Aincrad: Ascendance

A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky. That was all this world was. It took a vagarious group of craftsmen one month to survey the place; the diameter of the base floor was about 10 kilometers — large enough to fit the entirety of Setagaya-ku within. Above, there were 100 floors stacking straight upwards; its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of. Inside, there were a couple of large cities along with countless small-scale towns and villages, forests and plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways existed in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed; so discovering and getting through was no easy matter. However, once someone made a breakthrough and arrived at a city on the upper floor, the «Teleport Gates» there and of every city on the lower floors would be connected making it possible for anyone to move freely through these levels. With these conditions, the huge castle had been steadily conquered for two years. The current front line is the 74th floor. The name of the castle was «Aincrad», a world of battles with swords that continued floating and had engulfed approximately six thousand people. Otherwise known as… «Sword Art Online» -*-*--*-*-*- Updates are from monday to friday, so total of 5 chapters a week, extra chapter every 200 stones. Source of this fanfic is from the Novel, and I also added some elements from different worlds just to add some twist. I dont own the cover or any character from SAO, this is a fanfic I made for fun dont take it seriously.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

[The soul called Error 404]

A voice called out a ball of light floating around the void, the ball of light moved as if it reacted to the voice that called it out.

A golden hand then suddenly formed out from nowhere and gently carried the ball of light, the ball of light was then carried into a place that looked like heaven.

Clouds that were covered in golden light, looked smooth and fluffy, there were no skies but the night sky along with stars could be seen, the ball of light was then gently dropped into a golden gate that extended up towards the skies.

There a man was standing, his appearance could not be described other than being divine.

[Welcome to heaven Error 404]

The man spoke. the ball of light jumped around as if it was answering. the man smiled as he saw this.

[Yes, yes, you can go to heaven but I have something to propose to you, would you like to hear it?]

The ball of light stopped jumping and looked at the man, then moved as if it was nodding.

[Good, Father has given you a chance to go to a different world]

The ball of light didn't move but the man understood it.

[Not really reincarnation but more like transition, We are going to revive you in a different world]

"..."

[Yes, you died of old age, you don't have to worry about your family, your job has long been done, but you still insisted on taking care of them, but thanks to that they are now living a good life]

"..."

[You will be sent to a fantasy world where sword and magic exist just like what you like when you were a kid, now you can wish for 5 things and it could be anything, there was the system like the one you have read in a novel or even powerful magic, now tell me your wishes]

"..."

[No, you don't have to do anything, Just gently enjoy your second life, now give me your wishes]

"..."

[... A body that doesn't get sick?]

"..."

[U-umu. I understand. Then, a body that does not get sick, I'll give you "Healthy Body" but we need to give you a body first]

[You don't mind the appearance? okay, then I will give you my own preference then]

The Ball of light then started glowing, slowly it started to shape into a human form, but it only remained like that, its appearance was not shown yet as now the figure of human light could only be seen.

[Can you speak now?]

"Yes"

A gentle and soothing voice came from the figure.

[Good, now let's talk about your other wishes, you still have 4 wishes, tell me]

"Actually that is all I need"

[Huh? that is all? don't you want any skills, you will after all go to a fantasy world, you can be a hero by wishing a holy sword or become a sage by having powerful magic, even become a demon king if you want? you can wish anything]

"No, those sounds too heavy for me, I have worked enough, it was a very enjoyable life"

[Come on now, just anything, give me anything]

"Actually, I want to try farming, like the ones I saw on TV, growing crops and leaving a peaceful and slow life"

[I see, so you want to farm, then I will give you an item called All Purpose Farming Tool or AFT in short, just like how it names says, this tool could turn into any tools well, of course, there are exceptions, while I'm at it too, I will provide you a land]

After he finished speaking, a hoe appeared in the empty air and landed on the hands of Error 404.

[Think of a tool you want then it will turn into one]

*Poof!

The hoe turned into a trowel.

"Thank you very much"

Error 404 bowed thankfully towards the man.

[Furthermore, that is for your exclusive use. It will always be by your side. Even if you throw it, it will come back.]

[By the way, you can store it in your body so you don't have to worry about the storage location. You can put it in and out as you wish. Try it.]

*Swoosh!

The AFT disappeared from Error 404's hands, he then called it once again and it appeared on his hands.

[You still have 3 remaining, tell me what you want]

"Then please let my family have a good life"

The man stopped for a bit before he smiled.

[All good, now for your remaining wishes, there is little time to make it fast]

"Honestly, I couldn't think of anything anymore, so I would like for you to be the one to give me the remaining wishes, I don't mind if it is bad or good"

[Then let me do it for you]

*Swoosh!

Error 404 was then suddenly enveloped white light.

[You will know what I give you when you reach the fantasy world]

[Also the one who made the AFT says Take good care of it.]

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

[... Now it's time to move on. Are you ready?]

"It's okay. Thank you for everything."

[Umu, then stay healthy.]

After the man finished speaking, Error 404 felt like his body was melting, and when he came back to his senses, he was standing in a forest.

Error 404 took a deep breath and took in the fresh air of his surroundings, he felt refreshed after that.

"It's all good"

Error 404 smiled, and just as he was about to move forward, he stopped as memories suddenly started to flood his brain, it took a few moments before he regained back his senses.

"I see, I couldn't remember my name from my past life so I thought my name will be Error 404 but, thank you for giving me a name, my name is now Tanaka"

Error 404 who was now called Tanaka bowed and prayed.

After a while, Tanaka finished praying and stood up, the man he met earlier, gave him 3 things, it seems like the family request of Tanaka was already granted and there was no need for him to wish for it.

The first that was given to him was a name, it was granted by the Father, Tanaka was very thankful for the name.

The second that was given to him was the All-knowing Ability, though even if it had a powerful name like that, all it could actually only provide things that were from Tanaka past world, for example, of how to build a house or how to plant properly, but the other things such as nuclear bomb is not included.

The third is an ability called God's hands, it allows Tanaka to be able to master everything he touches, it's like a weapon master ability from fighting, for example, if he touches a kitchen knife, Tanaka will be able to master it immediately, if he started cutting up vegetables, it would be comparable to a master chef who held it for a very very long time and had mastered it.

Anyway, Tanaka didn't think too much about his skills and started checking his body.

There is no pain.

It is a healthy body.

Although there is no mirror, Tanaka could tell he had a younger body from his hand and feet.

The early twenties?

No, late teens?

Anyway, there is no problem.

Clothes ... something Tanaka is not familiar with.

It looks like a villager that appears in fantasy games with my rough coat and pants.

Underwear is… a trunk bound by a string.

Anyway, it was nice not to be dead.

Next, Wsip put out the all-purpose farming tool.

A hoe appears in the grasp of his hand.

Thank you, God.

Speaking of which, he has not heard of God's name, except for the being called Father.

I don't know who to pray to, but since the man seemed to have admiration whenever he says, Father.

Well, the feeling of gratitude is what's important.

Now.

Tanaka stood up and look around.

It's a forest.

Even if he looks at the front or back, all he sees is a forest.

Even if he looks at the left or right, all he sees is a forest.

Tanaka was hoping to be transferred to a place with few people… but this place has no people at all.

"I guess, I will clean this place up for a bit"

Tanaka willed his AFT to change into an Ax, he wanted to cut the trees around him to have an open space, don't get him wrong, it's not illegal logging, according to the god, this land is now all his.

And he also wanted to build a house before nighttime, he still doesn't know the danger of this forest, Tanaka had some knowledge about it because he worked as a soldier on his past life, and there is also the all-knowing ability.

Tanaka went to the closest tree and swung his Ax towards it.

*Swooosh!

It felt like he was cutting butter with a hot knife.

Cutting trees is very easy, thankfully, Tanaka also have the all-knowing ability, so he was able to cut trees in a perfect way, and how could he say this, wielding the AFT in his hands that transformed into Ax felt very familiar to Tanaka, it's like he has used it for many years.

"So this is God's hands"

Tanaka smiled, but that was all to it, he can cut it easily, even make it perfect but the manual labor was still taking a toll on him, if not for the healthy body, he would be aching all over now.

Speaking of Healthy Body, Tanaka was very surprised when he found out the full potential of the ability, it was almost like an immortal, he may not be strong or fast, but his body was the healthiest, he won't get old, he won't get any sickness, he may still get injured but that was normal and there will also be no infection, it also gave him huge stamina, he had been working for a few hours now.

All in all, the Healthy Body was a very good thing that was given to Tanaka, once again, he prayed, well, now back to the present, Tanaka has now created a simple log house, by what he meant by simple is that it was a two-story log house with a bed, chair, and table inside.

Though his bed was only made of wood and it was very uncomfortable, he also created a fence around his house for protection, though, it was very weak and may get destroyed if a bear come by, but Tanaka has already explored a little bit of the forest and he had not seen any claw marks on the trees or any smell of urine.

