..Then, Foldor takes Sho to another place via teleportation, taking him to one of the branches of Valhalla among the star-like shapes above the sky of Valhalla, which are worlds infinite in number and space. From the outside, they look like small spherical shapes, but from the inside, they are infinite. At that moment, Sho is surprised and says: Foldor, what is this place I'm standing on? It looks like clouds, and what are those shops stretching towards the horizon, each shop a completely different color from the others? Then Foldor replies: This is World No. 333, one of the worlds under Valhalla's rule and one of its most beautiful. This is your workplace. I will simply be your boss, and you will work with another person, while I will manage things. And now, let's go to a place where you have an apartment and food. Then, Foldor and Sho head to a place above the clouds that stretch infinitely. In this world, there is no ground, only infinite clouds upon which entities of various types and races walk. Spirits differ; if a human is male, his spirit becomes the same gender and vice versa. After several spiritual minutes, Foldor and Sho arrive at an apartment in the middle of the crowd, or better said, a small room next to a large restaurant. Then Foldor speaks, saying: This is your home now. It is small indeed, but no problem, you'll get used to it. As for the tasks, the owner of this restaurant contacted me telepathically; he will get to know you and give you food and tasks. As for me, I'll go now, okay? Then Sho replies: Okay, thank you.

  ..Sho takes the apartment key from Foldor and opens the apartment to see it's indeed not an apartment, but a small room no more than two meters wide and four meters long. Sho doesn't pay much attention to this and leaves the room, looking at the place where different races and crowds of many types of spirits are, while in front of him are what look like restaurants stretching infinitely, each restaurant a different color. Sho smiles and shows happiness at seeing this beautiful sight. After changing all his clothes and wearing clothes resembling a teenager's, he enters the restaurant next to him and looks at the bartender, who looks like an octopus with eight legs and arms. Then the person smiles and says: Welcome, you are Sho, right? Foldor told me you are special because you have a golden hole in your chest, unlike many. Sho speaks, saying: Thank you, I came to start the tasks. Then the person looks at him, analyzes Sho, and says: I'm James, and I also think your power doesn't exceed 3000 spiritual energy, right? Sho is surprised and says: Yes indeed, how did you know? Then James speaks and says: I can read your aura, and also you are strong indeed. 3000 spiritual energy is a relatively good number for ordinary spirits. You'll be able to kill some monsters from various primary tasks within the dreams of some of them, and you'll develop over time. Sho is extremely surprised by the word "dreams" and asks James, saying: Excuse me, what did you say? Dreams? James smiles and says: Since you're a new mercenary, no problem, I'll explain what they are. There are entities called the Dreamers; they are extremely huge spirits whose size truly cannot be measured. They work for Valhalla. Any world they dream of is recorded. Then James points to something beside him, and Sho sees forms resembling bowling balls in various colors—green, blue, red, black, and a ball containing every logically possible color. Then James continues, saying: And those worlds are infinite and actually exist. Their number is infinite, and the difficulty and strength of the entities vary according to the world's color. Green contains relatively weak entities, blue is stronger, until you reach the world with every logically possible color. Even the Lord of Worlds would find it difficult to kill a weak entity inside it. Sho is surprised [It seems there are strange levels in this world I don't know anything about]. James smiles and says: You will go to a green world called the Kingdom of War. You have to kill ten gorillas, five snakes, and one dragon. The mission duration is three days. Then James looks at Sho cautiously and says: Remember, do not stay inside the world for more than a week, otherwise you will never be able to leave, and the dream will consider you part of it. Sho listens carefully, and some frustration shows on Sho's face [How will I find my mother in this extremely vast world?]. Then James says: Those worlds here are indeed dreams that one of the Dreamers has woken up from. Whenever a dream ends, a new ball is produced. Now, do you want anything else? Then Sho says: I'm very hungry.

  ..James smiles and says: Excuse me, I forgot. Come, I'll get you some delicious food. Then Sho goes and sits on one of the seats while James prepares the food with very skillful and masterful movements. Sho thinks a little [How will I find them in all these worlds? It's like looking for a needle in an infinite haystack?]. Suddenly, James comes and puts the food in front of Sho and says: Here it is, I hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to say "In the name of Amun" and enjoy. Then James leaves while many customers arrive. Then, an expression of psychological arrogance appears on Sho's face as he says to himself [No entity deserves to have its name mentioned over food except the Creator of everything, the Almighty, the Eternal Great God. As for this Amun, I would even feel insulted if I put his name under my feet]. After a few spiritual minutes, Sho finishes the food. Then he thinks about the book appearing, and the book of the Primordial God appears, which no entity can see inside except Sho. Sho looks at his spiritual energy and sees it's 3000/3000. Sho gets up from the food, then goes to James, who is busy with customers, and waits until he finishes preparing their food. After a few moments, James finishes preparing the customers' food, and then James says: You're ready now, right? Sho says: Yes [10 gorillas, five snakes, and one dragon. I'll finish this mission in the blink of an eye, haha]. Then James gives a ring to Sho and says: This ring contains an infinite world. You can store anything inside it. When you finish the mission, you can press the microphone on the ring, and I'll extract you immediately, okay? Then Sho says: Okay, thank you. Then James smiles and says: Now, touch that green ball with "Kingdom of War" written on it, and you'll automatically teleport inside it. Suddenly, Sho touches the ball, and then he disappears as if he never existed, entering the infinite world, the world of the Kingdom of War.

