Lens walked on the floor making sure he doesn't wake anyone up ' I need to cook up something for breakfast ' he checked the recent meals he recorded to make sure that he doesn't overload their nutrients as much as possible ' I can only give them so little meat today so I'll have to make it tasty . '
He blends vegetables together and cooked some pasta and a handful of meat into the boiling sauce made from the vegetables he blended as well as water ' They ate a lot of fruit yesterday so hot chocolate should be good need to balance the chocolate with milk though ' he cut some bread and toasted them .
He left the sauce to boil with a timer and walked upstairs opening waking Amara up " Yawn , What are we having ? " " Spaghetti now hurry up and brush your teeth " he went to the room where ten kids were sleeping " Wake up everyone !!! " the ten kids snapped out of whatever dreams they had keeping their eyes close to avoid any sunlight that went through the windows .
" Get up or Amara will eat everything " Lens tried to mention that thinking it would wake them up " Tsune wake up " he was the sleepiest since he usually doesn't sleep in the time loop but because his body needs it so much he was forced by it and couldn't get out of the bed .
" Five more minutes " he complained and dozed off immediately . Seeing that some of them are moving to the side of the bed he let Tsune sleep ' They'll probably occupy the bathroom for a while '
They all split from the doors to a bathroom rushing to different bathrooms mainly one from the kitchen , living room , their bedroom and the one by the hall as well as Lens's room .
The nine still weren't used to the fact they were siblings , so there was at least one person waiting outside due to the uncomfortable scenario that they share one bathroom . Lens sat by the bed beside Tsune seeing him fearless hugging the chijite like a normal pet .
' It looks hungry ' Lens got the container he gave Tsune yesterday and popped out a small solid marble-sized meal with a buffet amount of nutrients and popped it on the chijite's mouth ' That should be enough ' the chijite glowed at the stripes annoying Tsune's eyes when he suddenly opened them .
" Bright " " Come on you should hurry up now don't you need to use the restroom ? " " Woke up early and used it already " ' He did go to sleep earliest yesterday ' Lens took the chijite of Tsune's hand and replaced it with a pillow that fell " We have spaghetti don't want to ruin the taste with the toothpaste "
" I'll wash my mouth with water yawn " Tsune still didn't want to get up off the bed so Lens waited for all of the kids to get ready to brush their teeth or the timer ring " I'll leave your pet here be sure to brush your teeth before going down "
The pot in the kitchen stopped boiling and Lens got a slightly orange sauce with bits of vegetables ' Smells savory enough ' he took a bite-size piece of toast and scooped some of the sauce to taste test ' Taste good ' he took the pot on a short table .
While the pasta finished boiling and was drained the water but the steam was still visible to the naked eye telling Lens that the pasta was still hot . He put the pot on the short table so the kids can reach it .
" Dad , give me some " Amara hurried since she didn't want to get caught in the line . She scooped the pasta out of the pot and scoop the sauce along " There's hot chocolate in the pot be careful with it . "
" I know " she put her plate near her seat and took a ceramic cup and took the ladle to take the hot choco in the pot " I'll go check them " he finds Tsune outside the room " Ah dad I don't have a toothbrush " " Here " Lens came prepared to give Tsune the toothbrush he needs .
" Thank you " Tsune runs inside with his new toothbrush thinking how yesterday he just woke up in a time loop and was now waking up in a different bed in a totally different world and a family with lotsa siblings .
He grabbed the toothpaste from the mini crowd in the bathroom ' But my siblings are weird ' he had seen them very impressed when he played the game but the impression wasn't one with curiosity but surprise ' Maybe dad never showed them ' he easily opened up to something new since he probably tried everything in the time loop .
" Get off me " there were many pushes from the grumpy morning mood of the three-year-old kids except for Tsune since he woke up earlier just taken a short nap after that . He went to the toilet bowl and to spit his toothpaste cloud and wash his mouth using the faucet in the bathtub , arriving in the dining room .
