Chapter 2 I Really Don't Want to Destroy the World

However, as time passed, he realized that his consciousness seemed to be gradually strengthening

This is, after all, a society where two lords can fight over a wild boar; it is already fortunate enough to have made it to the battlefield at this time

He himself is in a rather peculiar state, seemingly suspended above the surface of the sea, yet also appearing to have no weight at all

After all, due to his own display of weakness, although Colin was not particularly fond of himself, he did not directly strike a fatal blow. Allowing him to take the initiative still left him with some unresolved feelings.

It was not until he made several attempts later and discovered that he was entering the same dreamscape each time that he finally had to admit that this place might not be a dream, but rather an alternate world

Medieval castles were constructed with massive stones in pursuit of defensive strength, featuring small windows that provided poor lighting conditions

Then his nominal father merely offered a verbal compliment before ordering the steward to nationalize the workshop

When I close my eyes, the world ceases to exist

But how should I put it, Aaron Sotos simply cannot muster any enthusiasm

But now

... ...

Moreover, he should be grateful, grateful that he is not a commoner or even a peasant at the very bottom of the social hierarchy

Aaron also attempted it once, experiencing numerous failures before discovering a method for producing inexpensive and durable paper, thus establishing a paper mill

Aaron, bare-chested, waved his hand, signaling a beautiful maid with a flushed face to leave the room. He gazed at the closed door, lost in thought.

Theodore, however, did not know why, glanced towards the corner and said: "Aaron, you are also sixteen years old, you are an adult now, it is time to go to the battlefield and earn your own merits"

The strange fish gathered together, biting, swallowing, and merging with one another

As the second son of the family, after growing up, I would receive at most a meager financial gift, and then I would have to find my own way in life

To be honest, he had entertained this thought, but after weighing the supporters on both sides and considering Theodore's standing in his heart, he ultimately abandoned this rather unappealing idea

I... I didn't mean to...

Theodore pulled out the dagger and forcefully drove it into the wooden table, the tip still trembling: "We must make them aware that they have made a grave mistake!"

Boom

"Yes, Father." Aaron responded calmly after a moment of silence

The crimson light shines down, spreading across the land and the ocean

I exist independently of all dimensions, I am indescribable and difficult to define

Aaron Sotos experienced an indescribable sensation

Once, Aaron saw a clever peasant child who, while Colin was inspecting the fields, attempted to report the issue of corruption involving the tax officer

The conflict between the Sotos family and the Davis family also arose from this workshop

But... why is it located in the middle of a vast ocean

As soon as the thought arose, Aaron felt as if a dam had opened within his consciousness, unleashing the power accumulated over sixteen years!

At this moment, Aaron felt a sense of desirelessness, akin to that of a sage, and upon closing his eyes, he drifted into a dream.

Speaking of which, he truly admires the time travelers in the novels of the past, those individuals who can single-handedly promote the rapid development of technology and even upgrade industries, as if they possess an encyclopedia of knowledge within their minds

Aaron opened his eyes and saw a vast blue ocean: "Here again, this dream again!"

In the sky, that seemingly eternal star suddenly became covered with one crimson spot after another, which then connected to form patches, dyeing the entire sun red

Or rather, each night of entering dreams serves to enhance the power of consciousness

The men in the hall began to shout wildly, among them Colin was the most flushed and boisterous.

He smiled, gazing at the seemingly unchanging horizon that had remained the same for sixteen years, along with the sun in the sky, and thought somewhat crazily: "If it could be changed, this sun looks so dull; it would be better if it were red"

The sound of rushing water

As for the disputes between his father and the advisors, as well as the conflicts with the neighboring territory, Aaron was well aware of the situation

Although the reincarnation technology is quite good, it ultimately falls short in some aspects

Especially in the hall of Sothoth's Castle, even during the day, many candles must be lit

I am a dream, I am entropy, I am everything

Then, before the other party could rush to Colin's side, they were directly kicked half to death by the guards for blocking the noble lord's path with their filthy body

Certainly, even the most limited information is exceptionally valuable in this era

His sleep quality has always been good; he can basically fall asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow

As for the content of the shouting, Colin simply did not care to listen

Until tonight

The body is plummeting, suddenly jolted awake.

Within the territory, the words of the lord are the law Any struggle without strength is merely a joke

In this world of low productivity, commoners use candles or oil lamps for lighting, while castles utilize beeswax candles, which produce very little smoke when burned. In contrast, commoners can only use paraffin candles or animal fats... If used excessively, it is possible that their eyes could be blinded by the smoke.

Not only did the ancient Eastern moral codes consume people, but the customs of the West are equally so

Aaron was at a loss for words, he was almost nauseated by the sight of the horizon.

When it came to him, as a humanities monk, he could only recall some extremely limited and fragmented information

The Davis family is not satisfied with our previous proposal and desires more

As a time traveler, he possesses a unique ability, albeit a rather useless one; whenever he falls asleep, he enters this dream state while maintaining a sense of wakefulness, akin to experiencing a lucid dream.

... ...

Within this radiance, there seems to be an indescribable horror and eeriness hidden away

The profits from the paper mill attracted the covetousness of the Davis family, who had previously sent some scouts. After several discussions between the heads of both families, they finally signed a peace agreement, with the marriage contract between the direct descendants serving as a symbol.

Although this is the case, Colin has been jilted, and yet I must go to the battlefield for him, which is truly frustrating. Blades and arrows are blind; I might just end up dead... I am reluctant to part with the maid at home...

The sea surface parts, and schools of fish float to the surface, their scales bursting open, as if numerous nematodes are writhing beneath the flesh, growing sharp claws and teeth

When Aaron was still an infant, he entered this dream and saw the azure sea

Aaron stood in the corner, passively observing his father, elder brother, and a group of knights engaged in a heated debate, while his gaze was fixed on the white candles.

Since then, Aaron has become more cautious, or rather, more silent

Aaron also shouted a few slogans, his enthusiasm rather lackluster

At this moment, fragmented pieces of information emerged in his heart

Night falls

Aaron even doubted that this was merely a special dream and not some kind of golden finger

It is as if ... a purely passive observer, a prisoner fixed in a certain position

This action immediately left Aaron disheartened and made him understand his situation

As for eliminating Colin, should we directly take over his position

A powerful force surges within the heart, as if with a mere stretch of the hand, one could change everything before them

Disorder, chaos... oneself seems to be at the center of a void, dancing with distorted shadows accompanied by emerald flames and the frenzied sound of a flute

His consciousness expanded infinitely, as if breaking through some shackles, extending and expanding without limits

Not far away, a larger shadow emerged, a creature resembling a whale became the ultimate victor, beginning a more frenzied transformation of flesh and blood

However, a mere paper mill can be considered the reward for so many years of free meals and drinks

I am the 'Creator of Dreams'!

After all, with the legitimate heir Colin in existence, Theodore, as an old noble, could never allow himself to inherit the territory. In order to centralize power, Theodore also rejects any actions that would divide the territory.

The savings accumulated over sixteen years seem to have finally reached a certain limit

I am capable of anything

He seemed like a ghost, able to let any object pass through him, while he himself possessed no strength, unable to lift even a speck of dust

Feeling as if he had returned to the frailty of infancy in his consciousness, and gradually breaking free from the madness of wakefulness, Aaron was at a loss for tears
