"In my World, I was struck by a divine sword while fighting a God."
Tohru said, "To escape with my life, I had no choice but to open an extradimensional Space. However, the Dominion of the divine sword erupted, destabilizing the Passage, and I subsequently fell into the Dimensional Gap."
"After that, as you can see, I drifted in the Dimensional Gap, and while waiting for Death, I drifted into this World and then met you."
The Dimensional Gap is vast, but this is merely the perception of creatures within a World.
In reality, the Dimensional Gap has no concept of Space or time.
Although there is a lot of 'junk' drifting in the Dimensional Gap, it is all worn away as time passes.
Because there is no concept of Space or time, Distance is also irrelevant, making it an extremely unique area.
After dream's Dominion was withdrawn, a lot of junk from Other Worlds also drifted over, but unexpectedly, this time a Dragon drifted in.
"Then you are truly lucky."
Rias smiled, "It just so happens that the Great Red left the Dimensional Gap, allowing you to drift into the World without Coordinates, and you just happened to run into me~"
"Great Red?"
Tohru asked curiously.
"A Dragon born in the Dimensional Gap. Its life form is one level higher than yours."
Rias replied.
"Hmm... a Dragon from outside the World."
Tohru sighed, "It sounds very strong."
"Because it's too strong, in my World, that being was never included in the Combat Power System."
Rias shrugged, "It had been guarding the Passage in the Dimensional Gap all this time, and only disappeared recently, which is why you were able to drift in."
Speaking of which, if I could infinitely extend my Dominion and Scavenge in the Dimensional Gap, perhaps I could pick up quite a few good things?
Wait, why am I thinking about this? If I did that, it would feel a bit pathetic... No, if I treated this as Fishing instead of Scavenging, wouldn't it be a very interesting recreational activity?
After all, you never know whether the next thing you reel in will be junk, Treasure, or something interesting... Wait, isn't this just a Gacha Card Pool!
Although the action is the same as Scavenging, one is for entertainment and the other is for survival. Can they be the same~
Someone who treats Scavenging as entertainment?
Emmm, perhaps there are people in this World who specifically scavenge, are looked down upon, and then deliberately show off and slap faces.
Intelligent Life can be terrifying when bored~
By the way, if I think about it this way: Scavenging = Fishing = Gacha Card Pool... Forget it, if I keep thinking about this, I'll get hit.
"Right, do you have any Plans next?"
Rias asked, "The concept of Distance is vague in the Dimensional Gap. Do you have the Coordinates for your Original World?"
"Hmm, it might be hard to go back."
When Tohru thought about returning to her Original World, a sense of Rejection inexplicably arose in her heart.
She no longer wanted to continue that kind of life... Of course, the Coordinates were indeed a problem.
"Then is there anything you want to do?"
Rias tilted her head and said, "Although dragons are very pure creatures, they must get bored just lying around and sleeping, right?"
"Hmm..."
"I don't know."
Tohru was a bit confused and shook her head again.
The two continued chatting for a while, and Tohru generally understood the situation here.
Because Pantheons often fought among themselves, most Pantheons ran into trouble, many were on the brink of extinction, and thus Peace was temporarily maintained.
Furthermore, her draconic Intuition told her that Little Rias in front of her was probably not a simple existence.
Nevertheless, Rias, as her savior, did not intend to use her to achieve anything, and Tohru simply kept the kindness of saving her life buried in her heart.
After a long time, Rias arranged a room for Tohru in the Lords Mansion.
Looking at this simple room, yet one filled with the scent of human habitation, Tohru felt inexplicably comfortable and safe.
No need to worry about external threats, no need to worry about attacks from Gods and humans.
This seemingly fragile little house was more secure than any Dragon's Lair.
"Plans..."
Tohru thought, and her mind inevitably returned to the human Thief she had seen earlier.
She remembered that human saying he wanted to become a Maid?
As Tohru thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but sparkle.
Meanwhile, Rias was not resting.
Although Sleep was also a form of entertainment, Rias now had new entertainment.
Like encountering a fun game, Rias focused her attention on the Dimensional Gap and then Created a new Ability.
Centering on the concept of 'Distance', Rias named this Ability 'Fishing Line'.
Rias today was far different from before. After incorporating the Small Universe Ability, the inner Dominion and the outer Rules combined, creating a high-intensity Ability that ignored Distance.
Rias gently flicked her hand, casting the line and hook on the Fishing Rod.
After about three seconds, the Fishing Rod shook. Rias pulled it, and then... a black-covered Notebook appeared in Rias's hand.
"The Rules of Death, huh."
Rias glanced at it, then opened the Book.
Soon, Rias determined the Origin of the Book.
"A Death Note..."
Rias sighed softly.
The Death Note is a Notebook where anyone whose Name is written down will inevitably die.
If the Method of Death and time are not specified, the person will die within 40 seconds.
This Notebook contains the concept of Death and can manipulate the Dominion of Causality.
According to the concepts within this Notebook, it can be effective even in this World.
But it's useless; this thing is no different from a Curse.
It is ineffective against the strong, and even the weak can avoid the Curse through means like Prayer to Gods.
Moreover, if she wanted to, Rias could Create something far more terrifying than the Death Note at any time.
However, the item itself is quite interesting.
"I'll keep it as a Collectible."
Rias casually stored the Book in the Library.
This Library was Created by Rias herself, and in a sense, it is a product exclusive to the 'Worldview' Rias Created.
It is the Infinite Library, Created based on the three concepts of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Space.
The Library contains all the Systems known to Rias, and the knowledge within the Library is automatically contained.
It is equivalent to absorbing external information, leaving traces in the Library, and improving itself.
In a sense, this is also a Perpetual Motion Machine.
Among them, Think Nirvalen is the Administrator of the Library, and Rias lets her do as she pleases.
Occasionally, when she feels like it, she can return to the Library in a single thought and hang Think up to play S&M~
"Let's continue Fishing~"
Rias gripped the Fishing Rod again, her face full of amusement.
This is equivalent to infinite card draws, with absolutely no guarantee of what the item will be, but it is certain that boring things like stones, sand, grass, or glass beads will never appear.
In other words, infinite card draws with a certain value.
Rias was quite fascinated by this new type of game.
In the next few hundred Fishing attempts, many items were useless, but she also reeled in some interesting ones.
For example, a Honkai Beast, whose concept was contained by Rias.
For example, the hair of a Goddess, which Rias stored away, perhaps to deduce the Coordinates of the Goddess's World later.
And for example... a white-haired male wearing an Eye Mask but who wasn't disabled.
"Yo, hello, I am Gojo Satoru~"
The fish hook had penetrated deep into his body. Gojo Satoru couldn't help but point at the line, which had no visible hook, and said, "Although I'm grateful for your kindness in saving my life, could you please take this thing out? It's giving me the creeps."
