Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

And like that, a couple of days passed

Those past couple of days were a bit monotonous for Lorien, as all he did was Wake up, eat, talk to Saigai and walk around a bit, and then when its night, he absorbs dream energy and then sleeps, and so the cycle repeats

While he was talking to Saigai he also asked her to help him learn Japanese which she happily agreed to

It's a pity that she doesn't know how to write because no one ever taught her to, so all the focus was on speaking which was enough for Lorien, at least for now

This whole language thing was getting on Lorien's nerves, Japanese was at least okay as he had some prior knowledge of it

But if he were to go to some world with some weird unknown language he'd have no idea what to do, this could be quite dangerous in an aggressive environment

Meanwhile, As Lorien just finished absorbing dreams for today he laid on his back ready to fall asleep as his mind wandered around

'Why don't I have one of those 1 click master systems, if I had one I won't have to worry about language, all I need is just one click and I can learn anything'

Of course, he was just joking around, even if he were given a system he'll refuse it, given that his own ability is pretty much omnipotent

'Huh? My ability!!!!'

Just then it suddenly clicked, it was as if he had achieved enlightenment, Lorien's eyes went wide as he lightly patted his forehead, right now all the sleepiness is gone

'Why didn't I think of it before!'

What did Lorien think of you may ask?

'One of my abilities is turning Dreams into Reality, I usually just used it to create material things and I just got used to it as time went on, but there should be no reason for me to be unable to realize Concepts and Incorporeal things, such as Knowledge for example!'

Now with this idea taking root in his mind, there is no way he won't try it, if it works this will make Lorien change most of the plans he had thought of those couple of days, as they will become highly inefficient

So, without further of do he sat down again and prepared to use his ability as he couldn't wait to test his theory

'Let's start slow first, I'll try to improve my Japanese and not learn all of it at one time'

[Dream/Reality] : Improve Japanese

And with his ability used he could feel the Source Energy scattered inside his body get consumed at an unbelievable rate

But at the same time that was happening knowledge was appearing seamlessly in his mind out of nowhere

The broken Japanese he had learned before was getting corrected and improved

If his original Japanese was a broken puzzle piece with mistakes even in the filled parts, then what his ability is doing now is correcting those mistakes and filling in those missing pieces

Moreover, it wasn't as simple as throwing in a bunch of knowledge inside his brain and calling it a day

It was as if he had personally practiced the language over and over again, as he also got muscle memories and better pronunciation with the knowledge

This is truly no worse than if he had practiced it himself

NO! It's actually better, as no matter how Lorien practices, he's still a human, and humans make mistakes, but his ability on the other hand gives him perfect results

Truly a 1 click mastery service, better than some systems

But this didn't last long, it only lasted for a 1minute or so before Lorien's Source Energy bottomed out

Opening his eyes Lorien looked around in a daze, the moment he used his ability something weird happened

He actually became half-conscious in a state between Dreams and Reality, the same feeling one gets when he's just woken up but somehow still feels like he's dreaming

Lorien at that moment Dreamed of himself Practicing and Learning Japanese for an indeterminate amount of time, but it shouldn't be long, he instinctively felt

Feeling his bottomed out energy, all Lorien wanted now is to test the results

'Hi, my name is...'

Usually, when he speaks Japanese he has difficulties trying to get his idea across, but right now as he tried to speak it became easier

Some of the basics that he didn't know appeared in his mind right now together with some other vocabulary

Of course, this is only the speaking part of the language, as for the written part he still has no idea about it as he didn't include it when he started his ability

"A Few dozen more times and I'll perfect the spoken part, as for the written part I'll leave it for later, there is no need to hurry"

Him taking so many times to learn it has nothing to do with his ability, it's more a Source Energy problem as his current Energy reserves are nowhere near enough for him to learn something all at once

If he had enough Energy he would have been able to learn it instantly

Thinking of the possibilities of this ability his breath couldn't help but quicken

"FUCK!"

This ability is honestly too much, right now it's not very apparent as Lorien doesn't have much energy to fuel it nor a Target that will help him in combat

Let's imagine if Lorien had enough energy and a good target, let's take for example some sort of magic or technique that will allow him to become a God, if he were to use this ability to instantly learn it then he will become one

Well, of course, things arent as perfect as Lorien would have wished for, as the energy required to Realize 'Conceptual' Dreams is too much

Moreover from what he learned before from the use of his ability, the more powerful the thing he wants to realize the more energy It'll require, this is the same for Knowledge

It takes 10 or so days for Lorien to learn normal mortal knowledge (Japanese) with his current energy reserves

If he wanted to learn something more power and has a broader path and concept for example martial arts and swordsmanship, The Energy required will be much more than what he burned through today

And if he wanted to learn Supernatural abilities be it magic or techniques... it is predictable how much it'll require

Thinking of those Lorien quickly calmed down as he shook his head bitterly

"Nothing is perfect eh... It's not like I am complaining anyway, I got a short cut, let's not be too greedy"

Feeling his still slowly recovering Source Energy, it is apparent that he will not be able to do anything else today, and so with his new gains in mind he fell asleep, full of contentment
