"Hmm hmm hmmm~"
’I’m freezing...’
[Listen to next ti! I told you she is so cold!]
’I hate to admit it but... you are right, Glutton. I should have thought about that more carefully.’
I sighed as I watched the night’s stars through the glass that covered the entire room.
I was sitting in the pool room, which only contained a big pool filled with a special type of water and was surrounded by glass that showed the sky clearly.
I was wearing only black shorts while the living lantern beside was wearing a 2 piece swimming suit.
Of course, because of her cold body, the water’s temperature was already under zero.
I wanted to teleport to the other side of the pool, but unfortunately, Selene was holding my hand firmly as if I’d run if she left .
And seeing her innocent, cute face while she was humming happily was enough to stop from showing that I was suffering here.
I could use my lightning to heat up the pool, but it was too much work to stop the lightning from shocking her, so I decided to endure it.
"Hey Selene."
"Hm?"
I called Selene calmly as I decided to ask her about sothing that lingered in my mind for so ti.
Isaac face appeared in my mind as I asked:
"Do you... have a dream?"
"Eh?"
Selene seed to be taken aback by my question, but then she squinted her eyes and put her tail under her chin as if thinking deeply.
Soon after, she nodded with a smile.
"I have one."
I hesitated for a mont before asking:
"What are you willing to do to achieve it? How far will you go?"
I didn’t forget the dream Isaac talked about. The Dark Order had a dream. A dream they were ready to kill and be killed for it. A dream that Taigo endure his torture and smile beneath his pain.
I wanted to know, just out of curiosity... about the others.
The dreams of people close to like Aria, Zephyr, Cel... and Selene.
Selene tilted her head.
"What do you an? I’m just going to do my best, right?"
I shook my head.
"How far morally will you go? If that dream ans too much to you, will you harm so innocence to achieve it?"
"No," Selene answered almost instantly, "Why would I do this? If I have to harm innocent people then I’ll simply try sothing else or give up. They do have their own dreams too, don’t they?"
I looked directly into her moon-like eyes. Her breath was steady, her heart calm and no hesitation was found in her eyes.
I smile tugged at my face as I let out a sigh.
’Yes, not all people are lunatics like the Dark Order.’
"What about you? Do you have a dream?"
I shook my head.
"No... I don’t."
"Oh."
Selene paused for a mont before continuing:
"Well, we have nothing to do currently. Take this opportunity to think about a dream — sothing that you’ll be happy after achieving."
"Fine..."
As we fell into silence, I began to think... What would make happy?
Sothing that would take effort but in the end it would bring joy.
The answer was clear as the sky for .
It was punishing so guilty sinners and getting rewarded for it!
That was my forr job that I liked, but to make it a dream, I had to exaggerate what made happy on it, turning it into a one ti thing that is hard to achieve and might not give much benefits.
Getting rewarded wasn’t sothing worth becoming a dream. As a genius Exalted, earning money was the easiest thing to do.
So that left only one option.
’Punishing sinners."
My lips curled into a wide smirk instantly.
In my past life, I had always stayed passive, waiting for soone to give proof and money to kill soone.
And in this life, I only cared about those who either angered like the Dark Order or who might put my future life in danger like the demons.
’What about finding them myself?’
Instead of staying passive, what about searching for them without getting paid?
Instead of only caring about demons... what about killing all sinners in this world?
’Yes, that’s it! Cleaning the world from all sinners! Let them be demons, humans, elves, orcs, vampires, the governnt, the Dark Order, the kingdoms and everyone!’
How would I do that? How could I find and kill all of them? Why would I do that?
I didn’t know.
That was the nature of a dream, wasn’t it? For soone else, it might seem illogical, but for , it would bring joy!
I could already imagine it.
A world where there were no sinners, because whenever soone did sothing bad, they would get punished instantly!
So would get small punishnts according to their cris, and others would imdiately die!
’Do you think we can do it, Glutton?’
[.... I think you have lost your mind.]
’You will be allowed to eat most of them.’
[Of course we can do it!]
With a satisfied smile, I looked at Selene and said:
"I think I have a good dream to achieve now, thank you."
"Oh, glad you—!"
Before she could continue her talking, I stood up and carried her up, helping her to stand on her feet.
As Night Terror began to cover , I took a towel out of my storage and handed it to her.
"What about you wearing sothing and follow to the library if you are free? I want to check sothing out."
She raised her eyebrow, looking at with confusion.
"Why too sudden? Is it related to that dream?"
I nodded.
"Yes, it is."
After all, I still couldn’t trust Isaac nor the governnt blindly. I had to see who was my real enemy.
If Isaac was lying, then I’d continue my plan of trying to change the novel’s ending.
So what if he was telling the truth?
Then maybe I’d have to punish many more people to achieve my dream.
I had to know who the enemy was.
And that would start by visiting the library.
