'Are you ready, Ryan?'
I nod my head and see a portal appear in front of me. This is it. It is time for me to return to my world. Zelretch had already returned to his world to take care of something first before joining me back in the DxD world.
I step through the portal and see Yasaka and Asia already waiting for me.
Yasaka smiles and walks toward me. She hugs me, and Asia joins us as well.
"Welcome home, Ryan."
I hug the two of them and say.
"I am back. It has been a long time since I saw you guys."
"How long?"
"A few months."
"Oh, you."
And she hugged me tighter for a few more seconds before releasing me.
"Come on. I already prepared some food for you. Fortunately, your stepmother told me beforehand about your arrival, or you will not have anything to eat for another hour."
I nod and follow the two of them to the dining room, where I can see steaming food ready to be eaten. I sit on the chair with Yasaka and Asia sitting next to me. While we eat, Yasaka looks at me and says,
"Tell me about your adventure, Ryan."
"Of course!"
I tell them about my adventure in Skyrim. I tell them about how I became a dragon hunter and a bane of bandits in Skyrim. I also tell them about how I helped the emperor of Tamriel defeat a group of assassins who want to kill his family members. Lastly, I tell them about how I became a high-ranking noble from the emperor before leaving Skyrim.
"You are really one of a kind, Ryan. Always find trouble everywhere you go."
"I-I don't think you can blame Ryan for that, sister."
"Fufufufu~ You are right, Asia. He might be involved in a lot of trouble; he is not someone who starts one."
Asia nods her head in agreement, and I cannot help but smile at the two of them. They get closer to each other, and it is good to see.
"However, I wonder if you can teach us your healing spell?"
I look at Yasaka and shake my head.
"Sadly, no. The only reason why I can use another world's magic system is because I have a connection to that world. Without my power to give me that connection, I don't think I can use magic from another world."
"What about the Senjutsu? You can teach us the technique without any problems."
"That is because it is a technique with the same base, you know? Magic, on the other hand… Take the magic of this world. Merlin created that using the math of the world. It calculates the rotation of the world and the location of the stars—the same goes for magic from Skyrim. They use stars that might not exist in this world. I will try to teach them, but I don't think it will give any results."
"That is a fair assumption. If it's not working, it is a shame. Healing magic is a rare commodity in this world, after all. Having healing magic will be a valuable thing."
"Fair enough."
I munch some more food before looking at Asia.
"How about you, Asia? How are you?"
"Hmmm? I am doing great, Ryan. Following some of the studies is rather hard, but I had a great time learning!"
I pat her head and watch her smile.
"That's good. If you are doing great, you can go and enter the same college as me!"
Her eyes light up, and I can see fire appear in her eyes.
"Right! I will do my best!"
"Good girl."
We enjoyed the food for the next fifteen minutes and had a pleasant conversation before Yasaka, and Asia dragged me to our bedrooms.
I look at the two of them in confusion and say.
"Yasaka? Asia?"
Yasaka gives me a smile that makes me shudder a little before suddenly her clothes fall down. I look at Asia for clues, but she gives me a shy look and slowly puts away her clothes.
"It must be hard adventuring for months, right? Let the two of us take care of you and enjoy our treatment."
The next thing I knew, the two of them pushed me to the bed and lay next to me. Well, it looks like I will not leave the bedroom for the rest of the day.

|3rd POV|
"Oh, for the love of the void!"
Great Red swears as he glares at the man, who grins from ear to ear. He can already see. He can already see what kind of man is in front of him. He can see the chaotic energy this man releases and all the pranks (most of them are nasty) inside his mind as well.
This man is Zelretch.
"Can you stay back in your world, Bloodsucker?"
"That's rude. I might be a vampire, but I do not suck blood."
"Shut up and answer the questions."
"No can do, good man! This is a chance for me to see a new world and get new experiences."
Great Red grumbles and says.
"Urgh! Fine. You can go. However, while diving into your mind, I notice you talk to the being that reincarnates Ryan into this world."
"Yeah. That is the most frightening experience I have ever had in my long life. That being is the most powerful being I have ever encountered, and I have met a lot of powerful beings across the universe."
"And all of them cannot be compared to that thing, right?"
"Yup."
"Good. It looks like I was not the only one who also thought that. Anyway, do you ask the reason for taking a soul from another world to mine?"
"I don't know much, but he says something about Parasite Gods and their Machine Gods counterparts. I don't know the reason why he needs someone to prevent them from entering this part of reality, but I know that it will cause something bad if he is to make a move."
Great Red nods his head and starts to think of the possibility of the Outer Gods coming to his reality and how to defeat them. However, he stops thinking about it because he knows that he is dead if they manage to come into this world and if they need to ask for the help of a mortal to prevent this from happening. That means he needs to help prevent them from reaching his world instead of thinking of a way to defeat them.
"Can you think of a reason for that being to interfere?"
"There are many theories in my mind, but there is one that is most likely true."
"What is it?"
"The destruction of the pillar of the universe"
"What?"
"This world is the core of the universe. Each universe has a core that cannot be destroyed, or the entire structure of the universe will crumble. This Earth is the core of the universe, and once the Parasite and Machine Gods destroy it, the entire universe will lose its core and crumble into nothingness. That thing might be powerful but cannot easily create a new universe."
And Zelretch knows about it as he watches a creation of the universe from one of his counterparts. Seeing a Godlike being create a universe makes him feel fear for the first time since he gets his power.
Great Red releases another sigh and wonders where everything goes wrong. He only wants to bother Ophis and enjoy humanity's creation!
