“Ahhh… my head…” Eriant sighed, his long ears moved around as he was drowning in utter confusion. “Sister, did you understood a single thing he said?”

“Nope…” Ariant said. “Let’s just assume what Brunhild said…” She whispered to her brother.

“Yeah, yeah, let’s leave the problem to Kireina to solve.” Eriant nodded.

“Yeah.” Ariant nodded back.

Meanwhile, Sol was nodding while his eyes were closed.

“I see! So that’s how it is… I understand everything now.” He said.

He clearly didn’t understand a thing.

Frank looked back at me while raising his eyebrows.

“You’ve got quite the lively party here… Kind of reminds me of my own.” Sighed Frank. “So anyways, where are we heading?”

​ “Straight from here.” I said, right there.”

“The big tower over there- It is filled with Miasma. That’s certainly the breeding ground of something big and strong. The Genie guy, right?” He wondered.

“Yeah.” I said.

“Let me go kill him now.” He said, trying to fly up the skies.

“W-Wait a second!” I quickly stopped him. “If you do something rash again we don’t know what will even happen! Wait and listen, and come with us normally, don’t try to solo everything!” I sighed.

“But he’s pretty weak I can feel his presence here…” Frank said.

“Don’t you remember you’re weakened too?” I sighed.

“…Right.” Frank nodded. “I might have gotten ahead of myself… I’ll go along with you guys then. Though I think that even with my weakened powers…”

“No! Don’t!” I said. “I am not letting you! It is our EXP!”

“Okay, okay!” Frank calmed me down. “And EXP? So this world has a System?”

“No, something different yet similar. Named Soul Books, but yeah people can level up and learn Skills and stuff.” I said.

“Wow, that’s awesome…” Frank said. “This is my first-time landing in a world that has a natural RPG System… I’ve always had my own, but one with its natural one?! Oh! I’ve even got a one myself?! Wait, can’t I merge my System with it? This is weird, both my own System’s status and this Soul Book are separate…”

“They are?” I asked.

“Yeah, it’s pretty strange… Maybe I can grow stronger here by getting the powerup from the Soul Book Status… Would you look at that.” Frank smiled, suddenly he looked like a gamer ready to speed run something.

“So is there any breeding ground of monsters around? I want to test this…” He said with a smile. His appearance was back to normal, a brown-haired green-eyed boy looking around his early twenties. To be honest, he looked like a twink to me…

“Yeah this mountain is filled with monsters. If we go through the sky we might end up skipping it all. Before you were to arrive and end up ruining everything, we were going to continue through here.” I said.

“Yeah, there are Wyverns here and the like, we just slain a swarm of giant Beetles and their Queen.” Said Fiere. “She had your stone and she used it to grow incredibly strong.”

“It was a tough battle.” I sighed.

“I am aware that my Soul Fragments tend to infect beings or people. Across the worlds I’ve visited, I have found many of my soul fragments parasitizing other people, or monsters. It mutates them and grant them cosmic power beyond what they can control, 99% of the time they went insane and did disasters. I had to put a stop to them.” Sighed Frank.

“Damn, that’s… well that’s very fucking tough.” I said. “I think I also got kind of… divided. Chaos is one of those results… I think? Well, I cannot really compare him. But I bet there must be a lot of cases like those for my own Chaos Fragments when I fell from my mother’s realm when she was attacked by the Overseers…”

“Well, it wasn’t your fault I guess… the apocalypse and everything else… It was only a thing because of the Overseers attacking your mother and her having no other ways…” Sighed Frank. “I guess I treated you too harshly by blaming you for everything.”

‘ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n’,

“Nah, it’s fine. I am alright over it. I knew about that for a looong time now.” I sighed. “I got over it but sometimes I think about it. Nonetheless, I guess your issue is more serious in regards of your experiences. I have zero experiences related to my soul fragment sunlike you.”

“Yeah… I guess. I even remember that time when an old enemy of my father was reincarnated in a world I visited. He used my Stones for his own gains and brought several more of his reincarnations from other worlds holding my Soul Fragments, it was a tough battle which I had to deal with… But all my family was there to help me, I was able to defeat such a challenge thanks to their help. Orb, Axitl, Gwendolyn, Cathyl, Vheslia, Clishya…” Sighed Frank, recalling people he seemed to know.

“Who are they?” I wondered.

“Orb was a Living Dungeon, she’s a sweet girl which is a bit of a Tsundere… She’s incredibly strong. Then Axitl is a Goddess of Chaos from this one world I really love Terra. Then there’s Gwendolyn, a fox-kin single mother, Cathyl is a minotaur single mother, and Clishya is the adorable adventurer guild receptionist. And Vheslia was originally a magic teacher, she became someone special over time. We went through a lot together… They’re all my wives.” Frank said with a nod.

“Wives huh, I guess we are kindred spirits.” I nodded.

“You’ve also have multiple partners?” He asked.

“Over thirty.” I said. “Oh I guess I can name them all!”

“Wait, I don’t really need you to do that…” He said.

“Hahaha, I was joking. Though I’ve got myself a lot of rascals and brats too. I want to go back to all of them.” I sighed.

“Huh, wait how did you… had kids with women?” Asked Frank.

“Do you really want to ask that?” I asked. “If you’re from earth and you’ve read hentai, I think you can imagine the rest, right?”

“Oh… Alright.” Frank nodded. “I will not ask about it.”

“Good, let’s not get this awkward.” I said. “And look, what you were looking for.”

“ROOOOARRRR!”

An enormous flock of Wyverns flew around the skies, slowly nearing our party. Dozens of them, and then another flock, and another, and another… There were over five flocks, which made up almost a hundred Wyverns.

“Alright, time to grind.” I said.

“Damn right…” Frank smiled.
