INK START FANTASY: Dream
CHAPTER 101: THE TRUTH OF PINE

It all started with Pinevall's adult body dying and bobbing in the sky, where there were only flickering stars dotting the surrounding landscape. A place that is between the intersection between the gaia world and the main world of the players.

The huge tree that floated in the void world without a single accompanying figure, was discovered by Origin. The huge body was brought to the main world, where Origin himself was.

"father brought me from the loneliness of the world back then"

The words that came out of Pine's mouth, there was a voice of gratitude that could be felt from him. Gratitude from saving himself the sense of loneliness that exists.

Origin attracts Pine's original body that hovers in the void and has a fragility and dying body. He brought Pine's body to where Origin was and gave him life energy.

Origin's enormous life energy, channeled to Pine to support Pine's dying life force.

"Origin brought you? but isn't he unable to move from his place?"

Why Origin created and maintained a protective shield in the central continent, was to restrict the movement of beings from other worlds from spreading further and not reaching its own place. After all, the words that Origin spoke when he met the Dream, that he could not move at will.

He was just a tree that had great power and lived for a very long time as the first creature to exist. Pine's talk makes Dreams feel confused about what really happened.

"it wasn't the old man who brought Pine in directly, but I was the one sent by him"

Diaval explains and answers the questions that Dreams ask.

"i used to be just like you, one of the creatures that Grandpa designated as his hands and feet. Time passed and Grandfather's trust in his underworld faded after the incident. The avatar was killed by one of his followers and a rebellion ensued. Grandpa left us and separated from the others"

"..."

"...."

Hearing the revelation from Diaval, everyone was stunned including Dreams themselves. All connected with Origin itself.

Origin once said to Dreams, 'what's the point of choosing people I trust if even I can't move from my place'. The thing that Dream did not understand for Origin's side was not choosing his people to help him.

If the incident ever happened, then it would not be surprising if Origin's words did not trust others.

Then why did Origin choose the current Dream?

What makes a dream special?

Is that just a fad?

Or just a sense of loneliness with his life alone...

Or is it really for the matter of otherworldly beings fighting in the north?

All those questions, can only be answered by Origin itself and time will answer them. No one knows what he is thinking, not even his own dream.

"then, did you bring Pine to this place?"

"yes, I took him and took care of him until now"

"hmmph! you just take me, I'm the one who tried until my brother raised me!"

"but I created this lake!"

"hmmm!"

Again, at the question of Dreams, Pine and Diaval again quarreled. I don't know who is right over each other, but the act of Diaval bringing Pine and guarding him is indisputable.

"you're only taking a part of me anyway"

"partly? what's that supposed?"

"i'm not fragile!"

"yes, yes, you are fragile. Grandfather was unable to restore Pine's dying body to its original state. Finally he decided to divide Pine into 7 different parts, so that the care given is easier"

"that's why I had to start all over. My body shrank again, only my consciousness and previous memories remained"

That means, there are 7 Pine scattered right now. It was also confirmed by Pine's stature like a teenager today.

His life had been long gone, even the events of Origin living with his chosen ones had long since passed. If Pine had lived since then, then the body that Pine had in a humanoid form would not be much different from Diaval's.

"if one is here and one is in the Onteral Kingdom, then where are the other you?"

"i am here, I am in the kingdom of Fersendir. We are one, this place is special. I'm making space magic between this place and the place around the Ferridus residence"

"it's not just you, it's my blessing"

"well, well, it's also thanks to Diaval..."

"good boy"

Pine explained that his body in the Onteral kingdom is one. Space had been twisted with the magic they both created, so the two bodies that looked separated from one another, were actually one body.

That means, from the beginning of his presence in the Onteral kingdom was the path to the Gaia world of the main world and the two worlds had been connected from a long time ago. The path is within the protective shield that Origin created to keep otherworldly beings from intervening in the middle world.

If the otherworldly existence were to know about this, wouldn't the protective shield Origin had created be meaningless?

...----------------...

On the other hand, the place where Alice and Togay were. The place where the guests of the Onteral kingdom are placed.

"what's going on? why are you so happy?"

Oliver asked Togay who was smiling to himself earlier. They are currently together, there are 5 people in this place and there is no one activity that can make joy can be created. Then why is he so happy right now?

"you don't need to know.. does the goddess Alice?"

Hearing Togay's reply, Alice simply smiled in response. It was heard that something happened to them and they kept it a secret.

"come on.. I also want to know, is there something interesting going on? or the announcement of the previous world is an act of Dream?"

The barrage of questions from Jix was very well on target. His background as a well-known media reporter cannot be underestimated.

His suspicion and enthusiasm of the events that occurred, greatly helped him become a famous reporter to search for news. The little information it has can lead itself to the conclusion of the truth.

Hearing that, Togay's face changed and was shocked. Jix can discover the truth of information only from the simple actions of his opponent.

"really? didn't they just meet the king? how come?"

"you have to ask them directly"

Alice answers Janeth's question, who doesn't believe what's going on. Dream and IKILUA only met the king in his palace residence, how can they find jallan to a different world?

"huhuhu I can't wait to accept the reference given by Dream..."

Hearing confirmation from Alice, Jix as a news seeker in INK START FANTASI was very enthusiastic about it. The agreement between himself and Dream in capturing the moment through video, will be evidence of the news he spread.

Currently, players had yet to find a path to a different world other than the main world. If the only player who finds that path and becomes the news material he has, then his fame in covering the news will be even greater.

At the moment Jix is thinking about what the prize is for as payment for the result that the Dream gave him. He simply fell silent and no longer listened to the conversation between Janet and Oliver to Alice and Togay.
