*Whoosh*

Thousand of sharp needless filled the sky, each of them were made with special materials used for armor-piercing bullets. Even Peak A rank would become a sack of holes once it got hit with this. Not to mention there are thousand of them.

On the ground, a man with newly cut short hair that covered his forehead was wearing a black kimono and wooden slippers.

He has a blindfold on his face as he dodges the fast descending needless with ease.

This is Fein trying to surpass the limit of his perception. He was increasing the number of needles to increase the difficulty of every session.

Why does he need to train his perception when he already has "Chess Perception"? That's the problem... Fein was doing this so that, even when he was in his normal state he won't be caught off guard. A situation where he can't enter "Chess Perception" in the future might arise in the future, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

This continues for hours, every move of his is perfectly measured, he sometimes only shifts his body by inches to avoid the needless, while sometimes he would be forced to move at his maximum speed

Fein's body produces after images, he continued to do this until all the needles in the sky had fallen.

He slumps on the ground, his breathing was heavy at the high-intensity movement he has performed.

"Are you finished?" Sofia came behind him.

"Yeah, now I feel great" Fein smiled as a response.

"So what's the next plan?"

Sofia looked at his sweaty face and new look with a blush on her face.

Fein proposed to cut his hair after she have known that Sofia was skilled in haircuts.

Now, with this new look of Fein, Sofia was amazed at the big difference he has undergone. His defined face was now more noticeable, and his short hair made him look younger than before.

This is also the first time Sofia saw him without his glasses.

'He really looks handsome now, why does he like to wear glasses when he looked much younger without them?' Sofia was a bit confused.

Fein told him that his glasses broke from the battle yesterday.

Fein took a deep breath before answering. "We would go first underground, then proceed to the Evil God."

"Won't you consider it? That creature gave me creeps just after seeing it once."

"Then that's more of a reason to do so." Fein curled up his lips.

"..."

The corner of Sofia's mouth twitched

...

-1 hour later-

The main characters were on the back of Aoi flying freely in the sky.

Fein reluctantly agreed to Sofia after she told him how far the underground was...

Well, it was 200 miles from this place, even if he has a spirit of adventure, he's not that dumb to stubbornly stick to a single decision that might slow them down just for fun. Contrary to it, he was quite flexible.

'If we continue to walk like this, what year of the monkey would we reach that place? And the flight in the sky is also part of the adventure right?'

Fein look down at the Desert while he was in the sky.

He saw the 2-kilometer part of the desert that was frozen by Aoi. But after he compares it to the whole size of the desert, he found out that it didn't even reach the tip of an iceberg. The whole desert was so vast that he can't see where it ends using his vision.

"This desert is quite big, I guess it's even bigger than an empire," Fein commented.

"You're right, I have explored it for a whole day but I didn't even manage to see its end. Well, the area around where I encountered THAT is probably the end. Because there was a red line dividing the two" Sofia said her opinion.historical

Fein was quite curious about the area where the red line is... But, he was more interested in the underground passage Sofia discovered.

Albert had already told him that inheritances are usually found in underground and cave passages. If his guess was true, then it would be a windfall, the gains won't be small!

"Are you sure the passage doesn't have a monsters guarding it? That is quite suspicious... I hope, this place would give us some surprise! I am quite tired of seeing this plain and boring Desert."

"I'm sure of what I've seen. There's not even a trace of activity in there. Sometimes I wonder, is this world truly a separate dimension, or is it just a planet like ours but became like this for a certain reason?" Sofia told him the theory she has thought of.

"HAHAHA! I didn't know you are interested in such things" Fein giggled slightly, he looked at her while doing a pretentious laugh clearly intending to annoy her. "You are thinking too much, if that was the case, then won't our world be the next one? After all, this dimension is located on our planet."

After saying this he looked at her. Suddenly he stopped, and his smile became stiff.

Sofia has also a wide eye after realizing the possibility of what he said.

"It won't be possible right?" Fein asked jokingly.

He realizes that he probably discovered an astonishing secret that could bring a disaster to the world.

"Yeah, there's just no way..." Sofia nodded trying to calm her restlessness.

"If it's true, we can't do anything either, only your father and high-ranking people have the strength to do anything, but who would believe us? Even us aren't sure yet if our conjecture is true." Fein expressed his thoughts on the matter.

'This secret realm is really more like a planet, just the existence of civilization was already hinting that this dimension was once similar to the outside world. So, if this was really a planet once, what happened?'

'Could this be another thing that is related to the gods who vanished in the past? After all, it was recorded that they hid from the world to recuperate their strength. But they didn't show up for millions of years now, what happened to them? And why is this dimension placed on the planet "Eudaimonia"? I don't believe in coincidences. After all, everything should have logical explanations behind them.' Fein massaged his temples after thinking of the doubts he has regarding this dimension.
