M, waking up and into the factory with me.

  “Good m, Brian.” A certain red-haired dhampir was also there. She had realized where her system support had been just a few seds earlier. As she had learned how to ge her clothes in the factory, she was now ba her darker adventuring gear, not the clothes I or Mia gave her.

  “Good m, Lua. How are you doing?”

  “... well, something happened.”

  “Something good or bad?”

  “I guess it is good. But it's a bit difficult to expin. You are ing to the vilge today, right?”

  “Yeah. That was the pn.”

  “Then I’ll tell you about it there. But the short version is that I got a reward from the system mission and some of the missioails ged a bit.”

  “.... wait? You did?”

  “Yes, I did.”

  “What is it?”

  “I’ll tell you in the vilge, if you wait that long.”

  “... I guess I . Even if I do want to know now.”

  “You are so spoiled.”

  “Well, I guess.”

  “Oh, also, I mao make some blood iroerday, as well as a single piece of vampiric steel.” I informed Lua.

  “Oh? That’s amazing. You did that so fast.”

  “Yeah. But it's only one ingot and it is quite low in quality.” I admitted.

  “That’s still great.”

  “Thanks. We also made some gaus for Ria from blood iron, so look forward to seeing those.”

  “Yes. Do you have any I buy?”

  “... sorry, but all of it was used on the gaus. Other than that, I only have the ingot of vampiric steel.”

  “Oh. I see. That’s too bad.”

  “And it’s not like we could make anything out of blood iron, even if we had some. The vilge doesn’t have a smithy.”

  “But I just transform it, right?”

  “Well, kind of. It apparently has something called a ‘default state’, which is set at the end of the f process. And the blood iron, or vampiric steel, wants to return to that state, unless trolled with blood magic.”

  “Ah. I didn’t know that.”

  “her did I, so…”

  “Well, not like anyone in the vilge knew you could bend blood iron with blood magi the first pce. I wonder how that teique was lost.”

  “No idea. Laura, do you know?”

  “Historic records aren’t that well kept and they are only for advanced and perfect level system supports.”

  “Why?”

  “The System sees them as unnecessary. Generally, os lio signifit people or system support holders are recorded.”

  “So my life is?”

  “Both yes and no. The major parts, like you founding a dungeon, the time you got your spirits blessing and, of course, the time when Miss Lucia gained her system support are recorded, but most things are not. And as the loss of a teique such as the trol of blood iron might be seen as something big, at the time, it would have been nothing for the System. In all likelihood, there is a detailed file on how that teique is done, hidden away only for perfect level system supports to read.”

  “... ho desighe System like that?”

  “I don’t know. There are no records about any sort of creator.”

  “Unless you are perfect, right?”

  “Exactly.”

  “... why do I feel like you are saying all of this just so I’ll get you to advanced?”

  “I would hough I would enjoy that very much.”

  I turned back to Lua, only to realize she was just staring at the two of us, speechless.

  “... “

  “What?”

  “... fet it. It’s nothing.”

  I guess o thing worth mentioning before I get on with the day, Laura did fully plete A Sanctuary for me.

  Sadly, nothing that crazy is in this set. I guess The Agent of Creation - Venus is alright, but at the end of the day, just having something that summons out an unlimited amount of Shine Balls isn’t that amazing. And I guess Sor Fre Dragons are alright as well.

  In all hoy, the best card from the set might just be Micro Ray. Just because with it, I shrink down a Hungry Burger after I cook it up with Mystik Wok, just so I have something the size of a regur burger to eat.

  After breakfast, we (myself and Ria) picked up Agatha in Overdrive. Like st time, we were going to go outside the walls with Overdrive, before sing into Big Core a bit outside of the city.

  “Good m Agatha.” I said as she got into Overdrive.

  “M.” She responded as she got in. Ria was in the back seat, so the shotgu en fatha.

  We got a move on towards the outer wall of the city.

  “Brian, do you have any idea what you have done?” Agatha asked.

  “... Okay, what are you referring to?” That questio actually solve anything.

  What have I done now? The blood iron? No, Agatha shouldn’t know about that.

  Draining Tyrant Dragon for blood? Would Agatha know that either?

  “MY ARM, of course. Do you have any idea hoeople have asked about it? And then there are all of these scales on top of that.”

  “So? I thought you would have sidered that part before you agreed to have it regrown. Of course people will ask. And I get rid of the scales everywhere, but on that arm if you really wao, but I wouldn’t reend it, as that arm will feel more off to you if I do.” After all, if I just MST the installed Dragonic Attack, the scales on her, outside of that arm, will go back tur skin. But as she will no longer be a draic warrior, the arm will feel even more fn to her.

  “What? You ? I mean, I suppose it makes sense, but how am I supposed to expin all of this? I even gaihe Language prehension Drai this”

  “Just bme it on a blessing of a dragon or something. That should do it.”

  “And just how would I have obtained something like that?”

  “No clue. e up with something. You agreed to this, so you make up the rest of the BS reasoning.”

  “... you really aren’t easy to work with, are you?”

  “No, I don’t think so. It’s more like it is difficult to expin things I do. W with me should be easy. W with others is hard. No one ever accepts the expnation of ‘it just happened’. If they did, life would be a lot easier.”

  “... wow. I knew you were like this, but still. How you be so easy going?”

  “I just am? I don’t know. And who even has been asking about your arm?”

  “Many people. Of course there are the advehat bring me blood, but also the knight ot ied. Oh, that reminds me, the other party has fully recovered and are back to hunting blood for me, so you no longer have to do it.”

  “Oh. And just when I figured out how to cheat the system and do it so easily.”

  “And what does that mean?”

