Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World

Several more days passed, and it was already a month since Dyne had arrived in this world.  

His training continued, and the group alternated from training with the Power elixirs they had. Dyne discovered that the Power Elixir would have a fixed amount of energy that would remain inside the bodies of those who consume it. It would take days for it to recover if these energies were not expelled.  

Dyne recalled that in the game, this was mentioned during the flashback memories of Gala. In Gala’s memories, he was scheduled to fight Songi in a tournament battle. Songi claimed he took Fury Boost the day before, which meant that the energy would still remain in the body.  

Dyne sought a way to move the energy around their body constantly. They were seated on the river made of Drake water and continued to meditate. They were to do several circulations of the energy from Power Elixir around their bodies.  

The Slimes found it easy to do while Bertugo and Brod had a hard time doing it. Dyne was putting his palms on their backs together and would release his energy to help them move the power elixir on their bodies.  

Strafe was staring in amazement. Dyne had revealed an extraordinary way of teaching others through an odd technique. He couldn’t even manifest the more advanced ways in the Spirit, but the way he moved his Spirit was something that would stun even his masters in his world.  

His methodology was rather vague and strange. But seeing as how Dyne’s own Soul energy could induce and draw out the others' movements, it made him silent. It took a while even for Strafe to understand how Dyne was doing it until Strafe curiously sent a strand of his soul inside to inspect.  

“Dyne. Whatever you do, don’t show your abilities as a Soul Cultivator in the next world.” Strafe suddenly ordered.  

“Hm? Ok.” Dyne answered immediately but fell back into immersion.  

Strafe was shocked at what he saw. The soul energy inside these monsters would begin to move around. Dyne used the excess energy from the Power Elixir and circulated that power all over their body. Slowly, the whirlpool began to draw out the actual soul energy of the two goblins. And as the Soul energy touched Dyne, the soul memories that lingered deep within the residing souls were kindled.  

“It seems that as long as he gets enough power elixirs, fury boosts, and shield elixirs, Dyne could truly train all the hunters.” Strafe marveled. He never expected Dyne to have such potential.  

“No wonder the Sovereign of that world allowed me to go there. He wants me to get this Dyne over to settle everything on my world!” Strafe mumbled and then made a long sigh.  

“It’s too bad that I won’t see his rise...” Strafe could only laugh.  

“But you will be avenged, Master! This monster will cause a storm!” Strafe laughed.  

“I guess I should make his life a little bit harder... Instead of that planet, I'll go over to that one!” Strafe made his decision.  

Bertugo and Brod continued to feel out the energy that was moving all over their body. They could feel foreign energy within and knew it was their Master.  

“Alright! Continue doing that!” Dyne laughed.  

While his monsters continued to meditate, he took the two Slimes and explored the rooms. With all the Gimards killed, Dyne began to comb through the area, searching for items and other objects that he could use.  

He found various cards that contained gold. The cards, however, weren’t colored purple. There were bronze and silver-colored cards found around the area. After counting all the money, Dyne managed to find over 20,000 gold coins from the scattered cards. Dyne began to transfer the amount to other cards.  

He discovered that the bronze could only carry up to 10,000 coins, and the silver could reach 20,000.  

“Oh? So this Purple card should be very amazing?” Dyne couldn’t help but compare it with his Purple card. He didn’t know what the limit was, but since he could transfer all the gold into his purple card without a problem, Dyne knew that his card should have a limit of over 40,000.  

Apart from gold, Dyne also found several weapons and spears and decided to bring them along to give them to the hunters back in Rim Elm. There were also blueprints of other weapons and monster-crafted items.  

“Maybe the village merchant can make this...” Dyne recalled a man in the village. He was called Farlay, who was the village merchant. But when he left, he was still not able to sell his wares. Perhaps the lack of hunts from the hunters made him unable to make anything. 

"I wonder if he could craft items?" Dyne pondered. He could create powerful arrows with this. 

Dyne went through the various rooms to scavenge for anything, and later he found what seemed to be a small stockpile of various tools. He then found something he thought would be extremely useful.  

A long, winding rope.  

“ROPES! THAT’S IT!” Dyne cheered excitedly.  

Strafe was surprised at the sudden joy of Dyne.  