Which is good, it meant that there are no dangerous animals in the vicinity, though, Tanaka saw some rabbit-like animals with a pointy horn on their head, it was as sharp as a unicorn's horn except that it was more little.

"Hmm, now that I'm done with a shelter, I need food and water, I will search for water first, then look for fruits, if there is none, I will just try to hunt those horned rabbits"

So with that in mind, Tanaka started searching for the source of water, and the best way to look for one was to climb trees.

"I haven't claimed trees for a long time, it makes me feel young again"

Tanaka looked for the tallest tree near him and climbed it, fortunately, even though, he had already forgotten how to climb trees, his body still remembered it as if by instinct, it made him chuckle and wonder if he was a monkey or something.

It took a few minutes for him to climb the tree and start to look around, from there he saw how large this place really was, all he could see was a sea of trees, mountains on the horizon.

"This won't work, all I could see is trees, where can I find water? this is a dilemma"

Tanaka was a little down, if he searched aimlessly, it may even be a long time to look for water, he could also dig down but the chances of finding clean water were slim, just as he was thinking of what to do.

He heard a whisper in his ears, Tanaka immediately looked around looking for where the whisper came from, he didn't understand what the whisper said but it felt like it wanted to call him somewhere.

*Splash!

Tanaka immediately turned his head towards the north where he heard the sound of water.

"I see"

Tanaka climbed down the tree and moved towards the north, he may not know who was helping him but maybe it was a god or something, and he was right, just 3 kilometers away from his log house, he found a stream.

The water looked very fresh and clean, h could also see some animal tracks and vegetation nearby, which makes it safe to drink, Tanaka changed his AFT into a small bucket and scooped up some water.

"Let's see"

Tanaka drank a little of the water.

"It's fresh and a little sweet, good, I like this"

After he finished feeling himself with water, Tanaka changed his AFT into a hoe, and started plowing the land, yes, he plans to create a pathway from the stream to his house, he is not bored enough to run back and forth just to get water, and it was really not difficult to plow the land with the AFT.

Pull out and repeat.

"Ah!"

Tanaka was so focused on plowing the land that he failed to notice the thick tree root that was in front of him, and it seemed very sturdy too, Tanaka prepared for the shock that was going to hit him.

*Bam!

On the contrary, the response was still crispy.

Looking at it, the root was plowed.

The part that comes in contact with the hoe became sawdust.

No, not sawdust, but soil?

Looking at it, Tanaka feels like it would be a good fertilizer.

Let's see...

He kept swinging the hoe as it is.

The root of the thick tree completely assimilated into the ground. The only thing that remained was the ground that was plowed.

"Oooh"

With that, Tanaka continued plowing the land without care, in the end, it only took him an hour to reach back to his log house.

"Now, time to turn it into an aqueduct"

Conduit built to convey water. In a restricted sense, aqueducts are structures used to conduct a water stream across a hollow or valley. ... Such systems generally are used to supply cities and agricultural lands with water.

Tanaka has been stacking up the soil along the way towards the wellspring, then hardening it by a hammer, even though he has AFT, he was only one so it took a few hours for him to do.

But while he was doing his work, a horned rabbit was able to notice and charge at him, out of instinct, Tanaka smashed the hammer towards its head.

*Bam!

"Whoa!?"

The horned rabbit was sent flying towards the nearby tree, when Tanaka came to look at it, the head was smashed into pieces, and only the body remains.

"Never thought, these horned rabbit are so aggressive, I guess I have a source of food for today"

And so Tanaka stored the rabbit back to his log house, then make a store house to store the meat and continued on his work, but while he was working, Horned rabbits kept attacking, and by the end of the day, he killed about 5 of it.

Tanaka wanted to finish everything by today but it was already evening when he finished the aqueduct, he could only sigh and go back to his log house.

"Time to prepare my food"

Tanaka cleaned up the rabbits, it was a tedious task but he easily cleaned all it up in just a few minutes, he then cut it all up into small pieces, after that, he made a fireplace outside, he then turned his AFT into steel, he had found a flint near the river earlier, and yes, he couldn't turn the AFT into a lighter.

*Ting! *Swooosh!

The dry wood Tanaka gathered burned giving him a source of light and warmth in this cold night, he then changed his AFT into a pot, then threw in the rabbit meat, and started stewing it.

Though he doesn't have any salt or any seasoning right now so he had to bear with the terrible smell and taste of the meat, though he hasn't tested it yet, but maybe he could expect a delicious taste from it.

"So this is my first day in this Fantasy World, it still feels unbelievable to me"

Tanaka sat on the chair and looked up towards the skies, as expected of another world, there are 3 moons, each with different colors, one is red, which is the smallest, the 2nd is a purple color, and the last is white color which is the biggest, I don't know its names but they look beautiful.

"Hmmm~ Hmmm~"

Tanaka started humming slowly his voice was very soothing and gentle, this dark and silent forest seemed to have color as the wind and trees started swaying along with his humming.

"I have only heard it once, but Isabella's lullaby is really soothing, it would be better if I have a guitar though, hmm, how about another song, what to sing...ah yes, that song, its good too"

Tanaka was about to sing once again when he heard growls coming not too far away from him, looking behind him, he saw two dogs?

Tanaka looked at the dogs again and noticed the dog behind is female.

It even has a big stomach.

Is the dog in front a male?

That means they're a couple.

Let's see...

It is no good to drive them away.

The female dog walks unsteadily like it was dizzy.

The male dog sometimes looks back anxiously while glaring at him.

Dogs are farmer's ally.

Tanaka then remembered when he was a child, he wanted to have a dog but never got one.

Thinking about the reasons to take in the dogs, Tanaka relaxed and put his posture down the hoe from the all-purpose farming tool.

It seems that the dog understood and stopped glaring at him.

He doesn't know if they understand words so in the meantime, Tanaka invited them with the use of gestures.

Two dogs are accompanying Tanaka from behind as he walks.

They are quite obedient.

They crossed the gate and the fence and went inside my place. He invited them near the bonfire as it is but they did not get near.

Does it mean that beasts are scared of fire?

Tanaka thought about such a thing but it seems that the reason is different.

The two of them approached the body of the horned rabbits that Tanaka killed.

'So you two are hungry, go on"

Tanaka gestured them to eat but seeing the small rabbit, it won't be enough for them, he went towards the storage room he made earlier and took all of the rabbit meat he had.

Call him an idiot or whatever but Tanaka could just hunt next time, it's not like he was in dire need of food, he had what they need so why not give it to them?

The dogs ate immediately as they saw the meats of the rabbits, Tanaka smiled and also decided to check the meat he was cooking, it was already done, immediately, he served himself and put some on his wooden plate.

*Slurp!

"Ahhh~"

Tanaka breathed out white smoke as he swallowed the rabbit meat.

"Hmm~ it tastes disgusting"

Tanaka could not describe its taste but it was disgusting, but even so, it was still edible, he had eaten much more disgusting dishes in the past so this level was nothing.

"Well, beggars can't be choosers, how are you guys doing?"

Tanaka turned towards the dogs and they have already finished eating, leaving nothing behind, not even bones.

"I see it was delicious huh?"

Tanaka smiled then noticed the female one was breathing heavily.

"So you are about to give birth huh? hmm, you can use the storehouse as your shelter, for now, come"

Tanaka gestured them once again to follow him and brought them to the storehouse he created, it was quite small but it was enough for the dogs to use as a shelter, for now, I then made some modifications and created a small fireplace for them in the middle.

The dogs curiously looked around first then after seeing it was okay, they made themselves comfortable, seeing it was all good, Tanaka left them, he couldn't help from here on out.

Anyway, it was already late, so after he finished eating, he cleaned up his house for a bit then went to sleep.

-Day 2-

Tanaka woke up earlier from the sun and started exercising his body, maybe because he has a healthy body, he doesn't need to sleep that much, though, his sleep could not be said as comfortable, sleeping on a wooden bed is something you don't want to sleep to.

Anyway, it was much better than sleeping on the ground though, so that is a plus? anyway, after he finished exercising himself, Tanaka looked outside, mist covered the whole forest thankfully, it was not that thick.

Tanaka admired the scenery around him, the morning dew, the peaceful and quiet place, though it made him a little lonely since he was all alone in this place, maybe the dogs will stay with him? well, he is not sure.

"Speaking of which, how are the dogs?"

Tanaka made his way towards the storehouse and checked the dogs, the mother was able to give birth safely to 5 pups.

Seeing they were safe, Tanaka was relieved and happy for the dogs, anyway, today, he will finish making the aqueduct, then make a reservoir, after that, his source of water will be done, then he maybe could also start farming now.

Tanaka could not help but get excited about farming, and so with that in mind, Tanaka started working, but to his surprise, the father of the pups came with him escorting him to his job, at first he thought it would just go hunt but it stayed by his side all the time.

And it also protected him from the attacking horned rabbits, there was also a boar that was 5 times bigger its size came to them, Tanaka was able to take care of it by using his AFT, simply, his AFT was also a powerful weapon.

