Child of Destiny

...…

Shin went to his dimension, which was the Reaper's Realm that he had 'gotten' after defeating Vladimir and forming the contract with that elemental spirit.

This place had completely transformed into an independent world as it was now filled with 'life' compared to the first time he had arrived here.

The dimension was still divided into different regions, which signified the respective territories of his Elemental Spirits. These places were also their rebirthing place, which was now connected to the physical realm of the Atlas World through Shin.

As Shin became stronger, his connection with his Elemental Spirits also grew, which also indirectly affected his connection with this realm.

At this moment, he no longer had to 'bring' all his Elemental Spirits around in the form of specks of lights revolving around him while traveling in the Atlas World as their connection became strong enough to traverse dimensions.

Of course, there were also some limitations. Such effect could only be possible when the Elemental Spirits were in this realm, which was now one of his territories.

This was also only possible because of the dimension token that Berlin, the Saint Draven Blacksmith had forged for him. It was not only the key to enter this place 'freely', but also another form of bridge that connected Shin and this realm.

Shin swept his gaze at his surroundings and could not help but feel a little strange. This realm was slowly becoming a true world instead of a small fragment of the plane that it previously belonged to.

The realm itself was an independent dimension, which was associated with the spatial and void element, so Hanzo did not need to build his 'house' to make it his rebirthing place.

The 'sun' in the sky was where Solus resided, which also became a real 'sun' compared to the last time he had previously visited. It was illuminating the whole world with his brilliance.

There was also the majestic castle, which was where Vladimir lived. It was his palace during the time of prosperity of his kingdom before it fell and became cursed. This castle was shrouded in a bloody mist, which represented the element of Vladimir.

Among his contracted Elemental Spirits, Grimrace was the only one who did not need a rebirthing place as he was originally an abomination. He relied on Shin's natural energy, which was coming from the contract that they had.

But despite all of that, he still liked to 'hang out' in Vladimir's Blood Palace just for fun. Even if these two hated each other always fighting, there was still some 'bond' that was formed between them.

They could still be considered as 'best of friends' aside from being companions under their contract with Shin.

In the distance, there was a glowing mountain that seemed to be connected to the sky. It was releasing a pillar of light from its peak, piercing through the sky. Beneath this mountain was a land filled with darkness as it was a shadow blanket hiding the entire region.

This mysterious place was where Blackie and Whitie resided. The mountain was Whitie's home, while the dark region was Blackie's forest.

On the other side of the Blood Palace was a barren land filled with dried land and stone forest. At a glance, this place seemed to be a dead land due to the lack of vegetation around it. But upon closer inspection, one could see the dense elemental mana filling the air, which represented the elements of earth and metal.

Similar to the glowing mountain, there was also a unique mountain in this region. It was a mountain filled with sharp metallic pillars and tall stone formations. It was the place where Astaroth lived, which was also where he trained.

Additionally, aside from this region that he was already familiar with, there was an additional region that represented the new elemental spirit that he acquired not too long ago. It was a region filled with a vast forest, rivaling the expanse of the other region.

At the center of this forest was a tall altar, which was where the little dragon girl first hatched. This entire forest was Silvana's home, which was also her playground.

Shin did not dare to bring this little dragon girl into the Atlas World yet even though she was strong enough to hold herself even in the Awakened Continent. After all, she was from the Elemental Dragon Race, which was gifted when it came to understanding magic and natural law.

On top of that, she was trained under Solus and Hanzo, these two veterans. She couldn't be underestimated even if she looked like a little toddler, who was supposed to just learn how to walk. ṙἈＮồBĘⱾ

Moreover, given the vast experience and knowledge that these two ancient beings had, it was not hard for them to awaken the inheritance of her race through her bloodline.

The real reason why he did not dare to bring out this little dragon girl outside was-…

"Dad!"

Swoosh!

A figure suddenly flew at Shin, coming from a random corner of the vast forest, and arrived before Shin in an instant.

Bang!

"Argh!"

Silvana banged her head on Shin's stomach, making him groan in plain, before clinging to him with her little arms and legs.

"Dad, you are such a meanie! How can you leave me here and not bring me? You even let Big Sister Solus and Uncle Hanzo regularly come outside. Even Big Sister Blackie and Big Brother Whitie also come out to play around."

"Even that blockhead, Uncle Astaroth can come outside. You only leave me here to place with those two ugly and mean uncles in the castle."

This little dragon girl quickly bombarded Shin with a lot of complaints that could make his ears bleed.

