"Yes, I've figured out what we'll do from now on, and that's… Not doing anything." I said with a smile.

"No… nothing?!" Asked Yuki.

"What?" Asked Rakasha.

"But Drake, shouldn't we get moving?!" Asked Tisha.

"Relax, I am not talking about not doing anything forever. But I need a month to rest and assess many things. I have to accommodate myself with my new powers, the divine realm as a whole, the divinities, the new skills, then dealing with the people of this area (mostly through creating a lot of shrines to be worshiped for), and so on." I said. "A month in the outside world… Which might be a bit more inside."

"Currently the time dilation is of four times the time outside." Said Fuyu. "So if we stay a month outside, it will be four months in here, more than enough for a good rest and also to regain strength and prepare ourselves for what's to come."

"Yeah, that's more than enough I believe." I said.

"I see, so you want to prepare for what's to come… I suppose it is alright then, I also want to train my new Skills and the Job I got, all of this is very new to me but it seems to have a greater potential than we thought. Since the moment everybody got the Jobs and Skills that we began to feel a strange, divine essence rushing through our bodies. Is it all connected to your powers by any chance, Drake?" Wondered Tisha.

"Yes, yes it is." I said. "I had still a lot of time to discover more about them, but they seem to all be related with one another, it is something intriguing I'll have to check eventually. It seems that involuntarily, I've given you a part of the power of a god through the power of Jobs and Skills, something that nobody in this world truly possess. These powers might… allow you to even surpass the strength of mortals, but you must first polish them well. A lot of training is required, this time will be used rather well as you forge your power and improve it even further."

"I see, you're right. We might as well use that time well." Said Pekora.

"But after this, what?" Wondered Yuki.

"We'll move directly to the fiefdom of Heaven Port, where the Ice Tower made by the Frost Queen Venerable exists. It is a gigantic dungeon that provides challenges and rewards to those that climb it, and also contains the hidden inheritance of this Venerable. Or one of the many. I want to grab it by using my divine powers, mostly mortals challenge and they never get anything, but it should be doable for me." I said rather confidently.

"Oh, I see!" Said Benladann. "So that's the plan, it's gonna be hard though…"

"After that, I think we'll move directly to another continent, Muspelheim- Ah, right, I was invited to this convention of Sects and Nations that is in around three months… Well, we'll go to that and then we'll move to Muspelheim." I said.

"Why Muspelheim?" Wondered Miranda.

"That's where the memories of Blaze are leading me. The dragon god of fire whose flames I absorbed from the Chaos Spirit. They came with memories, and I learned about this dragon and his legacy, he said that there is a living Fire Dragon God like me. I want to meet him and make him my ally, he'll also be the key so I can unlock the Fire Dragon Bloodline from the Dragon's powers as the Dragon King I am slowly growing into. It is necessary to have living dragons of each element for me to fully unlock such powers." I said with a slight sigh. "It might be a long journey there but we'll do everything we can to get there quickly."

"Sounds fun! I am in! A whole new continent to explore! But isn't Muspelheim very far away? It will take us weeks or months through the sky or the sea anyways…" Said Yuki with a sigh.

"Don't worry about it, Fuyu is super fast, it shouldn't take more than a couple of days." I said confidently.

"Indeed, I have upgraded my powers a lot… So I think I might be able to handle it! Though I will begin leveling up the Skills and everything for now to strengthen myself and my utility if possible." Said Fuyu.

"So that's the plan. We'll wait a month here, train and prepare, after that, we go to the Fiefdom of Heaven Port to complete the inheritance of the venerable, we stealthily attend that boring meeting between rulers that could let us know more about everything in this continent, and then we go through the skies (or the sea) to Muspelheim, the land of fire." I said while listing our plans from now on. "That's all, you guys can now disperse and do as you please, but make sure to train in this free time you'll have."

"Alright!"

"Leave it to us."

"I feel quite tired but I'll go practice anyways."

"We can't really waste this opportunity."

As everyone dispersed and I walked away, Tisha and Pekora quickly ran behind me to talk with me about things that were happening with the main population of the castle as of now.

"Drake, the people of the castle has been saying their opinions about what's going on with the Divine Realm and they seem to want to build houses outside the castle now that there's a big open area that is also safe from outside threats." Said Pekora.

"Indeed, everyone seems pumped up, can you allow us to lead them?" Wondered Tisha.

"Of course! Fuyu and I were just thinking about constructing houses as well. How about we make a village around the castle? We don't have that many people but it still around five hundred, enough for a large scale village at the very least, a few hundred houses should be enough, right?" I wondered.

"Yeah, should be more than enough, thanks a lot!" Pekora and Tisha seemed very happy.

"Alright, let's get started right away."
