Dream was in his hotel room.

The torture actually didn't last long. Mainly because some guards had been alerted.

That doesn't mean that the pain the two men experienced was any lesser. Although it was probably more psychological than physical.

The ways of torture don't only involve various tools to inflict more pain. It's also about manipulating the terror they feel from anticipating pain. Use their own mind against them.

Although, a massive amount of pain also does the trick. Dream spared no effort in dicing them up like onions.

By the end, the two men were nothing more than scattered limbs and a pile of flesh, though despite that, they hadn't died. Event though they had wished for it.

It was when Riddick finally spoke about guards coming that Dream stopped and everyone left. They didn't even bother to make sure the men were dead. If they were, great! If not, they would either be scared for life, permanently disabled, or both. Win either way.

No evidence other than witnesses was left

    Dream and the others walked over to the East gate to exit the city.Once they had exited, they found a place around a mile away where nobody was watching and Dream summoned out his jeep.It was a Jeep Wrangler and it also had a bit of trunk space. Perfect for four people and getting through rough terrain.Once he summoned it out, he got in the driver's seat and told everyone else to hop in. Although that may have been expecting too much.Iris looked at him in confusion."Uhh. How do we get in?" (Iris)"Right. Forgot you guys are cavemen." (Dream)Dream got back out and showed them how to open and close doors as well as the seats they needed to sit it."It's a carriage basically. Just open the door and sit in it like the helicopter." (Dream)"Cool." (Iris)"There's two seats in the back and two in the front. Riddick you get shotgun." (Dream)"Shotgun?" (Riddick)"Just come here." (Dream)Dream put Riddick in the passenger and the girls in the back. He didn't bother buckling them in.On

    "So Scarlet, what're your skills?" (Dream)Dream looked towards Iris so she could give her answer. Besides [Devour] and some fire magic, he didn't know anything else."I have [Fire Manipulation], [Devour], and [Basic Air Magic]. I also have [Close Combat Mastery] and [Expanded Stomach], which goes with my devour skill.""...So that's why you eat so much. And Fire manipulation? So you have control over fire and can create it?""Ya pretty much. Though more fire and precise control costs more mana.""...Then why did you say you have no ranged abilities?! You can throw fire lances like Luna, or spew out fire like a flammenwerfer!""I-I have no idea what that is. But I don't have any ranged because fire is hard to control! Luna's water is easy! I barely know how to create a blade of it by my hand! That's why I said I was melee. It's just easier for me to slash and burn..."Iris turned her head away in embarrassment from Dream's scrutinizing gaze. Meanwhile, Dream could already figure out th

    Dream didn't have to go very far before he started sensing enemies.At first, he came across groups of 10 -20 crawlers. But as he kept exploring, more and more started showing up.This wasn't too much of a problem as he had [Erase Presence] which kept him hidden. But when he began the fight, he always had to start running as they chased him.The crawlers had surprisingly good senses. They could pick up on any movement within 100 meters of them. So whenever Dream fired a round, his stealth was dampened which alerted the crawlers to him. He also couldn't hide the effects his body had on the grass and leaves when he touched it while moving.Not only that, but running away was very tiring. He knew he couldn't keep it up so he started using hit and run tactics.First he would toss out a flashbang, which worked very well, and then shot as many as possible. He would keep throwing them out until the crawlers scattered. By that time though, many would be dead and he just had to chase down any r

    When Dream woke up, it was already daylight out.*yawwnnn*A yawn graced the room as Dream sat up while rubbing his eyes. He was feeling...surprisingly good?"Everything is so clear...Like my senses are better. What happened?"[Since you worked your brain so hard, it recovered and became stronger. Like a muscle.]"Nice! I do indeed feel fresh. It's already daytime, I imagine that I overslept a little."[If a little means for a whole day and night then yes, I guess you did too.]"That long?!"[It has been 33 hours since you fell asleep.]"....Damn. Alright, you know where everyone is?"[The connection with Luna points to a nearby restaurant. They're probably eating breakfast since you couldn't make it.]"Ok. I guess I'll go join them"Dream hopped out of bed and cleaned himself up before leaving the hotel.After walking down a street, Dream saw the restaurant they were in. He walked up to the door and entered. When he did, he saw many people looking towards a specific table. Dream knew

    "Did you guys level up?" (Dream)"No." x2Neither of the girls leveled up. Though they got most of the experience, it was also split."If we can kill several more of these, we should be good." (Dream)"Ya. But they're pretty far apart. We only found these two after so long." (Iris)Dream nodded at that. Going at this rate, they might barely be able to get their classes before night falls."Oh well. Luna, take this knife and if you could skin the bears, please. We still need the hide." (Dream)"No problem." (Luna)Luna took the knife Dream gave her and went to work on the bears. Iris also helped her.As they were doing that, Dream walked over to the bear he shot. He wanted to check something.When he shot the bear, he actually noticed that there was no brain splatter. This could only mean one thing.Dream bent down and inspected the bear's head."Sure enough. I only see an entry wound. No exit. So even this railgun couldn't punch through the skull entirely. Though...This side of the sk

    *Thud**Cough*Dream hit the floor on his back with a heavy thud. This only served to intensify the pain from his wounds as well as vomit some blood that was in his stomach.'Fuck! It hurts... Breathing Hurts! I can't move my arm... Sophia? How bad is it?'[...The wounds are lethal. Multiple arteries have been cut inside your abdomen. The axillary artery in your collar has been totally severed. You need immediate attention from either Riddick or Luna. 18% of total blood volume has been lost and rising by the second.]Sophia gave it to him straight. In fact, she was already working to stop the flow of blood in his body. Every little thing she could do to prolong his survival.Unfortunately, the ones he needed help from couldn't act so quickly."D-Dream? Dream?! W-What happened?!" (Luna)Luna stuttered as she was still shocked by what happened. Dream had hardly left her for several seconds before he was tossed on the ground in a bloody mess. Did he just walk up to the bear and get stabb

  • Magus Of The Endless   Class Types

    It took 10 days before Dream could finally get on his feet.Such a fast recovery would be unheard of on Earth, but he isn't on earth. To give a reference, people who donate blood give about 10% of their blood volume, which takes several weeks to recover from before you can donate again.Dream had lost over 60% of his blood volume, but with Sophia, good food, and his high vitality, he was able to get the majority back in 10 days. He wasn't totally 100%, but he could live normally. Which he gladly did.Dream hated the fact that he needed to be taken care of. But this also let him know just how good the girls were to him.They were by his side every day. They didn't even go hunting. He had told them that they should get their classes already, but they refused. They would just stay on his bed, sometimes in their fox form, and cuddle. It would have been heavenly if he wasn't paralyzed.They didn't want to leave him. He really felt fuzzy at that thought.But the morning when he recovered, h

  • Magus Of The Endless   Predators

    While the girls were thinking about their choices, Dream spoke to Riddick."There's only one problem I can see right now. They haven't used any weapons yet. Wouldn't it be good for them to do that? The difference a weapon can make is big. Though I don't doubt their magical abilities, it would still be good for them." (Dream)"That is true. But at the same time, in Iris' case, it could be worse instead to choose something like swordsman instead of fire mage. It was the same problem I had with you wanting to take on multiple specialties. If they divide their abilities and class, it can greatly hinder them, as a class can greatly amplify your abilities, if chosen correctly." (Riddick)"Very true." (Dream)Dream nodded at that reasoning. They could always learn to use a weapon as a supplement to their core abilities as well. So they wouldn't need to choose a class for it. Not that they had a choice right now either way.The two men sat there for several minutes in silence. Though they wer

    "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

    Fasle

    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.

    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

    Schism

    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?