" Pasta " " Here you go , early bird " Lens gave Tsune the plate of pasta and a cup of hot choco " wuh " he took the plate excitedly eating it , Lens watched with a smile seeing the little kid eat and felt a pull on his shirt " Dad choco " " Okay , Minerva "
He served the kids hot choco and Tsune left the dining room to pick up the chijite " Dad are there any pet names for chijites ? " Tsune didn't know how to name a chijite even though it looks a lot like a cat he thought that it has a different naming system like calling a ginger cat Ginger or Orange .
" You can name it by its color or pattern " Tsune looks at the chijite " Dentes , I'll call it Dentes " " Dentist ? " Primis asked " No Den-tes " " Do you want me to make a nameplate for you ? " Tsune looked at Dentes and nodded " Yes " Lens guided Tsune to use the phone he got him to edit but Tsune was very good at it " Here " Tsune handed the phone willingly .
" Okay , I'll be quick , Kids there anything you need ? " " No " they all said in unison while Amara shook her head " Then I'll be gone for a while " Lens left and Amara put her plate on the sink and utensils aside and looks at the nine kids " I'm done " Circe finished her food .
Amara took the plates and Circe thanked her but was taken by the shirt like a mother cat carrying her kittens by the neck " Tsune let's play " she took the two children with her to her room while the rest look at the camera ' Dad is not watching "
...
A figure walked inside a giant control room and his subordinates heard his steps " How is the space portal technology ? " " It's progressing well sir " " Hey 1 got anything ? " 4 said smiling at 1 " How are the newbies ? " " We told them about what happened to all of us and it seems we got valuable information from them "
This world is a very closed world , you can enter but never leave without the proper equipment that's what one is trying to find out " What valuable information " " A change in the situation of the nine , they're not themselves anymore " 1 stopped and narrowed his eyes " What happened to the nine did they got possessed by ghost ? "
" Not exactly but they acted too different than what we know from the history we have , it's like they became a different person not like what we used to know it was short for the newbie when they got near them . According to the information the newbies got they stumbled on an artifact don't know what it was but it certainly was used by the nine as theory goes not much information to pass through the closed world . "
1 narrows his eyes and was curious about the situation of the nine " And hey if you want , you can check their database . " 4 replied " No , I won't , ask them to summarize thoroughly about the artifact found " " That's the usual anyways to keep an eye on the nine " 4 said before leaving
1 recalls the past but it gets hazy though he did remember the day he came to this world ' But I don't know why , so this time the nine should be watched and a change in the situation is problematic '
...
Back to Lens who was also thinking of his old ambition where he was a crazy monopolizer . In a mansion , he had a lot of forbidden books , technology and material in his hands . He invested his time to learn and put them to use rather than theory .
Creating greater things than the genesis seed , loop box . He seized the ancestor of a chijite and experimented on its body to exhaustion , death and to the point he captured their soul . A murderer and a heartless man with no care for the value of an endangered species .
He fiddled with hiveminds and alien civilizations at a cruel time of age , created a stimulation to investigate consciousness and thought of theories about the birth of the universe whether it was slow or an explosion to the point he made the theory true .
Even the beings of incomprehensible forms were unable to fight his desire , ego or even power . A human being with only the potential of living less than a century , but he surpassed many barriers that incomprehensible beings ever have .
All the forbidden books harvested from the knowledge of his enemies , materials plundered from the richest , taking data from civilization and destroying it once they made the slightest opposition even if it was an intention or thought .
Treasures and transcendent-grade artifacts sourcing from raiding , laws and absolute cycles taken from their origin due to his greed . No one could handle him , traveling many worlds not sparing anyone .
Eventually , he stopped and settled like a soldier who was retired telling bedtime stories to his kid . With all his treasures stashed somewhere very deep ' Who knows what happens if my kids became big shots ... no wait they already were when I picked them kind of a coincidence that they all hop into my basket '
Lens chuckled and felt a sense of deja vu ' Huh ? ' he turned to look at the toy train and picked it up ' They must've come in here , I did put color codes around it's easy but the only way to get it in is if they have the fingerprints right '
He took the toy train and shuffled the carts and changed the password again ' I'll go check if they took anything ' he opens the treasury where he flashed to check for fingerprints and wiped it as he did to the password entry buttons before .
