Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 386: breaking the peace

All the floors after the 70th through the 79th were home to Dragonkin, it was the most beneficial to both the bloodlines of Drogon and Yunan, consuming all those corpses even helped purify the bloodlines of both, almost to the point of getting rid of the mana corruption. Almost but not quite there yet.

Yunan did not spare any time, he immediately crossed to the 71st floor; even as he consumed the all-affinity core, he kept moving forward, not stopping at all, turning all kinds of wyverns into food and mana.

Since Yunan had just crossed the threshold to the sage realm, he chose to take the drastic way and force his development through constant battles, all or nothing, he would trigger his automated battle mode whenever he found some enlightenment to be gleaned. And as he went down floor by floor, most of his time was in a nearly unconscious state.

By the time he reached the 76th floor, he was practically running out of mental space to keep his automated battle mode on, and consequently forced back home to finish meditation in a safer place, having a large backlog of fights to look through and learn from, Yunan unknowingly spent close to a whole year in Dreamscape meditating on his own enlightenment.

It has been 5 years since Yunan last took a decent rest, thus, as soon as he woke up, he went back home, he practically forced everyone to go on a week-long trip with him, he paid special attention to Catelyn who was old enough to start her own schooling, she would attend an academy established by the guild to start her own journey as an adventurer.

The girl was too excited about her new life and friends that she did not stop talking for hours, she felt just like Yunan did back then, it was a whole new world to a path were only dreams were the limits, but unlike how Yunan took the matter too seriously, she was having fun and mainly playing around. The academy was a playfield for Catelyn. If she actually needed to learn anything, she had more competent teachers at home, she could just order them to teach her and they would oblige.

Kaiser, on the other hand, was already looking like a royal, Lady Mito already drilling her etiquettes in his every move. He was already learning the proper way to speak and behave, trying his best to impress his constantly absent father, his effort found purchase with Yunan who did not stop praising the boy and showering him with affection.

For the last 5 years, Yunan had grown to look more mature, his gentle demeanour and kind face were gone, exchanged with the experienced and mature look of a true blue adventurer. He looked rougher and more commanding than before, even reducing Luna; who has not seen him in two years, to drooling with hearts popping about her as she took in all the "manliness" her boy toy had suddenly acquired, even Mary had to say a few words about this subject.

During the five years that have passed, Yunan grew stronger, richer, manlier and lastly, he became even more enigmatic, the creator had already agreed to meet after his new planet was out of the critical growth period, he did not specify a date, and Yunan did not ask him to, he just nodded his head at the news and kept focusing on the dungeon back then.

Life was becoming stable once again in the Hosana universe, the creator seemed to be too engrossed with his new planet that nothing happened, the avatars and over-gods were all trying to get their hands on the planet or anything that seemed strange about it, but failing to even find a hint, they could only contact the primordials to ask for help, they failed miserably because the primordials were not going to interfere anyway, this was a trial universe and not worth interfering in, lest the final result would change unpredictably.

Since peace has been going for too long, it was time to cause a disruption, Yunan chose to strike by disrupting the flow of faith, it was a first step that he planned meticulously. He started the plan after returning from the vacation, he entered Dreamscape and used the dream divinity to connect to the divine public communication channel.

Dreamscape: @shiva, @satan, are you guys around, there is a good deal waiting for you both, come to the Dreamscape, I will be waiting, you will certainly like my proposal. If you do not plan to come don't make me wait and let me know, I will look for others.

The chat immediately went silent, to this day, most of the gods thought of Yunan as a pest, one must never stand in his way, and association with him was just a no-no, it did not take long before Shiva and Satan cautiously responded.

Shiva: @dreamscape can I know what kind of deal you need me for?

Satan: @dreamscape, I thought I said that I don't like the idea of making deals with you.

Dreamscape: basically I am offering the unlimited use of all dream energy as long as you are working on my task, how about it?

Shiva/Satan: @Dreamscape, not falling for the honey trap, but it is too sweet, so I will come by just to see what the task is.

It did not take long before two completely different beings were granted access to Dreamscape and the three sat around a table to talk.

"Welcome to my realm, before you ask, this is not a secret task, as long as you keep doing it, there are no problems, also, there will be a binding contract if you chose to take the job. after my explanation is done you must accept or leave, no negotiations nor haggling, you either accept or leave."

Taking a moment to let the two feel the weight of the mission, Yunan continued talking, with each word making the two crease their foreheads a bit more.
