Chapter 6 - The Gonzalez Crypt: Where History Goes to Die

Julian woke up from a deep sleep after the past night, feeling fully energized. His body was burning with excitement and the magic within him. He put on his work clothes and headed to the Nexus Library. He jumped into a carriage and hurried the driver: "Harem Street, the first one!" He sat there thinking about his "Dream World" ability and his intense desire to train and master it.

When he arrived, he headed straight to the lab to tell William about his problem. He opened the lab door and saw William crafting a potion. He stood at the door and waited for him to finish. Suddenly, a massive blue beam of light erupted, obscuring his vision. William used his hand to vent the dust out of the room, and Julian entered and sat down.

Julian: "I have a problem and I need your help."

William: "Go ahead, what is your problem?"

Julian: "I want to train in the Dream World... but the Dream World needs an enemy to draw out its full power."

William: "That's very easy, just use your brain a little... Open your world and summon creatures, then use your abilities on them!"

Julian: "Thank you very much."

Julian left the room and went to the library, sitting in an empty spot. He whispered: "Dream World!"

He entered a vast, empty space. He was shocked—where was the arena from last time? He thought of a massive palace, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a gargantuan white palace appeared. Julian understood; he realized that anything he thought of would happen here. He cleared his mind, sat in total relaxation as magic flowed through his entire body, and thought of a giant sea where he wouldn't sink.

He summoned a giant turtle and quickly attacked it with daggers, trying to cut it, but its shell was incredibly tough. He then summoned many large, fierce fish from the sea that devoured the turtle in a second. Julian was amazed by what he had done. Excited, he summoned many different types of monsters: a giant green turtle, a massive purple lizard, and a giant black ape.

Julian's blood was boiling with intense excitement. He lunged forward with lightning speed, pulling out numerous daggers coated in water magic. He struck like a bolt of lightning, cutting and killing some of them. One of the apes tried to kill Julian from behind, but he dodged the strike and severed the ape's arm. He summoned creatures from the water carrying swords and magic to attack the monsters. He wiped them all out, but his blood was still boiling, and he felt an intense heat in his body. In his excitement, he summoned a giant white fox with three tails. It was one of Julian's most foolish decisions.

The fox froze everything and crushed Julian against the ground. Julian tried to dodge the ice attacks but to no avail; the fox was too fast. Julian started thinking of a solution. "I've got it!" From the water, he transitioned the environment into a massive volcano with extreme heat, causing the fox's powers to melt within minutes. Julian summoned lava giants who attacked the fox and burned it, as lava is the natural enemy of ice. They killed the fox, and Julian returned to the real world.

When he returned, he stood up and began searching for books to read. While searching, he accidentally pressed a book that opened a secret door. Behind it was a dark cave with stairs leading down. As he descended, he saw rectangular niches carved into the walls containing coffins and corpses. At the bottom, he saw an ancient, decaying door. He tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge, so he kicked it with all his might and broke it. He entered a dimly lit room with two bookshelves, one on the left and one on the right. Strangely, in the center of the room was a single book. Driven by curiosity, he opened it to read.

**Book Title: Freedom and a Corrupt World**

**Content:** In the Hieroglyphic era, there was a family called the Crimson Threads. They were a normal family, but a century later, a youth named **Yui Ming** was born. This person was very strange; he didn't speak, possessed no magic, and didn't move much except to eat and sleep. He didn't play or have fun. His family was surprised, but in his mind, he loved freedom more than his family or himself. When he was examined, they saw that he possessed a unique, unknown power that no one else had: **Immortality**.

**Author: Aristo Gonzalez**

Julian read only the first page, but he was terrified by what he heard. Suddenly, someone touched him from behind. Terrified, he gripped his dagger, ready to kill, but it was William and George standing behind him.

William: "We didn't want anyone to know about this. This is a secret book that even the Royal Family doesn't possess... but we trust you, so we will explain everything."

Julian: "I have a question. How do you have this book if it only exists with the author?"

William smiled a very sinister smile and began laughing hysterically, losing his usual calm nature.

Julian, terrified and confused: "What is wrong with you?"

William: "Follow me and George!"

He followed them, and suddenly they entered an empty room. Julian was shocked: "Where is the furniture? Why is it empty?"

William: "Use your world and think of a table and chairs so we can talk."

Julian: "Dream World!"

Everyone entered, and Julian focused his mind to create a massive palace hall with a meeting table and chairs. Everything appeared from nothing, and they all sat down.

William: "Ask me your question again."

Julian: "How do you have this book if it is only with the author?"

William: "....."

The conversation between them was extremely secret. The things Julian heard were shocking, and in time, we will learn many things, such as how William has this book, what the secrets of this book are, and what the true goals of William and George are. Many questions remain, and the answers will be revealed as the story progresses.

Julian left the world in the blink of an eye and went to the nearest restaurant to sit down. He entered a place called "Selina's Restaurant" and sat far away from people. He felt like a body without a soul, thinking only of what he had heard from William and George. His thoughts were interrupted by a waitress: "What would you like to eat?"

Julian: "A piece of meat with vegetables!"

She went to prepare his order, and Julian sat there, thinking and thinking about the book, the world, and everything. From a person whose dream was simply to become a great wizard, to becoming....!
