Traveling to another sector
Hiro's POV:
-------------------------------------------------------
After our orgy last day, I woke up with a slightly sore body. I felt Alice waking up in the bed alone, which made her feel uncomfortable for a moment, but she knew what I'm doing so she calmed down. Alice realized that her legs were still weak. She was in no condition to walk, nor did she has to.
In this sector, we had spices so making delicious food, wasn’t only a dream anymore. Considering that I could cook even in my past life, I just had to learn the flavor of these spices. We didn’t need to eat too much at this level but we still did it from time to time because we liked eating delicious food.
But our favorite is the meat! We are talking about predators, so you shouldn't be surprised. I heard Alice's stomach grumbling from the other room which caused me to smile. We haven't eaten anything for at least a week, so we were a bit hungry, especially after such an ‘event’.
“It’s soon done my love then we can eat,” I said loudly in a good mood with a smile on my face. “Hmm~ breakfast in the bed? How romantic of you?! It comes in handy because I probably can't walk for a while..." She answered with a small voice.
“Haha, I know. I can feel that you have no power left in your legs. I think that you should be alright about two hours later at most," I said, feeling happy that I was able to make her feel so much pleasure. Who wouldn't want to satisfy and rule over his woman?
“Ugh. Just how much did it burden on my body. I should be up and be walking not sitting here. And I slept like a log," She remarked grudgingly, but happily. “Yeah. You slept very cutely. Hehe~ Anyway you don’t have to worry about it, you are going to be alright soon enough just use some healing magic," I said, but to be honest I wanted to attack her once again. This sadism... it's great!
“Okaay~” She said with a happy tone. After about five minutes I took and put a tray in front of Alice. Seeing the meat with noodles she happily devoured it all. When I was done, I saw here sitting there without any clothes on the bed. Seeing her soft and taut breasts, I had no way to resist! I pushed her on the bed, which caused, a cute yelp from her.
"Noo! What are you doing? I'm still weak at that spot! You can't do this with me!" She tried to escape as she rolled on the bed and tried to crawl away. I held onto her butt and pulled her back. "Ah!" She shouted happily upon feeling me. I stirred up her desires and we made love once more.
------------------------------------
A week has gone by and our spaceship also arrived. Chrissy landed in front of us and jumped out of the spaceship. “So? Is this to your liking? I paid a quite large sum of money for it and it was hard to get since-" She wanted to polish herself, but I cut in her words because none of us were interested in her stupid excuses.
“Thank you very much now could you not talk for half a day about how you’ve got it? As long as it’s here it’s fine. You too should be happy that you kept your life because in your place, we would have been killed and for that, I could have killed any of you."

“Even just considering what you or your men would have dared to lay a finger on Alice, I feel like killing you, so let’s not play friends, can we?" I said as I tilted my head to the side with a cold smile. After being silent for a while, she answered with her head bowed down. “... OK! Sorry.”
If we would have been the one to lose, then probably we would have been killed, so I surely wouldn't try to be friendly with Chrissy. Although I can see it in her eyes that she really didn't want to attack us originally, but still she is the one at fault.
We looked at the spaceship, which was made for two people. Since it had autopilot mode, we didn't need a pilot either. We told her that it's alright and then she quickly left. We went to Shao Xian's castle and said goodbye to the people we've got to know there. Shao Xian wasn't happy that we are going to leave. On one hand, he got used to us and on the other hand, he was going to lose a pharmacist and a smith.
But seeing our progression rate, he knew that we aren’t going to stay for long. We were on our spaceship when we realized that we should visit a dungeon, so we contacted Chrissy. "Hey, we forgot to ask a thing. Are there any dungeons in your sector? Or somewhere else?" Alice questioned her curiously as she coiled her tail around my arm.
Yes. After reaching the sixth stage, we became able to activate our battle forms, which would increase our strength by fifteen percent. But that wasn't all, our defense would also increase at least two if not three times. Since we were on our spaceship and we weren't seen by anyone, we transformed into our battle forms.
