As soon as arrived home I immediately knew something had happened because I found everyone staring at a big ass wooden box in the middle of the living room, the box even had a big red silk ribbon tied on it "... did we miss someone's birthday or something?".

As soon as everyone heard my voice they all turned towards me, my daughter immediately ran up to me and I picked her up in my arms and rub my cheek against her "hello Kunou, did you have fun today?".

Kunou smiled and cheerfully nodded "yup! I had a fun morning and I trained with Bell and Lili all day!".

I smiled at my daughter as I walked up to all my girlfriends and gave them all a kiss, Ryuu was already home from work and welcomed me with a kiss as well, she surprisingly was a very affectionate and she immediately got used to shows of affection like these though she does get embarrassed or shy once in a while something Yasaka and Serafall were already working on apparently.

Those two just enjoy corrupting the girls not that I mind or complain about it, they just have habit of causing all kinds of craziness to happen to me with the way the girls sometime act because of their teachings.

Sometimes one of the girls would burst their way into the bathroom while I'm taking a bath or they would sneak into my bed and sleep with me buck ass naked or things like that and I knew it was because of Serafall, she is after all the most perverted out my girlfriends and lives to cause cliché like situations like these to happen to me all the time.

But again I'm not complaining, in fact I'm used to it now I just feel bad for Bell because I've seen Hestia, Lili and even Ais take notes when she's talking about how to spice up a relationship and how to keep a man happy, Bell is just not ready for that sort of attention but all I can do is pray for his innocence and chastity cause I'm not getting in the middle of that mess.

That way lead to madness, in any case after greeting my girlfriends with a kiss I then turned towards the big gift box in the middle of our living room and stared it "so, where did this come from? and why is everyone staring at it like it's about to explode?".

Serafall scratched her head and began to speak "well its rather confusing... an Amazon girl 'she was pretty sexy by the way' drop this off a few minutes ago and just left without any explanation other than to take care of it".

I nodded and began to think of what Amazon would have a reason to drop a gift but the only Amazons we were friendly with are Tione and Tiona "hmm that's weird... why would someone drop off a gift and who could be?".

Suddenly the box shook which startled everyone a bit, then a small and soft voice came out of the box "umm... can someone let me out? they didn't put any holes to breath in this box and I'm running out of air...".

We all stared at the box in silence for a few seconds but then began to panic and immediately try to open the box to let out whoever was inside we all stared in disbelieve as a blonde green eyed Renard popped out of the box and took a big breath "ah! thank you... I think I almost died in there".

Everyone didn't know what to say especially me since I recognized this girl right away, right in front of me for some reason is Haruhime Sanjouno the Renard that Bell was supposed to rescue from Ishtar "...".

Yasaka immediately rushed forward and helped Haruhime out of the box while Kunou jumped off my arms and went to check on her, Yasaka began to check over Haruhime "are you okay? who would put you in a box like that?".

Haruhime smiled at Yasaka but then froze when she notice Yasaka's nine tails "... you have nine tails... it's just like in the stories, just like Inari sama but how? that's should be impossible".

Yasaka tilted her head, she of course knew of Inari but she also knew that Haruhime wasn't talking about the one Yasaka knew but the fact that the Inari of this world is a ninetailed fox must have surprised a bit "errr I don't know how to answer that question, but are you okay?".

Haruhime nodded and then bowed at everyone "yes I'm fine, thank you for letting me out of there Ishtar-sama and Phryne forgot to put holes in the box".

*More like she didn't care to put any... dammit I'm glad Haruhime is here but I didn't want to deal with Ishtar and her Familia full of sex crazed Amazons! I just killed the entired Ikelos Familia do I have to go and kill that bitch too?*

At mentioned of Ishtar both Hestia and Ryuu gasped and I'm not surprised since Ishtar is well known in Orario, Hestia stood up "and why would that useless love Goddess do that to you?".

Haruhime tilted her head but answered Hestia's question "I don't know all the details but Ishtar Sama was very happy that someone named Rean killed off Freya and her Familia Hestia-sama so she sent me as a gift to him...".

