"Wake up you cretin!"
"Uughh. Ouch! Stop biting me!" Wilson complained.
"Thank the Universal Slime for not killing you by putting you in a deadly dimension." Princess Ginger Alissa Conley said.
"I'm not dead? I'm still in a dream? It doesn't feel like a dream?"

"I'm really still in a dream, and apparently I'm a werewolf now."
Wilson looked at his side and he saw a woman, and not just any woman. This woman looked like she was about 19-24, had dog ears, and was dressed in imperial robes looking very regal. "Who are you, young miss?"
"What do you mean who am I? It is I, Princess Ginger Alissa Conley! Do you lowly human not have eyes?" she puffed.
"Woah. You were a dog! A robot one at that!"
"You merely saw my manifestation in that wretched lady's domain."
"Wretched lady? Do you mean Virgil? Yeah, she does seem wretched, I don't even know anything anymore."
"Listen here you maggot of a lifeform. You are not dreaming. You transmigrated in an entirely different world, in a different dimension."
"That does seem like a better explanation than 'being chosen blah blah blah', I don't trust anything anyone says anymore though. But I'm stuck with you so I'll just let it be."
"You little!"
Wilson's words really rile up Princess Ginger Alissa Conley.
"So where are we?"
"We seem to be in one of the regions of Conley Grand Empire. We're in the 4th dimension. You have to be careful of your actions, somewhere in a different 3D projection of another world, you and I are talking as well. It can be confusing when the consciousness of the two planes are merging."
"I don't really understand anything you just said." Wilson honestly said.
"Think of it as two entirely different worlds experiencing the same thing, with minor differences."
"So you say that I can affect the other world with my actions here?"
"You are not so stupid, lowly human." Princess Ginger Alissa Conley said.
"I'm a werewolf in this 'reality'. Funky huh?"
"WHAT! You must be jesting! Foolish human, werewolves are the royalty in this dimension, you can not be a werewolf, you are just a maggot!" Princess Ginger Alissa Conley was surprised, then confused, then angry.
"But I really am! My status says so!"
"What status? You have no status in this domain! You're only a lowly human."
"I mean, status of my character or self. Not status as in royalty. You won't understand. You're just an NPC."
"I know what an NPC is. I'm not an NPC, you wretched being! This is not a game."
"But I really do have a game-like status."
"You must be blessed then. Not all transmigrators get to be given a special system wherein they can see their 'status', you must have the lowest of statuses as you look very shabby, you pathetic human."
"If not for your sword and mask, which you definitely don't deserve, you're just a nobody." Princess Ginger Alissa Conley mocked Wilson.
"So these things are valuable huh?" Wilson said, his eyes glittering.
"You better not have strange thoughts, boy." Musashi Masamune threateningly said.
"You'd be a fool to think of selling us." the Ancient Noh Mask said.
"No, no, no. You're all my valuable items now, my friends!" Wilson exclaimed.
Truthfully, Wilson still can't believe what's happening to him. But he was not someone who can't accept what was already in front of him, so he looked calm on the outside, but his mind was already calculating so far ahead. He didn't like his odds that much.
His status doesn't say 'Real Self' anymore, so he's a bit relieved and assumes that if he dies here, he won't die in the waking world. He still partly thinks that this is all a dream but he also can feel it in his bones that this is not just any normal dream. He can literally feel everything in this new world, even his heart beating like the drums of an EDM song. He chose to accept that he was now, in fact, living the dream.
He's starting to get used to his new reality, and with it, some new sensibility came over him. He started to treat this world as a game.
"Like any gamer of note, I should check my items first."
"Status"
"Items"
[Musashi Masamune
ATTACK +1000
Special Effect: Cursed Sword (bound to the user)
Ceremonial Distinction (when used to confer titles to subordinates, +100 loyalty
Soul Rend (when landing a killing blow, destroys every other manifestation of the enemy in the entire multiverse)
A masterpiece of one of Earth's greatest swordsmiths, Goro Nyudo Masamune. Imbued with the spirits of thousands of felled warriors. Once wielded by the legendary swordsman Musashi Miyamoto. Contains a deep power within. (redacted)]
"This sword is top tier!" Wilson laughed.
