After I fished cleaning up and changing, I sat at my study table and closed my eyes. Today, I was planning to sense the gap between spaces, and if possible, send my consciousness there.

With all the tension going on, this wasn't exactly a suitable time to meditate. But considering the fact that I may need to maintain the connection with my space in much harsher times, this may be the perfect time to prepare myself for those situations.

I closed his eyes and tried going further ahead into the darkness in front of his eyes. But despite the attempt, nothing happened. I couldn't move any further from where I was since I couldn't concentrate properly. Instead, I felt a severe headache, so I opened his eyes and took several long breathes.

"This is harder than I imagined."

I leaned back on my chair and tried doing it again. Unlike last time, I wasn't trying to force myself to do it this time. I made myself comfortable by leaned a little on my chair and tried relaxing. I started talking long breaths from my nose and released them slowly from my mouth. I tried sensing the various parts of my body, I could feel my hands, legs, and almost everything from my head to toe including my heartbeat and breathing.

I then started thinking about why was I meditating, why was I so tensed, and why was I feeling so much pressure? I knew that this wasn't the goal of my mediation, but without confronting these things it would be hard to move on to the next part.

I realized I was worried about everyone, and how we will have to face the future that was about to come. I was worried about Ronald and his condition. Even though I was trying to get over these, they were stuck somewhere inside my subconscious mind.

Well, I was from a world where people used to run for and from tomorrow.

It was natural to be worried about that since I was restarting my life here. But unlike my past world, there wasn't a set rule here. With enough strength and wisdom, there was a lot one could accomplish here.

After thinking about those things for a while, I tried concentrating back on my breathing. This time, things felt a bit lighter. It was as if a load had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt like a lot of surrounding mana was being collected around me.

Right when I felt the time was right, I set my thoughts free and when I tried sensing things again, I was in drifting in the gap between spaces.

It was a huge dark space with almost nothing in it. It felt like the spaces we used to see in pictures and videos back on the earth but without starts.

"Tee-hee! Someone is here, someone is here."

I could hear the voice of a little girl but there was no one as far as I could see. There was nothing except darkness.

"Who's there?"

"It's me." "It's me." "It's me." ... The girl's voice echoed several times.

'I was hoping I would be able to hear a mature male voice the next time something like this happens, but oh well..'

"Well, I can speak in a mature voice if you like. I thought you would prefer my earlier voice."

This time it sounded like a mature middle-aged man. It was somewhat similar to the Black dragon king's, but a few things about it felt different. Though unlike every other time where I was accidentally or intentionally summoned, I was the one intruding here, so I decided to be polite and apologize.

"Sorry for intruding. I am Nara, I was trying to get to the gap between spaces, but I ended up here."

"Hmm.. is that so? As far as I can remember, very few beings are able to reach this deep in this space. Are you by any chance, a planet god?"

"I am not sure what that means, so I don't think I am one."

"Interesting.. Looks like The First found a new toy to play with. I did make her like that."

The things he was saying were barely making any sense, and it more or less felt like he was talking to himself.

"Anyway, boy, is there anything that you desire? I am the most powerful being in this existence, and since you have been able to reach me, I can grant you any wish that you like. It's not just because I was bored."

The last sentence was spoken a bit hastily which made it pretty obvious why he was saying that. But the question here is: 'is what he saying real?'

I mean, you sit at your study table, try to relax by meditating, and the next thing you hear is the voice of the most powerful being in the universe that transcendence both time and space. This all sounds more like daydreaming than reality.

But then again, the past few weeks have been pretty hectic for a normal growing young boy like me. My body wasn't technically even adult yet.

At this point, it would be wiser to believe anything can happen at any movement. Also, even if he is lying, there wasn't much that I would lose if I just make a wish.

"Why are you thinking so much, just make a wish. Though it is rather fun to see you think that hard."

"Hey, so you can grant anything that I desire right?"

"Yes, anything that you wish for. Wealth, fame, power, influence, love, harem, or even things that transcend them all. What do you desire, immortality, eternal existence? Or do you wish for kingdoms and empires to rule?"

"That sounds rather enticing but.."

Now that I think about it, I was so busy thinking if what he was saying was genuine or some kind of scam that I didn't even think about what to ask.

There were several things I could ask even for myself. I could ask for a good wealthy life with everyone else, but then, I couldn't afford to be selfish here. A lot of people were currently suffering, and if there was a way by which I would be able to solve their problems, then that would make the world a lot better place.

But then again, the world was balanced as it is, so I couldn't afford to be ignorant here. If I make a too large wish and disrupt the balance, there would be chaos everywhere.

'Man, what should I ask?'
