Raka leaned against one of the marble pillars, arms crossed, eyes narrowed as he tried desperately to appear calm.
The sanctuary was silent except for North's quiet authority filling the chamber.
The goddess of Solidity Senna and Sol is standing beside the bed.
And inside his mind—
Three familiar whispers slid into his thoughts, smooth and intrusive.
Lust spoke first, voice warm and dangerous.
"Finally… you're standing near her again, Think of the possibilities."
Raka's fingers twitched.
"Not now," he muttered under his breath,"We're in the middle of something important."
Greed chuckled, low and sharp.
"Important? Power is important. Attention is important. She looks at you differently. That has value."
Sloth yawned lazily.
"You look tired, Raka. Let her handle the serious things. You can just… enjoy being admired."
Raka exhaled slowly through his nose.
"I am not being admired."
Cedar, standing only a few steps away, tilted her head with a knowing smile.
"You're talking to yourself again."
"I am thinking."
"Out loud."
He stiffened.
Lust laughed softly in his mind.
"She notices everything."
Greed purred.
"She watches you more than the others."
Sloth stretched lazily.
"She'd absolutely catch you if you collapsed dramatically."
Raka's tail flicked irritably.
"I am not collapsing."
Cedar stepped closer, boots echoing faintly against the stone floor. Her grin was sharp, playful, but her eyes were intent.
"You look tense," she said lightly. "Did the little demons start arguing again?"
Raka froze.
"…What demons?"
"The ones in your aura," Cedar replied smoothly. "Lust, Greed and Sloth They're loud today."
Inside his mind, the three went silent for half a second.
Then—
Lust purred in approval.
"She sees us."
Greed sharpened with interest.
"Dangerous girl."
Sloth hummed.
"Complicated, Too much effort."
Raka rubbed his temple.
"This is not the time."
Cedar leaned slightly closer, lowering her voice.
"I don't mind them," she said softly. "Even if they push you, Even if you lose control one day."
His ears twitched violently.
"I am not losing control."
Cedar's smile widened.
"You fight very hard though. It's cute."
Raka's composure cracked for a fraction of a second.
Behind them, the air trembled faintly as North's divinity expanded, stabilizing the forming dream-thread.
Reality was thinning.
This was not a safe place for emotional instability.
Greed whispered urgently.
"She is attached. That is leverage."
Lust hummed.
"She wants you unguarded."
Sloth murmured.
"Or maybe she just wants you."
Raka clenched his fists.
"I hate all of you."
Cedar blinked. "Excuse me?"
"Not you," he muttered quickly. "The… internal committee."
She laughed quietly, the sound soft but sharp.
"I know," she said. "And that's why I enjoy this."
Her hand brushed briefly against his shoulder.
Not possessive.
Not innocent.
Just deliberate.
"I don't want to control you," she continued calmly. "I just like reminding you that you're not as composed as you pretend to be."
Inside his head, the corruption practically applauded.
Raka buried his face in one hand.
"This mission is going to kill me."
Cedar tilted her head.
"If it does," she said sweetly, "I'll follow."
He looked at her sharply.
She was smiling.
But not joking.
For a heartbeat, the teasing faded.
Then North's voice cut through the sanctuary.
"Focus."
One word.
Cold.
Absolute.
Raka straightened immediately.
Cedar stepped back with exaggerated obedience.
"Yes, Leader."
The dream-thread shimmered violently in front of them.
The moment of levity dissolved.
The corruption quieted.
Even Lust.
Even Greed.
Even Sloth.
Because something beyond them all was watching.
And for once—
Raka was grateful for North's timing.
_____________
Yuria opened her mouth to give a brief explanation of what we should do next, but before speaking, she decided to check our current state.
[ Your Level has increased to 35. ]
[ Skill Cooldown Notice: All-Knowing Eyes (5 uses per day). The same target cannot be inspected twice within a single day. ]
[ Additional Growth Condition Activated: If the host engages in battle with a Divine Being, level growth will increase sufficiently to ensure survival. ]
[ Skill Acquired — Survival of the Fittest ]
After receiving the notifications, we made our decision.
We would enter Erdaline's dream.
We would repair her from within.
And if necessary, we would call upon the Goddess of Dreams.
She was known as the kindest among the goddesses. For a fair price, she could heal almost anything if the offering satisfied her standards.
Without wasting time, Yuria activated her All-Knowing Eyes.
Her level had increased.
The skill's cooldown had reset.
She looked at Erdaline first.

North had the most to handle today.
In the novel, it was written that the Goddess of Dreams could become either an ally or an enemy.
Everything depended on how North interacted with her.
If the knowledge he sought carried great value, then he would have to repay it.
If the price for an answer or favor was not paid within the agreed time, she would become the worst possible enemy.
She was a Supreme Goddess.
One who granted what was not beneath her perhaps even what was stronger than her.
I turned my gaze toward North.

He stared back at me as I examined him.
But I cannot see his status window the skill is in cooldown but something within me shook just a little.
