Diluc enjoyed sleeping in his bed without worries. He had texted Inko about his discovery and told her to wake him up before dinner. He was currently having the most comfortable sleep of his two lives on his bed and nothing could ruin it. Of course, except a villain making a ruckus in the next-door neighbor's house.

He woke up from the shouts next door but didn't get out of bed, that was their problem and he hardly knew them so he didn't feel bad about leaving them to die. Unfortunately, god had other plans. Heroes began surrounding the house and started shouting to put the hostage down. Apparently, the villain had a bit of leverage, however, it still wasn't Diluc's business. There was no reason to interfere.

Then, a window shattered as glass spread everywhere. Diluc was in the mind to ignore this as well, until he realized that the window that was shattered was his and the villain was now in his room with a hostage. The glass shards fell all over the bed and prevented Diluc from further napping.

Usually, Diluc would thank the villain for waking him up and saving him time in Dark Souls but he had just today discovered that he was able to nap without problem. Now, this villain had just woken up a child that discovered that he could sleep tightly and had basically no qualms with killing.

Diluc stood up from his bed.

"Hey kid, get out of there! He's a villain that's murdered 7 grandmas and 2 babies!" A hero from outside shouted. Apparently, this waste of space had only targeted those that had troubles with defending themselves. This would make getting away with killing him much easier for Diluc.

"Hehehe, and you'll be number 3!" The villain said while charging at Diluc. His intention was obvious and the heroes were too far away to save the child. Fortunately, to charge at Diluc, the trash had discarded his hostage.

The villain materialized multiple knives to hold in between his fingers on one hand for throwing and had a single knife in his other to stab with. Thankfully, the villain had a quirk that summoned. Summoning quirks were dangerous if you didn't know what they could summon and even if you could, you couldn't stop a summon, only deal with it. However, you had to rely on human abilities to use that summon and this is why this villain couldn't win against Diluc. He had just finishing killing something that surpassed anything resembling a human, although by some luck.

Diluc did a simple side step and implanted his fist in the stomach of the villain. It wasn't like he suddenly became a fighting god that could dodge attacks by a hair's breadth and his vitals with every strike but he had the foundations down completely.

The villain's ribcage completely collapsed and coughed up blood. However, this wasn't anime coughing up blood, his broken ribs had punctured some very important organs with interfered with some very important bodily functions. The heroes checked both the female hostage that was crying in his room and Diluc who had just bodied a villain with a track record of killing those with an age disadvantage. They checked the villain's vitals and found that his death was quickly approaching, they quickly wheeled him off in a stretcher they got from god knows where and took him to the hospital that was exclusive for injured criminals.

Inko and Izuku had arrived upstairs to find a very damaged villain being wheeled off and Diluc who was lamenting the fact that he could no longer sleep on his bed because of the ruined mattress and blanked because of the glass shards.

(A.N. It's unrealistic but just go with it. My novels are familiar with glass shard ruining lives.)

Inko and Izuku pulled him into a hug of relief. Inko was terrified after hearing the commotion upstairs but was too slow to get there in time to help Diluc, although he didn't need it. Izuku was just glad that he was safe as well as happy that his brother already showed some potential as a hero.

Diluc was forced to sleep with Inko tonight.

(A.N. Get your minds out of the gutter. No incest in this novel.)

Diluc found himself back in Iudex's boss room, completely empty of the threat that once inhabited it. He immediately opened the large metal door and left the 'graveyard'. He was now on a path to a large building, but before he could get there, he had to deal with some undead.

The grunts really were no match for Diluc, their bones were easily broken from a club and their shouts of terror filled the area for a while.

After he was done, instead of going to the 'sword master' that really served no useful purpose other than being a health bar to extinguish, he went directly into the firelink shrine.

Entering, he found a different assortment of people; he could see someone leaning on a massive throne with an evil glint in his eye. There was someone sitting down in armor, downtrodden. The firekeeper whose body made Diluc salivate slightly, her curves could hardly be matched by the models in the real world and everyone has a slight kink for blind women. Prying his sight from her, he took notice of the grandma and grandpa, one proficient in business and one proficient in smithing.

He walked up to the firekeeper who was in the middle of the large building. Although blind, she took notice of him.

"Welcome to the firelink shrine, Ashen One." She spoke with a soft voice. Diluc was able to restrain himself from perving on the attractive maiden although she wouldn't be able to notice it. His body was now that of an adult's, which meant that he could have sex if he wanted to.

"Hello maiden, may I ask about the specifics about this place?" He asked in return. He needed to make sure that his knowledge was useful here, if he thought he knew everything but it was changed, that might be worse than not knowing anything in the first place.

The firekeeper proceeded by telling him everything he already knew, thankfully, nothing to the structure had changed.

"So why are you here then?" He questioned. Of course, he knew the answer, but it'd be suspicious if he already knew everything and why wouldn't he use a chance to talk more with a bombshell like the firekeeper? He may be lazy but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to be sexually active.

(A.N. Momo doesn't count yet, she's like 5 at this point in the story.)

"In exchange for souls, I am able to empower people. If you ever want to become stronger, please come to me." She replied. Diluc was glad that the main source of gaining power was still present, if her powers changed or something, this would get much more difficult.

"However, before I empower you, I encourage you to get a change of clothes." She directs her blindfold to his clothes which are basically covering nothing. His abs that he didn't work for were showing and although his 'underwear' was able to cover him, it wasn't able to cover the bulge.

Now, Diluc wasn't someone to show away too much from being basically naked in front of a beautiful woman, but she was supposed to be blind. No one else was paying attention to the man who had entered the man who had entered the building other than the firekeeper so thankfully, no men saw.

"Aren't you supposed to be blind?" Diluc replied without covering himself although he definitely could.

"Every single woman is looking for a handsome man." She replied. Aside from the fact that she didn't answer question, Diluc was happy that the firekeeper was at least somewhat interested in him.

"Then what clothes can I use?" He asked in response. Out of nowhere, she pulls out a black fur set of clothing, highly resembling Diluc's clothing from Genshin Impact although not an exact replica.

"Although you can't use them as armor, they should help in every climate as they can change temperature to whatever you need." She spoke. Thankfully, she also had some gloves, socks and shoes to give Diluc which not only completed his look but also saved his fingers and toes from potential frostbite.

"Thanks, where should I change? Would right here do?" Diluc said with an obvious flirt. This was a complete personality shift from in the real world or while fighting. While fighting, emotions will get you killed more times than necessary and in the real world, he's still a child and can't even enjoy pleasures of the flesh just yet.

"I wouldn't mind but I think the other inhabitants would. Go upstairs and to the left, no one will be able to see you." She replied. Diluc never expected her to be so flirty herself, especially since she was so emotionless in the game.

Diluc nodded and followed her instructions, going around a wall and getting dressed. He had half a mind to invite the firekeeper over to watch but he knew that was his lower half gaining control of his brain and instead restrained himself.

He finished clothing himself and again caught the attention of the fire keeper, who seemed to be scanning him. He was starting to question if that blindfold did anything to cover her eyes and if she wasn't blind.

"I have to ask, are you actually blind or are you using the blindfold to be blind? And for what reason?" Diluc asked. He knew that this might be an offensive question to ask but decided he valued answers more than good points with the attractive woman for now.
