When Luke finally fell asleep his consciousness was taken to a special place. He saw a little Fairy-like creature with small wings and pointed ears and white hair.
- Welcome to nightmare traveler!
- Quite the warm welcome for a place called Nightmare,
- Well we are not yet in the nightmare but in the lands in between two worlds where your consciousness got dragged for being one in ten first people promoted to Tier 1. Let me tell you what you need to know first and then I will let you as questions is it ok?
- Yeah don't worry.
- First of all because in this place is only your consciousness you can die once and it will get you back to the place where you came from but you won't be able to get back so it is a one-time chance to increase your power as this world is full of Tier 1 and more monsters. The second thing that you have to know is that no matter how long you will stay inside Nightmare in the outside world only 1-hour would pass but it is only a perk for those who come for the first time, in the meantime your vessel will get strengthened by Nightmare powers it can even increase your stats if you will stay alive long enough. That means that even if someone wanted to kill you and attack you when you sleep it is not possible as your body is not there.
- Any questions about the things that I said?
- No you can continue as everything is crystal clear.
- Okay next as someone that got here from the new world that was annexed by our "Great Starlight Domain" you are authorized to choose the helper form presented in this catalog but please wait with looking at it before I finish talking.
She said that and gave him a piece of paper, this confused Luke and he looked at her with a doubtful look.
- Don't worry it won't disappoint you with its content, but I would like to make a proposition: choose me as your companion.
- Huh I could do that?
- Yeah what we helpers are people of Domain that had to sacrifice themselves inside the sacrificial pit to get our nations a chance to live or even get our nations a new better future. And every helper has compatibility with individuals that are like you in a newly absorbed world and are bound to the individual that has chosen them never to be able to hurt any of them. And I was here not knowing how long and it is the first time that I was summoned and I have to grab this chance. That's why I would reveal this to you even if I will get penalized by the system if you won't take me.
- OK I will take you.
- That fast? Don't you have to know what I can do or what others can do? I could deceive you, you know it right?
- Yeah you could but It doesn't matter as you can't hurt me after this. What can you do? I believe that the most important is my own strength which won't be separated from me by anything and can't be lost by being taken inside some bullshit place.
- Well said so I will stop the bullshit and accept you, Would you like to know something more about Nightmare?
- Nah I will have you by my side so I don't care anymore, I only want to know what can you do.
- I mainly support you, I can increase all your stats attack speed, heal, and more. I can debuff your enemies. My offense consists mainly of nature control, wind magic, and water magic.
- Okay and how about your stats?
- Right now I don't have any but it will change in the future.
- Shall we go?
- Yeah. I'm ready.
Luke finished talking and summoned his swords.
- Good weapons.
- What is your name?
- I will tell you after we leave this place. Cut your finger and smear your blood on my forehead.
- OK.
He cut his thumb and put it on her forehead.
- Simba!!!
- What?
- Nothing just a joke from my world.
When he finished talking blinding light surrounded them and transported them to a new place. When they opened their eyes Luke saw high buildings around them with conical roofs and towers around them. They were standing on the long bridge, under which was nothing more than darkness, and even those buildings looked like they were going down infinitely to the bottom of this chasm. Finally, when Luke looked at the little fairy he saw two identical fairies but one had white skin and hair, and the second with slightly tanned skin and red hair.
- Hmm how is this possible that there are two of you now?
- That's why I didn't want to tell you my name inside as it was distorted.
- High my name is Mia and this is my twin sister Shia we are Highborn elf and Dark elf.
- Sorry if I'm wrong but how is this possible that twins can be a high elf and a Dark elf?
- Well our world was on a brink of destruction by beasts our parents were the strongest experts of their race my mother was the queen of the highborn elves and my father was king of the dark elves. Even if our races were at odds with each other we were losing so badly that we were left with only a small place to live. Our parents as the strongest were made by elders of our races. To create strong successors that's us, but this didn't change much in our situation even if we were really strong for someone our age and Tier that wasn't enough to change the tides of battle. When we were 14 and peak Tier 6 with 20 free points per level we rushed to the sacrificial pit that was something our race got from village seed. This sacrificial pit gives something of a higher value to the sacrificed entity. As we were only Tier 6 we couldn't get something much stronger than Tier 7 items so we used a special technique that trapped Shia's soul and body inside mine and increased our power to Peak Tier 8 with 30 free points per level this type of power was bound to give us something at least tier 9 but more likely tier 10 and it could change fate of our race. We don't know what happened with our race after this but we have to know if we changed anything or not that's why we were desperate to go with you as the first one that was compatible with our mutated soul power and body.
- Okay I understand what can you do Shia?
- Well I was a strong knight with a shield and sword. My secondary offense was mana manipulation fire magic and metal magic. My body is constantly getting strengthened by blood surge skills. I also have an innate skill that allows me to increase the power of my metal, the stronger the metal stronger I will get, and vice versa. My Second innate ability is fire absorption- I can absorb all kinds of fire to increase my power doesn't matter if it is natural or magical, naturally formed or artificial. All those flames that I absorb are coagulated into my body and create my own special flame that gives me bonuses that depend on the kind of flame I absorb and its power also this flame is getting stronger with time. I have a Divine Yin-flame physique that gives my Yin energy flame properties and to my flame Yin properties also it have a special skill that the longer I don't fuck with someone the stronger my vessel and Yin becomes without any cap.
- holy crap Two innate skills.
- Now I can tell you more as well I have a special physique called a Divine Yin-nature body that allows me to absorb special nature energies coming from all flora. It means the higher Tier and the older the tree is My stats will get stronger it also refines my physique and vessel. Also, it increases the vitality and speed of growth of the tree and increases Its max Tier. How much, it depends on my own power. My all healing and boosting effects are boosted by 50% also gives my allied target get 10% of my stats and all debuffed enemies get -10% of my stats My innate skill allows me to enhance seeds with mana and increase their tier basic power growth potential, speed and power of attack and defense. My second innate skill gives me is skill called The Horticulturist. And it gives me a boost to all stats that depends on how much and how strong seeds I plant. It also increases the potential of all of the seeds that I plant. My physique gives my yin energy special healing properties and like my sister the longer I don't do it the stronger my Yin energy becomes and it doesn't have a limit.
- Holy crap two of them have innate skills?
She continued speaking, Luke could see that her face become red like a tomato.
- Good you are both strong I think I know why no one was able to make a contract with you before as no new world would have an individual strong enough for both of you.
- Well we know that's why we took our chance but this makes me wonder how were you able to get this strong within the new world?
- Let me show you but don't resist.
