Laying sprawled on a comfortable-looking chair with his feet propped up on the executive desk before him, Lorien rested his head back as he gazed blankly at the ceiling, his thoughts drifting aimlessly.
After a while, he stood up his legs unfolding effortlessly as he strode over to the glass window behind him.
From there, he observed the busy street below, and the constant stream of cars and people bustling about who were completely unaware of his presence.
However, the scenes below weren't the only thing that entered his mind as even from his position, he was able to observe in great detail everything that happened in a 1414 Meters radius.
This is thanks to the strength improvement he had in the past 7 months as the comprehensive strengthening which included the soul, caused as a consequence an increase in his 'Divine Sense' normal state clear perception range from the previous 1124 Meters to the now 1414 Meters.
Frankly, in this modern era, finding dream energy has never been easier, if it weren't for the limits of how much he could absorb each day and the fact the dream trees haven't spread yet, his increase in strength would have been much more dramatical.
However, despite all this chaotic information entering his brain, Lorien remained lost in thought as the world around him faded into a blur as he pondered deeply.
It's been 7 months since he had first set foot in Japan, and now, the long-awaited November was finally upon him.
Realizing this, he couldn't help but think back about what had happened in this period of time, however, just as he was about to dive into his memory palace, a sudden knock sounded and was quickly followed by an upbeat voice.
"May I come in?"
Hearing this call, Lorien shook his head quickly waking up from his state, and responded.
"Enter!"
Following his answer, the door then gently opened revealing a youthful woman with a slender figure, she had shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, and wore an official suit.
Seeing her, Lorien couldn't help but think back to the first time he met her and the surprise he felt when he did.
After all, seeing her in his company was the last thing he expected as she was actually someone from the original timeline.

And this woman is Nagi Yoshino, Junpei's dead mother.
*Cough*
Throwing those thoughts aside, Lorien cleared his mind and asked.
"Did you check what I asked you to?"
"Yes, I did!" She nodded in response before continuing "According to the reports, all the trees were successfully planted and no accidents happened."
Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Lorien's face as he couldn't help but clap twice and shout out loud.
"Great!"
Seeing this reaction, Nagi got startled a bit as she didn't know why her boss would be so excited about trees getting planted.
From the rumors she's heard, she knew that he was the founder of the now very famous non-profit organization called 'Dream Project', however, even though what happened could be considered a milestone, she didn't think that this merited such excitement.
'Maybe he's just very enthusiastic about saving the environment?'
Shaking her head, Nagi suppressed those thoughts as it was none of her business anyways, all she had to do was accomplish her job.
Of course, Lorien had no idea about what his subordinate was thinking, nor did he care.
However, if he had to explain, he'd declare that the Dream Trees have officially covered the whole world and are now present in every country and city.
This actually took a bit longer than he had previously predicted as there were some guys and some politically involved parties that tried to intervene at some point.
Some were for the research and data that are very useful in the creation of for-profit products, and others because he affected their earnings.
It's just that even before Lorien or his subordinates could deal with it, the world itself did as [Luck] took effect causing those guys to fall into deep trouble.
And now that everything is well and done, all that is left now is just waiting for the trees to get linked and receive the immense amount of 'Dream Energy' collected.
However, It's a pity that this world is much stronger than the previous ones, and gaining ownership of it takes a lot more than just planting trees, at least, for the time being, that is.
After all, if he were to wait for 5 or 10 more years, even if he does nothing, he'll still receive this ownership as the moment those trees got planted, this was already set in stone.
Frankly, this is something he had long expected, after all, he didn't think that getting the ownership of each world would be a simple task.
Otherwise, he would just enter a very powerful world and plant trees there, and boom, like that, he'll instantly reach the [Transcendent level] or more.
This would be highly illogical, and unless there is a special case, then it would be impossible.
The amount of [Luck] given is always proportional to the benefits the world receives, and the same amount of energy won't give the same benefit to a high-level multiversal world as it does to a low-level world without mystery.
If the amount of energy is a cup full of water, then the multiversal world is an ocean while the other low-level world is a larger cup.
Based on this analogy, we can clearly observe the difference and the benefits those words can receive; however, we should still note that this benefit will expand with time and tend toward infinity, it's just that this still needs time.
However, thankfully, the difference here isn't as large as the previously taken example, so there is no need to worry so much about this.
It's just that Lorien isn't that focused on this aspect right now, rather, his interest was focused on the power system he is creating as those dream trees are essential in the making of the worldwide dream realm as they'll act as 'signal towers' of sorts.
'And speaking of the power system...'
