Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Something about it called for him to get closer, to touch it, perhaps even submerged into it. The feeling was intense at first but grew and grew in his head as he left the place.

\'Is this some kind of effect that thing is having on me? I have always been connected to dimensions. But, it\'s still really odd.\' Talon frowned as he clenched his fists.

So far, Talon\'s power and path have been so deeply related to dimensions that he can\'t deny that fact anymore. He didn\'t know why that was the case, but, it was true and he had to accept it.

\'It definitely has something to do with the Core Dimension and the way it treated me so far.\'

Exhaling a tired breath, Talon looked up. The sky was dark as always. Even though the sun does appear early in the morning and a few minutes before it sets on the horizon in the evening, most of the day is just dark and gloomy. All because of the floating gate.

Naturally, that affected the entire world with how lacking the sunlight was. Most of the plants that relied on sunlight to grow either withered or evolved to adapt to the new environment. The same is true for all animals, even after the first expansion, some species defied the odds, survived the disaster, and even evolved into very strong creatures.

As for the monsters that already thrived in the darkness, they had a far easier time evolving which made the night the most dangerous time to be out in the world. Anything could attack you and kill you before you realize it.

With that, the two quickly arrived at the camp where everyone was. The first to notice their arrival was Sophie who was heading toward their direction. She seemed extremely worried and in a hurry.

"Talon!" Seeing her beloved, her face lit up as her worries washed away. She approached him quickly and jumped into his embrace.

"What happened? Are you fine? Did you get injure- Oh, no, you\'re bleeding!" Quickly, she started checking his body with a terrified look on her face. Her hands ran across his skin without hesitation which made Hyun-Jae frown hard.

"Where do you think you\'re touching?" She asked coldly, making Sophie look up.

"I\'m checking him up."

"He\'s fine."

"No, he-"

"That injury is nothing. If you look closely, it already started healing." Hyun-Jae pointed out with a tired look on her face.

She didn\'t know if Sophie simply took that opportunity to touch Talon or if she genuinely didn\'t know that his healing speed was ridiculously high. An injury like that would take less than a day to heal if he chugs down a healing potion.

"Oh… Is that true, Talon?"

"Yeah, I\'m fine as you can see. I\'ve had way worse injuries before." He shrugged.

"More dangerous than this?! Oh my god, were you going to die?!"

"Yes." Talon and Hyun-Jae replied at the same time with a deadpan expression. "Multiple times."

"What?!"

"I got my body carved out, I almost drowned in the stomach of a Kraken."

"You were also almost killed by that woman, right?"

"Yeah, that one too. There is also that monster stampede battle. That was hard." Talon recounted casually as if he was remembering a normal event.

But, for Sophie, her eyes kept wandering between Talon and Hyun-Jae not understanding what was going on.

"Stop, stop!! My brain is about to explode!" In the end, she couldn\'t handle it so she stopped them. "What the hell did you go through, Talon?"

"Uuuh, how should I explain this? The last few weeks have been… Very wild, to say the least." He replied with an awkward laugh.

"It has been an insane few weeks. But… They were a lot of fun." Hyun-Jae smiled as she turned to Talon.

Her rare yet mesmerizing smile made him blink for a second before he smiled back at her. For a moment, the two\'s eyes kept staring at each other as if they entered their own world. Meanwhile, Sophie was watching with a dark expression.

\'What is that mushy atmosphere between them?! Oh no! This is bad! Really bad! I underestimated this girl. Even though she didn\'t know my Talon for a long time, she is already rivaling me now!\'

All kinds of red alerts went off in her head when she saw the aura around the two. They seemed like they got way closer than before.

\'What happened? They were not like this earlier today.\' She thought to herself as she quickly approached Talon and grabbed his hand. \'I need to do something now.\'

"Hey, hubby~ you still need to get your injuries treated, right? Follow me."

"Hmm? Oh right, I need to to wash myself too."

"Yes, do you want me to wash your back?~" Sophie winked playfully.

"No."

"Oooh, boring~ Did you forget how we used to take showers together?"

"That was when we were literally toddlers!" Talon blinked. "We\'re full-fledged adults now!"

"Pfft, who cares about age? If we\'re both fine with it~" Sophie chuckled.

"No way in hell."

The two bantered back and forth jokingly as Sophie guided Talon to the camp with her hand locked into his.

Hyun-Jae glared silently at Sophie as she walked behind them. The latter gave her a secret glance before pulling her tongue out playfully. \'Sorry, dear~ Even if you work hard, I\'m always one step ahead.\'

Hyun-Jae was somehow able to read that sign and she clenched her teeth secretly. \'Don\'t try me.\'

\'Hmm, but I will~ You\'re trying to take something that isn\'t yours.\'

It was an odd situation where both parties could somehow read what the other person was thinking of. The more they looked at each other the, colder their auras grew. It was so tense that Talon felt the palpable change in temperature around him.

"What are you two doing?" He asked.

"Hmm, nothing."

Even though he knew it wasn\'t the case, he didn\'t comment any further. So far, Hyun-Jae and Sophie\'s relationship wasn\'t that good and he knew the reason why. Both clearly had some kind of love rivalry going on.

\'Should I just address it? No, what can I even say? \'Don\'t fight for me, both of you?\' I would sound like an arrogant piece of shit. Tsk, well, it doesn\'t seem like it\'s going beyond a few glares. But, if it gets out of hand, I will have to do something.\' He sighed.

At the current moment, they were about to get into a brutal fight, there wasn\'t any time to fool around. He knew Hyun-Jae and Sophie would prioritize their mission over something like this.

With that, Talon spent the rest of the day at the camp resting and getting ready. The rest of the group explored the area a little bit more before they went back to the camp. By the time the sun set, everyone got in the vehicles again and the group started moving out of the city.

Looking back through the window, Hyun-Jae felt a myriad of emotions. This place that always brought her pain and suffering. The place that brought her trauma that chased her for years somehow carried positive feelings now.

She still didn\'t fully heal from what happened and perhaps she would never heal from it. But, what Talon told her still resonated in her head all the time. Those words were the reason she didn\'t feel a suffocating fear looking at the city behind her.

\'Maybe it\'s time for a change.\' She thought to herself as she turned around with a small smile on her face. \'I will do it. No matter what, I will overcome this… For him.\' Her eyes wandered to the young man next to her.

She didn\'t have to do it for her own sake. As long as she had him supporting her, she was ready to face the entire world let alone the past.

With that, the cars stormed through the night, vanishing from sight in a few seconds.

***

Meanwhile, far away from there. The location is the human society in Gwangju.

A man walked hurriedly through the corridors of a massive building. His face was nervous and he was sweating profusely.

Reaching a door at the end of the corridor where two armed guards stood menacingly on both sides, he stopped at their sign. Their cold eyes, hidden behind their black glasses unspected him silently, making the man frown.

"Is this really necessary? It\'s me for fuck sake!" The man yelled.

"We apologize, Mr. Evan. It\'s standard procedure." One of the guards replied as he approached Evan and signaled for him to lift his arms up. Then, he inspected his body from head to toe before he nodded his head.

"He\'s good."

"He\'s waiting for you."

"He better be. I\'m here to get some answers!" He declared angrily as he pushed the doors open and entered inside.
