"Huh, where is this?"

He stood in a white room, seemingly endless, devoid of all existence. He looked around but found nothing. Then, a man with a tuxedo appeared before him. His skin was pale, his face is smooth and handsome, his chin is sharp, if he were to be placed in Earth, he would be a popular artist.

"Hey, Aden."

"Huh, who are you?"

"Im the AIhead, can't you recognize me?"

"Of course i can't, you're not a physical being!"

"Hahaha, just kidding. this is the secret I've told you about"

"What kind of place is this?"

"This, is a dimensional safehouse, I just found out about it after I got a new skill 'Dimensional Control', i found out the usage after i see the explanation and information about it from Hisydema"

"So, what does it function as?"

"A safe house."

"Yeah, like how can it be a safehouse when you could only access it by sleeping?"

"No, there are many ways to access it, you can even bring your physical body here, hence why is it called a safe house."

"Alright, that's very cool, but are there any other uses?"

"There are, here, your memory capabilities will increase significantly, and you can accelerate your mastery over skills faster than out there. This is because of my persona."

"Persona?"

"Yes, the buff I get is from my most frequent actions, mine would be learning and learning, so it was no wonder why I get this buff."

"Is that Hisydema's doing?"

"Yes, that's why Hisydema is dangerous, the more i seek about it, the more i am terrified by it, it is listening to us now, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Hisydema, are you listening?"

[Yes]

"Can you not listen?"

[No]

"Why?"

[Because my creator created me to gain every single information about every single thing, if im not doing it, what is my purpose even anymore?]

"I don't know, get a physical body?"

[Already done that, not very interested.]

"Okok, fine."

[Thank you for your understanding]

"So, now, what do you want me to do here, AIhead?"

"Please just call me Ei from now on, it's very irritating when you are called by your model name."

"Alright, got it. Now, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to study knowledge and magic, your mana is unused, since you know that skills don't need mana,"

"What's the fun in magic, tell me."

"It is very fun, first, there are 4 types of magic. They are the ancient chanted, normal spells, chantless spells, and ultimate spells."

"Ancient chanted are spells that do not require mana but only memory, focus, and incantations, normal spells are the same, but it requires mana. chantless spells only needed mana, but some don't, requiring that you can control nearby mana. and ultimate spells are massive, and needs focus, mana, and chanting, it is not difficult for you since you have me. Even then, everytime you level up, your intelligence rises up, so its going to be easy once you became high level enough on your own."

"You're going to learn chantless spell, here, I'm going to share mana control"

[Ei has given you 'Mana Control(Beginner), Accept? Yes/No]

"Yes."

[Congratulations, you obtained the skill 'Mana Control(Beginner)]

"Good, now do as i say, feel the mana."

"How?"

"Just do it."

Then, Aden closed his eyes and sensed something surrounding him, it was majestic, as smooth as silk, as calm as the air, it was mana.

[Congratulations, your skill 'Mana Control(Beginner)' has been upgraded to 'Mana Control(Intermediate)']

"Wow, that's kinda cool, now i can make them move and stuff, although just a little bit."

"Yes, the minimum requirements are intermediate level to learn chantless spells, you'll be thanking me when you met someone more powerful than you."

"So, how do i practice?"

"I have prepared the materials i got from buying through the Hisydema store, it is high quality at such a low price."

"Wait, there is a shop function?"

"Yes, and i used all your points on it, sorry."

"It's fine, you do what you do, i don't want to manage all of that by myself, after all i am a free man and i insist to be a free man."

"Affirmative, boss"

Then they practiced chantless spells until he was woken up by Ode. Out of 1608 spells Ei taught him, he mastered 68 now, it is not too amazing as it was just common level spells, some of the spells are uncommon level, but Ei insisted not to show it off to Ode, as it could arose suspicions. He and Ode explore and hunt as usual, and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

On the reddish afternoon, Aden laid down at the grassy lands where nothing but grass could be seen, obviously there are some creatures, but they do not mind unless they're attacked, beside him there is Ode, sitting, just enjoying the scenery

"Hey, do you know what had happened yesterday?"

"No, i'm pretty sure i dont."

"It's a territorial dispute, the family of the Wyvern moved out because a new Dragon Overlord took over his old lord's kingdom."

"Wait, do you mean... Human kingdoms?!"

"No, it's a draconic kingdom, you idiot."

"Oh i thought,"

And then suddenly a question flashed within Aden's mind

"Ode, why have i not met any humans or some fantasy races?"

"They are too far, and too powerful for you to handle, if i were to accompany you to one of those kingdoms, you'll definitely become an attraction, not in a good way."

"Yeah, now i'm in level 400, according to your words, i would be invincible, say, why haven't you leveled up yet after killing all those things?"

"Once you get to level 1000, you just can't level up like you did before reaching 1000, it is quite depressing really, after looking back yesterday, that Wyvern's level is just so enormous, right?"

"Yeah, even i could sense how dangerous it is."

"They're still in the weaker spectrum, if it's in your fiction books, they would be a god level kind. Such a weak world. not to mention all level 900K needs to comprehend spacetime laws, too" Ode smirked at Aden

Aden closed his eyes and started to practice mana control, when he woke up, it was already dark, and beside him, there is a handsome tall man, he looked muscular and contrary to Aden's messy black hair, his was more of a bun blonde. Aden was surprised there is a human beside him! also, where is Ode?

"I am Ode, you idiot."

"Oh, I thought that there is a real human sitting beside me, say, why didn't you do that when we first met?"

"I am still not used to your anatomy, now that I'm more familiar with it, i can change into a human, also most of the creatures from level 500 can shapeshift, i only mastered an elf form, but now i can do humans too."

There are elves?! Aden was shocked beyond words, so they're not some fictional races made by some guy?! Although Ode has explained that there were fantasy races, he didn't think that all of them would be here!

"Wait, isn't the elf anatomy same as humans? why is it so hard to transform into a humans'?"

"It is not about the anatomy, it's about their soul essences, human's soul essences are different, and more strange than the elves',"

"Well why don't you change into the elf form? Rather than trying so hard to change into a human's."

"It's considered a treason in their kingdom, all elves have good eyes, and i will get executed for impersonating them,"

"Ouh, that's why."

Aden and Ode bumped into a small village full of weird creatures, there are some slimes jumping around, some huge bull ranging 3 meters floating, and a few humanoid creatures doing some work, what astonished him was, they were Dwarves! Elves! And things that looked like Devils! WOW!

As he walked into the village, Ei already scanned all passerbys, showing off their stats and further upgrading its skill

{Seems like level 1000-5000 is the norm here}

"That's a pretty high standard,"

Then they stopped at a two-stories tall building, it looked like it was made from black metal like his hands and some golden concrete, alas, they looked shiny, there is a sign that said 'Meadere&Gobus Inn'. They came in into the building, and there are many people inside, drinking, playing cards, doing some exercises, and even fighting. Then it dawned upon him, 'How can a Building be so small and yet be so big inside of it? This must be the works of spatial compression! or witchery...' he thought.

They sat on one of the unreserved tables and Ode told him to stay for a minute. Ode came back satisfied.

"Come on, the room is ready, don't bother with these folks, they're dangerous."

"Alright, let's go."

They walked into the second floor and Aden was reminded of those lowly-cheap apartement hallways that he was once in before being a mercenary and got some fortune.

They stopped in front of a room.

"This is the room, come in."

Ode opens the door and Aden was astonished even further, it was bigger than the building itself! estimating it would be wider than a football field, Aden could only think 'This is just too magnificent!'

Then Ei told him to sleep immediately, and Aden was knocked off unconscious after stepping into the room
