"So if we're going to do this, we need a super-safe safe house. I'm immediately thinking of just digging like 300 feet underground and sealing myself in a steel box. Thoughts?"Dream, who was very paranoid about being vulnerable, went to Sophia for her input.[Well, I guess I agree with going underground. Sure, why not.]"Alright."Dream got out of bed and went to his workshop. When he entered, Sophia began digging a hole in the floor.The hole went straight down and was a very deep hole. And it only took moments to form. Huge amounts of dirt and rock were pulled out and throw aside. Eventually, Dream had a hole about 100 meters deep."Great. That was very easy."[A result of the class advancement. Now jump inside.]"Huh?"[Just go.]"Alright."Dream didn't fight her and jumped down the hole. Though as he began falling with nothing to help him land, he immediately regretted it."Ahh! I'm gonna die! Grab wall!"*Thunk*Dream panicked and threw his arm into the wall, burying it to the e
Dream approached the material shop and went through the door.*Ding*A bell sounded as he pushed open the door. Right after entering, Dream could immediately hear chatter.This shop wasn't an unknown one. Even when he came last time there were at least a dozen people in the shop doing business.The shop was actually rather big as it had to fit all the materials and have places for people to buy and sell. There were more than a few employees, and Dream had no doubt that this place raked in money. Everyone needed materials and this place really did have it all."How can I help you sir?"A lady walked up to Dream shortly after he arrived."Hi. I could actually use your help. I'm looking for Mithril.""Mithril? Any particular grade?""That depends on what you have.""I see. Come with me."The lady turned and began walking to the side of the shop. Dream followed.After going through a door that led into a hallway, Dream was led to a private room."You can wait here. Someone will come to he
Dream stood there next to the cage with the alligator. He awkwardly looked at the reptile.'If it knew what I did, It would tear me apart. Or try to at least.'[Would've gotten contracted either way.]'True. I wonder what he's getting for me. I don't think he has anything that I need. Nor want.'[Well, he's a tamer. Maybe he wants you to accept an animal.]'This is not the best time for me to be getting a pet. I'm literally about to hibernate. Should I just run?'[Let's give it a chance. He's trying to give back, so let him.]'*sigh* Fine.'Dream gave up and accepted his fate. It wasn't so bad though. Sure he wasn't expecting anything in return, but getting or giving gifts shouldn't feel like a burden. He wouldn't stress John out by not accepting anything. It could look bad if he did that instead."Dream! Come back here."John yelled from the back room. Dream closed the cage and walked over."Yes?""Come here."Dream peered into the room and found John at the table. In front of him wa
Over the next 13 days, Dream and Sophia lived with each other in the cabin. And one could imagine what it was filled with.Dream was no stranger to sex. Back on Earth, he had been with his late girlfriend. So he was definitely experienced. Though when doing the deed with Sophia, he had been surprised about a couple of things, the biggest being the cleanliness. It was his world after all, no different to paradise. They didn't have to deal with 'earthly' concerns.Another surprise was the stamina. The best part was that there was no stopping. Or at least no need to. Again, this was his world, and if they wanted to do something, then they could do it. And they did it. A lot.Sophia making breakfast in only an apron? Bang. Taking a shower that there's no need for? Bang. When Sophia got turned on? Bang. Watching a movie in underwear? Bang. Just because? Bang.They were like animals in heat. And they loved every hour of it. And yes, it went on in hour increments. But believe it or not, it g
"Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"Dream asked Sophia for clarification. What the hell was an angel doing on Earth?[This picture was two days ago. And this isn't the only instance. I'll give you a rundown.]"Alright."[Two days ago, angels appeared all over the world. In total, there were 7 that were just as massive as the one in the picture that appeared in various places on the globe. But there were also regular, human sized angels that came to certain people on Earth. Primarily, the powerful ability users. And there was one reason they were there, Demons.]"They came for Demons?"[Correct. Two days before the angels appeared, I had actually found traces of an unknown entity in certain rural areas of Russia. I had chopped it down to a new species of animal and not investigated it, merely posting a notification for those near the area on the Seeker program. But after the angels came, they made it clear. Demons were invading the world."Now what are Demons?"[Apparently, they're
Dream walked through the fog and came up on the same root wall as they always did.He went to go and climb it. When he got to the top, he was greeted with the same amazing sight."...This really never gets old."Dream looked on at the green valley in front of his eyes. The tall green grass, the trees scattered about the expanse, the big lake providing all the freshwater for the habitat, and all the animals roaming about. He looked across the valley and could see the opposing side of the dome. The opposite side was at least 2.5 miles away and gave a full view of its 670-meter tall supertrees.He looked up and saw the branches of the supertrees converging, making the roof of the dome. The pillars of light coming through the roof made for an even more spectacular view, as well as making it so that plants could still grow and it wasn't eternally dark."*sigh* This place truly is a natural oddity. And is it me, or is the mana density higher in here than outside?"[It is. Though not by too
[I think this Dome might have a core.]"A core? Are those a thing?"[Well, it's not like it wouldn't be. It'd be almost like a battery of mana. We've already created our own in the form of those mana cubes. Though we just kept them as storages, but if you were to use it for something then it would become a core.]"True. So this core must be powering the dome. That would honestly make sense considering the atrocious size of those trees."[We should check it out. That's probably what's creating those illusion barriers as well. And if it's enchanted, we can take control and update the fog to confuse the animals.]"Sweet. So it's straight down?"[Yup.]"Then let's go."Dream activated his magic and dove straight into the water. And like a fish through a stream, glided through the water without resistance.'...It's a bit deeper than I thought.'As Dream traveled down, he found that the lake wasn't shallow at all. He traveled down a few hundred meters before seeing the roots of all the tree
