Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

"So, that's the sect? The entire mountain range with such beautiful sakura trees of all sizes, those wooden structures, bridges, water bodies… Damn, It looks awesome," Arkhen said in awe as he saw the flying ship approaching a majestic but also beautiful mountain range.

"Yep. The jungle in the west and eighty kilometers area around the mountain range also belong to the sect. That tall shadow of a tower far away is another organization, called Dark Shadow Tower. But, we don't have a good relationship with them," Lady Rong said.

"I see."

Soon as they neared the Cherry Blossom Mountain sect, Arkhen saw a few flying ships and exquisite wooden buildings, both big and small, spreading everywhere on the mountain range.

There were also nodes of small rivers spreading in the mountains and several arch bridges.

Lady Rong controlled the flying ship and stopped at the central peak, outside of a giant palace that was five hundred meters tall and looked extremely exquisite and elegant.

It was made of red and brown wood with many traditional and classic-looking decorations and designs carved on it.

People were moving to and fro out of the palace. Many recognized Lady Rong as she and Arkhen got off the ship and greeted her while passing by.

​ Arkhen had asked things about Meya and Gereld on the way and knew they were personal disciples of Lady Rong, who was a vice-peak master of Illusion Flower Mountain Peak.

One thing Arkhen had confirmed was that the true identity of Lady Rong was a secret. He knew through Velshi that Lady Rong was actually a powerhouse of the 4th realm. As in, her real body.

The one here was just a clone, an avatar of hers. But, Arkhen speculated that this was a secret of hers.

Arkhen didn't know why such a strong powerhouse bothered to put an avatar here in the 1st realm. He was curious but didn't want an immediate answer as he didn't want to tell her that he knew about her true background.

"For now, follow this bird. It will take you to Meya and Gereld's place. They are on Illusion Flower mountain peak. Meanwhile, I am going into the palace to arrange your entry into the sect," Lady Rong said as she waved her hand, causing a small sparrow bird to appear.

"Alright. Thank you for the trouble," Arkhen said with a smile and nodded before he started following the bird on his force field.

…

Arkhen saw many people, young and old, on the way. When he entered the Illusion Flower mountain after crossing a long bridge, the guards stopped him. But after noticing the bird, they quickly let him go.

As he walked on the wide stone stairs going upward while seeing various exquisite structures on the mountain, Arkhen soon heard a commotion.

"Stop following me!!"

'It's Meya's voice!' Arkhen exclaimed and felt an unknown feeling in his heart. This little brat Meya had really made a place in his heart. He missed her naughty antics and cheerful personality.

Arkhen followed the voice as he arrived on open ground at the large wide mountain section. There was a fountain in the middle with various trees and benches at the corners along with food stalls, stores, and a large wooden palace.

Soon, Arkhen saw Meya's back as he recognized her long black hair and her petite figure. Her current hairstyle was a long ponytail, and she had worn a traditional dress with long sleeves and an additional faint layer of net-like cloth with a design over her dress.

"Come on, Meya! Just one hour. We can drink some coffee or eat some food," said a handsome man with short red hair. He had a cheeky grin on his face as he faced Meya. His name was Refal.

'This bastard…' Meya cursed in her mind. 'Just because he is peak master's disciple, he can pester me like that? Arghhh! I am going to leave if master Rong doesn't fix this problem.'

"I said, no! Don't you have anything else to do?! Stop pestering me!" Meya said while fuming as she stomped her feet.

"You are cute even when you are angry, hehe."

"You!"

Suddenly, Refal saw a tall man approaching Meya from behind. Meya also saw Refel's gaze moving away from her and directed a bit to the side, behind her.

Arkhen walked towards Meya and lightly patted Meya's right shoulder before pointing his finger at her shoulder such that when she turned her head, his finger pressed into her soft cheeks. But shortly, she exclaimed happily, "Brother Arkhen!"

Meya screamed as her heart started beating wildly, and her face turned red. She jumped and hugged Arkhen tightly as tears started dropping from her eyes. "I-I missed you so much!"

"Hahaha, me too! But now I am here. You didn't expect this, right?"

"Mhmm," Meya nodded as she felt so happy that she was on cloud nine. A strange comfort spread throughout her body in Arkhen's presence and embrace.

'Brother Arkhen? Does she have another brother?' Refal thought. His eyes were filled with envy as he saw Meya tightly hugging Arkhen. 'I want her… Damn. Alright, I should tell my master to propose my marriage to her. It's time for that.'

Arkhen and Meya separated and stood side by side as Meya side-hugged Arkhen with her arms wrapping around Arkhen's waist.

"Refal, you see him? He is my fiancé, humph. So, stop pestering me," Meya said with a snort.

Arkhen looked at the Refal guy and slightly narrowed his eyes. 'This little shit wants Meya?'

"Haha, who are you fooling? You just called him brother Arkhen. Anyway, It's fine. You can catch up with your brother. I'll come later," Refal said with a laugh and left as he descended the mountain after unfurling his energy wings.

"Wait, No!" Meya stomped her feet. "Damn! Such an idiot," Meya cursed and said, "I should have kissed you in front of him."

"Did he really annoy you that much?" Arkhen asked with a wry smile.

"Every single day for the last fifteen days! He broke up with his girlfriend after seeing me! What a trash!" Meya said with disgust. "But he is peak master's disciple and a 6th-class powerhouse. So, he got both the background and sufficient individual power."

"Well, I am here now. So, don't worry," Arkhen said with a grin.

"But how did you come here? Which peak are you going to join?" Meya curiously asked as she held Arkhen's hand and took him to sit on a bench below a medium-sized sakura tree.

Arkhen told her everything like how he met Lady Rong and the things that happened afterward.

"So, sister Azela is gone too… when will she come out from that mysterious place? They are slumbering there, right? You said it before," Meya asked.

"Don't know the exact time, but I want to let all of them out as soon as possible," Arkhen said with a wry smile. He then proceeded to tell her about the slumbering and Awakening in a rough manner, just enough to let her get a general idea of that.

"So that's how it is… But I don't want to slumber. I want to stay with you," Meya said with a pout.

"I'll commence your awakening after everyone is done so that you won't need to slumber and wait for your turn."

"Good. Then let's start working towards it. Tell me what I need to do to help you," Meya said with a grin as she squeezed herself toward Arkhen.

[My lord. I told you that your women can help you gather reality essence in Mystic Wonderland. Since Meya is also a member and is powerful enough to start working, I'll tell you].

'Oh? Quick, tell me.'
