Somehow I managed to escape from the pervert goblin and found the hole that I dug, where I passed out from mental exhaustion

Huh?

What is this place?

A dream? This is the first time I am having a dream since coming to this world

... I clenched my fists and I felt the sense of touch

No, this is not right, for a dream this is too realistic and I can even feel the touch and think, there's no way this is a dream, but what is this dark space? Where am I?

I thought doubtfully and tried to look around, surroundings were pitch black, but I could see myself perfectly

Then there was a blinding light in front of me, I put my hand to cover my eyes, the light was too bright

- Dylan, don't you recognize me?

Huh? This is the sovereign's voice... I have only heard his voice and never seen him personally, is he showing himself to me? What's the reason?

I got actually curious as to what he looked like, his voice was of middle aged man, so I expected him to be tall bulky bearded man with evil grin plastered on his face, as if mocking me

The light was subduing and the figure appeared in front of me, I was left speechless, it was not what I expected, it was a very beautiful goddess with silky silver hair, godly gown and presence that would make mortals suffocate if close and worship if seen from far, she was truly beautiful, her red lips were attractive and charming, her chest was big and round, there was small cross on her neck along with some necklace which would probably count as national treasure on earth, she was smiling, it blinded me and I almost blanked out, If she was compared to all the idols and most beautiful girls on earth they would shy away in shame, because her beauty was too godly

I did not know what to say so I waited for her to say something

Suddenly her sweet smile turned into smirk and her lips moved

- Yo, Dylan don't you recognize me?

My dumb smile changed into disbelief, then my expression turned ashen and I even puked some blood

- Guha, huff, that's not funny, were you going to traumatize me to death?

- Puhahahha, It's fun to see you all flustered, got ya!!!

Then I heard her, no, his annoying laughter

How can this guy be so shameless? Just because he is powerful and can do anything does not mean he has to bully me to this extent, that almost gave me a heart attack, even now, I did not dare to look at him/her, afraid to wound my heart which beat frantically from many emotions

- It's safe to look now, lift your head up

I heard his voice

- Shameless! How can I believe you? Ha , ha, it's fun to bully me, I get it, so please stop playing pranks, I might not survive this next time

- Eh? You are no fun Dylan, this is your willpower training, you have not seen enough shit and your mind is weak?

- Why is there a question mark, that was an excuse wasn't it?

I yelled while trying to wipe the blood from my mouth with hands and still looking down

- It's ok, really, look at me, I changed my appearance

I looked up and this time I was even more afraid, because what I saw was not normal, her/his body was still the same but her/his face was constantly changing from one person to another, the change was slow yet fast, in merely seconds his face changed multiple times as if it was normal, it was truly bizarre and horrifying

- What the fuck are you?

I asked, taking a step back in the darkness, I involuntarily appraised him but as expected, I could not find anything

??? Level ???

- Oh, Dylan, you really want to appraise me? There you go, try again, you can learn more about me, aren't you interested what I really am?

- No thanks, I do not want to be further horrified, please take one face, stop it, it's creeping me out, seriously

I begged

- You are so easily scared and freaked out, what if this happens when you fight? I won't let you disappoint me, SEE MY TRUE FORM, FEEL THE TERROR AND IF YOU CAN SURVIVE YOU WILL BE QUALIFIED TO BE MY AMBASSADOR IN THE FUTURE!!!

As he said it, the world turned bloody red, his body stretched into millions of black threads and like very old and complicated web of spider, his figure stretched into thick fibers entirely made out of darkness, but these fibers were wriggling as if they were alive, horrifyingly dreadful eyes of different size, color and aura appeared on the thick fibers, I heard some noises in my head, as if thousands of souls were screaming to seek my help, I felt their helplessness, wrath and curse, my eyes were entirely wide, the thick miasma of chaos and death enveloped the surroundings and I felt that my life was hanging between line of life and death, I could do nothing but stare in horror as my mind was attacked by echo of screams and my eyes saw the most terrifying sight

The fibers were constantly changing, some parts were full of darkness, some parts would create the dark creatures, some were bigger than planets, some were as small as insects, they were of all shapes and size, but all of them were letting out thick miasma of death which made my very soul uncomfortable, I tried to resist, I tried my best to not succumb to the feeling of helplessness, because I had the feeling, if I gave up on resisting now, I would lose my sanity

And then even if I did not appraise him, the information flowed about the monster in front of me, the sovereign of four realms, god of games, but that was not the scariest part of him, he killed gods and I believed it, even if he revealed just the smallest part of his status which was the tip of the iceberg of his true power, that's how I felt

I do not know how long the struggle continued, and then another darkness enveloped me

Once I woke up my head was aching

- Eh? I have a feeling I had a dream but... I can't remember it... Oh well, it's time to find leader, I slacked for one day, I hope he's not angry, no he needs me, he won't get angry at me

I told myself reassuringly, stretched my body and exited the hole that I created, thankfully there has not been a rain yet and I have not remained homeless, ah screw it, I will get a hut for myself after all, my sides are aching after sleeping here

POV change

- Good, good! You did not disappoint me Dylan, your willpower is stronger than you think, to think that you would handle my true form... kukuku, despite being so weak and lacking in mentality, your last line of defense is quite strong, because you have the ability to accept the unacceptable in the shortest amount of time possible, even if you don't realize this, your conscious is weak, but your subconscious... kukuku, I am looking forward to your growth, do not disappoint me

The figure said in full darkness, no, he was the darkness himself
