The door of elevator opened. Dia saw the hallway, leading to the door to the penthouse. She followed the path and stopped in front of the door. She saw a card reader at the door, then touched her keycard on it.
'Click' the door became unlocked.
Dia turned the handle and opened the door. She was surprised with the design inside the penthouse.
The penthouse has 2 floors, which were decorated in modern luxury interior design. The harmonious decoration of white, dark oak brown, and gold. The living area next to the front door, which was constructed in high ceiling, 8 meters high, as the combination of 2 floors. The low-slung chandeliers hung at the center of living area, making the room look more luxurious. The lower floor was occupied with kitchen area, working room, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The upper floor was occupied the with master bedroom, closet room, and master bathroom for the whole, remaining area.
All the furniture inside the penthouse were placed neatly. Everything was clean and tidy as the regular cleaning.
Dia walked to sit on the sofa. She took everything out from 'Magic Space', thinking that she has never done trivial things on her own before, not even when she was Daiki.
She started to learn everything from Dia's memories and the information from the internet.

Dia started to be familiar with her new body, new life, and new era after she did everything on her own.
She learned that time passed for 3,000 years after she died as the life of Ignacia.
People used things like technologies, natural energies, not magic stones like the past.
Dia did not like to do trivial things on her own. She searched the information about mansions on the internet. She wanted to hire servants to do housework and other things for her like the past.

The next day,
Dia, who was wearing navy blue trouser suit, sunglasses, and brown leather ankle boots, walked into the sales office, one of real estate agent companies.
"What can I do for you, Miss?" a real estate agent asked.
"I want a mansion with high privacy. I don't like noise," Dia said.
"There are 3 mansions which match to your requirement. I will show you the details first," a real estate agent said and opened the tablet to show her the list of mansions, then explained, "This mansion is set in 20 acres of land in the old city of Medietas State. This location is lined with mansion where the rich live. So, you don't have to worry about the noise."
"There are too many residents. I want more secluded place," Dia said.
"If so, there is one enormous mansion which is set in 100 acres of the outskirts of Medietas State. But…there is some problem," a real estate agent said, reluctantly.
"What kind of problem?" Dia asked.
"The mansion is said to be haunted. The owner has never set foot in it. They inherited this mansion for generations. They want to sell it in very cheap price but there is no one interest in it," a real estate agent said, reluctantly.
"Do you have the pictures?" Dia asked.
"Yes, but I have only exterior pictures," a real estate agent said, while finding the pictures of mansion, then showed it to her, "There are a few pictures."
Dia saw the enormous mansion, the Gothic building in 'Britain's Battle of The Styles' on the large land. She likes it, then asked, "How much they can give the discount?"
"They set the special price at 50 million m-dollars. Normally, this size of estate must be a billion dollars," a real estate agent said.
"I will buy it at 20 million m-dollars. If the owner wanted to sell, just call me this number," Dia said and wrote her phone number on notepad.
"Would you please wait for a moment? I will call the owner right away," a real estate agent said, eagerly.
"All right. I will wait for the answer," Dia said.
A real estate agent hurriedly went to another room.
After a short while, a real estate agent came back, then happily said, "They are willing to sell at that price. Could you please pay the deposit 10 percent of the price now, Miss? You can pay the rest when we made an appointment to transfer the ownership on the deed."
"All right," Dia said.
"I will process the document right away. Would you please give me your ID card, Miss?" a real estate agent said, smilingly.
Dia handed ID card to him.
A real estate agent printed buy-and-sell agreements and handed the documents to her.
"Please read all the details and sign here and here. We both will keep our buy-and-sell agreements as the proof," a real estate agent said, smilingly.
Dia read the document and signed her name on it, then handed him infinite black card to him.
A real estate agent was surprised after he saw her card. It was a card that the royal family, and 5 wealthy families in Mirarus Empire were using but he could not see her surname was matching with any of them. He hurriedly handled the payment and returned the card to her.
"This is your buy-and-sell agreement. We will appoint the date of transferring the ownership around next week. I will call you as this phone number, Miss Dia" a real estate agent said, smilingly. He handed a buy-and-sell agreement to her.
"All right," Dia said and left.
Afterward, she went to hair salon to cut her hair to be shoulder-length hair. It would be more convenient for her to do the mission in the future.

2 weeks passed,
Dia rode superbike to the mansion after she officially owned the land and the mansion.
The condition of the mansion looked more haunted when compared to the pictures on the tablet.
Dia walked inside the mansion. She saw nothing but the dust and cobwebs covered all over. Some parts of the wooden floor were broken. There was nothing can use inside. She used 'The Eye of Truth' to look for the cause of rumors about ghost.
She sensed the familiar power from the area nearby. She walked direct to that way until she reached to the hall. She saw a coffin at the center of the hall, then walked toward it.
A coffin vibrated itself when Dia was walking closer.
Dia felt familiar with its energy when she went closer. Her heart was beating hard as if she was doing the excited activity.
Suddenly, the cover of the coffin opened. There was a woman sat up, looking at her. A beautiful, sexy vampire like female model, who has long black hair, red eyes, red lips, and bright, healthy skins.
"Valentina?" Dia asked. She sensed the power of Valentina from her but she looks younger, like a woman in her early twenties.
Valentina teleported and appeared in front of Dia. She looked at her closely, then bit sucking blood on her neck as she was extremely thirsty in very long time.
"Take it easy, Valentina" said Dia calmly.
Valentina was sucking her blood nonstop without listen.
Dia tried to activate 'Familia' to make her heart throb.
"Argh…Master!" said Valentina sulkily.
"I would die if you did not stop," Dia said and healed her wound.
"You look sexier, Master" said Valentina attractively.
"Why did you end up here?" Dia asked.
"Ah, this mansion is my secret base. And I fell into a long slumber once in a while," Valentina said.
"So, you are the cause of the ghost rumor. I just bought this mansion," Dia said.
"Oh, I need to protect my body while I was in the slumber's period. I enchanted the illusion magic to drive people away," Valentina said.
"I see. You look…younger," Dia said.
"Hmm…Do you like it?" Valentina asked, attractively.
Dia admitted to herself that she likes her present appearance but she did not want to tell her, then changed the subject, "I need to renovate the whole mansion,"
"Ah…you don't need to do so," Valentina said and used her power to turn every part in the mansion back to the original state as if she turned back time.
"Is this your power?" Dia asked.
"Yes, but I can do it with things and natural resources not human and animal lives," said Valentina nicely.
"So, we need to install the utility system and buy more furniture. Anyway, I want to build something more. There are many empty areas,"
"What are you talking about, Master?" Valentina asked.
"How long did you slumber?" Dia asked.
"I don't know. Normally, a thousand year at least," Valentina asked.
"To sum up by saying that 3,000 years past after I died," Dia said.
"Oh, I sensed that you died and I got the sign of long slumber a few days later. It might be the effect of your power, Master" said Valentina surprisingly.
"How old are you?" Dia asked, curiously.
"It's rude to ask about the age, Master" said Valentina sulkily.
"Anyway, you need to move out after I hired the people to make construction and interior decoration," Dia said.
