Origin Of Evil 72 Eden

He left the market and headed for the HUB. After getting out of the elevator, all he saw was a big paradise like garden. A few steps in, he actually saw a sign: Eden.

Dorian wondered, did the Eden from religions come from here? However, after a moment he received a message saying:

[The HUB is a platform only accessible to people from your home world. Our services decided to create this garden from your world's mythology.]

Well, if he wasn't sure about whether people from his world ere taken for Dreamland, he now had his confirmation. He could already see people talking to each other. Dorian didn't intend on talking to them, but one of them saw him and came over.

She was an attracting girl dressed with clothes that didn't leave much to imagination. Clearly not a warrior. She smiled and said "Hi, are you new?"

Dorian asked "Why?" She pointed above his head and said "Look." Dorian looked up and saw that a white crystal had appeared above his head. Before he could ask the girl said "This is a crystal that appears above the head of newbies. My name is Carla, what's yours?"

Dorian looked back at her and replied "Dorian. Where are you from?" Since he arrived in this world, in Dreamland, he had been cold and reserved because he was in a foreign place. But now that he actually saw fellow earthlings, he couldn't help but feel closer.

Carla replied with a smile "France. You?" Dorian smiled and said "Same, what a coincidence. Can I ask you some questions about… all of this?"

Carla laughed and said "Sure, we should help each other in such a dangerous place." But as she said that one of the guys she was with just before yelled "Carla! Come here!"

Carla looked back and disgust flashed on her face before it became smiling again. She looked at Dorian and said "Sorry, I need to go. Why don't we contact each other later?"

Dorian looked at the guys behind. There were four of them, they were all Asian and the tallest of the bunch seemed to be their boss. Dorian grabbed Carla's shoulder and asked "You need help?"

Carla looked at Dorian in shock, before chuckling sadly and saying "You really are a newbie. You should mind your business, I don't want you to get hurt because of my problems."

Dorian looked at the four guys and asked "So they are problems. And because I am a newbie doesn't mean I am an idiot, I won't just help you for free. If I kill the four of them, you have to tell me everything you know about Dreamland. Absolutely everything."

Carla was about to refuse, but then she looked at the four guys and said "Don't, you will get killed…" Dorian stopped her and said "I won't. Do we have a deal?"

Carla bit her lower lip, which made her face look even s.e.xier, and she said "Alright. Don't get killed please."

Dorian nodded and looked at the four guys. He didn't say anything and started walking toward them. One of the lackeys sneered at Dorian and said "Scram boy, if you don't want to get killed."

Dorian looked at him and said with a voice that sent chills into their spines "I won't lie to you, whatever you do you will die."

The leader looked at Dorian and said "We are four, you are alone. What do you even intend on doing? Scram, before we kill you."

Dorian shook his head and said "You are too weak for me to take care of you personally." He waved his hand, and the spirit of the Alpha Wolf appeared next to him.

As soon as it appeared, it began rus.h.i.+ng toward the four of them. The captain sneered and took out a gun, and fired at the wolf. Dorian focused but he wasn't able to follow the bullet, it looked like following his bullets with his eyes needed a higher perception.

He briefly activated [G.o.d's Sight], boosting his Perception to 36. He was able to see the blur of the second bullet, but he still couldn't see it clearly. It looked like he would need a Perception of around 40 to follow bullets with his sight.

Well, it's not like he would be defenseless against bullets, his Perception was enough to clearly follow the muzzle of the gun and the subtle moves of the finger on the trigger. Adding in his quick thinking from his high Intelligence, Dorian was able to trace out the trajectory of the bullets, so he could dodge them. If eh ever let his opponents the time to shoot him.

The four continued firing at the wolf, but after a moment the leader of the four laughed and said "Boys, stop shooting. We aren't hitting it, it isn't even material. It is an illusion."

He aimed his gun at Dorian, followed by the three, and said "Any last words?"

Dorian grinned and said "You are right when you are saying it isn't corporeal, but you are wrong saying its an illusion."

Right as he said that, the wolf reached the four and jumped on one of them. The guy ignored the wolf, and kept his gun on Dorian. The next instant, his body fell to the ground, and the wolf took out his spirit from his body.

Taking the spirit out of someone's body forcefully like that wasn't that easy usually, but he was so weak that the wolf didn't have any trouble doing it. The difficulty of doing so depended on the strength of the body, and the strength of the mind. If both were weaker than the wolf, then it could devour them easily.

The Alpha Wolf didn't absorb the spirit right away but instead attacked the other three. They tried shooting at it, but it was to no avail. In under ten seconds, all their bodies fell lifelessly to the ground, and the wolf started absorbing their spirits.

After a moment, Dorian decided to summon Tibo too. Carla was already looking at Dorian like he was a freak for summoning such a powerful monster despite being a newbie, but when she saw Dorian summon the five meters tall Yeti, she felt like she would pa.s.s out.

Dorian patted Tibo's leg and said "Go, you can eat them. Then follow me, and be obedient." Tibo nodded and walked over to the corpses.

Dorian turned back toward the pale Carla and said "I completed my end of the deal. Do yours." Carla nodded and asked "Should we talk around a coffee?"

Dorian asked "There are coffees here?" Carla nodded and said "Follow me." She lead the way and Dorian followed her. After a moment she said "Thank you."

Dorian nodded and said "Answer my questions later if you want to thank me." Carla nodded and asked "So you are a summoner? I wonder, how did you get so strong in your first world? From what I know, summoners are weak during their first few worlds, because they are alone."

Dorian smiled and said "Yeah, I'm a summoner. And I just got lucky." He hadn't corrected her, because making others believe he was a summoner was useful. Others would think that his servants are the only danger, where in reality he is the most dangerous. This could be a strong trump card.

As for Carla, she didn't really buy Dorian's answer. Being lucky wasn't enough here, but she didn't say anything because he was the one who helped her, not the other way around.

As they made their way through the giant paradise like garden, Dorian looked at the different plants with wonder. He knew none of the plants around, they all looked more fantastical than the others. Had anyone ever seen a fifty meters tall flower with seven petals all colored of different colors?

He also saw some other humans around, and this time it was different from back in the Market. This time, there didn't seem to be any limit to the strength of the people here.

At some point, he had seen someone flying in the air, without any mean of transportation, and the danger he felt from this person was stronger than the Cloud Dragon.
