《My Fantasy World》Chapter 7 Hope
Advertisement
As Auther died, Damon did not leave and stood in the sky. But he was in a state of invisibility, making Auther unable to see him. He watches the dead body of the boy he uses to know. His mouth was dry, like sandpaper, eyes on the verge of tears. But he stopped. He appeared home, jumped on his bed, but it was not warm like before. It felt cold as if the winter has come, and his window was left open and his room ravage by the elements.
The death of Auther made his heart tangle. Was he right to do nothing or was his death the only way? This was the first time someone he known has died. He felt responsible. But he also knows it was the right thing to do.
''Playing God is not so fun,'' He mumbles, and slowly his eyes closed and he saw darkness. The darkness that seems to consume him the further he goes, his body felt as if not his. He slept the emotions away.
One thought that gives Damon's comfort is that Auther lives on in soul. When people and creatures die in Gaia their vitality and energy will turn into Origin, just a small amount. And the experience and emotions through one life will turn into essence, the soul.
Light pierces through Damons eyelids, he felt much better after he slept. The chill in his heart seems to have faded away.
''Auther soul will soon enter the river of reincarnation our memories together will be gone. Auther you'll still live on in my heart.'' Damon tried to cheer himself with the pet talk and slowly walk downstairs to watch Titanic.
The loss of memory has been arranged in hopes of living a better life. The pass will only drag you down.
The death of Auther had blossom Damon's inner fear. In Auther's view, Damon is a Great God who can live forever without fear of the passage of time, but only Damon can know his limits.
He is not a god, let alone immortality; he is just a lucky kid with a world-building device. The immortality Auther admired was just an illusion caused by the different flow of time.
The ability of Damon that he awed was nothing but the right to control the world with the help of Authority. It is all-powerful. But not his power simply the power of the world.
If he lost control of the world, Damon would become an ordinary person again. He was still ordinary, just another person on earth, and falling and hitting his head alone could mean lights out forever.
The death of Auther made Damon more clearly aware of this fact, and also made him regain the fear and awe of death like an ordinary mortal.

"I have the power that everyone envy, the status that everyone would die to get, and the reputation, money, and beauty that thousands will die for. But these, in the face of immortality, are just things, an object that will be gone in time. I was once perplexed and obsessed by this glitz, these material world things, but now as I have age and grey, old. I know that only eternal life is everything. I want to have eternal life-like you. Father."
These words have stuck in Damon's heart. Auther's fear and the madness in his eyes before his death made Damon firm up his determination to pursue immortality. But this feeling makes Damon feel less alone as Auther lives on in him, even if it is only the pursuit of eternal life.
Using his Authority Damon could observe his cells, and found many small particles very similar to stars inside his cells. In the beginning, he thought that these particles were mutated white blood cells? But he discovered that these particles not only acted like stem cells but can function like all kinds of cells.
Damon can use these kinds of particles to increase the number of cells, after further research. He found that not only can this particle give his cells more energy, they also do not rely on the body to be formed, but it remains unknown how it comes to be. The particle can also regulate cell growth and increase the energy output of cells.
Damon named this kind of small particle that reminded him of space as Star Dust.
"Star Dust, my ticket to endless days!" Damon yelled his voice echo back to him, with the singing of birds, and the warm wind of summer.
With the help of Star Dust, Damon can do a lot of things that normal humans would not dare to imagine. Such as enhancing eyesight, enhancing hearing and even recreating limbs is not that far fetched. Also, increase the brain ability. Not sleeping or eating for several days will not cause starvation or nausea, which goes well with his lazy character.
However, this alone cannot guarantee he can live forever. At worse a few centuries more, with luck, a thousand-year does not sound too far off.
But this is not what Damon truly wants yet it is a step in the right direction. What he wants is true immortality. So he started to read up on meditation, Taoism, visualization, and cultivation and ancient magic books in the hope to gain something useful from these subjects.
Since Star Dust is so powerful, can he use them just like in martial art, operating it in a specific way in his body?
In the next few days, Damon studied martial arts books or various novels and stories based on energy or life force the so call chi and Ki even chakra on the web, to try to find a way to control the Star Dust.

