---------------

Since that day time continued to flow on its rhythmic momentum. Days went by then months then like a flash 4 years went by.

Currently, I was in a training room in the sixth layer training with swords in my hands. Two swords to be exact. Inside both of my hand was two silver swords that were 1.25 meter nearly reaching my chest as my height grew to 1'50 meter over 4 years. I positioned myself while my hand was on the back with the sword. In front of me 50 meters away was a practice dummy. I started to run as swords that were in my grip were also moving along with me.

After running a little more distance I accelerated my speed and bent my body a little to the front while keeping my speed intact when I was only two meters away from the dummy I gave my left foot a little push and launched myself in the air while rotating 360° few times while swords that was on my hand went through the dummy. While I was still in midair 2 meters up from the ground floor I put all my weight in my hand and tried to pierce the floor so that I could make a stand upside down on my hand with swords while my legs in midair.

But all that efforts have gone to waste when I saw my current strength could not even put a dent in the ground as it was made of divine-grade materials.

Seeing this I adjusted my strength and flipped midair steadily landing on the floor. Then I looked behind only to see the dummy was cut into 4 pieces.

Seeing the result I nodded and went to the corner of the training room where many types of weapons were stationed. Then I trained with those weapons for quite some time then took my leave and teleported myself into the surface layer to take a bath. Not teleportation but more like a space jump it was one of the special skills that only the master of this place can use.

After taking off my clothes I came near to the pond and there I could see my reflection. Nothing important changed in my body except my highlighted growth and my baby fat which is now gone. Even after all this time sleeping almost 20 hours a day my body didn't gain any weight on the contrary when I woke up every time I would repeatedly feel my body is becoming more and more perfect. Right now down to my stomach, I could feel 6 packs already forming.

I jumped in the pond and let my body afloat along with the primal chaos grade nectar. Then I closed my eyes and thought about all the things that happened in the last four years. At first, I woke up in this unknown place with no prior knowledge then I was asked to go to a strange fetus, to which I unknowingly agreed.

Now that I think about it I asked her why did I believe her so easily. I mean it was strange to believe a person who you only heard for a few minutes furthermore it was your first time conversation with her. When I asked her about this she made a cute gesture by putting one hand on her head making a Sound "teheee" and said that she manipulated my decision by using some unusual method. Hearing her I narrowed my eyes and told her she is banned to come into my room for 2 years.

Well after that day she had always been apologizing by reasoning that it was to prevent the dream course from acting. But I think the reason she was making it haste so that she was lonely. When I asked what is this curse and how did I get this curse on me. She said she didn't know exactly how but she told me when I was trying to steal the "concept of a dream" from someone named "Eternal Dream" that person on his/her deathbed used all the remaining power to create a curse and put it in me. At first, with my power, it was not that troublesome but when I was completing my requirements to create a new physique I needed to condense my soul to the utmost limit while doing it that parasite curse activated and I was dreaming for a long time.

This curse will make you live different lives every different time when you dream and try to make you forget your real self. What can be more dangerous than that forgetting yourself?

Well, that's why I forgave her after 20 days. She was so much happy knowing I forgave her she immediately cried for nearly an entire hour while hugging me making my dress all wet with tears. I made a mental note from that day to not punish her often every time she makes a mistake.

After that day I always spent 20 hours sleeping while four hours sometimes training with weapons or just relaxing in the pond with her, sometimes I also go to the library to read books about weapons arts.

Yeah, my life did not have that much thrill in it. But I can feel my leisure life will be over soon. After all, today is the day my soul would merge with my new body perfectly with this I can do many things that I can't do in the past. After taking a bath I didn't teleport myself to my bedroom as usual. As for Tiamet, I have given her some assignments to go through the layers and choose everything that will suit me best and place it on one corner side of that layer. She has not been coming here often since that day she told me that she will make sure to get the best things that will suit me best.

