Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Zick looked at the blinding sight before him.

Millions of stars gathered into a point, forming into sight beyond words and reason. This galaxy was called the dragon's lair, it was one of the top, if not the best galaxies in the dark faction.

Zick did not directly teleport to the dragon's lair, there was no rush to reach there. He did not want to use world core unnecessarily, only depending on Arianell's quasi-divinity throughout the journey.

'Hmm, It took longer because of those weird monsters and natural disasters.' Zick thought while accelerating towards the galaxy before him, Arianell and Aurel were pulled along with him.

It had taken around a few weeks to reach their destination, it was longer than Zick expected because of certain incidents. The space was by no means safe, strong monsters could pop out of nowhere if unfortunate, great god-level or even higher-rank monsters could appear.

Right now, the chances of encountering such monsters were low, but it was speculated that the number of monsters would exponentially increase in the future. And the apex realm, which remained mysterious, would have a deeper connection to the universe.

Zick came to stop after a while, receiving a message on the device used to connect the dark faction trade port.

It seems like the thing he put up for sale had all been sold off. It was some of the captives that he got from the worlds he priorly looted. They were not very useful, thus he put them in the sale requesting the things that he needed.

There was a message for him on the device too, the god who bought the captives seemed to be requesting some more of them.

'He is offering a very high price for them, I have no reason to refuse it.' Zick replied to the god positively.

The captive that this god requested was the ice hill wolfmen, who were not very rare, but still hard to come by often. They were not much of use to Zick.

Leaving some for himself, Zick sold all of them for certain materials. The material included many unique things like - Tears of a golden eye goose, the leather of a cross bull, the sand of a freezing star, and so on.

These were things that Zick needed, to further his experimentation in many fields.

After finishing with the trade port, Zick moved toward the collaboration world, the main headquarters of the dragon clan. He passed by many worlds, having dragon gods ruling over them.

Zick did not encounter many monsters along the way, as he was within a galaxy right at the moment. Regular monster hunts were carried around here by high-ranking gods.

'It's not a bad environment to live in, I will be moving in here soon too. I won't have to worry about encountering monsters anymore then.' Zick felt satisfied thinking about this.

The dragons with great god-level strength had invited him to move to the dragon lair, a long time ago. And most of all, it was for free, they would be the ones in charge of transporting his world. This made him accept the offer with no hesitation.

A while later, Zick arrived at his destination. A World thousands of times bigger than a normal one. It was the collaboration world, a high-grade one at that.

Even Zick salivated thinking about high-grade world cores. With that, he might just jump up to mid-great god rank at once, or even higher.

'But, the drawback won't be small, My chaotic divinity might just go out of my control. So even if I ever got one, I can only absorb half of it at a time.' Zick slowly descended to the world below him.

It was a waste of time thinking about something impossible, a high-grade world means there was at least one supreme being in it. There was no way anyone would dare to do anything funny there.

'This is the main headquarters, but it isn't the place where the leader of the dragon clan lives. I don't want to meet him no matter what, there is no flaw in my dragon status, but it is never good to let my guard down.'

As Zick went past the barrier around the world easily, he felt an uncountable number of gods present throughout the world. This world was used for trading and dragon clan meetings, more than nurturing rare species and material.

Nevertheless, as expected of a high-grade world, there was no inadequacy in rare materials or species. The concentration and quality of mana were amazing too.

As it goes, the higher the grade of the world core, the higher the chance that people with talent are born. This was something accepted by every god, as it was a fact proven true again and again.

Moving according to the information, Zick arrived at the main capital of the dragon race in this world.

The capital looked dazzling even from a distance. The capital was huge, covering millions of kilometers of area. There was a silver palace in the middle that especially stood out from the others, it was on high ground, visible even to Zick.

Only when he arrived near the boundary of the capital, did the guard arrive to check his identity. Only dragon clan members can enter the city, no other clan or god could enter it.

Because of the barrier, Zick could only travel through the normal route. Luckily there are trains, teleportation services, and flying machines allowing for fast transportation.

The atmosphere in the capital was bright, normal dragonman and women could be seen walking in the street. The level of technology was also very high.

Thinking for a second, Zick along with the other two entered one of the famous restaurants.

Paying the entry fees through the clan merit points, Zick entered the first class section.

Sitting on a seat, Zick spoke uninterestedly: "Order anything you want."

Arianell and Aurel began going through the menu immediately, after getting Zick's permission.

Both of them were knowledgeable about the language used here, allowing them to read easily.

Zick chose whatever seemed interesting and submitted it along with the things chosen by Arianell and Aurel.

'Though I can go on without any rest or conversation, these two aren't the same.' Zick had not exchanged many words with both of them while traveling at all.

Hence Zick decided to eat food normally and act more like a family.

"Right, you wanted to keep that cat with you, yes?" Zick initiated a conversation with no hesitation.

Arianell's eyes darted toward Zick instantly, "Yes, father. We wanted to keep that cat as a pet." Her crystal clear voice reached Zick.

There was no awkwardness even as they spoke using their mouths after a long time, they could only transmit to each other in space.

The atmosphere was quite light with everyone maintaining a smile on their face.

Zick showed an expression of consideration and then nodded.

"Alright, you can keep it. But be sure to take care of it, especially teach it how to control terror in the dream world." Zick agreed with not much thought.

The cat held little importance to him, there were not many things it could do in the dream world.

As Zick ate dinner while talking to the other two, the golem controlled by him also completed explaining the situation to Varine and the others.

Time flew differently in space and the normal world. Many days passed by for Zick, but only a few hours went by in the dream world.

.....

The golem Zick spoke with a domineering attitude: "What do I want from you? Do you think you have the right to question me? You, without even any worth?"

"Ah~ Do you think I don't know that you made a contract with the person controlling the golems?" Zick released pressure incomparable to his prior atmosphere.

Zick conveniently used the contract he made with them. It did not bound him in any way right now.

Leona and Anastasia felt their body getting covered in a cold sweat, their body shuddering all over.

On the other hand, Varine standing beside Zick was not affected by the pressure. Looking at everything like a spectator.

'How...?' Leona felt immense shock internally, her deal with Zick, of helping once in the future was secret.

Anastasia brought herself together somehow.

"No, you misunderstood something, sir." Her attitude changed immediately.

"We were forced to make a contract with him at that moment. And we are sorry for our disrespectful attitude. As you must know, we were very shaken by arriving in a strange environment." Anastasia spoke eloquently, unlike her attitude the first time she met Zick.

Anastasia too had matured by staying near Leona.

Hearing her, a random thought appeared in Zick's head: 'Do people with high potential always get high IQ too?'

Zick was surprised by Anastasia's attitude, she was able to put aside any emotions and act subservient, if this was not genius, then what was?

Zick smiled externally with contempt: "That so? I get it, you don't have any proof either, right?"

Anastasia nodded her head helplessly, with relief rising within her.

"Let me be frank then, The reason that I brought you two along is — For you to join the chaos temple," Zick said with a thin smile with a hidden motive.
