Time passed as I waited for Holactie to be able to do the final repair of the dimensional barrier.

During that time, the number of fissures did temporarily increase. There was even a week that had four fissures. Luckily they were more than easy to solve.

 

HomeBase had become more populated, since I’d picked people from the Kingdom of Wood to train there. I needed new security forces and training them myself was the best. I can’t keep hiring outside help forever.

So to quickly pad the numbers, I took in more than a 100 students. Which is a lot, but we’ve handled groups of over 50 dhampirs before, so 100 shouldn’t be impossible.

 

Lua had also begun to show signs of her pregnancy. Yes, I already did it and no you don’t get the details. It is private time. Of course we both knew it was a success on the day after the deed, so it was no surprise. 

But now Lua was having bouts of minor morning sickness. I drained blood from myself and placed it into Storage daily, just so Lua would have it available when she wakes up, as it, according to her, really helps.

And one morning, when I was returning from dealing with an early morning fissure, Lua told me that today was the day. I was confused at first because there is no way her child will be born today, but that wasn’t what she was referring to.

Today was the day Lua’s dream had been about. While some details were different, like the fact that I had flown in while riding on Janina, it had otherwise been a match to her dreams.

 

Ria also had something interesting happen. Her two year slave contract came to an end and she was now fully free. No she didn’t move out of HomeBase or anything. Honestly speaking, nothing really changed.

She and Agunan got married a little later. It was a big celebration on the Dragon’s coast, with Janina and I hosting. Some dhampirs were invited, but honestly Ria doesn’t have all that many acquaintances she wanted to invite.

Don’t know how soon the two of them plan to have a kid, but honestly, I don’t even know how it will work out. Will Ria lay an egg? She probably can with her Draconic skills, but she might also just give live birth.

But she at least promised that she wouldn’t hurry, since Lua had such a demand for being first.

 

Alice and Unika had become basically enforcers. They would deal with problems in cities that usual guards couldn’t. There weren't a lot of things that required them, but there they did sometimes have to go out. And sometimes they also helped with fissure monsters.

They did also help in other tasks. Unika sometimes worked with Cailie to assist in crop growth, but that will actually be more important during the winter. Alice on the other hand helped with construction by clearing space and reinforcing the ground.

 

Speaking of, Wilma. She and I put in a lot of work making the cities better. 

We moved buildings and neighborhoods to make the layouts better. Of course we also made new buildings, including public facilities like bathhouses and libraries. We’ll eventually make schools, but we have to first train the staff to run said schools. Yes there are a few schools, but nothing that can teach everyone.

We also laid mana circuits that ran across cities. That way we can introduce simple magic devices that can feed off of that mana. Basically we ran electrical lines, except for mana. The circuits also draw magic circles under the cities that can make city wide defensive barriers in case of a monster attack. I basically copied what the Great Sage Arcadia did in the Hero’s country for that, just slightly more advanced.

We also made waterlines while at it, making sure that every building had running water. Inside cities. Smaller towns will still have to use wells and stuff. And yes, we made more modern toilets, but they are a bit different than what you might see on Earth, as they use Purification, a Holy Magic spell, to purify the stuff before flushing. Then that water gets treated later before being re-introduced into the water supply.

 

I already mentioned Cailie, but she had been instrumental for ensuring a steady and affordable food for my new country. As well as the neighbouring countries that separated from the Kingdom of Wood when it was founded. 

I was not holding anything against those countries. Of course they wanted their independence. So I was more than willing to help them get back on their feet, as long as they eventually pay that back. Interest free though, as I don’t want to take advantage of them. 

 

Now since I listed everyone, you might think Janina is doing something cool. … no, not really. She is just being herself. Though she is quite protective of Lua. She definitely has the biggest baby fever after the dhampir.

Since I skipped ahead quite a bit, it does mean I’ve gotten new sets, and new cards.

No, I won’t cover all of them. The fissures are about to end anyway.

 

But I can quickly mention the sets I’ve gotten.

For the first fissure you don’t know about, I got two things. Legendary Collection Kaiba; and Star Pack VRAINS. The collection is a promo trades while the Star Pack is a reprint set.

 

It is rare for me to get reprint sets as fissure rewards, but it does sometimes happen.

