[Kireina] gained 66.932.957.654 EXP due to the prayers of your believers!] [LEVEL 074/250] [EXP 387.806.903.799/450.000.000.000] Today in the morning I woke to Nirah and Belle drinking my milk… I did not even detect them doing so while I was sleeping… well, with Belle it's fine, I suppose. But why is Nirah doing the same? I thought that she did not need to drink milk. I suppose because she sees me as her mother, she decided to imitate her sister Belle. I really did not want to annoy them, they seemed quite relaxed, satiating their hunger. Breastfeeding my children was ready a mystical experience, a connection was generated within me and them. It also made me dizzy, perhaps because they are constantly draining my nutrients… When Belle noticed that I woke up, she stopped drinking milk and moved her tail as if she were a lamia through the bed. She hugged me with her tiny arms and kissed my cheek. "Ma!" she said. "Hm? Belle-chan? Can you say, mama?" "Ma… ma!" she said. Uwah… she is about to say it! Belle seemed to be slightly frustrated, the words that she wanted to say seemed to not come out of her voice as she desired. However, bracing herself, she decided to try once again… "Mama!" she said. "Belle-chan! You say, mama! Adelle! Adelle! Wake up!" I woke Adelle who was peacefully sleeping at my side to the sight of her daughter. "Belle? Hm?" she asked. "Say it, Belle! Show it to your mother!" I said. Belle braced herself, trying her hardest to say the word once again. "Ma… Mama!" she shouted. As Adelle heard the words 'mama', her crystalline eyes became teary. "Yes, my Belle. I am your mama" she said, hugging our daughter. At the same time, Nirah also stopped voraciously drinking my milk and greeted me with a smile, her scarlet eyes shining brightly. "Mama!??? she said as well. Ah, these two are really so cute. So much fluff is bad for my health… "Hm?! Nirah was drinking your milk?! I-Is that okay with you?" asked Adelle. "Well… yes, I don't mind. She is my adoptive daughter now. She was hungry so I don't mind if that's the case… also it's not like you haven't drunk mine either" I said, teasingly. Adelle's pale white face became as red as a tomato. "Uwah! D-Don't say that in front of Belle…!" she said. "Fufu… Sorry. I do not think she understands anyways" I said. "Bah…" muttered Belle, as she hugged Adelle. "Mama! Mama!" said Nirah, entangling her tail around my shoulder and sitting there, then she began to rub her little face in my cheeks. Nirah nodded to Adelle's words, seemingly being able to understand them a bit. "Sister! Sister good!" she said. Belle then moved towards Nirah and sat down on my other shoulder. "They really like that spot, but I don't think they would be able to sit there for much longer… whenever they grow more, they will probably become too big," said Adelle. "I guess so… well, time to have some breakfast," I said. "Hm. Come on Belle-chan, come with mommy" said Adelle, as Belle jumped over her arms. "How about you drink some of my milk as well?" asked Adelle, revealing her breast to Belle, who began to think for a moment, but decided to drink milk, nonetheless. "W-Was she… comparing mine to yours?" wondered Adelle. "I-I don't think so! Why would our beloved daughter do such a thing? Haha…" I said. As everyone started to wake up, the Arachne Maids came forth to bring the delicacies of today's breakfast. Vudia and Ailine were sticking with me as well, each girl sitting in one of my legs. Nirah was with her 'big sister' Yiksukesh while receiving the spoiling of Zehe and Nesiphae who had taken a liking on her. Vajrara seemed rejected by Nirah once again, although she brought her some candies that the little girl accepted. Maybe she will buy her trust with candies? "Mommy, can we play with Belle-chan and Nirah-chan later on?" asked Vudia. "Yeah, I want to play!" said Ailine. "Hmm… What kind of play?" "To the dungeon!" said Vudia. "That's too dangerous, they're still very young, you know?" I said. "Ah… then on the training grounds? I want to see Belle and Nirah magic!" said Ailine. "I suppose you can. As long as you do not let them go overboard… I will send some Slime Clones to monitor things anyways" I said. "Alright!" said Vudia, her golden eye shining in excitement. It seems that the two girls were interested in the newborn powers and abilities. I suppose it is a normal thing to be interested about. I cannot say that I am not interested in it either. Patting my two adorable daughters, I began to think about what I should do today. There were several things on my to-do list. Perhaps the creation of the Dream Attribute Dungeon could be prioritized. As I had breakfast, I began to ponder which area could be befitting of such a dungeon… But I wonder where a Dream Attribute Dungeon could ever be… Where is the Dream Attribute stored in the Realm of