Tokyo's Nerima Ward, at his residence.
Lin emerged from the kitchen, carrying two dishes.
He brought the dishes to the dining table.
Various dishes were already on the table, with half of them being Chinese cuisine in addition to local dishes.
He placed the dishes on the table.
Lin then turned and went to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Akashiya Moka lay on the bed, still lost in her dreams.
Her arms and legs were exposed.
Her snowy white skin was slightly flushed.
"Little sleepyhead, time to wake up."
Lin whispered softly in her ear.
"Mmm…"
Akashiya Moka's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, letting out a soft hum from her throat.
"Lin?"
Her eyes held a hint of confusion.
She didn't seem fully awake yet.
"Lin!"
She blinked, her eyes clearing, and a happy smile appeared on Akashiya Moka's face as she sat straight up.
The blanket slipped from her body.
However, Akashiya Moka paid no mind.
She immediately threw her arms open and embraced Lin.
Burying her face in Lin's neck.
Breathing in the scent that calmed her heart.
"Alright, let's eat first."
Lin suppressed the heat in his heart, gently holding Akashiya Moka.
"Eat? Oh, yes."
Akashiya Moka nodded with a smile.
The two separated, and Lin took out one of his bathrobes for her to wear.
Then the two came downstairs to the first floor.
Lin took out a bottle of tomato juice.
"Let's eat!"
Lin and Akashiya Moka sat facing each other, and as the words fell, they began to enjoy their sumptuous dinner.
Midway through the meal.
"Hm?!"
Lin paused slightly, suddenly receiving a notification from the Codex of All Things.
A new entry had lit up.
"What's wrong?"
Akashiya Moka looked at him, a little curious.
Lin summoned the Codex of All Things.
It automatically turned to a new page, revealing the entry.
Nickname: Tohru
Level: Purple
Description: Whose Dragon Maid
Acquired: Exclusive Dust Realm
…
"Tohru…"
Lin narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the illuminated entry.
He didn't rush to claim the reward.
Putting away the Codex of All Things, he looked at Akashiya Moka across from him.
He smiled and said, "I just got a notification that my third retainer should be arriving in the next couple of days."
"Third retainer…"
Akashiya Moka paused at his words.
A flicker of jealousy passed through her heart, but it didn't linger.
Then she remembered something.
She looked at Lin with some curiosity:
"Right, Lin, who is your first retainer?"
Lin: "Her name is Yotsuya Miko, and she possesses spiritual sight."
"Miko is human."
"I've already told her about you, Moka. I'll arrange for you two to meet sometime soon."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Hearing this, Akashiya Moka nodded with a smile.
Then she looked at Lin curiously again: "And the third retainer?"
The first retainer has spiritual sight.
The second is her, a vampire.
The third one probably isn't simple either.
Lin smiled faintly: "Her name is Tohru, and she's a giant dragon."
"Wait, a giant dragon?!"
Akashiya Moka's face was filled with shock, and her small mouth involuntarily opened slightly.
Even Inner Moka was somewhat surprised.
There were also legends of dragons in the Yokai Realm.
Legends say that dragons are a powerful race capable of rivaling deities.
A giant dragon, once it matures, possesses power close to that of deities.
The strongest among them even possess might comparable to, or even surpassing, deities.
However, no yokai had ever seen a dragon.
Dragons only existed in legends.
It is said that dragons disappeared along with the gods a hundred thousand years ago.
There isn't even any evidence to confirm this 'legend'.
Although vampires are among the top races of yokai.
Few can match the power of an ordinary adult giant dragon.
To surpass ordinary dragons, one must awaken the power of a True Ancestor.
Although she possesses True Ancestor bloodline, she has not yet awakened it.
"That's right, a real giant dragon."
Looking at the shocked Akashiya Moka, Lin nodded with a smile:
"When I met Tohru, she was injured, and I saved her. She seemed a bit lost, with nowhere to go."
"So I offered her the suggestion of becoming a retainer, inviting her to come live with us."
This world is full of complexities.
The famous Uncle Ben from myriad worlds once said:
With great power comes great responsibility.
And as someone capable, Lin is willing to do his small part to give these beautiful women a home.
Is there anything wrong with that?
Obviously not.
"I see."
Akashiya Moka suddenly understood.
Then she suddenly thought of something, blinking her large eyes as she asked:
"Lin, how did you know she already agreed?"
"Hmm~" Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling as he said, "Just consider it one of my abilities."
"Oh…"
Akashiya Moka nodded in understanding.
Lin: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat."
Akashiya Moka nodded again.
Fifteen minutes later, dinner ended.
Akashiya Moka transformed into an understanding and gentle wife, telling Lin to rest while she handled the post-dinner dishes.
Lin lightly kissed her forehead.
He then went upstairs to the study, casting a barrier to cover the room.
He opened the Codex of All Things to claim the reward.
The next moment, Lin, with his eyes closed, felt a jolt to his spirit.
Points of light appeared deep within his soul.
The lights flickered, then suddenly shone dazzlingly.
In his ears, a muffled thunder seemed to roar, like the Big Bang itself, and that point of light instantly exploded.
'Worlds' rapidly took shape.
Different from planetary universes.
Instead, it was 'heaven is round, earth is square'.
A massive circular continent instantly formed in the void.
A surge of information surfaced in his mind.
Lin instantly understood the origin of this 'Exclusive Dust Realm'.
It originated from the worldview of Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy.
It was an exclusive ability belonging to the 'High Dragons' within that world, who were called 'Invincible' – a series of independent subspaces.
He removed the barrier covering the study.
With a thought, a peculiar portal appeared before Lin, shimmering with faint colorful starlight and condensed from white mist.
This was the Mist Gate leading to the Dust Realm.
Lin stepped into the Mist Gate.
His vision flickered almost imperceptibly.
The surrounding scenery instantly changed.
This was a barren land, where not a blade of grass grew.
He activated Silver's Sanctuary.
He flew high into the sky, closed his eyes, and let his mental senses spread out.
About a minute later.
Lin slowly opened his eyes.
He now had a good grasp of the size of his Exclusive Dust Realm.
Its area was close to the Earth's land area.
Approximately 150 million square kilometers.
However, this continent was currently devoid of life, not a blade of grass grew.
Nevertheless, some modifications could be made.
Lin closed his eyes, and his soul opened its eyes in his consciousness space.
A tennis-ball sized glass orb appeared before his soul.
This glass orb encased the Dust Realm.
Lin's soul grabbed the glass orb.
He injected his infinite Primal Force into the Exclusive Dust Realm.
The Primal Force transformed into starlight, scattering across the sky.
