Stone woke up quite energetic this day.
He had a lot of fun the past month on the 'Fantastic World', And also got a lot of skills and increased his mastery getting close and close to fulfilling the condition to breakthrough day by day.
But most importantly today was finally the day when the Battle Prowess test begins. After this, He will be able to finish his Dream Quests and further improve!
and later he will finally join a Dream School and start his life ascending throughout the ranks and conquering the Dream World, As well as meeting many interesting people.
It was just exciting!
"Kitties, It's time for the Test!"
"The association told us to meet up at the Training Center of the Red Rock Planet, Everyone will be there, It seems they're making some kind of huge World Simulation where you guys need to level up, create-"
*Cough* *Cough*
"Kitties it's late we have to go quickly!" Jessica looked at Andre who quickly understood her and they made their way to the Teleportation Room.
After they entered the world Spike and his parents were really surprised by the Grand Plains Village, It looked so real, More like it has life brimming from it.
This was definitely not something a VR world can have no matter what they do to it.
Unfortunately, they had to go to the Other Part Of The World quickly, So visiting this world will follow later.
Strangely, Some people have everything but they don't take the chance, You need to never waste opportunities the moment you fall into one, Or, You might regret it for life.
*I don't where this came from, but since I wrote it, then my past self must have had a reason to do it, in any case, it's facts!*
Anyways, after they teleported to the Red Rock Planet they were also mesmerized by the Fusion between medieval and high-tech buildings while they made their way to the ever-lively Training Center, It was way more full compared to last time.
They entered the building which was surprisingly bigger than last time.
Stone brushed it off by thinking that some kind of Space array was installed into it, since this wasn't something uncommon.
A lot of excited and nervous teens could be seen looking around, some accompanied by their parents while some were alone.
There was a humungous amount of people one can't even count, People from all over the Universes, dimensions, and Galaxies under the Dream World were all here... welp, Just a portion of them to be exact the others were on the other Training Centers
"Hello Young and Adult Dream Humans, We hope that you are looking forward to this Test, As Today is a great day for our children as they will be participating in the first-ever Battle Prowess held in the Fantastic World where many pleasant surprises await them.
"Now now, without further chi-chat, All 16-year-olds will be Teleported In 10... 9... 8.... 5.... 3... 2... 1...
"Let The Test Begin!"
Stone And Spike were suddenly transported to a white room along with the other unlimited 16 Y.Os
"Hmm, What's this place for?" Stone asked confused
"I don't know! Maybe a waiting room?" Spike Replied looking a little too nervous.
{It's exactly as your Brother said, it's a waiting room made for you guys to form teams, As you will be teleported far away from each other otherwise.}
"I see... How will the other guys know?"
{All system users will be informed!}
"Mhm! Now then, How can we form a team?"
{You can just say [Form Party], and then [Invite -Name-] and there you go, You'll also be the leader and the rewards are set to be distributed equally.
So unlike the regular Parties, Leaders are only by names and capabilities as they can be changed later if someone stronger shows up.}
"I see! [Form Party], [Invite Spike David]!"
{Request Accepted!}
{Party Formed:
[Leader -Stone David- Level 1/Exp: 0/100- Rank: Null.]
[Member -Spike David- Level 1/Exp: 0/100- Rank: Null.]}
"Mhm, Very Well!"
{Are you all set?}
"Yes!"
{Please Be Ready To Teleport in 3... 2... 1...!}
Stone And Spike teleported again, this time it was some kind of... Plains???
"A familiar Place, Huh? I don't see the Village so it must be the Simulation.
"They recreated the World, But, empty of humans... I guess?"
"What are you talking about?" Spike confused looked at Stone with wide eyes.
"Nothing, This world just so happens to look like the Fantastic World, I have quite the memories with this place you see..." Stone explained with a slight smile.
"I see!"
"Shadow!"
The Space spiraled again and Shadow came out!
"Huh? What's this???" Spike jumped out in fright.
How the heck did a Black Haired Stone just come out of a Spiral Portal?
"It's one of my abilities..."
"Haaa? That's So Op! You're lucky..." Spike looked down, with a depressed look.
"Don't worry! I promise you'll get your own skills, At the right time..." With a wide smile Stone patted Spike's shoulder.
"Alright, I believe you!" With a fake smile, Spike let out a laugh.
Stone, of course, having passed close to 12 years with him, immediately noticed.
*Fwshh* *Shhh*
"Hmm, Spike get ready to fight, The Black Plain Predators are coming!"
"Black Plain what?"
*Boom*
Stone Immediately Dashed towards the source of the sound, with his blade in his hand, He was as fast as a flash.
*Swish* *Slash* *Tshk* "KwaaAARGH" *Swish* *Plop x5*
"What was that?"
"Nothing, Just a few Black Chickens. I kind of hate these guys, you see!"
"I definitely do, But... How on Earth were you able to dash that fast?"
"Well, Simply put. I kinda worked hard this month, And I got a few skills! which I leveled up quite a few times, by getting my ass beat up several times... I'm surprised I didn't die even once."
"Huh?" Spike fell silent for a few seconds.
'Hmm... His Eyes... They're blank... Again.' Stone grunted his teeth and turned his head he couldn't really look at Spike's eyes again...
They were basically dead!
It wasn't what he said that was the problem, Stone didn't blame himself, and although the sight was horrible...
Spike was definitely having a battle right now... For sure!
{Host his demon is manipulating him, What you showed him just now further endangered him!}
'I know, But, Although it's painful to see him like this for the past month... I can't do anything right now...
'Although... It might endanger him further- He got to fight him alone.
'When worse comes to worst. At that moment I'll intervene'
{Roger, Host! But, you might not be able to do anything.}
'Then, I'll work harder, All I did last month was partially for him too.'
{Good Luck... Host!}
"Let's continue, SPIKE!" Stone shouted.
"Huh? Yes... Yes! Let's go, I'm not letting you surpass me that easily." With an obviously sad smile, Spike said.
----End----
Phew... That's it for today! Although the chap got a Few Emotional... Strange Scenes, it was pretty fine.
