Chapter: 15, Changed Story
The entire cave turned silent. All of them looked at each other; at last Effie broke the silence and said with mischief.
"So~ shall we take advantage of our soon to be husband?"
Kai being honest ignored her and said "sunny, I guess I am willing to follow you all. I mean he is much more handsome than I thought. His face is on par with that of saints I met before."
"Yes, it is. He is much more handsome than I thought. I can say he is almost as good-looking as Fang." A voice came from behind, the woman said as her crimson eyes looked at them with a slight smile.
"Is this the person, for whom, you threatened me to destroy it if I don't meet him? You know that my family is still a great family right?" She said, but she was also confused about something going on in her heart.
The feeling of something she never felt washed over her and drowned her, but kept a straight face on the outside.
"Seishan, you know that I won't change my mind. And don't say that you don't have stirrings in your heart." Sunny replied.
Seishan coughed a little and said changing the topic "So, what is going to be our next step?"
Sunny silently thought for a moment before saying "The two Shard memories are missing, likely acquired by Mark. With them, we have all the shard memories.
"What we have to do now is to kill Gunlaug and his subordinates. Then lead the Dreamer Army to Conquer the Crimson Spire.
Also, before leaving, we have to make sure that one of the traitors becomes host to the Crimson Spire. We'll choose Caster as the Host. And after becoming awakened, we'll plan our next steps."
She finished with that. The plan was solid and one thing was known to everyone, Mark will not be involved in any of these. They are going to prioritize sending him to the Waking world first, making sure he survives.

Mark again opened his eyes in the familiar surroundings of the cave. The light from the fire nearby dimly illuminated the surroundings.
He sat up and again looked around, totally confused.
When reality kicked him, he grabbed his head, totally baffled by the current circumstances. He couldn't believe that all of the main cast have become Woman, now he is even wondering if that crazy bastard has also turned into a woman.
No, not turned into, born as women. They were born as girls in this world, so they wouldn't understand his shock. Even now, they might think he was knocked unconscious because of another injury.
Now that Mark knows that all of them are now girls, completely out of his imagination of course, what would be his next steps?
What can he do now? He definitely wants to survive. But to survive, he needs to be strong, strong enough to completely eradicate Corruption from this world and become the strongest Existence In this World.
He needs to be strong enough to protect those he loves, and without Strength, it is impossible.
With determined Eyes, Mark Decided, he would go all out from now on. He would make sure he becomes the strongest and rules over everything, Divine or Profane, Mortal or Gods, Alive or the Dead,
'He will become strong enough to rule over everything alone.'
"Oh, you're awake. Are you okay? There shouldn't be any Injury since Nephis used her flames to heal you. But tell me if you're uncomfortable anywhere." A voice distracted him from his train of thoughts.
He looked toward the voice, only to find Sunny in the puppeteers shroud looking at him with a concerned look.
The light emitted by the fire illuminated her, giving her a beautiful look that was somehow comparable to Kai. Also, she was taller than he expected. Her height almost reached Nephis, only falling short by a few inches.
She got close to him and placed her soft hand on his forehead, getting her chest a bit too close to Mark's. Mark quickly looked away and said with a light cough "You shouldn't get too close, you know."
Sunny with a smile asked him "Do you hate it?"
Mark, who was coughing lightly until now, started coughing violently. After calming down he explained "It's not like that. It's just that, I have already promised to be with someone and I can't break that promise."
Sunny said with her smile still intact "Oh, why don't you enjoy your freedom for the last time before tying the knot? I mean, many people have done it, after all." As she said this, her hand touched Mark's chest before it slowly moved from his waist to his lower 'part'.
Mark stopped her hand and asked aggrievedly "What do you think you are doing? I am not that kind of person."
Sunny didn't change her face and said making Mark speechless "it's Rain, right? My Sister"
"What!" Mark exclaimed.
"Rain, My Sister, who you promised to be with. Am I right?" She replied.
"How did you know?" He asked.
Sunny replied, still maintaining that smile "It's simple, really." Then she said the words that made him shocked again
"I was the one who asked your parents to adopt her. And I already know about you confessing your feelings to her. Although I'm jealous because it wasn't me, but still I am happy for her"
Mark stayed silent, contemplating her words deeply. If she told his parents to adopt Rain, doesn't that mean she knew his parents beforehand? So why didn't the original owner know about any of this?
The Gender Change is something he can accept, since it is because of the timeline change. But why is the story not going according to the Novel?
And since Mark is getting shocked too many times, Sunny decided to end it with one final piece of news, which is shocking only to Mark…
"Oh, and I just built the prototype of your harem, now all you need to do is claim it. Just say my True Name and you can have me, Rain, Nephis, Cassie and every other girl that are as beautiful and gorgeous as us as you own.
"You will own us, become our Husband… Our Master…"