As a result, he succeeded. He succeeded in manipulating the Star Dust particles into moving in an internal rotation. Moving inside his body like a stream. How did he do this? Many points in the body are said to have energy by using the already known points he meditated on and will these Star Dusts to gather together and move in a circle from the forehead to the stomach and from the stomach to each toe, the cycle continues.
And the best result he got is that the Star Dust slowly starts to grow during this cycle, increasing in quantity.
This phenomenon is shocking. At first, he was still confused as to where this energy come from. He learns they were simple to answer as Star Dust only increased when he was in Gaia. Which mean that Star Dust is sources energy in physical form.
''Although, I don't know what effect this practice will have in the long run. But I know now it the only way to pursue my goal'' Damon thought firmly while meditating
He named this technique Three Heavens. After one month in Gaia’s Mist land, Damon has benefited from the increase in Star Dust.
His body has become physically stronger. His thinking became more agile which bring about the perfect recall. Even his appearance has begun to undergo subtle changes, making him more handsome.
Even Damon mother had a video call with him. She was curious about this new son of hers.
"Damon, I know your dad is lacking, but why did you have to get plastic surgery? Did I not raised you better than this" Her big round eyes were wide open, you could see the skin folds on her stretched back forehead.
"Mum your imagination is running wild again; I have always been handsome, and I remember John raising me." Damon bitterly said as he wonders why they even had him.
"You got my genes then, but anyway. Do not. And I repeat, do not spend money, recklessly. Your a grown man now. Better save up." She almost shouted the last part, but the raise in her voice did not go unnoticed. Yet a monkey was eating a banana, on her shoulder, which causes her voice to feel less commanded.
“Think what you want, but who told me to have such a good looking mother? My looks are all inherited from you." Damon threw out some sarcasm. His family looks were average but unlike them, he was better looking. Was he adopted?
"Hehe, my sweet boy mum will go now. Your dad and I are going digging again, I'll tell you next time. By the way, say hi to Johnson for me will yah" She say as she slaps the black fur monkey off her shoulder.
"Ook, hoo hoo ooo!"
This situation was not only his mum but even when Damon went to the market streets. The number of times heads turn in his direction is mind-blowing. Both men and women would look at him sneakily.
Fortunately for me, they are just curious, seeing someone that could be a model in public. Of course, they will take a look. However, Damon could not stand these girls.
Some would pop up to strike up a conversation while he ate,'' Let me eat in peace, Goddammit'' So he wish he had said. Few would be taking pictures whenever he passes. They used various reasons to ask for his number, from one-night stand to birthday party.
As a last resort, Damon could only reduce the number of times he went out. Later, he just didn't go outside to buy food and other things but went directly to the Gaia World to get them or order them online.
At the same time, Damon also began to focus on his research on the effects of Star Dust. To see if it had other special abilities, besides enhancing physical fitness and cell regulation.
In these experiments, Damon slowly explored a lot of special effects. According to martial-art to increase strength, they can use their energy to increase the muscle strength and density or covering it with a layer of energy.
Damon discovered by crystalizing or hardening the cells temporally. Using Star Dust will increase the defence of that body part and can also increase the attack power. This method of operating Star Dust is called the Hardening technique by Damon.
Star Dust when sending to the brain can increase energy and thinking power. Damon also discovered when releasing Star Dust outward can produce a barrier around the skin.
The ability of Star Dust was developed and learned by Damon, which made him obsessed with experiments and research.
This is simply a kind of energy that can create transcendent beings. Damon has a vision that if he understands Star Dust, he will become more powerful. Even without the world authority, he can still create a new world. But that was still far off.
However, fantasies are not a reality unless you are Damon. His understanding of Star Dust has only just begun and have not even reached the beginning of its appliances and capability.

8 108Healing Dungeon
// DUNGEON Mechanics will start to appear around chapter 100+/Arc 3 of the story! \ Avan, a 25-year-old young man, is torn from his rather boring life. He awakens in Aorus, a world full of magic, monsters and dungeons. By a stroke of luck and an ominous skill called "Potential", he awakens a new class never seen before called Dungeonheart (Human). Dungeons, although sentient, are never sapient nor mobile. Join Avan as he pursues his passion for healing and martial arts, and building his very own dungeon at the same time. He’s the hybrid of a moving dungeon and a healer. "Healing Dungeon" will include City building, strategy, very little romance, exploration of the world of Aorus, and a touch of power levelling. (There are elements from other fantasy novels, as well as anime, games, and more). What will all be possible with a dungeon that can move, but still brings some of the familiar dungeon mechanics along for its journey? -- Please note that the beginning and thus the first chapters were really my first writing works in english, and can only be rewritten at a later time (lack of time in favor for new chapters) --(The writing style and also the story improves VERY much from the 12th chapter at the latest! Proofreading is available, but I depend on any well-intentioned advice from you guys). If you have any questions, suggestions, constructive criticism, or just because you feel like it, feel free to leave me a comment below the respective chapters!For every positive and serious review or rating, I am infinitely grateful! ;) I am a creature of few words and the beginning is therefore a little faster than I would have liked it now in retrospect. Please do not expect huge paraphrases and descriptions of the environments, but only what is really necessary to get into the scene. Cheers and hopefully see you in the comment section.
