Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

[Arkhen Ashenight]

Seeing the surname written on the projection, the girls were surprised.

"I like it. Ashenight sounds cool."

Meya chuckled as she continued, "From now on, I am Meya Ashenight."

The girls smiled as Arkhen finally got a surname meant all of them also got Ashenight as their last name.

"Then our organization will be Ashenight. Let's make it as a clan. Ashenight Clan," Sierra said with a smile.

"Yes."

"Yep, let's go with that."

The girls continued flying in the direction of the blue arrow while talking.

After half an hour, they finally arrived at a vast populated place!

"T-This is so big…." Sasha muttered. "It's even bigger than Frezya Empire's capital town."

They were still far away, but they could see the vastness of the town from afar while floating high in the sky.

[ Ladies, I just collected some information. That city doesn't belong to a sole power. Many forces are situated there and rule it. The most troublesome thing is that the peak level of power there are of 4th realm powerhouses]

"What?!"

Sierra's expression turned somber. "It will be hard for us with such powerhouses in the city. My path of stars is also pointing in that city."

"Mine too," Shasa said with a nod.

The girls knew they were beauties, and men lusting after beauties was nothing new. Against powerhouses with high realm strengths, they would be powerless!

"I guess we will have to put a hold on making our clan for now."

Luna said as she adopted a thoughtful expression before continuing, "We should join an organization that can protect us."

[Indeed. That's the only way to stay safe and progress in this lawless city.]

"Velshi, can you find a suitable organization for us?" Sasha asked as she looked at Velshi.

"Or… wait," Zoe said as she narrowed her eyes. "This might sound ridiculous, but how about we work in shadows? We all got that gift box with a realm artifact, right?"

"Yes."

Luna, Sierra, and Evelyn nodded.

"The realm artifact I got is called Shadow Tree. I can plant a total of three shadows tree. Each shadow tree grows five shadow fruits if we pour our soul energy into it every day for ten days," Zoe said as she took out her Realm Artefact.

A palm-sized shadow tree with mysterious silver sparks on its black leaves and trunk!

"What does the shadow fruit do?"

"Eating a Shadow Fruit gives one an innate talent called Shadow Drift. We can travel through shadows. But the downside is that if someone attacks the shadow we are drifting into, we will suffer more damage than usual."

"But if we can use this talent carefully…." Sasha said with a glint in her eyes. "We have to plan better. Let's not hurry into entering the city and stay a bit far in some outskirts of this area."

"We have to use our realm artifacts before breaking through to the 2nd realm power level," Sierra said with a sharp expression. "Let's prepare outside and strengthen ourselves. Once the rest of you reaches 10th class, and we all acquire the Shadow Drifting talent, we will enter the city."

…

Time passed as minutes turned into hours and hours into days…

Five kilometers away from the grand city, there was a big forest, and the girls lived inside a mountain at the edge of that forest.

They had dug inside the mountain to create ample space for them to live. A river also flowed outside that mountain, and near their cave's entrance, Zoe planted the Shadow Trees.

They'd been living here for fifteen days, and by now, everyone had acquired Shadow Drift innate talent and reached the 10th-class stage.

"It's time to leave," Sierra said as she looked at the girls.

"We planned our objectives. First, we will use mine, Luna's, and Evelyn's realm artifacts to secure a foothold for us. Luna has a manipulation-type artifact, so we will use it to control a leader of a small organization first."

"Second, we will live in shadows in that small organization and infiltrate other small organizations to weave our foundation in the city."

"The main goal is to complete our path of star requirement in that city. All of you also have that city as your next destination, so that city is definitely special."

Everyone nodded.

[Before you go, enter today's Dream Fragment and purify it.]

"Alright."

Everyone disappeared before they appeared in Mystic Wonderland.

After entering the Dream Fragment, they only took a partial hour before purifying it. Since everyone had reached 10th class, they didn't need to overkill the dream beasts inside, so they just finished the main task of purifying it and came out.

"Before we go, let's change our get-up," Evelyn said with a smile. "Velshi, give us different types of suitable dresses and cool outfits, but all of them must be black with dark gold designs."

"Nice. I like that idea," Meya said as she grinned in excitement. 'Brother Arkhen, we will quickly get strong and save you!'

…

'When are those five idiots coming back?' Arkhen thought in frustration. Those girls were purifying Dream Fragment every day and killed many beasts in the past fifteen days, so he had gotten 15k Reality Essence and 46k reality motes.

Of course, he was also using reality motes to help them, like creating that blue arrow that led them towards the city and Velshi collecting information for them.

But most importantly, he wanted Nirvana to awaken his hot stepmom, Isabella.

Alas, he also wanted to join in her 1st trial, not as a mere spectator, but as a participant.

'I can peacefully start her trial and join after they visit me and start another session of torture.'

Arkhen sighed.

[Oh, they are here.]

Velshi said as the door to the hall opened, and those five hooded figures arrived with scrutinizing gazes looking at Arkhen.

"Broken yet, you bastard?"

Arkhen opened his eyes before a terrifying grin crept up on his face, "Try something better next time."

…

"Arrrrghhhhh!!"

'FUCK, FUCK! What did they do?'

[My lord. They used the power of Intent and empowered the pain felt by you. This is outside of the pain receptor realm. Even if I turn off your brain's pain receptor, you will still feel the current pain]