Both of us had the same kind of black scales covering our bodies, which meant that our tails had the same color. The only difference was that the tip of my tail turned into a bludgeon-like weapon while Alice's turned into the shape of a heart, which could become very sharp... She could use it as an axe.
"Eh? Dungeon? Uhm. No, there is no such a thing in this sector. The closest I know about is five sectors away from where you are. You have to move through mine and then travel till reaching a sector called Demeter. Once you are there, just visit an information building or ask someone to know more." She explained us with a monotonous voice. I guess she wasn't enjoying talking with us.
"Alright, thanks. Now bye..." Alice quickly terminated the call. We weren't stopped in Chrissy's sector, but we had to pay taxes when we entered the other four sectors. We reached Demeter in four days.
We knew from our inherent memories that the dungeons were created by the creator of the universe. He/she gave life to these dungeon cores and let them grow. These cores can’t leave their area, but they can increase their area! Of course, the biggest they could grow was one whole sector.
The dungeons didn't ascend but grow into the next realms. This meant that when they reach a point of strength, they might create an entrance in the fifth level too. How did they do it? That, we don't know. These dungeons were made so that the creator could put his treasures into it. The creator has done this so that some stronger, more powerful people could get their hands on good treasures.

These could be things that would increase us, cultivators' progression, or things like armors, weapons, pills, combat skills, cultivation skills, martial arts, and many kinds of weird things.
Of course, each dungeon contained mostly only treasures that were on that level of a realm, but the rewarding system depended on your performance. Let's say... If you can finish a dungeon which is for cultivators at the fifth stage at most, then if you are at the sixth stage, then even if you can finish the whole dungeon, you probably won't get anything out of it.
If you wanted to gain something from these dungeons, then you had to fight with your life on the line and show your potential and talent. That's how dungeons were. We were sitting in our spaceship while we were looking out of the windows. When we were nearing the barrier between the two sectors, we saw a thin filter between the two sectors.
It felt really weird how these sectors are so devoid of stars and planets. When we flew in space, we always felt as if we would be at the end of the world. In my past life, I could always see millions of stars and we heard news about new planets being discovered numerous times, yet here? Everything felt so empty. Of course, that's going to change because, in the fourth realm, there are mini-galaxies.
This makes me think that Earth is somewhere above the fourth realm, but then how is it such a small planet? I can only wonder... for now! As we went through the see-through, pale-white filter, we felt a weird feeling pushing on our bodies, even though we were in a spaceship. Upon passing it, we felt that weird and pushing feeling disappear.
In front of us, appeared Demeter sector. We were stopped at our ways by a spaceship, just like on our way here and it asked for the tax, which wasn't much, considering the amount we have collected thanks to Shao Xian. But the race stopping us were beastmen! This meant that this was a Stagnant Sector or a Beastmen Sector. After flying for an hour, we arrived at our destination.
It was a huge planet, bigger than Orbon. It had an endless greenery covering its surface. Upon entering its atmosphere, we have also seen many high mountains, which were much taller than the mountains of Earth. Thanks to our mind power, I was also able to measure up a close by mountain, which was fourteen kilometers tall!
The planets are four times bigger than they are in the mortal realm, but this is also true about the trees, monsters, mountains and plant life on it. As I learned it thanks to televisions, our planet was supposed to be born from meteors, but the cultivators know it differently.
We know how the Universe Energy is everywhere, but there are points in the empty space where these energies are tangling together and by doing so they are slowly creating planets that are made up of a mix of these energies, then after millions of years, a planet is born.
Contrary to that, in the higher realms, these planets are born much quicker and there are galaxies, star fields. This is because the higher realms have much higher concentrations of Universe Energy. Space is infinite there. Here, in these lower realms, all of these sectors are made up of at most about three to four planets. But there are trillions of these mortal and low-level sectors.
We could say that the mortal realm sectors are counted in trillions, while the second realm sectors are counted in the billions. The world of Droney where we have ascended to was connected with three lower realm mortal sectors, while this one was connected with about fifteen. This clearly showed that there are great differences even among these sectors.
