Today I woke up to some surprises, after I had talked a lot with the gods yesterday and went to sleep, I had left my Slime Clones distributing Ambrosia Fruits of different attributes to try on their effects with the Chimera Siblings and others.

It seems that the Ambrosia Fruits can boost stats permanently, heal status ailments and regenerate almost any wound, and to top it all, they can increase the levels of magic skills and also give new attributes of magic to the one consuming it.

However, though it is fantastic, it does have a limit, after gaining a certain number of stats, skill levels, and skills, it only regenerates HP, MP, and Stamina.

I have decided on eating a few myself… but nothing happened.

Aside from the delicious sweetness, I did not get anything.

Perhaps due to being produced by me… I do not get anything in return.

So… is it like eating myself or something? Sigh…

Anyways, I also decided to give it to all of my wives and children for breakfast, and see if they get anything.

Vudia and Ailine were degusting the apple-like fruits with their eyes shining brightly in excitement.

"Uwah! The flavor is so delicious, mommy! I love it… Nom, nom" said Vudia, as she munched on two fruits at the same time.

"Ah! Vudia, you are eating two?! I will grab another one then! Hehe" laughed Ailine, as she devoured the apples in her small hands.

"I wonder if it's dangerous to eat too much sugar… Hmm" said Acelina, as she munched on the juicy flesh of the fruits.

"Ah! It's so sweet… to the point that your throat gets dry very fast… but you can't just eat only one!" said Ismena, happily flying around while eating an Ambrosia.

"Guu… Masta, this is an amazing fruit! I wonder what type of pie I could make with them… or jam! And even sweets such as candies and other pastries… or cream! I've got a lot of ideas, guu!" said Rimuru, her mind being filled with insights on how to prepare the delicious Ambrosia fruit.

"Well, they are already very good with yogurt… its sweetness combines incredibly well with the yogurt's sourness. This is really the meal of gods," said Brontes.

"Ah, this purple one tastes incredibly better than the rest… I can even feel some of my magic power raising… Hm? Ami?" asked Nesiphae.

"Nom, nom… Mother, I'm too busy! Nom, nom…" said Amiphossia, as she filled her cheeks with fruits, munching the delicious dew-like juices.

The rest of Amiphossia's party was also devouring the fruits with faces that seemed to be in trance. Their eyes spiraling.

"Hey, Seishin! Stop eating them so fast! Leave some to me! Grawr!" roared Sesshomaru, as she stole some fruits from Seishin, her flawless face seemed enraged, and her nine tails waved hastily.

The two canine giantesses clashed against each other fighting for the fruits, their large chest and hips hitting each other… they had overly erotic bodies, and wearing very tight kimonos did not help.

"Nyaaaaaaaa! Nya, nya!!! Amiphossia-sama, it is so Good! So good! Nyaaaaa!" roared Geraldine, eating the fruits as if her life depended on it.

"Indeed, it is very good… So good…" said Shirohibe, with a wicked smile as she devoured every fruit with her small and delicate mouth.

"I can't believe this! W-What are these things…! I have forgotten about how good was actually eating… now that I have a stomach… T-This! It's too good!" shouted the 'little' Athos as her thick and red-scaled tail waved around hitting the ground in excitement. It seems that she had forgotten about the mundane pleasures of mortals, such as eating delicious things. Now that she has a stomach, she can properly eat these things.

Valentia was transforming her hands into giant the heads of dragons and wyverns, to eat the fruit even faster…

"Hmm! Tasting such sweetness through my three heads is the best!" she said.

"Err… Sister? I think you're going a bit overboard in there… But yeah, they are pretty good. What do you think, Ervin?" said Aarae.

Ervin, formerly a Kelpie centaur who had evolved into a Leviathan Centaur was sitting beside my boy, he was his boyfriend so I allowed him to come for breakfast and other family activities, he behaved well so I never had troubles with him.

"T-This is too good… I-I think I'm dizzy though… ah…"

"It seems that Ervin isn't accustomed to eating too much sugar, Aarae," said Gaby.

"Ah… I think I am not… I've eaten just fish and seaweed since I was born… this sweetness is very… ugh, I'm fine!" muttered Ervin.

"E-Ervin? Are you okay? Drink water! Here" said Aarae, giving his lover a cup of water that he filled himself with 'Water Creation'.

"I never expected that he could be intolerant to sugar?! Or is it because of his species? Well, he'll get used to it" said Ryo.

"The fruit that they offered to me in my past life when I was the Empress of the Desert isn't even compared to this… This is really the food that someone like me deserves" said Nixephine, she was delicately eating the fruit which was sliced into pieces and offered to her by the Arachne maids.

"I suppose I have to agree with you there, Nixephine, this fruit is really a delicacy of the gods… I don't deserve anything else than this" said Nefertiti as she drank some tea while eating sliced pieces of fruit.

"I wonder from which part of Vida where you girls? Is there even a desert in this Realm?" asked Lilith, who was close to them, her scaled and the bulky tail was waving around playfully.

"Ah, well my memories are mostly dizzy… as since I got captured and put inside the Dungeon, I died and reincarnated many times, this seems to have affected my memories. I do remember several things… but they are like fragments, dozens of fragments scattered around. At least my personality has not deteriorated," said Nixephine.

"I-I see... perhaps touching the subject wasn't really a good decision, sorry, Nixephine" apologized Lilith.

"Hm? Why are you apologizing? Do not worry, little Lilith. I have lived for many years as well as… thousands, I think. I have already suffered and come to terms with my own pain and fragmented memories. Now I try to live every day, without having to recall those things so much… But I think I did have a family and a Kingdom, and I was always well served" said Nixephine, with a gentle smile. Her chocolate-colored skin shined in a silvery light.