Anyway, Tanaka then returned back to the log house carrying the meat with a wheelbarrow, then created another storehouse, he simply could not leave it on the road as it will attract more animals.

After placing all of the meat inside, he took half of the boar meat then gave the other half to the dogs, and then he started making his breakfast.

"Hmm, seasoning is a problem, I wonder where could I get salt?"

Tanaka looked around him, he knew that you could get salt from the sea but there is no sea around this place, and just as he was thinking of what to do, his All-knowing ability finally activated.

He looked behind him where he could see a large boulder, yes, this boulder was actually a rock salt.

"Well... that's convenient I guess?"

Tanaka then scraped off some salt from the rock salt and he doesn't have to worry about it being not safe because rock salt is just salt, it was safe and it actually has more minerals than normal table salt.

Tanaka then did some salt bae acting with the meat he cut off earlier, then started grilling it on the fire, he looked at the dogs and they have already finished eating, the pups doesn't have to eat for now so the two ate half of the boar.

Anyway, after he finished eating, Tanaka continued working, but before he goes, he decided to name the dogs, he could not just call them papa dog or mama dog every time, and while he was at it too, he will name the pups.

First is the father, I don't know if they could read so I wrote words on the ground, and strangely, the words turned into another letter that I don't recognize but I could still somehow read it.

The dogs seem to be able to understand it too.

Anyway, I wrote four names on the ground.

[Cloud]

[Blacky]

[Shubarts]

[Reynolds]

The father dog wanted to choose Shubart but it seemed like the mother has more authority than him, so he was forced to choose the name Reynolds, as for the pups' names, they were named Ryan, Reyna, Ray, Roy, and Reen.

As for the mother she chose the name Sabrina, quite a big difference in name but who am I to disagree with? so after that, Tanaka continued working, it was already lunch when he finished making the aqueduct.

Next was making the reservoir, for this, Tanaka made a blueprint on his mind, he first dug a huge pit a little far away from his house, for the design, he made it as a reversed pyramid, about 300 meters big, as for how deep it was, well, it was deep.

Anyway, making the reservoir actually took a longer time than Tanaka has actually expected, it took him about five days, most of that took time was basking it in the sun, and creating a drainage system to keep it clean.

As for the food, it seemed like the dogs took care of it, they are actually much powerful than the ones from the earth, they could easily jump the 5-meter fence that Tanaka created, they could also now hunt the boars that were bigger than their size.

Speaking of the dogs, the pups actually grew fast, in just five days, they were already at the size of a 3-year-old dog, they also started to hunt for animals, time really passes by when you are doing something.

Anyway, in these past 3 days, of course, Tanaka did not spend all his time doing work, he also tried to relax, he played with the pups by making a wooden disc and throwing it, the dogs were very competitive, and they could even jump as high as 10 meters in the air to catch the disc.

Well, whatever, one thing Tanaka also noticed on the dogs were the blade-like horns on their foreheads, there was one time that Reynolds dropped or more like shedding the horn on its forehead, Tanaka was curious about it but he did not really put that much attention to it.

Anyway, Tanaka thought that they would leave after they stayed here for a while but no, they stayed, they even started taking turns to stay beside him, he was quite happy for that, at least, it was not that lonely anymore.

But he could not really talk with the dogs, he was a social creature, will there be someone in the future that will come to him?

"..."

Not too far away, a naked girl stepped out of the forest, she seemed very bruised and tired, she cautiously looked around until she noticed the log house not too far away.

"A house in this place?"

She hesitated for a bit before she took a deep breath and stepped forward.

I don't have a name.

I am a creature that wanders through the forest and lives the days of my lives by hunting.

I have always lived like that and I thought that I will still live like that in the future.

However, there was a fated encounter.

A female with the same form as me.

While thinking how good of a female she is, we were attacked.

I don't know what it is but I counterattacked, but I can't do anything.

I was confident with my fighting power but I was not able to do anything with the enemy.

When I was prepared for my death, female ordered me to cooperate with her and we were triumphant in the end.

I was not able to do anything about it alone.

I have lived alone ever since but now, there are two of us.

When a male and a female are together, the female's stomach will grow because they have done something.

Umu.

I'm going to have a family.

Well, I don't feel bad about it.

While we are spending our daily lives in the forest, when she was about to give birth, we met the worst enemy.

The inhabitants of the forest could only hide against it.

Grappler bear.

It is the king of the forest.

Its ridiculously big body match its power.

Even if its movement as a whole is slow, the movement speed of its limbs is fast.

Normally, if we meet it, we should escape immediately but female is pregnant and won't be able to do that.

It is impossible to run away.

I used myself as a shield when the grappler bear was about to attack female.

Scary.

I found out that it is impossible.

However, we can't escape.

I have to earn her time to escape.

I thought so and stepped forward in a moment.

The grappler bear's arms mowed down the nearby tree when it attacked me and female.

The splinter hits female but she was able to protect her belly.

It can't be helped so I shielded her with my body and was blown away.

Overwhelming.

My whole body was tattered with a single blow.

Female got wounded too.

I faced it full of determination.

But the grappler bear disregarded me like ridiculing my resolution.

Is it a whim? I really don't know but it must have already had a full stomach.

Irritating.

It's irritating but I can't do anything about it.

Rather than that, we should move before it changes its mind.

We left that place with me defending female.

Several days have passed since then.

My injured body is so heavy that I can't hunt.

Knowing our condition, it is hard to catch a prey.

Hit and kill it.

If I grow excited, I won't get anything.

It will only make me hungrier.

In any case, I, at least, need to feed female.

I'm concerned about the pup in her belly.

While thinking that I have to do something, we arrived at a strange place.

Trees were lined up in front of a soil that was dug up.

Apart from the dug up part, the trees that are laid down are trees that even I can't scratch. They are called unfalling large tree.

Beside it is the same type of tree.

How many of it are lined up?

....

For the time being, I tried barking.

Due to hunger, my voice was more miserable than I thought.

However, it was not useless.

A human came out from the other side of the tree.

I did it.

It is a meager guy.

A prey.

The moment I thought so, bad feeling attacked my whole body.

I felt fear much stronger than the time we faced the grappler bear.

That feeling is coming from the guy in front.

Thinking about it, even if humans are meager, they are surrounding the outer part of the forest and do not go deep.

To be able to live alone in the depth of the forest, you need to be stronger than humans. This is such a place.

Yet, he's here.

I must not judge him with his appearance.

Now, I just thought that we're in a very dangerous situation.

I was convinced when that human took out a stick and took a stance.

I only barked but I have summoned such a person.

It's too late to regret it now.

It seems that female, who's behind me, had prepared. She lining up behind me now.

When it comes to it, I'll just do what I can.

If possible, I wish he would at least spare female but such a convenient thing will never happen.

I looked at female's face.

When I thought that this is the end, I got scared.

However, it is not the end.

The human invited me and female.

I did not feel like escaping for some reason.

When we followed the human, we saw a great boar.

It's a big boar.

It is one specie who competes with us for the hegemony of the forest.

Even female and I can't beat it together.

It's down.

No, it has become meat.

I realized the strength of this human.

After that, human gave us the great boar and gave us a place for female to give birth to.

In addition, he can easily hunt prey in the forest for us.

I should give him my thanks.

In my mind, whatever happens, I don't want to go against him.

No, female and I recognized this human as our master.

Though our pups don't understand it yet because they were just born but I don't want to oppose master if possible.

*Yoshi yoshi yoshi!

There is a problem.

Master treats us like dogs.

I, female, and pups are species called Inferno Wolf…

Will it be all right?

I'm a little scared if he ever found out that we're not dogs.

"..."

It's been a week since Tanaka came into this world, and today, he started farming, he started plowing the land to make good soil for farming, while he was doing that, he started thinking of what crops would he plant on these fields.

And when he came back to his senses, he had plowed about 8 fields.

"Ah? I forgot about the seeds..."

Tanaka scratched the back of his head, he was so excited when he was plowing the fields that he forgot about the seeds to plant, and he also doesn't have any knowledge about the fruits in this world.

Or more like, is there really a fruit in this place? Tanaka has ventured around the forest for a while now, and he found no fruits on the trees nor even herbs, which is a little strange, he was now in dilemma.

*Swoosh!

Tanaka suddenly felt the freezing wind as he was thinking about it, he immediately went back to his senses and looked around him.

"It's getting cold... so winter also exists in this world... I need to prepare"

Tanaka then started his preparation for the upcoming winter, yes, he had only been here for a week, which made him think that he came when the winter season is just around the corner.

Tanaka first needed some dry wood, he made another house and stored all of the dry wood inside, he made sure there were a lot, next is the food supply which is not really a problem anymore since Reynolds and his family are here.

But he still has more problems, first were clothes, with his thin clothes, surviving through the winter will be harsh, and his house also doesn't have that much cover, actually, he has to remake the log house, it won't provide Tanaka protection against the harsh cold.

Tanaka never really thought about the winter season, he never put it on his mind.

