Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 136 - - Dimension Manipulator
"Oh, and why is that?" Talon asked curiously as he inspected the cores again. He couldn't understand how these fragile, glass-like objects could resist destructive attacks even if they weren't purely physical.
'If anything, Aetheris attacks are more destructive than physical attacks. How does this make any sense?' He asked himself.
"Nobody knows for certain why. But, from what we discovered, the matter from which the cores are created doesn't exist. Monster Cores are made of a very unique material that can't be found in any dimension. It follows no particular laws of any world and so no matter where you find it, the monster cores are the same."
"Wait, so this material only exists in this form?" Talon blinked as he rubbed the core, feeling the material even better.
"Yes, and it can't be harvested and used in other ways. The moment the core breaks, that material dissipates and vanishes from existence as if it was never there."
"What a very weird fact. To think that this could exist… Wait, couldn't it be simply recreated artificially?" Talon asked.
"No. That's the thing, that material isn't created out of something that exists like other materials. It just manifests out of nowhere. So, making it is almost impossible."
"Almost?" Talon noticed what Acrypha said. She didn't immediately deny that possibility outright.
"I said 'almost' because things aren't as certain as they were before. If someone could tap into the realm of moving through dimensions with pure science. Then, why would I completely deny the possibility that someone will be able to recreate that material and give us a breakthrough in material creation?" Acrypha shrugged.
"You have a point…" Murmuring to himself, Talon gave the core one last glance before he put it in the bag.
'Well, if that happens in the future, it will probably be very chaotic.' He thought to himself.
A material that doesn't get affected by Aetheris at all. That sounded like the perfect armor to defend against other enemies that use Aehteris. It could very much change how people fight forever.
With that, Talon continued harvesting all the cores. Dozens of cores were everywhere. Most of them were energy cores, and a good number were items, potions, and skills. Even though they were a fraction of the total number of cores, there were still so many of them that Talon knew it was going to be sufficient to boost the group's strength to new heights again.
"Many of these are very high-level items. If the students get some of them. We will probably be able to actually get stronger." The young man smiled as he continued harvesting the cores one by one as he watched the counter on his requirements rising up continuously.
A few minutes passed before Talon was finally able to gather all the cores he could find with his senses. He was certain that a few were still there, hiding under the mud and water but he didn't want to bother searching for them and getting dirty. He barely had any clothes he could use for his day-to-day life.
'I seriously need to visit a clothing store in the near future. I can't wear the same stuff every single day.' He noted down as he finally heard the satisfying ringing sound he was waiting for.
[Ding!]

[Ding!]
[Dimension Manipulator has been activated.]
[Ding!]
[You have gained +10 points in all stats.]
[You have gained a new passive skill: Broken Will.]
[ding!]
[You have exceeded the number of requirements needed.]
[Calculating extra rewards…]
[Ding!]
[You have gained a new function: Storage.]
"Hold on a second! Wait, this is too many things at the same time!" Talon blinked as he read through the notifications.
Never did he expect that he would see so many things the moment he finished collecting the monster's cores.
Acrypha stared silently at the rewards. She had already expected something like this. But, it was still amazing to see in real life.
"Ok, let's take it one step at a time. I got +10 points in stats. That's a nice addition." Talon murmured as he felt the new surge of strength.
At this point, this increase in his power didn't shock him anymore. He was already over 110+ points in all stats. It was already too ridiculous to begin with, getting shocked by another boost is pointless.
"I received a new passive skill too. What does it do?" He asked as a panel appeared in front of him.
[Broken Will (Level Max): The will of many is their very own existence. Kill to live or live to die. Only those who truly know their worth can know their own will. But, once one reaches the true peak, a will, broken or complete, can change destiny itself.]
"Huh? What is this overly complicated nonsense?" Talon rubbed the back of his head confusedly as he read the description of the skill. For a second, he thought he was reading some kind of philosophical quote and it didn't sit well with him.
"What does it even do? At least tell me that much. Goddamit, this is annoying." He cursed as he used that opportunity to read through the description again and again.
"Very interesting…" Meanwhile, Acrypha had a very interested look on her face.
"Do you have any idea what this is?"
"No. I have never seen that passive skill. Though, it's not uncommon for classes to give skills. This one seems particularly odd."
'A skill about will… That is a very broad concept. I wonder what effect it has and it doesn't even level up. So, whatever change it brings will remain constant.'
"Tsk, I hate when it does this. But, well, I can't do much about it. Whatever it does, I will know sooner or later." He sighed as he gave up.
"Yeah. Just keep in mind to tell me if you feel anything different. Particularly with your feelings, thoughts, or character." Acrypha instructed him.
"Ok… Now, what is this last thing? A new function? What is a function?"
"... I have never heard of that either." Acrypha shook her head. "See what it does first."
Talon looked at the word and tried to read its description. However, shockingly, nothing appeared in front of him as he expected.
"What? Why isn't it showing me its description?" Talon murmured as he tried again a few times and failed.
The duo looked at each other confusedly. At this point, Acrypha really had no idea what was happening. She was as clueless as her human was. If anything, she was far more confused since she knew far more than he did and understood how unusual this was.
"Try to activate it then. That might work."
"Hmm, ok, let me try."
'Storage.' As Talon thought of that word, immediately, something popped up in his vision.
It was a large panel, with no words on it. Instead, it had a rectangular shape inside of it that was dark in color. In this rectangle, shiny, empty squares were organized one next to the other. In total, there were three squares inside the rectangle.
"What is even this?" Acrypha asked this time.
"This looks really familiar…" Talon squinted his eyes. "Wait, storage… Oh! Oooh!" Talon suddenly realized what it was and his eyes shone brightly. "An item storage! This is what it is!"
"An item storage?" Acrypha asked confusedly.
"Yeah, I know this from games I used to play. You can store items inside this place instead of carrying them outside."
"You mean 'Dimension Packs'?" Acrypha asked.
"I don't know what that is though."
"Dimensional Picks are items used to store objects. They can be found in monster cores like other items. Though, they're rather rare to find and vary in how much they can carry.."
"Yeah, that sounds exactly the same. But, this isn't an item. It's a function."
Acrypha nodded her head silently. 'Instead of a Dimensional Pack, it gave him something that was integrated with the system itself. Very interesting.'
"If that's the case, then this is going to be extremely useful in the future."
"Yeah! It sure will be! Wait, let me try it." Talon immediately picked up the bag of monster cores he had in his hands before he looked at one of the item slots.
Even though he had no idea what he was doing, something inside him told him that this was what he was supposed to do.
Almost instantly, the bag disappeared from his hand before it reappeared inside the slot in the form of a miniature icon of it. Next to that icon down below, a number was written…. 550.
"So it does work! Hahah! This is amazing!" Talon laughed excitedly as he quickly focused on the slot again.
Immediately, the bag vanished and appeared in his hand. Then, he repeated that motion again and again as if he was playing a game.
"I love this too much. What the heck?"
Meanwhile, Acrypha watched the scene with a speechless look. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that moment.