Vida? Inside of any being thoughts? Minds? Souls? Wait… souls? Souls are often said to be the 'true self' of any living being… They store our minds, thoughts, and memories. Brains and the body's nerves can do the same, and they often support souls. But when a soul grows strong enough, the usage of flesh organs to store such things is usually secondary. My soul had reached a level where it can store many things. And the realm that had appeared inside of it… it's like a different space after all. Would it be possible to enter it and create a dungeon inside my soul? It was worth a try. After breakfast and a bath, I walked towards the training grounds with my daughters and saw them practicing magic. Nirah seemed to be able to naturally generate a poisonous aura, which was not as lethal as Megusan's original one, but I decided to cover my daughter with 'Aegis' so they could be relatively safe. Belle on the other side showcased a different aura that could create light and darkness, combined she created different mirages resembling dawns and eclipses. As I glanced at them do so, I divided my thoughts and began to inspect the inside of my 'Inner Realm; Soul World'. The Sin of Lust was constantly reincarnating the souls that I devoured into newborn children in my Empire, but I ordered it to stop in the meantime. I needed some kind of avatar inside of my Inner Realm. By infusing my own Aura inside of this world, I molded it into my image. I transferred part of my senses into it. Now I was able to experience the inside of this world in first-person… It was rather eerie, the floor seemed to be an endless crystalline ocean. The sky was shrouded in dark clouds twisting around like chaotic spirals of crimson, pink, and purple colors, and countless souls, resembling ethereal projections of beings I have previously eaten floated around aimlessly. They noticed me and instinctively approached me, but unlike I thought, they did not hold grudges against me. Instead, they treated me as if I were an entity above them. "Uaaah… Goddess… Goddess-samaaaa…" "So beautiful… so dazzling…" "Bring salvation… to ussss… pleaseee…" "Grawwwwl…" There were also some souls of animals and monsters, so several of them could not even speak, growling or hissing. "Stop crying around, you will get reincarnated in a bit… Now move away!" I shouted. Waving my hands, the souls ran away desperately. "Phew… some peace finally" I glanced at the void around, this space seemed to be almost endless, there was not any horizon no matter how far I glanced. "Could this be like my Divine Realm?" I tried to open my Item Box and it worked. Glancing at the vast list of items, I selected the [Greater Dungeon Core (Legendary)] item as a large crystal ball appeared, shining brightly, untainted of any element. I also saw that I had another Dungeon Core, a 'Premium Dungeon Core' that I obtained after the Athetosea War. I had intended to use it in the Forsaken Labyrinth, but I ended stealing the dungeon core instead with 'Dungeon Snatch'. I had used another core to create a small dungeon for Amiphossia, but that used a 'Lesser Dungeon Core' obtained on another occasion. While glaring at the 'Greater Dungeon Core' in my hands, I pondered how to exactly use it. "Should I just drop it?" I put it on the floor, as it floated over the crystalline water that made the 'floor' of this inner realm. As it floated, I touched it with one of my fingers as I conjured the two Nightmare Magic spells I knew, endlessly, infusing them into it like a flow of pink and dark mana. Flash! As if desperate to gain any energy, the sphere quickly reacted, absorbing everything, it glowed in pink, dark, and purple colors, creating mirages all around the inner realm. The 'floor' of my inner realm started to shake, the crystalline water became turbulent as it created waves all around, the souls flew away frightened, while the Sin of Lust glanced at this while floating in the air motionlessly. Suddenly, from within the water where the dungeon core had submerged itself into, large purple walls surged, made entirely out of bricks, one after another. Flash! Flash! Flash! In a few seconds, the entrance of a dungeon was created. The entrance was small, and it seemed to extend below the 'floor' of this inner realm. [Dungeon Core Incubation Success] [Initializing…] [Welcome, Dungeon Master; Kireina. You have become the official Master of the: Inner Dream and Nightmares Dungeon] "Should I explore while I'm at it? But I am just a 'clone' made by my Aura… well, why not?" And like this, I explored the dungeon created inside of my own soul… the purple walls extended through long corridors, wide ceilings and countless torches illuminated the dark and eerie place. From time to time, strange mirages would appear, trying to deceive to take on different routes, it seemed to