As the 4 walked down the streets, they had quite a few eyes fall on them.Dream sighed in his mind. He thought maybe they should all just get regular clothes from this world since the ones from Earth were too exotic. That combined with the girls' stunning looks were just too attention-grabbing.Dream had chosen to wear casual clothes. Board shorts with a t-shirt. He also had on his running shoes that he always wore, even on Earth.He had also done up his hair. His medium-length, wavy brown hair was swept to one side. Though it was grown out since he hadn't cut it since coming to this world, but it didn't look bad.If it were just Dream walking down the street, he might catch a few eyes over his out of place hairstyle and different clothes, but nothing crazy.But it was clear that this world might not be ready for modern fashion, especially on the girls.Iris had developed a more reserved style. She likes to wear some kind of pants with sweaters. When they were in the forest, she would
The lady looked straight at Riddick with wide eyes and an astonished face."R-Riddick?! Is that you!?""Hey, Elaina. It's been a while." (Riddick)"Wha...? Y-you...*deep breath* We have much to talk about, Riddick. Come, my husband will want to see you." (Elaina)"Sure. Is he..." (Riddick)"As fanatical as ever? Yes. Even after we had our children."Elaina turned and led the group towards a staircase to the second floor. Riddick talked as they followed."You two had children? After all those years of being married, when did he come around?" (Riddick)"It actually wasn't long after you disappeared. He was moved by your situation and decided one day that he wanted to have a child. I, of course, didn't give him time to change his mind. I had waited for 57 years, there was no way I would pass up the chance.""57 years?! But you don't even look a day over 25!" (Dream)Dream couldn't help but express his astonishment. Elaina really did look young, like a woman in her prime. How could she be
Dream came out of stealth several feet away from Mark."Well, at least your fight or flight response is decent. Not many people have the instinct to fight back when put under life-threatening danger. Though you could work on staying more calm." (Dream)"Y-You...What level are you? Are you a second class?! You shouldn't bully a first class...""Oh, I'm not second class.""Then third?!""Errrtttt. Wrong answer."Dream smiled at Mark, who soon got the hint."You...There's no way...""I got my title plate, like, an hour ago. Here."Dream took out his iron plate and tossed it over. Mark caught it and saw the information already highlighted."1st class Ranger...E stats?! Impossible!" (Mark)"I also find that hard to believe. Nobody with such a low and basic status could hide from even me, so....Don't tell me..." (Elaina)"Let's just say that my ability is more than meets the eye. Riddick knows and I told him I would fix it when I got my second class. Either way, no harm, no foul." (Dream)"
[The Record has arrived on Earth!]'...Hold on.'Dream circulated his mana and cleared his head of the alcohol. When his thinking was sharp, he exited the kitchen and went to the living room. He sat on the couch.'What do you mean, the Record has arrived on Earth?'[Exactly what you think. The system, which is present in this world, is now present on Earth. I have also looked through the connection given by [Summons from Another World] and I have confirmed that mana is also present.]'...'Dream went silent. Not because he was shocked, but because his brain was working in overdrive. When he finally understood, he spoke.'Get me a laptop.'[Alright.]A laptop was summoned on Dream's lap and he opened it. The first thing he did was go to a news website.He didn't have to look for long as there were already several articles on the new mysterious system. Artists had also taken to the forums.Sure enough, Dream saw a post of a picture looking just like the status screen. There were even a c
Elaina guided them up the floors.The third floor consisted of the twins two rooms. Just two doors across from each other in a hallway.The 4th floor was Graff and Elaina's room. This time there was no hallway and just a door. Looks like they had a whole floor for themselves. The 5th floor was similar to the twins floor, having two doors."We have two empty guest rooms here. There's another room upstairs, but its barely a room. We would have to furnish it before someone uses it." (Elaina)"The study isn't up there?" (Dream)Dream remembered Elaina saying there was a study and figured it would be the top floor or something."My study is underground. I have a platform in my room that leads down to it and there's no other entrance." (Graff)"...I can't believe you bought a platform." (Riddick)"What else is there to do with my loads of money? Speaking of, I can go buy some furniture for the 6th floor." (Graff)"There's no need. I have my own furniture. I'll just take the 6th floor." (Drea
"...Is mana really that important?" (Iris)Iris looked at Dream, who had stopped looking at the computer."...Do you remember after our fight in the forest, when I told you that I was one of the people who gave up? And during the talk with my mom, when she said that it was suicide? Well, it was. Because I had lost hope on that world, and because I longed for knowledge that I could never get, I decided that death was my best option. Death was the only release, the only way out that I could see. And I wasn't the only one. There are many people who lose hope, and even more who choose to ignore it and distract themselves with entertainment.Mana, however, signifies a greater calling. Mana is the way out of the cage. It shows us that we can become powerful by our own strength. And most of all, it lets us see a higher realm of existence. Now, everyone knows that that godhood isn't just some made-up concept in religion. Now, everything is truly possible. Even if I were the one choosing if Ea
Luna and Iris looked at Dream, a bit surprised.Dream, as far as they knew, had never been scared of something. However,"It's alright. We're gonna be with you, so we can help you." (Iris)Iris said, wanting to comfort him. Luna grabbed his hand."You must be stressed. Let's head to bed. A lot has happened today.""...Alright."Dream nodded and let Luna pull him into the room. Iris also pranced over and jumped onto the bed while Dream climbed under the covers."Aren't you guys going to your room?" (Dream)"It's too much of a pain to climb down. We'll just stay here." (Iris)"I'm also rather tired." (Luna)The girls climbed under the covers as well and snuggled up to Dream, who was kind of relieved that they would stay." *sigh* You're body is warm." (Iris)"..."Dream looked at Iris as she hugged his right side like a body pillow. Luna also laid on his left."Hey, Dream." (Luna)"?"Dream turned his face and saw Luna's. She spoke with a soft whisper."I wanna put on a song." (Luna)Dr
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
