Five days have passed as lightning. During that time Arthur's soul became much stronger, with him being able to move water bottles!
Considering that before he was only able to handle pens, it is a drastic change.
Arthur was really happy with this development, if he continue like this isn't he going able to start lifting cars soon or latter?
Anyway, the eyes lenses arrived not long ago. Arthur was already dressed and everything, now with the lenses he was ready to visit his lab.
Other thing. The progress of creation of the Dream Ascendance was going even smoother than he though it would be. His ability seemed to be improving the more he used it. At this moment the ability was much stronger than the beginning. He also named it Virtual Soul Possession.
Putting everything aside now it was time for him to go, after all he had many thing he wanted to do personally in his lab.
------------------
When Arthur arrived at his lab he quickly went towards the virtual reality capsule. He had plans in continuing working in the creation of Dream Ascendancy.
Just as he was about to enter it, he heard the door knocking.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
"Who is there!"
"Its me Arthur."
Arthur then rolled his eyes to the answer and went to open the door.
"Hi Arthur, how are you?"
"I am good Sam, come in. I have a new discovery to show you."
"Another one? What did you do this time?"
"I will show you, enter my reality capsule and I will direct let you experience it."
Arthur said with an innocent smile.
"Ok."
Sam didn't had any reason to doubt him, so he did as he was told.
Arthur then instructed him.
"Don't matter what happen stay calm, it's all part of the process"
"Ok"
Sam who was inside the capsule replied as he prepared himself to enter a bizarre virtual world.
"Turn off, turn on. Hundred million cycles."
Arthur said, as he was monitoring Sam's condition in real time.
Sam felt the world becoming super clear and then dark many times. Little he knew that his senses was already a complete mess and he was bleeding. In the end he seemed to have fainted.
10 minutes later...
Cof
Cof
Cof
"What is going on..."
Cof
The capsule opened as Sam left it.
Looking at the surprised Sam with bright red-blood eyes who was looking at his hand he used to wipe the blood in his face, Arthur smiled.
'It's more like this'
"How are you feeling? What dream did you had?"
"What did you do to me?"
Instead of answering Arthurs question, Sam asked him a question.
"Oh, nothing much. You only broke you soul limiter, now you are the second human who achieved this feat."
Sam took a few seconds to process the information before replying to Arthur.
"Why am I bleeding?"
"This is the process, there is nothing I can do about it."
............................
10 minutes later...
Arthur and Sam were siting one in front of another. Each of them had shining eyes as Arthur took off his contacts. Sam already washed his face and hands, and now was talking about his dream.
"It was all dark and then I heard the words 'The body is the way', then I saw a crimson statue appear. It then said that everything was reachable with a strong body and that its name was Sacred Crimson Physique."
Arthur then nodded his head and also told Sam about his dream. Arthur then put his contacts on and said while giving him dark glasses.
"Do you now know why I was wearing contacts that day?"
Sam mechanically nodded as he remembered about that day. Arthur then took a notebook and gave it to Arthur.
"Here, this is all my experiences with all this magical stuff. Your mission is to understand all this and start researching more about mana, soul, and your ability."
"Yes, boss."
Said Sam, his eyes shining with excitement.
'I read many novels where I always envied the protagonist, now is my turn to be envied!'
Arthur ignore the lost in fantasies Sam and laid down in the sofa, he had many things to do.
....................................
Inside the world of dream ascendancy...
Arthur did a lot of research about myths, legends and novels. With this as the base, he created the materials base to build the first planet in dream ascendancy!
'Now its time to create the real thing.'
In the space of virtual reality there was only Arthur and two giant asteroids, each wish were bigger than Earth!
Slowly, they started approaching each other. In the beginning it was as slow as 100 miles per hour, but as seconds passed they started to approach each other faster and faster, till it reached 100 kilometers per second!
Boom!
A huge collision happened as Arthur controlled the results of it to create a planet and a moon.
Currently both planed and moon was like two giant lava balls.
Arthur then made things happen quicker and also made the time pass faster.
6 hours later both planet and moon took shape. Arthur then paused the virtual world and returned to his body.
Arthur then immediately placed his hands in his head, he was feeling a horrible headache.
"My head hurts so bad... Is this the price of over using my ability?"
"Arthur, are you okay?" (Sam)
Arthur took some deed breaths and replied to Sam's question.
"No, I am not. I overused my ability."
"Oh I see. Talking about abilities, are you curious about what my ability do?"
"what do your ability does?"
"Tsk, tsk. It is simple, let me show you."
Woosh!
Sam's hair suddenly went up and the air around the room started going towards him. Then suddenly the air air around him made a sound of explosion and great changes happened to Sam.
His hair color changed to bright crimson like his eyes, and his body muscles expanded. At this moment he looked very cool.
"What the..."(Arthur)
Arthur was a little taken aback. He though that the abilities unlocked by soul were more discrete like his. He really didn't expected then to be so... diverse.
"What do you thing? Don't I look like a god of war?"
"You indeed look like a god of war. By the way, what do this transformation actually do to you?"
"It increases my physical capacity, I am much stronger."
"Fascinating, give me report later about the exactly effect it has, I need to cultivate my soul."
Arthur said and closed his eyes. He didn't had time to worry about other abilities, let this problem to another person.
