"...Huh? Where am I?"

Lucias asked himself as he got woken up the strings of notifications that rang inside his head.

He looked around the unfamiliar surroundings and found that he was inside a very luxurious bedroom with very simple decorations to make it comfortable to stay at.

"Lucias?"

A familiar female voice called out as the large door of the room was opened revealing Asia carrying a bowl of hot water with a large towel hanged on the edge.

"Asia..."

Lucias called out in surprise before throwing the soft blanket off of his body and hurriedly running towards her at a quick pace, hugging her tightly in his embrace causing the bowl to fall on the carpet

"Asia... I missed you"

Lucias whispered close to her ear while wrapping his arms around her back.

"Lucias, I missed you too"

Asia says with a gentle smile on her face as she held his cheek with her right hand, giving Lucias the familiar warmth that he craved for in those 2 years of separation.

"You should still be resting, Lucias. You exerted a lot of energy in the past few days according to Yuu. Just rest, alright?"

She said before pulling him towards the fluffy bed that he was laying at a while ago.

"Asia, I'm fine... I'm sorry for worrying all of you..."

"You don't need to apologize, Lucias. We all knew that you did it for our sale but please don't push yourself too far next time, alright?"

Asia smiled while gently wiping off the sweat that accumulated on his body while he was recovering from the effects produced by his new evolution.

"How many days was I passed out, Asia?"

"Hmm... You were asleep for 5 days, but don't worry we took care of everything while you were asleep"

"Everything?"

Lucias asked in confusion while thinking of any task that he might left behind before he passed out.

"Yes, it was a shock when the entire base was suddenly shaking furiously but thanks to the notifications given to all of us, we quickly calmed down. Now the floors are much wider and more diverse, and because of the increase in amount of members, we needed to lay down laws and specify a floor that they will stay at. Now everything is quite stable, but everyone is still worried that you haven't woken up for a long time"

Asia explained while wiping his toned body with care before looking up at his guilty expression.

"I'm sorry for worrying all of you"

"Mo... I told you not to apologize didn't I? We knew that it is essential for your growth, and as your fiancés it's our job to take care of everything while you were asleep"

Asia pinched his cheek while staring straight into his golden and bewildered eyes.

"... Fiancé?"

Lucias asked in confusion from hearing sudden news that he didn't know about.

"Hmm? You don't like it, Lucias?"

Asia giggled at his reaction before asking a question with a slight grin on her face.

"N-no that's not it..."

"Hmm... Then what is it?"

Asia teased while her head moving closer to his, flustering him as he tried to find the words to explain his thought to her causing Asia to giggle at his innocent reactions.

"I'm just joking, Lucias. I know that you're just surprised from the sudden news, but we all talked about it... Do you... hate it?"

"No! But... are you ok with it, Asia?"

Lucias hurriedly answered before asking her with an insecure expression on his face.

"I wouldn't want it any other way, Lucias... I want to stay by your side, stay with you along with your adventures... I want to stay with you, as your wife, Lucias... Is it too much to ask for?"

"Of course not!! I just... wanted it to be more..."

"Romantic than this? You want to propose to me, Lucias~ You're so old fashioned but I love that part about you"

Asia continued his words as a teasing smile before pressing her soft pinkish lips on to his, surprising him from her sudden actions.

"You can make up for it in our wedding, Lucias. If you're going to propose to us one by one it's going to take forever until we get married, Baka-Lucias"

"You're... thoughts are way ahead of mine..."

"Hmm? Why? Are you not planning on marrying any of us?"

Asia says with a displeased expression on her face before pushing him on to the bed, but was caught off guard when Lucias suddenly gave her a deep kissed on her lips as he pinned her down on the bed.

"Of course I plan to, I love you all after all"

"Mnnn~"

Lucias smiled as he kissed her soft lips once again while on top of her causing Asia to rub her legs from the pleasure that she felt from his kiss.

'Lucias... When did you get so... aggressive... I love it'

She thought as she wrapped her arms around his neck. 

"Mnn... Ah... Lucias... I love you"

Asia softly moaned while panting heavily as she clutched the pajama he was wearing to keep her rationality in check.

"I love you too... Asia"

Lucias answered with a sweet smile on his face before giving her a kiss on her neck.

"Ah... Lucias... it tickles..."

Asia muttered while tightly gripping the cloth on his back from this sudden actions as her face flushed increasingly red.

"we can't... but... maybe just a little will be alright"

"Pfft-"

Lucias laughed at her words before pulling her to sit on top of his stomach.

"S-Stop laughing!!"

She shouted in embarrassment while burying her blushing face on his chest while pouting.

"I'm sorry, you were just too cute, I couldn't help it"

He said as he gave her one last kiss on her lips before standing up form the comfort of the bed.

"What's wrong?"

Asia asked as she tried to compose her rapidly beating heart while covering her body with the blanket found on the bed.

"I still need to do a few things, Asia... I need to help the other groups in completing their task... I'm worried about them... but I need to regain my past strength to do so"

Lucias answered while appraising his own status to see the new changes.

"A lot has changed but... I'm ridiculously weak in my current state"

Lucias muttered while looking through the new changes in his status as he clenched his fist with a determined expression on his face.

"... I need to grind for the time being... but I can't waste any more time, I have no choice but to enter a instant dungeon with the slowest time ratio"

Lucias says before he heard Asia calling out behind him.

"Lucias?"

Asia called out while titling her head to the side from the sudden changes in his expression.

