As Much as the being in front of them was Greed, it was clear that this was no longer the same person. The title of Greed had exasperated the thing he had let guide his life for too long. So much so that it had consumed him.


    "So many years I was not even myself. So many years it was like living in a fog." The very fog that was all around them seemed to shift at this. There was a silent but saddening air around them. Mourning the lost chances.


    "I can''t even tell you how I was living. How I was acting. I can''t remember it all, just the desire to take for myself."


    " Was that really some title then? Did the world actually reward you?" Ventus had been contemting this for some time. She was sure that the world had actually cursed him. "You say that the world gave you a title, but was that not a curse? Were you not cursed?"


    "I wish it was a curse. I would be the same as the demon lord. Cursed to forsake his humanity and be a demonic monster that only cares for power. The power to control the world as he sees fit. That is what drives the one that became my possession at one point. That could walk around even though I constantly took mana from him."


    The shocking words were enough to make everyone want to jump up. They had not received such specific information about the demon king at all. This was something that showed off the power he truly had over many.


    "So the demon king has the power to resist a title that made us so weak…" Remey''s voice trailed off as she felt a pit in her stomach. However, it was soon being filled with fiery anger. The mes of desire to be strong enough tobat such an existence that had the goal to harm others.


    "We won''t be letting him control anything. Whether you had a title or a curse, you are different now. You will make what you have done right then you will be able to help us fight that demon king. If it was a title, then the world would not do so for no reason." Since Su felt that the world was always looking out for the best of all within it, Su felt that there were hidden meanings in the Greed title.


    "I agree. The title I had showed me the worst of myself. I was too weak to control myself and caused harm to the very ce I came in to existence in. the slumbering forest doesn''t even exist on this ne of existence after I damaged it. Now it lives within the in between of spaces. That is the price for my sin. I ept that I lost many years to it. Now I will fix that."


    The fog started to swirl around all of them. It seemed that there was less and less they could hear of Sandman''s rambling. The dream walker was losing the ability to hold them in his dream. It wasn''t that he was trying to send them away, but Walker could tell it was ack of mana. The person named Greed was gone, and with it, the mana he stole. Now he was the same as everyone else, his mana was limited.


    Jolting awake, Walker found everyone else on the ground awakening too. He also saw that the sands had be a bed of golden sand. A perfect ce for Sandman to rest and recover. The crystal that was the dormant grand water spirit Luna also sat upon a sand pedestal.


    ''The world has found the missing spirit. Nature turns as intended.''


    The shift in mana was as if a lock hade undone. Walker felt a flow return brilliantly. The feeling that he had before when they had the meeting for grand elemental spirits was nothingpared to this. That inparison was clearly missing something.


    While this happened, Walker could feel a change in the system. It was as if he was looking at something different. The way the world appraised them seemed to be shifting. It wasn''t clear what was changing but deep in his soul, Walker knew.


    Adding to this, he suddenly felt rity. The kind of rity that most people would have when a specific thing was finally understood after studying for a long time.


    ''The united races have appeased the world''s will. The world grantsnguage upon all.''


    This notification went through the entire world. Every single living being found thatnguage had blossomed in their minds. No longer did the walls of different spokennguages burden them. They could understand what others were saying.


    The draconguage that was incredibly hard to speak was not able to be spoken by others. However, it could be understood, read, and even written to a degree. This change was one example of the world''s will. A uniting of the races was more than what anyone expected but it was a major change.


    Not only would this improve how everyone grew and came together, it would change how other races looked at one another. Thenguages that gave power to words would be able to learn theirnguage and use their words still. But they would also be able to get theirmunication across to others without using that power in those words. It was a massive bridge for all that came in to contact with each other.


    "I can not believe this lower being. Forced me to dream and speak to them. I was even treated as younger and lesser." Rise was the first to speak her mind. But Terron was the next to show his distaste.


    "Speak down to you? I was forced in to a world of fog. I could not say a word. I could not fly. I could not sense the earth!" The ground seemed to shake a little as Terron yelled. His shouts made everyone realize that he had truly been angered.


    "You are all missing one thing. That being. That dream walker that calls himself Sandman, is much older than you or any of us. He is clearly a being made of the world. A being that embodies a single purpose that had strayed from that purpose. The word itself recognizes them. Do not attempt to get revenge. It''s clear that he could do much worse than speak down to you or put you in a dream of fog." The intuition that Ventus had was not unfounded.


    "So you remember those stories as well. Those that the world recognizes as gods. The ones with systems so unique that they might not even be systems anymore. They be who the person is. The ideals and value that do not require the input of the world because they embody an aspect of the world, and potentially of more." Ignus''s calm demeanor was shocking enough. Yet , Walker knew he was correct.


    "So all that and here we are. Greed is not really Greed anymore. He is some powerful demon or maybe not even a demon? Whatever, he is Sandman now a dream walker from a ce called the slumbering forest that might or might not exist anymore." Gil looked fairly stressed. He had a lot of questions but would be getting little to no answers anytime soon.


    "All I know is that he deserves a solid punch to the face as payment for what he did. I was knocked out on the ground twice by him!" The frustration that Remey held also held a relieved breath. She was d that nothing bad had happened again and that Genesis was not in danger.


    "I am more interested in what the world changed. I feel that I have be closer to the world. That the system is less important than what I knew before. That it is less something I will find randomly but something that-" Su was cut off by the world.


    ''Millennia have passed by as hands of the world has guided the growth of man. No longer shall you search out your destinies. The hands that guide shall offer paths.''


    As much as all of them wanted to say they had no idea what the world meant, Walker could feel that he did know. "The world changed things so that systems aren''t random anymore. People will get quests to guide them toward the systems they are best at now!" He could feel it. Deep within him. This was the change. This was what had been altered to make the world better.


    "That means the world saw what we have done. It not only gave those without systems a chance at systems but now will guide everyone born right away." Su spoke again with a few small tears in her eyes. This was a day to be celebrated.
