Three years passed silently.

Rant Valo, Floriana Sabina, and Veia enjoyed their life together. Rant Valo had already forgotten about Zaria, or rather, he saw something unpleasant the moment he became the manager of the universe.

​​

…

In a village filled with bustling life, a young married woman sat on a log together with her husband as they stared into the horizon.

"It's almost been 4 months since Rant Valo left. I wonder what he's doing. If he's even alive…"

Zaria murmured as she stared blankly.

"What good is that guy, anyway?"

Kleo Lomer asked Zaria. He was her husband.

"You don't know, but he always tries to be kind to me."

Zaria said to him with a smile while her eyes kept staring into the horizon.

"Hm? That guy likes you? Doesn't he know that no one will approve the marriage of the two of you?"

Kleo Lomer replied to her with a sneer.

"Come on, Dear. He already left. You don't have to be rude to him."

Zaria turned her head to him with a frown on her face.

"Hmph. Whatever."

Kleo Lomer snorted at her.

"I wonder what he's doing."

Zaria murmured to herself.

"He's probably dead."

Kleo Lomer replied coldly.

"... I hope not."

Zaria shook her head. Although, there was an uneasiness visible on her face.

…

"Boy, how is your Death Magic going?"

Lord Xeva asked Nale Narene who was sitting on the wooden floor cross-legged.

"It's going well."

Nale Narene replied cheerily. He was already bones. He had no more skin to smile.

"That's good. I'll teach you more. Soon, I'll ascend."

Lord Xeva said to him. Nale Narene could feel that Lord Xeva was smiling towards him.

"I understand, My Lord."

Nale Narene nodded his head.

…

"I wonder where they are… Those kids."

Duke Brandi murmured as he signed a paper on his desk. He was inside his study room.

…

"Disciple, disciple? Disciple!"

Floriana Sabina called out to Rant Valo repeatedly. He was in a daze as he stared onto the ground blankly.

She was already at her adult form. This time, she was wearing a cute dress.

"Ah, y-yes?"

Rant Valo turned his head to her in confusion.

"What are you in a daze for?"

Floriana Sabina asked him in confusion.

"I just remembered things three years ago."

Rant Valo smiled at her bitterly.

"Three years ago?"

Floriana Sabina repeated his words in confusion.

"Yeah. You remember Zaria, right? She already got married. When I scanned the whole universe, I found the two of them sitting on a log with wedding rings on their fingers."

Rant Valo nodded his head heavily and explained to her.

It was hard for him to accept that she already got married. Though, he doesn't care about it anymore after three years of thought. He knew that she would stay as a mortal till her death while he would live forever. It was simply two different worlds.

The only way they can live forever together is if Rant Valo helped her, but since she's already married to someone, Rant Valo doesn't care about her anymore.

"Have you already gotten over her?"

Floriana Sabina asked him worriedly as she ran her hand across his chest.

"Yeah."

Rant Valo nodded his head at her.

"That's good. Come, let's go to Veia."

Floriana Sabina smiled at Rant Valo. It was like sunshine as the sun's rays were reflected on her teeth.

"Alright."

Rant Valo nodded his head.

Thus, the two of them walked through the forest. They soon arrived in front of a thatched house.

"Master Husband!"

Veia called out to Rant Valo as soon as he entered the thatched house. Veia was sitting on a chair with a large bulge on her belly. She was pregnant with Rant Valo's child.

"I still can't believe it that a succubus got pregnant."

Floriana Sabina commented as she looked at Veia's pregnant belly.

Succubi are supposed to digest a man's seed inside their womb, but Veia managed to get pregnant.

"Ehehehe. I just thought that I really wanted a child then I got pregnant."

Veia giggled at Floriana Sabina's words.

"I wonder when I'll get pregnant…"

Floriana Sabina murmured in a daze.

"What? I thought you're scared?"

Rant Valo was taken aback hearing her words.

"Hmph! It's your fault that I'm not pregnant."

Floriana Sabina turned her head away and snorted at him.

"..."

Rant Valo was speechless seeing her unreasonable response. It was her who said that she doesn't want to get pregnant, so he avoided impregnating her.

"Hehehe. Master Husband, if you become forceful, I think Sister Floriana would not mind."

Veia said to Rant Valo with a smirk.

