I woke up to the sound of clothes rustling. I opened my eyes, but as the lights were off, I didn’t actually see much. The room wasn’t pletely dark, so I did see the outline of someone moving. As well as the slightly glowing emerald eyes of that person.

  “Brian? Did I wake you?” Ria asked in a quiet voice.

  “Yeah. But don’t worry about it. What about you?”

  “I’m heading out for the servants breakfast. One of them woke me up and told me to e. You sleep for a bit longer.”

  “Ah. Okay. Enjoy your breakfast.” I said as I closed my eyes again, even if I had no pns about going back to sleep.

  I waited for Ria to leave the room before I jumped into the Different Dimension Factory.

  When I got into the Factory, I noticed Laura speaking with someone I didn’t reize.

  She was a woman, about 25 years old by my estimation, and she looked like a mixture of a feire monsters. Her hair was crimson red and eyes turquoise, simir to Vampire Fasator. Her hairdo came from Vampire Lady, a simple but elegant tied bun. Her dress was a simplified daily wear version of Vampire Grace’s gourple and bck dress with some fang or cw looking things, and some gold embroidery to highlight everything. And the st thing she had mimicked were the wings of Vampire Vamp. A real mix of everything.

  Spoiler[colpse]

  I guess while I’m at it, I should tell you what Laura wears. She wears a white long sleeve blouse and a pastel yellow skirt on top of bck leggings. And on her feet, she has white sandals. No socks, obviously.

  “Good m.” I said to the two of them.

  They turo look at me and Laura was the first oo speak.

  “Good m, Dear.”

  “Good m, Mr. Brian.”

  As soon as the mixed vampire spoke, I knew who she was. Well, at least I have a very good guess. The voice that was like a younger version of Agatha’s should only belong to one person. Well, calling them a person isly accurate.

  “So you mao realize in here, Mia.” I ented.

  “Yes. We had some difficulty with the information amounts, but we mao get around that problem.” Mia answered.

  “Why would that be a problem?” I asked.

  “Mia is still only basic level, so she ’t process information as fast as I .” Laura answered. “We had to simplify everything first and then she could take it in. Essentially, she sees this spa a simplified version that cks details. I emute it for you if you would like.”

  “Sure, if it doesn’t take too long.” I agreed.

  “Just a sed then.” Laura said as she walked over to me and hugged me.

  I did enjoy the good m hug, until Laura disappeared from my arms. Well, it would be more accurate to say she entered my body. Not in that way, you weirdo. And this isn’t my body, but just my avatar. Laura is always inside my body.

  (Just a sed.) I heard Laura’s voi my head, before my vision ged.

  The perfectly sharp world that I had been in pixeted and simplified. I guess if you want a parison, you could say it is like going from an HD-remake of a game back to the inal PS2 version. The inal version is good, but the new one does look much better. And in my case, the HD-version is the inal for me.

  (Okay, this is enough. you give my HD back?) I requested.

  My vision improved back to where it had been and Laura reappeared o me.

  “Well, I see how that would be annoying, but it isn’t a real problem, is it?”

  “No, not really. There might be issues if Miss Lucia tries to e here. She would need Mia stantly processing the information, so the two of them ’t realize at the same time like we .” Laura said.

  “Any ways around that?”

  “At least two. But her of them is exactly easy. First is getting Mia upgraded to Standard level. That way, she could hahe information easier. etting me upgraded to Advahat way, I could do more of the processing for her.” Laura answered. “That is also the situation with getting others into here. Even with the two of us w together, we could only get that quality, so getting someoh no System Support into this space is basically impossible.”

  “Ah. Okay. Were those the two ways, or was that just one way?”

  “No, there is a sed. Getting the Different Dimension Factory to a higher level. But as it is ued by Level Up, there is no simple way of doing it.”

  “Would that help? Wouldn’t that just increase the amount of stuff here and by extension the amount of information?” I asked.

  In my experience, making the ‘game’ rger is not the way to decrease the i e o py it. It should be the opposite. Larger game means more data that has to be transferred.

  “No, it’s because… Actually, it will be faster if I just introduce you two.” Laura said.

  Wait what? Introduce me? Who else has e into my skill without permission? Well, Mia did have permission, so this would actually be the first intruder without permission.

  “I’ll leave you two for now. Mistress is waking up and I believe she will need me.” Mia said before we got a move on.

  “I recall her saying she didn’t want you calling her Mistress.” I ented, before she had time to disappear.

  “That is the title she is worthy of, so I shall call her that whenever she doesn’t hear me.” Mia said, before disappearing.

  “Laura, are you like that when you speak about me while I’m not around to hear?”