"This is going to be difficult, what should I do? I need to make plans"

-The next day-

"Amazing!"

Tanaka exclaimed as he looked at the fields in front of him, he could see small sprouts growing from the soil.

"Did someone plant it for me?"

Tanaka could not help but be excited as he looked around his farm, he doesn't know what happened but Gods have probably helped him, he once again prayed to them, anyway, with this, he doesn't have to worry about looking for seeds anymore, and he also experimented with it.

In the end, he discovered that the fields he made using AFT will automatically plant a seed he was thinking of when he is plowing the fields, it was such an amazing tool.

But he didn't think about it for long since, winter is going to come soon, Tanaka still needed to make preparations.

-5 days later-

Tanaka was harvesting the fields, yes, the crops have already grown, though most of them were potatoes and tomatoes, though, it seemed like it grew this time around to help him survive the winter, but just as he was working.

*Woof! *Woof!

Roy called for him, then started walking away as if telling him to follow him, Tanaka was confused at first but followed Roy, not too far away from the distance, Tanaka could see a shadow of two figures, one was a dog, and the other seemed to be a couch?

"I thought it was a couch! it was actually a giant spider!?"

A giant spider.

Its body is about two tatami mats in size.

It's not a cushion but a futon.

It has eight legs to its left and right.

If it stretched out its legs it's probably about six tatami mats.

Its feature? It is covered with hair, not just the body but also the legs.

The spider beside Roy is acting gently.

What does it mean?

It doesn't look like they want Tanaka to hunt it like the wild boar….

Roy looks like he's satisfied as if he performed a big task.

"Hmm, nice to meet you?"

Tanaka asked confusedly if the spider could even understand him.

Roy barked at the spider as if saying something.

As if that was a signal, the spider spits threads from its buttocks and begins to skillfully fumble it with its forelegs.

What is it?

...…

After about five minutes, the spider wove a sparkling cloth using its own thread.

The size of the cloth is about fifty centimeters square.

Handkerchief?

It folded it into four and put it in front of Roy. Roy grabbed it and brought it to Tanaka.

"Oh, amazing! a spider that could make clothes!"

Tanaka could not help but be amazed as he looked at the handkerchief, it was the best handkerchief he had ever held in his entire life, he then looked at the spider.

It raised one of its legs and waved around as if saying something.

"Oh, so you want to live here, in exchange you will help me?"

It was but a simple give and take rule, the spider nodded, Tanaka smiled and didn't hesitate.

"Then welcome to my humble house"

Tanaka handshakes with one of the spider legs, he really had no reason to hate spiders, as long as they aren't poisonous, the spider looked very cute looking from his perspective.

"But where do you live though? should I make a house for you?"

Tanaka asked, the spider wiggled one of its legs then ran towards the biggest tree that Tanaka did not cut, it easily climbed to the top and waved its hands as if signaling it wanted to live on that tree.

"Ohhh, okay, if that is what you want"

Tanaka nodded and let the spider be.

"I can't keep calling you to spider so let's name you, hmm, how about Zafu?"

Zafu wiggled its legs as if it liked its name very much, with that done, time to ask about the needs of the new resident Zafu.

Basically, it can eat anything but Zafu seemed to love to eat potatoes and tomatoes, well, it was the only food they have right now but it likes it and asked for a lot to Tanaka.

It's not just Zafu who loved the potatoes, it seemed like the dogs also liked to eat it, so with that, Tanaka created 10 more fields to plant, based on his calculation, he still has about 4 weeks before winter arrives.

Zafu is also smart, it kept staring at Tanaka then made his clothes, as a thank you gift, Tanaka planned to give it some designs, but not right now since they have no paper.

And so for the upcoming days, Tanaka started storing for winter, Zafu was in charge of making clothes, curtains, even blankets, Zafu also make them very fast though, it was limited to 2 items per day.

In a way, the winter preparation was going very well, also Zafu made use of the untouched furs that Tanaka did not use and created warm clothes, it did combine the animal fur with its own fabric for the creation.

How sophisticated!

Also with the large fields, Tanaka couldn't look after all of it, but thankfully, Reynolds and the others took care of it.

The spiders in this world don't cry, cause they can use the instruments to create alarms, it'd send out an alarm if something is out of the ordinary, this is how it shows the directions to Tanaka.

North 1 time, East 2 times, South 3 times, and West 4 times, it learnt how to use drum after it once, amazing isn't it?

*Bong!

"So North"

Tanaka made his way towards the north and saw a racoon like animal rushing towards Tanaka, behind it was the dogs that were chasing after it.

It was fairly fast since it could outrun the dogs, Tanaka readied his AFT and turned it into a hatchet, when the animal got close to him, it swiped its claws towards him but Tanaka reacted fast and dodged the swiped, he then slashed it with the AFT easily being slashed into two parts.

"Fuu, with the AFT, living here is easier than I thought"

After bringing the prey back, Zafu helped to process it, with the animal encased in a spider web, the process of removing blood and organ has become much easier, after swiftly hiding the prey, Zafu returned back to the treetop.

-A few days later-

Tanaka is tending his farm today, he wanted to plant wheat to make bread, but just as he was doing that, Zafu's alarm suddenly went ringing 3 times.

"South?"

Tanaka turned his AFT to machete once again and moved towards the south, the dogs also moved very fast and ran towards it, a few moments later, he could hear someone screaming.

"A monster that could imitate a human scream?"

Tanaka immediately moved faster and when he arrived, he saw a small naked girl with her back against the wall and was surrounded by the dogs, she seemed to be bruised up, she seemed to be very scared, then when she noticed Tanaka.

"P-please help me!"

She yelled for help.

Tanaka immediately told the dogs to stop and went towards her.

"It's okay now missy"

The girl then suddenly jumped towards his embrace, then bit his neck and started sucking his blood.

The girl then started to grow rapidly, her body turned from a loli to a teenager to a sexy woman, her wounds also started to heal.

Tanaka was surprised by what happened and didn't know what to do, the dogs immediately came to his rescue and immediately bumped the girl away, and from there on, she was team combo by the dogs.

"Please, wait! it's... a mis... understanding! stop please!"

Sabrina dashed, the girl was thrown in the air and was attacked by the dog again before she hits the ground.

When the girl fixes her posture in the air, another dog jumps high and slams her on the ground.

It's a body slam.

Seeing that, Tanaka regained his composure.

"Wait, wait"

Tanaka stopped the dogs from attacking.

As for the girl, the dogs badly bruised her again and she returned to being a lower grade elementary schooler.

No, she's smaller now compared to earlier.

"Are you an enemy?"

"N-no no, please tell these fellows to calm down!"

"You sucked my blood but you're not an enemy?"

The girl before Tanaka might be a vampire.

He doesn't have any idea if there is anyone else who can do that.

"I apologize for sucking your blood. I would have died if I stayed in that state any longer."

"When you suck blood, you recover?"

"Yes."

That's why the dogs attacked her.

She immediately sucked Tanaka's blood as soon as he let his guard down.

"Will there be any effect now that you sucked my blood?"

Tanaka heard that if a vampire sucks your blood, you will turn into a lower-class vampire…

"…I-it should have had a charming effect but…it looks like it doesn't work on you."

"Will I also become a vampire…Will I become an undead?"

"You won't. If you dislike it, I won't ask for your blood anymore."

"…I see. In other words…I won't be facing any problem with what had happened. "

"Yes. I only drank your blood to recover. I apologize for the sin I committed unto you so please overlook it. "

…..

...…..

"For the time being, do you want to suck a little more of my blood?"

It seems like the girl and the dogs were surprised by Tanaka's proposal.

"I-is it alright?"

"I don't mind. You're not an enemy, right?"

She then sucked Tanaka's blood once again, and her bruised body recovered again, and she turned into a junior high school girl size, Tanaka felt a little ticklish as she sucked his blood, simply, it just felt weird.

"Fuu…"

The girl shows a satisfied expression.

Tanaka checked his body.

Though his blood was sucked, there is no effect.

In his previous world, Tanaka understands how bad you'll feel if blood was extracted from your body…

But he doesn't feel like his blood has decreased.

"How about a little more?"

Tanaka asked her to suck more.

"Eh?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

"O-okay…thank you."

The girl sucks his blood.

From a junior high schooler, she grows into a high schooler.

As expected, Tanaka doesn't feel like losing blood at all.

Good.

"Can you drink a little more?"

"I-I can…."

The girl sucks his blood further.

From a high schooler, she became a university student.

"Fuu…any more than this…"

The girl says that as if hesitating.,.. no, she is not a girl.

Beside him is a beautiful woman.

She can suck that much blood without him being affected thanks to the gift god gave him when Tanaka came into this world.

Healthy body

This might also be the reason why the charm has no effect on him.

Anyway.

Before him is a beautiful woman.

Moreover, she's naked.

....

Tanaka told the dogs to disperse and decided to invite her to his house.

"Eh, eh, eh? What? Wai…eh?"

Did he act like a savage?

