I was being carried to my bed by Barok, we had finalized the preparations to leave and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible the next day, so we were celebrating with the whole city in celebration.

As I have many types of resistance, both natural and due to the skills I possess, it is very difficult to be affected by alcoholic beverages and that is why I have particularly enjoyed the presence of the people from the Church of Pleasure, they have a deep research on alcoholic beverages helping to create some one of the most delicious drinks I've ever tasted.

After spending an entire day drinking something that would affect even Natasha, it was no surprise that I wasn't able to walk in a straight line on a flat street, so Barok helped me get home, he's a good person.

I don't even know if I got home, I remember blinking my eyes because they were so heavy, but after I opened my eyes I was in the imaginary world inside my head, the same space that resembles a vision of the universe full of stars, with the pathways and caloric flows of energy.

"I guess it wasn't just a blink of an eye..." (I)

I didn't even want to think about anything, even though I realized that I probably lost consciousness before I even got home, none of that mattered now, my mind was still as heavy as before, losing consciousness doesn't mean that I expel the alcohol from my body.

I kept looking at something that was very bright, it was close by, I've seen it a lot in my dreams, normally I just ignore it, but this light seems to go through my eyes to the other side of my head.

"(That crappy light...)" (I)

Without thinking about anything else I just ran towards this light and kicked it away from me this damn light was torture for my eyes.

-----------------

The next morning I woke up feeling refreshed, it seems with my stamina and regenerative powers I don't have to worry about a hangover as long as I don't go over a certain threshold.

I was walking as I exited the Dungeon's safe room alongside Karina who has been spending the last few days training alongside Alice under the supervision of High Priestess Yara.

I pulled Karina out of training to help me with this damn Dragon of Light.

When I found this super developed lizard, his head was under a waterfall while his body was immersed in the waters of a river.

When he sensed our presence, he got out of the water and sat down near the riverbank, it seems that the whole time he was inside the Dungeon he didn't get into his Human form even once.

I don't know why and honestly I don't care, I jump on the tallest tree nearby and I still don't get the same height as him.

"Looks like you've made your decision." (I)

"Yes, thank you for your help and for giving me this time to think it over."

"Time alone doesn't change anything if you decide to sit around moping around, looks like at least we can have a conversation." (I)

His eyes were focused this time, it looked like the eyes of someone resolute, the glint of sadness was still in his eyes, maybe that glint of sadness will stay in his eyes for a long time or maybe it will never go away.

But at least he's not letting sadness take him by the neck, as long as he has those eyes there's still hope for him to move forward. "I accept being adopted by you and I must thank you for giving me so many opportunities that others would not think twice to deny."

"What are the intentions for your acceptance?" (I)

It may seem like a simple question, but as I told him before, the most important thing for me is to know about his motivation and his willpower, knowing what motivated him to have this change is the best way to make sure I can trust him in the right way Just as I trust others.

"I realized that there are other things I can protect besides those that matter to me."

"..." (I)

It looks like he still hasn't fully moved on, but his determination was genuine, his eyes became more intense for a few seconds as he spoke.

"What do you think, Karina?" (I)

"It won't be how you wanted it, but it will work out." (Karina)

"Are you ready?" (I)

"Yes."

"Bring the Demon Dragon Seal." (I)

"Here it is." (Karina)

The Dragon God wasn't wrong to ask for this, wanting this Dragon to change his race and appearance, other Dragons will continue to hate him, and so I need him to become someone different.

Pov Mirian's (?????):

I was sitting on top of the mountain, it took me 3 days to get here at full speed with and I'm sure no one followed me, I even had time to eliminate some of the monsters on this mountain so as not to disturb my rest.

"How long is this going to last? It's about time for them... they're finally here." (I)

I look at the cave behind me, I can see a light flashing in the darkness of the cave and I hear the activation sound, that means the other side is in position.

I enter the cave and activate the concealment device, with that no one will be able to see the cave or enter, if someone forces entry the device I installed will destroy everything.

It would be a shame to have to get another anchor point, but all I can hope for is that everything works out.

"I hope they weren't attacked or exposed." (I)

When I got to the back of the cave, a metal floor with circuit slots similar to a magic circle was glowing with cables connecting a cylindrical device that has a space for a magic crystal and a box with some panels for configuration.

"I hate doing this kind of work..." (I)

I stand in the middle of the floor while the circuit below flashes in red colors, I glance at the space element magic crystal, it seems I have set up the magic energy circulation rate correctly.

When the circuit below me stops flashing and its light changes from red to blue, I start to feel the surrounding space change, so I feel like my body is being pulled somewhere all at once.

It felt like less than half a second when my vision stopped being rippled with fluctuations in space stabilizing to normal parameters, then I could see that I was in a room completely made of metal with a Teleportation circuit 3 times the size below me.

In front of me, there was no one, but I looked at a crystal stuck on the wall while making a neck-slitting gesture, they were late and they know it or they wouldn't be afraid to appear in front of me.

"I know you can hear me, so I hope you've already marked the course of the trip, we don't have time to lose." (I)

"[No one else came but me, Mistress Miriam.]" (Nara)

"So where are the others?" (I)

"We are in a small speed model according to the regulations I imagine, it would need 9 people minimum." (I)

"[This is a simpler model, it has automatic defenses and doesn't have weapons, all energy normally goes towards increasing speed without diverting to anything else.]" (Nara)

"In other words, an escape model?" (I)

A vehicle without weaponry for attack focused only for defense and speed like this is useless in a battle, it does not contribute anything, even for infiltration missions like the one I was on this type of vehicle is almost useless, the monsters in space are numerous and troublesome, such a vehicle if it loses its defenses it will only be a matter of time to be destroyed.

"Just tell me how long to reach our destination at headquarters?" (I)

"[82 hours if you don't have to take a detour.]" (Nara)

"Almost 3 days, looks like this thing really is fast." (I)

While I was talking I didn't stop walking, I passed by the door where my body was analyzed in different ways, after being released I leave my clothes behind and take new ones from the closet, this time they changed the outfits too, a full body outfit With joint plates and vital points, I can also feel my energy flow through my clothes more easily.

During that time I was still talking to Nara, after getting ready I follow a corridor where I make two curves before arriving at the control room where only a woman with black hair and eyes was sitting with four work tables around her, she has 4 arms each with 8 fingers, it looks like she has done extreme physical enhancement modifications.

Her eyes also behave unnaturally and must be enhancement prostheses as well.

"Welcome Miriam, this is my happiness to be able to see you personally." (Nara)

"We can talk while we go, I don't know if we can waste too much time." (I)

"How is the evacuation of the other infiltrators going?" (I)

"I was told they were on standby but their orders have changed, they are no longer investigating the world itself, they have been ordered to seek out the enemy." (Nara)

Sigh

"So they were here too..." (I)

"Their presence has not been confirmed, but we cannot deny that they are present in this world due to their importance." (Nara)

As she spoke, she didn't stop moving all her hands, her eyes also kept shifting between several holographic screens around her, I could feel the flow of energy as we reached the space tunnel.

"Finally coming home, if we can still call that place home." (I)
