Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2451: Arrival



FLUOSH!

Noah and his family crossed through the mysterious Gate, as they emerged in the middle of a bustling, modern city, with huge skyscrapers, buildings, shops, and thousands of people... humans.

"Huh? Where are we...?" Eleanora wondered. "This place is weird... Hm? Why am I wearing strange clothes? Where are my other clothes?"

"W-What the hell?" Dante gasped. "My clothes are also gone! Also where are my horns and scales? I'm completely naked here!"

"This is... my ears are gone too," said Iris. "My tail as well... But these clothes. Normal, human clothes? A dress with jeans? How ordinary..."

"....."

Noah's eyes widened, he noticed some sort of powerful Law exerting over everyone and his own body. He knew he could resist the law and unleash his powers, but the law would then rebound eventually, probably creating some sort of great backlash if he wasn't careful.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He noticed his vampiric traits were gone, his long fangs, pointy ears, long claws, and that's about it. The rest remained, while his regal vampire clothes were gone, now replaced by a black suit with a white shirt and a red tie.

He looked like a very handsome young CEO, and several passing girls eyed him a lot, while Noah completely ignored them though, as he glanced his surroundings.

One thing he noticed was that he and his family had suddenly stepped out of the Gate, which was now gone. What was behind them was the building for a large mall full of luxurious- looking shops and restaurants.

"This must be the work of some sort of Dimensional Law, and perhaps a Dimensional Dao merged into it." He said. "To think they were able to create such an incredible construct. This is no ordinary foe we're up against. And I'm afraid it might be something even beyond us."

"B-Beyond us?" asked Dante, a bit afraid. "Uh, dad, you look classy though."

"Hmph, these clothes are hardly my type," Noah sighed. "If anything, I had mostly forgotten about Earth's fashion. But this Earth... or the imitation of it, is not ours, isn't it? It's not like that one."

"Indeed, this seems to be something like a parallel Earth if anything," Iris said. "Judging by people's appearances and the letters I'm seeing everywhere, are we in an Asian country? Either Japan or China?"

"Japan," said Noah, he still recognized Kanji when he saw them. "This is a city that had been ruined back on our original Earth, Tokyo. It ceased to exist when the Awakening started. This is definitely not our original world."

"Original world..." said Eleanora.

"Oh right, I remember they once talked about Earth before..." said Dante. "But wasn't that world destroyed?"

"...Not completely," said Noah.

When Noah had become the supreme being of Earth, he had absorbed the entire planet into his own Divine Blood Realm, alongside the sun and the various other planets, which he feed upon their powers and energies to gain even more strength.

After that, he set off to another planet, a world dominated by dragons, where his journey ended ending abruptly, as the Outer Gods ambushed him there. This was the place where he was ultimately killed alongside his friends and family, but thanks to the protection of

Nyarlathotep, their souls reincarnate inside of Abyss.

Although Noah thought at first that his Divine Realm had been destroyed and so everything within it, he was wrong, through his journey across Abyss, he found Divine Realm Fragments which he absorbed over time.

They had become a great chaotic event, causing destruction across Abyss as they distorted space and generated places similar to the Dungeons and Gates from Earth. Vampires plundered them for resources, although only a few dozen had been discovered when he reincarnated, many more were uncharted over the years.

Noah fought against the Vampires as he absorbed back his Divine Realm Fragments, reconstructing whatever remained of Earth and the other planets and creating the two other moons of Abyss, the Emerald Moon and the Crimson Moon, where the reincarnated souls of the humans lived, now as Blood Elves, and other races.

"Our Earth might have been ultimately destroyed, but we rebuilt it into the two Moons, the Emerald Moon and the Crimson Moon," said Noah. "Right, Iris?"

"Yes, and the souls of everyone that died when your father's Divine Realm was shattered were rescued and then reincarnated into the many people of the moons we take care of," said Iris with a smile.

"Ooh, that's great," Eleanora smiled a bit. "Hmm, but this place seems very relaxed and calm, right?"

"It is unnervingly calm..." Noah couldn't really keep calm at all. "So what is our purpose here? There's a System Construct in charge of this Dimensional Dungeon, they even got a System to help them, so this has to be of a much higher level than even Abyss. Now tell us the purpose, System."

After a few moments of silence and the weird stares of citizens passing by who looked at Noah with weird faces, suddenly...

[The {Endless Weaver of Dimensions} seems pleased there are more guests.]

[The {Butterfly of Seven Colored Wings} smiles, looking forward to this entertainment.]

[The {Corrupted King Of All Evil} is surprised of your appearance, Son of Azathoth.]

"These are... more Constellations?" Noah wondered. "Hm, you must be the ones behind this,

huh?"

He smiled, gripping his fists tightly.

"Don't worry, I'll get this done. And once I do... You're all dead."

[The {Boy That Wanders Through Worlds} desires normalcy.]

Noah's eyes squinted, glancing at the last message.

Unlike the rest, who seemed to have their own agendas, or mocked him, this one was

indifferent.

And then, another message appeared, this was big enough for his entire family to see.

[The {Fragmented Dimensional Realm Dungeon}: {Distorted Palace of Memories That Leads To The Azure Staircase: Act I: Supernatural Japan School Life} is in motion.]

[To progress through this Dungeon any further, please find the "Key" hidden within the {Heart of Memories}.]

[While you're inside of this Dungeon, you and any of your allies that access this Dimension will be under the Authority of {The Boy That Wanders Through Worlds}. Your Abilities, Divinities, and Cosmic Powers will be restricted into a Human Body.]

[Additionally, each person will be given a {Character Background} related to Tokyo High School as students, professors, janitors, and more. You will be therefore restricted by your {Character Background} in what you can do and say.]

[If you try to break out of character and impact negatively your surroundings directly, you will

receive a penalty.]

[The more time you spend within this Dimensional Dungeon, the more your mind will be assimilated, and you will lose your memories, becoming more and more like a part of this

world.]

[Character Background Assimilation Rate: 0% ->1%]

[Once you reach 100% assimilation, you will become the Character you're representing.]

"Supernatural... Japan School Life?"

Noah squinted his eyes, full of disbelief over such a cringe title!

"This can't be true..."

Even Iris couldn't believe it.

"Wow, this sounds fun!"

Dante was, however, looking forward to it.

"Hm, yeah, I can't wait."

Eleanora was also looking forward to it.

The two children were much younger, and were excited for new experiences, although their parents, who were very old, couldn't help but cringe to death.

"There's... no objective either?" Iris wondered. "So we're stuck here trying to figure out where

the key is?"

"No, I think we've been given enough clues," Noah said. "Let's go to this High School. This Constellation, and the Key to all of this, are all within that building."