The number of residents increased.

The name of the vampire is Rurunashi.

Tanaka has tried calling her in a number of ways but it eventually becomes Ruu.

By the way, the way she addressed Tanaka changed from Savage, Erotic Beast, Bastard, Village Chief, and now Honey Buns.

Because Tanaka accepted Ruu, the dogs accepted her too.

Tanaka was careless so when she met Zafu, she fainted.

Although she's a vampire, she's still a woman.

One would normally be surprised if she saw a giant spider with a lot of big spiders.

After she recovered, she somehow accepted Tanaka's explanation.

With Ruu's addition to Tanaka's place, he now didn't feel lonely, sure he felt guilty for taking advantage of her, but he underestimated his Healthy Body.

A healthy Body means his hornymones are also very active and Tanaka also lasts longer in bed, thankfully, Ruu was not angry and she even forgave him.

Nothing really changed after Ruu came, but the house was now too small for two people so Tanaka decided to make another house, this one is made of Bricks, it would have been difficult to make brick in the cold days but one thing Tanaka found after he met Ruu.

Magic exists in this world, Ruu could summon out a flame or even those magics that Tanaka saw in the movies, he was very happy so he told Ruu to help him in making bricks.

"B-bricks?"

"Yeah, with this we could build a house before winter"

"Honey-buns magic is not used like that..."

"Really? it's helpful though?"

"Just forget it, how many more bricks do we have to make?"

In the end, Tanaka took about 2 and a half weeks to build the new house, and it was also a good thing because winter was just around the corner, with the new house, the cold has become bearable, and Tanaka also added a chimney.

Though the house is only 1 story, Tanaka would turn it into a 3 story after winter, anyway, It didn't take long for winter to come and Tanaka is locked up inside his house.

"Hmmm, something is different with this tomato"

Tanaka said as he looked at the tomato on his hand, different from the ones he harvested, this one is pure red and Tanaka could feel something on the tomato but he couldn't what it was, and so he decided to ask Ruu.

"Eh!? that is a Mana Fruit!"

Ruu exclaimed loudly as she saw the tomato, her expression was of shock and surprise.

"Is it something rare?"

"Rare? no honey buns, this fruit is close to divine! it was said that fruits like this are blessings from Gods themselves"

"Oh really?"

Tanaka was surprised then he turned towards the box near him.

"I guess, gods like to bless tomatoes huh??"

Ruu looked towards the box and saw it was full of Mana Fruit, she had a deadpan expression on her face as she looked at those fruits.

"Anyway, let's give everyone each so they could taste it"

"O-okay"

Ruu nodded and she felt light-headed, Mana Fruit is a very very very rare fruit that was said to be given by gods, those who have chanced and ate it became great figures, one of the popular ones was the Wizard King from the Clover Kingdom who was known to be able to take down a powerful demon.

But to think there were so many in front of her that they seemed to ber just a normal fruit in a basket, no wonder she felt she was dreaming, then she could not help but look at her new husband.

A man who was loved by the gods, that is what she thought of him.

Tanaka ate the mana fruit that Ruu said and it actually tasted different from a normal tomato, it was crunchy, juicy, and there was this difficult to describe sensation whenever he ate one, it was like he feels his body getting energetic?

Well, that was it, Tanaka then distributed the fruit to everyone, from the dogs to Zafu, but to his surprise, the children of Reynolds were already waiting for him outside, all in a single line.

"Hmm? What is the problem, guys?"

*Woof!

The dogs barked at the same time then scattered away, Tanaka was surprised and confused.

"Are they leaving?"

He sadly thought, he then turned towards Reynold and Sabrina, the two then explained what the pups will do through body language.

And it seemed the dogs decided to look for their partners.

"Will they come back?"

He asked but he was not sure, but at least, Reynolds and Sabrina still decided to stay with him, he felt a little sad though, Tanaka hugged Reynolds and Sabrina while looking at the leaving figures of their pups.

The next day, Tanaka noticed that Reynold and Sabrina seemed to have been working hard looking over the field, are they consoling Tanaka? well, he was happy about it.

But he really hopes they don't work too hard because it was still snowing outside, anyway, for the rest of the winter, Tanaka and the other stayed up inside while Zafu hibernated.

Doing nothing made Tanaka a little restless so he decided to do his favorite hobby from his past life and that is drawing manga/comics, Tanaka had always wanted to become a popular manga/comic artist but unfortunately, he wasn't able to chase after it due to his poor family.

But he still tried to draw when he had a chance and created some small manga for his own, he was not very confident in his own works so he did not show it o others other than to his mother who continuedly to support him.

"Hmm, I should recreate the popular ones from my past life, I missed reading them"

Tanaka smiled as he reminiscence his past, on his day, manga and comics were very popular but as technology started to move, manga and books have become less popular than it was almost forgotten, but Tanaka still loved his past.

And so, he wrote the ones he loved the most.

Tanaka took out a stack of paper that he made a week ago, it was as good as modern paper, he then took out a dip pen that is made out of wood, as for the ink, it was given by Ruu, he then placed all of the materials into the table and started drawing.

With God's hand that was given to Tanaka, drawing was very easy and it only took him a few minutes to finish drawing a character, and his drawing was almost realistic even if it didn't have any color.

"It's done"

Tanaka looked at the character he drew with satisfaction.

A small young boy of a petite figure, He has fair black hair with a single strand protruding onto his forehead, black eyes, and rosy red cheeks. He wears a blue suit, white socks, black shoes, and a tiny crown on his head.

"Hmm? What are you doing Honey Buns?"

Ruu who just woke up looked at Tanaka and saw the paper in his hands, curiously looking over it, she couldn't recognize who it was, but she was surprised by how realistic his drawing was.

"Who is that?"

"His name is Bojji"

"Bojji? I have never heard of him before"

"Well, he is a fictional character"

"Are you going to make a book?"

"A picture book called Manga actually, do you want to read it when I finished making one?"

"Of course honey buns, I want to read a story that you made"

"That is great, I will continue drawing, I may probably be able to finish it by night time"

"Okay"

With that, Tanaka started working, even though he hasn't memorized the story but the story was part of his all-knowing ability so he could recall everything from the most accurate detail.

In the end, he finished it by evening, earlier than he had thought, Tanaka then dried the papers and started making dinner.

"Are you done Honeybuns?"

Ruu came and looked over the papers laid on the table.

"Yes, go on read it, by the way, read from right to left and from top to bottom"

"Eh? why is it organized like that?"

"I just felt it was right"

"Hmm... Okay, I will read it now okay?"

"Go on, I will make dinner while you are reading"

Ruu then started reading the story, she first looked at the title of the story.

"King's ranking? That is a unique title"

The story started with explaining what is the King's Ranking, To be part of the Kings ranking, a king must have a powerful army, a great wealth, and powerful individual prowess, then came next was a naked kid walking on the streets being laughed by people.

He walked as if he didn't notice the laughter of the people around him, it was as if he couldn't hear them, that kid's name is Bojji.

On one fine morning in the kingdom, Bojji meets a shadow like figure out in the forests. The shadow introduces itself as Kage. Kage tried to rob him, but he didn't have any money, so instead, Bojji gave him his clothes, which turn out to be pretty expensive. At first, they are both afraid of each other, but they become acclimated to each other by agreeing to meet every day so that Boji may give Kage his clothes. The two get extremely close, but the cost of their relationship awaits them ahead, on a perilous road littered with razor-sharp blades...

"Merry Christmas Honeybuns!"

Ruu said to Tanaka who was making something.

"Eh? Christmas exists in this world?"

Tanaka was surprised.

"Yes, today is December 25 which is the birth of Christ"

According to Ruu, Catholics exist in this world, and it was the same as Tanaka's past life, though he felt sorry for Jesus because even in the other world that guy got crucified, poor guy.

And since Christmas exist in this world, Tanaka, of course, decided to celebrate it, he was not a catholic in his past life but he always celebrated Christmas with his family in his past life.

Tanaka immediately called everyone in the house and celebrated it, even Zafu who was hibernating was called, Christmas was meant to be celebrated with your family, though, their feast is not that grand because Tanaka didn't prepare but it was good that everyone is happy.

But there was still Christmas eve, Tanaka is going to prepare for that one, while he was at it too, he gave gifts to everyone, he did not just make Manga's in the past few days but also made some other things.

For example, chess, instruments, and some furniture, Chess went to the dogs, they were very intelligent and learned how to play after Tanaka explained it once, the two dogs like to play with each other and gathered around to play chess, Tanaka modified the chess pieces since dogs move the pieces with their mouth so he made it easy for them, they are still learning so they weren't playing with Tanaka for now.

Next is Zafu, Zafu liked the Mannequin that I made which is made the size of Tanaka and Ruu, as expected of the fashion designer of the village.

Next is Ruu, she took all of the Manga that Tanaka made for the past few days, she became really addicted after reading the King's Ranking manga, anyway, after drawing the King's Ranking, Tanaka also made a few more respectively, One punch Man, Inuyasha, Slam Dunk, Clannad, and lastly, Detective Conan.

