A Cliché Multiverse Story

The dungeon's expedition was nothing special. The wyverns were prevalent throughout the dungeon, so was their XP. After the 80th floor, the cold floors gradually became humid and the number of wyverns thinned. The party encountered a new type of monster on the 81st floor—a giant purple blob bouncing from a wall to another.

Asahi stared at the mob that seemed more appropriate for the 1st floor rather than the 81st floor. "What the heck? A slime at this stage?"

Saeko slashed the slime with her sword. Rather than getting sliced in half, the slime bounced back. It absorbed Saeko's nearly 200 points of strength without a hitch. Of course, it wasn't a normal slime. The lightning element filled every part of its jiggly body. It also had extreme resistance to physical attacks.

Saeko enveloped her katana in the water element and performed a horizontal slash. The slime crashed into the wall and became two equally big slimes.

"This fucker splits up when it takes damage. How many times can it divide itself?"

"It's better to test." Saeko grinned like a maniac as she closed the distance and executed lightning-fast slashes. The slimes shrank into pebble-sized pieces, eventually succumbing to Saeko's rapid strikes.

—You earned 6700 XP from killing [Level 30 Electrocharged Slime.]

Well, it gave almost double the XP of the Goliath boss. XP ranked third on Asahi's most liked things in the world after women and sex.

Asahi grabbed a slime with his bare hands. Being a High Human, his resistance to all the elements was sky-high. As such, the slime's current merely tickled him. Stretching the slime was a relaxing exercise. He channeled the fire element through his finger and ripped it apart.

"No regeneration like this. Interesting…"

He made quick work of the slimes on the floor and advanced through the dungeon. He and Saeko tried some of the most unique ways to end a slime's life. Some of them included suffocating the slime in a makeshift river, blowing it up with a water sledgehammer, or letting Asmodeus' black shark chomp it down. Some of his skilled advanced ranks throughout the run. Telekinesis reached A-Rank, making the skill significantly less taxing as well as increasing its weight limit. Multithreaded Processing reached B-Rank, another step closer to the A-Rank required to fuse it with the 'Instincts' skill. He was still 50 points away from 350 dexterity required for the fusion.

He called it quits on the 89th floor after he reached Level 49. As much as he loved to grind to Level 50, he had to bring Yuriko out on a promised date.

Asahi teleported to Yuriko's place. She was there, tending to customers with Shizuka and Rika. She glanced in his direction with a smile before continuing her duties as the manager of the shop. Shizuka, on the other hand, left her customer to Rika. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Shizuka was all smiles as she approached Asahi while fixing her skirt. "Aa-kun, here to meet me?"

"Well, yes and no. I was here to pick up Yuriko for some fun."

Shizuka glanced at Yuriko. "She won't go until the shop opens. I mean, you should know she is a sucker for bringing her business above and beyond. She will be one happy woman after closing the shop and checking today's revenue."

Yuriko's passion hadn't jaded after managing the Takagi Family business for years. Rather, she became more obsessed with the thing that kept her going, Saya and her business.

Asahi took Shizuka's hand and pulled her into the manager's room. "Shall we go somewhere, Nee-san?"

"I'm all for that, Aa-kun. But where exactly are you taking me?"

"To Heaven."

Asahi teleported to his second father-in-law, the God of Christianity. The old man was just sitting in his room without his usual gadgets. Shizuka had heard of the Biblical God through Klyscha. But nobody told her that God looked like a friendly grandpa.

"H-Hello, I'm Shizuka… Aa-kun's lover."

"You brought another wife?" God asked as he observed Shizuka intently. "She has the Holy Element and the same light as you… strange. Is she your relative by any chance?"

"She is my blood sibling."

His nonchalant answer left the old man with wide eyes. Shizuka blushed, squirming uncomfortably at Asahi's introduction.

"What are you surprised about?" Asahi asked with a grin. "Weren't Adam and Eve, your creations, in an incestual relationship?"

"That is true…" God sighed. "I was just surprised. Didn't think you'd go for your sister of all women."

Asahi pointed at Shizuka. "She is my Hikaru Genji."

Shizuka's blush became more prominent. "You forgot Rika."

She couldn't deny him as what he said was the truth. She and Rika had raised Asahi with not-so-familial intentions in their minds.

"Who is Hikaru Genji?" God asked. "Can you explain?"

God, who rarely dabbled in the mortal world, couldn't possibly know about the Tale of Hikaru Genji.

Asahi was about to explain, but a familiar face interrupted them.

"Asahi~." Gabriel flew at him full speed and tackled him. Even Asahi flinched in the face of ridiculous force brought by Gabriel. Gabriel acted like she did nothing wrong and wrapped her wings around him. "Welcome back~."

Asahi rubbed her head, a soft light in his eyes. "Did you miss me?"

"A lot."

Gabriel thought of him more than her father and her creator at this point. She had no job, unlike her brothers and sisters who were busy all the time in different duties towards Heaven. So her mind was filled with all kinds of imaginations in her free time.

"Who are you?" Gabriel looked at Shizuka with child-like curiosity in her eyes. Recalling the maid Asahi brought earlier, Gabriel frowned. "Are you Asahi's wife?"

"So this is Aa-kun's mistress?" Shizuka smiled at the angel clinging to Asahi as though she wasn't going to let him go. "I'm Shizuka. And yes, I'm Aa-kun's wife."

"You smell like an angel. Do you have wings?" Gabriel flapped her wings. "These?"

Shizuka's class 'Klyscha's Acolyte' progressed the more time she spent with Klyscha. As such, her Holy Element had matured to A-Rank. It was enough to deceive other angels.

Shizuka touched Gabriel's wings, finding them soft and comforting. "I'd love to have them."

Asahi realized his first goal after becoming the Leader of Heaven—turning Shizuka into an angel. Shizuka already possessed all the traits needed to be an angel. Well, as long as she didn't touch alcohol.

Gabriel released Asahi from her crushing embrace. "Asahi, pat her."

Asahi's headpats cheered her up every time. Gabriel took Shizuka's envy for sadness, and wanted her to smile.

"There you go, Nee-san." Asahi lightly patted his sister's head. "Gabriel is, well, impervious to many ordinary things."

"I can see that."

Seeing Asahi's interactions with Gabriel and Shizuka, God felt like he shouldn't be in this place. As he got up to leave, Asahi's words stopped him in his place.

"Yo, Father-in-Law. Can I bring Gabriel out?"
