--- When Primis was in "Danmachi" World was about to contact Ophis for the first time ---

[You want to know whether there's something like Dungeon which you can be used in your Home to increase your members strength, right?]

'Primis: Right.'

[Yes. There is something like this. It's called "Stairway to Heavens".]

'Primis: Stairway to Heavens.'

[Mn. It's a tower which has floors just like dungeon. As you go higher, stronger enemies will appear.]

'Primis: Since you didn't mention it until now, this means some conditions need to be met, right?'

[Yes. There are two ways to get it. First, you need to become 3rd Level Existence.]

'Primis: Can't I just do it in my Awakening?'

[You can. But you are forgetting something. Your Awakening uses Origin Force. So, if you will make the tower than it will be full of Origin Force. As a result, only you will be able to enter it and that is only in your Awakening Form.]

'Primis: I see. And the second option?'

[...…]

Twilight became silent for some time. Primis raised one of his brows but waited patiently.

[Kill another host. Then I will absorb that his system and gave you "Stairway to Heavens".]

**Primis POV**

There are countless numbers of Worlds, some weaker and some stronger. If someone will reincarnate or transmigrate into one of those worlds, then most of the time the System they obtained make them the strongest existence in that World.

In other words, if someone will be transmigrated in a Level 5 world then with the help of their System, they will be able to reach max Level 5 in the end. Same will be case if one will be transmigrated in Level 10 or Dimensional God level world.

Simple worlds, there is limit to how much strong those so-called Reincarnator and Transmigrator could reach even with the support of their System.

The Systems that could make one stronger than the current limit of the World are minor in numbers.

Anyway, the point is Twilight only said that she needs another system to create "Stairway to Heavens". She didn't specify what type of or whether it should stronger or weaker system. Means it could be any system.

That's how I come to a new theory. What about the Greater Holy Grail?

As one knows that the "Greater Holy Grail" is one of the strongest magic of a Nasuverse or should I say Megaverse. Hence, with its boundless power, its quite easy for it to create many low, medium, or high-level systems.

When I asked these questions from "Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern", she confirmed my theory. So, if I used my wish as the winner of Grail War, I could get a required system.

However, then I thought of something else. What if instead of getting a system, I would turn the very Greater Holy Grail into "Stairway to Heavens".

Though when I asked "Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern" about it, she declined since this will literally mean that the Grail will exclusive belong to Primis. That's not why the Grail is for.

Still, I used his Zenith to contact Alaya and Gaia asking about it. And they agreed without a single hesitation. Mostly because since I only wanted the Greater Grail of that world, it won't affect any other timelines or parallel worlds.

I still remembered how "Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern" kept on blinking her eyes in shock and disbelief.

Nevertheless, since I got Alaya and Gaia permission, she can't do anything about it.

But it wasn't over just there. It was my turn to be surprised next. It seems that the Alaya and Gaia of that world also decided to separate themselves from the World and become the two Guardian Spirits or Wills of my "Stairway to Heavens".

Yes, you heard it right. The Huge tree behind the Towers is in truth Gaia while the Dragon circling in the air is Alaya. That's the form they took. Not only that but as the Guardians they could see every single thing that is happening in the towers. No one could hide from them. Of course, except for me since I am both the tower and theirs master now.

Oh, one more thing. Like I said before, I only took the Alaya and Gaia of that specific world. Other parallel worlds and Universes still have them. Of course, if some higher beings like Beasts or Ultimate Ones haven't destroyed them that is.

Anyway, it took billions of years to accomplish that. The Greater Grail must first fully merged with my "Pets" world. Then it needs to be converted to "Stairway to Heavens". Then the types of monsters and beings that will be inside it. Then the trials it will give and many more.

It was so much that even my consort, Arcueid Brunestud had to stop her work and give her hand in its creation.

Anyway, after all that hassle, its finally done.

(*A/N: There is a new Auxiliary Chapter named "Guardians". I have put some pictures there.)

Satella: "Stairway to Heavens". Huh.

Satalla had come out of Primis shadow and was also looking at the Tower in astonishment.

Primis: Yeah. It's the best place to become stronger faster. Of course, it won't be easy either.

???: B-But isn't there l-limit to how much s-stronger s-s-s-someone could become.

Primis heard a timid heard behind him.

???: I also agree with that. There is a limit to everyone's talent and potential, Prime.

???: *YAWN* Even though the Divine Dragon from our previous world has the power to destroy the entire Continent, it's also his limit.

???: *DROOL* if one keeps on eating others, they will become *SLURP* stronger more easily.

???: I want to explore the tower to find any bad people there.

???: Not right now, idiot.

