The Dreamer
Christopher waited for a while before the Woman came back carrying a card.
"Here sir. This card contains the remaining coins and can be used to transfer whatever payment you need the next time you come to our establishment." She said, her tone a lot more respectful than last time.
Christopher smiled and nodded.
"I'll make sure to come back here whenever I need something else." He said before stepping out.
When he left, the woman looked up and wiped her brows.
"I feel like I dodged a bullet there." She said with a sigh and stared at Christopher's back.

Christopher walked for a bit and made sure no one was following him or watching him through his sixth sense before he entered his dimension.
By the time he entered, the Obscure Mask and Abyss Snake Body Armour had already been enhanced.
Rank: Purple (Evolvable) Affinity: Poison, Darkness Abilities→ Description: An Armor forged from the scales of the mysterious and Legendary creature famed for its size and near impenetrable scales that could rival fully grown dragons. And with the passive effect of poison it gives off, enemies will think twice before even attempting to attack.> Rank: Purple (Evolvable) Affinity: Illusion, Light, Dream Abilities→ Description: What is Real and what isn't? Where is the line between dream and reality drawn? This Mask treads upon that thin line as whoever wears it appears like a dream to those who they don't want to be seen by, making them question and doubt their own sanity.> Christopher stared at the mask that seemed to flicker in and out of existence and the green and black mass that reminded him of a certain Symbiote back on Earth. "Frickin beautiful." Christopher said as he picked up the mask in one hand and the green and black mass in the other. When he picked up the mass, something similar to what one would see in a sci-fi movie occurred as the mass moved as if it were made from Nano machines. It wrapped around his hand before suddenly covering his entire body. Christopher watched as it rippled across his body as at the moment, it seemed like it was a constantly changing suit that constantly shifted and changed. Christopher had a thought, and to his amazement, the suit suddenly changed its appearance and turned into a fit he'd had on his mind. Pure black pants and a fitting long sleeve shirt that hugged his muscles, and then a coat formed over his shoulders and stopped at the back of his knees. "Interesting. It changes according to my desires. Though it doesn't seem to have an ego like Scarlet." Christopher muttered. Dreamer Satisfied, he returned the form back to the woman. She read it over and nodded. "Please wait a moment sir." She said and went inside. A few seconds later, she came back with a black and red card and Handed it to Christopher. "Congratulations Sir Dreamer. You are now an adventurer. You can take on Red Rank missions and below and are expected to take on a mission once every two weeks. That is unless a mission you took previously has a long duration. And you will give 5% of whatever you earn from your missions." The receptionist said with a smile and Christopher nodded. "Thank you." He said and walked away. Still, the room was silent as everyone watched Christopher walk over to the board where the missions were posted and looked for Red Rank missions. He looked for a while before seeing something that satisfied him. 'Clear Blue Rank Undead dungeon. Party is advised if taken by blue ranks. Seems doable.' He thought and decided to touch it. When he did, the card in his other hand glowed and at the bottom of his information, it suddenly displayed. Mission ongoing Duration: 1 week Location:XXX 'Okay, that's probably everything I needed to do.' He thought and left the building under everyone's incredulous gazes. Immediately he left, he activated the mask's full power and a moment later, it seemed to everyone else that he just vanished, causing them to question whether or not they actually saw him. 'There's no need for me to go immediately, the place isn't that far. Guess I'll explore the city for a little bit. Who knows, I might find something interesting.' He thought and smiled behind the mask. The capital was the most important place in the whole Empire and there were naturally a whole lot of things to see. Getting stronger was a priority, but there's be no point if that was all he did. He still needed to have a life outside that and enjoy himself from time to time. Otherwise, what else would he do? 'Getting back to Joan?' He thought absentmindedly. However, the instant he had that thought, he felt a pang of pain in his heart so sharp he nearly stumbled. He stopped walking and put his hand on his chest where his heart was and sighed bitterly. 'I had been trying my best not to think about it. But I failed in the end.' He thought. His mind went back to the scene of her seemingly having a nice time with that stranger after lying to him. But how could someone like that cheat, and yet show such genuine emotion when he was about to die? He couldn't understand no matter how much he thought about it. But, there was one thing he was sure of. 'System, what are the chances of me being able to get back to my home world?' He asked and removed his hand from his chest and kept walking. 'At the moment?' He enquired. 'So it all boils down to strength huh? Fine then.' He thought. "Guess I'll get a hell of a lot stronger then." His eyes blazed with an intense fire as he now knew his primary goal. Above all else, find Joan.
