Chapter 59: Chapter 59- Time Moves

"Yes, the laws of this world won't remain the same as it slowly transitions from one level to another."

Talon blinked in surprise. Acrypha did tell him before that the Core Dimension had different worldly laws than other dimensions but she never told him that the other dimensions also had laws of their own.

"How much change are we talking about?" He asked.

"Things like the gravity, the weather, and the size of the earth and other planets and stars will change greatly as the dimension transitions. The days will be a lot longer and almost all creatures that didn't level up enough to face this change will die. The ones that remain are the ones that know how to adapt. Basically, a whole entire new ecosystem will be created on this planet." She explained.

"So basically everything..." Talon rubbed his chin with a frown. To erase an entire ecosystem and replace it with another one, naturally, was a huge disaster.

Not to mention the other laws that are either going to be erased or changed beyond recognition. Adapting to all of these things will be really tough.

Talon was certain that he would be able to handle this change one way or another but he wasn't sure if the others would be able to. After all, they weren't as strong as he was. Talon was a special case.

'Sigh, I gotta find a way to keep them alive.' He thought to himself. Talon needed a group of survivors to do the work he didn't have to do. Things like searching for food, water, and other supplies and perhaps building a base where people can live peacefully.

He didn't want to busy himself with such matters and forget about his initial and most important goal, to get as strong as possible as fast as possible.

"When do you think the transition will happen?" He asked the most important question.

"Initially, I thought it would take a year or two for it to happen. But, with how rapidly the world and the monsters are developing, that period could be cut down a lot."

"... How much time, Acrypha?" Talon asked with a wary look.

'Don't tell me...'

"A month or two at most," Acrypha replied with a serious look. "Could be even less than that considering how abnormal this world is."

Talon facepalmed as sighed. "I hate that I expected that." He murmured. "So a few weeks give or take?" He asked.

"Yes, pretty much."

'Making the students stronger in a few weeks... If it's possible then it's going to be very hard.' He thought to himself.

"Ok, thanks for telling me. I didn't think it was going to be this early on but there is nothing we can do except get ready for it."

"As I said, you won't have to worry about it for the time being. Who knows what kind of monster you will turn into a few weeks from now?" Acrypha asked with a mischievous smile.

"Certainly not as much of a monster as you are." Talon grinned back as he replied.

"Damn, this is actually insane. To think Miss Hyun-Jae would actually start dating someone. Ugh, my angel is taken..."

These kinds of conversations spread around the gymnasium like wildfire. Perhaps the lack of anything else to do apart from talking helped greatly in spreading those rumors.

Talon and Hyun-Jae were completely oblivious to these rumors as they were too engrossed in their tasks.

With that, the day was over as fast as it started and Talon and Hyun-Jae went to bed again to get ready for the next day.

*Around 3:00 AM*

"Hnng..." Talon's eyes opened wide out of nowhere as he rose from his position with an alert look on his face.

Looking around him, he immediately heard some weird noise in the distance. The sound was very loud and booming, like that of a giant engine working at full throttle.

His face frowned when he heard that and he stood up.

"Acrypha?" He called his companion's name but it seemed she left to roam the place on her own since he was asleep. So, Talon quickly picked up his spear and headed out.

The moment he walked outside, he was met with a group of students who were rushing toward him. Their looks were far from normal as they had pale expressions.

"Sir!"

"What happened? What is this sound?" He asked seriously.

"T-There are..." One of the students tried to spark but could only halt as she took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"What?"

"Some military jets are flying over the campus!" The other student continued.

'Military jets? Those are still roaming?' Talon thought to himself. He didn't see one in days so he assumed they were gone.

"If it's only that, then there is no need to wor-" As Talon was about to turn around, the student continued.

"They're bombing the campus, sir!!"

Talon froze in his place for a second as he turned around. "What?"
