Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Dreamland
Outside somewhere in the world, there was a city named Dreamland . The place was condensed packed with buildings and skyscrapers everywhere, and there didn't seem to be a place of open land that could be seen . A large wall also stood surrounding it around a hundred meters high .
On top of the walls, were several turrets and mechs standing guard day and night patrolling for any danger . Because of these things, Dreamland was considered one of the safest cities to live in . But it came at a cost .
Security was a significant issue, and so was habitable land on Earth . After the war, many of the old cities were obliterated and destroyed . Too much damage had been done . Parts of land gone missing, blown into small pieces, too small for humans to live on .
This was what caused the Humans to create shelters on other planets . It was a lot cheaper than living on Earth, and often many travellers from different associations and families would live there protecting the place .
But planet Earth would always be home to many, and it was hard for them to leave . They hated the fact if they lived on another planet, they might have to live in fear of beasts attacking them at any moment .
Because of this, the few places left on Earth were only for the very top .
There were only two ways to live in the city of Dreamland . To either be really rich or to become a part of the Truedream family . Swearing absolute loyalty to the leader and doing whatever was asked .
In the centre of the city, there was a skyscraper bigger than any of the others around it . The whole building had been made of Glathrium, the hardest materiel known in space .
Inside, on the very top floor was a bald-headed man in a nicely fitted suit was sitting down in his large armchair at his desk . His name was Jack Truedream . The leader of one of the big four families .
Just then, a female wearing business attire had entered the room .
"Sir, there has been a report that one of our family members have died?"
"What Rank was the Traveller?" Jack asked .
"Rank D sir . "
Once students had left the academy, they were able to become Travellers and either work for a Faction, Family or as a freelancer . The world government issued these travellers with a Rank depending on the difficulty of tasks they can complete .
At some point, power levels didn't matter too much on the outside . The attribute that high-level beast gear gave you was much more useful . It was more important how you used your ability in conjunction with the beast gear .
When starting out as a traveller, everyone started as a rank F . The more tasks you would complete the more points you would be awarded . Usually, it would take a couple years between each Rank to level up .
Ranks went from F, all the way to A + .
Because of the way the system worked, it was always hard to gauge an F's ability, but the strong would usually move quickly through the ranks .
Therefore, travellers seemed to care less for power level and often looked at Rank instead .
���Our Rank D's die often out in missions, why the need to tell me?" Jack asked .
"Well sir, this one was received to us from one of the military bases, and it was one of our hopefuls named Ian . "
Jack sat there and thought about it for a while . It was usual for him to get reports from other families and organisations when they found the dead bodies of his family . They wanted to do anything to get on his good side .
What troubled him, though, was the person who had actually died . To give a person an ability that he had taken away, he had to touch them and meet them in person . The low-level abilities he usually didn't remember too much .
But he remembered giving Ian quite a handy ability . He had also only taken a year to go from a rank F to a rank D and was hoping for better things for him in the future .
"Send me the report . I'd like to take a look?"
The female then clicked a device in her hand, and in an instant, a holographic display appeared in front of Jack . He used his hands to navigate through the pages and quickly read through the information .
There were also some pictures attached of Ian's body .
"Woah what a bad way to die," Ian said as he looked at the picture of his body cut in half .
But then he spotted something that interested him and started to zoom in, right on Ian's Neck .
"Alexa bring me up the report of two years ago on Danny Fletchmen . "
"Report has been found . " His computer system said as it brought up another file .
He looked through them once again and noticed that another family member had the same mark on his neck . Usually, Jack wouldn't remember details like this, But Danny Fletchman was a level 8 user and was a B rank traveller .
One of the strongest men that the Truedream had in their family . When he had died, it had come to a shock to him, and no one knew who or what had done it .
'Could these two cases be linked somehow?' He thought .
"Apparently they coincidentally came across Ian when they out looking for two students . I don't know much of the details . "
"Do you know what military base they are from?"
The worker then placed her hand on her glasses, and images could be seen in the reflection . Words and articles started scrolling past her eyes .
"Military base two sir . "
"Perhaps its time I pay a visit to them . It has been a while, and I could find out more information . In the meantime, find out what you can about Ian's last mission . "
Jack then stood up from his chair and closed his eyes . Inside of him, he could see around ten little flames swirling around his stomach . Each of them looking slightly different from the others .
'It looks like I'm running low on abilities again, I guess it will also be a good chance to stock up as well . '
