《The Aether Universe》Chapter 51
Advertisement
Tai first picked up the mysterious-looking green orb and used his analyze skill on it.
Orb of Earthly Aether
An orb filled with Earthly Aether that can be used to manipulate the earth
Can also be sold to Aether Cities for AC
"Oh, so it's like a magical weapon." Tai placed the orb into his storage to sell later as he wasn't really planning on controlling the earth. Maybe if it gave him the skill to control earth he would use it to get some extra levels, but as it is right now, it was a bit useless.
Grabbing the fruit in the chest, Tai analyzed it.
Fruit of Death
A highly poisonous fruit that has been contaminated with Nether. This fruit is very dangerous and kills anything that touches it. If somehow purified, it will turn into a Fruit of Life
Can also be sold to Aether Cities for AC
True to the fruit's description, Tai's hand that was touching the fruit turned pitch-black and started eroding as his hand turned into black dust.
"Master?!" Nagi generated a pair of black tentacles and grabbed the fruit, putting it back into the chest. "Master, what do we do? It's spreading."
Tai watched as the poison started spreading and infecting the bottom half of his arm. "No worries. Can't spread if it's not attached to anything."
Truth be told, Tai wasn't sure if this would work, but it was better than just letting it sit there and kill him. He grabbed Nagi and with a firm swing, cut off his arm.
Thankfully, his plan worked and the poison didn't spread, making Tai let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't feel any pain since he had his Pain Immunity on at that moment, but looking at the pile of black dust that used to be his arm on the floor, he was sure that it wouldn't have felt great.

"Master, are you ok? Is there anything wrong?"
Tai nodded. "Don't worry about it, Nagi. Everything feels fine and even my arm is already regrowing, see?"
Tai held up his arm that he had severed and showed Nagi that it was regrowing. "Now, let's put this in the storage carefully."
Tai coated his hands with darkness, creating a type of protective gloves that let him handle the deadly fruit as he placed it into his storage.
With those two out of the way, Tai held the last item in his hand.
Planetary Beans
When planted, these beans will sprout out of the planet's atmosphere and into space. At the very top of the beanstalk is a fruit that is rumored to grant eternal life
Can also be sold to Aether Cities for AC
Damn, they're kinda useless, but whatever.
Just like with the rest of the items, Tai stashed the beans into his storage and continued on with his journey, talking with Nagi to pass the time while he was looking for the next portal.
Weeks passed in the dungeon, and by the time he knew it, Tai had spent a total of 3 months in the dungeon and he had 3 more months to go until the global protection went away.
During the past 3 months, Tai wasn't just idling by and enjoying his time. He was training and had reached the 60th level of the dungeon as well as crossing the level 500 threshold as his current level was now 553.
Tai wasn't the only one that changed as Nagi's weapon form had changed too. Influenced by Tai's draconic energy, a thick layer of draconic energy covered Nagi in its weapon form that was not only tougher but also stronger than before. While not exactly a unique feat in the world of the supernatural, Nagi was confident that it was sharp enough to cut a decent-sized mountain.

Becoming a dragon also affected Tai's personality a bit. First, he gained a lot of pride and didn't like anyone looking down on him. He also started looking down on lesser creatures, only recognizing them if they were strong enough. While his personality might've been affected, in the end, he was still in control, so the impact to his personality was only a small inconvenience at best, but it did seem very dragon-like.
In the outside world, outside of the dungeon, small, and big businesses alike started popping up. Along with the Adventurer's Guild that was created by the system, other guilds started appearing that were made by the people.
The Medical Guild, made by a group of aliens that were similar to slime, and called themselves, The Ondae. The Craftsmen Guild, made by a group of aliens that called themselves dwarves.
There were also other government bodies that claimed their own territory in the new world that they were in. The United Earth Empire, or the UEE for short is the military and government that comprised of only humans. The Xad's Republic, which is an alien government that the UEE recognizes as a threat as their technology is superior when compared to humans. There are other governments with their own military, and so far, there haven't been any conflicts, but as time passes that might soon change in the future.
The current Top 1 on the global leaderboard is a humanoid alien that is part of The Xad's Republic, calling himself 'The Godking'. Like Tai, he hasn't just been relaxing and has been leveling up, crossing over the 1000 level mark. Other than his level, not much is known about him besides his level, gender, and species.
Rumors have said, though, that he has been blessed by one of the 7 Deadly Sins. Specifically, the Deadly Sin, Wrath.
