Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Rim Kyung struggled with the boot in his mouth as he painfully screamed at the top of his lungs. Talon looked at him with a small smile on his face, clearly satisfied with his work.

For one reason or another, he felt proud of what he did even though it resulted in a bloodied man screaming for help.

"Hmm, am I sadistic or something?" He asked himself as he thoughtfully looked around, searching for ropes or anything he could tie Rim Kyung with.

"Sadistic? What's that?" Acrypha asked with confusion.

"Never heard of it? It's a term assigned to anyone who enjoys torturing people." Talon replied with a raised eyebrow.

"There are people who don't enjoy torturing their enemies?"

"I mean… Wait…" Talon blinked as he realized what she meant. "Uh, there are people who enjoy being tortured, I guess?"

"So there are people who enjoy pain? Interesting." Acrypha floated around casually. "That means they could be the perfect spy to deploy into enemy territory. Even if they get caught, torturing them will be pointless."

"..." Talon stared at Acrypha with a deadpan expression.

"What?"

"I feel like you're saying something forbidden right now."

"Mmmm!!"

As the two talked, Rim Kyung was struggling for his life, unable to get the boot out because of the extreme pain.

"Ok, ok, relax." Finding no other choice, Talon decided to drag him back without tying him up.

Grabbing him by the back of his collar, he pulled him over his back like a sack of potatoes as he made his way inside the gymnasium again.

There, he was surprised to see that the chaos that ensued had completely calmed down. Every student was sitting down silently while only one person remained standing.

"You're back…" Hyun-Jae looked at Talon and then at Rim Kyung. "Was he troublesome?"

"No, it was easy. Though I need some ropes to tie him up so that he doesn't escape."

"Let the other students tie him up," Hyun-Jae said as she signaled for the others. Immediately, a group of them stood up and approached Rim Kyung before they dragged him away.

Talon watched that happening with an impressed look on his face.

'She took control of the entire place this quickly?' He asked himself as he looked at Hyun-Jae from the side as she talked with some other students. Everyone was naturally listening to her as if it was the most obvious thing.

That was how a natural leader was, they didn't need fear or threat to make people follow them. They simply made them listen with the charisma and confidence that they exude so naturally.

'She's seriously amazing.'

"Talon?" As he was deep in thought like that, Hyun-Jae called for him again. He had been staring at her the whole time which made him awkwardly look away.

"What?"

"Can we talk for a moment?" She asked in a serious tone.

"Ok…"

So, the duo walked away from the students to a secluded corner. When Hyun-Jae stopped, she turned around and faced her companion.

"The situation is very bad in here. While you were dealing with that bastard, I talked with some students, and it's…"

"What?"

"Sigh, there is basically no food in here. It has been the case ever since everything started. Many students didn't eat a single thing for the past three days."

"Hold on a second, didn't Go-Young Soon say that they had some food in there?" Talon shook his head confusedly as he asked.

However, Hyun-Jae shook her head. "That food was only for Rim Kyung and his lackeys. They ate it all."

"... Those fucking bastards." Talon clenched his fists in anger as he looked at the tied-up Rim Kyung on the other side. "Oh boy, am I going to beat him up black and blue…"

"Hold on. I know he deserves what he's getting, but we need to focus on the more important matter right now and that is to secure food. If we're going to try and create a path to the research center, we need a huge group of people to help us. Capable people who can stand their ground against monsters."

Hyun-Jae then looked up and continued. "And we have to create that group ourselves."

Talon stared at Hyun-Jae's eyes with a complicated gaze before he asked. "How do we start?"

***

The rest of the day passed slowly as Talon and Hyun-Jae got busy. They first looked around the entire gymnasium and everything they could work with. Although there was no actual food, there were some water reserves they could use and electricity was still working moderately.

Next, they organized the students into different groups. The people with the best physical capabilities were put in a group, the ones with a more flexible and agile body were put in a group while the rest were put in the last group. Doing that allowed them to know what they were working with.

After that, they planned their next step which was to get to the cafeteria and secure food for the students. Luckily, the cafeteria wasn't that far away from the gymnasium. However, reaching it will require them to kill a good number of monsters outside.

'We can use that to train the students. Practicing on weak Dimension Walkers would be good enough to trigger their growth.' Talon suggested.

Talon was betting on the fact that when the students get their first kill, everything else will be a lot easier to handle since they will start relying on themselves more and more to fight.

With that, they decided that the best step is to start the plan as soon as possible which they decided to be the next day. They were exhausted from the trip and needed some rest before they started moving again.

With that, the night finally came and Talon took that opportunity to get a secluded area of the gymnasium to sleep. Nobody seemed to be using it so he took it for himself.

"Agh! My back!" Stretching his tired limbs, Talon lay down on the ground and rested his back against the wall.

"Good work today," Acrypha said as she sat down near him.

"Thank you."

Looking at his beautiful companion, Talon could only think he was lucky for having a beauty around him the whole time.

'A one-in-a-lifetime beauty…' He thought to himself.

Acrypha had been around him for only three days and yet he already felt like she was a natural part of his life. They don't know much about each other. Perhaps it will be years from now when the two finally get to know one another.

'Knowing who she is… Would that be a good idea?' He mused with a complicated expression.

Even till that point, Talon didn't forget the weird circumstances they met in. The way she was blasted out of the core dimension and straight into his room. He knew that it wasn't merely a coincidence.

Something was suspicious about this divine woman who wanted him to become hers.

"Talon?"

Snapping him out of his thoughts was Acrypha's angelic voice which was scarily addictive to listen to.

"Ehem, it's nothing. Oh, right, something interesting popped up to me in the notifications."

"What?"

"Something about 'Class Selection' or something like that?"

"You're already level 10?"

"Yeah, I hit that level today," Talon replied. "I couldn't check what I got since we were still on the move."

"Open it then. What are you waiting for?" Acrypha asked urgently.

"Huh? Is this Class Selection thing that important?"

"Of course! Choosing your class is the most important step to take early on. A good class will shape your entire future and can make or break you." Acrypha explained.

Many geniuses she met across her lifespan were shining brightly till they were met with their first Class Selection. Sadly, they made the wrong choice and that ended up destroying them completely.

There was no way she could let Talon make a mistake here.

"Damn, I didn't know it was that serious." Instinctively, Talon adjusted his sitting position. Long gone his casual attitude.

"Ok, fuuuh, I'm ready." Taking a deep breath, Talon opened his notifications.

[Would you like to choose your class?]

"... Yes."

When Talon responded, a list of words organized by numbers appeared in front of him.

[1) Mage 4) Blacksmith

2) Swordsman 5) Berserker

3) Assassin 6) Dimension Manipulator]

"... Interesting." Reading through the classes curiously, Talon rubbed his chin. "I got some pretty interesting choices."

"Hold my hand so that I can see," Acrypha said.

When Talon got a hold of her soft hands and allowed her to see the classes, Acrypha's expression changed subtly.

Silence took over the room for a while till Talon wasn't able to bear it anymore and asked. "What is it?"

"... The first 5 classes are rather normal. They show up for every individual with offensive power."

"Yeah, those terms are rather common here so I think I have an idea what you're talking about."

"However… The last one is the one that is confusing me."

"Huh, why?"

Acrypha shook her head for a second before she stared at Talon. "... This class shouldn't even exist."
