Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel



"The gentleman from room 12 bids half a world core!" The auctioneer stated loudly, with solemnness all over his face. Half a world core for a tribe of dark elves was truly an overkill. 

But Zick did not mind, soon the low grade world core would become useless to him. And he was going to get a lot of it after joining the fifth elder, as a disciple. 

'I should place the dark elves in the subterranean realm. That is an ideal place for them to grow, they will bring profit to me sooner or later.' Zick did not care about finances a lot, but he still considered whether these dark elves could bring him results equivalent to how much he paid. 

And the answer was apparent. 

The dark elves were quite precious in his eyes. They were being close to darkness, the amount of change in the world and experimental profits were optimal. 

"Let's go." Zick got up from his seat with no hesitation. He had the catalogue provided by the auction house, so he knew the items that would be presented in the future and none of them were useful to him. 

Zick had been waiting for the dark elves tribe to be advertised from the beginning. 

Arianell and Aurel followed Zick like chicks following their mother. Their dazzling appearance made many look at them, even among the dragon gods, their appearance was worth beholding. 

'Sigh, I still can't kill Taweir.' Zick lamented to himself. 

Taweir was the most probable suspect, who sold Zick out to the fifth elder. This caused killing intent to rise within Zick instantly, he just wanted to kill Taweir, even if he did not open his mouth. 

Nevertheless, Zick could not do such a thing.

Taweir was not a stupid person, killing him would prove to be a challenging matter. Even if he succeeded, the backlash of his secret being found just made it a one way ticket to hell. 

Zick knew this, but he still felt horrible inside.

"Haaa....." Zick breathed out loudly and relaxed himself. Now that it come to this, Zick thought resolutely-

'lets become the best disciple under the fifth supreme elder. I can think of a way to break free from the deadlock then.' Zick was never someone who wasted his time on something useless. 

Thinking on this matter would be useless. 

Stopping for a second, Zick turned around and faced his two daughters. 

"Do you want to become my disciple?" It was a question, but Zick knew the answer so he did not feel any tension at all. 

""Yes!"" Arianell and Aurel answered instantly, in unison. 

Zick patted both of their heads after a long time. They had grown up and appeared 18 years old, but when he petted them like this, both of them acted the same as in the past. 

Their heads were low, savouring the warm feeling in their head. 

'These two are very easy to sooth, truly. I look forward to their growth in the future.' 

The reason Zick wanted to add them off as his disciple was very simple. So that no one else takes them away. Once accepted as a disciple, it was impossible to throw away the responsibility. 

Blackmail was a possibility after all, the information of him being a dragon slayer was just that effective against him. 

A sense of resistance rose within Zick, as he thought of the possibility of his daughters being taken away. 

'They are very important to me, both on a commercial and emotional level, I can't lose them easily. Sacrificing them would be the last resort, the same as always.' Zick walked after a brief family love sharing with the twin dragons. 

There was nothing further for Zick to do in the main trade port of the dragon clan. 

After checking a few more things, Zick stayed only for a few more days and made his way back to the dream world.

The dark elves had already been transported to the dream realm. 

.....

"This is the dream realm?" Varine looked at the grey fog before her. 

[Dream realm detected!]

[Rank: D-

Clearance reward: a minor rank up in profession( can be chosen autonomously)]

Seeing this, Varine couldn't help but complain: 'Why is there nothing about the theme of the dream in it?! The priest said that all dreams have different wishes and the system would tell me when the time comes.' Varine felt nervous, cold sweat gathered on her back too. 

This was the benefit only the people blessed by the god of chaos could enjoy. The common folks on the other hand have to find the purpose and requirement to clear the dream realm by themselves. 

The temple where Varine was sent to welcomed her with open hands. There was no leader of the priest in this temple, now it was temporarily taken up by her. 

Priests were beings who had to protect the natives of this world, from the dream realm. So they dispatched priests all over the place, trying to clear the dream realm, before people were hurt...

Or so how it is on the surface. Truthfully, the temple just wants to hold the power over the whole world. 

If the natives of the world cleared the dream world, they would be the one who would be strengthened by it. Once such an action turned normal, everyone in the world would try to enter the dream realm, to complete them and grow stronger. 

Then the scale of authority would definitely be swift. For such a thing to not happen, the chaos temple did everything they could to cover up the ability of the dream realms. 

A normal person would instantly die once they can't clear the dream realm. However, it was different for the priest, their body was strong enough to withstand failure dozens of times. 

Breathing in and out to calm herself, Varine made her way to the dream realm, which floated around the ceiling of the basement. 

[Alert: Detected contact with dream realm.]

[Falling into the dream: wolf's tear.]

Varine felt her vision go blank instantly. 

Not just her, all the people who were brought by Zick entered the dream realm for the first time.
