Chapter 74: Morpheus

In the human country, they were all praying in front of the statue of their god Detruire. In the center of the temple, a man was wearing a long black robe.

The man was the leader of the prayers.

It was none other than Diabo. It was years ago when Diabo arrived in the human world, After he arrived Diabo began to connect all the other tribes to one creating a huge kingdom. They all worship their god Detruire and Diabo became the first-ever pope.

Meanwhile, Diabo's pupil became the first-ever knight of the kingdom, he was called the holy knight.

He was still young but with his prowess, it was already enough to defeat hundreds of monsters.

"Oh our god Detruire! Please protect our tribe!"

The people were praying with all their hearts, and that was when the sky suddenly resounded with a thunderous lighting.

This made the people cheer in response.

...

"So you're the creator of this so-called game huh? My name is Layla Everina nice to meet yah"

Shaking hands with Layla, Cedric was profusely sweating.

"Your hand is sweaty as heck, anyways nevermind about your hands. So what do you think of the design? Mostly the training capsules used by the rankers are standing, and many needles and ocupunctures are inserted into your body...But this one I redesigned it as a sleeping pod. As you see, it sorts of like a bed.."

"Oh...I think it's good, this way the players could drift onto the game as if they were dreaming..."

"Exactly!!"

Layla showcased the holographic design and information in front of Elias and Cedric.

"As you see, it's not easy transferring a consciousness to another. The rankers, especially magician rankers who have a high mentality are the ones who mostly use the capsule. First, they inject three serums on each side of the neck, followed by putting a liquid inside the capsule."

"A liquid? Wouldn't that drown the players?..."

"Nope, the liquid is designed to be sort of an illusion or something. I don't get it fully since I never experienced it beforehand, but It's sort of a simulation for the body. Anyways, I'll consult with a magician but for now, I'll explain to you why I'm having a problem with this whole conscious thing.."

Layla showcased another graph with having detailed explanation of the capsule the rankers had used.

"The serum serves as the tool to do this, then with the use of this helmet with numerous wiring connected to the amorphous computer, they would create a 3D-like scene inside the head...But that's another problem, the serum can only be created by one of the finest alchemists, and she's....well she's been in seclusion for about two years now and I can't find her whereabouts.."

"So you can't recreate the serum?"

"Elias, I'm not an alchemist, I'm a machine builder. Besides, that serum is super rare and is only sold to the government. If I do somehow ask the government to spare me some, wouldn't you think that's quite dangerous? Even if I explain why, they would get suspicious of me, and you know what happens next..."

All rankers, especially the S-rankers of the country were the most heavily guarded and spied on. With their prowess they had the power to destroy even the government, that's why although they pose as a nation's treasure, they are also a great threat.

Cedric glanced at the system notification.

[The system can integrate itself with the capsule, if the host allows the system to merge and have access to the capsules. Then the system can control and even immediately add the player's consciousness to the game]

"...."

"Hoo, this is a problem indeed. What do you think Cedric? If we try to make the game into a 3D game instead, it can still be as famous as it is."

"Umm, I think I have a solution..."

"You do?"

Cedric nodded his head.

"Can I touch the capsule?"

"Huh? Why though? But umm sure.."

Cedric walked closer to the capsule, touching the capsule, Cedric glanced at the system's notification.

[Would the host agree to the conditions of the system?]

"Yes..."

[The system will now merge itself into the capsule...]

"Umm Cedric what are you doing?"

Cedric didn't answer and his hand was still placed on the capsule. Cedric glanced at the progress bar which was currently at 50%.

[60%...]

[80%...]

[99%...]

[Done! The system has now integrated with the capsule. The player can now access the game...]

Layla was confused, she glanced at her supercomputer. She hurriedly walked closer to the computer and moved her cursor.

On the scene was a young boy playing with some huge sharks.

"What the fuck..."

Elias watched the huge screen of the computer even he was amazed by the sight. The realistic trees, the water, and even the people.

"What did you do Cedric?"

"I...I just...."

"Hey!"

Cedric flinched looking at Layla.

"Uh yes?"

"You.... you're an awakener arent you? What's your rank? How come I never knew of you before?! Have you recently just awakened? Why are you being quiet?"

"I...I.."

"Shush you two.."

The two looked at Elias who was watching the supercomputer. A young woman was holding a small baby.

"Wah"

"Oh my sweetie, are you that hungry?"

The mother gently cuddled and fed the small baby.

"This is...amazing..."

Elias watched the island, and the people on it. Although they were quite strange, they looked like breathing people, and even their actions and discussions were human-like.

"I can't believe that this is a game...Cedric truly this is beautiful.."

Layla watched the whole village, some children were running around and playing, and many adults were fishing.

"I agree..."

They all looked beautiful, the whole scene was soothing to see. The beautiful island was filled with greeneries, clear blue water, and the people on it as well.

Cedric also watched the whole scene.

'My game...My people...'

....

Meanwhile, Callidus was carrying a child on his back, and a newborn child strapped on his chest. Three children were jumping and even hitting one another.

"Markel be safe, always follow your uncle Aaron alright?"

"Geez dad! I'll be safe Besides we will only play in the forest!"

"And that's why it's dangerous, the forest is filled with monsters, and even poisonous insects!"

"Poison doesn't have any effect on me Dad, and also stop worrying too much! Anyway got to go!"

Markel waved his goodbyes and left their home.

Callidus sighed looking at his 5-year-old son.

'Hah, truly five years have passed...'

Callidus settled with Marelda. After their father's death, Callidus was beside Marelda all the time. The two got closer than ever and decided to start their own family. They had five sons and a newborn little girl.

"Give that back to me Jonah!!"

"Blehhh take it from me then Cyru!!"

"Hey! That's not your toy Jonah! That's mine!!"

The five children were the mini versions of Marelda. They also had the same traits as her.

"Boys! Stop fighting! Come on you have a lot of other toys why fight for that one only?"

The three stopped, and after a few seconds, they once again continued to rumble.

"Hah, this child doesn't listen to me...I hope you are different sweetie, Daddy is tired of taking care of your big brother...I hope you don't cause daddy any trouble.."

The only daughter and the youngest was the mini version of Callidus.

"Truly Marelda's genes are strong..."

....

"Vine are you going to patrol the village again?"

"Yes, I am..."

Vine the small monster, had now grown into a young man. He was much smaller than Vite, but as Vite kept growing up, he also grew up. The more Vite's powers grew, Vine also grew.

"Vine please take this with you, I made it..."

The female goblin handed a small basket filled with food.

"Thank you..."

"Hehe, no worries.."

The female goblin happily left off. While Vine kept on looking at the basket.

"It's fruits. I'm sure Master would like this."

Hnung was carrying one child and holding a small child beside him. Hnung settled down as well.

It took him quite a long time to settle down. But now he has three young children to take care of.

Hnung's three children had small horns on their heads gray skin and small ears. His children were Oni's as well. The one Hnung ended up with was none other than the mother of Lerak and Krag.

At first, the two had a hard time accepting that their mother had found another mate, but Lerak and Krag just supported them as well. Though it was awkward for them to call Hnung their father.

Many of the female rhinoceros married some ogres and goblins and had children.

The Oni children were accepted into the tribe. Meanwhile, Phuna, the old man, had one child! Everyone in the village was taken aback because of Phuna's old age to suddenly have a child.

His child is already 3 years old and was currently helping him inside the school.

Krag was the one having trouble, he had five children in one go, and his mates were pregnant once more.