I tiredly sighed and rubbed my eyes in exasperation while everyone stared at Haruhime in disbelieve, Hestia however recovered "what? but how could she do that to you? aren't you a member of her Familia? why would she give you away as if you were some sort of toy?".

To someone like Hestia, the fact that Ishtar could give away someone from her Familia like that must have been a real shock, after all to Hestia her Familia is her home, her family and she wouldn't give any of us away ever, Haruhime sadly shook her head "well Ishtar-sama said that I wasn't very good at my job in the red light district anyways and that she no longer needed me, so that I should instead make myself useful to someone else... I'm going to miss Aisha though...".

Kunou grabbed Haruhime's hand and smiled at her which seems to cheer her up, my daughter then turned her head towards me and then cheerfully smiled at me "daddy can we keep her!?".

I sweatdropped as I stared at my daughter "err Kunou, she's not a pet but if she wants to stay here I don't mind though you really should ask Hestia this is her mansion remember?".

Kunou then turned her head toward Hestia and hit her with a full on puppy dog eye technique which made Hestia flinch as if something had hit her "ah! she can stay! but stop giving me those eyes Kunou!".

And she folded like wet paper, she didn't even try to put up I fight but I understood though, Kunou's cuteness was too dangerous.

Kunou cheered and smiled at Haruhime who gently smiled back at her "there! now you can stay with us Haru-chan! now come one! let's introduce you with everyone".

Haruhime nodded and then my daughter introduced her to everyone, my girlfriends accepted her right away and already treated like a friend which its not surprising, Haruhime is a very kind and sweet girl so anyone would like her.

Haruhime even asked Sakuya about her maid uniform and seemed very interested about Sakuya role as a maid, of course my super maid was more than happy to talk about her job as a maid and I already knew that she would be taking Haruhime under her wing.

In the anime Haruhime did become a maid for the Hestia Familia after all and she seemed to like it so I'm not surprised she got interested in Sakuya, Kunou then introduced her to Hestia, Lili and Bell and immediately saw them get along very well.

Hestia accepted her and sympathized with her in her eyes Haruhime was abandoned by Ishtar and that made her far more accepting and caring towards her even though I knew for a fact that Haruhime was way better off now.

With Lili, Haruhime became very friendly with and the two of them talked to each to get to know each other better and then came Bell.

The moment this two were introduced and began to speak I could tell there was a connection between them, especially when Bell mentioned his hobby of reading about Heroes of old something Haruhime liked to do as well..

Her eyes sparkle when Bell mentioned the fact that he was training to be a Hero and he even told her about some of the battles he triumphed over and Haruhime listened to him with all her attention.

She was then introduce to me, she bowed and gave me a smile, she then explained that even though it was sad that she was giving away like that she was still thankful to be free from her previous life.

I couldn't help but to smile at her and nod, it seems that with Freya out of the way, Ishtar isn't going to become a problem to us which is good, I honestly didn't feel like dealing with her and her Familia especially since I was already busy with grinding to evolve to Dragon God.

After that Hestia took her to give her a Falna while the rest of us got ready for dinner, a lot has happened today but right now we'll just enjoy a good old family dinner.

During dinner everyone spoke about their day and the latest gossip, apparently things were beginning to calm down in Orario and everyone can begin to move around in peace without someone pestering them with question.

Ryuu also told us that Syr had come back and that even though she seemed a bit less energetic and cheerful she was still pretty much the same as always.

The smile on Ryuu's face made me glad that I had spared Freya, other than that everyone else spent their day relaxing or doing their own chores but that reminded me about the Xenos so I began to explain to everyone what I had done during the day.

After explaining everything Hestia, Lili, Bell and Ryuu stared at me in disbelieve while Kunou and my girlfriends just accepted my words, Hestia then spoke up "sentient Monsters? Rean that just sounds insane you know?".

I can give her that, the Xenos were just another race of beings but to the people of this world who had to fight, hunt or survive Monsters all the time it must be pretty crazy to find out that there's some that spoke and could think, Bell then spoke up " you said that you took them to your My Pokehome right?".

I nodded "yes, it was the only place I could put them where they could live in peace plus they also agreed to help me with the Pokemon Farm I'm building there".

