Yinbi Long was mentally preparing to look at his Guardian Beast. It may seem to be a simple thing to turn the page and look, but he was nervous. Nervous that maybe his Guardian beast wasn't good to balance his Skills. Though that tension would be blasted halfway across the universe when he finally took a look at his two Guardian Beasts. Not one, but two. Once again, his gifts from the god would render anyone else speechless. Reflecting, his worry now seemed a little absurd.
'There's no way these guys are weak.'
What Yinbi Long saw was this.
Dragon of Infinity: Sentient, Humanoid Beast.
Level 1 - Diamond Rank, Guardian Beast.
Infinite Vitality
Duration of Summons: Infinite
Innate Skill:
[Infinity]: Can, to a limited degree, command the concept of infinity. Until higher levels, things like infinite energy or strength is beyond her, but she can currently command the concept to produce infinite pudding, granted she had pudding, to begin with. More abstractly, she can raise something such as luck or talent, and even sentience, though she needs time and concentration.
'This should be Ophis from dxd, a high tier lolita that I'm going to treat as my daughter, no questions asked! Those cute indifferent eyes just begging to be spoiled! The juxtaposition of her not responsive poker face and the stare that demands head pats and sweats! I think I know which wish this fulfilled. A while before I died I recall an epiphany I had regarding fanfiction and the girls in them. I always liked it when the main character was loyal to one girl and had a love-hate relationship with harem stories. I realized I loved the fluffy slice of life harem provided, but was always off-put by the smut. Then I thought, why not just have lots of daughters? I never did find a fanfiction that satisfied the new niche I found myself in, but who cares! I can live it out myself now...'
Long continued to monologue to himself about the pros this new niche provides for several hours, talking about the same thing over and over to no one before finally looking at his second guardian beast in detail.
Dragon of Dreams: Sentient, Humanoid Beast.
Level 1 - Diamond Rank, Guardian Beast.
Unlimited Vitality
Duration of Summons: Unlimited
Innate Skill:
[Dreams]: Can, to a limited degree, command the concept of dreams. Until higher levels, things such as turning dreams into reality are beyond her, but she can currently command the concept in other smaller ways such as granting nice dreams. More abstractly, she can raise or lower the chance for a dream to come true instead of directly making it a reality, though she needs time and concentration.
'This is Great Red. I don't think she was ever shown to have a humanoid form, but I'm guessing it's going to be a cute daughter I'll be happy spoiling! More seriously, both my summons have skills that as a byproduct make them powerful, but seem to be geared more for everyday life. The description suggests using the concept of infinity on pudding and dreams on… dreams. I never really wanted to fight and these skills that seem just as useful out of battle than in are affirming the idea that I'll be better off pursuing something other than martial prowess.'
Yinbi Long already had the name for Ophis and christened her as such. The problem was Great Red. Was he to just call her Red? He would indeed! No reason to think of a complicated name when he could go simple. He would later regret this decision, but for now, he decided to move on.
'From what I can recall of the knowledge that was stuffed in my head, the clan and its bloodline I belong to is special. It has a lesser version of my The Forgotten Innate Skill. It seems it was the most successful thief clan in history, not only being highly accomplished, but nearly completely unknown as well. It went into hiding and became a clan of mortals, relying on their bloodline skill that was more powerful the weaker they were.'
Long ruminated on this knowledge. Although it explained the apparent lack of response to his previous insanity and guaranteed his family was safe, it was not something he had to think about much. This was again a gift from God, and that was the conclusion. He turned his attention to other information.
Something interesting that was contained in the knowledge shoved in his skull was that although he was not reincarnated as Yue Yang, this alternate universe was almost identical to its canon counterpart. Because the clan that was inserted into this universe always copied knowledge and rarely stole physical artifacts the timeline remained unchanged save for a few insignificant details.
'As long as I just do nothing and enjoy the small things in life, everything will be taken care of by Yue Yang! Even if we do meet and I change something it won't be too bad as I'll be forgotten along with whatever I did.'
With this, he didn't even bother with whatever else was crammed in his brain. There wasn't much left anyway. He was happy, he concluded. Happy that despite his death he would be living again and without worry despite the world around him. The rest of his happiness depended on him. He relaxed and started to observe the world around him. He had the leisure to. He had the time.
'I have all that I could wish for, all that's left is to enjoy it'
The room he was in was luxurious. Purple was the main color, followed by gold. The bed he was on had several layers, enough that he was sure that he will be warm even on the coldest nights. From his hazy memories, he knew he was right. Although looking around was appealing, the bed was just as inviting.
'It's been a long day. I think I deserve a proper sleep after all the excitement.'
Yinbi Long got up from his cross-legged state and went under the covers. He would end his day under warm covers, sure to have good dreams.
'I'll roam the compound tomorrow and think about suitable pickup lines for my waifu'
And with that, he was off to dreamland.