' They didn't exactly touch anything looks like I don't have to check on them ' he went back up and got the nameplate for Dentes ' He's matching the purple color to it ' he smiles holding the plate in his hand and going back to the house .
' But where would Tsune go I just adopted him yesterday I can't expect him to be familiar with everything ' he pushed the door into his house where he finds his kids playing a board game " Oh are you bored already ? " " Yeah " Minerva answered throwing the dice on the boards .
Lens figured they made their own rules when playing the game " You're having fun " they didn't understand the concept of fun fully as proven by yesterday's dinner so they just nodded .
" Have you seen Tsune by the way ? I need to give him this " " Big sis took him and Circe with her " Primis answered " That so and what about Dentes ? " Primis looked around trying to spot her creation's descendant " I don't know " Lens looked at Primis's expression and smiled " If you want a pet you can always ask "
He patted Primis by her head looking at the dice " Hey you got one that means you get a fortune card " Lens put the piece Minerva always uses " Says here that you're next toy will sell well , sounds like whatever toys you're going to get is going to be popular "
He gave the card to Minerva and left ' Good thing Circe disguised it as a board game , some changes were made but it worked properly " Minerva said through the telepathy network ' But what toy though ? And how will it sell ? " Zero asked " DAD I MADE SOMETHING " Tsune yelled since he thinks that Lens was not on the floor he was on .
" What did you make ? " Tsune looks at him with a smile holding his phone to show the screen " I made an app which will make stories from what you like and turn something you hate to something you like , like if you are afraid of horror stories it will make a story just for you but still horror "
Lens nodded " Where did you get the time to make this ? " " Yesterday night I was making the concepts turning them to codes and fell asleep " Tsune made a face that would say "teehee" " That sounds a lot of work to make but what will you do about it ? " " Obviously upload it and get money "
" If you want to you can use my old computer " Amara said Circe was just looking at the conversation not knowing how to join in since her intellect only lies on puzzles in this current life so she can't suddenly pretend she spent time in the library " I'll fix the computer a little it is like a sword that got a lot of scratches would want to fix those scratches , so where did you put it ? "
Amara pulled a drawer under her desk grabbing a laptop " Here " she handed it to Lens and Circe looks at the model ' Why does dad have a brand of an old enemy ? ' " Dad what's that ? " Circe pointed at the brand logo .
" Oh , this ? I got it for Amara when she could use one I went too far making the lessons too fun " Lens admitted " Where did you get it ? " " Oh this is from a big company , I got Amara the best memory model since the older models weren't enough for her "
" Can I have one too ? " Lens smiled looking at the girl who was his daughter " Sure while I get this old one fix I'll get you one too " Tsune was excited to get a laptop of a different world and Circe manage to escape Amara's clutches by following Lens .
" Tsune let's play " Amara took Tsune and lifted him up " Dad I wanna go with you " Cice said with the idea of investigation " Okay , but you need to change " Lens went to their room and picked some clothes while Circe went down to talk to them " Dad has the brand logo of a former enemy " ' Use the network " Minerva reminded Circe and she drops on the couch .
' It's something you know Minerva the lab is completely different they are now dealing with technology instead of bioweapons " ' Then I'll go with you and check it out and see if I can find anything that connects dad to our past enemies " the rest were hearing the conversation they had and worried .
' If dad is with our enemies would he see us in a bad light ? ' is what they thought after coming to the conclusion that some of their enemies would talk s*** behind their back like any enemy or fake friend would " Circe I got your clothes do you want to take a bath before going out ? "
Lens showed Circe a nice outing set of clothes " No it's cold " Lens smiled and put the folded clothes on her head " Okay you should go change " " Dad " " Yes ? " Lens turned to Minerva tugging his shirt " I wanna go out too " " Then I'll get you a change of clothes anyone else want to go out ? "
" We wanna play " Zori said " Okay don't get too hurt or you will have to stay in bed " Lens went to get Minerva's outing clothes " Dad who's staying ? " Amara asked from her room " Primis and Iris and all your brothers " Amara thinks of how she can spend her time with them .