Bell nodded "well I'm glad you could help them, with they way you described them they seemed like they're very nice and kind plus no one deserves to be hunted down like they did".

Lili the hummed "but you ended up killing off another Familia, things were finally calming down but with this it might get difficult to move around for a while again".

Ryuu then shook her head "no I don't think so, Rean took them out in the Dungeon so eventually everyone will assume they fell to the Dungeon".

I nodded "plus I'll be taking care of Ikelos myself discreetly, I don't want to put our Familia in the spotlight again and so soon".

Everyone nodded and agreed that this was the best possible solution to this whole situation and after dinner I took everyone to meet the Xenos.

The Xenos were excited to meet with new people and immediately got along with everyone especially with Kunou who immediately made friends with all of them, she grabbed hold of little Arles the Almiraj and held her like a stuffed animal.

Not like she minded after all, it sort became a party after Wiz began to take out food and snacks and for the first time ever the Xenos got to experience delicious human food.

They all fell in love with Wiz's food and pastries and Wiz being the kind woman that she is promised to bring them food often and even told Ray, Fear and Rayne that she would teach them how to cook as well.

While everyone was busy partying and eating I decided to summon some of the Pokemon I wanted to have for my farm, 4 Mareep (all females), 2 Spinarak (one male and one female) 2 Sweedle (both female) and 1 Combee (female).

I summoned the Mareep for their electric wool, I wanted to experiment a bit with it and see what I can make with my Crafting and Sewing skills.

The Spinarak I chose for their special silk and the Sweedle because their evolution Leavanny are not only good at sewing but they also produce a especially type of silk that works wonders for clothes and the Combee for it's honey, once she evolves as into Vespiquen I'll summon more Combees and start a colony so we can get a constant supply of honey.

I was now back to zero Common Pokemon Tokens but I still had a new Starter Pokemon Token and a Legendary Pokemon Token to use and with them I summoned Totodile (male) and a Girantina (female).

I chose Totodile purely out of a nostalgic sentiment since its the first Pokemon I had ever gotten when I first played my first Pokemon game which at the time was Pokemon silver version.

I smiled at the little blue crocodile and then got in one knee, I gave him a small pat oh his head and introduce myself to him, he's a little bundle of energy since it began to jump around excitedly and then ran to the lake to join the rest of the water Pokemon.

Then I turned to Girantina who was just floating in the air staring at me in silence, I reached over and begin to rub her chin which made her softly growl and smile, many would have been terrified of the Ghost and Dragon Type Legendary Pokemon before me but me?.

No, I like Girantina and as a fan of Ghost Type Pokemon it made me happy to have her in my team plus she was adorable with how happy she seemed to be while getting attention.

After that I introduced myself and she immediately flew into my shadow, it seem like I'll be having a passenger whenever I go from now on, the rest of the night I spend it with my all my friends new and old and while we were having fun I explained to the Xenos what I wanted them their help with, Asia even promise to help them and teach them what to do.

This how this crazy day full of surprises ended, tomorrow will be another day but for now I'll enjoy this nice night with everyone I care about around me.

The next day I left early in the morning again to go the Dungeon, having seen where the Dungeon's core is made want to go see it and hope that I would finally get some answers as to why the Dungeon seems to act up around me.

Last night before I went to sleep I decided to do a couple of things, one was use the Legendary Weapon Gatcha Token and to my surprise the weapon I received was the Vampire Killer in its Morningstar Form.

A very powerful weapon known to be able to kill anything or anyone related to the dark especially vampires, this weapon is known to be able to even harm Death.

However I had a small problem, this weapon can only be used by a Belmont and I'm not one, so I only had one choice and that was to have Excalibur absorb the Vampire Killer and gain all of its abilities without any of the drawbacks.

This is how Excalibur gained a whip form and also became far more effective against dark creatures, Excalibur has become the bane to all creatures of hell and the night.

I just had to learn how to wield a whip first, I looked through the in game shop but I couldn't find a Skill related to whips so I was going to try to use it and gained via the System but I'll do that some other time, right now I wanted to focus in becoming a Dragon God.