 

For actual main sets, I’ve acquired Flames of Destruction; Spirit Warriors; Dark Saviors; Battles of Legend: Relentless Revenge, though that is like 60% reprints; Cybernetic Horizon; Shadows in Valhalla; Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss; Soul Fusion; Hidden Summoners; Legendary Duelists: Sisters of the Rose.

 

Of course plenty of these sets have some great cards. But as I said, I’m not covering them all. There are over 700 of them. We’d be here forever. ... and that isn't even all the new cards I got, because yes, there is more.

I also planted more flower beds. Mainly the ones I promised the Empire, but also a few in the autonomous regions of my Kingdom.

I did the last planned 35 in the Empire, so I added 5 more in the Kingdom of Wood to get to 40, and thus 4 more rewards.

 

Now like previously, I’ll just mention the sets I got. No point in going over every card.

This will still be a decent list.

 

First reward. Astral Pack Eight; Master of Pendulum Structure Deck; Demo Deck 2016; Emperor of Darkness Structure Deck; Premium Gold: Infinite Gold; OTS Tournament Pack 1.

 

Second reward. Millennium Pack; Starter Deck: Yuya; Rise of the True Dragons Structure Deck; OTS Tournament Pack 2; 2016 Mega-Tins; 2016 Mega-Tin Mega Pack

 

Third reward. Duelist Pack: Rivals of the Pharaoh; Structure Deck: Seto Kaiba; Structure Deck: Yugi Muto; OTS Tournament Pack 3; Pendulum Domination Structure Deck; Star Pack Battle Royal

 

And the fourth and final one. Duelist Saga; OTS Tournament Pack 4; Machine Reactor Structure Deck; Dinosmasher's Fury Structure Deck; Duelist Pack: Dimensional Guardians; Battles of Legend: Light's Revenge

With all the Link monsters from the main sets, I have over 100 Link monsters, so I fully completed the Link challenge. That got me even more Link monsters, including some quite powerful ones. But again, not covering those since it doesn’t matter. I’m more powerful than any of my monsters, except Super Gods like Holactie, Armityle, Emptiness, Frigg and so on.

 

For Rituals though… even with the new ones I got from the sets, and the reward ones, I only got to 94 in total. So I’m still missing 6 (-1 because of the 95 reward) from completing the challenge. Someone really hates Ritual monsters since there aren’t that many of them.

 

But yeah. That does sadly leave the Ritual Challenge not fully completed, but what can I do? Maybe I’ll come back later and cover the last monsters I need for it, if I ever get them now that I’m about to end fissures forever.

 

But there is one last thing I got. Well, gained access to. And that is new abilities on the Numeron Code. I got to exactly 100 Number monsters with a different Number, which meant that I unlocked the Number Creation, so I can create new Numbers as I wish. But more than that, Number monsters with the same Number but different original names count towards the total amount of Number monsters for the Numeron Code. 

Which means my total actually rose to 111. So I also gained access to Reality Manipulation. 

… it is exactly what it sounds like. Anything I want to do, I can do. Basically. There are limits, mainly with being ‘only’ able to affect an area I can see. But if I use it with All-Sight and Thought Acceleration, what I see can be the entire planet. 

So while it is still extremely difficult, I can do planetary level reality manipulation.

Yes Holactie tried to talk me into fixing the dimensional barrier, since I can now do it, but I refused again. But I did learn how to use my new abilities from the Numeron Dragon, because of course I did. I’m not going to leave a tool unusable just because I don’t plan on using it.

… Admittedly it is really useful for cleaning up after fissures. And just making buildings out of nothing … and many other things. But I won’t use it too much.

Last, I guess I’ll mention that Lua’s birthday did pass by. Yes we celebrated, as we always do. Sadly it was also a day that a fissure appeared, so it wasn’t quite as perfect as you hope. 

Luckily I can just make copies of myself, so I left a copy to celebrate while I dealt with the fissure.

 

And my nation is doing quite fine. We’ve gotten public order back under control, mostly. There are still situations where someone thinks they are more powerful than they actually are, but those are few and far between now. They’ve heard how easily my people can stop criminals.

 

But yeah. Tomorrow Holactie will permanently repair the dimensional barrier, and I think that is where I’ll end my notes. Maybe I’ll come back from time to time and write some more, but these are the notes of me being a Yugioh Card Summoner in a different world, and as sad as it is, I’ve mostly grown past the need for my cards. 

So I’ll go back to being a Yugioh Card Collector in a different world. Not nearly as fun sounding. But honestly, I'll enjoy it more.
