While Jake moved from one Ruin to another, he made sure to watch out for Sophia.

he made sure to not encounter her, as she is crazy (his own imagination) and it is best to stay away from her.

and at the end of this long exploring week he arrived back at campsite of his team and saw everyone's back.

'Phew, it seem none of them got eliminated' Jake thought and went near them.

As Jake approached the campsite, he felt a sense of relief wash over him at the sight of his teammates gathered together. He silently observed them from a distance, noticing their tired yet happy expressions as they discussed their own experiences from the past week.

Jake observed all of them and saw, few teams have sad expressions.

Tap Tap

Students turned their heads a him hearing the footsteps and some have happy expressions while some formed expression of relief.

"welcome back Captain" One of them said and then everyone sat together and shared their own adventure.

"Captain, you won't believe what happened to us" Jess said and Jake asked what happened.

"We saw a almost naked beauty" Jess said in exaggeration earning looks from their female members.

'I already know whom they are talking about' Jake thought and then said " are you sure you weren't hallucinating?"

[By the way he said 'Almost' but you saw completely naked right] Nexus tried to tease him but he didn't give him any chance.

"No, we weren't" Jess and others in his team shook their heads and the only female member of his team said.

"she was that Succubus Sophia" Cilia a skilled Archer said fiercely.

"Isn't Sophia a Nymph?" Jake blurted instinctively hearing her..

"Huh? Captain you met her too?" Jess asked.

"I did, we raided a Ruin and I snatched the item from there before she could" Jake said.

"As expected of captain" Jess and others exclaimed.

"we Tried to take item from her to but she almost killed us" Cilia said as she looked at Jake with shinning eyes.

Jake laughed and said " well, she fought with me too but then i..."

"hahahaha"

"What a way to fool her!!!!"

Jake recounted what happened and everyone burst out laughing.

"Pfft~~, it is her black history now" Cilia laughed and said with so much happiness, Jake thought she has some personal vendetta against Sophia.

Jake shook his head and asked another team leader " What about your team Nina?"

"hmm, we got 5 bronze and two silver Ruin items" Nina said in monotonous voice as Jake asked her.

"I meant if anything fun happened?" Jake said.

Nina shook her head and said " nothing that of sort"

Jake looked at her team mates and then a guy said " We were almost drowned though"

"you guys sure were unlucky" Jake mumbled and asked about everyone.

The conversation continued as Jake listened intently to each member of his team recounting their adventures and challenges faced during the week of Ruin raids.

As Jake was listening to their stories, A group of students reached him and said " Captain we created the list of items"

"We got 17 Ranged attack items"

"9 Magic spell items"

"And rest are melee items" Jake took the list and nodded.

"Distribute them according to ones weapon style" Jake said and then everyone's nodded went to work.

"We will rest today and preserve our strength" Jake said and then everyone went to sleep early.

***

Jake wakes up in middle of night and coming out of wooden hut, he laid on soft leaves and gazed at Stars.

[Can't sleep]

"I just had a weird dream"

[what was it about?]

"It might be long one"

[Just say it, this is your first dream right?, after coming to this world]

"...Yes, I never thought about it but yes, this was my first dream" Jake said remembering he never had any dream before, after arriving in this world.

[It means, a new power will soon manifest]

Jake closed his eyes hearing this and went ti his soul sea.

Arriving here he looked at the cube which is over 90% shining with bright purple light.

"I wonder what will be this time?" Jake mumbled, usually the cube shimmers in myriad light but one time it start shining in single light, and it was like it's slowly charging up and when it was full of that single color Jake received a power.

It was basically a skill which enabled him to form weapons of his core energies.

"lat power was not that useful, I hope this time it is something better" Jake said and then exited.

[You still didn't tell me about your dream]

Jake nodded and started....

"In my dream, I found myself standing in a vast, desolate landscape. The sky above was a swirling mass of dark clouds, and the air crackled with an eerie energy. I felt a sense of fear wash over me as I surveyed my surroundings, unsure of what awaited me in this strange realm of white earth and dark sky".

"With nothing more to do, I began to explore, I stumbled upon a towering fortress shrouded in shadows. Its imposing walls loomed ominously overhead, and I could sense a palpable sense of danger emanating from within.

Still, as this was the only thing in this black and white realm , I approached the fortress cautiously, my heart pounding with each step, the fear I felt earlier intensifying with each step, yet strangely I found myself going towards it. As I reached the massive gates, they swung open with a deafening creak, revealing a dimly lit interior cloaked in darkness.

there was even a red carpet which didn't fit well with the white and black background, yet it seemed to say, it's welcoming....Me"

"unsure of what to do, i thought of not entering but my body did the opposite, I ventured inside, the sound of my footsteps echoing off the cold, stone walls. Strange whispers seemed to follow me, echoing in the chambers of the fortress like ghostly whispers from another world...."

In Jake soul sea, a small indistinguishable figure was sitting on the cube as Jake spoke of his dream a smile formed on this figure face and a voice echoed [It's starting]