???: Oh my, didn't you understand what our master, Prime just said. This tower is made to make us and others to become stronger. I suppose, this means every monster and beings inside are enemies, right?

Primis: Right.

Replied Primis as he glanced back at the others who had appeared and standing alongside Satella.

The timid person who spoke the first was a 160 centimeters tall woman. She had red downcast eyes and long pale-pink hair that was parted down the middle and tied into loose asymmetrical bunches falling down the front of her shoulders that went all the way to her hips.

She was "Witch of Lust, Carmilla".

The second person had barely exposed skin was porcelain-like and pure white, so white that it seemed any semblance of color had been completely bleached from her existence. Her black eyes shone with intellect and were the only part of the woman that looked alive. Her long straight hair reached down to her back and was as white as her skin, and it also had a black butterfly hairpin. Anyone who saw her would be instantly captivated by her striking beauty, although the sight of her would also inject overwhelming fear into a person's soul.

She was "Witch of Greed, Echidna".

Third person could be described as a beautiful yet languid woman in her mid-twenties with absurdly long, unkempt, purplish-red hair that went down to her toes. She was dressed in a sultry outfit that was primarily black and complimented her voluptuous and feminine physique rather perfectly. Her skin was described as pale, to the point one would consider it unhealthy; her face gave off an extremely debilitated and apathetic look.

She was "Witch of Sloth, Sekhmet".

Fourth one had shoulder length ashen hair which she had tied in two tails. Her appearance was that of a 13 or 14 year old child. She was dressed in a pitch-black straitjacket which she wore over her white clothing, that were chained to her coffin. Both of her eyes were completely covered by a blindfold, wrapped to cross over the center of her face, which lent to her appearance having a more witch-like aura as opposed to other.

She was "Witch of Gluttony, Daphne".

Fifth one was a young girl who looked as though she was around ten years of age. She had large round red eyes that brimmed with curiosity and short messy deep-green hair that fell down to her chin-level and was stylized into a bob-cut of sorts. Her skin was dark, and her face possessed an adorability expected in a girl of her age. The little girl gave off an aura of a lovely young girl. Contrary to her true nature, evoked images of youth, innocence, and purity to those that met her.

She was "Witch of Pride, Typhon".

Sixth one was a beautiful young woman who stood at exactly five feet tall. She vivid slightly-slanted sky-blue eyes that were almost transparent. Her long gleaming golden hair was tied into a messy ponytail on the left side of her head that rubbed against her face. A pretty pink and blue love heart pin was also fastened to the left side of her head. She had bountiful breasts and a shapely bottom that lent her a fair deal of sex appeal in the eyes of others.

She was "Witch of Wrath, Minerva".

Seventh one had already made her appearance in the previous world. "Witch of Vainglory, Pandora".

And along with the last one "Witch of Envy, Satella", they made eight "Witches of Sins".

However, when Primis took them, they were given one more title. The title of Guardians. The Guardians of the pocket universe which Primis created in "Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World".

They are "Guardians of Multiverse Library".

Except for Satella who loved to live in Primis shadow, other seven witches would spend their time in "Multiverse Library" unless Primis called them. There were many things there which will be explained later. One more thing, they prefer calling Primis as Prime.

Primis: You are right that there is limit to once strength and potential. But that's what the "Stairway to Heavens" is for. It will not only guide you break through your limits but will also renew your potential with each breakthrough.

Minerva: Whoa! Whoa! Are you saying if someone entered then that person can become strong endlessly?

Primis: Yes.

Carmilla: N-No way.

Sekhmet: In that case, anyone could become strongest in short period of time.

Scáthach: There is a catch.

At this time, Scáthach stepped forward and drew others attention.

Scáthach: Knowing Lord, it wouldn't be this simple.

Beatrice: Mn. The reason why Betty become so strong because is Big Brother make Betty fight countless strong enemies. Not only that but Big Brother also placed a lot of restrictions on Betty. Because of that Betty is where she is now.

Ophis: Mn. Unless someone is pushed to the limit of their being, they can't break their limits. And Primis won't let it any other way.

Echidana: Hehe...I won't deny that.

Primis: Anyway, you will know once you enter. Currently, its useless to me, Ophis, and Scáthach since we have reached the limit of our current being. It's for you and the others that will come in future.

Typhon: Can I go to explore, Prime?

Primis: No. The first one to enter will be Minerva.

Minerva: Huh? Me?

Becoming dumbfounded, Minerva pointed at herself.

Primis: Yes, because you have the least experience and offensive power. Now get over it.

Pandora: Can only one person enter at a time?

Primis: No. I only said Minerva will be the first one to enter. The moment she does, you all will follow.

Daphne: Is there any point on who will go first or last?

Primis: I wonder. Now, enter.