Last night I also dealt with Ikelos, this God was a total piece of shit and the moment I met him I immediately hated his guts, it didn't take me long to find him since he was hiding out in a house located on Daedalus Street.

I used Aura Sense to find him and teleported to him right away, the bastard actually smiled and greeted me as if was a friend or something and when I told him what I had found out his Familia was doing he just shrugged and said that he wasn't responsible of what his Familia chose to do.

The guy just refused to acknowledge or even accept any responsibility and he was completely unafraid of me thinking that I would just killed him and he would go to Tenkai.

To bad for him that I wasn't going to let him go to Tenkai, I grabbed the bastard and pull his entired self into his puppet body and then teleport him right on onef of the lower floor of the Dungeon.

He immediately began to panic as he finally understood his predicement and knew what I was planning to do to him, the Dungeon has a very well know effect when a God dies within it, the god doesn't go to Tenkai but rather their soul and essence get eaten by the Dungeon.

So Ikelos realizing this tried to run away but I didn't let him, then moment he turned around to take off running I stab him through with Excalibur in her Spear Form.

Since Ikelos is the God of Nightmares and thus considered a dark God by Excalibur instantly set him on purple fire, Ikelos died burned alive by sacred fire and was absorbed by the Dungeon never to be seen or heard of again, I went back home and went to sleep after that.

As soon as I arrive into the deepest floor I've been to, I began to traverse the Dungeon towards the lower floors, today I brought Latias, Ivysaur, Wartortle and Lavitar with me.

I was hoping for the latter three to finally reach Level 100 and evolve, things were easy for us and the monsters didn't give us any trouble at all, sure they were powerful and great in number but it wasn't something we haven't faced before.

Even the Monsters Rex like Amphisbaena who was a boss in the water filled 25th to 27th floors known as the water city was easily dealt with, it was a good thing that I can breath underwater and that Latias and Wartortle can easily fight inside water as well, otherwise this floor might have slowed us down a bit.

Though I did have to engulf Ivysaur and Lavitar with Barriers and move then around in the water with Psychic.

After that we reached the 30th floor and we found it filled with all kinds of Dungeon fruits, apparently this floor is known as the Dungeon Crops, me and the Pokemon tried a few of the fruits and picked the ones we liked the most to take some with us and plant them in the My Pokehome, I'm sure Ray and the others will know how to care for them.

After a while we finally reached the 37th floor known as the White Palace, it was named like that since the walls, ceiling and floor are white in color and a massive Labyrinth.

Thanks to Aura Sense we were able to easily traverse the Labyrinth and find our way out but not before having to face the Monster Rex and floor Boss Udaeus.

This Boss was very annoying since in its room which spawns Monsters none stop until Udaeus itself is defeated and they would all swarm us and get in the way, I really wished I could use my big spells and skills but not only is that a stupid idea but also very dangerous with how deep underground we are, it was too bad that the Loki Familia haven't reached this floor and dealt with this boss, I would have liked to skip this battle all together.

But oh well at least because all the monsters my Pokemon killed they were able to reach Level 100 and as soon as I killed Udaeus and I evolved them right away so now I had a Venusaur, Blastoise and Pupitar though I had to have Venusaur carry Pupitar around with one of his vines since he couldn't really walk around anymore.

After that we went down and reached the rest area which is floor 39, in this floor we all decided to rest and eat some lunch, since we've been grinding in the Dungeon for a few hours now, it is said that it takes five days for anyone to reach the 50th floor and I can see why.

Adventures didn't have to just deal with the terrain and monsters but they also had to deal with the environments and the sheer size of the Dungeon's lower floors.

The Pokemon and I can fly and pretty much survive in any environment since I have Reactive Adaptation and since this is a skill I give to all my Pokemon they also can survive anything and grow stronger for it, this is why they no longer have a weakness and why they're so resistant to damage.

After eating and resting we continued with our exploration until we reached the 44th floor, this floor is very unique since it looks so different from the rest of the Dungeon.

The walls are black in color and looked like carbonized rock but the interesting thing about it was the red colored crystal veins all over the walls which made it look Iike these floors were made out of lava.

