Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

"A laugh?" Talon squinted his eyes when he heard those words. It didn't even require him a split second to realize that something was very off with what they said.

"Yeah, he was laughing." The female student nodded her head. "Very loudly in fact. He seemed like he was having so much fun." She added.

"Yeah, now I remember, sir! I did hear it too."

Talon's eyes stared at the two silently for a few seconds before he looked at Acrypha. The latter had the same suspicious look on her face as he did if not more. Her expression told him everything he needed to know, so he shifted his eyes back to the two and asked.

"Can you describe the laugh for me in detail? Like how it sounded."

"Mmm, it was very loud as I said, it was also high-pitched and kind of weird now that I think about it. He sounded like he was unable to stop laughing." The female student said.

Talon sucked in a small breath when he heard that description as he finally closed his eyes. "Did the laugh slowly go from being normal to bizarre or did it immediately begin that way?"

When he asked that question, his wariness grew as he knew the answer and if they said the same thing, then he was seriously in a massive dilemma. A dilemma that only Acrypha can solve for him.

"Hmm, that's actually correct, it started normally and then shifted slowly to being weird. How did you know?" She asked.

'Fuck me…' Exhaling a long breath, Talon ran his hand through his hair before he looked up and smiled coldly. "Let's say I have a walking library following me 24/7." He said.

The two students looked at him and then at each other in confusion. They didn't understand what Talon meant.

"Anyway, thank you two for your help. It was truly tremendous." Talon stood up and shook their hands.

"Any time, sir! We would always be happy to help you and Miss President!" The male student beamed with happiness.

"I'm sure Hy- Ehem, the president will be happy with that too. Keep up the good work."

After that, the two students left as they whispered to each other secretly. Meanwhile, Talon's smile remained till the two were gone before it disappeared completely as he closed the door.

Turning around, he walked to the chair and threw himself on it with a tired look on his face. It wasn't even the middle of the day and he already felt like he consumed every ounce of energy in his body.

Staring at the ceiling in silence for a while, he finally spoke. "Care to explain?" He asked.

Acrypha remained silent till Talon had to look down at her. "Is it what I think it is?"

"It is apparently. That monster most likely affected that human." She replied.

"How? At the time, the integration hadn't even started yet, how did that monster appear?" He asked.

His problem wasn't the laughing monster, it was the fact that it seemingly appeared out of nowhere, way before the Core Dimension gate was summoned. That totally broke all the laws Acrypha told him about and more.

"I can't say for certain but I have heard of a case a long time ago where a world that wasn't integrated yet was accessed by someone. It was a rumor that I was dep- Ehem, that I heard of. But, I was never able to check its truthfulness."

"Access a dimension before its integration starts? How is that possible? Isn't the Core Dimension the sole one responsible for those gates and links between worlds?" Talon raised an eyebrow.

"As I said, it's not something I'm sure of yet. But, in some dimensions, very high ones, scientific achievements in Dimensionology reached levels far beyond what you can comprehend. They tried to tap into the realm of the Core Dimension and control it. Many tried actually, but for the longest time, it was one failure after the other.

That was until that rumor appeared that someone succeeded in creating a gate on their own." Acrypha explained.

"What about the ones that failed?" Talon asked.

"Naturally, the Core Dimension wasn't pleased with that and it punished them heavily. Most of them either died a gruesome death or turned into pathetic Dimension Walkers. That's why no one dares to defy the Core Dimension. The risk is simply too big."

Talon could only shudder when he heard those words. He already knew that the Core Dimension was the supreme entity above everything else. It ruled all dimensions with an arm of steel. Naturally, if it found a bunch of individuals trying to shake that control, it wouldn't spare them that easily.

'And yet some are still trying… I guess you can't kill the desire for freedom from people's hearts.' Talon thought to himself.

These people were clearly defying this sovereignty simply because they didn't want to be caged by the Core Dimension even if that granted them endless power.

"In any case, we aren't sure yet whether that's true or not. It could be what I just mentioned, or it could be simply a bizarre human with a weird laugh." Acrypha shrugged.

"I damn wish it is that. I don't even know what I will do at this point."

Talon knew that most likely, that wasn't just a coincidence. After all, the research center had many odd things about it that he couldn't understand. The laugh was simply a new one added to the list.

"Sigh…" Rubbing his temples, Talon felt his thoughts getting more and more chaotic the more time passed.

"I think I'm going to become an alcoholic at this rate." He murmured with a scoffed laugh.

"As you get stronger, your body will start detoxifying alcohol faster and you won't be able to get drunk with the low-quality drinks this world produces," Acrypha said.

"Thanks for telling me that I can't even do that!" Talon rolled his eyes.

"You're welcome, Mr. Charming." Acrypha smiled at him mischievously.

"Is that what you're going to call me from now on? Mr. Charming?"

"Maybe~"

"Where did that even come from, geez? I'm far from charming to ladies." He said as he shrugged.

Talon did date once before when he was still in middle school but it didn't work out well. Since then, he never really tried to get into another relationship. He was too busy with life to really have time for a partner.

"Hm, I think you're underestimating your charms."

'Very much.' Acrypha added in her head as she remembered the scene of Hyun-Jae wiping his naked body a few days ago.

"Huh? Do you even realize who you're talking to? I'm really bad with girls." Talon pointed at himself.

"If you're bad with girls, then most other males in this world are a lost cause," Acrypha replied mysteriously.

"Again with the mysterious answers, sigh."

"Haha, don't worry about it. Either way, you won't be able to find a woman since you're going to be mine. I do not share what belongs to me." Acrypha replied with a laugh.

Talon: "..."

The young man stared at the laughing beauty in front of him with wide eyes. Even her casual laughs sound like a divine melody in his ears. He didn't know if she realized what she said or not, but it was very close to a confession. Her words could've easily been misunderstood if Talon didn't know their context clearly.

'I'm sure she's joking. But… It still feels rather weird.' He thought to himself as he touched his chest.

As the two were like that, Talon heard a knock on the door. Turning his head away from Acrypha, he stood up and opened it, only to see someone familiar outside.

"Hyun-Jae? Everything ok?" Talon asked.

"Can I come inside for a moment?" The girl asked mysteriously.

Talon raised an eyebrow confusedly before he moved to the side. "Sure, go ahead."

Hyun-Jae nodded her head and walked inside with wary steps. Talon looked at her as he closed the door. "Is everything ok? I thought you said you were going to rest?" He asked.

The girl turned around to stare at him with some hesitance in her eyes. For some reason, she seemed conflicted about something that Talon didn't understand.

"Mm, I was intending to sleep. But, I couldn't sleep because of the noise coming from the other side."

"Oh, that's true. You're sleeping in a room close to the basketball yard."

Since there were hundreds of students inside the gymnasium, it was naturally noisy the entire time except for the night since everyone would be asleep. However, since Hyun-Jae didn't sleep last night, she had to take a nap now.

"Yeah…"

"So, what are you going to do about it?"

The girl looked even more conflicted for a second before she took in a small breath and said.

"Can I sleep here?"
