Chapter 141: The Free Daniel
For the first time since stepping through the Stargate, Daniel felt a strange, almost forgotten sensation, peace.
The past few days had been a blur of intense survival, relentless combat, and overwhelming power surges, each one pushing the limits of his understanding of reality.
Now, there was only the quiet hum of the advanced Academy, the distant murmur of a thriving civilian population, and the luxurious comfort of his new home.
The private villa Vice-Principal Aslaug Winnick had gifted him was less a house and more a small, self-contained fortress of luxury.
It was a multi-story building made of sleek white metal and smart glass, set in a quiet grove of glowing alien trees, with a stunning view of the entire resting platform.
It included an auto-chef, a fully stocked pantry with real food, a zero-gravity meditation chamber, and to Ayra’s delight, a private training room with reinforced walls said to withstand minor artillery fire.
"This is it! I’m never leaving!" Ayra had declared upon seeing the training room, her S-Grade Crystal Gloves already gleaming with anticipation.
"Vance, this room is mine! I’ll even let you use it on weekends if you’re nice."
She immediately began testing the walls with a series of increasingly powerful punches that made the entire villa hum ominously.
Lia, with her usual serene grace, had simply wandered through the villa’s lush indoor garden, her A-Grade Staff of the World Ash pulsing with a gentle emerald light as she communed with the exotic plant life.
Olenna, had immediately claimed the spacious office overlooking the Styx River, her mind already buzzing with plans to turn her newfound wealth and connections into a powerful information network.
