When Dream woke up, he saw that it was dark outside.'Is it night?'[It's actually morning. You slept through the rest of that day and night.]'...Oh.'Dream laid there and stared at the ceiling as his brain slowly boot up."...How are they?"[They's had one more small skirmish, but otherwise nothing. I've tasked 5 drones in total to monitor them and their surroundings.]"...Ok"As he laid there, his mind went through everything that happened yesterday. Like, where did they go wrong? When were they spotted? And how the hell did those foxes lie in wait for 20 years? That's an absurd amount of time. At least, from Dream's perspective it was.But there's no chance for a do-over. Now, he's by himself. Other than worry, there's nothing he can do for the family. Anything he did personally would only burden them. So keeping his distance was the best answer."...I need to level up, huh."[I already have targets. Bears, birds, wolves, reptiles, bulls. I'm just not sure what level they are. You
Since Dream had the rest of the day after the wolf hunt, he decided not to waste it.He got back to his small little house and decided that the first thing he needed to do was expand the place. He couldn't work on anything when there was barely enough space for a toilet.What he decided to do was make himself a lake house. Though the house would be a bit unconventional. Since he was by himself, he only needed a place to sleep, a place to bathe, and a place to work. So he made himself those three rooms.The first was the bedroom, which stayed simple. A bed, and a carpet for his feet. He also created space where he could eat food, which consisted of basically a table and a chair.Second was the bathroom. This also stayed simple. A bathtub and other essentials. Interesting thing was, as he began climbing in strength, he found himself not needing to go to the bathroom. Sophia said that it was his body being more efficient in addition to slight changes in his genetics. A mutation if you wi
After the bullet finished it's work and killed the wolf, Dream nodded.'I should see about getting Imbue and Scribe to max level. Seems easy enough.'[The we should try more dynamic instructions. Here, I got one.]Sophia began writing to the next bullet. At the same time, all the bystander wolves who saw their kin die began to properly freak out.*Oouuwww!*Howls were let out and they all began running every which way. Many instantly darted for their caves while others began patrolling the area, sniffing for threats. Dream also saw some wolves turn invisible, though he could still sense them. The entire den was on high alert.'So what's this bullet?'Dream inspected the enchantment Sophia was making.[The gas variation. It'll collect gas as it travels and when it plants itself in the target, explodes.]'...Damn. Alright.'Dream took aim at one of the wolves that turned invisible, firing at it's gut.*Dsh**POP*The bullet landed and the gas was released, causing the wolf's body to sud
For the rest of that day, Dream kept on making mana cubes.As each cube was made and began gathering, he would drain their small supplies of mana and assist in making another cube. By the end of the day, he had made 200 cubes that could hold C- levels of mana.Not only that, but he did some tests with the mana ball. The basic theory was that the ball would suck in mana and spit it towards Dream, thereby increasing the mana density around him and making it easier for him to regenerate mana. Since the balls could cover more area, all of them together would supply lots of mana.So the first thing he did was enchant 20 balls of iron. They weren't that big. He could fit a few in his palm. Each of them had the vortex and could store a little bit of mana for basic function.When he had them made, he stepped outside and spread them out. They covered him like a dome and spread out evenly about 30 feet from him. When they were activated, they worked as expected and began pushing mana towards hi
The wolf felt as if its head was on fire after the ball appearedThis was indeed the heat bomb that Dream made. It was designed to heat everything within the vicinity as quickly as possible using every drop of mana it had. The only downside was that it didn't distinguish between friendly and enemy. It was more of a 'to whom it may concern'. And since Dream was also right next to it, he was on the list.The wolf immediately began regretting its decision. It crashed into Dream and they both went to the floor.The wolf tried to spit out the ball, but its teeth were in the way. Dream had brought out the ball inside its maws and connected the metal to its teeth using some heat. The wolf wouldn't be able to spit out the ball unless it removed a few of its fangs.*ARRRR!!!*As the ball continued heating the wolf's face, it began to cry out more and more. It didn't even have the mind to remember it was in a battle. It's skin began to melt, its blood boiled along with all the other fluids in i
"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
