Grandpa Tang was patiently awaiting his benefactor to reach out to him and casually inquiring about a question that concerned his family for many months, he was with Mr Suryadi Hartono 13 council leader in one of the secret ancient Temples under Indonesia, he was inside the inner part of the temple were the energy surrounding the temple was flowing out, while he was meditating he recalled the most peculiar message he heard from a group of guild hunters that was trap inside an unchartered dungeon, lucky they were saved by a humanoid looking man with white hair and golden eyes and can understand their native language,
the message was clear as daylight, the guild hunter team leader told Grandpa Tang saying that he alone understood.
"I am Adapting, Learning, Overcoming, and Surviving, Grandpa! I shall return to my earth family soon,"
these sentences almost made him jump for joy, knowing only one person would utter those words, he was holding his tears as his mention
" My boy you are safe!"
while waiting for his benefactor to reach out to Grandpa Tang, more attacks from mythical monsters were being reported in every part of the world, fortunately, earth has faced many changes also to face this problem, as rampant dimensional rifts were still appearing and randomly hunting and killing innocent civilians but with the help of the Ethereal League casualties were minimized,
and with technological advancement in incorporating raw materials gathered from fallen monsters projectile weapons are more efficient in killing a high-level mythical beast, the rail gun that Guan Yu Liu Chen former chairman of Fu Xi Shi Corporation had been modified, from carrying just a a few titanium ammunition,
now with the introduction of a new super metal that emits an energy frequency, that many mythical enthusiasts called mithril ore it has become the main component of the 25x137mm armor piecing magazine type that holds 30 ammunition rounds,
and sphere heading the use was the Red Dragon Ethereal League that Guan Yu Liu Chen was leading with thousands of members spread all over the seven continents, and because he was in absolute control over the use of these projectile weapons many restrictions were in place to prevent the weapon from being used besides for its true intention,
DNA and genetic scanners were placed on the grip, special unnatural equipment was forged to manufacture this assault riffle in the most highly protected place that was deemed its own country by the United nation so no country would dare try to claim authority over it,
Gong Renshu one of the elders became head chief security, his authority was absolute, like the weapons they were created to fight the dimensional creatures entering their land, the integration of supernatural artefacts was already implemented at all of Fu Xi Shi Corporation and its partner companies, one of them is the Sinclair construction company,
after Robert Sinclair family patriarch and older brother of Amelia Earth biological mother of Ramiel found out about his sister's current status, he had no choice but to accept the fact she was now the major shareholder of their company after Guan Yu Liu Chen was allowed to buy Sinclair construction company share as a sign of mutual trust between partners, he never expects Amelia who was outcast by their parents year years ago would come back,
but Robert Sinclair and many of his relatives never expected that Amelia Liu Chen would allow them to run the business as they saw fit, provided they never betrayed her husbands, Amelia Sinclair youngest sister of Robert Sinclair is also an Ethereal with a power level of 100, and her blessing or power is connected into multi-layer wide and isolated protection.
even now the Liu Chen family's influence are continuously expanding, even the youngest family member Ariella Laila Liu Chen who is just seven years old daughter of Amelia and Guan Yu, has been making numerous achievement in the martial art world, she is clever, analytical and headstrong, but her personality and character is still grounded, like her mother, she never speaks openly without thinking of the outcome,
she is still a child and loves to play and have fun, she never wasted any time like the rest in accumulating upper mediocre social status, she was a Liu Chen and upheld the family honor like her older brother did, many of their family staff and personnel find the brother and sister relationship to be uncanny and awe-inspiring.
They shared an unbreakable bond that seemed to transcend the typical sibling connection. Their unwavering support for each other was evident in the way they tackled challenges together, making their family proud and leaving a lasting impression on those around them.
The young Ariella saw her comatose brother as if he was awake, communicating with him through her words and actions. She believed that their bond went beyond the physical realm, allowing her to connect with him on a deeper level. This unwavering belief fueled her determination to find a way to bring him back to consciousness, no matter how impossible it seemed.
she would always visit him and share stories of her daily activities as if he was listening to her while in this medical state. Ariella's unwavering dedication to her comatose brother touched the hearts of their family and staff. They admired her ability to find solace in his presence as if he was still an active participant in their lives. Her visits became a source of comfort for everyone involved, fostering a unique bond between siblings that transcended the boundaries of consciousness.
Amelia and even Dr YaXiu Fang never persuaded her to stop and mentioned that this was her coping mechanism to deal with the emotional toll of her brother's condition. They recognized that Ariella's presence brought a sense of peace and hope to the otherwise somber hospital room. Instead, they encouraged her to continue her visits, knowing that it was a vital part of her healing process.
but they didn't know she had been unconsciously meeting him inside the dreaming realm, where their souls would intertwine and create a deep connection. In this ethereal world, their encounters were filled with unspoken emotions and a profound sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for lifetimes. every night they would meet and casually interact with each other as if they were physically on the same plane of existence, unaware of the boundaries of time and space.
Their conversations flowed effortlessly, delving into the depths of their thoughts and sharing their deepest desires. As the nights passed, their bond grew stronger, transcending the limitations of the physical world and solidifying their connection within the realm of dreams.
Ariella wasn't that naïve not to see that she was talking to her brother's unconscious mind while they were both asleep, ironically they both know who they are but never elaborated this to each other, as if it was a hidden secret that both hid to one another, a secret that added an air of mystery and excitement to their nightly conversations.
It was as if they had discovered a hidden portal to a world where their true selves could freely express their thoughts and desires without judgment or consequence. This clandestine connection only deepened their bond, making them feel like kindred spirits navigating the ethereal realm of dreams together.
This clandestine connection added an air of mystery and excitement to their dream encounters. Ariella often wondered if their subconscious meetings held a deeper significance, or if they were simply a product of chance. Regardless, she cherished these ethereal moments, knowing that they brought her closer to her brother in a way that was uniquely their own.
and because their dreaming encounter was consistent, Ramiel and Ariella became close like what siblings normally do, their are the moment they casually blurt out certain questions and sentences that indicate they already knew each other, the awkward laughter would come out of their mouths and just casually try to sway the mistake in another direction, making light of the fact that they were not physically present in each other's lives. These moments of familiarity and shared understanding only deepened their bond, reinforcing the belief that their dream connection was more than just a figment of their imagination.
Ramiel would always ask Ariella about her mother, she knew he just wanted to know the current status of his mother in a mild unsuspecting way, this type of conversation was fun for her so, like an innocent child she should reply to his question as if he was just curiously asking her about her daily activities within her family, keeping the details light and playful. Their conversations became a haven where they could escape the realities of their lives and immerse themselves in a world where their connection felt real and tangible.
In this alternate reality, they could freely express their emotions and share their deepest thoughts without fear of judgment or consequences. It was a refuge from the complexities and hardships they faced outside of their conversations, allowing them to find solace and comfort in each other's virtual presence.
As this was going on, Grandpa Tang at last sensed the energy of the Liu Chen clan's true master and benefactor, and the enormous, 2,000-year-old mirror also began to emit an energy that indicated his master was about to communicate with him from her realm. Grandpa Tang's heart raced with anticipation as he felt a powerful connection forming between him and the Liu Chen clan's true master. The ancient mirror, pulsating with energy, seemed to bridge the gap between their realms, signaling the imminent arrival of his master's communication.
