Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 292: Account Of Losses

As she stood up and stepped to the cafeteria, she casually swung her eyes to the front door of the wooden cabin and saw a person standing at the doorframe with a smile.

"Oh, he is awake!"

Hudson exclaimed as he too sensed the newly appeared presence of Lee Shen. Till a second ago, he was not there.

Lee, wearing a pair of trousers and a tee-shirt, slowly walked to them. Seeing Ruella's figure, numerous questions and assumptions popped in his mind.

There was no change to the cafeteria. It looked the same with a counter and a table with four chairs around them.

"Morning kiddo."

Dnekewy's voice rose from the sword which was kept on the counter. Hudson who sat next to the sword quickly made some tea. He then walked to the table with those three teacups.

After Hudson left the counter, D materialised as the gaseous apparition. The sight was a total surprise for Lee as he stared at the funny movements.

Walking barefoot, Lee Shen felt the grass bristles brushing to his foot. Enjoying the sensation, he came close to the table with gentle steps.

The trio had already seated when he took his sweat time to walk. Finding their eyes focused on him, Lee silently sat on the fourth chair.

As soon as he sat, Fero came running at him as wind and Zena overtook him before he could reach Lee.

Without saying anything, he let his fingers run through the beautiful black fur of the Hyena and the unparalleled beauty of the Perrafin. The beasts pushed their forehead to his thighs in return. Telepathically, he spoke to them.

The trio then noticed his smile fading away and replaced with solemn expressions. It did not take long for them to conclude that Lee could talk with the beasts he had tamed.

About a minute later.

The duo left from Lee Shen's vicinity and he focused on the teacup in front of him. The warmth of the tea was assured by the steam rising from the cup.

As Hudson, D and Ruella watched, he took the cup and pour the hot tea into his mouth!

It was quick and the cup was placed back on the table. D leaned forward and found that the cup had become empty. With concern, he asked Ruella-

"Hey, are you sure that you fixed him right?"

The question was a joke but D intended to ask that since what Lee Shen did was gulp down hot, piping tea!

Even as the Dimension Sovereign, that was a trick difficult to pull off. Even after becoming a soul, he did not try to attempt it.

Ruella nodded in reply and observed Lee Shen. His face revealed his mind compiling and organising information.

The next second, he raised his eyes and skimmed over the faces of the trio.

"Tell me everything that happened."

From the beasts' account, Lee Shen comprehended that the chaos and disorder the System Space went through was related to him. Now he wanted to know how much the system and its residents have suffered.

Ruella took a quick peek of the faces of the two souls. Hudson locked gaze with her and they stared at Dnekewy together. Thus, D was assigned to explain everything to Lee Shen.

"The Amortal's power...it was more destructive than we have imagined."

D took a pause and the expressions embedded in those words were understandable to Lee Shen. The undeveloped head turned its head and took a look at the dense vegetation growing a little far from the house and continued-

"Your body which was reconstructed to the peak of human standards were thoroughly ruined by the Tubian. Whether it is your skill in dodging or your luck, something helped you from taking killing blows.

The part that made your rescue insanely troublesome was the final suicide attack. That blast spewed out all the Amortal's power like a fountain and you were exposed to it at high concentration.

Stating the fact, that power was what gave form to the 999 dimensions and induced the Will of the Dimension and serendipity in them.

Since it was lacking a source and in a foreign body, you, it tried to consume you. That caused your state to be more miserable. Our joint effort repelled the force after six days."

A sudden frown on Lee Shen's face made D stop the narration. Lee had an internal urge to open the system interface and see the current stats but he suppressed them and nodded at D to continue.

"When Ruella rescued you and brought you inside the System Space, things went unexpected. The energy inside you began to weaken the stability of the subspace which led to numerous instantaneous and random cracks in the fabric.

Except for the three wyverns, Zena, Fero and us four, only small beasts are left alive in here. The less agile Minotaur community fell through the cracks and was lost forever.

With the loss of a closely-knit community and your unyielding physical injuries, we thought the damages had performed.

But we were late to know that a part of your soul and the system were also the victims."

D gave a short break for Lee to ask questions. Instead, he said-

"Continue."

"The exposure of your body to the Amortal's energy was quickly repaired. The reconstruction was done naturally. Ruella was adamant to not use the privilege of the Workshop.

But the exposure of your soul is yet to heal. Humans have the least spiritual healing properties, so you will have to consult Ruella to slowly recover the perfection of the soul."

D deliberately hid the sacrifice of their soul essence. He did not want Lee Shen to be in debt to him. The Dimension Sovereign was the one indebted to him in the first place.

When D went silent after the explanation, Lee then sensed the imperfection in his soul. He was unable to enter his conscious chamber and that was reason enough to say that the damage was real and intense.
