Chapter 156: Strange dream
Chapter 156: Strange dream
After spending time lying on my porch watching the suns go by and looking at the stars, for some reason since I came into this world I always end up seeing the stars when I want to calm down or relax.
As I watch these two moons rising in the sky I can forget my problems, I can forget the dangers of this world and I can forget my responsibilities.
The truth is that when I met Ibuki, rica, Diana, and Kira I was desperate, I can see it now.
I was alone in an unknown world, hungry, scared, confused and not knowing what to do.
All I wanted was someone to trust, but it wouldn't be easy to trust anyone, without knowing the rules of this world I could end up getting killed, that's why I made these four subordinates of mine, all this so I wouldn't feel alone, their presence to my side brought me the comfort and the emotional support I needed, but it also brought me a responsibility, now everything I do I also have to consider those who follow me, I want to see them happy, I want to see them safe, but for that I need strength to protect them and money, saying that you don't need money to be happy may be true, but money makes it much easier for someone to get happiness, money may not be everything in the world but it is certainly useful.
Now that we're exploring Dungeon we're going to be able to accumulate money and get stronger at the same time, I just hope nothing happens until then.
Sigh
I wanted to forget about my problems, but I can't stop thinking about them, now that I've stopped to think about it I still haven't seen the notifications of the last fights in Dungeon, I'll check it out now.
Ding! Ding!

A smile spreads across my face, how long has it been since I got three bloodlines in one day?
I also managed to increase some levels, since I'm doing this I can change my job soon, I was thinking of doing this tomorrow, but there's no reason for me to keep things for later if I can do it now.
"(I'll first see what work is available.)" (I)
I close my eyes and think about changing my job.
Ding!
<[ Looking for suitable jobs ]>

<[ Choice between jobs:
[ Novice Mage ] [ Novice Warrior ] [ Novice Thief ] [ Apprentice Carpenter ] [ Novice Trader ] [ Novice Martial Artist ] [ Novice Hunter ] [ Grand Martial Master ] [ Adventurer ] [ Slave Master ] [ Awakening Master (Unique) ] [ Demon Breeder (Unique) ] [ Monster Tamer ] [ Apprentice Alchemist ] [ Apprentice Spiritualist ]
]>
It seems that I managed to unlock almost all the novice level jobs, I also managed to unlock the [ Apprentice Alchemist ] and [ Apprentice Spiritualist ] job, I can understand why I unlocked the [ Apprentice Alchemist ] job since I have some skills from this job after eating that shitty Alchemist, but I don't understand this [ Apprentice Spiritualist ] work, could I unlock it by awakening my spiritual energy?
That's probably it, for now, I'm going to switch my job to [ Apprentice Alchemist ] to finish all the apprentice level jobs.
I'll leave it for later to start choosing all the beginner-level jobs, I have to take advantage of it since I get (x5) EXP for jobs.
Now that I've stopped to think about it, I don't remember if I've already told everyone that I can change their jobs on my own, I also have to think about using the hidden mark on them now or leaving it for later, I'll fix it tomorrow, I've solved a lot. the thing today so I'm going to sleep early, but first I'm going to check my status.

I'm surprised every time I look at this status, I can't even compare it to the status of the weak Leech who was born in that red pool of water without even having a name.
It's been a few more months for me it feels like it's been a long journey.
Sigh
"(I think I'll go to bed earlier.)" (I)
I get up and go to my bed, just as I'm about to go to bed I notice Layla sleeping in the middle of the bed, I take her little body carefully in my hands and let her lie down on a more comfortable pillow and cover her with a small sheet I asked for. for Tania to do it especially for Layla.
"You are very careless, at least pay attention to the way you sleep." (I)
After taking care of Layla I lie down on the bed and cover myself, I'm not tired but I want to get up early tomorrow to train my magic a little more.
As I wasn't sleepy I ended up taking a while to sleep, but in the end, I fell asleep.
Zzzzzzz...
Zzzzz...
Zzz...
----------
I was lying on my bed when I woke up to the noise of heavy rain, I open my eyes and get up, then go to the window to see the rain.
"I don't understand, the sky was clear without a single cloud when I went to sleep, how did the weather change so fast?" (I)
All I saw through the window was heavy rain with occasional thunder, I turn away from the window to go back to my bed but notice something strange.
"This isn't my bed." (I)
I look around and realize this was the exact same room, but the furniture was different, I also looked over the bed but found no sign of Layla.
"What's going on here?" (I)
I go to the door to leave the room and look for the others, but as soon as I leave the room I found the same strangeness, I looked around the hallway noticing that the furniture was different, there were also pictures on the wall of people I don't know.
Not knowing what's going on I start walking down the hall, all the time I feel like someone or something is watching me, but every time I look around I don't see anything, not only don't see anything, I don't hear anything but noise of rain and lightning outside.
"... ... ..." (voice)
Suddenly I hear a murmur coming from a door a little further on, so I walk towards it slowly, always trying to pay attention to my surroundings.
As I get closer to the door I see the knob move and the door slowly open with a slight creak.
"(I don't like where this is going.)" (I)
I walk to the door and start to hear the murmur a little more clearly, I can now identify it as the voice of a man crying.
"Don't worry my daughter, daddy will help you." (mysterious man)
"Daddy will always be with you until you're better." (mysterious man)
"No matter how much time passes, no matter what, Dad will never leave her side so you don't feel lonely." (mysterious man)
As I listened to this mysterious man's tearful voice I hesitated to open the door further, for some reason something felt wrong but I couldn't figure out what it was.
Not knowing what was wrong I enter the room at once in a fighting position, but I'm surprised by what I see, the room was completely empty.
All around was a normal room, but the decor looked very feminine, I was surprised and confused to see this as just a few seconds away I could hear the voice of a man crying talking to his daughter.
In this moment of distraction and confusion, I feel a presence suddenly appear behind me, so before I can react I feel something hit my shoulder, as soon as I see what a frightening shiver runs through my body as what's on my shoulder is a skeleton hand.
In this moment of shock I hear the same voice as before the mysterious man crying, but this time he wasn't crying and his voice carried strong willpower and coldness.
"Daddy will bring the help you need my daughter." (mysterious man)
At that moment I feel a growing pain in my face, then everything around me disappears.
----------
"Wake up, stupid master, Freya is calling you to eat." (Layla)
I open my eyes only to see Layla pulling my cheek as she tries to fly backward, I grab this Fairy with one hand and look around.
"..." (I)
All I see is my usual room, the same bed, and the same furniture, so I get up and go to the window where I see that it's already dawn, I look at the sky and I don't see a single cloud there, I look at the ground too, but does not appear to be wet.
"(Was that a dream?)" (I)