"I can feel that you won't be able to wield me properly, boy. Best if you don't try or you might regret it in the long run." Musashi Masamune proudly said.
[Ancient Noh Mask
SPIRIT +1000
Special Effect: Illusory Face (allows user to change facial appearance at will)
Mask Form (allows user to create any kind of mask at will)
Intimidating Stare (user attacks enemy's spirit, dealing an immense psychological blow)
An oddity of the Earth. Once was a tribal mask that gained sentience. Used to possess its owner, it then developed some sophistication and made its mission to 'guide' its owner. Changes form as it changes hands. Last used by a Japanese politician who has a hobby of acting at a traditional noh theater.]
"So I can change your form, Noh Mask?"
"You can, but be careful of what you choose. My powers are affected by the image of the mask." Ancient Noh Mask said.
Wilson willed the Ancient Noh Mask to change into something that he remembers and was more culturally linked to him. He imagined an Igorot Demon Dragon Tribal Mask. Ancient Noh Mask changed into a wooden mask that looks ferociously like a demon and a dragon mixed together.
"Now that's more like it." Wilson said.
"What do you want to call me now?" Ancient Noh Mask asked.
"Demon Dragon Mask."
"A cursed name. You will see the effects of your choice as you wield me." Demon Dragon Mask said.
As Wilson was about to check the other items in his red bag, Princess Ginger Alissa Conley brought him back to reality. "How long are you going to stare at your toys? We should get moving, lowly human."
"Where are we going, princess?"
"So now you acknowledge my greatness, human?"
"I try my best to be close with the people I'm in close proximity with."
"Very well, we are going to this region's capital, human."
"Alright, let's go!"
In a different 3D projection of another world, Princess Ginger Alissa Conley saw the changed Demon Dragon Mask and predicted the storm that will befall her Conley Grand Empire, so she stole it from Wilson, and killed him. She also took Musashi Masamune and the Red Kingdom Multidimensional Bag.
"I feel kind of weird, like I lost something." Wilson said.
"Maybe your other self lost something in a different 3D projection of another world, a very normal occurrence in the 4th dimension." Princess Ginger Alissa Conley said.
"If you say so. Heh. maybe I died there? You probably got so pissed at me and killed me."
"Watch your words, human. Thoughts like that are very strong in the 4th dimension, do not wish for something that you do not want to happen."
"Okay, okay. I was just kidding. Chill, princess."
"There is no time for jokes in the 4th dimension, human."
Wilson Weeks and Princess Ginger Alissa Conley continued their journey to the capital of this particular region of the Conley Grand Empire. They crossed a mountain, walked through multiple streams, and saw various hybrid animals like a rhinophant (a mix between a rhino and an elephant), a sneagle (a mix between a snake and an eagle), a crabbit (a mix between a crab and a rabbit), a dant (a mix between a dog and an ant), and a brat (a mix between a bull and a rat). Most of the hybrid animals were tame and a few looked at the pair with vigilant eyes. Since Princess Ginger Alissa Conley was a native of this dimension, she naturally had no difficulty in navigating the region.
Eventually, they reached an area that looks like a great metropolis. Wilson expected to see a very medieval-looking city but his expectations were shattered when he saw the most futuristic city he has ever seen. Towering buildings of various colors and designs, flying cars, and residents that looked as peaceful as a baby who, after crying for being born, finds out that he was born in a first-world country.
"I know where we are, human." Princess Ginger Alissa Conley said smugly.
"Princess!"
"It's the princess!"
"Oh, my Lords!"
"Welcome to the 2888th region of Conley Grand Empire, Pevia."
