Chapter 347 CH 332: THE MAGICIAN



After laughing and joking around for a while with each other, they finally calmed down and started to act and think about the situation ahead of them.

"Anyway. More seriously, do you think Eve wants us to enter the Dreamscape or something?"

"Let me see, did our beloved grandma send us without the slightest hint to another dimension in the hopes that we enter a world most likely full of cannibalistic monsters with far more experience than us that would be delighted to kill us at a moment's notice? Yeah. It checks out. Pretty sure she did send us here for that."

"But... What would happen if we simply die in this plane?"

This was the question of the day once again. The uncertainty of his death was the reason stopping him from committing suicide and was making him hesitant about his next choice.

"Okay. Let me bring in a theory I have." The Psychiatrist Adam spoke quietly and in a solemn tone.

"I am listening."

"The book says that the Dream Force cannot be used in the real world but it's extremely good at nourishing the soul, right? Seems like many Dreamwalkers use the Dreamscape as a sort of place for training themselves. At least from the little bits of info I have gathered, that seems to be the case here."

"Yeah."

"Now for them, dying is dangerous because dying in the Dreamscape means dying in the real world too, right?"

"Yep, yep..."

"But we are basically immortal, right? Pretty sure that if this place was enough to actually kill us, people would have found a way to kill, Cain eons ago, right?"

"Well..."

"So here is my theory about this place. What if... we take this place as a virtual reality game of some sort...?"

"Oooh..."

"We come. We train, we level ourselves by killing the monsters here, that we are able to kill of course, and when we die..."

"...We lose some levels and simply respawn for the second round..."

"Then we can come back and try again..."

"...And again..."

"...Until we give up or are satisfied with our growth."

"Oh..."

The two Adams stopped their line of thought. Both of their breathing hurried as they realized the implications of what they had just figured out about this place.

This was a wild theory but... If it was indeed right then, this was like a free training ground for them with absolutely no loss whatsoever.

"We need to die. Now..."

"We need to see what the penalty for death is in this plane. Dying should help us figure things out and advance from this stalemate condition..."

"Should we really go through with it? This isn't exactly a Dreamscape yet."

"Then..."

Adam looked all around him. Finally, there was a sudden thought that spurred in his mind. A boon that he had completely forgotten about.

"We have EX levels of Luck, right?"

In the end, he decided to not be the one to start the hostility between both parties. He slowly brought up the power of 'Death' but made sure to hide it inside as he did not want to frighten the little bunny girl.

"Hello! Do you mind giving me some help?"

"Kyaa! Don't eat me! I swear I don't taste good. Please take a carrot instead!"

Sadly, it seemed like his preparations were utterly useless in front of this frightened girl.

"Ah..."

Adam watched helplessly as the first person he met in this place was crouching down and crying just because he greeted her.

'Sigh, this is going to be a pain in the proverbial arse.'

He facepalmed at that realization, already knowing that this woman was going to be troublesome for very different reasons than what he had first thought up in his mind.

"I mean you no harm, lady?"

"Sniff~ Really?"

"Of course. I am totally friendly."

Adam gave a gentle smile as he made sure to hide the power of 'Death' even deeper within him as he faced the scrutiny of the girl.

"Ah!"

Then, as if startled, she suddenly jumped up into the air(?) seas(?) and started to hop left and right.

"I am late! I am so late! What am I going to do!?"

"If I may, perhaps I could give you a hand?"

"You... You would do that?"

She seemed surprised as she asked again, her eyes seemingly filled with Hope but also filled with hesitation.

"Of course. Helping others makes me really happy."

Adam made sure to act as normally as possible without mentioning how he was lost in this imaginary plane. It was better to appear bigger than he was as long as no one challenged him to a fight.

"Then... Just a little bit okay? But you must not enter, okay? If you do then the Queen will be furious at me and I will really be killed."

"Don't worry. I will be very careful."

"Then. Okay. Thanks."

"Wait before you go, may I know what your name is?"

"Me? I do not have a name. We do not use names here. They simply call me the White Rabbit. Hehe. What about you?"

"Me?"

Adam's eyebrows rose into a great arc as a genuine smile bloomed on his face, having a great idea in his mind about what identity to don on this plane.

His clothes changed and took the appearance of those that Hae-Won had given him with so much love and affection.

Holding the luxurious cane in his hands, he made a theatrical bow to her while his expression was hidden by the top hat he adorned while getting into this persona of his.

"You can call me— The Magician."
