Inventors system

Different from district 13 they left not too long ago when the group appeared here they saw a girl with a long pink ponytail and a cheerful smile waiting for them.

"Hello, I am Anna. As you've passed the outer district you can now choose to add people from different teams to yours, also you can name your team and as the first team who cleared the outer district you will receive a gift." 

Anna spoke steadily and made sure everyone understood what she had to say, at the same time she didn't leave any room for questions either.

Anna first told them to choose the name for the team, of course, everyone had different opinions but before they could react, Morana made the first move and already confirmed the name she liked.

"Welcome again team 'Chocolate'. You may now give me a list of names for people you want to add to your group from your previous district." Said Anna with the same smile.

"That… Can we change the name?" Asked Emir, unsure If he would be alive after finishing the question.

Fortunately or unfortunately for him, the name couldn't be changed. So, the group had to come to terms with the reality.

After the name was confirmed Anna also gave them the prize for completing the district first.

The gift they received was the true objective of this district.

"In order to clear this district you must find and defeat the puppeteer, the one who governs over district Z, only then will you be allowed to move to the next part of the dream city. After each team defeats the puppeteer, the whole district resets and defeating the master becomes harder each time. Moreover, you must keep in mind that there is a three-day time limit for clearing this district." Anna's words couldn't have been clearer and the group was glad they were the first to clear the game as only they knew this information now.

They also found out that time in different parts of the city was flowing differently and so did the time outside.

Next Zoel gave Anna the names of Jake and others. Now they had to wait for them to start the game of district Z, but they were allowed to wander around the district so after continuous fighting the group decided to gather some information.

Different from district 13 this one didn't look abandoned and it was full of life as people wandered around the streets, going about their business.

About three hours later they were notified by Anna that Jake and others were here. So, the group left to join them.

After losing lots of members Morana's team now had 8 members after Jake's whole group joined them they were now a total of 13 members in the group. Exactly 2 places left for Ioannes and Sophia's twin brother Leonard.

Since entering The Dream city they have not met either of them but places in the team were always reserved.

After the two teams met up with each other no tension could be felt as they tacitly and naturally started communicating. Zoel informed them of what they knew and the team decided to split up and keep in touch.

The groups were Erza and Sophia, Emir and Sara, Shio and Zoel, Anna and Lulu, Lola and Jake, Luka, Samael, and Morana were the last group.

After big protests from Zoel and Anna that were shut down right away by Samael, Luka was the only safe option left from the whole group, so, in the end, the trio ended up in one group.

None of them were much of a talkers so they quietly moved around the city examining it for anything unusual.

Unfortunately, nothing, in particular, was found, but for some reason, Morana felt a weird feeling coming from everywhere in the city, especially from people.

She had not used her 'seer' powers since her sight came back so, she finally decided to use them.

Morana couldn't help feeling overwhelmed by what she saw and motioned Samael to stop walking.

"What's wrong?" He asked and Luka's attention also moved towards her.

"Something is weird here."

"What do you mean weird?" Asked Luka this time.

"I am not exactly sure but people here are really weird like they are not alive."

Her words successfully managed to surprise the other two as they both became vigilant instantly.

After checking thoroughly they also managed to finally, see the clues that were right in front of their eyes

Both of their strengths were leaps and bounds stronger than Morana's, but she was the one who managed to notice the irregularity while they felt nothing. 

This in itself was enough reason for them to start taking the matter seriously.

They were now in a district much more dangerous than the previous one, they couldn't afford to take the matters lightly.

After Samael consumed Arvan previously, he managed to heal himself a bit and become stronger, Now he was at par with a practitioner at the low-heaven realm.

Luka also was on par with practitioners at the peak of the sky realm. So, they felt that at least for now they didn't need to worry too much but at this moment both of them felt a heavy slap on the face.

"Let's meet up with the rest of the gang before we decide what to do. I have a feeling this won't be a peaceful night for us." Said Morana as she looked at the duo.

Neither of them had any objections and they started moving towards the meeting place of the agreement.

After walking for about 20 minutes Morana once again stopped them.

"Seems like the game has already begun."

This time the other two knew exactly what she was talking about and both of them nodded simultaneously.

"We have been walking in circles since we started going back." Said, Luka.

"No, this place was weird from the beginning." Said Morana with a knowing smile.