" By the way , they are playing a board game you can join them it looks like ten players can play at the same time " Lens told her making sure she knows what is happening downstairs " Have fun " Lens took Minerva's clothes and took Circe to the car while waiting for Minerva .
" Dad , where are you going ? " Crow asked curiously since he was dozing off due to the frequent need to avoid seeing light " We'll be back very quickly you should all have fun while we are gone trust me it won't take too long " ' The service is very fast over there and the repair doesn't take so long but does Tsune feel jealous that he is getting the old one ? '
Lens thought of it and realized that Tsune was just a new member ' Right it makes sense ' he got in the car bothered by it ' He might assume that I am treating him differently because I got him Amara's hand-me-down . Damn it Lens Illus you are a failure of a parent ' he drives with the goal to buy two and leave the old one .
Amara looks at the board game " Can we join ? " the seven looked at Amara and Tsune " Okay " ' Nexus !! " ' Minerva , we're a family it would be bad to reject her " a reaction to naturally accept a request or idea that is normal to every kid happened to them " O-okay " Amara tilted her head with a silent sigh " If you don't want me to play I'll just play with something else "
Everyone obviously felt guilty despite having mercilessly destroyed things of greater value before " No no no it's okay " Zori quickly corrected himself letting Amara make a bright smile as bright as the sun " Okay then I'll watch you finish this game first and then we'll play "
Amara pulled Tsune close to her hugging him as the child was just busy writing another code for translation purposes " How do you win the game ? " Amara asked so she knows what's going on but Circe never thought of adding the end conditions of the game " We don't know " Cael replied .
" Then how about this " Amara grab a piece with her " You tell us how to play and we will just start at the beginning " Amara suggested and they were all relieved giving Amara a piece while explaining the rules Circe told them .
...
" We're here " the two looked at the giant building following Lens in while Minerva scouted for any enemies in her scope as Lens walked inside ignoring the desk waiting area taking the two girls with him passing the line and reaching an office door where he just casually pushed .
Inside was a computer desk and a few chairs ' Sis looks like they still do bio research but for medical uses only " Minerva informed Circe looking at the detailed descriptions of an alien species' anatomy " Dad where are we ? " Minerva asked " Oh we're in a big company that owns many hospitals and makes this "
Lens showed them the laptop Amara used to use " Of course , this is an old model I'm still planning to buy two of their newest laptop model , one for you and Tsune . We're going to get an appointment for it though we're quite lucky to get some spots for ourselves "
He smiled and they both calmed down at the possibility that there were enemies who holds a grudge to talk s*** about them when Lens was around .
" Lens Illus I suppose ? " an alien came into the door to see them " Yes I'd like to apply for the demo of your latest product " " You're quite lucky " the employee sat on the chair and Lens put out his card giving it to the employee as the card was scanned to obtain the info .
With a few clicks on the keyboard the alien placed the card back " Okay , you're all set , please wait at the lobby till your card number is called "
Lens took his card and kids to the lobby where Circe and Minerva watched the service act quickly for the new product " That's my number " Lens smiled taking the two laptops he just ordered and bringing the two kids out of the building to see the smart city .
There were plenty of robots as well as a big building selling bio research products ' They are treating bio creation like they have rights " Circe said " Dad what are you looking at ? " Minerva ask , she usually would be able to hear people's thoughts but Lens was an exemption .
" That giant building over there " Circe looked at the building using the advance senses she learned to obtain info ' It's full of research products most of which are successful " Circe sent the info to Minerva .
" Dad , what do they do ? " Minerva was glad to have talked to Circe and Nexus about answers and a question about how she can obtain more thoughts when the person being asked answers .
" They make things that are endangered like the pet Tsune won yesterday , do you want to see we just have to cross the road " they nodded following Lens to the building beside the one they just came from keeping an eye out for cars without paying attention to the other details they planned to look out for like an enemy .
' I wonder if they are planning to get a pet if not they might even ask for something else like an extinct alien species , even though I have better formulas for them ' Lens look up at the advertisement board which advertised the rights of the bio creations .