Dream stood there for a bit reveling in the awesome design of his body.He had always been aware of its design and the materials used. But this really was the first time he understood its capabilities. Being able to take on 50 caliber bullets with just his skin and muscles was a ridiculous concept no matter how he looked at it. But actually feeling it and seeing it for himself began to change that.He finally knew why his guns became ineffective against monsters at a certain point and why it took enchanting and building his own to be able to really dominate his enemies. Mana was just that powerful of an enhancement. And everything on the planet was built and designed around mana. So naturally, everything here would be better in every way. It put him at a serious disadvantage, but now, that disadvantage was reduced.He now has a body that surpasses anything you could find on this planet. Back on Earth, it would be a technological and biological marvel. Something like him had never been
"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
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
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
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
A month after Dream officially spread his business, word spread like wildfire.Dream knew it would take a while for publicity to reach him. In truth, he had actually expected a month to be all he needed for his business to explode. And sure enough, it happened exactly as he thought.Dream's bots were too useful. They were manufactured power, something unseen in the wider universe. Dream didn't know of any others, god or otherwise, that could make use of physical energy and arcane transmutation to create bots capable of crushing anything above the class 3 level.After all, normal power was individualized. A person had to increase the power of their souls through skills and levels, opening up larger energy reserves that could be used to move magic with greater power. But these bots didn't need the energy reserves of a soul. They could use energy from physical sources and convert it into magical power.While this conversion wasn't infinite, relying on enchantments to transmute, Dream mad
Orin nodded at Dream."Very well. Your services are welcome. We fight a great many battles with Hell, and these disposable soldiers will help us mitigate losses. Of course, you will be properly compensated. What do you wish for?""Well, first and foremost, I have a sister who needs training. You see, she's an asura who happened to inherit the so called Blood Drop Stance. I'd like her to receive tutelage.""I understand. How about I take her as a disciple?""I like that idea."Dream readily agreed. Of course, Melody's life would be out of his hands if she were being taught by the sword god, but on the other hand, there was no better way for her power to explosively grow. Dream was sure she'd like this idea, and to some extent, he trusted this sword god."Other than that, I need materials. These bots require great sources of power, and strong materials help greatly.""Of course. You'll be paid for their use, and upon destruction, we'll give you the materials to create another. You'll co
The Red Eye clan was exceptionally busy. At the moment, they were making final preparations. Many just stayed in their homes as they were instructed, while people from all over the planet returned to their roots. Like that, everything associated with the Red Eye clan concentrated on their cities.Patriarch Star sat in the capital city. Dream had told them to gather in a select few cities and wait. He also gave them a deadline. At that time, he would move them all, though he didn't say how.They were given plenty of time, and now, they were finally ready. Now, they just waited.That was when Patriarch Star sensed something. Standing, he left the building he was in and looked at the sky.A mile above the city, a hole in space opened. This hole expanded from one mile wide to a thousand miles wide, and it didn't stop there. Everyone on the ground was baffled as the sky became black, turning the city below pitch black as well.After a few seconds though, everyone felt suspended before the
After a few hours, Dream was able to get a hold of the situation.Everyone in Dream's immediate family was marked, their souls taking on this symbol of the ascendency. They also gained titles, but since they weren't Dream's children, their titles were special. His parents had a title displaying their position above Dream and his siblings received a title reflecting their position beside him. Of course, they didn't suddenly gain power equal or above his, or any authority.But surprisingly, they did still gain power. Dream's parents had risen to the class 3 realm, while only one of Dream's brothers became a class 4. While they couldn't compare to Melody's power when she was at the same level, compared to the general populace, they were actually normal.But now, both of Dream's parents spontaneously broke through to have class 4 power. Even Dream's brothers had a burst in power. Not even Melody was spared, gaining more power than all of them.And Dream could feel his effects on them. The
"What the hell just happened?!"As Dream and Tersa hung around outside the planet, there was a ship that suddenly sped toward them. Out came a panicking Melody. Behind her in the ship was their mother."Hi mom!"Dream waved like a child when he saw his mother, ignoring Melody's shock. She waved back, although a bit absentmindedly.Seeing Dream's mother, Tersa became a bit curious, looking at Shannon with wide eyes. At the same time, Melody poked at Dream."What did you do?! Since when do you merge planets just because?!""I didn't do it just because. I did it because I want to take Earth along with me. Now you can see mom and dad whenever you want.""That's true, but at least make some preparations first! You literally just tore the planet apart! People are going crazy! Besides, you left some people behind.""Left people? Oh!"Suddenly, Dream remembered something.Earth had advanced to create megastructures and navigate space. How could they have not colonized other planets like Mars?
