"You are currently in my domain." The answer I got was really simple, but the implications were on another level. How strong should one be to have such a strong domain that God-kings can't even live in it? The power you should have to have it is on another level. While I knew that there were levels above God-king, they were too far for to find out.
Even Kali and Amaterasu didn't know what was above their ranks. The only person who has surpassed God-king and could give an answer is my mother, but I didn't have the chance to ask her. Coming out of my thoughts, I needed to ask another question because staying in my thoughts wasn't the most respectful behavior.
"What am I doing here?" I wanted to know that. While I couldn't do anything to her, I wanted to know why I was there. Did she call , or am I just dreaming of this?" The smile on the woman's face began to get wider as I began to panic. There were so many variables in this place that I began to get dizzy.
"Calm down, will you? While it was fun seeing you panic when you ca here, it got old fast." The calm and soothing tone that she spoke with vanished and replaced with a cold tone that wouldn't take any defiance. "Gulp." I loudly gulped as I felt my death approaching. The deathly aura that ca from her body was overwhelming .
I took deep breaths and cald myself. The situation wasn't going to get better if I kept panicking. I cald my nerves and picked up the tea to take a sip. "Ahhh." The tea did wonders, and I soon cald down. I looked over at the woman with an apologetic face. "Sorry for losing my composer in front of you. That was an unbecoming sight."
I apologized to the woman before . While there were a lot of reasons to lose my composure, I couldn't be rude in front of people that I t for the first ti. Then, a quote that Kali said to .
"While I was the strongest, I have had a lot of experience, but the one thing that stuck with is that the strong should be respected but not be feared; others harbor negative thoughts or intentions toward you."
After I apologized, the surroundings beca calr, and the woman picked up her cup and began sipping tea. The air around her beca calr as well, and the previous hostile air vanished like the wind. She set the teacup down and looked straight at . I didn't evade her eyes and looked back without fear this ti.
We stared at each other for a while until she nodded. "Good. It seems that you have cald down. Dealing with children who can't control their own emotions is annoying." I sighed in relief as her calm voice entered my ears.
"So, what am I supposed to do here?" I still haven't received an answer to my question about why I am even here. The woman before is the strongest being I have ever t, so I am curious.
"I didn't call you specifically if that is what you think. There have been a lot of people before you, and there will be many people after you. I am just the person who guides the people that co here in obtaining a tressure after a test."
'Why don't I believe that she is just a guide?' Although I wasn't sure what she was, I was sure that she wasn't going to harm , so it was for my benefit to follow what she wanted to do.
I stood up from my seat and placed my hands on the table while leaning over it. "Let's go do the test. I am missing my wives already." While it was a bit weird to appear here suddenly, it wasn't like it was alien to . Being summoned to the domain of a beautiful woman while they are thousands of tis stronger than isn't a first.

The last ti this happened, it ended up being a reunion between husband and wife, so I wasn't opposed to the idea and listened to what I had to do. The woman looked at amusedly before standing up and walking away. I went around the table and began to follow her.
The only thing I found strange was that this open plane didn't go to anything, so I didn't know where she was bringing .
When I was about to question her, I saw that mana enveloped her body from her leg towards an area above us. Mana spiraled upward, condensing into mist before crystallizing into a floating door. Though unassuming in its wooden simplicity, it pulsed faintly with otherworldly energy.
The woman before raised her finger at the door. With one quick movent, she flicked her finger downwards, and the door followed soon after. The door landed on the ground and left a shockwave.
"This door leads to an illusive realm. It is one of the requirents to further your dream divinity. There are monsters and other challenges that you have to defeat, and the reward you will get will be better the further you make it, so do your best."
I looked over at the door. While the door looked like any regular white wooden door, as soon as it opened, a dreamscape appeared in front of my eyes. Stars filled the sky inside the space inside the door, and the landscape looked like a desert, but the sand was a lot of different colors.
I could also see so golden mist in that realm. I looked over at the woman standing beside the door. "Before I walk inside, can I ask for your na?" The woman looked at and was silent. Just when I thought she wouldn't answer, she opened her mouth.
"My na is Eleanor, and I hope you have good luck on your journey." She bowed slightly like a guide would when their passengers moved to the next place.
"Nice to et you, Eleanor. My na is Jack, and I hope that our paths will cross again in the future." With that said, I walked inside without looking behind .
When I walked inside the door, the space around began to shift, and I appeared in the middle of a big room. When I looked around, I had a feeling that this room was like one of those save zones you had in dungeons. Before , two doors appeared with different descriptions.
The door on the left was nad "Playground," and the one on the right was nad "Nightmare." I considered both options and decided to choose the latter.
I thought about the risks and how dangerous they could be, but then I thought about the gas I had played in my previous life. I rembered that when I played the gas, in the beginning, even if it was the most difficult option, it would be easy. With that in mind, I walked towards the " Nightmare " gate and entered.
…
"So that is the famous Jack. What a surprise that I would et him here. He was as interesting as Seraphina told . Although his soul has been through a lot, I see that he still has the strength and resolve to walk forward." Eleanor was back drinking tea at the table where she just t Jack.
She was thinking about the eting she just had. She was sipping her tea until she let out a chuckle. "My three sizes. That was the first ti soone thought about sothing so obscene while in my presence." She was in an amused mood that she hadn't been in so ti.
She snapped her finger, and space cracked before her eyes. The space that just cracked ford a screen where she could spectate what people were doing in the illusive realm that she created. 'Not that anyone should know that.' She watched Jack's movents with a smile on her face.
…
When I entered the door, I saw I was on a floating island in the sky. I could see clouds all around the island. I recognized these clouds as the sa ones I had seen when I was drinking tea with Eleanor. Just before the edge of the flying island was a barrier, so even though the treasure was right in front of my eyes, I couldn't get it.
There was just one monster on the island, but that one monster was enough to justify the gate's na.
It was a big purple bird with three heads. It was currently sleeping, but I could see on the ground that a circle was drawn around it. The circle was likely its territory, and from the mont I stepped inside, it would awaken and attack . I looked around the clearing to see if I could use the terrain to my advantage, but a flat plane was where we would fight.
