Necro took Skully back to her arms and turned to look at Kyle with anticipation. "Daddy, let's weaken her before we turn her into a sister."
Lily, who was by his side and nodded with a smile. "Yes master, command us, and let's defeat that monster."
Kyle felt like he was dreaming. What did they mean by command? It was not like he could see their abilities and click on them to use them on the mons—.
He felt the phone vibrating and immediately took it out. He now had nothing to say. He wondered why his phone showed a pocket monster type interface.
[Lily Kyle—Spirit Dragon]
[Level:1]
[Attack:Dragon claw—Effect:Bleeding
[Health:100/100]
[Necro Kyle—Lich Queen.]
[Level:1]
[Attack:Skull Blast—Effect:Decay]
[Health:100/100]
...So they have a surname now, though Kyle was numb to this whole situation, he still felt weird when his name was placed as a surname which would mean this lousy system registers these two girls as his...daughters.
So if they were his daughters, why is he exactly making them fight a terrifying monster instead of running away...oh, right, they wanted to fight.
He rubbed his forehead irritably and sighed. "Fine, Necro, aim at its head and use Skull Blast."
Necro did as said. She stretched her hands forward, and a dark energy gathered in her hands until it resembled a skull. The moment it finished, the Skull blasted off and impacted on the centipede's head.
With his game experience, Kyle didn't pause. "Lily uses Dragon Claw and takes care of its eyes."
Lily ran towards the Centipede, and both her arms began morphing into pink scaly claws she jumped towards the stunned Centipede's head and was about to attack when the Centipede used its tail to wrap around her and throw her towards the ground.
"Steady your balance." Lily used the momentum of the fall and landed safely on the ground. She looked annoyed because she didn't get to use her skill.
Kyle turned to the centipede, which was hissing in pain. The place where Necro had hit was bubbling as if acid had been poured on it.
The Centipede was hissing in pain, but it was also angered, getting a guess of what it was about to do, Kyle turned to Necro. "Necro, once the centipede opens its mouth, use a skull blast there. You can begin charging it up now, just in case."
Necro nodded and got ready.
He turned to Lily and commanded her once more. "Lily, don't rush into Attack because I said so, try to focus on your surroundings and make sure to counter the unexpected attacks. If you can't, dodge them instead."
Lily smiled. "Ok, Master. I will."
Really, she should stop calling him master....but now that he thinks about it, he never told her to do that, Kyle instantly felt bad. Was he treating her like a slave by doing that? "...also can you not call me master, you can call me Daddy like how Necro does or even brother if you want."
Lily was momentarily caught off guard by that, but before she could reply, the centipede hissed and began to open its mouth, but luckily was necro known time, and the skull hit the Centipede straight on the face making it screech and drop down to the ground with a loud bang.
Seeing that it was distracted, Lily took in a deep breath and ran to attack it.
This time, the centipedes were too distracted to react.
Lily clawed across the centipede until it created a large gash on it that leaked green blood.
Seeing that, Kyle thought it would be the right moment to use Lolification. He raised his arm and pointed at the Centipede. "[Lolification]?!!."
Something pink wrapped around the centipede, it was a ribbon that continuously dragged the centipede into it while it thrashed and screeched, seemingly in pain.
The scene looked....creepy.
The ribbon floated above the centipede, forming the shape of what seemed to be a large egg and seeing the large and long centipede being dragged into it without the egg expanding as disturbing. Once the ribbon egg consumed the centipede, it landed gently on the ground facing Kyle with a big bow on it.
Kyle blankly looked at the egg and thought, "Lolification is terrifying."
Shake. Shake. Shake.
The egg was shaking, and Kyke, for some unknown reason, unconsciously backed away.
Shakeshakeshakeshakeshak.
Undoubtedly, the shaking continued in a much faster and louder manner. Kyle, for some reason, felt fear for what was about to come out of it, and he took another step back. Necro, who was near him, held tightly onto his sleeve, her too looking terrified.
Lily was at a significant distance away from the egg, so she just stayed there.
SHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKESHAKE.
The egg tittered and began vibrating. "..Heh."
A voice was heard from within. It sounded mischievous and also arrogant. The Egg unfolded, and a girl with black and green hair stood at the spot with her hands on her hips and her head slightly raised. She was wearing a green-looking hoodie with black decorations and a black and green striped skirt. "Behold my greatness, father, for I have emerged from the vessel which you have granted life upon me."
... and Kyle was just silent once more.
DING.
[Main Quest Unlocked: Build Your Family](COMPLETED)
[Objective: Form bonds and expand your family. (1/1)]
[Reward:Growth Candy X10 ]
He heard a sound from the phone and opened it. The main quest was completed, and he saw they were in his inventory, he would check up on their effects later first he turned to the Centipede girl who was an attention-seeking brat waiting for him to praise her so her ego could bloat. "You just want a name, don't you?"
Hearing Kyle say that, the centipede girl faltered and pouted. "Hmph, only by receiving my identity can I call myself your daughter so Father grace me with one."
