Supremacy...

While Leon's soul floated in the river of the Cosmos, his consciousness reappeared in front of Alaric, accompanied by Trixie, who was now in her birthday suit.

She playfully winked at Leon, waving her hand. "I knew you'd leave the Supreme Magus world after experiencing the Monster Integration world," she said with an amused smile. "The levels there were too low compared to the Monster Integration world."

"But why didn't you use my blessing?" Trixie asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"I never felt the need to," Leon shrugged. Her blessing allowed him to perfectly simulate anything, including creating a woman and having a fully realistic experience. It was essentially a manifestation of dreams.

Trixie pouted but said nothing, understanding that Leon was right.

Alaric then addressed Leon, interrupting Trixie. "We brought you here to discuss some rules now that you have two gods sponsoring you."

"First, since you still have two lives, it means we're essentially sponsoring two different individuals," Alaric explained.

"I'm sponsoring you, while Trixie is sponsoring the Leon from the Monster Integration world."

"However, since these two are essentially the same person, it gives us some flexibility. You can now choose which blessing to take with you to the next world," Alaric continued.

"I'll take yours," Leon replied, his heart racing with anticipation.

Alaric smiled, saying, "I knew you would. Now let me explain why I brought you here."

"You've seen the perks of my blessing, right?" he asked.

Leon nodded. The blessing provided him with his own dimension, where he could do anything, including creating false personas.

"Now that it's leveled up to the next tier," Alaric said, "you're about to experience Level 2 Dream Space."

"And that's why you're here," Alaric said. "Tell me what you want for this level-up."

Trixie gave Leon looks of betrayal, but he ignored her and focused on Alaric. "What are the options I can choose from?"

Alaric nodded and displayed a list. Many of the options weren't available due to the current level, but the available ones were impressive.

Leon examined the options and chose the one that made the most sense to him. "I'll take the Time Regulator."

Alaric nodded in approval. "The Time Regulator, at Level 1, allows you to adjust the time ratio up to 1:30. Good luck," he said, waving his hand. Leon vanished from the space, ready to continue his journey with his new blessing.

"Good for you," Trixie said, glancing at Alaric with a hint of irritation.

Alaric remained calm. "You have so many champions. Why bother with my one and only?"

Trixie looked at him and nodded. "Well, it's your fault. Who told you to become the God of Lucid Dreams? You knew it would result in fewer people becoming your champion."

Alaric, unfazed by the conversation, waved his hand, ending the call with Trixie. "I'm not interested in this bloodshed. If not for my own survival, I wouldn't have chosen a champion," he said before dismissing her.

Trixie, now unable to contact Alaric, looked frustrated for a moment. However, a sly smile soon spread across her face. She activated her Dream Simulation ability and created a copy of Leon.

The Leon copy looked at her and asked, "What can I do for you, Goddess?"

Trixie's smile widened as she directed him to remove his clothes. The room then filled with an air of tantalizing anticipation, and what unfolded next was something that made even the simulated Leon wish he were truly present rather than just a copy.

In a small, cozy room, the young boy sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and mumbled, "Hmm, I have arrived."

Leon looked around and saw he was in a modest but beautifully decorated room. "Once again in a normal family," he grumbled to himself, "Can't I just once be reincarnated into a wealthy family?"

He sighed and stood up, surveying the mirror to see how he looked in this new form.

"Not bad, but definitely a bit average," he muttered as he observed his reflection. The boy had black hair and dark eyes, with a skinny build suggesting he hadn't been well-fed. His long, unkempt hair added to the scruffy appearance.

"Hmm, to access his memories, I have to spin the gacha first," Leon mumbled to himself as he sat on the bed and spun the gacha.

The gacha began to spin, revealing the familiar mechanics Leon always encountered when entering a new world. As it slowed down, another gacha appeared, and as expected, it was a Golden Gacha.

Leon inspected the wall and read the name inside, feeling dumbfounded. "Rumuru Tempest!" he exclaimed in surprise. This wasn't just any Rumuru Tempest, but the one at Peak Level.

"And what does it mean by I can summon him?" he wondered aloud.

[System, explain?] he quickly asked.

[Host, remember that the first gacha will always level the playing field for you against the world's mechanics?] the system replied.

Leon understood that the system's response was an indirect answer to his question. As he spun the gacha again, he received a flood of memories. "Hiltons? And my name is Leon Gupta, an Indian-American guy. The guy whose body I'm inhabiting was killed and it was portrayed as suicide by feeding him pills."

"What a troublesome identity," Leon thought, contemplating the new situation.

"Still, I didn't see anything that makes this world particularly dangerous. Not to mention, this is as simple as Earth gets," Leon mused.

He decided to check the internet to gather more information. He browsed through history and other topics, only to find that everything seemed remarkably similar to his original Earth.

"Oh, it's the same. It's fucking identical to my original Earth," he concluded.

"Hmm, maybe that's why I was given Rumuru Tempest. She can literally create whole universes and even travel to others," Leon speculated.

Over the next few days, Leon continued to investigate, searching for any major changes or anomalies. His efforts were rewarded when, one day, someone intruded into his mind, adding some information before vanishing.

Leon lay on his bed, rubbing his temples in frustration.

"No wonder I was given Rimuru Tempest," he realized.

"I'm in the world of Supremacy Games," he thought, grasping the gravity of his situation.

"Hmm, but at least it's a known world," Leon mused, recalling that he had read about this world in a light novel by MidGard.

"It was a very cool novel with some new fantasies," he remembered. "Felix Maxwell was the name of the MC here, and his cheat was extremely powerful."

"But now I guess we're even," Leon thought as he looked at the card in his hand. It was a shimmering golden card depicting Rimuru Tempest—a beautiful lady. In this alternate version, she was born as a Slime Queen and had ascended to become a Cosmic Emperor True Dragon.

The image on the card showed a striking lady with long, dark purple hair and golden eyes, seated on a majestic throne, embodying her true queenly essence.

"now what to do, Summon her or take her powers" Leon thought and decided to summon her.

"I still have my ten-year gacha, after all," Leon mumbled as he broke the card.

Light flashed around him, but then... nothing happened.

"Hmm, where is she?" Leon wondered aloud.

Suddenly, he felt something on his shoulder. Looking over, he saw a small purple blob sitting there.

"Huh? Are you Rimuru?" he asked, carefully picking up the purplish blob in his hand.

The blob suddenly melted and seeped into his skin.

"I am," a voice echoed in his mind, confirming Rimuru's presence.
