Ding!
[Your bat Units [Corpse-Eating Crimsoles] have devoured dozens of corpses!]
[By activating their Special Ability [Corpse-Eating Spawn], their numbers have multiplied rapidly, reag a staggering number of fifty!]
[Having more than this is not currently reended, as you ck the Barraecessary to store these units. Additionally, their hunger will require eating more corpses.]
“F-Fifty… in such a short time?!”
Vd g the se in front of him; there were now fifty huge, crimson-colored is, which were all below his and.
Above all, Ia’s presence made them several times stronger now; this army could truly help him quer aerritory on their own now.
“I’ll have to inform Vd’s mother about these bugs and Ia…” Paul thought. “Ia, they wait until the battle to feed? Do they need a lot of food?”
“A meal a week is enough for them to remain quite healthy,” Ia said. “We also feed on blood energy too, which your territory is already produg if we were to feel extremely hungry, don’t worry.”
“That’s a relief,” nodded Paul. “Then where should I leave them now? Hmm… I need more resources to build a barrack.”
“Are you having issues with the produ of resources, master?” Ia wondered. “How did you even summoh no resources at all?”
“Using this special marble,” Paul showed Ia. “It allows me to summon Heroes, although I could only use one for now… There were also other items that allowed me to create buildings right away.”
“Oh my, so that’s it! So ve… I remember my previous master had to start from nothing; you’re quite privileged…” she giggled.
“It wasn’t like I was hahese rewards easily; they’re hard earned from battles where I almost died… Some of such battles also killed a lot of people iy, almost killed Teressa, and… well, it wasn’t easy to get,” said Vd.
“Hmm, I uand, so you had to simply gh different challenges,” she nodded. “I see… Then how about you use more of those rewards? Do you happen to have more access to this shop where you got them?”
“Yeah… Let’s see,” Paul nodded.
Vd had pleted the Raid and had gained a lot of Raid Points from the ret Raid; he had only spent the points from the previous Raid of the Unending Crimson.

“Ooh, there’s a lot of things here!” Ia g the shop window. “Very iing stuff! And you have quite a lot of points, so you could afford a lot... Maybe buying more of the Facility Creation Marbles could be a good idea.”
“Hmm, it's still a Gacha though, but for now, I would probably buy the resource bags,” said Paul. “I’ll buy at least a couple of them. But not now; I’ve decided to log out for the rest of the day, Ia; I’m exhausted.”
“Ah, pity!” Ia sighed. “Well, let me carry you to your room at least.”
“Carry me?!”
Paul was carried against his will by the ioid woman, nding over the rooftop and theering the manor through the open window.
His mother had already woken up, luckily, although Camil was still sleeping.
“Ah, there you are… Did I fall unscious, son?”
“Yeah, a lot happened, so let me expin.”
Vd expihings to his mother as best as he could, all while she was gring at the strange “familiar” her son had summoned out of nowhere.
“I-I see… So she’s a “Hero” of our Territory?!” she wondered. “How strange… an i person, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of your kind before, Ia.”
“Yes, I’m well aware that Intelligent Ioids might be almost pletely extinct by this era, unfortunately,” Ia nodded. “Well, it doesn’t really matter, so don’t worry about it. As the mother of my master and the owner of this territory, I also pledge my allegiand loyalty to you.”
“Yeah, while I’m away, my mother will and you, Ia. So obey her, always,” nodded Vd.
“I shall!” Ia didn’t have problems with it.
“Alright…” Teressa drank some blood as if it were wine while rexing, sitting over a bck colored sofa in the living room. “Well, that is that then. We discuss more about everything tomorrow, alright? You should go rest now, son. You’ve done enough for today.”
“I will, thanks,” Vd quickly walked upstairs.
As he ran back to his room, he could hear Ia and Teressa chatting a lot. Vd’s mother was very ied about the past of Obscuritas as well as the Ioids, so Ia opped yapping; she loved talking.
“They’ll get along pretty well…”
Once back to his room, Vd sighed in relief. There were still a million things he o do, but nature was calling; he really had to go to the bathroom.
“Okay, okay, log out!”
FLASH!
Once he logged out, the VR capsule inside his room opened, and he jumped out of it, running to his bathroom immediately after.
“Haahh… Man, I almost didn’t make it.” He sighed. "I might as well take a shower too.”
After taking a warm and quick shower, Paul heard his mother ing earlier today, and she even brought something to eat.
“Paul! Mama’s home! I brought ese food! Did you have dinner yet?”
“Ah! No, not yet; wele back.”
Running to greet his mom, Paul hugged her while she pced the food over the table.
“So how was today’s college?” his mother wondered.
“Eh, same as always, I guess it’ll be this way for the rest of the year anyways…” Paul shrugged.
pared to what goes on inside of Fantasy Story Online, real life retty dull and b…
Well, except for one sihing that has made his life happier.
