Ethereal Life, Chapter 73: Moon Realm

"Husband, I feel sick. I can't explain it fully well." Acacia sat down, feeling some kind of discomfort sometimes beside Nai as she said so while retching when nothing even came out.

Seeing this and then remembering those dramas he saw on television or in movies in the past. He immediately thought of something. "I think you're pregnant, wifey."

"I'm pregnant?" she said after hearing her husband say that. Tears can't help but appear and fall from her eyes to her cheeks as she smiles. "I'm finally pregnant. Thank goodness."

"Yep, you're going to be a mother soon." Nai hugged her here as he patted her long hair. Feeling the warmth of her two peaks despite the clothing in between pressing on him. However, he wasn't that perverted to just think about something like that.

He took out a cloth somewhere and wiped up his wife's joy-stricken face. At the same time, he was strangely calm. With no emotion such as happiness or other feelings to cause him a reaction.

Maybe this is what he truly is. To feel nothing despite his bloodline appearing soon and thus spreading his name. If he can say what things make him happy and excited,

Then there would be abilities and an eternal lifespan. As long as he had those things, he would always be happy, no matter what situation he was in. After all, with his abilities, he can solve any problem.

While an eternal lifespan would give him endless time to enjoy things and events he wants to experience with joy, "Congratulations, wifey." After having some lovey-dovey talks and touching around.

Nai walked out of the house, producing sounds with his footsteps hitting the water flowing on the floor. The reason he left his wife was for no other reason than that he had a hunch. Today will be the day his acceptance proof will complete its refining of those extraordinary materials he had devoured.

"I hope it will give me a handy ability I really need now." Nai walked halfway down the stairs before stopping as he gazed at the Creek Village and the few people moving around. Then he sat down as he waited.

"It's been many years. I wonder when I can progress the technology of this place to the level I'm satisfied with. I miss reading webnovels and watching anime and movies." Looking at the vast grassland.

And then taking a deep breath in the fresh breeze around him. Just looking at the picturesque clouds far away with their hue gives him mysterious wonderment in his heart. "I love this place as much as I don't like it."

"It's so primitive, with only the Agah Village people I have met. Then there goes the invasions of those slime monsters. I even had to become a forger of the extraordinary path of this world." Nai sighs, feeling the burden of power.

"However, with miracle water in hand, it would only take time. Not to mention, I had Garut, who loves to experience all kinds of things when it's about Accepters. What's more, he was more intelligent and could make rational decisions."

"If it really comes to it, if his lifespan is about to end, I can consider giving him another chance." Nai planned to give Garut a chance if he could truly see his personality and other contributions to his territory.

A chance to be reborn, returned back to his youth. In any case, he found it a little lonely if he was the only one to live a long life. If he can share it without any repercussions, then he won't mind sharing his secret.

"That's why, Garut, show me what you've got." After saying that, his vision suddenly turned blank for a second before he felt himself somewhat weightless. Then, a while later, he regained the gravity around him. The feeling of heaviness immediately grabbed his body, which made him feel as if he were falling.

Thud.

And then he had indeed fallen. Because he can feel his butt hitting the hard ground as well as his vision returning. Letting him once again see himself returning to the place he had been before, which he thought was the moon.

"I'm back? I can't believe this." Nai was surprised; it looked like he would be sent to this place every time he completed the refining after devouring extraordinary materials. Right, I haven't asked about Garut, but based on his expression back then and the news he brought me,"

"Did he awaken an ability naturally? Because if he were to be transported every time he completed the refining of those extraordinary materials he devoured, as he said, his strength came from the sun."

"Doesn't that mean he was transported in the sun? However, he wasn't burned, so that was impossible. But what if he was protected and immune instead? That would be a different story."

Nai shook his head. "All guesses but no facts proven. I'll wait until I reach a higher state. By then, I hope I can communicate with the world and gain knowledge from it. When the time comes, there will be no hiccups in deducing things."

Man and nature's unity is a state where one's existence will temporarily mingle and fuse with the world. And thus accessing the vast knowledge and insights the world contains. Nai chuckled. "Though I said that."

"It was actually just nothing but the results of my imagination. It still comes to the future for me to experience if what those webnovels really say is true." Nai stopped what he was thinking as he stood up after patting the dust on his buttocks.

Before he could think further, he suddenly felt the fog around him move. As though being drawn by some invisible power. Like how air would happen in vacuum space.

Nai couldn't help but look down upon noticing the fog around him seemed to have started spinning into a whirlpool. A horizontal whirlpool whose ends started to spread towards his glowing acceptance proof that has been vibrating nonstop.

Although he was afraid, years of staying in this world where reality was vastly different from the one he was familiar with Has already changed how he views the world in this new life of his.

So, albeit nervous, he didn't do anything. Instead, he was waiting for what was to come. even if you run and struggle around him. He knew that it was of no use since he couldn't take off the acceptance proof around his neck.

And then, if he could remove it, would he? No way! Only an idiot would do that. Who knew when he took it off that it would suddenly disappear or dissipate? Wouldn't he cry with no tears by then?

As such, in his standing position. He saw the churning fog's whirlpool extend its claws at him before getting sucked into his acceptance proof. In the next moment, many dimly colored shadows started moving around the churning fog.

He felt the scene looked familiar, and he remembered when he arrived there. Didn't he capture that Scarlet Moon Rune back then? And before that happens, this is what transpired back then.

So seeing this again is different from the first time. This time, he saw countless of them. However, since they were inside the fog, he couldn't see their appearance. He wonders if they all had the same appearance at that Scarlet Moon Rune.

Just like that, he waited for a while, but no runes flew out of the fog to be caught by him or the suction force that was devouring the fog. He has been standing still for minutes, and then most likely for an hour.

He didn't really count it because he was lazy. It was just his guess based on his hunch. And while he was like this, he made use of this time to relieve some boredom by looking around.

The same starless sky and rocky ground with soil and dirt colored the place with a pale blue-gray hue. Although the place wasn't bright, it was just enough for one to see what was around.

The thing was, he saw nothing that was emitting light around, so why could he still see that this place wasn't dark? One of the mysteries of this place "Should I start calling this place a name?"

"What name should I give it? This place really looks like the moon from many movies I've seen. It even has some resemblance." Nai thought about it as he remembered looking below him.

"Hmm, my strength came from the nurturing of the moonlight. I appeared here soon after the acceptance proof had refined the extraordinary materials I had devoured a year ago."

"Then let me name you this place, which I shall recognize as a world—a place for both rewards and mysteries, connected to the source that has given me both—the  Moon Realm."
