Jack popped the inside mechanism of his tomb; as the lid slid back, he floated out of his tomb. Leslie was left crumpled within the tome in a pile of sweat and exhaustion. It was currently the middle of the following day.

"I-I think I am going to let Emily have her time with you, as often as she likes... I'm going to make a schedule. I don't think I can keep up with you...!"

Jack floated over to his shoe rack and slipped on his shoes. He turned to look at Leslie, as he waved his hand. She was pulled from his evening tomb, and gently positioned to sit on the side of the tomb.

"Why is that?" Jack asked softly, as he floated over to Leslie.

"I don't have much experience, but talking with mom, I don't think you should be able to provide so much... stimulation while soul bonding."

[So, in other words, I'm the champ!] Jack thought to himself.

"Well, I like playing with your soul. It's not hurting you is it?" Jack asked with a concerned tone as he used the back of his finger to caressed Leslie's face.

"No... It's endless pleasure, but I have things to do today..." Leslie patted her chest.

"So, you're telling me next time that We do this, you're going to need more rest?" Jack chuckled.

"That's why I'm going to tag out with Emily. She doesn't have anything to do, and she can also take care of you." Leslie said as she put her hand over Jack's as he caressed her face.

"I wouldn't say that... She's going to help with some alchemy to produce the new City."

"She didn't tell me she was an alchemist." Leslie looked up in thought, as she still felt fatigued.

"I'm not sure how much learning she has, but she seemed knowledgeable."

Jack looked over to his desk to a certain jar, "Joan are you still in there?"

"Of course, my God-King." A rough female voice vibrated the jar.

"Good." Jack nodded, as his hand left Leslie's face, he reached into his evening tomb, and retrieved his laptop.

Jack opened his laptop, and left it to float next to him, "Let me see something." Jack spoke aloud, "Tux are there parallel worlds?"

"Reporting to Creator, according to theory there is the Omniverse. The Omniverse is composed of every conceivable world, reality, plane, possibility, and timeline. This information was published by Grand Archanist Anderson of the Undead Archanist Union pre-Lich King era."

Leslie's mouth gapped listening to this explanation, even Joan within her Jar stopped her buzzing and became still.

"So there are multiple Elemental Planes, like the Plane of Death?" Jack asked.

"No. Planes of Power, or as you call them Elemental Planes are singular instances in the Omniverse connected to every other world."

"...Explain this with an example..." Jack asked such, as he was trying to process this information, and keep the voices suppressed within his mind.

"Picture the Omniverse as a book. Each chapter is a world, with pages of history. Think of the Elemental Planes as the index for the whole book. The index contains the information of every world for a specific purpose or reason. There is a limitation, that every world has limited access to this index or Elemental Plane."

"Why are there Elemental Planes?" Jack asked while rubbing his chin.

"It is only theorized that these are the tools used by the Grand Creator to craft the Omniverse. There are no other theories that can explain this phenomenon."

"Well then, if I strengthen this limited connection to, say, the Plane of Death I can access other parts of the same Plane that are only accessible to other worlds?"

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"Correct."

"What are you going to do exactly?" Leslie interrupted Jack, this sounded really out there! Dangerous even...

"Haha, Joan needs a new body," Jack replied, as he turned back to his laptop, not really answering.

"Tux start a new project named Project Charon. Design a ritual that will increase the connection with the Plane of Death for a limited duration for a body summoning ritual."

"Understood. Calculating time needed for project... Calculation complete. This task will take an estimated 1 hour."

[Huh? That's not too bad.] Jack thought to himself.

"...Ah... What was that???" Leslie asked.

"That was my living tome! Pretty impressive, right? Made it myself." Jack said smugly.

"No, I mean about multiple worlds and planes of power?" Leslie asked bewildered!

"It's best not to think about it." Jack didn't think too much about it. He had known there were multiple worlds from the first day he was reincarnated.

[Maybe I should put the words, 'DON'T PANIC,' in big bold friendly letters on the back of my laptop...] Jack amused himself.

Jack casually changed the topic, "What do you plan to do today."

"I just received some reports, in fact... You might want to hear one of them." Leslie spoke, after a moment of thought.

"Hmmm?"

