doctor if this item is safe for you.

Thank you for your purchase ]

I watched in slow motion as the ball hit the ground, and the capsule shattered into pieces.

{PPOOOOFFF!}

"AAAHH!" (Familia Member)

"MY EYES!" (Familia Member)

"MY NOSE!" (Dog-Human Familia Member)

"MY EVERYTHING!" (Very sensitive Familia Member)

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!" (Bete)

"…*Silent tears*…" (Ais)

"THIS IS WORSE THEN TIONE'S GAS!" (Tiona)

"SHUT UP TIONA!" (Tione)

"WHAT IS THIS ABOMINATION!" (Riveria)

"Grrr, Finn! Is this an attack!?" (Gareth)

"My thumb is silent! It was probably Loki's doing!" (Finn)

My entire Familia, the whole Loki Familia, one of the strongest groups in the whole world, was down for the count for fifteen full minutes.

I would have laughed harder than I had in years if I wasn't suffering right along with them.

'Non-Lethal my ass Magus! I will get you for this!'

After a few hours of calming down and recovery efforts, I had to apologize to my Familia.

I finally retired to my room tired but satisfied with the mischief I caused and remembered that there was an extra present in the basket.

I sat down on my bed and pulled out the small box.

I opened it to find a single beautiful earing lying inside.

'This is beautiful, but isn't is strange to gift jewelry right from the start?'

I shrugged and decided to try it on and immediately felt strange.

'Why do I feel…off?'

I closed my eyes and felt for what changed only for my eyes to snap open in surprise.

"No way…" (Loki)

I lifted my hand in front of myself and summoned a fireball like usual.

However, instead of the usual finger-sized flame, I got a softball-sized fireball.

"Did this guy just gift me a mana focus?! And it works for me!? I'm a goddess! That's impossible!" (Loki)

Mana focuses are common in the forms of staffs and special weapons, but that's for mortals!

A god or goddesses mana, if they are even able to use it, is far too dense and powerful and would immediately overload any focus.

I would know, I've tried hundreds of them trying to regain a bit of my abilities from back in heaven.

I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection wearing the earing and couldn't help but blush at seeing how well it matched me.

'Who are you Magus?'

*Line Break*

Mansion:

"Let me get this straight.

You're telling me you gave these three women an extra gift that we didn't all agree on because you felt bad?" (Bella)

I nodded from my position on sitting in seiza while Akame was melting on my lap.

Why am I sitting in seiza and being questioned? Well, I just came home and told the girls what happened at the meeting.

"Yes." (Magus)

"Hahahaha~!" (Yoru)

Yoru was on the ground laughing while Bella sighed and slapped her forehead.

"*Sigh* Magus, you're not dense. Do you not realize the effects your gifts would have?" (Bella)

I gave her a confused look while my hands never stopped fluffing Akame.

"What do you mean? I did it because I felt bad, and I figured it would motivate them to fulfill the promise to support us publicly?" (Magus)

Bella gave me a nod.

"True, those are two good points, but dear, you are missing the main issue." (Bella)

"Love~ You can't just give a single woman something she desperately wants but never thought it was possible to have without anything in return and not expect her to chase after you." (Yoru)

Yoru rolled over and leaned against my back while whispering that into my ear.

I thought about that and started to feel a bit nervous.

"She's right dear, it doesn't matter the reason; it could be curiosity, love, desire, or anything else. But we most likely are going to have three world goddesses that are going to do anything to sink their claws into you." (Bella)

I paused my fluffing movements for a moment only to get a foxtail to the face to remind me not to stop.

'Did I really go that far? Eh, screw it.'

I looked back up at Bella and used a shadow tendril to pull her into our impromptu group hug.

"Ah!" (Bella)

I smiled at her and gave her a kiss before speaking.

"Now that you say that, I can see it wasn't the best idea, but I still don't regret it. I love you girls, and I will never be easily swayed to open my heart to more even if grandpa wants me to have more. I will never hide anything from you girls, and you all know that." (Magus)

They smiled back at me.

