After Frank ranked up Orb to Rank 4 and had a small meeting with Aaronarra, he walked back towards the Town, where he and the rest of his group, alongside Clishya, decided to speak up about Frank's plan to let the people of the Acacia town enter his Inner Realm.

​​

Of course, he had already previously made a large area where the entire town could fit, and he had even planned on literally moving the entire town, with the ground and all…

The people knew that the world was changing, and after Gwendolyn and Frank did a speech over the Demon King's awakening and the Abyssal Horrors that would begin to appear everywhere, the only safe place was the highly guarded capital, where only the people with a lot of money could enter.

Although some had questions about if it could be possible to go there, only a few had the money to do so, while most of the other people would be left without anything.

Frank had the power to create things now, although it was very limited, he knew that if he put intent into it… he could even generate gold and easily shower these people with gold coins to go to the capital and fend for themselves.

But even if he were to give gold to people, he didn't know if their security would be guaranteed and if not other Abyssal Horrors could emerge in the capital, as it was a large concentration of mana that these creatures looked for.

However, he was not going to do such a thing, instead, he decided to simply tell them that the option he could offer them was to enter the Divine Realm granted to him by the Gods, Abraddon, and Thineas, where they could live comfortably while the world underwent changes and he and the other Heroes saved it.

…Many people were confused over such a thing, but also, all of them knew his amazing abilities, how he was able to defeat the Abyssal Horror who's power could compare to a Rank 5 Magus, and how he revived people and completely rebuilt the entire town…

It could be said that Frank was nothing far from a God to them at this point, rather than a Hero.

Also, Frank wanted to experiment if he could receive these people's worship and faith, just as his father had once told him, as he could acquire a new source of energy which his System could convert into App Points or other types of power.

Indeed, he was acting quite selfish as well, perhaps even a bit manipulative, but he did not care much, and it was not as if he were not giving all these people an amazing shelter to stay, where he would provide them with food, materials, and many things from the outside world as a daily basis.

And it was not as if he would not let them go outside either if they desired… However, it was better if they could stay inside the Inner Realm most of the time.

The news about the Rank 4 Dungeon also came to these people, but even then, although most seemed willing, they wanted a few days to prepare.

Frank decided to accept their preparation time without much worry, however, they would still have to hurry up.

"I guess it is fine to wait, we also have to wait for Adrian the Guild Master to come back! Oh, right, and Vheslia too!" said Clishya.

"Yeah, no need to rush things too much, how about we go back home, and I cook everyone a nice dinner?" asked Gwendolyn with a gentle smile.

"Sounds good, let's go," said Frank.

After reaching Yurei, the group was surprised by how much it had changed!

Not only it created new rooms, but its entire model changed, now it was at least twice the size than before, and seemed like an immense house.

However, it still did not look completely like a manor, and it still had that cabin feeling that the original house design had.

Gwendolyn seemed rather amazed, as Yurei was technically her house, the one she paid a lot to get and the territory too, seeing it be rebuilt and made even prettier was like a big dream for her after the house grew so old.

"Frank this is… amazing!" said Gwendolyn.

"Guuuooon…"

Yurei groaned, as she opened her door and let everyone inside.

As they got inside, they realized that the entire inside structure had been rebuilt as well, everything seemed anew, and even the furniture was remade!

"Damn, Yurei really went all out…" said Frank, even he was being surprised.

"She seems to have been very willing to make us happy, she must like our company," said Kamei.

Yurei groaned happily after hearing Kamei. Indeed, she was like a part of the family too.

After exploring the new house which had three new rooms, the party finally went downstairs as Gwendolyn began to cook dinner for everyone in the new and larger kitchen.

Clishya was also quite surprised, although she already knew about Yurei, and began to wonder if every day with Frank was always just filled with fantasy and wonders such as these.

The food of tonight's dinner was the meat of monsters harvested from the dungeon, which included delicious steamed giant scorpion claws with tender white meat inside, giant reptile fillets, which was delicious red meat with a nice amount of grease to give it flavor, mandragora salad, and more…

Without much to say, the entire party began to dig in happily, as the environment of the house seemed lively, creating an atmosphere of carefreeness and cheerfulness.

"Vheslia called me, and she told me that she got delayed due to the capita's security, the tremors made the aristocrats panic, so they ended up locking the people inside the large city's walls. However, she managed to get a pass to come out tomorrow… Thankfully," said Gwendolyn.

"I see, I wonder how much she grew through the time I was dozing off," wondered Frank.

After the party finished eating, Clishya decided to go back to her rebuilt home, saying her goodnight to everyone.

"See you tomorrow, everyone," said Clishya politely, as she walked away through the road back to town.

And after a few minutes, everyone went to take a shower and to bed, as they had decided to rest, this day seemed quite long for them.

Frank walked inside his room, or well, Gwendolyn's room, which has now become his as well, as he found her sitting in bed while reading a book.

This was the first time he was actually going to sleep with her in such a manner, and he could not help but find her very beautiful even when she seemed tired.

Frank sat down at her side as he started to caress her shoulder.

There was an awkward silence before both of them exploded into passion, kissing each other as Gwendolyn threw the book away and immediately broke apart Frank's shirt.

"I see that you were waiting for tonight too?" asked Frank rather teasingly, as Gwendolyn began to lick his abdominals.

"Yes… I cannot lie to you anymore… Make me yours tonight as well, alright?" asked Gwendolyn as she began to wave her fluffy fox tail around, licking Frank's body as she moved away from his pants and finding the beast she was looking forward to the most…

Tonight was going to be filled with just as much passion as last night, it seemed.

Frank made sure to create a sound-proof barrier around their room, as both of them went all out, Gwendolyn's moans being louder than last night even, as Frank had become even more intense than before, their mating lasting for hours and hours until Gwendolyn fell asleep, defeated, and satiated…

Frank slowly caressed her hair as he covered her in the bedsheets, letting her sleep peacefully.

"It's time…" he thought, as he quickly closed his eyes at the side of Gwendolyn, and delved into his Inner Realm.

There, he found his soul connection with Aaronarra, which he grabbed tightly with his soul's arms.

"Now… It should be something like this if I do the same thing they did before I went to sleep… And just as father told me…" thought Frank, as he found his soul connection with Axitl, Abraddon, and Thineas immediately after, which came from their Divine Protection. Meanwhile, his connection with Aaronarra came from the dragon's Dragon Orb that fused with his soul.

"Oh? Axitl's… was she trying to bring me to her Divine Realm? Hm, I suppose she wants to apologize, right? She kind of did a ton of bad stuff… I suppose I can go there first, hang on for a bit in here, Aaronarra," said Frank.

Aaronarra suddenly felt like something was dragging his consciousness away as he slept, having an out-of-body experience.

"Eh? What is this place?" asked Aaronarra's consciousness as he was left inside of Frank's Inner Realm for a bit.

Flash.

Axitl was currently assessing the avatar she was creating until she suddenly felt a disturbance in her Divine Realm, and the figure of Frank emerged out of thin air!

"E-Eh?! F-Frank?!" asked Axitl, falling to the ground as she quickly hid the glass capsule that had her avatar inside…

"Yes, who else? I noticed that you were calling me, so I came. What do you want? I hope that you want to apologize for what you did back then," said Frank, with a serious tone of voice and rather calm anger…

Aztraloth appeared at the side of Axitl, noticing Frank, who was completely different than how he remembered him!

In fact, Frank's entire presence had changed, he felt more domineering and stronger… he was no longer the naïve young man she remembered.

"T-That's… Yeah… I… I should really apologize…" sighed Axitl.
