Baseline Achievement!

"Why is it I don't know what you all get up while I'm away…" Dante couldn't help but think of his past time on Agearen as a Hero and his System function informing him of his team member's progress.

Even his workers progress would be sent to him through the System, yet the Pioneer Civilisation System worked against him.

He had to hear everything for his workers or see it for himself.

Unaware he'd spoken his thoughts, Xarl heard his Masters woes and offered his own insight on the matter.

.

"Master, you should be able to see how progress, and even out questions as we have a direct messaging function that lets us contact you.

We can even communicate amongst ourselves, however that function is reserved for Base Managers to communicate with one another."

Xarl spoke freely, hoping his words could clear up some of the questions on his Master mind, however his words were enough to cause Dante a greater headache than he expected.

'ASTAKRON!!

WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING!?!' Dante couldn't contain his disgust at the Divine System Spirit for interfering with his work, even if everything was speeding ahead at lightning speed.

'What…

Did you really think I would help you after you took away my divinity…?!

Are you fucking mad?!

I should be doing more in my power to ruin all of your hopes and dreams you fucking cunt!!'

Astakron had enough of Dantes behaviour, believing everything between the two of them was all good.

He hated the fact that all of his worlds were merged together, leaving him blind and unaware of what was happening on the lands of Terronious beside what Dante had uncovered.

It frustrated Astakron beyond words, with even his actions to hinder Dante so far being somewhat affective in reducing Dantes growth speed.

Above all else, it rather hated not having a physical form and restrained within the System itself, Astakron otherwise could only travel around Dantes Sanctum Realm.

But now that his actions were coming undone, Astakron couldn't careless how Dante felt and let him hear all the grief on its mind.

.

"*Sigh* I'm sorry…

Don't you think I feel sorry for what happened…?

Hell, what the fuck can I even do now?

I have no clue how to make you… You!

After all, you're the one that made me your damn champion in the end…!"

Dante knew he couldn't blame Astakron for how he felt and the anger, but at the same time Dante had no choice but to raise his strength as much as possible.

Maybe in the future he would know the answer.

'FUCKKK!!!... Argh… I hate this…!!

Fine…!

What do you want to know…' Astakron gave up in the end and didn't further wish to anger Dante, seeing that it was the only person he could talk to.

"Tell me… what the hell have I been missing out on because of your interference?"

Dante didn't care to hold back his question, leaning on the side of the pipes for the brewery factory.

They were connected to the large tanks, easily able to distil thousands of litres of alcohol without needing people to manage the work.

Nothing was being produced just yet, but he knew it wouldn't be long before everything would be up and running.

'This is just some of what I've shown you…

The rest you've already seen by force of the Systems operations bypassing my restrictions.

Anyway, there is more intricate System information I could display to you, but I don't think it'll help you…

If you want to know something, just ask me straight up.' Astakron didn't know how to distribute the System notifications he'd held back since becoming a Divine System Spirit.

Dante wanted to scream bloody murder, but all he could sadly do was hold back his fury and continue as nothing had happened.

"*Sigh* Fine…

Tell me… what the hell I am missing out on and should know?" Dante gave up and asked Astakron to spill everything he'd withheld.

After 20 minutes of Astakron explaining all that he'd done to interfere with his development, the former Hero finally lost his mind after he learnt of Astakrons ability to help with his plans.

"Are you fucking serious right now…?!

Urgh!

I could have already done so much… and without needing that prick either…" unable to hold back his anger any longer, Dante left with the sword handed to him earlier and went hunting down in the tunnel underground with some help to carry his victims.

Astakron thought this was the perfect time to continue and explain the rest he'd held back and not told Dante, further fuelling the former Hero to gut through any resistance he met underground.

Xarl sent Skeleton Labourers with Dante to carry back all of the corpses found along the way underground before ordering more Skeletons from the Second Base to help him.

He'd even called over the 4 original Skeleton Labourers that'd been with Dante from the very beginning for a special task.

"… *Sigh* You know… I wasn't expecting… all of this damn work!!

I thought if I worked with you for a year, then maybe I would be back in your mothers' good books, but this… you're trying to kill me through work, Dante!!" David couldn't help but curse the man that'd made his last few days miserable.

Since he'd met Dante, he thought after they were stuck together that his mentor's son was a little delusional about his business plans but compared to what he had to heard from the man himself for the last week, made David rethink his evaluation of the man.

Originally Dante asked David to organise licensing for them to legally sell alcoholic beverages, which at first wasn't too difficult for David to do, but the following day he was called to organise recipes.

Various recipes for different alcoholic beverages were all required by Dante, and he needed David to organise it all as soon as possible.

The aspiring lawyer ended up calling his mentor out of anger and annoyance for the way Dante was treating him, yet Katherine further shocked him with her simple reply.

"If you need more people to manage the work, then I'll send you the people.

Don't worry about the cost or anything of the sort.

I'll have it all managed in house within the firm." Katherine, rather, couldn't waited to see what her son could produce from the farm, even if she felt he was rushing ahead with his business plans.

She told Jonathan of her worries, with her husband assuring her their son knew enough to not make a wrong decision.

They were also ready to back him up in a heartbeat so the two had organised help for their son, even if it meant costing them some savings.

.

David, however, didn't see it like that and rather hated his miserable fate to be stuck working with Dante.

He was also tasked with organising an office building, which just happened to be beside the store Dante was planning to open and owned by his father.

Without saying a word, Jonathan had already sent extra men from his business to prepare the office building with help from a technical support team manager from Katherines law firm.

It was honestly a bustling day for Dantes business, even though he had little idea of what was going on at that time in question.

The following day David was once again informed to prepare a division for clothing, even though it would be done mostly online, Dante thought the store would be nice place to start out with some simple clothing.

T-shirts, pants, hoodies, jumpers and many other similar products were thought of by Dante, however he chose not to leave all of the designing in the hands of the High Goblins.

They were artists but in certain areas they'd studied or been taught by another.

In either case of Palimus or Thaestsus, neither new much other than making basic shirts and pants for themselves.

Even then they looked sharp and quite dashing in Dantes mind but still wanted to keep Earth simple and 'normal' he ruined it in the far future with his achievements from Terronious.

.

Poor David couldn't help but curse his luck now that he needed to organise a designs team for Dantes fashion label.

He'd even been tasked with setting up a construction business that'd primarily focus on small to medium size projects.

David wanted to quit and say no, but his mentor and father both would desert him, leaving the Italian Australian man to wonder if he should just drink his sorrows away.

Even if it was 10 in the morning…

Dante asked him to arrive by the office building by the store so they could talk about acquiring staff.

It'd been a few days since Dante was shown his new offices, which shouldn't have been available to use as another tenant had leased the building.

The young Thragen lost his patience and ended up in a huge argument with his parents for breaking off the lease but instead they calmed down their son and told him they had faith in his business ambitions.

It was also then that Dante understood the importance of a Divine System Spirit, especially one of Astakrons calibre.

Before he invited David over to the office building, which happened to be on same complex grounds as the Store, Dante went by the Store to see his earlier progress.

A few days earlier he'd bought a plant pot and soil before planting the remaining Fruit Seed of the Tree of Beginnings in it.

Dante patiently waited for the System to recognise the planted fruit and notify him with the good news at the time, hoping to see if everything would occur just as Astakrons explained.