Yes, almost all of them were very old manga's, the reason why Tanaka draw One Punch Man was to see how detailed he could be in drawing things, well, there is more detailed manga such as Berserk but it was too dark for the taste of Tanaka.

So he went for One Punch Man, anyway, for the instruments, no one really has any interest in it other than Tanaka, so he used it for himself, Tanaka loved listening to music in his past life, it was just a blessing for the soul.

Tanaka made 2 instruments, Erhu, and a flute, as for the other instruments, Tanaka doesn't have enough materials to make them, Tanaka then took the Erhu, The erhu, is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, more specifically a spike fiddle, which may also be called a Southern Fiddle, and is sometimes known in the Western world as the Chinese violin or a Chinese two-stringed fiddle.

Tanaka made it using Zafu's strings wi the different densities.

"Hmm, what song should I play?"

Tanaka looked around him, he then noticed Ruu reading the Inuyasha and suddenly remembered its OST, which is a piece of very good music.

"it will be incomplete since there is no piano but..."

Tanaka closed his eyes and started moving his hands, slowly, the music was being heard by everyone, they looked towards Tanaka playing the Erhu, they all stopped what they are doing and went in front of him.

(To Love's End - Erhu Cover)

The sound of Tanaka's childhood flashed before his closed eyes.

"How we wished to remain young forever, in the end, we were having fun without knowing we were also making memories"

He whispered under his breath but it was heard by everyone, they all closed their eyes as if reminiscing their past, after a while, Tanaka finished playing and had a smile on his face, he opened his eyes and saw everyone was sleeping around him with a satisfied smile on their faces.

"Good night to all of you"

Tanaka gave a kiss to every single one of them, even Zafu was given one, there is no disgust in Tanaka eyes, in his eyes, every single one of them was his family, he went to the storage room and took a bunch of blankets and covered everyone, he then laid beside them and also slept.

"..."

It has stopped snowing and the dogs were the first ones to run outside and play, Tanaka followed them and looked around, it's not the end of winter yet but it was not that good to hole up inside the house for a long time.

The snow was very thick and it reaches up to the knees, Tanaka summoned his AFT and turned it into a shovel, he then created a pathway to make it easy walking around, after he was done, Tanaka decided to play and make a snowman.

Yes, acting like a kid but it was great to have fun, he also played freebie with the dogs who loved running around the snow, after a while, as he was playing, Tanaka noticed figures not too far away running towards him.

When he saw they were, Tanaka was beyond happy, it was the dogs who went out to find their partners! and they came here with their partners, Tanaka immediately welcomed them back with a hug and also met their partners.

The dogs were full of bruises but they seemed to be proud of it, anyway, they had a tiresome journey so Tanaka made them rest towards their houses, due to the increase in numbers, Tanaka decided to make more dog houses for them.

Anyway, Tanaka decided to give the dog's partner names.

Ryan's partner is Iris

Reyna's partner is Aris

Ray's partner is Firis.

Roy's partner is Eris.

Reen's partner is Uno.

By the way, Uno is the one who became the most familiar with Tanaka the most compared to the other newcomers.

When he is playing with the Dogs, Reen bites Uno's neck to drag him.

During those times, Uno has an "I don't care anymore" face.

Hang in there.

One thing Tanaka also noticed is that, the dogs don't sleep inside Reynolds and Sabrina's house anymore, it seemed like they also established their hierarchy, those two are considered to be the leader of the dogs now.

Their horns also started to fall from their forehead, Tanaka collected all of them since the horns are made out of metal, he now doesn't have to worry about mining, he can just smelt these things and turn them into ingots.

The dogs also don't seem to mind.

Anyway, Tanaka made a lot of dog houses because he knew these dogs will soon give birth to new pups.

Tanaka thought of expanding the fields for future needs…

On the opposite side where the river is, he made a large space that can fit 16 fields, a four by four field, and enclosed it with a log fence and moat.

Thinking about the future, the number of their children will increase so this space is necessary.

Tanaka left the log fence between his place and the new one but he fill up the moat on that side.

They might feel that they are isolated if they left the moat as it is.

Because Tanaka used the AFT, the supposed to be hard work became easy.

In the blink of an eye, it started snowing once again, but Tanaka wore up a coat, boots, and a scarf.

"Where are you going Honey Buns?"

"I want to go out for a bit, I'm just going to see something"

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, just stay here"

Tanaka kissed Ruu on the forehead and went out, Ruu looked at her husband and decided to follow what he said, she just hopes nothing happens.

Tanaka went outside, he wanted to go out alone today because he felt there was something calling him, but just as he got out, he noticed the group of dogs was already waiting for him.

And they seemed to want to follow him very much, nothing he could do, Tanaka decided to bring some of them, at least with them with him, his safety is guaranteed.

Tanaka then made his way towards the west, he doesn't know why but he felt like he will see something if he goes there, it was just a feeling but it was so strong that Tanaka could not ignore it.

It was snowing heavily and it was very dark, but in Tanaka's eyes, it was bright as the day, the snow somewhat made him slow but it was bearable, there are also no monsters in the vicinity, Tanaka traveled for about 2 kilometers seeing nothing but trees until he noticed an open area and for some reason, there is no snow in that open area.

Making his way towards that open area, Tanaka noticed that the dogs seemed to have frozen, not literally but they seemed to not dare to move forward, seeing this, Tanaka immediately took his AFT and turned it into a spear.

He then noticed a huge shadow looming over him, looking up, he was very shocked.

A looming figure shadowed over Tanaka as he was but a small being in front of this being, truly it was a monster of legends that only exist in books, its figure was humongous that it could even swallow the moon, its claws were so sharp that it could tear down the world, its body covered with scaled that as hard as steel, its eyes were so intimidating that you would think you would be eaten just by it looking at you.

A dragon, something that Tanaka didn't think that would exist in this world.

"What is a human doing in this place?"

Its voice echoed around the forest, it was very ancient and full of pride, Tanaka could not help but think.

'As expected of a dragon!'

"Umm, nice to meet you! my name is Tanaka! I live not too far away from here"

Tanaka introduced himself without a shed of fear.

The dragon squinted its eyes as if trying to look through Tanaka, but it found nothing.

"Interesting, but human, this place is not for you, leave this place immediately, and hmm? Beasts?"

It turned its head towards Tanaka[ back, when he looked back, he saw Reynolds and the others trying their best to get as close to him even when they are scared in front of the presence of the dragon.

"Ah! please don't hurt them! they are my family!"

Tanaka immediately said as he saw them, he then made his way towards Reynolds and the others and hugged them to keep them calm, they were trembling from fear but they still wanted to protect him, such foolish little guys.

"A family huh?"

"Did you say something Dragon-san?"

"Nothing, you shall leave this place or you will suffer the same fate as me"

Tanaka was confused by what the dragon said but when he looked at it carefully, he noticed a sword stabbed at the stomach of the dragon, it was very deep and there was a lot of blood leaking.

Tanaka didn't know what happened but he immediately told Reynolds and the others to bring bandages and alcohol, if the dragon was left out for a few more times, it would probably die, and Tanaka was a guy who can't let that happen.

Reynolds and the others hesitated at first before following Tanaka's orders, they immediately ran back at the fastest speed towards the house.

Meanwhile, Tanaka sat near the dragon while he waited for Kuro and the others.

"Human, I told you that you should leave this place, once my enemies see you, they will also hurt you, I am thankful for your kindness but I don't need it"

The dragon said to Tanaka.

"Sorry but I can't, I had a promise, I will help anyone in need as long as they are in front of me, if I ever break that promise then I will be nothing but the same people who hurt you"

The dragon was speechless and looked at Tanaka, it could not help but think how different he was from other humans, he doesn't show any fear, he was curious and he was also kind.

"I see"

The dragon nodded, it decided that if its enemies ever arrived, it will protect this human.

It didn't take long for Reynolds and the others arrived with a lot of items on their backs, it seemed like Ruu also got worried and followed after them, but when she saw the dragon, she was also scared.

Tanaka saw this and hugged Ruu.

"Don't worry, it's okay"

Ruu calmed down a little bit and nodded, seeing she was now okay, Tanaka decided to treat the dragon's wound, Tanaka looked at the sword.

"Its futile human, that sword is a holy sword, other than the human who stabbed me with it, no other human could pull it"

The dragon spoke as it looked at Tanaka who was observing the sword.

"A holy sword? amazing, let's see, tell me if it hurts okay!"

Tanaka grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out.

*Swoosh!

The sword was easily pulled out by Tanaka as if it was nothing, the dragon looked at him with surprise and could not help widen its eyes in surprise.

"Oh it's out! wait a lot of blood is leaking! Ruu hand me the alcohol and bandages!"

Tanaka immediately took the alcohol and poured it on the wound of the dragon, after making sure it was clean,m he bandaged it immediately, though the bandage was a little small, it still stopped the blood flowing out from the dragon wound.