" Whether it is pet or child the bio creations are up for adoption , but each must be treated according to the law " Lens smiled and Minerva and Circe thought ' No way dad is collaborating with this trash they don't even care about a single one of them what's more they don't look like they were the one in charge . " Minerva told Circe
Circle nodded checking up on the weakness of each bio creation " They may have weakness but even some children have autism , inability to learn so you must love them like they are yours , for those putting up faces will have to go through harmless investigation for the rights of the bio creations " " Lens !!! " an adult human woman waved at him with her big family in tow .
" Oh good morning Rebecca " ' Who's Rebecca ? " Circe asked ' She's our aunty on another planet , a single mother who takes care of a big family like dad " " Hi auntie " Circe and Minerva waved as an alien child peek out " Hello cousin " he also waved back at them .
" I'm taking them to see the building what about you ? " " I'm taking my kids out for sweets " " And where are the rest ? " Lens asked" I found a loveable person who takes care of my kids so well " Rebecca admitted and Lens looked at the rest of the kids observing where the kid beside her looked .
" Your kids are having plenty of fun with him , but what did you feed your kids , he looks like he is barely keeping up " the alien husband of hers was having a hard time keeping his antennas from snapping off using his telekinesis ability to fight off the force one of the kids is applying .
" Dan stop pulling my antennas " Dan obviously refused to do so , hurting Rotts " No " the other children were playing around with his other alien features that their mother didn't have . A tail wouldn't be enough so he has eyes on his neck and where the children were trying to take off since that eye was not connected with nerves .
" Rebecca help me " Rotts admitted defeat " Kids stop bothering your father " " Mom I don't like him " Dan complained along with his other siblings " Yeah he doesn't let us drink liquid nitrogen " " He's just learning , he wouldn't know about that now come on kids greet uncle Lens "
" Hi uncle " they wave at Lens and at the two girls " I just adopted two cute little alien " Rebecca picked up the boy that waved at them and he immediately hooked himself on Rebecca " Mommy they're scary " some tears were in his eyes out of fear " Poor kid don't worry anything that is scary will not hurt you "
" Yeah I also adopted another kid too but how do I say this " Lens made a face that made him guilty for not wanting to admit his mistake " Are they smart ? " " Well yes and funny too he tried to drink coffee the other day , but not the point , I made him feel ... less valued " this got Rebecca's attention instantly as Lens sat on a bench .
" Then is he okay with it ? " " I don't know , That's why I am planning to apologize by getting him the same laptop as Circe " Rebecca viewed the fact Circe wants one as jealousy and agreed " I got the same problem too before and considering how they have a new youngest and member as well as a dad I might have a problem too "
Roots came with all the kids in tow " How about we solve each other's problem then ? " Lens and Rebecca looked at him " Good idea / thought " " But where will we put our kids together then ? " they look at the big city but shook their heads .
" Can we go home ? " Eliana asked " How about our house ? " Rotts answered and they both thought about it " Okay , I'll go fetch my kids first " Lens took his kids to the car and Rotts carried the eight kids with him while Rebecca got the two youngest twins one of them being the alien boy clinging to her .
" Liam , Melia is it okay if you sit with dad " the twins hug Rebecca's arm " Wait where's Croce ? " " Here mom " " Can you be a dear and carry the twins ? " Croce nods taking them joining the eight other siblings with the twins shaking from all of them .
' The twins are so shy they hardly open up to their siblings ' Rebecca thought in her head starting the car to drive back home .
...
" Amara tell everyone to get ready we're going to Rebecca's house " Lens said getting prepared for any certain unprecedented incidents like the kids getting hurt from paper cuts . Amara quickly ran to pack anything to bring " Also auntie Rebecca has a husband and two more twins with them they are just a year old and seem very shy "
Lens told her and Tsune was curious who Rebecca was and decided to bring his phone with him " Dad can I bring Dentes ? " Lens looked at the chijite and nodded " Yeah but bring that container with you " Tsune showed it as he went to put on some shoes that had his name on .
