M. And m means ohing. Catg up with Laura. She wasn’t here to wake me up, so she must be at the factory.

  I closed my eyes aered my unique skill.

  “Good m!” Laura called out to me as she ran through the hub to get to the raised ptform where I always materialize.

  “Good m. Were you busy?” I asked as I walked down the few steps and took her into a hug as she reached me.

  “Yes. My st experiments ran a bit long. I’m sorry I couldn’t wake you up.”

  “No, it’s fine. What about the nightly packs?”

  “Yes. I was able to fully plete Pharaonic Guardian. There are at least three copies of all on and Rare cards, but not all of them have toploaders yet. We do ck extra copies of some of the Super, Ultra a Rare cards, but I have Different Dimension Capsules getting them.”

  “Nice. And how many capsules do we have?” I asked.

  “221. All of them got toploaders, as I had the Guardians work for ara hour this night and I only focused o.” Laura answered.

  “Oh. Nice. And you are using them to get the missing cards from the ‘pleted sets’ right?”

  “Yes. I also made a new room just for them. Speaking of capsules, you might want to go recover the oivated yesterday.”

  “Yeah. Let’s do that. But I also want to go check up on the vampires. I want to test out the Genesis Vampire Lord activating Vampire's Domain theory. And I also want to see if Sucker and Fasatot here fine.”

  “I was going to suggest something like that, as the capsule still has 15 minutes and 22 seds of time left.” Laura said.

  “Well, I could find other ways of spending fifteen minutes with you.”

  “We o do something with these doors. There is no way to tell which door is which.” I ented as I opehe fourth door and finally ehe corre.

  “We could paint the field spells picture onto the door. Would that work?”

  “Eh, yeah. That sounds perfect. Do it.”

  As Laura offered a quick solution to that small problem, we walked into the room of eternal night. As we did, I saire Familiar flying in the sky and after spotting us, it flew into the castle.

  Soon after that, all of the vampires came out to greet me. Among them were Sucker and Fasator, so they must have been able to realize themselves here.

  “Master, what do we owe this pleasure?” Genesis Vampire Lord asked.

  “Hello again, Genesis Vampire Lord. … that name is too long. Do you mind if I name you? Or do you have a name?”

  “I used to, but that name is nothing I want to use again. It would be a pleasure to receive a new name from you.” He answered.

  “Good. Then I’ll name you Adam, bec…”

  “NO.” He cut me off.

  “No? Why not?”

  “I will not accept that name, even if it es from you, Master.”

  “... okay. Then .” I said.

  “. Yes. That works.” He agreed to my sed option. I wonder what he has against Adam? “May I ask for a sed name for us? Like a family name for our ?”

  “Hmm. A family name huh. Shouldn’t it be Belmont then?” I wohinking ba the Castlevania series of games. They were made by Konami, the same pany that made the Yugioh Trading Card Game. Sure the Belmont were vampire hunters, not vampires, but some of designs from the Castlevania games were reused fioh vampire cards.

  “Belmont? Yes. I will accept that. From now on, I shall be known as Belmont.” Genesis Vampire Lord decred.

  “Well, let’s get to the experiment. , take this and activate it, if you .” I said as I gave Vampire's Domain to him.

  “Oh yes. The card that makes vampires.” looked at the card for a few seds before activating it. “Vampire’s Domain.”

  Just like when I used it, the sky reddehen a few moments ter, a neiric being came ie wasn’t strictly a vampire, so I won’t call it a vampire. It was a half white, half bck dog-like being. Vampire Retainer.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Well, I guess it is more of a wolf than a dog, but whatever.

  “Master. We need a Hane-Hane now, don’t we?” asked.

  “Oh yeah we do.” I recalled the st time we did this. “Laura, do they really not materialize here on their own?”

  “They do, but they are not liked, as they force others out of here with their effect, so they just don’t materialize outside of their own area.” Laura expined.

  “... okay. Now we really need pulsory Evacuation Device. We could just install it here and leave this entire process for to deal with.”

  “We get it with a Capsule, or I open Invasion of Chaos night.”

  “Or we do both. But first, Hane-Hane.” I said to summon the necessary monster. I had gotten it out while we were speaking. “Hane-Hane, return Vampire Retaio my ‘hand’.”

  After I ordered Hane-Hane, he quickly did as ordered aurned Vampire Retaio my colle. Then I put a sleeve and toploader on it, before the dog once again realized within my skill.

  “Well, that was a success. , you hold onto that card. Laura will e and install a pulsory Evacuation Device ter, so find a good pce for it in the castle.”

  “Yes. Thank you, Master.”

  Now the’s get that st Exodia piece.

  When I got to where the capsule was buried, I saw the timer still had little over a minute left. Well, at least I’ll be able to see the pletion of the capsule.