Dyne began his work and glanced at all the ropes that he could find. The kingdom had a large ropes supply as these ropes were used to bring items up and down through the castle's many floors. Some ropes were used for the gates, for the castle's daily necessities, and so much more.  

Dyne continued to gather all of it and see if the ropes' length would suffice the distance he needs it to go.  

“Looks like there’s enough for that... Now all I need is some paint...” Dyne pondered. He had searched the entire floor and could not find the room with any paint. He had seen the Queen's majestic large size drawing on the first floor and knew that Drake Castle had painted.  

“I wonder where it could be. It should be in the castle...” Dyne began to think.  

“I guess I’ll have to look downstairs.” Dyne sighed.  

He went with the Slimes and began to plot his next actions.  

The trio went down and opened the door once more. But this time, Dyne didn’t lock the doors. He left the Slime to hide behind the entrance towards the long winding staircase that led to the upper floors and went out alone.  

There were various burnt areas within the lower floors, which Dyne knew were the battles that happened when Bertugo and his group would go down here.  

Dyne tiptoed east and began to explore the rooms. With the use of the Golden Compass and the Chicken King, Dyne avoided all enemies and even used the Chicken King’s ability to make his movements faster.  

Soon Dyne was able to find a room that had various useful tools.  

A Gimard was around, and Dyne quickly dealt with it. His previous meditations had now shown its use.  

While Vahn and the group utilized their Spirit to envelop their bodies constantly, Dyne was practicing moving the energy on certain parts of his body. The problem with Tetsu's technique was that it could only be sustained under continuous movements for a few seconds.  

As such, the person has to move faster to deliver more Spirit attacks. This explained the need for agility to attack. But with Dyne’s method, the time he can wield the attacks would be longer if properly mastered. 

So while even the fastest character, Noa, could deliver four Spirit attacks at level one, Dyne could already surpass this and make five spirit attacks!  

Dyne’s body had Spirit both on his legs for movements and towards his fist.  

Dyne used the Spirit on his legs to make him move faster, and then he jumped.  

Dyne delivered two consecutive air kicks at the Gimard and then ended with his first attack.  

The young Gimard was immediately killed.  

Dyne wasted no time and began to absorb the energy. His meridians were cooler now due to the long exposure to the cold energy from the Drake Water.  

Strafe, who saw all this, decided to move towards an even more dangerous planet.  

“It looks like that this Dyne will grow faster than I thought. It seems that I have the luxury of choosing the more dangerous planets as his starting point.” Strafe began to search for a harsher planet to bring Dyne to.  

It was then that Strafe’s eyes opened as if stunned.  

“What is that?” Strafe sensed strange energy out on the planets at the fringe location of their universe.  

A sense of dread appeared.  

“What a strange planet. But I sense a calling from it... Why?” Strafe was confused.  

“Is it that Sovereign? Is he telling me to go there?” Strafe pondered. He would never have selected this planet to be Dyne’s starting planet. He could feel strange bale energy surrounding it.  

“But Dyne has shown his miracles. I better at it. The odds have always been impossibly stacked against us. I’m sure Dyne wouldn’t mind.” Strafe laughed and redirected the Imaginarium Bond's energy and made the small artifact travel towards that planet.  

Dyne wasn’t bothered with all that Strafe was doing. He couldn’t sense the changes anyway. He was also forcibly enduring the pain of the burning heat.  

It was then that Dyne felt the last remaining soul was starting to awaken from something.  

“Finally!” Dyne laughed as he performed the one thing that he had been meditating on the past days.  

The image of Alos Vasilous appeared in the memories of the Gimard.  

The dying soul somehow recalled it, and the once painful heat disappeared as a strange warmth resonated around Dyne.  

Dyne opened his eyes and realized what happened.  

“Level 3!” Dyne laughed with glee.  

“Amazing. It willingly gave its soul to you. The concentration of his life energy allowed you to level up quickly.”  

“With this, I think I can tame a Seru! Unlike Vahn and the gang, I should be able to constantly bring a Seru on the battlefield like a tamed monster! All I need is a Seru!” Dyne laughed.  

Strafe was surprised at Dyne’s claim but was secretly impressed. The last time Dyne suggested this, he countered and said that it was impossible. But now, with Dyne’s ability and the memories that the souls of this world had, it was indeed possible to convert the Mist-borne Seru and tame it.