"Asia... can you tell me what happened while I was asleep?"

Lucias asked as he sat down on the bed, facing her.

"Sure... Where should I start?"

"From the beginning"

Asia nodded her head as she took out a large map from the drawer beside the bed and spreading it on the bed.

"Let's first talk about the changes that happened within Aincrad" (Asia)

"The floors got wider than before and became more suitable for life to thrive at especially the dangerous floors like floor 5 and floor 9" (Asia)

"You we're brought here, carried by Lucifer along with a large amount of members from different races, and the entire base was modified to connect a spirit circuit to everyone recognized as a member of the faction, increasing their mana and potential" (Asia)

"The races were at conflict with each other but it was evident that all of them are quite loyal to you, especially the humans" (Asia)

"So we decided to separate them by placing them in different floors to live at" (Asia)

"The Old Deus, Okein and Kainas... I think that's their name? Stayed with their respective races in their floors. The dwarves now occupies the 9th floor due to the minerals found in that floor, the elves occupy the 8th floor because the environment suit their taste... according to them" (Asia)

"The humans stayed in the 1st floor in the tow of beginning and started to renovate the entire town according to their desires. They also helped us set a government inside the faction to keep everything and everyone in control and avoid any pointless conflict among members" (Asia)

"Because we wanted them to live freely but still contribute to the faction, we only set up a few laws that is referenced to the 10 commandments, they will not do anything that will tarnish the name of the faction or your name because of their extremely loyalty towards you so we just had to establish laws that prevents them from killing each other" (Asia)

"Also we set up 3 departments inside the faction according to the recommendation of Sephie-san. The department of Internal affairs that is run by her to manage every activity inside the faction like resolving internal conflicts, etc." (Asia)

"The other one is the department of external affairs that is run by Riku Dola, it just involves resolving any problems that our members encounter or created outside the faction, negotiations with the other factions, or business, and others. He volunteered to take the role since his skills and intellect greatly compliments the duties of the department" (Asia)

"Lastly is the department of technology and research due to the recommendations of Lala and Holou" (Asia)

"Because of the large amounts of members we decided to group them by their races and choose one representative from each race to handle any matters concerning the races that they hold since Sephie-san can't handle managing everything by herself, the representative are the one to request and give information daily to Sephie, while she approve, and check those information and see what actions to take" (Asia)

"But... they are then divided into criterias that specializes in completing certain tasks for the faction like gathering information, Assassination, etc. to distribute their work efficiently" (Asia)

Asia patiently explained in detail to Lucias while pointing at the map.

"For the other races... Irene and the dragon slayers... The ones that me ,Ophis, and Lily recruited from our dimension, will stay at the 100th floor along with us in the ruby palace to act as the royal guards" (Asia)

"The flügels stayed in the 100th floor as well because of their small population, they currently live in the flying tree... Avent Heim... I think that's the name, floating around in this floor" (Asia)

"The Ex-Machinas except Schwi-san, stayed at the 96th floor along with their creator, Holou-san" (Asia)

"For the other races... they picked a random floor to stay at except the fairies and the Seirens.

The fairies stayed at the 47th floor where the large flower garden is found and the Seirens stayed at the 24th floor because of the large bodies of water found in that floor" (Asia)

"... So a lot of things have happened while I was asleep... What about Artoria, Mash, and Jeanne?"

Lucias asked while remembering the silhouettes of the 3 servants he summoned while still inside the other dimension.

"Oh they're staying along with us inside the ruby palace" (Asia)

"... Why?"

"They said they don't want to stay far from you... as your servant it's their duty to fulfill your wills and commands at any time... That's what they said so now they're staying at the vacant rooms inside the castle"

Asia smiled while taking out the blueprint of the new modified castle that they lived at, pointing at the 3 rooms close to the main bedroom.

"... That's sound like them"

Lucias commented with a wry smile, he felt guilty from suddenly pulling them from their respective dimension and involving them into his problems without even considering their opinions so he wanted to break the [contract] between them but he was stopped by Jeanne and Artoria saying things like 'It's natural for a servant to follow his master's command' and 'you're fighting for a true cost, and is worthy enough to wield my strength for', before the plan even started.

Lucias thought before facing Asia.

"What about the other girls?"

He asked with a serious expression on his face while facing her.

"... They still haven't returned yet, Lucias... Only me, Ophis, Lily, Yuu, Azazel, you, and Lucifer have completed their quest"

Asia answered with a slightly worried expression.

"... We'll help them out in their quest in the future since I got a new skill that allows me to make it happen but... I'm still far too weak to use it... I need to improve my stats before I can use it"

Lucias assured while placing his hand on her shoulder with a large smile on his face.

"It's been a while so why won't we grind our levels along with Lily, shall we?"

(N/A: We're now going to shift the perspective to the other groups, we will not see Lucias for a while)

The current pairs are:

Tobiichi and Miku (Kore wa zombie desu Ka?)

Justice and Ingvild (Danmachi)

Cerberus and Kuroka

Yoshinon and the Yamai sisters

Kotori and Natsumi (Black Bullet)

Flandre, Kurumi, and Tohka

Mukuro and Valerie

Beelzebub and Nia

Judgement and Iris

Yami and Tiamat

Elmenhilde and Modeus

Some of them only take about 1 chapter to finish but the others require time until Lucias arrives...

Also note that Asia is still 9 years old and Lucias is 11 years old (disregarding the time he was contained)... just telling... for no particular reason...