"Well, it looks like I'll just have to trust you~ It Doesn't mean I won't smack a bitch for trying to make a move on my man." (Bella)

"Yeah~ I'll have to keep a close watch on you love~, you never know when they will try and sneak up on you~." (Yoru)

"Mn, becoming our sister is not simple." (Akame)

I looked at the girls on me and gently smiled at them.

"I love you girls." (Magus)

"""I love you too~.""" (The girls)

*Line Break*

A few days later on a Saturday night:

Orario:

3rd person POV:

Standing on the air above the bustling city, a man in a stylish open coat and a mask that covered his face smiled and spoke.

"It's showtime." (The man)

"Zul Mey Gut!"

The man shouted in a strange voice that spread throughout the entire city and whispered a phrase into the ears of every citizen.

'Come outside!' was the message.

The streets quickly became packed, and the man smiled and laughed.

*Snap*

He snapped his fingers and music, fireworks and spotlights flashed on all around the city.

{Whistle} {BOOM} {Whistle} {BOOM}

Fireworks exploded throughout the sky, and the citizens stared up in both amazement and alertness.

The music spread throughout the area, and everyone held their breath for something to happen.

Finally, the wildly revolving spotlights all gathered in one spot in the sky where everyone focused their gazes.

The man standing on the air summoned a microphone and took a deep breath before speaking.

"LAAADDDIIIEEEES AND GEEEENTLEEEEEMEEEN! ARE YOU READY TO BE AMAZED!" (The man)

The city was about to be rocked to its core.

-To Be Continued-

Author notes:

SO! Which of the three goddesses do you want to join Magus and the girls? MWAHAHA I have set all three up as possibilities, now you will never know who I will choose! Or maybe I won't choose any of them! MWAHAHA

Novel Recommendation:

Novelplanet / novelupdates:

Seoul Station's Necromancer – A Korean necromancer type web novel. I read this one a long time ago, and I really enjoyed it. I never managed to read it a second time, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. That ending though, it mind fucked me.

Konjiki no Moji Tsukai – This was a great Japanese isekai type novel. It was honestly a lot of fun, had good action, and the MC was smart while weaker and badass OP when stronger. He doesn't take shit from anyone. When the MC was summoned in chapter 1-2 by a king, he straight up said I'm not interested and left for a solo journey.

Legend – This was a very unique novel. It's still ongoing, but I really do enjoy it. The MC wakes up in a fantasy world where he was transmigrated into an artificial body made by a group of OP magicians who secluded themselves from the rest of the world because of countries' greed for their abilities. They unfortunately died, but their legacy remained until the MC was summoned. He takes on their will and what was left behind for him and went out into the world to be an adventurer.

He is smart, cool-looking, strong, has a magical beast companion, and uses a scythe! I fucking love that weapon. Action, adventure, slice of life, it's a fun read.

Fanfiction:

Rising of the Isekai Mess by KillianAstar – This is a crackfic, and I legit love it. I don't even have to say much, ill just use the intro.

Post-killer ant arc Killua from Hunter X Hunter, Hajime from Arifureta, The MC from Goblin Slayer, and Kazuma from Konosuba.

All four get summoned into the shield hero world as the new heroes. Enjoy the beautiful chaos!

The Ōtsutsuki Transmigrant by fg7dragon – Harry Potter X Naruto fic. The fic follows a different path from the usual canon where Harry becomes immortal and ends up having a Nice and Helpful Kaguya Otsutsuki inside his head. Great and fun fic that eventually ends up in the Skryim world later on.

The Black Empyrean Dragon God Emperor by captcabbages – This is a fun DXD fic with an OC who ends up in that world with gamer abilities but WWAAAYYY before the canon. I'm talking about thousands of years before canon. OC X Serafall.

I'm Still Here by kathryn518 – A scarred Harry Potter at the end of the war enters an alternate reality of his own world. Interesting read.

Opening Dangerous Gates by LadyD0544 – Bleach X Fairy tail fic. Lucy ends up with two sets of new keys. One that summons a random Shinigami Captain, and the other set summons one random Hollow Espada. It's pretty funny to read.

The Lazy Death God by makoto x chelia – Bleach fic with an OP OC who is too lazy to actually do anything. It's pretty funny.
