Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 52: The True Utopia (3)

Lee was extremely surprised to hear the account on these ancient continents. His perspective of a peaceful planet was slowly morphed into a horror manor. While he was hearing D's narrative, his eyes were scanning every nook and corner of the landmasses. His keen sight noted all the peculiarities of the four dangerlands. The abnormal Resolve and Intelligence was going hand-in-hand to successfully compile the information.

An got used to the information rather quickly. Her battle experiences had made her capable of processing information much faster. But it was never near to that of Lee. She can be seen expressing a parade of emotions. Fear, horror and astonishment flashed through her face. She put her best to note down the physical characteristics of the continents.

Both of them were relieved as D paused his narration. An sighed inward and Lee leaned back on the chair. Just as they thought that the geography was complete, D pinched his fingers and the globe came back to its normal size. It slowly rotated around the twin stars. Lee was interested to know more about these stars. Since D lives in his head, he heard his thoughts.

"The twin stars in the sky is a sight to behold! Children are taught that those two are the embodiment of Qi and Mana. They standing close to each other are interpreted in different ways in different lands. Demons see them as the embodiment of Great Twin Devils, elder to the present Great Devil. Humans see them as the Eternal Siblings ascended into the sky to illuminate the world. Unfortunately, both are wrong!

They are simply two huge lumps of energy placed to produce heat and warmth exclusively to Utopia. The Will of Dimension took care to not spoil the only life-supporting it has. They also create an invisible protective shield around Utopia."

An and Lee had their mouth like an 'O' when D debunked the contemporary theories. Their raised brows soon frowned as they saw D rotating the planet's hologram again. D dragged his hands to the sides as he gripped on the hologram. The hologram expanded and its outer crust and landmasses vanished. All that remained was an enormous blue colored body of water. The removal of land areas and its supporting parts revealed the unventured depths of oceans. The very sight of patch black colour that darkens as the depth goes gave a shiver down An's spine. Lee can sense certain death from those inner parts.

"What you see is the Waterworld, which in simple terms, is ocean. The surface area of water bodies only takes up about 25%, but it's depth and danger is on a whole new level.

Utopia has a radius of 19,500 kilometres. And scarily, the Waterworld nearly goes to the depths of 15,000 kilometres. The Flora and Fauna of Waterworld are many fold intense and diverse than that of land. From tiny microscopic single celled organisms, the depths unknown houses the legendary Kraken and Leviathan. The Waterworld is divided into 4 zones. They are-

Surface zone - the outer most layer of Waterworld and only spans to a depth of 20 kilometres. Least dangerous of all. The lifeforms are hardly threatening and many in number. It's visual beauty is contributed by ample exposure to light. A pleasent space to expend time swimming.

Sentience zone - the zone of intelligent beings. Waterfolks and other marine beasts with adaptive survivability and intelligence are seen in this portion. They reproduce faster than a catholic rabbit, but the primal instinct to kill and eat keeps the numbers at check. It spans to a depth of around 900 kilometres. The danger level increases the more deep it goes. Underwater civilization lives in great numbers and strength in this zone. They have not entered into a modern era, but they are a bit ahead of the surface dweller's technology. Yes, there are kingdoms and territories, but we don't need to concern ourselves with those information. Just like Humanoids and Demonoids, they have their own aquatic derivations. Halfway through, we can see carnivorous aquatic plants. Be cautious of parasitic creatures also. The lower portions of this zone receives very little amount of light, and beings start to develop bioluminescence properties.

Trial zone - this zone is also called 'Torment zone'. The name speaks for itself. Trial zone contains savage beasts and mutated aquatic lifeforms. The fight for survival is much fiercer than the above zones. The property of water gradually changes from the depth of 900 to 975 kilometres. A certain microscopic lifeform found in this zone onwards produces a chemical magic that increases the life expectancy of the organism while completely hindering sunlight. If this chemical magic goes out of its territory, it simply disintegrates itself and its host. The lifeforms are in constant fight and the winner lives for an exceptionally long time. The creatures are commonly known to have a leader commanding it's pack. After spanning to a depth of 1500 kilometres, what awaits us below it is death itself!

Unknown zone - from 1500 to 15000 kilometres, it's a no-go. The water itself is lethal to almost all living beings. It's mysterious property scrambles any sensing methods. The evergreen legendary beasts like Kraken, Wikyan Dragon, Jalasura, Leviathan, Ghidorah, Behemoth, Godzilla, Sleeping Charybdis, Eternal Hydra and various other gigantic beasts peacefully sleep in here. They are so old that they can be called 'Living Fossils'. They are so powerful, their awakening from slumber trembles the whole planet faintly. According to my immediate predecessor's assumption, they do not cause mayhem when awake, but can end large-scale wars with a stare! Luckily, they have only come out of the depths once in history, and that commotion tore the 4 major continents into 8 smaller ones. The planet's axis was even tilted!

Many minerals and substances that are not found on land are found in depths of sea. Many risked their lives to do so, and only a very few have ever succeeded. Though what they brought was small in amount, it gave them a fortune.

Land dwellers and waterfolks were never at peace. Attempts to enslave both sides ended up in failures and with a lot of casualties. Now, both parties have entered into an unwritten peace treaty.

That is all about the Waterworld!"

D sighed as the hologram disappeared. Lee and An could not take their eyes away from where the hologram stood. They were horrified to an extent their eyelids did not close. D walked towards them and patted their shoulders. This action broke them free of their stillness.

"These informations are too much to take in one go. I have yet to explain about the skyfolk, which I'll talk about tomorrow. Now, you both can have a good sleep."

D stamped his leg slightly and Lee and An faded away like smoke. Their consciousness went back to sleep and their thought processes halted. A moment of uncomfort frown could be noticed on both of their faces, but it soon disappeared. In each other's arms, they slipped into slumber.

The lovebirds woke up in each other's arms and stared at each other. They were delighted to see their sweetheart's face as the first thing in the morning. They stared into each other's eyes as their faces were only inches apart. They looked to be infatuated, but in actuality, were frozen in deep thought. Their minds were digesting and comprehending the last night's infotainment session by the Dimension Sovereign.

Lee warmly embraced An and she woke up from the trance. A sweet smile crept up her face as she coil her arms around him. Her hands went through his silky smooth hair and his hands ran all-over her body. After feeling each other, they broke loose from embrace and got up.

"An, do you remember what the Sovereign taught us?"

Am stopped in her tracks to grab her outer robe. She didn't turn back, but nodded in response. Lee came near her and said-

"Everything he and I said must remain as a secret. You must not let others know of this under any circumstances."

Lee held her arms as he spoke. She didn't say anything, but clung to his chest.

"Promise me, that you will not go adventuring alone. If something happens to you, then how can I live alone?! We are in this together, we will go through it together."

Lee didn't voice his agreement as he locked himself to her. Seeing him conceding, she spoke up-

"I wanted to ask you something. Can..can we get married?!"

She slowly raises her head and peered at him. A gentle smile bloomed on his face as he patted her head.

"What you said was what I wanted. Let us get married!"