He liked that Silvana was growing quite quickly and steadily, but there were still some areas that needed to be fixed. If she indeed came outside and started calling him 'Dad', especially in front of Cloe and the others, he did not know how he would deal with the situation.

Aside from being smart and clever, this little dragon girl was quite mischievous as well. He did not dare to think about the consequences once she was let loose in the Atlas World.

'It will be best if she is as good and behaves as Laura,' thought Shin as he recalled how this little sister of Leonard, was somewhat mature compared to the rest of the kids her age.

With a sigh, Shin gently patted Silvana's head as he patiently said. "Don't worry. I will be bringing you out soon."

Silvana pouted as she did not believe his words unconditionally. "Dad says it all the time, but never fulfilled his promise."

Shin signed helplessly before suddenly adding. "Don't worry. I will also bring a new playmate for you. He should be 'around' your 'age', so I am sure that you will get along well."

Silvana looked at Shin with full suspicion before asking. "Really?"

She liked to play with the Big Sisters, Big Brothers, and Uncles in this realm and she was not as bored as it seemed to be. But having a playmate around her age should be interesting as well.

"You promise this time, right?" she asked.

Shin smiled as he patted her head. "I promise."

He then let her go and pointed to the other regions. "Go play for now. Let me and Big Sister Solus and Uncle Hanzo prepare a home for your new friend."

"Alright!" said Silvana before letting go of Shin and running to the forest to look for something to do.

Shin watched her back for a moment before suddenly recalling something. He then shook his head as he prayed with full seriousness. "I just hope that they get along well and not end up like Laura and Christian when they first met."

Christian was Cloe's little brother, who was around Laura's age and currently staying with their mother's side of the family.

Not long after, Solus and Hanzo appeared beside Shin while looking at Silvana's little figure.

Shin glanced at them before saying. "I think we should look for some creature to inhabit this place for a better and healthier ecosystem."

He had already thought about this after seeing that this realm was evolving into a real independent world, but never got the chance to due to a lot of things that kept on happening to him.

Solus, as a god in her 'previous' life, agreed with this suggestion completely. Maintaining the balance of nature was always necessary, so letting some creatures live in this realm was also a necessity at some point.

Hanzo, as an Ancient Elemental Spirit, also nodded his head. "A Rebirthing Place of an Elemental was not necessarily something meant only for the Elemental Spirits themselves. Other creatures are also required to make those places grow naturally through the ecosystem that they built."

"I guess I have to look for a time to capture some creatures and transport them here," nodded Shin before going back to the real purpose why he was hear. "Have you prepared the place?"

They had been preparing for the arrival of the new elemental spirit that Shin would be contracting since the time Shin had gotten the quest to free the 'reincarnated' Hydros.

These two veterans had already been preparing the region where the new elemental spirit would be living.

Not long after Shin and the two arrived at the edge of the realm, which looked like a dimension filled with nothing but darkness and void.

As Shin and the Elemental Spirits under him grew stronger, their territory also grew and expanded, which meant that this independent dimension was also constantly evolving alongside them while it was approaching the level of a true world.

This region was also a part of the dimension, which was formed after everyone's growth.

"Have you already prepared everything?" asked Shin.

"I have already sealed all the boundaries of this dimension, which can expand alongside the dimension itself," replied Hanzo lazily.

He paused for a moment before continuing. "The case for this newcomer is a little different from the rest. But we can combine the method that we have used for little Silvana's territory and how we have transferred Astaroth's reverting place to this dimension."

"This will not be a problem if we can transfer the entire underwater temple altogether, but it is currently impossible for your current level and authority."

"So, our only choice right now is to build a similar altar that we have used to hatch that dragon egg while changing the materials needed. This shouldn't be that complicated but will still cost you quite a fortune," he added while turning to Shin.

Shin thought for a moment before sighing. Even if he was quite wealthy in the game, he still knew that he had to spend quite a lot of money whenever something like this happened. Moreover, they were always quite costly every time he had such 'projects.'

Shin nodded his head helplessly. "Give me the needed materials, and I will deal with it. You two can just focus on nurturing this region into something perfect for our new friend later."

Given his connections in the Awakened Continent, Shin was confident that he could buy even some of the rarest materials that could be found in the continent, especially with his identity as the Envoy of the Church of the Sun and Moon.

He could also use the channel that the Hand of Midas currently had, which was constantly growing as time went by.

The only problem was whether he was willing to pay enough for every transaction, which would surely cost him a huge fortune each time.
