I had a strange dream last night, but I should get used to them by now…
When I stood up from the bed in the Moonfang royal castle, I felt that my soul was rather large.
I exuded a calm Aura, almost naturally… it had a strange feeling to it, yet it was very comforting.
Could this be related to my Aura Skill evolving last night through that dream?
Not only that changed, but I also obtained a few strange skills.
I acquired a new 'Inner Realm' Skill, named 'Inner Realm; Dream World'… it seems to be related to that dream, and perhaps that god?
Wait for a second, I also obtained his blessing? The blessing of that fictional god of my dreams… it means that it is real somehow?
I was trying to process things slowly, as I sighed and began to snack on an Ambrosia which I had stored in my Item Box, previously produced by one of my production-oriented Slime Clones.
My wives began to wake up as well as I was opening a small portal to the 'Dream World'.
By activating the skill, a strange drift in space would appear.
I wonder if just like the Soul World, the Dream World is inside of my body somewhere?
I decided to take a peek and…
The vast outer space greeted my sight, countless solar systems, planets, stars, and galaxies. And a presence from within immediately sensed me.
”Bilililili!”
It was the god that was born from the universe I created in my dreams… and this 'Dream World' was that universe as well.
”Err… hello there, I didn't think that we would ever see each other again, but I am glad you're fine,” I said.
”Bililiilili!”
The Dream God was happy to see me and tried to touch me with its tentacles, probably to hug me or something, but it was incapable of getting outside of the Dream World, its tentacles would dissipate into pink dust.
”Bubublilili?”
”It seems that you cannot exist in my world… Perhaps I could figure a way to bring you here when I develop this Skill better… for now-”
”Masta? What is that?” asked Rimuru, who had recently woken up, glancing at me with sleepy eyes.
”Is that…? A portal to your Inner Realm?” asked Zehe.
”No, this one is different. Look at that… are those stars? And what are those spherical things floating in that night? They give me the impression of the moon, but are colorful” said Nesiphae.
All the girls began to peek on the portal, and the Dream God became flustered, trying to hide out before he was seen.
”It looks like a massive octopus,” said Gaby.
”B-Bibilili…” muttered the Dream God.
”Ah, I suppose I will have to explain to you the very thing that went on in my dreams last night, it was quite freaky… Let us do it while having breakfast though,”
As we enjoyed breakfast with my wives and my children who had recently joined us by crossing through the Inner Realm: Soul World, I explained several things to them. From the evolution of my Aura into 'Divine Aura', the dream where I created a universe and a god, and the new Inner Realm: Dream World Skill, which seems to connect with this place.
”T-This is something that only Honey would be capable of doing, I suppose… but even then, I can't help but be baffled…” muttered Zehe.
”Guu! Can we go explore the Dream World? It looks so vast!” said Rimuru.
”Isn't it more like… a Dream Universe though? It even has planets and all…” said Amiphossia.
”Planets? What are planets?” asked Ailine.
”I think they're like our world, but many,” said Vudia.
”…Eh?” Ailine did not seem to understand.
”Well, to put it bluntly, the place where we live in the Realm of Vida, which used to be part of a planet named Genesis. However, by most people, all the realms are still considered the world of Genesis… even though it had already lost its original shape long ago,” said Charlotte.
”Indeed, our world could be considered to be formerly a planet. But it is now more like an agglomeration of its pieces that exist in a space created by the World's Will and the Supreme God of Space and Creation named 'Astral Road'. But indeed, there are supposed to be more planets, though life in them hasn't been found, not even by gods, and traveling through the vast space is dangerous even to gods to an extent, and also useless unless they want to gather resources for such planets. However, outside planets are said to be filled with different atmospheres and do not possess mana, so the materials harvested from them are mostly useless for gods, who can create such materials without even thinking,” said Zehe.
”I see… from where you got such info, Zehe?” I asked.
”I've been chatting with the Gods that serve Honey when I am free, alongside Redgaria and Herbell, we had learned a lot about such things,” said Zehe.
”I wonder… is it really a Dream World inside of your Inner Realm, Kireina? Are the things tangible or are they like illusions that dissipate or cannot be touched?” asked Charlotte.