"Ahahaha."

Rant Valo laughed hearing her words.

"W-What are you two saying?"

Floriana Sabina asked the two of them in a fluster.

"Hahahaha."

"Hehehehe."

Rant Valo and Veia laughed together.

"Hmph! You two are bullying me again."

Floriana Sabina crossed her arms and pouted.

…

Another three years passed.

"Tera come here! Come to auntie."

Floriana Sabina opened her arms to a small toddler.

She walked wobbly to Floriana Sabina and embraced her pregnant belly.

"An, ti!"

Tera called out to Floriana Sabina. She had sharp ears and pale skin. She looked exactly like Veia with Rant Valo's features.

"Awwww! You're so cute."

Floriana Sabina pinched Tera's cheeks.

"Ow!"

Tera tried to pull Floriana Sabina's hands off her face, but she couldn't.

"Sister Floriana, stop pinching Tera's cheeks."

Veia said to Floriana Sabina with a pout.

"What do you mean? She's so cute! I can barely keep myself from hugging him. If I wasn't pregnant then I would have."

Floriana Sabina replied to Veia like it was the most obvious thing in the world. She then turned her head to Rant Valo and gave him a cold stare.

"W-What? I thought you wanted to get pregnant?"

Rant Valo looked at her helplessly. She was always unreasonable like this.

"Hmph!"

Floriana Sabina snorted and ignored Rant Valo.

"I told you, Master Husband. She won't reject it if you became forceful for a night."

Veia said to Rant Valo with a cheeky smile on her face.

"Hahaha."

Rant Valo laughed at her words.

"Geez. Can the two of you stop talking about that? There's a kid here."

Floriana Sabina bit her lips unhappily as she looked at the three of them.

…

Another three years passed.

"Master Floriana, good luck on your ascension."

Rant Valo said to Floriana Sabina with a confident smile on his face.

"Fufufu. Since I have your good luck, then I'll succeed."

Floriana Sabina laughed confidently. She floated high up into the sky.

Thunder crackled above her. A storm was brewing, and it was a strong one. Strong winds started to tug on the trees in the forest around them.

"I'll ascend!"

Floriana Sabina shouted to the clouds in determination.

A bolt of lightning crackled inside the clouds as if to respond to her. Floriana Sabina's body brimmed with energy. She was at the very edge of the Mana Dominion stage.

"Bring it on."

Floriana Sabina punched the sky as if she was shadow boxing.

BOOM!

A thin strand of lightning fell down from the sky and hit her head.

"...?"

Floriana Sabina touched her hair in confusion. It was like the lightning tickled her. It wasn't what she was expecting.

"What the f*ck?"

Rant Valo stared at the sky in confusion.

"It doesn't dare to hurt you, Master Floriana."

Rant Valo smiled wryly after realizing the reason why. It was scared to hurt her because it knows that she was his master. The lightning tribulation doesn't want to offend the manager of the universe which was Rant Valo.

"R-Really?"

Floriana Sabina stared at the clouds with a wry smile. She didn't expect Rant Valo's 'good luck' to be that effective.

"Yeah. Just finish her ascension!"

Rant Valo nodded his head and shouted to the clouds.

Boom

The lightning tribulation released a thunderous boom. It then shot 81 thin lightning bolts to Floriana Sabina. Each lightning bolt was absorbed inside Floriana Sabina's body. Her body slowly disintegrated into nothing.

"S-Sister Floriana!"

Veia called out in alarm.

"Don't worry. That's part of the process of ascension."

Rant Valo said to her with a smile on his face.

"Oh! Then, I trust you, Master Husband."

Veia was enlightened and smiled at Rant Valo.

They waited for a few minutes before a change happened.

A golden light fell from the sky towards the spot where Floriana Sabina disintegrated.

Slowly, particles of dust accumulated and formed Floriana Sabina's new body.

A dozen minutes later, Floriana Sabina was completed. She had her arms and legs extended outwards like a star. Although, she was entirely naked.

Rant Valo had already cast an illusion to block this space. He doesn't want anyone to see his master's naked body. It was only for him to see and enjoy.

"Ahhh! This feels nice."

Floriana Sabina moaned in pleasure. She started moving her body while the golden light slowly faded away. She admired the flawless and smooth skin she now had.
