Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

And like that, a couple of days quickly passed since Saigai's awakening

During this period, Lorien guided Saigai on how to manipulate her ability and also gave her some ideas on her future direction

He also started her swordsmanship practice deciding to leave martial arts for last

During the time he guided her he figured out some things about her ability, apparently, it's mostly an offensive/mystery type, but it's not as flexible and all-round as his Ability

But compared to him she's able to find energy to absorb much easier as with a single walk in town she's able to absorb a lot of energy

Luckily for everyone around, she isn't a maniac who will do anything to get stronger, else, she would start turning every place she goes to into living hell just to grow stronger

Of course, guiding and training her wasn't all he did during this period of time as he still remembers the fact that he needs a true weapon he could use for a long time or maybe forever

So he started conceptualizing the weapon he wants to create with new ideas born and the scrapped over and over again

And now finally after an intense round of brainstorming, he basically has a somewhat complete blueprint and is now ready for the execution step which is what Lorien is currently doing

Of course, the sword that Lorien wants to create isn't that simple, otherwise he wouldn't have taken 3days brainstorming

What he wants is a weapon that can grow with him while also being of aid in battle

So, right now, after revising some of the small details he finally started without further ado

[Dream/Reality]: Create Sword

Closing his eyes he started imagining the sword in his mind while also using his ability at the same time

The sword he imagined is a Katana the same shape, size as the one he trained and usually used

As he used his ability, a Katana slowly and silently materialized in front of him floating in the air, The handle is black in color, while the blade is golden

Following that, a scabbard also appeared next to it possessing the same black color as the handle

Until now the creation of this sword didnt take much energy as it's just a mortal object for now

When creating it right now Lorien 'wished' for the strongest mortal weapon, so this katana and scabbard are made of a combination of unknown materials reaching the peak of what normal humans can theoretically create

But of course, it isn't over yet, and to be more precise it has just begun

What Lorien needs to do now is give this sword some powers

This is the tricky part his energy isn't enough to directly bestow the abilities he wishes it to have

So, after a bit of pondering he came up with an idea, and that is giving it a 'seed of power/concept'

Doing so enables it to grow as those abilities will become stronger the more energy he puts into the sword in the future while also saving energy as he doesn't have to instantly make the sword possess said ability

With his power still in effect, he then created some 'seeds', the first few of ones are for the sword itself with the seeds being

[Energy Accumulation Seed]: This will give the sword the ability to accumulate energy like a power bank

This energy can then be used to recover Lorien's own Source Energy or directly burst all of it in one strike, And the higher the level of the sword is the more energy it can accumulate

[Immortal Slaying Seed]: This is similar to the ability Lorien used against Akaza preventing regeneration and causing permanent damage

And the higher the level of the sword the more powerful it becomes, from inflicting damage and preventing recovery on a physical level to the soul level and then to a conceptual level and even more

[Toughness Seed]: This is very straightforward as it simply increases the toughness of the sword preventing it from getting shattered or destroyed, this also improves with the level of the sword

[Sharpness Seed]: This simply increases the sharpness of the sword as after all if a sword isn't sharp enough can it really be called a sword?

After finishing the 'seeds' for the sword itself Lorien then started making the ones for the scabbard, there were only two but their importance is paramount

[Eternal Dreamland]: This ability is a fully defensive one, it basically creates a domain around Lorien separating and isolating him from the outside world, giving him effectively absolute defense which is very similar to Avalon

Of course, in the early stages, this defense may not be that great and its power will only show when that simple domain transforms Into a true world

Until then the scabbard creates a simple domain with the power to turn all incoming attacks into dreams, as long as the attacks don't bypass a certain level they won't cause any damage

[Recovery]: This will help recover basically anything, the sword if it were somewhat damaged in battle or Lorien himself if he is injured as after battle he may not have enough energy to activate his ability to recover

Lorien realized this after his battle with Akaza when he barely had enough energy to help Saigai recover a very small wound

Okay, Lorien admits he may have taken some inspiration from Avalon but he can't be blamed as those abilities are really great

Now, with everything finally ready he proceeded toward the last step

Waving his hands those 'seeds' flew each towards their own targets, 2 toward the scabbard and the rest toward the sword

As those seeds disappeared into the weapon a transformation visible to the naked eye occurred

Mysterious patterns and runes appeared silently on the body of the blade, scabbard and handle

Those runes kept on materializing, changing and merging as the the transformation continued

And after a while it finally ended with the sword getting a more noble and supernatural look, right now anyone could tell that this sword isn't normal just by looking at it once

The scabbard and handle that had a normal black color now had golden patterns on them, while the blade had black runes running all the way to its tip

Ignoring his now empty Source Energy reserves, Lorien looked at the weapon floating gracefully in front of him as he quickly held it

The more he looked at it the more he loved it, Following that, he proceeded to wave it around as to try it out

It took him a couple of minutes to stop as he then burst out in laughter

"Hahhaha! Finally! I Have a weapon i can call my own"

Sheating the sword back into the scabbard Lorien quickly fell into deep thoughts

The abilities Lorien gave this sword may seem impressive, but actually that just in the future

For now the weapon isn't that strong, for energy accumulation it can only hold around half of Lorien's own reserves

For the Immortal slaying power it could only cause effective damage for low level demons, as for those upper moons i wont do much as Lorien's own power would be more effective

For toughness and sharpness it barely entered the level of supernatural weapons

As for the Recovery it isn't that much, just doubles the normal recovery rate, it certainly cant compare to those demons

And Finally, Eternal Dreamland because of its high level its still in an 'unactivated' state, the energy needed for it to 'awaken' is astronomical

Speaking of Astronomical levels of energy, Lorien couldn't help but feel a headache about it

Right now he is in a severe lack of it, the energy he gets from everytime he goes for a night walk is nearly fixed

But the the energy he requires is increasing day by day as the higher his strength gets the more energy is needed for him to grow stronger

And now he has an other sword to 'feed', not to mention that he wants to try and use the learning acceleration on Saigai which also requires energy

At the moment, Lorien's 'perception' range is about 80m and even if he keeps getting stronger he cant see himself getting past the 150m range in this world

Honestly there is not much difference between 80 and 150 meters in this context, so Lorien always wanted to find a way to get energy faster and more efficiently

"Sigh..."

Rubbing his temples Lorien gave out a long sigh as he decided to put it aside for now as to think about it slowly

'I'll wait for an out of nowher 'epiphany', those things usually come when i am taking a shit...'