I arrived at a room with dim light that was surrounded by walls, on the walls lamp fueled by spirit crystals were hung spreading faint blue light. It was the same alter room with many statues stationed. I walked out from alter platform and made my way towards the throne that was in the highest position in the hall. I got near it and sat on it. It feels weird sitting on a throne that might have been made for giants. I was like a bird sitting on an elephant.

Coming out of my complex thought. I closed my eye and tried to do what my past self instructed me to do so that I can connect my consciousness to that space. I tried doing this many times in the past four years living here. But no matter how many times I tried I couldn't connect myself to that space. Ultimately I concluded that I can only connect to that place when my soul fully merges with my new body.

According to my assumption, today is the day my soul would completely merge with my body. As I guessed while concentrating my willpower on my forehead. Inside my eye, a black dot with white matter appeared in my vision. I focused on the dot. Then the dot started to twist in a circular way giving it the appearance of what seemed to be a black hole. Then it expanded making my vision dark.

Instantly in my vision appeared a world that is filled with ghastly black smoke. The space seems to be infinitely vast. Then I noticed that I could see much more than I could see as a normal human. I mean after living in that place eating all those heavenly fruits and showering with nectar that could only be heard in legend my physical stat improved pretty well. If you ask why fruits are not cooked food then all I can say Tiamet can't cook.

Well aside from the foods related staff let's talk about my physical stats. Presently I can run 1 or 2 dozen kilometres without any issues. I can jump at least 5 meters up from the ground. Also, I Didn't have measured how much I can lift but I can guess it would be something no normal human would imagine lifting lastly with my eye I could utmost see 1-2 kilometres clearly but right now it looks like I can see infinitely just like my vision.

Then I tried to move with not so much expectations because of my previous two experiences but surprisingly it looks like I can move. I tried to bring my right hand forward but what came after that might have to be the biggest shocking thing in my life even all my previous events combined.

I looked at my hand that have signs of any human-like appearance. It was big with black crystallize claws that were very long also my arm looks just like it was made of jet-black crystalline skin. Then I tried to move my other left hand. Now that I think about it it was similar to that person in the vision who was thousands of miles long at least to my assumption. It would have been great if there was a mirror here so that I could watch myself. Just as I thought of this black gas that was surrounding me started to gather making a squire shape. After a few seconds, It conjured into a mirror where I could see my appearance.

Seeing my appearance I was shocked again.

My whole body was covered with black crystalline materials looking like scales all over. Wings with black feathers could be seen from my back. I have no facial features so I could not produce any expression at least with my face. It looks oddly like him in the vision who introduced himself as my past self. But there is one thing I still can not measure my body height. If my guess is correct I might be more bigger than most of the creature that lives in this world.

"Ooh, Looks like you are adapting quite exceptionally. The step I thought I need to take does not need anymore I guess as expected from myself." unexpectedly a deep voice came from my mind. I was stunned for a second before my voice leaked out from my mouth but what came out was not my usual voice but a deep, heavy and terrific voice more terrific than the voice in my mind.

"Who are you," I asked there was no trace of fear anymore and this feels natural as if having a conversion with a being that is equal or lower to me.

"I am the last particle of our past conscious who will give you information about this place, also a defence mechanism so my future self wouldn't be someone who is too much into the right path or too much on the good side at least not now." a voice came in my mind.

"Can you come out? So that we could chat normally you know " I asked as a ball made of black gas came out with two wings on its back

"Let's talk, shall we? This realm is called

| the realm of Defiance|. Well, that's what I like to call this place. This place is the highest possible realm in existence this is where we were born and lived for numerous years until other worlds, lower realms and many more lower realms were created. life form born became inhabitants of those worlds and started living.

Well, that was a summary of this world now let's go to the actual place in this realm where only we can go."He said as he flew in a direction. I asked where it is his answer was 'You will know when you go there'.

I tried to follow him but didn't know how to fly as I wanted to ask him but as if by my will my wings flapped and led me to where he was going.

I was feeling quite eager to know more about all these new things that are coming to me. My heart was surging with excitement about what was about to come.