The monsters weren't a joke either and I can see why many Adventurers fear these floors, the monster weren't only bigger and more numerous than usual but they were smarter and the spawn rate was insane.

Nothing we couldn't handle though but I can see why the Loki Familia hed to prepare for so long when they decide to come this far down, the good thing about this floors was the many crystals, minerals and gems that can be found in here.

I collected quite a few for when I go back to playing around with forging again, I still need to make a new Dagger for Bell after all.

Eventually we reached the 49th floor, this one is apparently known as Moytura and it's a big desolate room, there's only rock and sand in here, the only peculiar thing about the room is that it's brown colored and that the Monster Rex known as Balor serves as the floor Boss here.

We took it down easily enough especially since I decided to Mega Evolve Venusaur, Blastoise and Latias, the monster Rex didn't stand a chance and we took advantage of it to test out their Mega Evolved forms for a while.

Afterwards we continued on to the 50th Floor which apparently is a safety point, we decided to rest for a while, even though we were traversing the Dungeon easily enough we still got a bit tired from all the fighting.

Astrea told me that the Dungeon was still in a very good mood and was practically waiting on me to come to her which is why we weren't having a hard time but that made me think about how difficult these floors usually are for other people.

During all of this grinding and fighting I've been getting a lot if Exelia and Experience points, my Falna should be close to Level 6 now and I'm slowing but surely reaching Level 100 as a Heavenly Dragon.

The amount of experience points I need to Level now is ridiculous and very annoying, thankfully Astraea told me that once I evolve to a Dragon God the Experience points needed to Level up won't be as ridiculous as it is now.

That made me curious as to why so I asked her and she told me that at that rank there's no pint on limiting my growth, as a Dragon God I would become a being far beyond anything in the multiverse.

Thanks to Gamer and my race I will become a conceptual being with no limit as to how powerful can become, of course at first I'll only have a few conceptual domain but as I progress I can gain more and my influence will grow.

After a while we decided to continue on, the next floor were labyrinths and here we had a bit of an issue, the halls of this Labyrinth were a bit narrow so we had to walk in a single file for most of it, while we walked in these floor.

That made fighting extra difficult but we made it work somehow, Blastoise was at the front acting like a shield and cannon while Venusaur would use Vine whip or Power Whip to attack from Blastoise's sides.

I was next in line and was carrying Pupitar behind me with Psychic while I teleported in and out of the line to attack far off monsters, it was quite akward to fight like this but we did our best though I did get smack in the butt or the back of the head with a vine by accident once in a while.

To my amusement the monsters found in this floors were known as Valgang Dragons a type of dragon like monsters who were vicious and very dangerous to anyone but us.

Me and my Pokemon just continued onward non stop as we kept going down and down into the Dungeon while defeating monster after monsters, the further down we went the more powerful they became but we didn't mind the challenge since this helped all of us grow stronger.

Eventually we reached the Lowest level of the Dungeon and where it's core layed, the core was a massive orb of green and brown energy with veins of that same color spread all over this massive floor.

At this point I didn't even know which floor we had just stepped in or exactly how many hours we spent going through the Dungeon but it was quite the trip, now that I have visited all the the floors I can teleport everyone to any floor which can come in handy plus some of the Drop Loot I got was pretty good so I'll definitely comeback with the girls to farm some.

Pupitar has also finally reached Level 100 and that's proof of just how many monsters and how many battles we had, so I evolve him into a Tyranitar which is one of my favorite Pokemon ever.

But right now someone else had my attention and that someone was inside the massive green and brown orb of energy, I can see a feminine silhouette inside the orb so I approach it and it immediately reacted by glowing and pulsating.

[Rean, that woman inside the orb is a Goddess but she feels complete and very powerful... she's a Titan.]

*A Titan? that's a rank above God right?*.

[Yes and they're very powerful but what is she doing here? why is she inside that orb?.]

*Good questions, let's find out shall we?*.

Without missing a beat and as soon as I reached the orb I placed a hand onto it and I immediately heard a voice within my mind.