  “...”

  “I’ll take your silence as a yes. Don’t worry. With all the monsters calling me ‘Master’ anyway, I’m kind of used to it.”

  As we were walking, I noticed something. There were more doors in the Factory. I knoere kind of close to running out, as we only had 7 or 9 empty o time, but now, it seems like there are at least 30 doors that don’t have something painted on them.

  I followed Laura to the rge room, maybe I should call it the Tower room, as it does have ten towers.

  There I saw a young girl with long light broying with Maiden of the Aqua and Guardian Angel Joan.

  Spoiler[colpse]She seemed to be 5 or 6 years old and she was wearing something that looked like a child sized replica of Guardian Angel Joan’s clothing. Well, uhe ahe little girl didn’t have wings or a halo.

  The two mohat were with her pointed me out as I approached and the little girl turo look at me. She then took off running towards me.

  “PAPA!” She called out.

  … Laura? What did you do now?

  I crouched down and received the girl running at me. As she g to me, I felt her clothes ge. She had been wearing an imitation of Guardian Angel Joan’s clothes, but now she was wearing a hoodie, t-shirt and jeans, like my avatar was.

  “Papa. I was waiting for you. Mama said you would e in the m, so I was waiting.”

  … okay. So there is mama, and I think I’m papa. This makes no sense. But better not to say that to her. Luckily I have a way of unig without speaking. Let’s just hope it works while Laura is realized.

  (Laura, want to expin this?) I asked her, like I would ask Lua when trying to ect with her.

  (Her? That is quite simple. She is the avatar of the Different Dimension Factory.) Laura answered.

  “Eh?” I let out a small sound before realizing that I probably shouldn’t have.

  “Papa?” The girl stepped back a bit and looked directly into my eyes.

  Her eyes were a simir shining green as Laura has. Actually, Ria’s emerald eyes when she is in a blood frenzy are not too far either, but not quite there. They ck the almost star pattern that both Laura and this girl have.

  “Yes. What is it?” I asked her, fully accepting my role as her papa. If she really is the avatar of Different Dimension Factory, her calling me papa and Laura mama isn’t that far from the truth.

  “Is papa sad?” She asked.

  “No, of course I’m not. Why would you think that?”

  “Papa is so quiet. I thought papa liked to talk.”

  “I do. I’m just a bit blown away by how big you already are.” I said to the girl.

  “... does papa want a real baby instead of me?” She asked. I could see some tears f in the ers of her eyes.

  “No. I want you. You are my girl and I won’t let aake you.” I said to her as I took her bato a hug.

  Different Dimension Factory is mine and I won’t let anyone else have her. That card will never get installed into anyone else.

  “Papa. Give me a name.” My little girl demanded as she was riding on my shoulders.

  “Sure. Just give me a bit of time to think about it.” I answered as I followed Laura.

  I had been catg up with Laura about what she had been doing for the night. In short, she was able to get at least 1 of everything from Rise of Destiny.

  But as she was doing the entire Mia experiment, she didn’t have time for many other things. The ohing she did do, is test out B.E.S. Big Core for me. And that is ere walking towards a currently empty room in the factory. Well, it wasn’t actually empty, but had 1 monster in it. The aforementioned B.E.S. Big Core.

  Oh. Something else I should probably mention is the existence of the little girl on my shoulders. She realize here for one reason. My Different Dimension Factory skill leveled up to 2.

  Acc to Laura, the fast level up of my sed unique skill came from me reag level 50. Apparently, it causes a small boost to e from the system that results generally in new skill being learned, or powerful skill leveling up. It could sometimes even cause something called an evolution, which would ge a person's race to an advanced one. Something like Sorceress that Jenna was while she was fused would be sidered an advanced race. But going through an evolution like that at level 50 was rare. It usually happeer, at either LV.70, 80 or 90. And some wouldn’t evolve before reag the first level limit of 99.

  Also, because DDF is now level 2, there are more avaible rooms and the rooms are slightly rger. There was also a time dition effect betweewo worlds now. In here, time moves faster. By about 1.2 times. So a miside is 72 seds here. Not a major difference, but that multiplier should grow as the skill level increases.

  And if Laura and Mia’s theory is correct, as Different Dimension Factory, the skill not her avatar, grows in level, she should be able to make the processing required to e here easier and we bring other people here and they won’t suffer the bad rendering quality.

  “Laura, I don’t see it.” I ented as I looked at the empty space. There was nothing here. I don’t think she would ever pick the wrong room, but I almost want to say she did. This pce was just ay void, like any of the empty rooms.