  ..At that moment, Sho finds himself in a destroyed world, a huge black kingdom surrounded by massive volcanic lava that transcends the concept of heat. Then Sho walks and says: Alright then, now I have to look for the gorillas first. I hope I find them quickly. Suddenly, Sho sees a huge entity appearing in the distance, with a thick, soft white beard walking on all fours. Then Sho says: Haha, that looks like a small, weak gorilla. Then Sho activates only the Hand of Destruction and runs at incredible speed towards the gorilla. Suddenly, Sho stops, surprised [That's not a small gorilla]. Then the gorilla stands in front of him, its height exceeding 2000 meters, showing immense strength as if embodying the concept of power itself. Then the gorilla speaks in strange words $#%, while Sho looks into its eyes. Then the gorilla gets angry as Sho runs at incredible speed towards the black kingdom, saying to himself as he runs [If I'm asked to kill 10 gorillas, five snakes, and a dragon, that means the gorillas are the weakest. How am I going to deal with these things?].

  ..Sho runs at his top speed while the gorilla chases him, and he screams, saying: Damn it! How am I going to deal with these things? Then the gorilla reaches out its hand to grab Sho, who gets excited and punches its hand with all his might, screaming with enthusiasm. Suddenly, nothing happens; a black spot appears on the gorilla's hand and falls off like a small peel, while the gorilla looks at Sho as if mocking him. It grabs him and throws him with tremendous force towards the kingdom's wall. Sho hits the wall hard, shattering many walls and falling to the ground. His spiritual energy shows 700/3000, and his spiritual points are 510. Then he tries to rest for a bit while the gorilla has disappeared. Sho feels very weak and sees many wounds on his body. He uses the Hand of Life on the wounds, and they disappear completely. Sho begins to lose consciousness. As he loses consciousness, a person appears with two horns resembling a dragon's and long white hair, showing immense power. He was the reason the gorilla disappeared from fear. Then the person smiles, produces a violet flower, and places it beside Sho, then stands at a distance watching. Then the flower explodes, releasing spiritual energy that nourishes Sho, who regains consciousness. At the same time, Sho looks at his spiritual energy and sees it has transformed from a limit of 3000 to 3500, becoming 3500/3500. Sho is surprised and sees a flower that appears to have died. Then he says: It seems that flower was like healing energy. Suddenly, the person with white hair and red eyes appears and says: A new warrior from the outside world, then? Sho is surprised and says: Who are you? The person, who seems to actually walk on air, smiles and says: I am the ruler of this kingdom whose wall you already broke. At that moment, Sho apologizes for what happened while the person looks slyly and says: Alright then, I think you have a mission, right? To kill 10 gorillas, 5 snakes... Then the person smiles while showing slight anger and continues: ...and one dragon, right? Sho is surprised and says: How did you know that? Then the entity smiles and says: Many adventurers came here before you. Then Sho interrupts him and says: And where are they now? Then the entity smiles and says: They all died. Unfortunately, no one could kill the dragon. It was extremely powerful and very hungry. Then Sho, showing tension, says [This isn't normal]. Sho stands up and says to the person: Alright then, thank you. I have to go now. The person smiles and says: Why don't you stay a while? We'll eat together, don't you want to? Then Sho says: No, thanks, I'm not hungry now. Then Sho leaves the kingdom while the man stands and smiles, showing his tongue, and says: What a shame, I'll have to eat the adventurers' meat alone [His meat will be tastier when he gets stronger, haha, I'll leave him for now]. Then the person suddenly disappears.

  ..Sho runs quickly while seeing many entities. After a few minutes, it starts raining. Then Sho says: Great, I'm already thirsty. Suddenly, extremely sharp ice falls, terrifyingly so, embodying the concept of cutting. Sho dodges the ice shards at incredible speed, showing horror and astonishment, and quickly enters a destroyed building, hiding there until the rain stops [This world is hell even though it's green. I wonder, in this world, can I really survive and find those I love?]. Sho looks at the sky and says: As long as You are with me, O Great Perfect One, I will be able to do anything. Then Sho thinks about the book appearing, and suddenly the book appears before him. Sho says [This is very strange; even inside dreams I can make the book appear]. Sho opens the only first page that glows gold while the others don't, as if the other pages are telling him he is still too weak to absorb them. Then he looks at the Life and Death ability at the first level out of 9 levels and sees that the cost to evolve to the second stage is 5000 spiritual points. He looks at the description and features (When Life and Death are upgraded to the second level, you will be able to transform your feet into the Foot of Life and the Foot of Destruction. Your spiritual energy will double. The Hand of Destruction will evolve to turn black in its lowest degree and become much stronger, and similarly for the Hand of Life). Then an idea comes to Sho [Since everything in the spirit world contains spiritual energy, I will destroy the ice falling like rain and gain points]. Then Sho smiles and uses the Hand of Life and the Hand of Death, destroying the ice shards and gaining many points. He continues doing this until the rain stops.