“Really? e on, don’t be like that…” His mother said. “Haven’t you made a friend at least?”
“Ah, yeah…” Paul nodded, blushing a bit. “A friend…”
"Well, at least you’ve made one!” giggled his mother. “What about yh school friends, though? I thought you were going to meet one day?”
“Still looking into that,” said Paul. “But like me, they’re busy on their own things after all… And I don’t really want to force them to meet up with me just because of that.”
“But you’re friends! e on, just call them! Should I call their moms instead? We used to be acquitted too,” his mother said.
“I appreciate your help, mom. I know you wao socialize a lot and all, but I’m fine, really,” said Paul. “Chris is a good friend, and maybe I’ll make a few more… I mean, I’ve met a lot of people in the VR game I’m pying. I might probably one day meet some IRL… one day.”
Although most of these friends were NPCS, so they didn’t really t.
However, there might be some IRL people, pyers, that he could meet one day.
Although disclosing his personal life wasn’t in his pns, even less with his ever-rising popurity.
“Eeeh? Online friends? I don’t know, son, those sound kind of me…” His mom gred at him with a bored expression on her face.
“Haha, let’s just enjoy the food…” Paul shrugged. “I’m doing fine.”
.
.

The day had already arrived, and Paul was already ba college.
Yesterday he had done quite the lewd things with Chris ihe bathroom, but today he inteo not do any of such things.
What happened back then was a thing that just happened in the moment, but… He would rather not do it ever again in a public bathroom.
Chris, however, as always, oking fun at him while he was trying to trate in Arithmetic csses.
“Hey Paul, so you got yourself a bug waifu now? Maybe you’ll stop being a virgin with Ia.”
“S-Shut up, what are you talking about?!”
“Hahaha! But it is like a dream e true to summon a beautiful woman that is below your and, no?”
“T-That’s…”
Paul waue, but he had indeed dreamed of such things many times through the several self-i Isekai novels he had read.
“See? I gotcha! You’re that type of guy, eh?”
Chris smiled teasingly as he giggled at Paul; it was as if this little gremlin could read his mind or something!
“It’s not that… I never even sidered it…” Paul muttered. "Also, I got you, so why would I ever want that…”
“Oh?” Chris was the oo blush a bit. “Hmm~ Is that so? Phew! What a relief that you prefer me over some waifu…”
“Ia isn’t even a waifu though!” said Paul, facepalming. “She holy scares me a little… she’s creepy. You were right. She showed me something disgusting after you went away.”
“Really? What happened? Oh don’t tell me she-”
"No, it’s nothing perverted you’re thinking about…!”
“Hahah! I didn’t say anything, though. It’s all in your mind, Paul~”
Chris poked Paul’s forehead.
If they weren’t in the right now, Paul would quickly grab him and push him down and kiss him, probably.
“Ugh, the whole Territory thing is going to keep me busy for a little while,” he said while trying to ignore Chris’ teasing.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything else,” smiled Chris.
“Everything else? Are you going to hunt dow criminal group left iy or something?” Paul asked.
“Yeah, leave it to me! I’ve growy strong,” he nodded. “Hmm… and maybe let me borrow Ia or her little bugs.”
“No way I’m letting you do it alone; you’ll probably screw it up in some way,” said Paul.
“Eh?! You’re so mean, I wouldn’t do that! I’m better than you at pying that game!” said Chris, crossing his arms. “Don’t you remember the dozens of times I’ve saved your sorry ass? Show more respect to the GOAT.”
“The GOAT?!” Paul couldn’t help but ugh. “Hahah, okay, fine, whatever, I’m still going with you. I also want to take care of them. Ohey’re dealt with, the city will be finally freed from trash.”
“Hmm, I was also thinking of... visiting Argentia’s homend,” said Chris.
“Homend? A s?” wondered Paul.
"Yeah, he said that a lot of Venons once lived there,” nodded Chris. “But ohey all died and he was the only o, their bodies, which had been buried, began to rise as huge Undead. And some other dangerous monsters appeared. It could be a good pce to find good materials and so on. Also, what if you eat an undead Dragon? Maybe you get an OP Skill.”
“I hadn’t thought about it, but yeah,” nodded Paul. “We could even make that undesirable s into aension of the territory, an outpost to watch further into the nds farther away.”
“Ooh, good idea!” said Chris. “See? I’m kind of bored of being stu that city all the time, so stretg s and going on a little adventure doesn’t sound so bad!”
“We should also go find the Dark Spirit Monsters we pnned you to tame inally; I am still w if they’re better than the grape you have,” said Paul.
“True, true, let’s do that too,” nodded Chris. "Okay, we got a huge to-do list now, eh?”
“Yeah and—Ugh, let’s talk about this ter though; the teacher is staring at me…” Paul sighed.
Chris acted as if he wasn’t even talking and looked elsewhere.
The teacher then nodded and tinued her csses…
Somehow, Paul was always the one reprimanded.
