Rebirth of a Dungeon Master

 

"Alright, that should do it nya," Nekra said, closing up the final panel and wiping her forehead with her arm.

 

"Ready to go, Safi?" Nekra asked.

 

The girl perched atop the gigantic dragon nodded.

 

"Where are you going?" Yuki asked.

 

"To see Grand Uncle Veldora," Safi replied.

 

"So how are you getting out of here?" Milim inquired.

 

"We made the entrance in the Great Jura Forest like 200 years ago," Yuki explained.

 

"Huh? Really nya?" Nekra responded.

 

"Yeah... right after it was made, like 100,000 orcs came in," Yuki added with a nod.

 

"So that's what happened to that orc lord..." Milim mused.

 

"Nya?" Nekra tilted her head in confusion.

 

"Ah, it's nothing much, just a small army disappearing," Milim casually remarked.

 

Nekra nodded in understanding.

 

"Wait... Nekra, have you grown?" Yuki asked, a little shocked.

 

"Have I nya?" Nekra replied excitedly.

 

Nekra was now slightly shorter than Milim and around the same height as Yuki.

 

Milim and Yuki exchanged nods, both noticing the change in height.

 

"Yuki, I think we both grew," Nekra said.

 

"So, uh, Safi? How do you plan on getting out?" Milim asked.

 

Suddenly, the giant Safi Jiiva shrunk down to the size of a teddy bear, and Safi picked it up.

 

"Like this," Safi said, holding the metallic dragon.

 

"That's a neat trick," Milim remarked.

 

"What is that?" Yuki asked.

 

"Pym particles, they can make objects shrink and grow, then with magic, we can lessen the weight nya," Nekra explained excitedly.

 

"That's cool," Yuki said, having no clue what she was talking about.

 

"Can you make cookies bigger?" Milim asked.

 

"Yes, but they wouldn't actually be more food nya," Nekra explained.

 

Milim seemed to be broken trying to decipher that statement.

 

"Let's go see Uncle Veldora nyow," Nekra said as she instinctively started heading towards the Jura Forest exit.

 

"It's grown a lot in the past 200 years nya," Nekra commented as they approached.

 

"Yep, however, everything is the same," Yuki said as she pushed open the giant iron door.

 

'Hey Sage, it's like 1 year to the plot, how long till he is born?' Nekra asked.

 

(Sage: 2 months)

 

"What happens in 2 months?" Yuki asked.

 

"Something amazing nya," Nekra replied with her cute smile.

 

"Uncle! We are here!" Nekra shouted into the cave.

 

"I'm hearing voices again," a deep voice replied.

 

"Nya! Uncle Veldora?" Nekra shouted, arriving to see him in the cage.

 

"Nekra, is that you? I thought that werecat didn't live that long," Veldora said.

 

"I was also a vampire, but now I'm a Nekoshou," Nekra explained.

 

"That's a long-extinct race, little girl. In fact, it's the reason the werecats went extinct because the Nekoshou scared a lot of people, my older brother included," Veldora recalled.

 

"Nya? How so?" Nekra asked.

 

"Because they were some of the first true demon lords," Veldora explained, thinking back.

 

"We brought anime and snacks!" Milim announced as she walked in.

 

"So, you are my brother's daughter. You look so much like Lucia," Veldora remarked, somewhat narrowing his eyes.

 

"You knew my mom?" Milim asked.

 

"I never... So what anime did you bring this time?" Veldora asked, adopting his tsundere attitude trying to distract from the current discussion. 

 

"Jojo!" Milim exclaimed excitedly.

 

"We are rewatching that again?" Nekra questioned.

 

"It's really good," Yuki chimed in.

 

"I can agree," Safi added.

 

"Uhh, who are you?" Veldora asked the girl holding a small dragon.

 

"I am Safi Mommy's daughter," Safi introduced herself.

 

"Interesting... you feel like a dragon though?" Veldora observed.

 

"Wait, she actually became a real dragon?" Nekra asked excitedly.

 

"Not a true dragon, but maybe an ancient one," Veldora confirmed.

 

"Congratulations, Safi," Yuki said, patting her head.

 

"Yay," Safi replied with a smile, feeling proud of her mothers accomplishments and her new found status.