  After the timer hit zero, the capsule rose from the ground and broke open. From it, two cards appeared. One was my now grayed out Different Dimension Capsule and the other was my missing Exodia piece. Left Arm of the Forbidden One.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]

  I smiled. Probably looking like an evil person, but I don’t care. I have Exodia. The, well not ultimate, but still one of the greatest powers of Yugioh is now under my trol.

  I took out a sleeve and a toploader and manually pced them on the Exodia piece. Be hohe only ohat has gotten this treatment, other than you, has been a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

  “Laura, add testing out Exodia on the list of things we o do.”

  “Yes. Just under mass fusion summoning and summoning the rest of the ritual monsters.” Laura said.

  “Did you ever get the two ritual monsters I asked Senju and Manju for?” I pletely ged the subject. Well, maybe not pletely, but still.

  “Yes. They are in the colle, waiting to be summoned.”

  “Good. I’ll do it when I do the fusion summonings. I o find a good pce to do it in. I don’t think the earl will like it if I summe amounts of monsters in his backyard.”

  “We could fly over to the rge forest and do it somewhere over there. That pce seems to not have any intelligent life, so it should be good.”

  “Yeah. Good call. My own little testing ground. Have Exodia carve out a se of the forest while we are at it.”

  “Yes. Let’s just use a god-like monster as a woodchipper. What could possibly g?” Laura said sarcastically.

  “Well, I guess we could also use Meteor Bck Dragon to burn down some of it. Maybe use a few water moo trol the fmes so they don’t get too far. Like Aqua Madoor and Neo Aqua Madoor.”

  “Yes. That should be better, but I most likely make an eveer pn.” Laura offered.

  “Well, if you say so.”

  Befetting out of the factory, there is just one more thing.

  “Laura, what about the situation with the Upstart Goblins?”

  “I tried a few things, some worked, others didn’t. First, using Interdimensional Matter Transporter does work, but the skill ot support it. The skill level is too low. And we would have to make an insuted room, otherwise this space might colpse.”

  “Wait a sed. Didn’t I say don’t try it?”

  “I didn’t install it, I just activated it ond tried to move something from the room into this skill.”

  “... okay. And it didn’t work?”

  “It did, but the item ot exist here. This space ot support physical matter. As I said, we would have to make an insuted room. While it should be possible to make such a room with Dimension Jar or Dimension Fusion, it would still be risky.

  As for the item box theory, well I have something that will work. But you should probably go bad prepare for the day, otherwise you might be te.” Laura reminded me. “I’ll tell you what I found as you get ready for the day.”

  “... yeah. Real world still sucks. Let me stay in my WR spa peace.”

  I opened my real eyes again and got on with my m activities. It is a good thing too that Laura sent me back, because just after I had gotten up, a maid came into the room to wake me up. And I have no idea if I would realize that someone is trying to wake me up while I’m in the factory.

  (So, what I found is that her Different Dimension Capsule or Pharaoh’s Treasure result in a skill when installed. In fact, the install fails if you try to install either into a person. Oher hand, Different Dimension Capsule be installed into a bag to transform it into a magic bag. And Pharaoh’s Treasure turn a normal chest into a beautiful treasure chest.) Laura expined.

  (Okay, so the direct approach is no good. Any good news?)

  (I was getting to it. If we bine Different Dimension Capsule and Pharaoh’s Treasure, it results in a card called Different Dimension Treasury. And if installed, it gives the extra skill ‘Iory’, a superior version of ‘Item Box’.)

  (Oh, he’s do that.)

  (Just a moment.) Laura said. (It isn’t that easy. When I was testing it, the tests had some problematic results.)

  (Testing? How did you test it?)

  (I used Physical Double to make a copy of you and installed the cards into him.) Laura said.

  Spoiler

  [colpse](But as I already said, it showed some problems. Mainly, you ot survive the install.)

  …

  …

  (Then we won’t do it. It just isn’t worth it if I die.)

  (Well, I did find a route we could take where you get through the install with nothing more than the normal install pains.) Laura said.

  (... Okay, tinue.)

  (Well, the reason my first two experiments failed is that Master has too many cards installed into him. For the third one, I first removed Raregold Armor and then the install went just fine.) Laura said. (Now by removing Raregold Armor, you did also lose the skill Shining Taunt. But is that skill really worth keeping? It isn’t that good and is, in a word, dangerous. And we also use an effect simir to that skill by just activating a copy old Armor.)

  (... you do drive a hard bargain. I guess I should just get rid of the skill. It just feels … wrong. But I guess I’m not getting rid of it, but repg it with a better skill.)

