"You did it." Ayden was shocked, as he appeared before Mark "You really did it. I thought it would take you at least a week to enter the domain of the Darkness Element, but you did it within hours."
"A week?" Mark scoffed, "Who the hell do you think I am? Within a week, I can master Time Element, forget Darkness Element."
"Hah, Time element, you really think too much of yourself." Ayden scoffed in return, "The only reason you were able to enter the domain of the Darkness Element is because of the Grade-D affinity you have towards the darkness. Plus, being Ratrijita once upon a time, because of which your body remembers being part of the Darkness element. Otherwise, forget a week, even a year would've been a big deal for you to learn one of the three great elements."
"One of the three great elements?" Mark asked in curiosity, ignoring all the other parts of Ayden's statement.
"Time, space, and darkness are called the three great elements in the tower." Ayden explained, "Darkness covers 90% plus part of the tower, while time and space cover close to 99.99% part, making these three elements most difficult to learn. The more coverage area the element has, the harder it is to master. That is why Force is the easiest element to learn, while time is the most difficult."
"Coverage area?" Mark spoke, "Shouldn't it be because of the multidimensional thing and all?"
"That is all there." Ayden replied, "But here in the tower, coverage area is the main attribute. The more one element covers the tower, the greater the chances of saving oneself and killing others are, and the more difficult they are to control and learn. Knowing and learning are the beginning part, but controlling is the main part. The more control you have over an element, the higher the killing and saving chances you will have. That is why another option must've been made in your status panel called 'Elemental Control'. Check it."
And promptly, Mark complied and opened his status panel.

Elemental Control: Darkness (D- Grade).
And certainly, another option had come on his status panel, but seeing the D- made him look at Ayden, who understood what he wanted to ask and spoke, "Elemental control starts from Grade D- to S. There are three level in each category to show how much control you have on each grade i.e., D-, D, and D+. After you have gotten complete control of one particular grade, you will rise to the next grade, which is C-, then so on and so on and so on, until you have achieved complete mastery over the element. At that point, you will reach the S Grade. There is an S+ grade too, according to the legends, but no one has achieved it, so it is considered a myth."
"So if it is a myth, then it must be there. Don't worry, I will achieve it and show you the myth coming to life." Mark stated with full confidence.
But seeing his confidence, Ayden only said, "Just achieve S Grade Control in Darkness Attribute, and I will be grateful enough."
Smiling, Mark looked at his remaining days, which had fallen from 47,151 to 47,049.
He bought 'Fruit of Peaceful Death' to save himself and his family the agony of resurrection that other creatures of this world were going through.
While 2 days were subtracted because of his stay at the Safety Zone, and thus, the 47,049 days were remaining, which were a lot, so he wasn't worried.
“Okay, it’s enough for today. I learned the darkness domain. Got my usual power back. Defeated Ratrijitas in their own world. What more can I ask for, no? Let’s go.” Mark smiled as he looked at Ayden, who simply rolled his eyes at his boasting, but not caring, he simply clicked his finger.
And when both of them reappeared, they were in a villa, instead of the spaceship where Colby and others were still going through death from laughter.
This villa was specially built with Oscar's imagination, who liked aesthetics more than anything.
So he created this villa, while everyone just accepted living here.
Why not?
There was no price to pay after all, while all the facilities were present.
There were ten bedrooms each on all seven floors of the villa, while study rooms, movie theatres, playrooms, game rooms, exercise rooms, and all were separated, and were present on each floor too.
Smiling, Mark looked at his parents, who were watching a gore action movie. They understood the reality of this world, and through these movies, they were slowly changing their perception.
Ayden was the one who told them this way to get used to this world, and they accepted this simplest method.
While donning the headset, Anna was playing a game.
Which?
He had no idea, but by looking at her exaggerated moves, he was sure it must be a bloody action game too.
While Oscar was the simplest of all, he was interested in creating different architecture or designs through his imagination.
So new figures keep appearing in front of him, and going through them intently, he was putting them in his personal underground museum, which he built for himself.
And that was how his entire family was going through this world and getting used to it.
Not knowing what the Safety Zone outside of their imaginary world was like, they wanted to get used to everything beforehand and then slowly explore the true heaven of this world.
So staying together was the best plan for now, and they all decided affirmatively on that decision.
