"Aww, she's so cute while sleeping! I can't believe she's my own baby." Malenia murmured, gazing fondly at her child, now peacefully asleep. Unlike most newborns, her baby's body was similar to that of a several-month-old infant already.
After cleaning her from the birth fluids and playing with her for a while, Malenia had finally managed to put the baby to sleep.
"I can't believe this is real! Oh yeah, I need to name her too." Malenia muttered. Realizing she hadn't yet named her baby, she began thinking about potential names.
She considered many names but ultimately decided on Gobi, as it sounded cute—just like her—and it was also similar to her father's name.
"I'll tell her about her name after she wakes up. Until then, I should check the rewards I received from the system for my first birth." Malenia decided, opening the panels she had previously closed.
[Mistress, congratulations on your first delivery. You received the following rewards:
• 500 breeding coins!!
• Skill upgrade card!!
• Inventory unlocked!!
• 10 stat points!
• Goblin language understanding!
1/3 to upgrade the class!]
"Woah, that's a lot! With 500 coins, I can buy so many things. The inventory and other rewards are really good too. They were necessary for me." Malenia exclaimed, quickly opening her status and trying to put her staff into the inventory.
As expected, it went in successfully. She tried retrieving it, and just as she thought about it, the staff appeared in her hands.
"Omg! Can I take things from this world to my world!? Hey, system, tell me!"
[Yes, Mistress. You are able to use the inventory in your own world.]
"That's awesome! I could definitely become so rich with it." Malenia said. However, thinking about it again, she wasn't so sure, as selling magical items might make the government puff her.
Putting that thought aside, she asked about the thing that had been confusing her.
"System, don't I have an ability that lets me copy the skills of my kin? So why didn't I receive any skill?" she asked, opening the tab to read about the ability again.
[Kin's Blessings – allows the user to copy one of their child's abilities with each birth. Upgradable!]
[Mistress did not receive any skills because she was asleep during the delivery. You need to actively use the skill during childbirth for it to work, like activating a muscle to perform an action.]
"Oh... I'll keep that in mind for the future."
Malenia then decided to allocate her stat points, but instead of focusing on mental strength like she usually did, she chose to boost her physical power this time, distributing the points evenly—5 in strength and 5 in dexterity.
She immediately felt a change in her body after using the stats and tested it by doing some exercises. She completed hundreds of push-ups effortlessly without getting tired.
"Hah! I feel like I could take on multiple men at once... in a fight."
'Also, I could make money in fighting sports, but wouldn't that be too unfair for other women? Can I even participate in men's fighting sports? I'm not really sure. I'll search for it when I go back.' Malenia thought.
She now had twice the physical strength of the strongest man in her world, so she wondered if she could earn money using her newfound strength.
"But only in my world... In this world, everyone is so powerful. To survive, I need to get some offensive skills, like how Dante uses his blood to attack." Malenia lamented.
She remembered that the old system shop had many offensive skills, but after choosing the breeding class, all the skills had turned into lewd ones.
Not a single direct attack skill could be found in the system shop anymore.
After the recent incidents and invasions into her dungeon, Malenia wasn't as affected by the idea of killing as she had been before.
She somewhat regretted not choosing one of the other classes where killing was the way to become powerful.
However, that might have prevented her dear daughter—Gobi from being born. Everything truly happens for a reason.
"I can't regret that anymore! I need to find a different way to become powerful, as this system's progress is too slow."
"I also can't completely depend on Dante. I need to accomplish things with my own abilities, so I won't ask for Dante's help unless it's life-threatening."
With that resolution, she made a plan to explore the outside world herself—without Dante's assistance—but only after her daughter had grown up.
The system had mentioned that Goblins reach adulthood within 30 days.
For that reason, Malenia was excited to witness her daughter's rapid growth in the coming days.
Deciding to spend as much time as possible with her daughter during that period, Malenia opened a portal to Earth.
She wanted to learn everything she needed to know about caring for newborns and how to properly nurse them.
As soon as she stepped through the portal, the scene shifted. She found herself back in the hotel she had been staying in on Earth after her divorce.
Malenia quickly tested the inventory function to see if it worked on Earth as well.
She successfully pulled out her staff and smiled happily. "It really works! Maybe I should get some gold coins from that baron and sell them here. It'll be less suspicious than something magical, at least."
Adding that to her plan, she began browsing the internet to learn about newborn care, including how to breastfeed and clean up them etc...

On the other side, Sarah was receiving rough treatment from her servants, each one taking their time to use her in every way possible.
They had wanted to do this forever, and now that they had the chance, they let their actions run wild.
Cedric and Rick were miserable too. Watching their wife/mother in that situation was deeply unpleasant, and they slowly began to understand how it might have felt for Malenia to endure everything they put her through.
Cedric's mind wasn't functioning properly; the sudden shift in his life left him unable to cope.
He was a spoiled brat who had never faced any hardship before, and suddenly becoming a slave while watching his mother get defiled—it was bound to destabilize his mental state.
Rick wasn't as badly off as his son. He sat with his eyes closed, not wanting to witness his wife in that situation. He was meditating to escape reality...
