Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

A Domain that held innumerable Living Dreams, Noah not being able to affirm the count as his will was rebuffed peacefully if he tried to cover the expansive golden fountain and the marbled sand domes, castles, and skyscrapers that all seemed to be made of golden sand.

The texture between the structures and the Living Dreams moving within them was distinct as even though everything seemed to be made from golden sand and there was even the boundless crystallized golden sand leaking out from the top of the enormous Fountain- Noah could still see the differences clearly!

As for the crystallized golden sand spurting out endlessly from the fountain…Noah knew it very likely to be the Golden Sand he was looking for as <Sandman> was pointing right towards it.

"Let's see…"

His destiny didn't show any dangers even though he felt the aura of a LEGEND in this Domain, so he began walking towards this dreamy kingdom that was situated amidst sand mountains and dunes as he observed everything closely.

Particles of sand danced together on the soft ground as he moved, the auras of many beings coming closer as one could very quickly hear the busting noise and fervor from the small corner where one entered this vast domain.

Noah's steps were wide as he arrived at the edges of this dreamy kingdom in a few steps, seeing its inhabitants even closer as existences made of pure golden sand could be seen moving about!

None of them granted him any special attention as each one seemed to be going about their business, but everything was eerie and shocking to see as just in the nearby surroundings, Noah could see a stout Living Dream in the form of a strong middle-aged man…and yet he was unranked and not even in the Firmaments of Ascendancy.

Yet at the same time, he could see a small child chasing a ball of sand as from the body of this Living Dream- astounding power at the Ninth Firmament could be felt!

OOOM!

The ball of sand that the small child was chasing came to knock on Noah's feet as this creature arrived soon after, Noah using his essence to levitate the ball of sand into his hands as he gave it to the Ninth Firmament Living Dream in the form of a small child.

This being gazed towards Noah with a smile as he grabbed what he was chasing and asked.

"Mister, I haven't seen you around before…are you a visitor?"

The voice was that of a genuine child even though Noah could see the physiology of this being was entirely made of sand! He nodded with a smile as he replied, walking deeper into this domain at the same time.

"Yes. Just someone looking for something."

The dreamy streets he walked on had begun to be populated with Living Dreams as after the small child, there were old men and women, animals, and any sort of variations of creatures one could find freely moving about as if anyone tried to spread their awareness and will too far out, they would find themselves to be restricted!

"Well that's pretty vague," An old woman released waves of power at the Eighth Firmament of Ascendancy carried a sparkling bundle of fruits as she spoke as if she had overheard the conversation between Noah and the small child.

"A visitor coming to a place like this is rare, especially one as young as you."

"Oh?" Noah turned in another direction where a middle-aged man was standing in front of a stall had spoken.

But eerily, this Living Dream didn't continue to speak as once more, the first small child replied to Noah!

"Yes, to have found the Fountain of the Golden Dream is rare, even for those who have achieved Reality."

…!

Before Noah even replied, the Living Dreams in the surroundings gazed over with interest as a few of them began to focus on this area, but the eerie thing was that when Noah heard a voice again- it wasn't coming out from just a single being as it came from multiple!

"Now the question is what Dreams could have brought you here."

BZZZT!

The words came from the mouths of 3 Living Dreams, and yet they were in complete synchrony as Noah came to a full stop.

Thereafter, the small child, old man, and woman…any nearby living Dreams looked at Noah with curiosity as they all spoke the same words simultaneously.

"So why exactly are you here, Little Emperor?"

OOOM!

Waves of destiny flowed serenely.

The busting activity over the vast stretches of the dreamy kingdom came to a halt as the countless Living Dreams within it simultaneously spoke and focused on Noah's figure alone.

Essence bloomed gloriously as Noah gazed at the figures of beings he couldn't identify since walking into this unique location, yet none of them seemed different at this time as their eyes shone with a singular golden cross that nearly blinded Noah just from gazing at it!

BZZT!

His Primogenial Soul woke up with a buzz as he wasn't affected, but if it was anyone in the Firmaments of Ascendancy who had faced the golden cross in the eyes of these countless Living Dreams…they would have perished!

Noah gazed at the countless Living Dreams staring at him as after withstanding their gazes, he actually saw a trace of appreciation within their eyes as he replied calmly.

"You are…?"

Yes. Who was the existence that Noah had felt since before even stepping into this dreamy domain?!

"Haha…who am I?" A booming voice erupted from all the beings in this vast fantastical landscape as it came from all sides of the marbled castles and dunes, from all Living Dreams currently living here!

"I am but a mere Dream of the Age of Misery…the Dream of the Fractured Wills. A Vestige that has been enjoying the sprouting fortune and destiny of this new Age as it seems outside this Dimension…many things have changed."

RUMBLE!

The voice was filled with age and wonder as it caused Noah's heart to shudder, but his soul held on strong as he gazed around him with luminous eyes.

The Dream of Fractured Wills!

An existence from the Age of Misery!

Not the Age of Destiny that was the last Age in the Olden Era, but another Age past this as such a being should be entirely terrifying that Noah would not be able to stand before them!

But its words of being a vestige allowed Noah to infer that it didn't have the power it used to have before, where it might be an existence that had long fallen from its height of power one way or another.

"You do not need to think too much when it comes to me. I have seen too much death and misery that I am only enjoying Dreams in these vast lands, with my curiosity piqued at times when new things come my way. So while I am still interested…what is a Little Emperor like you seeking here?"

The many Living Dreams continued to speak to Noah in unison as his head rose high with the light of destiny, confident in himself as he replied out!

"I come for the Golden Sand leaking out of the grand Fountain at the center of this domain…I come to the Land of Dreams to seek for the means of forging a never ending Physique Refinement Technique."

WAA!