"It's done!"

Tanaka had a smile on his face as he said that, his hands and clothes were covered in blood but he didn't mind, he looked at the dragon with a smile.

"Are you okay now!?"

"Yes, you have my thanks human, can I ask what is your name again?"

"My name is Tanaka"

"Once again you have my thanks human, I will return this favor back in the future"

The Dragon said then it stood up, spread its wings, and flapped it.

*Swoosh!

With a single flap of its wings, the dragon flew out from the night sky and disappeared from their sights.

"if you need a place just come to my place!"

Tanaka yelled as he waved his hands.

"Wow, as expected of a dragon it's fast!"

Tanaka exclaimed like a kid.

"Honeybuns! how can you be so reckless! that was a dragon!"

Ruu came and grabbed Tanaka.

"It's fine, isn't it? It very friendly too"

Tanaka tilted his head.

"But that was a dragon! they are very scary beings that could destroy a country on a whim! what if something happened to you! what would I do now if you were gone!"

Tanaka saw Ruu's worried face and could not help but smile, he lifted his hand and caressed Ruu's cheeks.

"I'm sorry I made you worry, I won't do anything reckless again next time"

"You better!"

Ruu hugged Tanaka and buried her face on his chest.

"Let's go home"

With that finished, Tanaka and the others went back home, before he went to sleep, Tanaka thanked Reynolds and the others for trying to protect him, he gave them pats, and before he knew it, there was already a line of dogs forming in front of him, each wants a pat.

'You guys..."

Tanaka sighed helplessly but he happily patted each one of them.

As for the supposed to be a holy sword that was pulled out by him from the dragon, Tanaka decided to store it hidden for now since it was very dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Christmas eve, Tanaka forced everyone not to sleep yet, even Zafu who was sleeping on top of the tree, one thing that Tanaka liked the most was celebrating the New Year, for him, it meant a new life.

Tanaka also sculpted the Gods he met, he doesn't know their faces but he somewhat knew their figures, after that, he prayed from morning to night, then now was the present, he also cooked a lot of food for the feast.

Though all of them were either boiled or barbequed, Tanaka doesn't have a source of oil yet.

Anyway, there were only a few minutes left before the new year, but Tanaka was surprised when he felt the ground shake for a bit.

"An earthquake ?"

He then noticed the dogs seemed to look outside, following them, he saw the dragon he met a few days ago.

"Oh, you are here! Please come join us to celebrate New Year!"

Tanaka invited the dragon with a smile.

The Dragon said then the dragon was covered with blinding light, and in the next moment, a naked girl with yellow hair stood at the last location of the dragon.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Tohru, I would like to live here from now on!"

Tanaka was surprised at first since the girl in front of him acted differently.

"Ah... W-welcome! come inside but first, wear clothes first!"

Tanaka invited her with a smile, but he could not help but gulp as he saw those big bombs that she have.

'Is this the normal size of a dragon?'

Tanaka thought.

"Clothes?"

Tohru looked at them and saw the clothes they were wearing, she then waved her hand and her body glowed once again and when it disappeared, Tohru was now wearing the same clothes as Ruu.

"Hmm, that is good, let's go it will be New Year soon! we have lots of food! let's go everyone!"

Tanaka immediately said and everyone returned back to the house.

Ruu and the others were a little bit awkward at first but Tohru has a bubbly personality and she got along with everyone very well, though, for some reason, the dragon fainted when she saw Zafu.

Do dragons also hate spiders? no one knows.

But Tohru immediately got used to the presence of Zafu and they became friends.

it didn't take long for the new year to come and everyone celebrated as much as they could, unfortunately, there was no alcohol.

"It seems I have to prepare thoroughly for the next year"

Tanaka said with a smile, when everyone went to sleep, unknowingly, Tohru was lured by Ruu into his room, something bad or good happened?

In the middle of the night, Tanaka was laying on his bed while two beautiful sleeping women were beside him, but that was not the thing that kept Tanaka awake, he was surprised.

Looking at the girl with golden hair beside him, he couldn't still believe it, Tohru, an anime fictional character, there was no way Tanaka will not recognize her, he has watched a lot of anime in his past life and he haven't forgotten any of them.

Tohru, the main character of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, one of Tanaka's favorite female characters, it came as a surprise for Tanaka as he never have thought that he would be able to meet an anime character in this world.

But Tanaka felt a little bit off looking at Tohru, he somewhat got used to looking at her in maid clothes from the anime, Of course, Tohru was beautiful even without the maid clothes but as an anime fan, Tanaka still preferred Tohru wearing maid clothes.

Anyway, he now has some kind of problem, Tanaka had never thought that he would outlast a dragon in bed, Tohru admitted it herself, she couldn't take him on the bed, which made Tanaka think as to how active his hornymones was.

Truly, he has a healthy body.

Tanaka was curious about how Tohru was in this world but seeing her beautiful sleeping face, he decided to ask tomorrow, he gave the two beautiful girls beside him each a kiss on their forehead and went to sleep.

The next day, Tanaka woke up early feeling his arms a little heavy as the girls used it as their pillow, the two haven't woken up yet, so he sneaked out from their embrace and made his way outside.

It didn't snow that much yesterday so there was no pile of snow outside, Tanaka was greeted by the dogs as he got out of his house, they are active today as well.

Tanaka saw Reynolds close to him and he could not help but pat it on the head, and as he was patting Reynolds, he noticed a line forming behind Reynolds, the dogs also wanted pats, he sighed and of course gave each of them a pat.

After he was done, Tanaka went towards the kitchen and started making breakfast for everyone.

"Hmm, what should I make today?"

Tanaka thought of what to make today, he doesn't have that many ingredients yet, no grains for now since he wanted to plant it in the spring.

"Meat and fruits I guess"

With that Tanaka started making breakfast, starting the fire, He started cutting up some pieces of meat, he made it a little bit thin then it became a ham, next is the corns, since he doesn't have wheat yet, Tanaka used corns as alternatives.

He first boiled the corns in a big pot for 30 minutes, then cooled it down, while it was cooling down, Tanaka started cooking the ham that he made, using the oil he got from processing fats, sprinkling a little bit of salt while he was at it.

After that Tanaka focused on the corn once again and started peeling off the kernels, it only took a few seconds to peel off the kernels from the corn with the AFT and God's hand combo.

After that, Tanaka added the kernel to the hams and it started cooking, it's not really a professional dish but it was enough to fill everyone with energy in the morning.

Tanaka then started grilling meat for the dogs, they were in charge of cooking and they needed a lot of meat, there was a lot of meat so Tanaka didn't have to worry about the food being empty.

After he was done, Tanaka woke up the girls, they were still sleeping even when they woke up but they made their way towards the bath to wash while waiting for the girls to finish washing, Tanaka started feeding the dogs.

Tanaka prepared a lot of meat for them but oh boy, they gobbled it all up in a matter of seconds, but they were very satisfied after they finished eating, Tanaka then made his way back to the table where the two girls are already waiting for him.

"Goodmorning miss beautiful, Sorry for the wait, let's eat"

Tanaka said with a smile

"Goodmorning Honeybuns"

The two girls replied with a smile, Tohru also decided to call him honeybuns copying Ruu, they then started eating breakfast, while they were eating, Tanaka decided to ask

"Tohru may I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Why did you come here?"

"Because I want to be with you, you are my chosen mate"

Tohru replied without hesitation

"I'm happy that you chose me dear, but that is not what I was asking, I mean there was a place called the dragon realm or world right? how were you able to come here?"

Tohru was a little surprised that Tanaka knew about the dragon world.

"Well, yeah, I did come from there, some of us dragons have the ability to travel to a different dimension, I came into this world by chance since I loved to stroll around, but some humans seemed to have found me and fought me, then I run away from then YI met you"

"I see, sorry for asking you something uncomfortable"

"I don't mind, it was a blessing in disguise because I met you"

Tohru said with a smile.

"Wait, wait, Tohru, you are not from this world?"

Ruu who had been listening for a while asked in shock

"Yes?"

"Nothing, no wonder, I did not recognize you, there are some famous dragons in our world like the dragon on the mountain not too far away, and there was also the sealed dragon called Veldora, though I think its only fairy tale stories since it came from afar kingdom, do you know any of them"

"I see, but unfortunately, I do not know them, we dragons are not all connected, the dragons you are talking about are either natural-born or created by gods, in my case, we are dragons that are born from a sacred dragon tree, which is very different from the other dragons"

(A/N: None of this is true and I just made them up for the plot, hope you don't take it seriously)

"I see, thank you for the information"

Ruu bowed

"No problem"

The two girls seemed to get along very well which made Tanaka very happy, the house has become very lively with the addition of Tohru in the house.

"huh? I feel like I missed something important.. well, whatever"

Tanaka felt like he missed something but he decided to just shrug it off.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, the winter has ended without Tanaka knowing, he just felt that his days were full of life and not boring, unlike in his past where he always felt like the time is moving slowly.

