223 Retaliation (1/2)

Taking a few days in bed in the care of the hospital, Yunan was able to get better, at least he was not aching anymore even if he was still as limp as a wet sock.

Jesseca the nurse read the fable to Yunan over a few days, until he was able to hold the device that substituted for a book in this world, he read it over and over again but never liked or agreed with how his life turned out in the fable, ever since the day he was tricked by the goddess Venus. According to the book, the goddess took him into a dream world where he can never escape unless he loves her, he lived in that place for centuries hating the goddess for taking away his life from him for a whimsical reason like loving her.

Eventually, his hatred grew so strong he killed her over and over and over again, he killed her so many times in the most brutal of deaths. she used all the methods to torture him mentally and brainwash him while he took it out on her by killing her, eventually his rejection to her and this reality grew so strong not even the dream god could keep that dream stable enough, resulting in him escaping from the dream and killing Venus as soon as she appeared before him, he then hunted and killed every single ascended and god he could lay hands on.

His hatred for Venus has festered in that span of time to the point he hated everything, in the tale, he turned from the kind man who accepted all and rejected only those that dared cause harm, to a murderous menace that killed every one that watched harm and did nothing about it, his tyranny and madness burned so hot that he turned Burkan into his own private world, it was a beautiful world where hatred was only directed at him, he, who did not flinch when he used his own hands to murder his own friends and family because they, just like everyone else in the world, has looked away from a scene where harm was dealt to an innocent.

Although Yunan was sure about his mentality, he could never say how a century of missing his friends and loneliness in the world would change his heart, especially if the cause of it all wanted nothing but subjugation, and all he had to do was submit to her whims, Yunan knew that even with his personality, there was no telling what a period of extended time would do to him, and if that mentality left the dream with him, he would be a changed man.

Then he thought he found a clue, rejection, if this was a dream world than only rejection can break it, but if he has truly transmigrated then he would have to live a cripple's life and wallow in loneliness and isolation for he was never part of this world and he would never have the body nor the mentality to live in this strange world.

When a nurse came to check on him the next time, he asked her ”what are the rules to escape this world?” The nurse did not even lift her head from her work and recited in a mechanical way ”prove the strength of your will and be rewarded by the gods”, ”anything else?” He asked her again ” the gods watch with anticipation how long it will take for you to break” she answered.

”Will, huh?” Yunan said to himself, so this is a test, a game if you will, it seems not even the god of dreams can make each and every character in the game ”real”, but if only ”will” was what needed to be proven then it was rather easy to break out of this place.

It was a test of will, meaning that it can be manifested in this place, and if it could be manifested then it was easier to win this game with the gods, break the board.

With that thought in mind Yunan willed his body to heal, and to his surprise, he only had to focus a little bit before he could see his emaciated body grow to its healthy lustre and original form, he then experimented with moving objects and changing the pattern of behaviour of the characters in the dream.

After two weeks of trial and error, he found the correct way to get out of here, and end this month-long dream that he was forced into. First was willing his former Dragonification armour to appear, he then used its 300% buff to push his mental powers to a higher level, then he willed his status to return back to the peak, then he applied a 1000% all attributes buff. With this, his status has become too strong for a mortal, but Yunan was not done yet, he converted all his attributes to Wisdom effectively making his mental powers almost unmatched.

Once his mental power had reached such height, manifesting his will became as easy as thought, so, he made the dream world around him disintegrate leaving behind nothing but the nurse Jesseca and a gentleman in formal well fitted clothes. ”so what gave it up?” Said the man as he put his arm around the waist of the nurse ” I thought my honey trap could keep you in here for a few decades at least, she was made with you in mind, the one to rope you into the family life.

”The exaggerated story made it easier, and the clue about rejection was a good thing but the mechanical nurses were your only mistake” Yunan waved his hand and Jesseca too turned into dust and floated away ”you sure have made a bigger mistake though” said Yunan as he started willing his mental power to grow infinitely ”giving me a world where I can overpower the creator is not something you should have done, now you and all those who are watching are my prisoners”. Yunan waved his hand and hundreds of men and women, young, old and children appeared from thin air, all of them were shocked and exasperated.