" Kids go to the van now we have to go " Lens had two bags with him tossed them at the seat beside him and hit the pedal . They arrive at Rebecca's house where she wave " Hi , auntie " Amara waved at Rebecca " Hello Uncle " Amara ran first in and the rest were wondering what they should be doing .
' Don't we have a big business to take care of ? " Nexus asked ' Destini wished on the mural it worked very well since they are still alive and prosperous even now " Minerva answered they all walked in putting their shoes to the side , like a visit between a family they all sat in the living room while the three adults watched the kids interact at the dining table beside .
" Tsune why don't you join ? " Tsune looked at the big circle and at his phone " Uhm " he could see that they were doing an icebreaker to get to know each other but obviously he didn't want to join " I don't want to " and Lens thought ' Dang it he probably feels insecure about how I value him '
Rebecca had her eyes narrowed at how the twins she just adopted were only open to Tsune they didn't even get close to Amara who she sees as a good big sister ' Do my twins have a condition if so how do I help them ' Rotts was two tired using telekinesis he basically fell asleep on the table .
And the reason why the twins are afraid of Amara the nine and their big brother and sister is because ... they have extraordinary senses they can tell that Rebecca wasn't going to kill them or even has the moral ability to , they are even open to Lens and Tsune .
But Amara they didn't like because she sometimes plays pranks that may harm them even if she doesn't intend to or even when she had a first aid kit with her , the nine are normal since they have done big bad things before as for their older siblings they were also god-like figures during a long time ago matching the nine's era .
So eighteen people were in a telepathy network ' We'll talk after no one is around ' Croce told Minerva and they all agreed inside the network " This is boring " Amara admitted " If you play an icebreaker we should have done it with someone new but they don't even want to play . "
They all stared at Tsune and the twins who cowered behind the chair Tsune was sitting on . He raised his head a little looking at their stares " What ? " " You should join us " Milan said looking at Tsune ' If it isn't ice breaker then I would join ' no one heard his thoughts but they didn't need to since they chose the game where twenty players can play .
" We only have very few controllers to play " Eliana said " Then play the tournament " Tsune said happily since he still gets time for himself when the others are doing their matches . Dentes pawed Tsune making the twins hide from the opposite side of the chair ' Does the twins Know fear ? ' Tsune turned on the lenses to get a scan .
' Is a shy alien species but sociable to people close to its strength ... So I guess I'm the weak one , then what are they ? ' Tsune could've ended his life at this moment but because he loves drama so much he decided ' Maybe later ' he gave the chijite its meal watching the fur glow and the twins walking closer since Dentes was no longer hungry " Can we touch it ? "
" Okay you can " " Tsune it's your turn " Amara said and Tsune looks at his opponent which was the girl who asked him to play with them " Wait can I test for a while ? " he got permission moving his character away from his opponents and tested the moves " Okay I'm ready "
He won " Hehe " he made a smug face to see the defeated opponents who he just kept stealing their kills from earning ten kills in his first match getting to the next battle interested in the game style " Kids can you drink some water ? " Rotts said taking a pitcher and glasses to the table .
" Liquid nitrogen " Rotts looked at Tay who was just staring at him . He opened a book looking at Tay's section " Oh okay but only half a glass you already drank an entire glass this morning " Rotts opened a special freezer to take out a metal cup of liquid nitrogen with telekinesis .
Tay grabbed the cup and just drank it like it was cold juice " Now do any of you want juice ? " Rotts looked left and right to see . Tsune decided to look for one himself leaving the twins to pet Dentes .
' So this is the fridge of a household that has different alien species . ' Tsune looked for the one he could get taking the juice and walking to the stairs to hide and maybe annoy them when they can't find him , Dentes followed him as well as the twins .
" I'll go help out dad you can all have fun "Amara also left since she lost to Tsune leaving eighteen kids on their own in the living room , the adults and Amara in the kitchen and Tsune , the twins and his chijite at the rooftop " The air is nice here "
Tsune put down the phone aside relaxing with the juice he got and offering some to the twins . The eyes that were watching him disappeared and the two sets of nine children face each other " What are you doing ? "
The nine kids of Rebecca looked at Lens's kids with narrowed eyes and they got the same look and reply from the other .