Anyway, since the winter has ended, Tanaka decided to start his plans, also, since Zafu has finally woken up from its hibernation he introduced Tohru, she seemed to be a little creeped out by Zafu, no not disgusted but it was as if she met her predator.

This made Tanaka think that maybe, dragons are scared of spiders? well, it took quite a while but Tohru was able to get along with Zafu after a while, Tohru also liked playing with the dogs, they have gotten along very well.

Anyway, Tanaka has started plowing land for the wheat, for some reason, Tanaka craved to eat rice and bread, was it because he was a Japanese person from his past life? nonetheless, wheat has many uses, for example, creating alcohol, wine, and beer.

Talking about beverages, Tanaka also missed drinking, he then decided to also make one for grapes, they are good for making many types of wines, and while he was at it too, Tanaka made one for soybeans, and also plant some coconut trees, soybeans are for making Miso Soup, a Japanese person cannot live without that.

As for the coconut tree, coconut has many uses, so Tanaka doesn't have to specify that, though he wasn't sure yet if he could plant a tree yet, but it was worth the try, to do that, Tanaka created a hole where he wished to the gods for a coconut to appear in it the next day, he made about 10 of it.

Anyway, it was only after he had done all of this that he realized that he had a problem, due to making more fields, the workload has quadrupled, even with Tanaka's Healthy body, doing all of these works would be hard for him.

Just as he was thinking of what to do with his current predicament, Zafu suddenly came down from the tree it was living in and what surprised Tanaka more is that there were a hundred spiderlings behind it.

Zafu wiggled one of its legs and the spiderlings followed as if they were greeting Tanaka.

Zafu has given birth to spiderlings!

A hundred spiderlings, yes, that is how many Zafu's children were, Tanaka could not help but remember the documentary he watched on TV that spiders could give birth to many spiders.

The spiderling's appearance was the same as Zafu except that their size was only as big as Tanaka's fist, yep, very small, Tanaka has to be careful when walking around to not step on the spiderlings, but it was later given a solution as the spiderlings created webs from trees to trees to travel.

It took quite a while for Tanaka to get used to it but anyway, the spiderlings also have good intelligence, they could understand Tanaka and even follow his orders, they also help tend the fields, making Tanaka's workload easier.

They also love to eat potatoes like Zafu, so to coup up with their number, Tanaka added 10 potato fields, at least with that, he doesn't have to worry about the spiderling not having any food.

Well, enough of that, today, Tanaka decided to ask Ruu about the nearby kingdoms of this world, he learned it after Tohru described the kingdom that tried to hunt her down.

According to her, she was attacked inside a country called Holy Empire Ruberios, it was they seemed to be fanatics that wanted to kill every monster in the world, which made Tanaka thought of Crusaders in his past life.

Anyway, they sound dangerous that Tanaka became concerned and decide to learn about the world around him, only by knowing what's around you that you will know what dangers it has.

First of all, the land where I was staying, The Land of Death, itwas a very vast land that was surrounded by mountains, if Tanaka put it to how big the land was, it was the size of Japan and China together, yes, that was how big the land was.

It made Tanaka wonder how big this world was, japan was already fairly big much less China which was even bigger, but anyway, The Land of Death was in a territory of a Demon Lord.

"Wait? a demon lord? is it really okay to live here?"

"Did you get help when you build this place Honey buns? or receive any money?"

"I made these all myself"

"Then you don't have to worry, just because it was in the territory of a demon king doesn't mean it was rightfully theirs, they don't even have any authority in this place, so it's okay"

"Okay..."

The Demon Kingdom is located at the North East side of Tanaka's place, they are also in a war with a human kingdom which is the Holy Empire Ruberios.

"Such a barbaric kingdom"

"They are nothing compared to Nasca Namrium Ulmeria United Eastern Empire, which is a more powerful kingdom, they seemed to be aiming for a world conquest"

"Oh... I guess, everybody wants to rule the world eh"

"Are you going for the world conquest too Honeybuns?"

"Naa, I don't have any plans to"

Ruu could not help but look at Tanaka who smiled at her, a human that has no desire for power, it was a first for her.

"Anyway, tell me about other kingdoms"

"Okay"

On the Southwest from their place, there were kingdoms that specialized in magic, this made Tanaka interested as he heard it, there are 4 major magic kingdoms, Spade Kingdom, Clover Kingdom, Diamond Kingdom, and the Heart Kingdom.

Almost 99% of their population are magicians, they also have special artifacts called Grimoire that every people has in their kingdom, this caught Tanaka's interest, doesn't that mean if he also had a grimoire he could use magic? well, that is for another time.

Then on the west which is a vast sea, there was no kingdom there as it seemed to be an unclaimed land.

"There is actually a land over the sea, I went there once and they were at war right now, their technology seemed far higher than the one on this land if I remember correctly, it was a country called the Empire was waging war with every country there"

Tohru spoke as she suddenly remembered.

"Whoa, this place is so chaotic, anyway, do you know what kind of technology do they have?"

"If I remember correctly, it was steam technology combined with Magic, a certain god is also overlooking that place"

"I see"

"Well, that is all of the notable kingdoms around us"

"How about the north?"

"Hmm, in the north, there is nothing but a big chunk of water and some small islands, that place is also covered with pirates and some organization called World Government are stopping them"

"World Government? then aren't they like the strongest organization then?"

"No, World Government is just a name they gave themselves, there was no meaning to it, they are not necessarily overlooking the world, and they don't have the power to"

"I see, this world is scary"

"Don't worry honeybuns, we will protect you"

Tohru and Ruu said at the same time and jumped to his embrace, Tanaka smiled and hugged the two of them, he is lucky to have them by his side.

"..."

After learning a little about this world, Tanaka was at least became aware of some things, but even if there are wars everywhere, as long as they don't disturb his peace, Tanaka won't care about them.

Anyway, life continued and Tanaka continued improving his daily life, and one of those things was to build a bathhouse, Tanaka had been bathing with cold water ever since he arrived in this world, even when he has a healthy body, he just couldn't take the cold water.

And so he planned to build an onsen for everyone, first things first to find a hot spring... well, there was actually no need to find one.

Why?

Because there is magic! Tanaka can just as for either Tohru or Ruu to heat the water at the right temperature, banzai magic!

So to start it off, Tanaka decided to look for a place to build the bathhouse, he wanted to make the onsen look as natural as possible, he looked for a rocky area, then used his AFT to create a natural-looking pit, of course, he made sure to clean it up.

He scraped off the dangerous areas such as pointy stones and other things that could hurt a person, building this place took Tanaka a little more than a month since he was kind of a perfectionist when it comes to these things, but hey, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Tanaka finally finished with a 30-meter size onsen with natural rocks and a fence that covers the onsen, while he was at it too, Tanaka installed a manual water pump so that everyone doesn't have to go to the reservoir every time they need water.

The only thing left to do now is to fill the onsen up with water, which will also be done manually...

"Wait... Maybe I can ask Ruu to fill it with water using magic, yeah, that is good"

Tanaka suddenly had a thought and immediately decided to go to Ruu, but just as he was about to go towards Ruu, he heard Zafu's alarm rang 2 times.

"East?"

Tanaka made his way towards the east and summonsed his AFT, it took him a few seconds to reach where he saw there was a commotion as the dogs charged towards that place.

Arriving the place, he saw a girl with blonde hair and white wings, being bitten by the dogs while screaming for help and running away.

"An angel? no wait, everyone stop! stop!"

Tanaka immediately stopped the dogs from biting the poor angel who was now all bruised up.

"Thank you for your help"

The angel said and waved her hand, a golden light covered her entire body making all the bruises and her disheveled clothes return to normal.

'Magic is so cool'

Tanaka thought as she saw her magic, just as he finished patching herself up, Ruu and Tohru arrived.

"Honeybuns, What happe-guh"

Ruu's expression was that of a kid caught by her parents, she smoothly turned around to run away but the angel noticed her.

"Ha!! so you were here Rurunashi!"

The angel pointed at Ruu with her fingers.

'Ah...'

It was too late as the dogs thought of this as a form of attack and immediately attacked her with a chain combo of left and right, it could be said that her state was the same as Ruu when Tanaka first met her.

Tanaka was able to stop the dogs from attacking the angel but she looked pitiful after that.

"Honeybuns, I will talk with her, you can go back, for now, I will tell you later"

Ruu said as she pated Tanaka on the shoulder,

"Okay, she is free to come in"

Tanaka nodded and brought the dogs back, it seemed like the angel was scared of the dogs now, Tohru decided to stay with them.

-Night time-

"Rurunashi and Tohru how dare you two lie to me!"

The angel named Tia yelled as she tried to escape the door of the room, but she was held by Tohru and Ruu clinging to her tightly.

"We need your help! we can't do this by ourselves!"

"Yes! we need you!"

"No!"

"I'm fine with Tohru and Ruu"

"Don't speak honeybuns!"

"..."

It was a very chaotic night.