"I-I see… So you don't remember the exact place?"

"I don't… I just remember that it was an exceptionally large desert, like an ocean of sand. The Biome in Morpheus's Dungeon was similar, it made me felt at home when I was there for some reason. Well, it is not like I don't enjoy being in here with all of you,"

"I see… Hehe, I'm glad that you see me and the rest like that, Nixephine-san" said Lilith.

"Well, putting aside the gloomy scorpion here. I do remember a few things! Most likely because I was not killed and reincarnated like her. But escaped from my boss room… though the deterioration of my body due to the lack of Spirit Energy made several of my memories fade away. But the ones that remain are not fragmented…"

"Y-You desert dog! Who are you calling a scorpion?!" shouted Nixephine.

"Don't interrupt me! Anyway, Lilith, as I was saying… In the Realm of Vida, there are several regions. Due to the border continent being too large and long, each corner of the border continent has different weather and different biomes are born from them… The Scorching Desert of the Realm of Vida is to the south of where we are currently, in the middle of the left side of the border continent" said Nefertiti.

"Uwah… that was very confusing… how do you know so much?" asked Lilith.

"I have analyzed several Maps in the Athetosea library. Kireina-sama has also given me maps that she had done with her Mapping Skill" said Nefertiti.

"Wait… so what is the real form of the border continent…? It has corners?" asked Nixephine.

"Well, it is not completely a block, but it does have mildly defined corners, four to be specific…" said Nefertiti, as she took out a map from her Item Box while sipping in her tea.

"So that's how it is…" muttered Lilith.

"Indeed, we have come out with that conclusion when we inspected the maps in detail, the Realm of Vida does really have corners, at least in the border continent… You could say that the whole realm resembles a giant floating island, with a large pool in the middle that makes the only ocean and two islands in the middle of that ocean that are the central continents, we live at the border of the realm, which is called the 'border continent'" I added.

"I see! Wait, so the Snowy Mountain Wall…"

"Yes, that area completely covers the entire border continent and it seems to have been formed naturally by the continent itself freezing due to the low temperatures of the 'outside', the Astral Road. You could see it as a very strong and natural barrier, it also protects us from outside natural disasters such as meteors" I said, giving Lilith and everyone present that was listening to me a mild smile.

"Wow… mom knows a lot," said Ryo.

"I never expected her to be so well-versed!" said Aarae.

"You're very intelligent, mommy. Why are you not a librarian?" asked Valentia.

"Well, you're half right there, Kireina," said Yiksukesh.

"Yiksukesh? Do you know something? I thought that similarly to Nixephine, your memories were fragmented" I said.

"Well, yes. Aside from my grandfather, everything is quite complicated to remember… but I do remember that the Realm of Vida is more than just a floating island, its size is incredibly wide, and it can fit billions of living beings inside… I used to travel Realms, and the Realm of Vida was always one of the most brilliant and radiant of Realms, it is always overflowing with life"

"I see… but in what am I wrong then? Assuming that it is smaller than it really is?" I asked.

"Well yes, but also the origin of the Snowy Mountain Walls… you're half wrong and half right there… It is a natural formation, but it was molded to become even larger and stronger by the Gods that decided to take this Realm as their homes… Also, the air that we breathe and the sky is a creation of the gods, by using their powers and authorities such as 'Wind', 'Air', or 'Weather', an atmosphere was created" added Yiksukesh.

"I see, that's a lot of important info I didn't know about… I guess I should ask the gods more things like these"

"Don't worry, it is not really such useful information… but perhaps, if we ever have to clash against the gods, you should prioritize not to kill the important ones that are maintaining the atmosphere and strengthening the Snowy Mountain Walls, or everything on it would be sucked away into the Astral Road…" said Yiksukesh.

"Uwah, Yiksukesh-chan, you're so known for being a mortal and such a cute little girl~," said Zehe, hugging the snake girl.

"Zehe, please stop hugging me so tightly… since you evolved that your strength had increased exponentially!" muttered Yiksukesh.

"No~! Yiksukesh-chan deserves hugs and love for being so intelligent!" said Zehe.

What Yiksukesh had talked about was very useful and important information, it may help us understand how Realms truly work and are made.

It seems that they do not just 'exist', but are constantly maintained by the gods inhabiting them.

But haven't they thought about converting the whole realm into a dungeon so the atmosphere can be artificially maintained instead of having to constantly administrate it? Similar to the biomes inside dungeons.

Well, I suppose not all Gods really have authorities or divinities over dungeons, they may not be experts into it as I think.

If I ever manage to combine all of the dungeons in the Realm of Vida, I may try to convert it entirely into a Dungeon, so it would be able to self-sustain itself.

It would also give me a reason to not be merciful with the gods that wish my death and that of my family.

If I ever manage to steal their divinities… I don't know if I would be able to maintain the Realm, it would be a lot of work.

Well, that is for the far future, for now, I must concentrate on my daily life, and enjoy these small moments of peace.

After breakfast, everyone felt stronger than before, but none seemed to have obtained a new magic affinity… this is most likely because a lot have very high magic skills that most likely combine several affinities. This is because they were able to get different attribute spells through eating monsters and sharing my blessing. Then, they fused such spells into their main magic skills.

However, everyone had their magic skills leveled up, and some had them awakened into superior versions. All in all, it was a fruitful event.

I sat down over the Golem Castle rooftop with my family as I glanced at the horizon, it was a nice a hot day, summer seemed to be approaching in this area of the Realm of Vida.

The sun resembled a ripen and plump orange, slowly moving through the sky, which resembled a pool of pure and clear water.

I wondered if the Sun was the one that moved, or it was the Realm. There are many mysteries that I want to find out in this world.

Talking about summer and the sun, I should teach that Skill to anyone that has enough affinity with it.
