Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 44 - - Dimension Manipulator

"What?" Talon asked with confusion clear in his face. "What do you mean it shouldn't exist?"

"As I said, I… Have no idea how this class appeared." Acrypha explained as she turned to look at Talon seriously. "You have to understand something about classes first."

"What?"

"When someone chooses their class, it's akin to them choosing their job for the rest of their lives. A mage is good with Aetheris and all that is magic and spells-related. A swordsman is good with swords and so on."

"Oh, so it tells you what you're good at the most?" Talon asked.

"Exactly. That's why, if someone chooses a class that doesn't fit them, it's a disaster."

"Lacking the talent for something and yet still choosing it as your path… Yeah, that sounds like a recipe for failure." Talon rubbed his chin as he nodded his head.

"Now, back to your class choices. The first 5 are normal as I said. However, the last one makes no absolute sense. The word manipulation is always linked with skills. Fire Manipulation and Water Manipulation for example. Never before did anyone get a class called 'Fire Manipulator' or 'Water Manipulator'.

At least, none that I heard of."

"... Wait a minute. So my class should've been a skill instead?"

"The logic says so. But, it is a class." Acrypha replied with a frown. She really didn't understand what was going on there.

'What could the Core Dimension want by doing this? What could this class give him?' She asked herself as she stared at Talon.

"So, what am I supposed to do now? Did the Core Dimension glitch or something?"

"No, that's impossible. The Core Dimension never makes mistakes. It is a class, the first of its kind apparently."

"The first of its kind, huh? Well, at least that makes me feel special." Talon laughed dryly as he stared at the choices again.

"One of a kind could be good. But, it could also be disastrously bad. Because it's unique, we know nothing about it at all. What are its powers, what it could give and what it could take, and so on." Acrypha explained.

It was a high-risk, high-reward situation they found themselves in. If Talon chose that unique class, he was betting his entire future on it. If it fails, he was done for with no way of coming back.

Acrypha wrecked her brain calculating all the possibilities and weighing the pros and cons and yet she still found it hard.

"So, what should I do now? Should I choose this one-of-a-kind class or go with one of the safe choices." Talon asked.

In the end, Acrypha sighed and gave up. "I was intending to guide you on what class to choose. But, I give up, it isn't my position to make the choice for you. You have to follow your guts and choose what you feel could be the best path for you." She said.

At that moment, Acrypha felt rather embarrassed. She boasted to Talon that she could bring him to new heights the world had never seen and yet at the first ordeal, she couldn't make the choice. She thought Talon would find that pathetic or at least make him see her in a bad light.

After all, she had failed him and left all the burden of the choice on his shoulders. However, his reaction turned out to be far from what she expected.

"Pfft! Hahaha." Talon started laughing jovially, taking the beautiful woman by surprise. Blinking in surprise, she stared at Talon silently, not knowing what to say.

"You sound like my mother when I graduated high school and had to make the choice of which university to join." He laughed. "She looked as anxious as you did. I guess you both have that one in common."

Acrypha couldn't see a single shred of anger in his eyes the whole time. In fact, he seemed happy rather than angry.

"Aren't you… angry?" She asked quietly.

"Hm? Angry? Why should I be?"

"Because I couldn't help you make the choice, obviously."

"Oooh, of course not! If anything, I appreciate that you let me choose for myself. Even though you need my help in the future and this choice will affect you as much as it will affect me, you still let me decide for myself. You have a very good heart, Acrypha." Talon smiled warmly at her.

"..." The girl was completely speechless for a good few seconds.

Her eyes were completely focused on the young man's face for some reason. His smile was so pure and carefree, it almost dazzled her.

It felt like a cold breeze for her after years of seeing fake, malicious smiles from all kinds of people who wanted to use her or take something from her. Talon had no such intentions. He was so innocent that she could only wonder how such a creature existed.

In the end, she averted her eyes with a weird expression on her face. "Ehem, don't get ahead of yourself, boy! I'm not as kind as you might think! You just didn't get to know me yet." She replied as she coughed awkwardly.

"Is that so?" Talon grinned playfully. "How evil are you then?"

"I did things that would give you nightmares for the rest of your life. Far worse than anything you might imagine" Acrypha replied seriously.

Talon was a little surprised by the look he saw on her face. He was sure that she wasn't bluffing or lying which made it even weirder.

'Yeah, that should scare you away, good.' Acrypha thought to herself as she was about to close her eyes when Talon spoke.

"I don't know what you've done and I don't really care to be honest. I judge people for what I see and from what I've seen so far, you're a very kind person, Acrypha. Even if you did bad things, I'm sure you had your reasons." Talon replied as he shrugged.

For the third time, Talon had completely subverted Acrypha's expectations and made her completely speechless.

'How is this kid…' She couldn't even find a way to question his replies.

Deep inside, his words kept hitting weird notes that she never thought about before or completely ignored.

"You're…"

"What?"

"No… It's nothing. So, did you decide on what class you want to choose?" Acrypha shook her head and asked.

"Ah, yeah, I already made the choice from the first moment I saw it. I had no shadow of a doubt, hahaha." Talon laughed.

"Wait, you already decided from that moment?" Acrypha blinked.

"Yeah, I'm an avid seeker of a thrilling life. Why go for the normal when you're presented with a one-of-a-kind path to take?" Talon grinned.

"Wait… So you're…"

"Yeah, my choice is the Dimension Manipulator."

[Ding!]

[You have chosen 'Dimension Manipulator']

[Dimension Manipulators are beings capable of weaving the fabric of reality itself.

[Requirements for activation:

-Kill 100 Level 10+ monsters with a single attack. 0/100

-Kill 2 level 20+ monsters by yourself. 0/2

-Collect 200 Energy Cores of monsters level 8+. 0/200

-Collect 100 Item Cores of monsters level 5+. 0/100]

"..."

Complete silence engulfed the room as Acrypha and Talon stared at the words floating in front of them. Neither of them uttered a single word for a good 30 seconds.

"What?!!" In the end, Talon jumped back as he yelled in complete shock. "What the fuck kind of requirements are those?!!"

Ignoring the fact that he didn't even know that he needed to fulfill some requirements to activate the class, the things he needed to complete were simply mind-boggling.

The first one on the list could be considered possible even though it will require some work. The rest were simply ridiculous.

Killing two Level 20+ monsters alone? Talon doesn't even know what level 20+ monsters look like let alone fight them. They were creatures with strength that he didn't comprehend yet.

As for collecting monster cores, it required Talon to kill a ridiculous number of monsters on top of the ones he needed to kill for the first two requirements.

No matter how he thought about it, Talon could only frown at the challenge it posed.

"Any comments, Acrypha? I'm losing my mind here!"

"... This isn't right." The girl murmured. "You've been given extremely hard requirements. Normally, requirements would be challenging but not to this degree." She explained. "Most people can fulfill the requirements in a few days of work at most."

"A few days?! I would be lucky if I finished this in a few months!" Talon retorted as he ran his hand through his hair. "Why did I get these requirements?"

"It's… I don't know. As I said before, this is the consequence of having a one-of-a-kind class. We don't know anything about it till we see it with our own eyes. It seems the requirements for Dimension Manipulator are extremely difficult."

"How is this even fair, Acrypha? How am I supposed to do this?" He turned to his companion with a confused expression. From what she told him, the Core Dimension was fair when it came to treating individuals. How is this fair to Talon?

"The Core Dimension works on the concept that the harder the challenge, the better the rewards you will get. If it gives such hard requirements, then that means that the class you have chosen will be amazingly powerful… More powerful than anything else."
