Chapter 8: Dreamer’s Peak
The wind swept across the mountain peak, carrying the crisp, ancient scent of Kalpa.
Far below, the five vast continents stretched across the horizon like sleeping beauties, their borders glowing faintly under the light of the seven blazing suns.
Before Akasha began with the activation of the Domain, he turned to her.
"Hey... just what is your role here?" he asked.
He knew she was his spirit or something like that, and it was clear she was strong as hell.
"I mean obviously you are strong as shit... and you’re my spirit or something, but?"
Luna smiled, the wind gently tugging at strands of her luminous white hair as she stood at the edge of the cliff.
The light of the seven suns caught in her eyes, making them shimmer like distant stars.
"My role here is simply to enjoy the ride," she said lightly, her voice carrying on the breeze.
Akasha arched a brow, the wind brushing against his void-black horns.
"Are you always this vague when speaking or are you just messing with me?" he asked, seeking clarification.
Luna laughed, the sound warm and melodic as it echoed across the open sky. She took a slow step closer, the air around her subtly shifting with faint ripples of divine energy.
"Hmm, maybe both?" She said with a teasing smile. Then she took another step as she spoke again.
"Well, my power is currently at the peak of universal power," she revealed casually. "Cosmic Union Rank at Tier 22."
Akasha was utterly stunned, the revelation hitting him with even more absurd news.
As he’d said, he knew she was strong—just seeing her floating in space made that clear.
And the way she moved them so effortlessly... But the peak of universal power? The situation seemed so incredibly favorable it bordered on unbelievable.
’Had I truly lived eighteen miserable years of hardship only to now be presented with the fulfillment of my every wish? Haha! Well damn... it’s not like I can refuse.’ he mused with a subtle, inward smile.
While his inner being surged with unrestrained elation, his outward demeanor remained composed and resolute, skillfully concealing the storm of emotion within.
For an instant, it seemed as though the very wind had stilled, as if the world itself paused in solemn recognition of the moment’s profound significance.
"Um come again, say what?"
Luna giggled, the sound low and intimate as she closed the remaining distance.
She leaned in slightly, close enough that he could feel the warmth radiating from her skin.
"While that may be so, my power was sealed the moment you awakened. So right now, I can only use as much as you can."
Her smile turned more seductive.
"However... there is one other way to increase my power whenever you’re ready."
She reached out and lightly brushed a finger along one of his void-black horns, her voice dropping to a husky whisper.
"All you have to do is fuck me... fuck me enough and you will have an OP Universal Level Spirit on your hands."
In that moment, both Akasha’s Vampire and Dragon traits flared instantly.
His crimson and white hair stirred in the wind as faint obsidian scales rippled across his forearms.
His ever-shifting eyes glowed brighter, galaxies swirling within them, while his elegant horns caught the sunlight like polished obsidian.
Luna pressed closer, guiding his hands with deliberate teasing.
She placed one on the slim curve of her waist and the other upward to cup her breast, then lower to firmly grasp her ass.
"Ah~" she moaned softly into his ear, her body warm and soft beneath his palms.
Akasha’s breath grew rough, control slipping as primal urges surged.
But before he could lose himself completely, Luna stepped back with a light, teasing laugh.
She took a graceful step away, the wind catching her white hair as she looked at him with playful eyes.
"Well, that’s the gist of my role here," she said, her voice still carrying that seductive lilt.
"I’m not here to hold your hand or coddle you... I’m simply here to enjoy your journey as you grow."
Despite her age and strength, she had more in common with Akasha than he knew.
Since the dawn of time, she had gone unseen and unheard by anyone else, patiently waiting outside his egg.
"However, I won’t mind helping if you ever ask properly~"
Akasha closed his eyes for a moment, regaining composure. As it wasn’t just her touch that truly got to him, but it was like her very presence was magnifying all the pressure he never got to release.
Not only that, but his new racial traits were also emerging in ways he’d never imagined.
’Just what the hell was that...?’
Back on Earth, he had been a virgin—illusion or not—thanks to being completely overlooked by humanity.
Still, he wasn’t entirely inexperienced... as he had seen the works of women from a distant far too often.
Though he hadn’t been on the small side in the illusion, it was nothing compared to the weapon he now possessed—and he was more than ready to use it.
A faint smile curved his lips as his eyes opened, now glowing a vivid shade of crimson.
"Miss Luna, please don’t tease me again... not unless you’re ready for what’s coming."
Luna’s cheeks flushed as she caught his thoughts—and the very obvious outline pressing against his clothes.
But before the moment could escalate again, Akasha cleared his throat.
"Ahem! Now... let’s begin with this Domain Activation."
----
With that he opened his status screen, and selected the Divine Domain without hesitation.
HUMMMM!!!!
The moment he did, the domain materialized.
A faint ripple of Divinity spread outward from where he sat.
Invisible at first, it soon became visible as a soft, shimmering boundary of white and purple light that settled gently over the area.
[A/N: The barrier will not be seen by anyone other than Akasha and Luna.]
However, contrary to what Akasha had imagined, it wasn’t large at all.
It didn’t even span a quarter of his mountain. In fact, it only included the modest peak and the small patch of ground directly around it.
Akasha raised an eyebrow, eyeing the surprisingly small territory.
Luna, still nestled comfortably against his side, let out a soft laugh, her warm breath brushing against his neck.
"Let me guess.... did you think it would be bigger?" she asked, amusement clear in her voice.
Akasha’s lip twitched, hearing her as it was clear she knew it would come out to be this size.
"Yeah, no shit," he replied sarcastically.
He had truly believed it would manifest as something massive — a grand territory worthy of his ambitions.
Before he could complain any further, the effects began to show themselves.
The air within the domain grew noticeably richer, thicker with latent divinity.
HUMMM!!!!!
Small motes of light began to rise from the soil, drifting lazily upward like fireflies.
Luna leaned her head against his shoulder; her gaze fixed on the gentle glow.
"See? It only begins small," she murmured softly. "You really should stop leaping to the worst conclusions before giving things a chance. Patience is a virtue, you know?"
Akasha exhaled slowly, the deep crimson of his eyes reflecting the shimmer around them.
A faint, knowing smile tugged at his lips as the first true step into his new life took shape.
And in this moment, a translucent window materialized before him, glowing with soft white and purple light.
