5 Chapter 5
Dave got surprised as memories and instinct of using Cero appeared on his mind.
But before he can even delve deep into the Cero skills, the particles of the Snake Hollow begin condensing into some form of a gate.
The gate was made of stone with some green lining in it. Vortex of black-green appeared, rotating but there's no sound. It is just a quiet gate but full of Mystery.
Dave looked at the gate and focused on the gate that appeared.
"If the anime doesn't lie, this kind of thing is like the end of the Dungeon, a gate to the second floor, or the last dungeon boss fight."
"If I enter, it's either I'm gonna continue fighting again or… I will finally leave this place."
Dave mutters that to himself as he sizes up the mysterious gate.
"This Dungeon sure loves the green color, huh."
For the last 10 days, Dave saw that there are no other things, besides the green crystals and the Hollow on this Dungeon.
Hesitating for a second, Dave grabbed his sword handle, as he ready himself for an expected fight or some traps if there's.
Floating towards the Gate, Dave took a deep breath and slowly moved forward.
As Half of Dave's body had gone through, the Dungeon he had been for 10 days started crumbling and when Dave was gone, the Dungeon disappeared as well, as if there's none in the first place.
°°°
Dave opened his eyes, gripping his sword handle tightly as he observed the surroundings. He was on some sort of platform, as he looked down and could only see sand. There's a moon above, so it's gotta be nighttime.
Dave's eyesight improves so much that there's no difference between day and night.
*Argh*
A demonic scream sounded on his back, as an explosion took place.
Dave was quick to act and disappear from his place and appeared a thousand meters away from his previous place.
But then he saw what and where the explosion took place.
And another explosion took place along with that demonic disturbing sound.
Two figures could be seen fighting below Dave, and Dave knew the two were.
It was Ichigo in his Vasto Lorde and Ulquiorra in his Segunda Etapa.
Dave saw this in Anime countless times, but seeing this in real life was another story.
The explosion was incredibly powerful and Dave could feel the heat even this far.
As the battle continued, Ulquiorra began losing, and in the end, he died.
The world stopped at the last second of Ulquiorra was becoming dust. The world stops but the dust of Ulquiorra is still the same as Ulquiorra disappears and becomes dust and ultimately becomes and transforms into another form.
It is entirely white, with a longhorn on its head along with its face with only green eyes pecking to the socket. This is… Ulquiorra in his Hollow days.
He looks at Dave at the distance and then looks towards Ichigo, Ishida, and lastly at... Orihime.
He then grabbed something as his palm lit up, and with an imaginable speed for Dave to react and dodge, Ulquiorra threw it towards Dave as Dave's vision could only see light.

As Dave regained his wits, notification bombarded his mind, as after notification and notification arrived.
Dave then was met with a dense forest. Leaves with different colors and scents invaded his senses. He looked up and saw that there's no light and only darkness there.
He frowned in confusion as he muttered, "Where am I?"
He then brought his focus to his system and saw the notification and muttered.
"Status"
°°°
[Host: Dave]
[Template: Ulquiorra (10.0%]
[Skills unlocked: Master Swordsman, Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Sonìdo (10%), Regeneration (10%), Hierro, Resurrección Tozase Murciélago, Bala, Solita Vista, Pesquisa]
°°°
Nothing major clearly changed in his Status instead of having more power and skills.
He checked his Mission and was surprised.
°°°
[Mission]
[Kill God Sinbad and his Magi, God David]
[Time Limit: Infinite]
[Reward: Being the God of this World, Travelling towards the world where the System Originated]
[Failure: Nothing]
°°°
Dave was surprised as he read the Mission. He noted the things he needed to kill and saw the word "Magi".
"Magi… so I am in the world of Magi," David muttered towards himself as he quickly looked towards his surroundings and not seeing the Magi World he knew in the Anime.
Unless…
He disappeared and flew up.
He then travels around the surroundings, and with his new power and his new skill, Pesquisa. He can now determine the power of one being. He noted that there's no threatening thing around him, but remained vigilant as he observed the surrounding area.
He then watches as a cat pops out from the ground and grabs some monsters and drags it towards the hole.
And then… Dave finally remembered after seeing that Monster.
Dave was in the Magi World, and that was right. As for the location… It was a part of the world that never was showcased that often and only used for Aladdin and his friends to hide, and that is…
The Dark Continent!
°°°
For starters, the Dark Continent was a large Continent that was even larger than all other Continent combined. It was so big that even the other Continent combined, the Dark Continent was 5 times larger than it.
So if a normal person travels towards the Dark Continent towards the dividing line which is the "The Great Rift" or the "Continental Rift" which divides the whole world from the Magi World. It will take 40 years for people to scale the whole continent by foot.
Even in the Manga, Yunan himself, despite being a Magi, has not fully explored the continent because he said that it was too 'vast'.
°°°
As Dave begins contemplating on what to do next, he can exit this place for a year if he is willing to invest himself to only fly towards the Great Rift and no rest whatsoever.
But… Dave saw this Place as a Treasure Trove as there are many Monsters here and… Dave himself was not prepared enough if he could take Sinbad or know where he is or the timeline of the world.
If he comes up with his power right now, Sinbad will easily kill him along with his comrades.
But… if he trained and harvested souls here until he was confident enough to take Sinbad, he would like to train and harvest souls here until he was 100% but he knew that he couldn't do that because of the Notification he saw a while ago.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for reaching 10%. The soul needs to be harvested for the Host to increase 1% is equal to 10 souls]
If he calculated right, if he needs to get to 100%, he will need to kill Billions or even possibly a Trillion of life. Dave's calculation didn't function when he reached Billions since he was afraid of the final outcome of his calculation.
So he set his goal to exit this place and the first thing he needed to do for that to happen is to get stronger and kill as many monsters as he can.
As for why he just stayed and just be honest and farm souls here is that … he was "curious" and "excited" to meet the people he only saw on the screen, and meet them for real.
I mean, who would be excited if things were in the reach of your fingertips and with a little bit of effort you can now see or even interact with them.
That's every Otaku's Dream, Goddamnit!
That's why Dave couldn't let himself be trapped here and get stronger and kill Sinbad and David without even seeing the Main Characters of the Magi.
That's just… sad.
So before he could do his killing spree, he needed first to understand the new skills that he got.
Looking towards the direction in front of him and seeing a monster lurking.
Dave raises his finger and points towards it while saying.
"Cero"
Green energy gathers towards Dave's fingertips as it gets released and forms a straight-like beam of laser towards the monsters.