"One of my agents reports that Stonedge is the source of the Dead Tide, but I believe it's Borda."

"That reminds me, I've been meaning to tell you. Stonedge is, indeed, the source of the Dead Tide. It was created by a researcher named Vincent. Moreover, the rogue portions of the Grimnight Clan have sought out the Kain Family, and have been dissolved into the Grimnight Family of Stonedge. Ah, and most importantly Stonedge is in possession of Super Soldiers courtesy of the same researcher Vincent."

Jack let one news bomb after another.

"Are you sure? How do you know all this???" Leslie asked as she was always the one that knew everything within Deagoth.

"During my time in the Light, I was able to listen to somethings."

"I see... Then what do We do about the Dead Tide?"

"Didn't I destroy that outside of Souigak?" Jack asked in confusion.

"One of the waves... There is another one making up outside of Souigak, and there are multiple waves pushing into both Stonedge and Borda..."

"Oh... Well, then... If it comes, I'll destroy it again, until I can come up with a better solution, at least." Jack paused, as he continued, "The Super Soldiers of Stonedge has me worried."

"More than the Dead Tide? Why?" Leslie asked.

"The Dead Tide is mindless from what I've seen... Super Soldiers would be intelligent... Intelligence is the greatest enemy."

"You believe that Stonedge is the hidden dragon?"

"Yes," Jack answered shortly.

"In that case, I will get all my available agents to get as much intel, as soon as possible." Leslie took a step from the tomb's edge, though a bit wobbly, she made her way to Jack, and pulled his floating self down to her level, where she kissed him on his bony cheek.

"I'm off." Leslie giggled, as she left. She walked out the door and made for her room. She would need to bathe, and change her apparel...

Jack watched the door close behind her, as he touched his face where she had kissed.

"Do you still have doubts about your first Consort?" Joan asked. She had decided not to dwell on what she had heard earlier, and just keep to what she did best... Murder.

"It was just a moment of weakness... We all have those." Jack spoke, as he mentally messaged Lucius.

[Lucius, where is a good place to set up a ritual without much fan fair?]

[I'd imagine the garden behind the Holy Palace.]

[That sounds good. Send that young priest again to guide me there.]

[Of course, my Lord.] Lucius replied, glad that the young priest made a good impression. Lucius had thoughts on promoting this priest if he could develop him more.

Jack chatted with Joan for a few moments, until a knock at the door sounded. Jack floated over to Joan's Soul Jar and attached it to his side with gold chains he conjured.

He then opened his door, and outside of it stood Young Priest Jasper. Jasper kneeled immediately, but unlike yesterday by his side kneeling with him was a handmaiden of Jade.

"Hello again Priest Jasper, this is?" Jack indicated to the Handmaiden, though he felt like he had seen her before.

"This is Handmaiden Leona." Jasper introduced.

"Ah, yes."

"We meet again, my Lord," Leona spoke out, as she lifted her face to Jack.

"I remember, you are one of Jade's Handmaidens."

"Thank you for remembering me. I will never forget your blessings." Leonda nodded.

Jasper was astonished to know that the God-King knew Leona, as the God-King looked over at him.

"Did you ask her Jasper?"

"Yes, my Lord."

"I take her presence is an admission of acceptance?"

"Yes, my Lord. It is all thanks to your blessings." Jasper nodded and thanked.

"That's fantastic... I'd like to trouble you to lead me to my garden." The God-King asked well mannered to his servant.

Jasper touched by the pleasantness of the God-King rose and took Leona's hand into his, and they both lead him to the garden. When Jasper found that he was going to lead the God-King again, he quickly got Leona to come with him to show her to the God-King. He was so glad that the God-King approved.

Jasper and Leona bowed to the God-King, as they left for their other duties, leaving the God-King in his garden.

[I'm glad he showed me how to get here...] Jack was constantly amazed by the maze-like structure of the Holy Palace, and its grounds.

Jack patted the soul jar on his side, "Well, Joan... In just a few hours, We will have you good as new."

"I look forward to walking again, my God-King."

Jack took a few steps into the garden path, while behind him crawling on the Holy Palace was a certain Vampire Princess wearing the garbs brought to her by Jade's Handmaidens.

She watched with interest, as Jack patted the Soul Jar.