Her manner of speaking was weird, but Kyle looked too deflated to care about it. He didn't want to half—ass a name, so he came up with something with all his heart. "You act like a spoiled princess and also probably a gluttonous centipede, so I'll call you Centa. How about that? It sounds simple and fits you."
The girl's pout instantly turned into a wide, happy grin. "Centa... Centa Kyle! Yes, I love it, Father! I shall wear my new name with pride!" She struck a heroic pose, making her hoodie flap dramatically. "From this day forth, I am Centa Kyle, your most loyal and magnificent daughter!"
What the—I never told you my name, so how did you know?!!. Kyle internally groaned and just blamed the system for it..
Centa walked up to Kyle and clutched the side of his side with a victorious smile, Lily also arrived staring at Kyle with a complicated expression, she was surprised at Kyle telling her not to call him master and to call him by his name or treat him like her father or brother. Not even a day passed, and she was surprised at how quickly he semi-adapted to his role as a lolimancer.
Contemplating what to call him, she finally came to her decision. "...Big brother, are you sure I should stop calling you master?"
She decided to be his little sister instead of his daughter. She thought it was a better way for him to talk to her more casually.
Kyle turned to Lily and smiled faintly. "Yeah, I don't really think I'm cut out to be a master or a father and a brother, to be exact, but I can't just leave you guys around to hurt yourselves."
Lily smiled faintly and walked towards Kyle, and stood by his side. "So Big Brother, are you going to make something with the deer?"
The deer, yes, he al.osr forgot why they came to this place in the first place. He turned to the mangled deer, which had already died and thought about how we were going to handle it.
DING?!.
And the system comes at the right moment. What luck.
Kyle checked his phone and was perplexed. What kind of weird situation is this?.
[The Eternal Homestead has sent you a message, do you want to read it?]
"..." Is this what one considers as seeing everything? An inanimate object somehow sent him a message, that was creepy, very creepy, and he didn't want to open the message.
...so the system did it for him instead.
[EH:Dear great owner, I can see you have low resources and don't have a way to gain them, so as a noble item, I shall help you, i can turn the deer into meat BUT only if you allow me to use its skin as a decoration and make a doormat out of it and place it in front of my door once we find a suitable place to situate in, yours sincerely, Eternal Homestead.]
"..."
Kyle didn't speak, but he replied.
[KK:I could just throw you away since you seem haunted]
[EH:...]
[EH:Ahem, I'll do it for free.]
[KK:Nice doing business for you, I will still try to make the door mat for you, though EH.]
[EH:This....isn't the owner a bit of a tsundere?.]
[KK:I'm throwing you away.]
[EH:A joke, it was a joke!!]
The Eternal Homestead went out of the phone and floated towards the deer and sucked it in. Kyle and the rest also got sucked into the Honestead at Kyle's own mental command.
Appearing back at the mansion, Kyle collapsed onto the couch, Centa, who was garnering for attention, sat beside Kyle and Necro, who was happy to get a new sister sat beside Centa "Hello Centa, my name is Necro, and I'm your big sister."
Centa turned to Necro curiously and smiled. "Hello, Big Sis, do you know what's wrong with our father?"
Necro nodded, getting a bit of a clue. "I think he's tired or just hungry because I'm feeling hungry too."
"Yes, I too am hungry, but I do not want to disturb our father, so we will wait for him to gain some energy and let him feed us," Centa said triumphantly, believing that Kyle would feed them.
Kyle internally groaned. It seems he wasn't done with work just yet. He stood up from the couch and then turned to Lily. "Lily, I'm going to go prepare food for us. Can you make sure these two don't do anything dangerous?"
Lily replied with a mischievous expression on her face. "Fufufu, ok, Big brother~."
He absolutely did not like that tone, but he didn't have time to ponder that. He went to the single kitchen of the Homestead and saw that it looked like a large kitchen from Earth. It even had a stove and an oven, but it seemed to be made from some sort of crystal.
There was also a fridge, and in it, there was meat, like finely cut meat here could be boiled or just fried over a fire, but there seemed to be some basic foodware like salt and oil here so he could make something very quickly.
So he immediately got to work and just decided to make some fried deer meat. Of course, after he boiled it, he was a clean human, not a barbaric brute who didn't care about how meat was treated.
Without further ado, Kyle began making some food...well if seasoned meat can be considered food then sure.
---[One Hour Later]---
Honestly, he could have finished this all in 30 minutes but he boiled the meat for thirty minutes then fried it for 30 minutes and placed it on four different plates.
By the mere scent of the aroma, Kyle did a considerably good job, after that, he just placed the plates on the kitchen dining table and went to call the brats.
Centa was the first to run up to Kyle with her ever-present excitement. "Father, I heard from Sister Necro and Aunt Lily that today was your birthday so I have thought about it and got you a present."
From behind her hands, Centa brought out a large green spike the size of a knife and handed it to Kyle with an expectant expression on her face, Kyle smiled at her and gently ruffled her hair. "Where did you get that from Centa?"
Centa blushed slightly and looked to the side. "It is a fallen piece of my tail, it may not be much but I would be happy if you did accept it."
