Above the Death Sea, the KY17 flew past like a meteor, creating a whistling sound.

They had left San Pluto and arrived here within just five minutes of flying, the speed of the air carrier was unlike anything that Ivan, Glen, and Ralph had ever seen before; it was even faster than a bullet and broke the sound barrier!

The trio looked down at the Death Sea, which was thousands of kilometers long through the windows of the air carrier; it separated the base of the Dominion Tower from the abandoned continent.

They had been briefed on what their mission was going to be by the vice tower master during their ride to the abandoned continent, it was a newly discovered mirror gate that had been claimed by the Owen Tower and needed more hands with exploring.

Their first mission was to the dreamscape!

After flying for another minute, the sight of a small island finally came into view. The KY17 began to slow down and the island grew bigger as they approached it.

Flying past the shore of the island, the trio could see signs of battles. Shattered trees and deep craters littered the island.

Flying for another five hundred meters, they started to see small moving black dots and structures; these were people and structures that had been used to construct a base on this part of the island.

The KY17 lowered and found a place to drop, the ramp lowered after.

“Alright, let’s go out!” The vice tower master voiced out before walking out, and the trio followed behind her.

“Welcome back, vice tower master!”

Two groups of Nexulytes in black uniforms lined up in front of the lowered ramp and saluted immediately. They saw the vice tower master coming out, responding with a nod of her head; the vice tower master turned to one of the Nexulytes in front and asked.

“What’s the current situation!” Her voice was loud and authoritative, unlike how she had been talking to the trio during their flight; she had assumed her role as a leader now.

While the vice leader was receiving the reports from the man, Ivan, Glen, and Ralph were marveling at the sight of the base that had been built in the middle of the forest.

A space of over 1000 meters had been cleared of all trees, and tall and spacious structures of gleaming, sturdy black materials had been constructed in the cleared space.

People wearing protective body suits and metal body pieces patrolled the perimeters of the space constantly while carrying laser guns and other advanced weapons.

Small land carriers could be seen transporting huge pieces of equipment from one structure to another and voices could be heard from all directions.

This place looked just like a miniature-sized fortress of the northern defense base!

Well, aside from what was in the middle of this fort.

With a thick metal ring that has flickering devices that radiate with energy built around it, a tall squirming mirror gate could be seen. The sight of it was awe-inspiring and frightening at the same time.

It was a mirrored gate after all.

“You three, come with me!”

The loud voice of the vice leader sounded, pulling the three from their trance state.

They quickly came back to their senses before following behind her as she led them to the third largest structure in this base.

It turns out that this structure was a sort of office quarter where groups could meet up for planning and preparation making.

Following the lead of the vice tower master, the four of them came to a spacious room with just a chair and a table in it; the room didn’t have a window and a digital display projected the image of a blue sky on the wall.

Taking the only chair in the room, the vice tower master placed a file on the table before turning to look at the trio.

“You are currently at the Partial Lord rank, right?” The vice tower master asked while staring at Ivan, the latter nodded in response.

” According to normal protocols, you should be entitled to a team of six to ten True King subordinates who will each have four Mortal King subordinates. But for your first mission, the number of your subordinates will be reduced to see how you manage them.” The vice tower master informed, she paused and took a look at her file before adding.

“Your party for this mission will include a team of five members including yourself. Your teammates should be randomly selected for better judgment on your leading ability but under the special requests of the tower master, you three will be on the same team and will be paired up with other two rookies who just finished training”

After saying all this, the vice tower master took out her communicator and said into it.

” Bring them in,”

A while later, the door of the room opened, and two youngsters who were in similar black uniforms as Ivan and the rest were led in by two officials in black body suits.

The two officials saluted and left after leading the youngsters in.

Ivan, Glen, and Ralph turned to look at the two people who were most likely the two rookies that the vice tower master talked about.

One was a 19 years old looking handsome young man with dashing features, he had red wavy hair that fell below his ears and his eyes were almost narrowed to a slit; Ivan wondered if he was able to see with his eyes closed.

The other party was a tall young girl who seemed to be in her early twenties. She had a cute round face, large blue eyes, a small nose, and pink lips that formed a cheerful smile.

She had long blue hair that was styled up in a single ponytail and held by a black metal hair clip that kept hair in place, preventing it from moving unnecessarily or scattering.

She could only be described by the word ‘cute’ as everything about her screamed of innocence.

She gave the ‘next door cute junior sister’ vibe despite being around Miss Elora’s age.

“These two will be the rest of your team, go out and try to get familiar with each other; you have two minutes before you enter the mirror gate.” The vice tower master ordered.

They all saluted before walking out in a single file.

Immediately after exiting the room, the five of them found an empty room.

It took them only a couple of seconds and they immediately went down to business.

“Clint, Elemental God talent, dark element, True King rank.” The boy with the red hair said with his eyes still closed, his voice was void of emotions and made Ralph and Glen turn to stare at Ivan. Their eyes say, ‘A second you!’

After Clint introduced himself, the girl with the ponytail immediately stepped forward and introduced herself.

Her name was Karin, she was at the True King rank as well and had a weapon master talent.

Everyone’s impression of the girl immediately after she introduced herself was that she was a very chatty and easygoing person; she was just like Glen.

But the odd thing about her was her weapon…her weapon was a mallet!

How could a cute girl like her own a mallet?! The sight of Karin swinging a huge mallet that was almost three times her size left them with their eyes twitching.

After the two introduced themselves, Ivan, Ralph, and Glen took turns introducing themselves as well.

In the end, they had concluded that their team was a team with one Partial Lord, Ivan, two True Kings, Clint and Karin, and two Mortal Kings, Ralph and Glen.

Soon, their two minutes’ time was up and the vice tower master came looking for them and led them to the mirror gate.

Tapping on a few spots on the metal ring surrounding the mirror gate, the ring broke into three pieces that floated a meter around the mirror gate and created a path for them to pass through.

“After getting to the other side, someone will provide you with a land carrier and supplies and then give you further instructions on how to proceed. Remember, hesitation might lead to death” the vice tower master reminded before asking them to go in if they were ready.

Ivan and his team stood in front of the mirror gate, a heavy feeling settling in his heart. After stepping through this gate, he would enter a new world, this was no longer a simulation; everything that happened from now on was real.

Stepping closer to the mirror gate, it made a weird sound and like a wormhole, sucked all of them in.

The dreamscape.