  (That is a good way of looking at it. Will we do it or not? If we won’t, you should just activate some number of Upstart Goblins to gain bae of the money you used yesterday.)

  (... yeah. Let’s do it. Having an item box, or was it an iory, will be a lot better than a skill I rarely use.)

  “I’ll destroy the Raregold Armor installed in my body, Mystical Space Typhoon.” I said to activate the card.

  A small whirlwind appeared arated my chest. I was expeg some pain, but it never came. I did feel something, like a sense of weakness ing to me. I would guess that is because I lost a skill.

  “... perhaps I should have used Level Up! on the skill before destroying Raregold Armor. Maybe that would have let me keep the skill…” I muttered.

  (No, that wouldn’t work. I tested it.) Laura said. (I did find a way of letting you keep a skill after the card that gave it to you was destroyed, but it isly usable.)

  (Oh. Do share. Even if it isn’t usable.)

  (The skills given to you, and others, by card installs, will eventually bee a perma part of you. At that point they o longer be removed by the means of Mystical Space Typhoon. We could have used multiple Pyro Clock of Destinies on you to force Shining Taunt into that state, but it es with unintended side-effects, like aging you up by around a month.)

  Spoiler

  [colpse](... aging me up? Would that also sacrifie of my lifespan?)

  (Most likely.) Laura firmed.

  (Then that would be an absolute no. I like having my lifespan and sacrifig some of it for a … not that great of a skill is not worth it.)

  (Also, it would take even more to make the extra and unique skills a perma part of you that doesn’t rely on the cards.) Laura added.

  (Well, good to know. But let’s do this install. A’s hope it isn’t as bad as DDF.)

  (Based on my experiment, it shouldn’t be.) Laura said to reassure me.

  Now then, first, install Pharaoh's Treasure into Different Dimension Capsule. I looked as the card ged and became Different Dimension Treasury.

  Spoiler[colpse]

  Different Dimension Treasury

  A highly advareasury that once held the areasures of an advanced civilization. Now it remaiy, waiting for someoo fill it up once again.

  [ot be used in a duel]

  Well, it looks cool. Super advanced as well. Seems more like a super puter than a ste space. I was expeg something more like a bank vault, but I guess this will do.

  “Install.” I said as I held it to my chest.

  The usual wave of pain and pleasure came over me. But I have to say, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the Different Dimension Factory. This is more like Spell Eics. Still more intehan United we Stand. That one has been the easiest this far.

  After a few mihe install was over and I was feeling well.

  Now, my status.

  Name: Brian WoodRace: Human !Level: 46HP: 1100Mana: 164th: 335Defense: 535Magic: 455 Skills: Pack Opener LV.4 (unique)Different Dimension Factory LV.1 (unique) Telekinesis LV.2 (extra)Summoner’s Unity LV.2 (extra)Iory LV.1 (extra)Dungeon Founder (extra)Summon Water Spirit (extra)Health scious (extra) Mana trol LV.5 Water Spirit’s Blessing (Greater)Language prehension (humanoid)

  Of course, Shining Taunt is gone. But iurn, I have a ra skill. And iory has a level, so Level Up should work on it. And if I had to go out on a limb here, I would say leveling it up will increase the amount of ste space the skill has.

  Holy, this bo of two cards might be the most powerful yet. If this iory, at least when I get it to a higher level, hold a rge quantity of items, it will be super powerful. I just imagine nobles hearing about this and beggio install that card into them. And I always install and then use multiple Level Ups afterwards. Uhere are side effects for doing that, other than the disect between the skill level and my actual skill. But that shouldn’t matter for a skill like iory.

  (I test it out, but there will most likely still be level up siess.) Laura said. (Level up siess es from your stats increasing, not directly from your level increasing. But of course when your level increases, your stats increase, so it is called level up siess. But if you explosively grow your skill level, you will experience level up siess.)

  (Oh, I see. Well it might still be worth it. Being in a a for two days for a massive ste space.)

  (Perhaps. Depending on who you ask.)

  (Anyway. Let’s try it out real quick.) I said as I got out a copy of Upstart Goblin and activated it.

  1 gold, e silver and three small silver s came from it, and I threw them all into my new skill.

  They all went in just fine and I could see them in my iory list.

  Iory of Brian Wood - Heroic Small Silver x3- Heroic Large Silver x1- Heroic Gold x1- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  Okay. Judging by the size of the list, my iory hold up to twenty uems. I have no idea how many of each item, but that es ter. Also, the currency is apparently called Heroic. I have no idea how currency be so heroic, but I’ll let it slide.

  (Laura, please link my iory with DDF and try out if Goblin of Greed activate Upstart Goblin.)

  (Yes. I shall do that while you enjoy your breakfast, Dear.)

  Now then, onto the new day.
