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
"...."After an unknown amount of time, Dream opened his eyes.The first thing he saw was the wooden roof of the cabin. The second, was Sophia.[Good morning.]"..."Dream saw her face next to his. They were in a bed, and she was laying next to him.[How are you feeling?]"...I don't like being torn apart."Dream spoke as he regained feeling to his limbs. He twitched his fingers, toes, and felt the muscles throughout his body. Looks like he was in one piece.[Through gaining power, increasing the strength of your soul, and having your new body, your mind has become much stronger. For a normal person, disregarding the fact that they would never survive half of what happened to you, the trauma would likely destroy them. But it's an interesting thing, what happens to you mentally as you rise in power.]"I guess."Sophia traced her finger along his chest as she spoke. Dream listened to his slow heartbeat. With each beat, he remembered the shocking power of the copy's punches pounding on h
As Riddick was beginning the fight for his life, Dream was ending his.*Thud*"Oof..."*Click*[I win.]Dream laid on the floor, looking up at Sophia who was pointing a gun to his face."...No fair."[All is fair in love and war.]"This isn't war."[You're right, its love.]Sophia put out a hand. Dream grabbed it and was pulled up.The training he had been doing was all with Sophia. And they had done a variety of things over the last dozen hours. Mainly combat.Sophia trained him in some martial arts combined with the use of his weapons. There was no particular goal other than to beat her. But in the last 12 hours, that never happened.This was the reason Dream said that it wasn't fair. It was the hundredth time that he was thrown to the floor and the thousandth time he was beaten. And the reason was that Sophia knew every damn martial art there was. He was never able to beat her in anything.[You've been getting better though. Definitely better than you were 12 hours ago.]"Thanks."
*A few minutes earlier...*"I was right. Damn..."Dream was still flying towards the battle, but he still had some ways to go. At this point though, the connection between him and Luna was cut off. He couldn't feel her, and the tugging he had felt was gone.[We're almost there. Another minute or so before they come into view.]Dream narrowed his eyes and buckled down, putting a bit more mana into his flight.Eventually, he got within a couple miles of the battlefield. He stopped his flight and hovered in the sky.[There!]Sophia blipped his vision and Dream turned. He saw two men. One on the floor, and one standing above the other.[The one on the floor is Riddick. No sign of anyone else. Including the girls.]'...So they were beat. What's the Old Man's status?'[On the verge of death. The one above him is also very weak, but compared to Riddick, is in much better shape.]Dream nodded. As he was about to prepare a plan to head down there though, he saw the unknown man pick up Riddick
As Dream had guessed, Riddick did indeed get scared.As soon as the mana wave hit, he popped out of bed."...A class 3?"Riddick was put on full alert, though when he remembered where he was, he calmed down a bit. There was no way those foxes could've tracked him here."Where's the boy?"Riddick walked outside the house and could sense a huge source of mana a little ways away. He hadn't really noticed it before since his mind was on other things.He walked around the workshop and saw a big capsule made of intertwined roots. The mana fluctuations came from inside.He walked up to it and pressed his hand against the roots. This was when he felt the true extent of the mana being moved."...Good god. What are these roots? Are these for the trees? Why is there so much mana moving through them? And...Boy? You're in there?""Old Man! Don't come in here!""You are in there!"Riddick exclaimed as Dream's voice came from inside the capsule. He was in the center of those mana fluctuations!"I'm
*1 week later*"...I have risen."Dream opened his eyes with an announcement. When he did, he began adjusting to his senses."...This isn't too different."As he sat up, he noticed that other than feeling a bit quicker to process his surroundings, it didn't feel like that big of a change.[It won't feel different, but I can assure you that your processing speed has drastically improved. You're processing your senses in real-time without delay, and you can control your motor functions instantaneously also without delay. You'll notice this the next time you get into a fight. But you can also look at your status.]"Oh?
