Origin Of Evil 93 Talk

Benjamin asked "What grade did you get for your mission?"

Dorian smiled and asked "What do you think?" Benjamin said "You completed the main mission ahead of time and did some missions, so I would say… Amazing?"

Dorian asked "What's before and after Amazing?" Benjamin smiled and said "There is SSS, SSS+, Perfect, Amazing, a few others."

Dorian grinned and said "I got Epic." Benjamin smiled and said "That's impressive, only a few ever get this, but for you to get it in your first world… Epic indeed."

Dorian smiled and said "After I came back here, I explored a bit, and once in the Market area I had to kill some Sheep, nothing major. Then, I headed to Eden, where I met someone with whom I created a guild. Then, once I came back to the Market, I was targeted by the wife of the man I killed, whom I killed too."

Benjamin's face turned serious as he said "So you really are the Wolf? Your guild, it's Origin of Evil?" Dorian nodded, and asked "Is it bad?"

Benjamin suddenly started laughing and said "Bad? Of course not, Predators and Sheep are in a constant war, killing those Sheep was good. And if that Lightning Star guy dares to target you once you ascend, we can kill him."

But Dorian shook his head and said "I want to challenge him myself. And with [Angel Wings], even if I can't kill him he can dream about killing me. Anyway, I killed and enslaved the spirits of the Sheep who attacked me, and got their stuff before going to buy some things. Then, I upgraded my attributes and abilities before I was confronted by a guy called Erudit and his lackeys, you know who he is?"

Benjamin nodded and said "He does know some tricks, but he isn't much of a threat. His two men though, Rock and Hatari, they are respectively the number 1 and 2 among Evolvers."

Dorian smiled and said "Then Evolvers are really too weak. I beat the two of them easily without even using my skills. As for that Erudit, if we weren't in his shop he would be dead."

Benjamin looked at Dorian curiously and asked "How are your attributes?" Dorian focused a little and made his status window appear before him. It wasn't really the status window, but an illusion he created with his mind, like the chairs they were sitting on.

Benjamin looked at Dorian in shock and asked "All your pure stats are at 30 after only one world?!" Dorian smiled and said "I found the right ability books, and I had enough DC."

Benjamin shook his head and said "You don't understand. Dreamland will change the way it sees you, and your next mission will be very dangerous. I suppose you will be sent to hunt Ascendants."

Dorian nodded and said "I guessed so, but it doesn't matter. Evolvers, Ascendants, and soon Transcendants, whoever they are, I will crush them."

Benjamin shook his head and said "You don't understand, Ascendants are really too powerful, you can't just kill them this easily… You need to train in the real world for at least a few months or even years before going."

Dorian scratched his head and said "That's the problem, I don't really have this choice. Dreamland doesn't let me choose, I have to get in Dreamland every 7 days."

Benjamin frowned and said "That's problematic, you need to be careful. They may be Sheep, the gap between Evolvers and Ascendants is a big one."

Dorian shook his head and said "I have faith in myself. And there is still that world, I can grow stronger using the elements inside."

Benjamin thought about it for a moment before saying "Indeed, that's what you should do. Do you know how worlds and missions difficulties work?" Dorian nodded, so Benjamin said "For Hunts, it is different. Even though it is your mission, you won't be in your world, but in the other person's world. That's why, the world you will be sent in won't be a 2nd difficulty world, but more a 5th, 6th or even 7th."

Dorian shrugged and said "Does it matter to my mission?" Benjamin nodded and said "A lot. With how strong you have become, the resources you get in a 2nd difficulty world would be very minor, you would have way less objects. But since it is a more difficult world, even without the mission you should be able to get great rewards from the world itself, allowing you to get stronger."

Dorian nodded and said "I'll do that then. But I wonder, is there any way to get items from you?" Benjamin shook his head and said "No, in the same way you won't be able to share your manual with me, it is impossible for people of vastly different strengths to give each other items. You need to be in the same rank, or the limit is at one rank difference, but the price paid is too high."

Dorian asked "What about training me? If we have an ability in common, you can teach me to improve my experiences points faster, right?"

Benjamin shook his head and said "Again, it is impossible. You can train with someone else, but it won't enhance your experience points. The only ones who can teach Dreamers are the originals in the world, and Dreamers can only teach people who haven't come in contact with Dreamland."

Dorian sighed "That's a lot of restrictions. Well, anyway, that was my story. But let's talk about the Hope Empire, do you know who the Emperor is?" Benjamin nodded and said "Of course, but I can't tell you, you shall see later."

Dorian shrugged "It doesn't matter. What role do I play in there, exactly?" Benjamin replied "Even though you are my grandson, you still have to start at the bottom layer. For now, you can't play any role, but once you become an Ascender I will tell you more."

Dorian nodded and said "It's alright. I have another question though. Do I absolutely need to be asleep to enter Dreamland?" Benjamin nodded and said "You do. It is called Dreamland after all, it wouldn't make much sense if you could enter there awake."

Dorian asked "What if I want to go back to Dreamland before going to my next world?" Benjamin replied "You need to will for it before falling asleep, and you will waken up in Dreamland."

Dorian said "Good. Now, I think we should return to our bodies and enjoy the day. That's why we came in the first place." Benjamin smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, the other members of the family didn't know a thing about what just happened, except for Pauline of course who could feel everything.

For the rest of the day, the family spent their time together, normally. Only after dinner did they leave their grandparents house. Once home, Dorian got his first real sleep in a long time. He didn't make any dream, and woke up as normal the next day, still on Earth.

He spent the next day doing nothing, just chilling in his room. It was enjoyable. Like that, the rest of the week quickly pa.s.sed, until it had been seven days on Earth. For the others, it was a totally normal day, but for Dorian, it meant he would go back in Dreamland. He would go to his next world directly though, but rather join Carla in Dreamland first, receive the money for what he sold, and maybe shop some things.