-Yay! I can finally talk to you Rean! that other Goddess withing you is a meanie! she wouldn't let me connect to you no matter how many times I asked!.-

[I don't know you!? so how can I trust you not to do anything to harm Rean huh?! be glad I didn't blast you away the first time you tried to connect to Rean!.]

-But I just wanted to talk! and ask a few questions! no one ever wants to listen to me and all the Adventurers hate me! how is it my fault that they come in here so unprepared?! Rean is the only one who knows what he's doing!.-

*Is that why you been sending me challenges and helping me?*.

-Yes! I've seen how you come here prepared and ready to have fun! sure my Dungeon is dangerous but it's supposed to be a training ground for Heroes but all the Adventurers here are just interested in power and fame!.-

*I'm not a Hero you know? and I really don't want to be one either*.

-Thats fine! just the fact that you seem to enjoy my challenges and my Dungeon makes me happy so I don't mind, I've been able to burn excess energy and have fun thanks to you Rean! I can't thank you enough plus you saved my poor children too-.

*Well your challenges have been granting me a lot of materials and rewards so it a win, win situation besides I couldn't just leave the Xenos to suffer when all they really wanted was to live in peace*.

-Fufufu and you say that you aren't a Hero... Rean your really are the best you know? I wish I could go with you, I know your not from this world-.

*You don't like your world? why?*.

-No one understands what the Dungeon was supposed to be... I had to spend centuries watching how these so called Adventurers kill my creations and go through my challenges for money and power, I've watched them killed each other in their greed, I had to watch as the world forgot about the Heroes of old and act like my Dungeon is just an everyday job...-.

I can sense her sadness and it made me feel bad for her * I've been coming to the Dungeon for materials too you know? I really don't understand what I'm doing so different than the rest of the Adventurers of Orario*.

- Your having fun growing stronger and testing yourself, you deserve to get something for your efforts so I don't begrudge you for grinding for all kinds of materials but I love the fact that you accept my challenges with a smile on your face! it makes me want to do better!-.

*I see... you been lonely huh?*.

-... Yes... only Ouranos remembers the real reason I build the Dungeon which is why he built the Guild but somehow everything just turned wrong and no one appreciates my efforts to help them grow stronger so I lashed out and punished them... but that just backfired and made everyone hate me so I gave up and just continued to work but then you appeared and you were so different and unique that I just had to test you! and you accepted my challenges with a smile and that made me so happy!-.

[... listen, there's a way for you to leave with Rean but you will have to make a big decision to do so.]

*Astraea? why?*.

[Rean we both know how it feels to be lonely and forgotten... she's been living like that for so long and I can't just leave her here to be miserable for the rest of her existence, it isn't fair.]

Astraea was right of course, as someone who had a lonely life before this new one I have an idea of how the Dungeon must be feeling *alright so what do you say Dungeon?*.

-I want to leave! I want to go wherever you guys go! I just know that together we can have all kinds of adventures and I want to see all of that! but I can't physically leave... my body is acting as the core of this Dungeon and if I leave the Dungeon will die and collapse taking Orario with it and I don't think you guys want to do that.-

And she's right, I want to avoid that happening since there's a lot of people I care about that live in Orario [I have a solution for that but it would mean that you will have to leave your body here, I can take your soul and have it join the System, that's the big decision you have to make.-

The Dungeon stayed quiet for a few minute but then her voice echoed in my mind soon after -lets do it! I want to leave with you guys!.-

[Okay! Rean place your hand on the orb and I'll absorb her soul into the System leaving her body here to remain as the core.-

*Will that affect the Dungeon in any way?*.

[Spawn rate will decrease and less Loot Drops will be dropped by monsters but that's it, everything will remain the same oh! and with her soul in the System we can have any Xenos born in the Dungeon teleport directly into My Pokehome thanks to the connection we're creating between her and us.]

*I see then everything should work out* I placed a hand on the orb of energy and smiled *welcome to team Dungeon*.

-Gaea my name is Gaea, I look forward to working with you for all eternity Rean!.-

I smiled and nodded *then welcome to the team Gaea, Let's have some fun!*.

With that said there was a big flash of light and then Astraea absorbed Gaea's soul into the system, this is how the Dungeon joined Excalibur and Astraea inside my soul
