Dream walked in and looked around."It's not as big as I thought." (Dream)"Well what you see now is only a bit. There's a library off to the side. There's also a storage room where I keep my materials. There's a forgery and crafting area over there where I make things. This area we're in is where I do most of my writing and theory work." (Graff)Graff pointed out the doors to other rooms as he explained what they were. In the room they were in, Dream could see a big table with many papers on it, along with boards on the walls, like chalkboards. These chalkboards had many drawings and writings on them, which Dream didn't know the purpose of.Graff spoke after noticing Dream's curiosity."Alright! Our purpose today is not explaining the crap on the walls, but the knowledge in your head, Dream. I want to see if it's really as good as I think. Let's sit down first." (Graff)Graff led everyone to a table and sat."Now, If I'm going to explain my knowledge to you, there are things you need
"This book is called, 'Metal Collection'. Sophia?"[It really does have what we're looking for! It's an encyclopedia listing a bunch of different metals and their properties! Graff probably used this to find the best metal for those wires.]Dream could sense Sophia's excitement at getting new and important information. He also flipped open the book to a random page."Hmm... Orichalcum? Highly shapable material and gold in color. Wait, this is just gold."[Elements will be the same on this world as on Earth. The only difference is that manmade materials like steel won't be present. That and the quantities of certain materials will be different. But, that's not what we're looking for.]"We're looking for how mana affects those materials. So how does mana affect gold?"[From what I see, its much stronger, but still very malleable. It's also a good mana conductor. Graff may have chosen gold for his wires.]"So is there any other difference? Just stronger?"[Don't expect too much from it.
Dream sat down on a box with the titanium chunk in his hand."Alright, we need to figure out the language of mana. That guy on the forum said that mana works by giving parameters, like a program. He called it a sequence. But this isn't as simple as electricity in a circuit. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like mana is as simple as being a regular substance either. I'm not even sure if mana is 3-dimensional since it has such bizarre properties, not that I know what they are."[Mana is 3 dimensional. I don't have any doubts about that. I believe that the soul, however, doesn't operate in the 3rd dimension, but the 4th.]"If the soul doesn't operate on the 3rd dimension, then how does it control the body?"[Well there's one thing that you can't misunderstand. It's that just because something is located in the 4th dimension, doesn't mean it can't be in the 3rd at the same time. Just like how things in the 3rd dimension can be in the 2nd dimension. This, however, means tha
Dream sat there contemplating for a bit.[There's not much we'll be able to do to help from here. All we can do is warn people and they'll have to figure everything else out.]"I know. But I still can't help but wish I were there. You said that people are leveling up? What about skills?"[The most common skills are shooting and basic sword mastery. There's also sports-related skills popping up. Cooking is another one.]"I guess that's good. I was actually thinking of posting some of our findings about magic. Like how levels strengthen the soul, skill signatures, how the soul is 4 dimensional, stuff like that."[I can do that. We can post it as an addition to the guidebook. Maybe make a section for our findings.]"Sure. Another thing, make a general A.I. for them, like Siri. It can help with various things and give them something else to focus on."[Alright.]"...Is there anything else?"[There isn't. At least for now. Its been barely a day since we sent things out, things need time to
[I'm Dream's helper, and when we make the connection, I'll be able to help you guys as well, with things like magic, strategy, and communication. But first, Luna, I'll need permission from you to scan your skill [Bestow].]'Oh, that's fine.' (Luna)[Great. Activating [Emulator]...]Sophia went through the Familiar connection to Luna and arrived at the skill signature for [Bestow]. She then began using [Emulator] and collected its information.The process only took a couple of minutes before she came back.[Emulation complete. Thank you, Luna. I will now be able to assist you and Iris in anything you need, whenever you wish. Dream has also expressed his wish for our communication, so I hope we can all become friends.]'I would like that too.' (Luna)'As would I. Hey Sophia, how much do you know about Dream?' (Iris)[Absolutely everything. What would you like to-]'Okay! I like the quick bonding, but not right now.'Dream intervened before the conversation took an irreversible turn.'Lu
"Come sit. We'll figure out our arrangements." (Elisa)Elisa motioned for them to find a seat. Dream sat near the edge and the girls sat across from him next to the other girls."Alright, introductions first. I'm Elisa, 2nd class Spearwoman. This is Ryan, 2nd class Swordsman. We are the two leads of this group and also work under the Alliance Hunters Association." (Elisa)Elisa confirmed Dream's guess, though he wasn't sure what that association was. The girl who spoke earlier about the inventories introduced herself next."I'm Lory, 1st class Healer. Nice to meet you!"Lory said with a warm smile. She was blonde and average height. Dream would put her down as a rather cute teenager."I'm Carla, 1st class Sniper."Carla said with a monotone voice. Dream figured she was the reserved type. Carla wore a black cloak and had black hair. Her looks weren't bad, but nothing to write home about. He noticed that she wore her bow a
"That's a neat weapon you have there. Do you know how to use spears?" (Dream)"Ya. I'm a healer, but we still need to know how to keep ourselves alive. And since we use staffs, we also practice the spear since they're similar." (Lory)"Very cool. I never would have thought of something like that."Lory smiled brightly at Dream as he thought about how intuitive it was."Hey Dream, what did you think of those rats? Could you guys take them?" (Elisa)Elisa spoke as she walked up to him. Dream turned and could see Ryan cutting off the hands of the rats."We could. Though if the groups got bigger, we would need to be careful." (Dream)"Well if you're confident, why don't you guys take the lead on the next group. If there's four, we'll take care of one, leaving the rest to you guys.""That works. Just let us know which one you got.""Sure." (Elisa)"Yay! I'm excited to see you fight." (Lory)"I'm also interested in your archery." (Carla)"She speaks!" (Dream)Dream put on an astonished face
Iris was quick to begin venting as they walked off.'I hate her! We were clearly with you, and she only wanted to invite you! Not to mention how she was totally attracted to you...' (Iris)'Oh? Is Scarlet jealous?' (Dream)'I am not! I just hate her! She looks at us rudely, fakes it, and then completely disregards us. I outta smack her.' (Iris)'Well that would look bad so I don't recommend it. And don't worry, she won't take me from you.''I said I'm not jealous! And besides, I'm definitely prettier. She also has small boobs.''Does that make you feel superior or something? Hehe, well I guess I do like your big boobs better, so it's fine.''You... Ugh...'Iris began blushing bright red. She couldn't turn away the 'compliment' since he had only agreed with her. She could do nothing but be embarrassed, and a bit happy.Luna also smiled. It was the first time that she had ever considered the fact that other girls might like Dream as well. It was a weird feeling, but seeing how Dream res
