As he fought to keep himself awake, Dream suddenly heard a voice. It was Luna, and both she and Iris teleported to his soul."I already knew you would stay. Besides, I need your help.""Hell yeah you do. Look at you. Your soul is so weak!"Iris snickered as she felt his soul's aura. It was barely there, a testament to how much power it took to clear out the demons like he did.Dream just shook his head at her. Currently he was on his hands and knees on the ground, breathing heavily out of instinct. Hundreds of demons surrounded them, and they didn't look happy. However, they weren't attacking. Dream knew why."Look at this human! You're definitely one of the strongest. Looks like we're coming out of this with a harvest!""Quickly set up the ritual! Don't let him kill himself, otherwise we won't get anything!"The class 4 demons all shouted at each other as they surrounded Dream. Soon, he could sense a certain power activating in their bodies. They were going to convert them."Oh no yo
2 weeks passed since the final battle...During this time, the Haven gradually settled down and the remaining 40 class 4's took full control over their districts. Everyone started getting used to the systems around the place and disputes drastically decreased with the help of the guards and the AI on everyone's bracelets.The demons also settled their activities on the surface. Since they had wiped out all life on the planet, there was nowhere else to invade. Nothing came to kill them, and they could go on with whatever they wanted. Curiously, this led to them conglomerating.A majority of the demons moved down to the third continent, otherwise known as the demon continent. There they set up massive communities and kingdoms of demons that spanned half the continent. The same thing occurred in the center of the human and animal continents, albeit those establishments were smaller.With that, the demons were no longer scattered across the lands, and Dream was able to relax his guard. If
"The Ancient Era took place several thousand years ago. Back then, the world was much less developed than it is now. Up until then, the concept of a class 4 was foreign to people, and at most, class 3's roamed around. But that all changed one day when the angels descended on this world.The angels are beings of incomprehensible power, and when they came, they brought with them the teachings of the Church. They established an entire kingdom that we once knew as the Holy See and gave us our Bible. After that, they left. Nothing much was originally planned to come of their arrival. However, they left behind them an unexpected benefit. Since they were supremely powerful beings, they unintentionally raised the mana density of our world.From then on, the entire world skyrocketed in power. Class 4's came into existence for the first time, and with their appearance came the establishment of the world's greatest Empires. The Spire, the Sword School, the Enchanted Mountain, the United Empire,
Over the next day, Dream and Sophia continually made progress, trying out many different frameworks, scripting out various enchantments, and creating some possible containment techniques. And things went well. They soon had an overall image and a way to implement it.There were two ways Dream could do this. He could either create a solid vessel that would contain the energies, or create a magic vessel. The solid vessel would be tangible, something similar to Aegis's heart. It would have to be a material that could exist on the same dimension as his soul. As for the magic vessel, it would be created purely from mana.After they made the vessel out of either of these, they could input the energies and guide them with powerful enchantments and influence. The energies would combine in a vortex and annihilate each other, spitting out gray mist.It seemed very simple, and after they planned everything out, Dream went on to try and implement the system. However, this was when he ran into som
After that entire month of working nonstop in the factory, Dream took a day to rest. The number of enchantments he had done could only be counted by Sophia, and he had expended all his energy on more than one occasion.It was a great workout though. So after Dream completed everything, he decided to allow his soul to totally recover. The purpose wasn't actually just for rest, but so he could get a look at his current power that had gone up once more.Before he had completed the vessels, Dream estimated that it would be at least two months before the gray mist spread through the rest of his soul. Now that the mist production was tripled, that time was cut down. And so, a month passed, and the mist was almost totally done spreading!It had taken more mist than they thought, but Dream assumed that it was just because it was trying to fill the nucleus. The nucleus was the core of a person, so it would take more energy to fill. It wasn't anything to worry about. So on the day that he knew
Before Dream started the advancement, he took a day to organize himself and notify Luna and Iris.Although he didn't have the luxury of mastering his new power, he still had to be able to control himself. So he took a day to try things out, building and enchanting a variety of devices.First, he went through nearly all the assembly lines and production machines that he just recently built and modified their enchantments. Especially the machines responsible for enchanting and enhancing materials. He upgraded those for superior mana and flux control, greatly increasing their ability and speed.When he did this, his Arcana and Particle manipulation skills went through some level ups, rising to level 37 and 30 respectively. Sophia also went up a couple of levels to level 14 after utilizing her changed processing patterns and Dream's skills. Although his skills remained the same, the change in energy also changed how they were used, and the usage of his skills improved.After that, he fina
Hearing the Keeper's words, Dream frowned a bit and pondered to himself.'So I need to somehow fully understand this. There's something I'm missing. But... there's something I need to ask first.'After thinking over things, Dream turned back to the Keeper."Keeper. How long can I stay here? Is there a time limit?"Dream asked this question with seriousness. For one, if there was a time limit, then he would need to meet it. Two, he couldn't spend too long here. He needed to get back to the planet lest the demons continue their diabolical plans. Luckily, he at least set it up so that Luna and Iris could control the army that was constantly being produced. If they absolutely needed it, then they could use it.The Keeper spoke after a second.{There is no time limit to this trial.}"Oh, really?"{Understanding cannot be rushed. If you require 1 year, 10, or even 1000 years, then so be it. However, you must satisfy my judgment, otherwise this will be for naught.}"Right. But... I don't hav
The empty silhouette, void of any detail or personification, rose from the body that it previously inhabited.It didn't have anything like eyes or a face, and because of that, it was impossible to tell its state of mind. However, Dream, who was the soul and silhouette, was definitely having a hard time recovering from the change. His mind had been turned upside down, and the reality he knew was shattered. The way he saw everything was different, and this was all caused by simply understanding a few lines of script.But before long, the silhouette straightened itself. Within Dream's mind, the collapsed mind space was quickly reforming. It was growing to be far larger and sturdier than it had been before.Soon, it healed completely, and Dream became fully lucid again. The disorientation faded, and when his thoughts started spinning, he realized what was going on."My... body. Why is it on the floor?"The silhouette turned and looked at the lifeless body on the ground. Then, it looked at