be a 'labyrinth' type dungeon and not 'biome' type like Morpheus's one. "Hm? Oh, I thought I would never see them" A monster finally showed up, this should be a Dream Attribute Monster! It was a pink-colored horned rabbit, its fur was bright pink, and its horn seemed to be made of jewels. It had a peaceful nature. Waving my hand, and manipulating the aura that made my avatar, I impaled the creature with a spear-shaped aura attack. When it died, I felt a small number of Experience Points rushing through my real body… Wait, I can gain experience like this? I am not even moving or creating a second body. I decided to quickly 'eat' it with my aura avatar. I was already capable of devouring things with my aura, so this wasn't of any difficulty, although the flavors were dulled out a bit, the rabbit tasted quite fine, it had a slight sweetness on its blood and flesh that I had never tasted in rabbit meat before. Although I did not gain any Skill, I felt like I could do so by eating more. I moved with my Aura avatar as I began to hunt more monsters. The creatures that appeared in the first few floors were weak, but were all of the rare 'Dream Attribute'. I decided to eat them all for now. They could be used as materials, but that could be left for later. As my Aura Avatar devoured the creatures, which included Dream Horned Rabbits, Nightmare Hell Hounds, Dream Wyverns, and so on, I was having classes with my children and the gods in my real body. The gods were teaching my children how to materialize their Divine Energy into Crystals, but most were having difficulties, it was not a task that could be learned so easily after all. Night fell and everyone decided to finish the classes, there was not any rush whatsoever, and the gods acknowledged that the kids were already learning at an incredible speed. I decided to leave the Dream Attribute Dungeon inside of my soul as a secret for now, until I had explored it enough. I did not want people to begin entering my soul to explore it. I also wonder if I could merge it with my main dungeon outside… Could it be even possible seeing how both are in different spaces? Or could my connection with the two serve as a bridge? I also planned on using my leftover Dungeon Core in an Anti-Magic Dungeon or a Soul Attribute Dungeon… I needed to think. Could it be even possible to make an Anti-Magic Dungeon, to begin with? The monsters in the Dream Attribute Dungeon were capable of creating illusions with their dreams and nightmares and even induce sleep. Of course, my Aura Avatar didn't need to sleep, so it was able to stay as it was. However, when I reached the twentieth floor… a strange portal appeared in front of my Aura Avatar. "What is… this?" It seemed to be a gate to another world… I could clearly see the greenery on the other side, the mountains, the villages, and the houses around, there was also a large forest where monsters and animals roamed. "Is this the portal to a Dream Attribute 'Biome'? A Dream Realm… It could be dangerous to enter with this Avatar. I will divide a few Aura pieces and sent them in" My Aura Avatar extended its body and sent small, bat-shaped Aura Clones inside the 'Dream Realm'. I shared some of their senses, and the first thing I felt was the warm sun and cold breeze. "Is this really a Dream Realm? It feels more like the outside world… but this sun, it's a bit different than the one in the Realm of Vida…" My Aura Clones scouted the area around and approached a nearby village, it seemed to be inhabited by simple humans. The villagers were working in the crops, while some were taking care of the farm animals. I remembered how vivid dreams could be when I practiced their creations with Vudia, so something so realistic was possible, even to the point of the beings inhabiting such Dream Realms having their own minds and thoughts, completely unaware that they were simply a dream. However, before I could explore more, my Aura Clones dissipated. There was a strange force put a strange pressure upon them, and they could not resist much longer without being connected to me, disappearing quickly. "Hm, just as I thought of a Dream Realm, if I don't enter with my soul, my Aura Clones wouldn't last." I decided to leave the exploration for another occasion and kept hunting and exploring the dungeon with my Aura Clone or Avatar. Meanwhile, in my real body, I had finished having a nice dinner with my family and was now having a very intense night with my wives, everyone was incredibly lusty, I had to keep up for hours with everyone. It was a challenge that I could not refute. The production of my silk and horns has been going smoothly, and they are being currently used as materials to create new armor for the Empire. The overuse of this skill by my Slime Clones connected to my soul induced the leveling of these skills.