  “Nothing. Fet it. We use it in emergencies, so if one es up, just ask me for extra blood.”

  “Do you just store it in your iory or something?”

  “Well, yes. I could do that, but I actually have a magic fsk holding it. It is easier to operate that way, instead of having to use blood magic every time I want to take some out.” I had thought about giving the remaining dragon blood for Ria, but I wao save some for the vilgers. She of course have her share, but just her share and not all of it. Treating her well and spoiling her are two different things.

  “... but I still o ask. If I happeo know someone who is also g an appendage, you would be willing trow it, right?”

  “For a cost, yes.”

  “You didn’t ask for any money from me.”

  “I know you. You are Lua’s mother and do a great job of taking care of Ria’s vilge. I don’t ask for money for my services from people I’m suffitly acquainted with. And admittedly, you were somewhat of a test subje this as well.”

  “... didn’t you say you tested it beforehand?”

  “I did, well Laura did, but she does it in a special way and it won’t guarahe exact same results. As in, I had no idea you would get that nguage prehension from the operation. I knew you would be a half dragon and that your arm is even more draic, but other than that, a lot of it is o me.”

  “So what about the Draic Attack racial skill? Did you know that one?”

  “No, but I did assume something like that might appear.”

  “... haah. Really? This is the level of nont you are?”

  “I might just be.”

  “But going bay previous point, are you really willing to do the same to someone else? Regrowing their limb, I mean?”

  “Sure, for a price. I don’t know how much it will be, but assume at least 100 gold s.”

  “... wow. I didn’t expect you to ask for that much.”

  “Sure I do it for cheaper, but I don’t want to devalue other people’s magid stuff. If I just do everything, others who used to make a living by doing these things would get super mad at me.”

  “You actually sidered something like that?”

  “Hey! I might be easy going, but I do think of others. Sometimes. And stepping on someone’s money is how wars start. And I don’t want to be the cause of a war.”

  “Why do I feel like you will be?”

  “Well, if I am, I’ll just have to annihite any army that tries to invade a fn nd.”

  “I don’t know if that was supposed to be reassuring, but it sounded more like you are just deranged.”

  “Lua? What happeo you?” I just had to ask when I saw Lua. She had … ged. Well, her clothing had. Her short hair had also been styled into a half-updo, not something I was expeg from her.

  “Yes. I know it looks strange. But I ’t trol it.” She answered.

  She was dressed in what I only call a gothic vampire dress. Bd dark purple in color. The bck part had some red embroidery, which looked like blood lilies, while the purple parts had lighter purple crosses embroidered on it.

  It was absolutely geous. The dress bined with her hairdo looked like something you’d wear to an evening party in the Royal pace or something. Where did she get something like that?

  “trol it? Your outfit? Where did you evehat?”

  “Remember what we talked about in that … factory pce this m. That is where I got this from. e o’s go to my room and I’ll expin.” Lua said, taking both me and Agatha ihe town hall. I actually thought Lua had been sleeping in her father’s old house, but apparently, she sleeps in the same room as her mother.

  “I guess this will be the fastest way to show you. Status Open.” Lua said after we had gotten into the room and locked the door.

  “Holy…” I almost yelled something out, but I was able to keep most of it in my mouth. God damn she is strong. She is actually higher level than I am, and I’m 62. I guess she has been using the level ups well.

  But based on what she is showihe thing she got as a reward is her unique skill. Dhampir Princess, huh. It does fit her. And with her new outfit, she does look like a princess.

  Wait. She said she ’t trol it, right? Does that mean that her new unique skill made her that outfit? I would say impossible, but it is a unique skill. My unique skills do way more than just s your outfits.

  “Well, Princess Lucia, what is your will?” I asked, slightly taunting her about her new skill.

  “Don’t call me that!” She yelled back. “I hate this! I hate all of this! This dress is so puffy and difficult. And my hair is all wrong!”

  “But you look geous.”

  “He is right, you know. I’ve never seen you so embellished. I thought I would have to wait for your wedding day to see you like that.” Agatha added.

  “Mom! Stop! The vilgers have been doing that for the entire m, until I ordered them to stop.”

  “Then there clearly is a reason they do that. You shouldn’t order them if they are telling the truth.”

  “Just Shut Up already! Do you think I want this?”

  …

  …

  …

  her I atha respoo that outcry. Perhaps we did go too far.

  “Mother, please leave. Brian, do you think you help me?”

  “... sure.” Agatha agreed ahe room.

  “so… what do you need? Actually, how did that even happen?”

  “... it’s a part of my new skill. I was just looking into the skill and when I was w about that part, this happened. And I have been like this sihen.”

  “’t you just use it again to ge back?”

  “Do you think I didn’t try? When I did, I was left pletely naked. … and I don’t have any other clothes here, as I left them at my mother’s pce before we came here, as I didn’t realize I would be staying here.”

  “So you need me to make you some with the Dungeon’s power?”

  “... yes, please.”

  “Alright. As this is an emergency. But please do know that it will e quite a lot of Geion points, as we aren’t in the dungeon.”

  I made Lua an outfit, not too uhe one I made for her in the factory a few days ago. Purple jeans, navy t-shirt and a bck hoodie. I wao add some color to at least the t-shirt, but Lua asked for darker colors. The dungeon also ’t add prints to the shirts like I in the factory.

  Also some basiderwear, socks and shoes. The shoes were based on my own sneakers. The sneakers were actually stupidly expeo make, so I really o analyze some shoes from this world, so I’ll be able to make some. Thankfully my shoes stayed intact when the rest of my clothing evaporated, so I didn’t have to go barefoot at that time. But I should still buy some back-up shoes.

  I left the clothes for Lua and walked out of the room so she could ge in peace.
