Arpious of the Planes-Chapter 489 Portals And Arrival
Finally, on Saturday and Sunday, I would go visit Ysal on the Plane of the Rising Sun, which I had no clue was its name because apparently it had been renamed.
The previous one probably involved the sun drakes and demons in conflict, but now that the demons are practically all gone, I guess it was time to rename it.
"Alright… I guess it's Saturday now," I lightly muttered before kissing and hugging my wives goodbye.
They gave me a few punches on the shoulder to assure me that I would come back, and I made sure to promise them with a thousand more kisses.
"Love you," I smiled before disappearing into what seemed to be a black void.
Well, it was more of a black plane with a shimmering white sun floating above me, producing absolutely no heat.
I was freezing my ass off, but the thing that caught my attention more than the strange world I appeared in was four portals right in front of me. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
They were labeled with floating white words above them, all saying the name of their planes.
One was a green plane with all kinds of vegetation sprouting off of the portal frame, sort of expanding onto the solid void below.
"[Plane of Twilight]… ah, I can't wait… but, I must follow this schedule…." I muttered before turning to the next one, which was gray and had various skeletons and dead shrubs sprouting off it.
Its lifeless nature began to spread to the solid void below, painting it a dim gray, allowing not even the slightest bit of light to reflect off of it.
"[Dead Plane One]," I muttered and only looked at this for just a couple of seconds since remembering all the struggles I went through was not the best for my mental health.
I was trying to forget about my time there… but here I am, faced with the option to enter the plane once again.
"But of course, that's an immediate no,"
I then shifted my eyes to the next plane, which had a white portal lined with all kinds of icy creatures and a snowy texture running around its frame.
Ornaments made of ice hung off of it, almost as if trying to welcome me back home.
"[Plane of Ancient Frost]... I wonder when the name will change," I muttered to myself before shifting my eyes over to my destination. "[Plane of The Rising Sun],"
It was brimming with golden lights and had the texture of sun dragon scales lining the portal frame.
Various glowing ornaments and vegetation emitted from it, with one of the trees having a solid bark trunk, but the leaves had been replaced with balls of light.
It was a beautiful entrance to go visit my wife… and as I walked in, the sensation of my guts jumbling around inside of me was unpleasant. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
And just like that… I found myself skydiving through the air, looking down at the expansive capital, which had increased in size by at least tenfold.
It looked as if it traveled endlessly from my aerial view, but the reason I could tell this was the capital was that… well,
"That's a massive fucking place,"
The palace looked to be about 500,000 square meters, and the tallest point just barely scraped the clouds.
If I had appeared on this plane not too far from where I was, I would've been pierced through the chest and forced to slide all the way down the massive spike and call for help.
"I wonder what the time difference here is… or is there a time difference at all? All of my information is from Paimon, so there could be some information that I wasn't aware is fake," I muttered before nose-diving into the middle of a town square.
For now, I just wanted to explore this new place since it seemed the houses had been built in a more modern fashion.
They used less wood and stone and more marble and stronger materials that you could find on this plane that not only provided more support but also looked way better.
"IDENTIFY YOURSELF!"
As I got up from the stone crater, I looked around but soon found two spears pointed right at my throat, ready to slash it at a moment's notice.
Two sun drake guards made me identify myself since, of course, I did not look like a sun drake… or so I thought.
"Sorry, I guess you haven't seen my race around here before-"
"WHY WERE YOU FLYING UNAUTHORIZED IN THE AIR?! DO YOU HAVE A LICENSE THAT WE CAN SEE?!" They both screamed into my face, slightly annoying me, but I calmly answered their questions.
I was brought into the equivalent of a police station and was questioned endlessly, only being released upon being fined a few silver coins.
It was a good thing I brought some currency with me; otherwise, I would've ended up in jail already…
I wasn't planning on pulling my queen card anytime soon since I wanted to experience daily life here in a genuine flow.
Having some fake experiences wasn't the best for learning the adapted culture… since not only did I see elves roaming the streets, but even some demons who walked peacefully.
From what I know, the surviving demons were turned into slaves, but during the time I was gone, somebody must've changed the law so they could walk freely… though the number of guards had exponentially increased.
This meant crime was a given due to clashing races with elves most likely taking the side of the sun drakes, but besides that, everything was bright and beautiful.
The streets were clean and glimmered with happiness from each corner of the momentous occasion of various races living in peace together… mostly.
But my next objective was to see what the adventurer guild was like and when I appeared before it, my jaw practically dropped to the ground.
The massive marble and quartz building with towering pillars and a dozen floors stood before me.
"Why is this place so massive?"
