The last place Dream stopped was Kevin's mountain. At the base, he walked through the entrance of a mineshaft before descending through the eerily silent tunnels.At first, Dream didn't think that this tunnel could descend very far. From the ground until the edge of this world, one could only descend 2 miles at most. Dream's metal tree rooted a bit over a mile deep before hitting the edge of the inverted world.But Dream was easily able to tell when he went far deeper than what was possible. At some point, he went 20 miles deep. It was only here that he finally arrived at the end of the long tunnel.The sounds of clanging metal rang out as Dream turned a corner. When he peeked out, he saw Kevin digging away with his pickaxe. It didn't look like there was anything special behind his actions, but Dream refused to believe he did this for no reason."If you're here for tutelage, then start digging."Kevin plainly spoke, prompting Dream to conjure a pickaxe out of thin air. Merely using th
Luna and Alice instantly appeared on the other side of the portal, and they looked at their new surroundings.There were tall buildings all around, and people rushing down busy streets. All of them were asuras."The Blood Drop Primary World."Luna mumbled. She obviously had intel on this place, and all the other significant celestial landmarks throughout the universe. Coming here was simple for her.Then, she turned her head, looking at the building beside her."Dream's Armory?"She was a bit stunned when she saw all the thousands of people flooding in and out of this cubic building.Before she could get curious though, she suddenly felt herself shudder. Her soul bond that had been dormant for years was finally strengthened. She could feel Dream on the other side, and immediately knew exactly where he was. Alice felt the same thing.Without hesitation, both of them jumped into the void, appearing on the planet next to the primary world. Specifically, she appeared in Dream's mechanical
Nothing changed much after Luna and Alice appeared. For the next long while, Dream continued to lay back and ponder the universe.In his concept of Physical Reality, Dream was constantly learning all he could from those around him. Vursoid gave the greatest amounts of information while Dream occasionally mined away with Kevin or steal some of Quanta's gadgets.After some time, Dream quickly noticed an abnormality with the others though.None of them attempted to comprehend all aspects of Physical Reality. For instance, Quanta specialized in devices based off of quantum mechanics, but Kevin hadn't the slightest clue about how Quanta's bots worked. For someone who was comprehending a concept, Dream found it shocking to know that they didn't study everything.They all fell into their own specialized paths and pushed that set of knowledge to its extremes. This was very much unlike Dream who worked from the ground up, learning absolutely everything he could across every subject.Dream obvi
"What was that?! How do you know the World Eater?"Not long after Luna left, Vursoid appeared in front of Dream. He wasn't the only one. The rest of the asura gods appeared as well.7 gods stood around Dream, who continued to sit lazily in his chair. Truly, any demigod standing in here now might pass out from the stifling Wills. But Dream remained unaffected, simply because he understood far too much about Will.He scratched his head.Dream was honestly surprised. Not by Iris, but by how quicky everyone was able to figure out who he was. Ziji only needed to hear that single name, Dream, and he figured out who he was.Of course, Ziji also knew far more about the universe than Dream. Ziji knew the famous World Eater, Iris, and knew that she had come from a world with an Asura Craftsman. This was Dream's lie that he planted not just in Giros' head, but in his book as well. The book that Giros held carried all the information about the world he oversaw, and anybody above him could look at
There once was a man nicknamed Dream. He was 17, a bit of a science geek, and played all kinds of sports. A fairly well-rounded individual who had decent looks, smarts, and high ambitions. However, all this did nothing to prevent the apparently common case of self-doubt and hopelessness.As a kid who grew up in Los Angeles, California during the year 2060, he had all the knowledge he could ever want at his fingertips. Scientists were constantly pushing the limits of physics to develop greater technology as they always have. The entertainment industry was growing by the day, jobs were constantly being taken by robots, the lives of everyone ordinary becoming better but more intruded upon. It was just your normal, everyday descent into the dystopias you read about in books.Dream grew up in the midst of all this, but was raised under one creed: "Question everything." This is what his parents always told him, and it shaped his entire life.In highschool, he was quite the ambitious teenager
"...huh?"When everything turned to black and Dream couldn't feel anything anymore, a voice rang out inside his head. He could 'see' text being displayed.'What...the hell?'Dream had no idea what was happening. Well, he kind of did, but he wasn't sure whether or not he wanted to believe it.'Oh...Cool. Abilities... I may just be in a really good lucid dream... Get it?''Origin Energy? Like mana or something?'As Dream asked that, he finally 'woke up'."...."Opening his eyes, the first thing Dream saw were green leaves and sunlight poking through them like pillars of light. It wasn't super bright, but because he just came from a dark place, he squinted and put his hand up to block the brightness."Ugh. Bright... and hot. Damn, what is it, a hundred degrees? Let's get rid of this."Saying that, Dream sat up, reached over, and pulled off his sweater and shirt that was already causing him to sweat. Going from a cold night air to hot and humid jungle weather was not fun.Once he was stri
While Dream had intended to continue off for a while, he found that the wounds on his leg were worse than he imagined. So after barely walking for half a mile, he found himself a tree to sit against."Sheesh... That dog did a number on me. At least the bone isn't broken. Probably. Uh, catalog. I need bandages and a disinfectant. What's a good disinfectant?"[A good disinfectant would be-]"Who's there?!"Suddenly shooting up, Dream brought out the gun and aimed around after hearing a voice.[Nobody is there.]"Then who's talking to me?!"[I am talking to you.]"And who are you?!"[I am Savant.]"Savant?"[Yes.]"...Hang on."[...]Remembering that name, Dream brought up his status and looked at his skills. Sure enough, one of his passive skills was named Savant.After realizing that this was just a voice in his head, Dream calmed himself and sat back down."*sigh* Okay then, Savant. So what exactly are you? I've never had schizophrenia, so I don't think I'm imagining things."[I am a
*Scratch!* *Scratch!*When the sound of sharp objects grinding against rocks filtered into his ears, Dream's eyes shot open.When he brought up his head and looked to the entrance to his fox hole that was blocked off by rocks, he saw that it was still night out. Despite that though, there was something outside that was attempting to claw through the entrance.*Click*Grabbing the pistol that was holstered on his hip, Dream flicked off the safety and pointed it to the rocks. He didn't want to use the rifle as that might blow his ears out if he fired it inside the hole. If he fired with the pistol, it would be a bit more manageable.While he couldn't see what was outside and trying to get inside, he had his guesses. It was probably a wolf. Those things were nocturnal after all.'Let's just hope it doesn't insist on getting inside. I don't wanna go deaf yet. Actually... Savant.'[Listening...]Savant responded to Dream's call.'Get me some earplugs.'[Understood.]The next moment, earplu
