Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

"You two… Was I out for too long?" He asked confusedly as he rubbed his temples.

However, surprisingly, he didn't get a quick answer as he expected. Instead, the two kept staring at him silently.

"Hm? What's wr-"

Before he could even ask a second time, he felt two soft things touch his face as he was thrown back. His eyes opened wide for a moment as he felt the comfortable sensation of his face being squeezed tightly.

Hyun-Jae wrapped her arms around Talon's head as she hugged him with all her force. Her body was still shaking and her heart was still beating so loudly as if it wanted to exit her body. Nothing compared to the happiness she felt at that moment. Not even all of her achievements across her entire life combined can be compared to it.

'He's alive… He's alive… He woke up!' Her mind frantically tried to calm down but completely failed at doing so. Instead, her tears continued going down endlessly. She cried silently as she hugged Talon. Her feelings came out like a broken dam with no limit. It didn't matter to her that she was even doing something she would be embarrassed to do.

Every cell in her body wanted to hug the young man in front of her at that moment and never let go.

The latter didn't react at first but then slowly rose up as he gently caressed her back to reassure her.

'From her reaction… I guess I wasn't out of it, after all.' He thought to himself.

"Your heart stopped for a while," Acrypha said as she floated around Talon. Her expression was rather stoic. "You were very close to death."

"Oh…" Talon raised an eyebrow. But, other than that, he didn't react strongly to her words. "Is that so?"

"She tried to resuscitate you but it didn't work at first…" She added.

Talon: "..."

The young man listened quietly as Acrypha told him everything that happened when he was not conscious. However, even then, he didn't show much of a reaction and continued gently rubbing Hyun-Jae's back to calm her down.

Eventually, the girl calmed down considerably as she pulled herself a little away from Talon. Her eyes were very red from crying and she still looked like a mess. She had multiple injuries on her body but she didn't really care much about them.

Talon stared at her eyes from up close for a moment before he closed it. "I'm sorry…" He said in a low tone.

Hyun-Jae didn't reply to his words at first as she sighed and gently rested her forehead against his. "I have a strong urge to punch you in the face right now. But… My urge to just hug you is stronger."

Talon blinked in confusion before he smiled wryly. "Thanks for saving my life… again."

Still with her forehead against his, Hyun-Jae shook her head. "We're a team, aren't we?" Lifting her fist.

"Haha, yeah, we're a team and we will always be a team." Then, he fist-bumped her lightly.

After that, Hyun-Jae helped Talon stand up slowly.

"Be careful, don't move too quickly." She said with a worried look on her face as she wrapped her arms around his shoulder.

"You really don't have to do this. I'm fairly fi- Ouch!" Feeling her hand touch one of his numerous injuries, he squinted.

"Yeah, say that when you don't look like a block of Swiss cheese." She replied.

"Ok, ok…" Talon rolled his eyes.

"It's good… to see you back…" Chin-Hwa, who was eerily silent the entire time, spoke as he faced Talon. His eyes flashed with a complicated glint.

"... Good to see you too," Talon replied mysteriously as he squinted his eyes.

'Hmm, it's really weird to see him act nice toward me. I feel more comfortable if he just gives me the usual glare.' He thought to himself.

With that, the boat finally turned around and moved back to the shores. Talon sat down on a chair to rest while Hyun-Jae sat awfully close to him as she stared at him silently. The latter was munching on a small snack to recover some energy, but, with the two eyes poring at his face, he could only stop.

"Uuuh, Hyun-Jae? Why are you looking at me?"

"Don't mind me." She replied quickly.

"Even if you say so…"

'I guess she's still in shock from what happened. I couldn't actually believe that I was dead for over two minutes.' Touching his chest, Talon closed his eyes for a second as he recalled what he was going through during those two minutes.

***

*A few minutes ago*

Inside Talon's head, the world he was floating in continued dragging him closer and closer as it numbed his sensation. He didn't know what time it was or how long he had been out of it and he frankly didn't care.

All he was thinking of at that moment were useless questions and borderline philosophical inquiries.

That continued for a while, till out of nowhere, everything suddenly shifted again. The white world vanished and the scenery turned into something different. Looking around him widely, Talon found himself inside a rather familiar room.

The beautiful scent of rose filled his nose and he could sense a comfortable mattress on his back.

"I'm back here?" He murmured as he looked around him curiously. The room looked exactly the same as he left it last time. Even after weeks, it looked as if only a few hours passed there.

Rubbing the back of his head, Talon slowly stood on his feet. "Ok, I don't know why I was brought here again. But, I want to try and meet someone first."

Last time, Talon pretended he was asleep to hide himself from whoever entered his room. At the time, he was wary of this place. But, now, he wanted to see what was this place all about. read-this-on-NovelFire

"If I can gather information about it. Acrypha might know what it is."

The moment he uttered those words, the door suddenly knocked.

"Young master? I'm back. Can I enter?"

Hearing the same familiar respectful voice, Talon thought for a moment before he coughed.

"Ehem, you can… You may enter."

'You may enter, my ass. I sound like a fantasy character.' He scrunched his face unpleasantly.

The door then slowly opened as a man walked inside. He was rather tall, with a lean yet muscular build and very old facial features. He carried himself very respectfully with his hands behind his back in a straight posture.

"Oh, you are already awake? Perfect! Good morning, or perhaps, good evening, Young Master." He said in a calm tone as he bowed.

"Uh, good evening to you too, I guess," Talon replied with whatever conspicuous responses he could come up with.

"I'm really glad you're awake. Your father and mother have been really worried after… what happened. But, I can definitely see that your spirit is back. I'm truly glad to see that."

Talon: "..."

'Yeah, he definitely talks too much. I can't keep up with him so I'm going to remain silent.'

"Well, in any case, since you are awake now, it's time to get your rather late morning routine started." Saying that the man clapped his hands.

Then, almost the next moment, a big group of maids rushed inside the room. With a rough calculation, Talon counted 15 of them and it took him by surprise.

The maids stopped in front of the butler in an organized order as if they had already trained for such maneuvers before.

"Take care of him, please."

"Yes, sir!" The maids replied before they approached the flabbergasted young man. "Please, from here, Young Master."

"Huh? Oh, ok…" Talon replied in a daze as he was led outside the room surrounded by the maids. With a closer look at them, they were all extremely gorgeous women who would've been considered world-class models back in his world.

'Why is everyone in this place so aesthetically pleasing?' He wondered to himself. But, he would be lying if he said that he hated the feeling of being surrounded by so many beauties.

No man would've hated that and Talon was certainly not an exception to that rule.

The young man was then led to a room that was next to his. Since he only had a few seconds to look around him, he took in all the details he could of the giant corridor.

It was all carved out of high-quality shiny marble with a red carpet that ran across the entire hallway. Beautiful paintings and expensive-looking statues were organized on both sides of the corridor in a beautiful manner.

It looked exactly like a castle from the ancient times. Then, Talon's eyes fell on the windows that were clearly open, casting a beautiful yellow light of what he assumed to be the sun. However, it didn't take him long to realize something.

'Wait… That angle… It doesn't make any sense. The butler said that it's the evening… Then why does it look like it's still morning?' He asked himself with a raised eyebrow.

He couldn't figure out what was off with the sunrays and he didn't have time to contemplate it either as he found himself inside another room… A gigantic bathroom to be exact.

"Get his clothes off. Please, excuse us, Young Master."

"Huh? Hold on a second!"