Droney had four planets, but those were only about the size of Saturn, which was quite rare. It was a really small world. Demeter sector also had four planets, but those were at least thrice as big as Jupiter! This showed that they had much greater populations and there were many people at the ninth stage waiting for ascension.
The size of these sectors wasn't necessarily the same. After we landed, we used the remote control of the spaceship to send it back to space and hibernate. Like this, it can live off of the sun rays, giving it enough energy just to awaken its system again if its owner wishes so.
Of course, we didn’t land blindly. Before landing, we went around the planet looking for a bigger clearing where we found building looking objects so we landed a few kilometers away from it. For us, moving a few kilometers was like running 30 meters for a mortal. In a few seconds, we were already right outside the city.
We didn’t hide our bestial traits or else we would be probably attacked. With a tail continuing to grow out from where our spine was supposed to end and with scales on our hands, feet, and with our slit eyes, we surely didn’t look human. Although we can transform into our monster forms only after reaching the third level but using our battle forms was possible.
The place where we came to was a mid-sized city. It was made up of wooden houses. Everything was made up of wood. The beastmen usually liked to be close to nature, so they preferred living in houses made of wood. There was a huge gate with two tiger-men standing in front of it as guards. They also had tails, ears and a little fur on their arms.
They also had longer canines, but otherwise, they looked quite human. As we went closer to the city the tiger-men guards stopped us. “Halt! Let us check you guys!” They shouted as they crossed their weapons in front of us. “Alright but no touching haha," I said with a small laugh in a not so joking tone.
“...” They didn't say anything other than raising their eyebrows. [If they dare to try touching you I’m going to kill them.] I fumed in my mind, thinking about how they might try to touch Alice. [Hmph, lowly tigers touching a dragon? They should feel honored to be in my presence.] Alice said jokingly, while she played the stuck-up noble role, which made me laugh.
Soon after we were ‘checked’, but all we had to do was to show our beastmen traits... "If you wouldn't wear those black capes we would have never stopped you... Why would we want to touch you?" They remarked with raised eyebrows and they made faces which indicated that they are thinking that I'm an idiot...
[You surely had to threaten them... Haha, They didn’t even try to touch us. To begin with, I’m sure they felt the difference in power just from our auras so most likely they didn’t dare to be cocky.] Even Alice laughed at me. Ugh... I just wanted to be protective of her! [Fufu~ don't cry over spilled milk. I understood your intentions. I'll reward you when we have time, alright?] Alice soothed me.
Hearing her words, I've immediately gotten into a better mood. This beastmen city was very much different compared with human cities. Those were made of metals and grayish stones whilst this was completely made of wood. You could see how proficient they were at wood crafting. All of these houses were a piece of art made of beautiful carvings.
We marveled upon seeing these houses. [Since we are actually True Divine Beasts I can already feel how I feel more at ease in a place like this. Becoming one with nature sure is easier here. It's no wonder that they are cultivating in such places!] I thought seriously as I appreciated the place.
After sensing our surroundings, we have stopped a beastmen who was weaker than us. Although we could kill easily kills even someone at the ninth stage, but they wouldn't know that, so we had to search for someone who was weaker than us if we didn't want unnecessary trouble.
Beastmen respected strength! Humans were the same, but not in such a large margin! Here, if you were powerful enough everyone would TRULY respect you. Beastmen lacked the envious instinct humans had and were more honest too. Of course, there were exceptions to everything but generally, they had better personalities in a way.
They were worse, though when it came to politeness and temperament. They never hid any of their feelings, completely showing them all. This aspect of theirs also caused many problems... We went towards an inn and booked a room with a single bed. The innkeeper raised her brows upon this and told us not to be loud at night... they indeed didn’t hide their feelings and talked unrestrained, but none of us minded it.
Afterward, we went out of the inn and searched for an information house. We learned that this planet is called Kilner. We also learned that the dungeon was about twenty thousand kilometers to the west of this city. Seeing where the sun was about to set it wasn’t hard to tell which way was west...
We went back to the inn and after using wind magic to conceal our ‘loudness’, we slept. The next day we left the city and went towards the dungeon.

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
