Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Walking through the door, Talon found himself inside a gigantic room, stretching as far as the eye could see. In the heart of this giant structure was a large dining table with a white tablecloth on top of it. Many chairs were organized on both sides of the table in an elegant manner with one single chair at the head of the table.

On that table sat a man, eating what seemed to be dinner. From this distance, Talon couldn't see the man's facial features well.

'My eyes aren't as strong as normal.' He thought to himself as he squinted his eyes. mvle|mp-yr chapter

However, even then, that didn't stop him from feeling the palpable change in the atmosphere around him. It was as if the moment he entered the room, he was hit with a strong cold gush of wind. His body shivered from the sensation and he stopped for a moment.

'Even though I can't feel anything from that man. I can tell that he's extremely strong.' Scrunching his face, Talon clenched his fists tightly.

"Sit down."

At that moment, the man spoke two simple words in a clear and calm manner. However, the moment Talon heard those words, he instantly found his body walking toward the table on its own.

'What? When did I start moving?'

Looking down at his legs that were walking quickly, he tried to stop for a moment. But, they refused to listen to his common. It was as if his body wasn't his anymore and was controlled by an external force.

Eventually, he ended up sitting on the chair next to the man. Looking up with a small frown on his face, Talon remained silent. He didn't know what kind of sorcery the man pulled off at that moment but it was far more terrifying than he expected.

'He controlled my actions with words. That is just like a soul contract. Except, I don't have a contract with him, do I?'

Talon wasn't unfamiliar with controlling others using simple words. But, that didn't mean that what this man just did was normal.

Shaking those thoughts away, Talon examined the man's facial features. The first thing he noticed was how good-looking he was. The man had rough yet extremely attractive facial features with a mysterious charm surrounding him the entire time.

He had a scar that ran across his neck till it reached the side of his head. His hair was blonde with a mix of grey and his eyes were piercing red.

'He does look similar to this body. I guess he is really my father.'

Staring at this man, Talon didn't really feel anything particularly special with him. Even if he was this body's biological father, Talon didn't know the man personally.

'What a weird feeling…'

"How are you feeling?" The man asked as he finally turned to look at Talon with his piercing gaze. His red eyes felt like they were poring holes through Talon and reading his mind.

"... Ehem, I'm doing fine. A lot better than before." He replied.

"Is that so?" The man murmured as he continued eating. "I expected you to request something from me the moment you woke up. But, I sense no urgency in your mind."

"A request?"

"To kill the young man who took the girl you had your eyes on. Isn't that what you want?" Asking with a clear yet mysterious tone, the man's eyes flashed with a weird glint.

Talon noticed that subtle change in his expression and knew immediately that this question wasn't as simple as it sounded. It was a trap.

'If I remember correctly, the butler said that I had some kind of lovesickness last time I was here. Is he perhaps talking about that?' Thinking for a moment, Talon made the link between those two details and the answer appeared.

'Someone took this young man's lover and he got sick because of it…'

"Well, would that make her come back to me?" Talon decided to test the waters before he gave an answer. He knew that saying anything from his own perspective could very much make this man suspicious.

For a second, the man's expression changed when he heard the question. But, he quickly returned to normal as if nothing happened.

"A woman's love isn't taken, it's earned. Whether you kill him or not, in the end, you can't change how someone feels as you will. Only doing what is right can change what others think of them." The man replied.

"Oh… So, there is still a chance for me?"

"Perhaps there is. Perhaps it's all over. What matters now is that you focus on what's important now."

"And what's that?"

"To start your path in magic. That's the only way you can truly shine in this world." The man replied with a calm tone.

"But… I cannot use magic, can I? How am I supposed to start learning it when I don't even have aptitude for it?"

"It shouldn't be for long. In a few more days, we're going to leave the castle to the Northern Ruins. I have heard that there is something there that might help you. Something that can cure Magic Inaptitude."

Hearing that, Talon raised an eyebrow in curiosity. The sudden change in tone of the conversation made him almost fumble the act. But, he quickly recuperated and pretended as if he was surprised.

"Wait, really? That is possible? I can finally use magic?" He pretended as if he was excited by the news.

"Don't rush it. I do not know yet. The Northern Ruins are a completely uncharted area. I have no control over that place. Whether this thing really exists or not is up for fate. We are simply going there to see with our own eyes what it has."

"Oh, but still, that is great news, father! Having some hope is better than nothing." He replied.

'Northern Ruins, huh? I finally have a name. Perhaps Acrypha would know this place if I told her.' Talon thought to himself as he hid a grin from appearing on his face.

"Yes, that's why I called you here today. Now, since we will be leaving on our own, only me and you. I want you to be ready, physically and mentally. You should go back to your sword training immediately."

"Yes, I'm ready to do that!"

"Then, what are you waiting for? Go."

The moment he was ordered, Talon stood up and started walking out of the dining room. Meanwhile, the man watched him from behind with a calm expression. Nobody knew what was going through his head at that moment.

Leaving the room, Talon found the maids and the butler waiting for him.

"I want to return to practice."

"Of course, I'm more than glad to help." The butler smiled gently as he replied.

With that, he led Talon through corridors. The latter was humming to himself as he realized the gold mine of information he received from this dream. He also knew that this won't be the last time he would be here so even if he did get kicked out at that moment, he was satisfied with the progress he made.

At that very moment, while he was still walking, everything suddenly shifted in a split second. Talon frowned as he looked around. The white world came back and engulfed his body. However, this time, it didn't last long as the moment he blinked, he found himself back in the real world, lying on the boat's wooden floor.

The entire change happened in less than three seconds.

'Damn, all of that really happened in a few minutes. The last time I was there, I was unconscious for a week and yet merely a few hours passed there. Time is really chaotic from what I have seen so far.' Rubbing his chin, Talon recalled the details of the event to himself.

"Hey, Acrypha." Then, he looked up at the woman who was seemingly out of it the entire time.

"I think I found some pretty interesting things during the few minutes I was dead." He said with a grin.

Acrypha squinted her eyes for a moment before she replied. "It seems even when you're dead, nothing can stop you from doing bizarre things."

"Talon?"

"Hm?"

"We're here. Can you walk? Here, put your hand around my shoulder." Hyun-Jae replied as she grabbed his arm.

"You really don't have to…"

"Shush, you're still not completely out of trouble. We will have a long discussion later on what you just did." She said in a strict yet also caring tone.

"Oh, man... I'm in deep trouble." The young man sighed as he was led to the surface.
