Chapter One Hundred and Five
Deep within the void where the Mythic Skyhold hovered, Crow's undead legions swarmed like worker drones—thousands of skeletal engineers, ghostly architects, and undead titans heaving impossibly massive crystal beams into place.
Each piece of the Skyhold had to be forged with divine materials. And thanks to Crow's foresight, he already had mountains of them stored inside his Pocket Dimension.
"Progress: 3% — Estimated Time to Completion: 24 hours."
Crow stood on a floating platform above the central construction chamber, his robes fluttering in the spiritual wind. Below him, spectral cranes lifted entire towers while skeletal mages carved divine runes into walls that would soon pulse with world-bending power.
He opened his Command Interface, watching progress.
Undead Labor Force:
14,000 Goblin Skeletons 130 Goblin Mages 1 Ice & Thunder Dragon 1 Eclipse Dragon of the Endless Skies Bone Wyrm Excavators (x50) Divine Rank Workmaster: Gravewright Belzor
Crow's eyes gleamed as he tapped a screen and redirected the Bone Wyrms to reinforce the Skyhold's dimensional anchor—a core chamber that would allow the fortress to exist across multiple realms.
Suddenly, the system pinged.
[Update Notice: "Reality Sync Phase I" begins in 360 days.]
Reminder: Player progress will carry over into real-world fusion.
Tip: Large-scale structures will grant Realm Control Bonuses.
Crow smirked.
"The real world's not ready for this. When it merges… I won't just be a player. I'll be a god."
He turned toward a secondary screen. A long list of names scrolled—his divine units, heroes, and elite ranks—all currently out gathering resources, completing hidden quests, or training.
But now, he issued a global command.
"Prepare to return in 24 hours. When the Skyhold activates, we ascend."
As the undead continued their perfect, tireless construction, the stars above slowly dimmed—eclipsed by a fortress no god had ever touched.
