I look at the woman in front of me and smile.
“Ah! Riser Phenex, what can I do for you?”
“Hello… I did not get your name.”
“You can call me Y41T or Yuni.”
“What with the code name?”
“That is my name given my ‘father'”
“What?”
“Long story short, I’m a child who gets an experiment by a mad scientist and gets lucky to be chosen by the Company to be their agent. After working for them as a field agent for a hundred years, I decided to retire to become a receptionist for the company.”
“I see. If you don’t mind asking, which department are you in when you are still a field agent?”
“I don’t really mind. I come from Class-B, and my patron is the Prince of Frost. Before you ask it, I cannot tell you his real name.”
“I see.”
“So! What can I do for you?”
“I want to buy an ‘Island in the sea of time’ Advance Perk.”
“Oh! It will cost you two thousand points, are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Very well. Please come with me.”
I follow Yuni to the back of the room and continue to walk through a corridor. Finally, after walking for about three minutes, we arrived in front of a massive door. Yuni opens up the door, and I can see a massive office-like room.
The room is filled with many expensive-looking items, from alcohol to a magical item. In addition, there is an expensive-looking desk at the end of the room with a stack of paper on top and behind that desk is a humanoid creature.
I know he is not a human because there is a horn coming out from his forehead, and there is a tail on his back with the tip of the tail on fire.
“Ah! Y41T! What can I do for you?”
“I’m sorry for interrupting you, Lord Asmodeus, but Riser Phenex over here wants to buy his own pocket dimension.”
“Ah… Please take a seat.”
I take a seat while Yuni stands behind me.
“Riser Phenex. I must say, you are a hardworking man. Most of the agents we have, human or not, did not get to save this much point this fast. Then again, you are a special circumstance. This is because most of our agents get reincarnated into a new body and get a huge debt to the company. Anyway, you want to buy a pocket dimension?”
“Yes. I have enough points to buy it.”
“Good Good. Wait for a second. I will get the list of free pocket dimensions we have.”
I nod my head and see the Archdevil walk to the chest on the table near us. After searching for a minute, he came back with a small stack of paper.
“Here you go. All these pocket dimensions have the same size—the size of Australia. Usually, only an agent that has already worked for the company for three years can buy a pocket dimension. Even then, they can only buy a pocket dimension the size of Cocos Island in the Indian ocean.”
“If that is so, why can I buy a rather massive pocket dimension?”
“Because we do not recruit you. You are a candidate for a new agent when you are still a human, but seeing your lifespan cut short because of your sudden death, we decide to take you out of the list. The only reason you stumble into the Company hub is that you have a weak connection to us. Anyway, because we do not recruit you, you are free to do as you wish and are not tied to us other than your temporary duty to your patron. Hell, after finishing your temporary duty to your patron, you can retire and take your chosen waifu.”
“I see.”
“Good! Now, let us get back to business, shall we? The paper in front of you is the list of pocket dimensions available for you.”
I look at the paper in front of me. There are ten papers, and all of them have a different photo of what kind of pocket dimension I get. After reading all of the paper, I have three pocket dimensions I want.
“Can you tell me more about these three pocket dimensions?”
“Oh! Good choice. Now into the first pocket dimension. This one is a pocket dimension specialized in agriculture. The land is so fertile you can harvest a rice paddy in a week. The previous owner of this place is an alchemist who grows his own herbs and poison plants. Not only that, but this place is also a perfect place to do husbandry because the grass the animal eats will make them grow stronger and healthier. If you decide to kill and eat them, you will notice the difference in the taste. However, beware. There is a monster roaming the land. The previous owner decides to make a clone of the monster he encounters in his mission, and right now, they are roaming the land.”
“I see.”
“The second one is a pocket dimension specialized in metal. This pocket dimension is full of mountains where you can mine as much metal as you want. While the previous one also has metal you can harvest, this pocket dimension is filled with unique metal that we even want to buy from you. This pocket dimension is also fertile and suitable for agriculture but not as much as the first one.”
“And the last one?”
“The last one is a rather plain pocket dimension. It has all the resources you want, from medicinal herbs to precious metals. Sadly it did not have unique plants and metal like the other two. So you can say that this pocket dimension is the Jack of all trade and master of none type of pocket dimension.”
“I see.”
I look at the three-pocket dimension for a moment before nodding my head.
“I will take the second pocket dimension.”
“Great! Before we go to your pocket dimension, I must say that you need to pay a tax for owning a pocket dimension.”
“I know it… How much do I need to pay?”
“Not much. 500 hundred points every year.”
Fair enough. I guess five hundred points every year is not too expensive. Hell, it was even cheap, in my opinion.
“I see. I agree with that tax.”
“Good! Now, let’s go!”
A portal appears beneath me before I could react, and suddenly I fell from the sky. Seeing I’m falling from the sky, I did not quickly summon my wing. Instead, I enjoy the thrill falling from the high sky, and when I almost reach the ground, I summon my wings to stop my falling.
“Here we are! The previous owner called this Hariol the Dwarves Haven! The castle underneath us is a castle prepared for you. Inside, the castle is filled with as many necessary tools for your everyday life. From TV that can be connected to other worlds, it will connect to your world to a training area you can use. Don’t worry. The training area will restore to its original state every minute. Come on! I will give you a tour.”
I follow Asmodeus and land on the ground. As I land on the ground, I can see a golem standing on the castle wall and near the castle gate.
“Those golems are your army in this pocket dimension. However, these golems cannot get out of this pocket dimension because their main role is to secure your castle from a monster attack in this pocket dimension or a person that decides to overthrow you.”
“I see. How many golems in this castle?”
“Hmmm, let us use your world power term. There are five thousand High-class golems, three thousand Ultimate-class golems, five hundred Satan-class golems, and lastly, ten Super-Devil class golems.”
“That is…”
“Overpower? Yes, to you. However, you will encounter a being stronger than Sirzechs and Ajuka when you go on a mission in the other world.”
“Meaning there is a time where those golems are useless.”
“If you successfully bind that being, then yes. Next!”
Both Asmodeus and I walk around the castle. He showed me the kitchen, entertainment room, the underground training area, indoor garden, and even a tunnel that connects my castle to the nearby mining site.
After walking for a few minutes, we arrive in the underground room where Asmodeus said it would be the last place to visit.
“And this is the last thing I need to show you. This is the main control room. This place is the one that controls if you allow people from the other world coming into your pocket dimension.”
“I see.”
“Good! Now, are you satisfied with this pocket dimension?”
“Yes. Where can we finalize the transaction?”
“Great! To finalize the transaction, you need to smear your blood to the pillar in front of you.”
I walk to the only pillar in the room and bite my finger to make it bleed before smearing the blood coming from my finger into the pillar. A second later, I see the pillar glow a little before I feel a connection between the pocket dimension and me.
“Congratulations! You are now the owner of this pocket dimension. You don’t need to pay your taxes this year. Five hundred points will be deducted from your account every year, so make sure you have enough points when you need to pay your taxes.”