  “It is there papa. ’t you see it?” The girl on my shoulders said as she poio the sky.

  “No. I don’t think I .” I looked at where she ointing, but it just looked all the same white void.

  “Right there. That blue light.” She said.

  I tried to follow her finger and noticed something that might have been blue. But it was super difficult to see in this white room.

  “Yeah. I think I see it. But that doesn’t look like a spaceship to me.”

  “Mama, make it visible.”

  Laura didn’t answer her and instead just looked up to the sky. After a few seds, the blue glow became more noticeable and the rest of B.E.S. Big Core appeared around it.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]That thing is huge. I was expeg something maybe a bit rger than Gradius, but this thing is at least 100 meters from the funs to the thrusters.

  “Laura, I don’t think I use this thing.” I said, looking up at the giant spaceship.

  “Don’t worry. I predicted that part. That is why I already installed Opti-Camoufge Armor to it. That is how it was ‘invisible’. While camoufged, you only see a soft glow of the maior. I also added a Mae version Factory and a defensive 7 pleted to it.”

  “That isn’t the problem. This thing is too big to nd anywhere.”

  “But papa, it beam you up to it.” The avatar of DDF said.

  “Wait. When did you have time to watch Star Trek? You are too young for that.”

  “That wasn’t a refere has a teleportatiohat be used to pick up a out passengers.” Laura said.

  “... so it never has to nd?”

  “Correct. Want to test it out?”

  “If we have time.”

  “We should still have some.”

  I spent a bit of time getting familiar with the features on my new spaceship. Getting into it was actually easy. Just get it to activate the beam, step into it and a few seds ter, you are in the ship. Getting out is basically the same. And it stay in camoufge for the eime, so no one on the ground will likely see it. Unless it is raining. Having a giant spaceship that acts as an umbrel could give it away.

  “I think I should head back for now.” I said as I took the avatar of Factory off of my shoulders and pced her on the ground. “I promise, I’ll e up with a name for you today and I’ll e give it to you in the evening.” I said to the girl as I lightly patted her head.

  “Yes. I’ll wait.” She said, smiling. “... but papa, you ’t leave yet. You haven't met big sis yet.” She added.

  … oh God. When did I get two children?

  The avatar of the Factory dragged me along. We ehe Different Dimension Treasury room and headed straight for the back area. Few of the goblins did e and try to talk to us, but she just brushed right past them. Laura walked behind us and gave a small apology to them, saying we were in a hurry. We really became an instant family.

  We got into the office of the Goblin of Greed and he greeted us, but again, my little girl ignored him and just walked to the hidden door. She then used her own hand on the s pao open the door. The iing part was not that it worked, but that the ground below her feet rose before she sed her hand so that she could reach.

  Goblin of Greed looked a bit disappoihat he didn’t get to open the door for me, but he quickly sat back down and got back to doing whatever he was doing.

  As we walked into the stific marble that is my Different Dimension Treasury, I noticed a girl sitting at a small table. She was reading a book while occasionally taking a sip of tea from her tea cup.

  “Big sis. Papa is here.” Factory said to her.

  She put her book down, got up from her seat and looked at us.

  She seemed about Alice’s age, or maybe a year younger. Something like 15 or 16. Her hair was long aric blue in color, with some white stripes. Her eyes were silver in color and she was wearing a pink onesie. Not something you would expect from someohat drinks tea and reads books on quantum meics. The clothing part, not the eye color.

  “Father. I am happy that you made time to e see me.” She said as she bowed lightly. Her voice added to the pile of things that pointed out her true identity to me.

  “Of course I would. Might I assume that you are the avatar of Different Dimension Treasury?” sidering where she is, her voice, what she is reading and the fact that Factory was able to ma an avatar, this girl should be the avatar of Treasury. I think.

  “Yes, I am.” She answered.

  “Well, it is great to meet you as well. Should I assume that you also want a name?”

  “If father has the time to give me one, I would be happy to receive it.” She answered.

  “I do have the time to think of one. But not now. I’ll add you to my previous promise. I’ll give you both a name in the evening. But I’ll have to go now.”

  “Thank you, father. I’ll be waiting.” Treasury said as she sat back down.

  “Yes, papa.” Factory said, as she tugged my hand.

  I looked at her and she opened her arms wide, so I took her into a hug. Then I set her back down and gave my other ‘daughter’ a hug as well. No preferential treatment here. Other thating more level ups thaher, but I ’t exactly do anything about that.

  Then I walked over to Laura and gave her a little kiss before returning to the real world aing ready for the day.

  Spoiler So because Brian’s unique skill did level up, I’ll leave his status here.
