Reinhardt sat back in the plush, velvet chair of his ancestral study, Fennekin curling up on his lap like a warm, breathing charcoal heater. He gently stroked her fur as the blue light of the System illuminated his silver features.
"Alright, Wifey," Reinhardt said with a playful glint in his eyes. "I've been so busy being a Lord that I almost forgot my birthday presents. Pump up those 510 pulls at once!"
[Processing...] the System chirped, her digital voice sounding a bit more excited than usual. [Beginning Mass Gacha Summoning! Please hold onto your fire-fox!]
The room was suddenly filled with a kaleidoscope of colors—white, blue, purple, gold, and a blinding, shimmering rainbow. When the light faded, a massive list scrolled down Reinhardt's field of vision.
Gacha Results: 510 Pulls
Common: 300 Rare: 100 Unique: 20 Ultra Rare: 80 Legendary: 10
Reinhardt whistled, looking at the breakdown. "Wifey... you really do love me, don't you? This isn't just luck; this is a 'favourite husband' bonus."
[I-I don't! Don't think such things, Host!] the System stammered, though a small "Love Meter" icon in the corner of his HUD flickered to 99%. Deep in the System's core, the Goddess was secretly saving a recording of Reinhardt's voice to her "Eternal Treasures" folder.
"I love you too, Wifey," Reinhardt whispered, leaning closer to the screen.
The HUD turned a shade of crimson that rivaled Fennekin's fur. [R-Respect yourself! Look at your rewards!]

Reinhardt stared at the list, his heart racing. "Wifey... you basically gave me a dowry for our first year of marriage. I'm touched."
[Hmph! You are dreaming, Host!] the System replied, though her text was shaking. [Also, I am initiating a System Upgrade. While I'm 'evolving,' you can now combine pulls. 100 for a Rare, up to 500 for a guaranteed Legendary.]
"So you found a loophole to give me better stuff?" Reinhardt teased. "Are you cheating for your husband?"
[I am not!]
"How much do you love me, honey?"
The System didn't reply in words. Instead, the screen flickered, a tiny heart emoji appeared for a millisecond, and then the whole HUD went black as the "Upgrade Progress" bar appeared.
Reinhardt smiled, leaning back as the new knowledge of Alchemy, Runes, and Charms flooded his Perfect Mind. "If it wasn't for you, honey, I wouldn't be here. Stay safe during the upgrade."
As the System Goddess blushed red in her digital realm, Reinhardt looked down at his hands. He felt his body shifting, becoming the 'Perfect' version of itself. He looked at his shadow, where the Shadow Khans now lurked, ready to kill at his command.
"One week until the Malfoys arrive," Reinhardt whispered, his eyes briefly flickering into the spinning red patterns of the Mangekyou Sharingan. "I think it's time to renovate this mansion... and maybe hatch a new friend."
Reinhardt watched as the blue light of the System began to flicker, signaling the start of the massive upgrade. "Wifey, before you go offline, merge all the duplicate skills and talents. Take the copies and condense them into the highest possible rank."
[Understood, Host... Processing skill synthesis... Done. See you after the update, darling...]
The System's voice faded away with a soft chime, leaving Reinhardt feeling a sudden pang of loneliness. "I already miss you, Wifey," he murmured. Deep in the void, the System Goddess's heart hammered against her ribs, her digital form glowing a warm, radiant pink as she began her transformation.
Reinhardt pulled up his newly optimized status panel to see the results of the merger.

As Reinhardt studied the screen, a deep, resonant voice echoed in his mind. "Master... I am bored of staying in the system dimension."
It was Dialga, the temporal dragon.
"I'd love for you to stay with me, Dia," Reinhardt replied, looking around the room. "But if you come out here, you'll level the entire mansion and probably half of London with your size."
"You do not need to worry, Master. I can take on a human appearance," Dialga replied smoothly.
Reinhardt's eyebrows shot up. "Really? Sure, Dia, let me see what my second wifey looks like."
A shimmering rift of blue and silver energy appeared in the center of the room. From the light emerged a tall, elegant woman with flowing silver hair and piercing blue eyes. She wore a sophisticated, high-collared maid outfit that looked exactly like Grayfia Lucifuge from High School DxD.
"Master... you like this woman from the 'anime' in your memories," Dialga—now Dia—said, performing a perfect, graceful curtsy. "How do I look?"
Reinhardt was stunned. "You look identical to Grayfia... my favorite character. Dia, would you like to be the Head Maid of the Sylveron House?"
"Yes, Master. I will take care of everything for you," she replied with a small, devoted smile.
Suddenly, a sharp "Yip!" of jealousy came from his lap. Fennekin was glaring at Dia, her tail swishing aggressively.
"Don't be like that," Reinhardt laughed, reaching into his storage and pulling out a High Quality Fire Stone. "Here, this is for you."
Fennekin's eyes widened. She snatched the stone, and immediately, her body was engulfed in the white light of evolution. When the light faded, a Braixen stood before him. She was taller, more elegant, and exuded the power of a peak-tier Pokémon.
Reinhardt sensed her power—she was at the absolute limit of the Braixen stage. She only needed two more high-quality stones to become a Delphox.
Braixen looked a bit sad, realizing she hadn't reached her final form yet, and hopped onto Reinhardt's lap to seek comfort. As she hugged him, Reinhardt froze. Through her soft fur, he felt the distinct curves of her developing chest. He blinked, stunned that the Pokémon's human-like evolution was already showing such traits.
"Don't worry about the final evolution," Reinhardt said, patting her head while trying to keep his composure. "You'll get there soon enough. For now, you're the most beautiful Braixen in the world."
Braixen chirped happily and nuzzled into his neck, while Dia stood by the bed, her eyes watching her Master with eternal loyalty.
"Well," Reinhardt whispered, looking at his legendary dragon maid and his peak-evolution fire-fox. "The Malfoys are coming in a week. I think we need to give this mansion a makeover worthy of a God."
