Chapter 5 - Rangers

When the Rex family woke up they felt like they hadn't ate for days. They immediately went to the kitchen to eat, once they had their fill the family went to watch the news just as they expected the world was in a uproar.

The government and huge corporation were buying crystals for billions of dollars, one crystal cost 5 millon dollars. Some people were brutally killed in zoa, and didn't want to return. Alot of people sold their equipment.

Even though you couldn't bring your items into the real world, as long a you verbally agreed to sell it wether online or over the phone when you returned your weapon would be gone and in possession of the person you sold it to. The only thing that comes back with you is your powers and abilities.

If you chose to serve someone in this world than the next time you entered zoa you would be in their village.

Some people had a version of Soren's of Soren's power which allowed them to see the layout of the land but not actual people. their power couldn't actually compare because eventually he would be able to heal people far away as well.

So far only two girls had sorens limited omnipresent ability which they were using to find crystals that landed in areas where no one had found them. One girl was in china where the government paid her to find the crystals but, they couldn't force her because she could teleport instantly within a 500 kilometer radius she alreadya found around ,5000 crystals a Nigerian girl founded her own corporation after she used her power to find 10000 crystals and made 50 billion dollars.

You couldn't kill to get crystals if the person owned the crystal. if the crystal was blue it would be destroyed when its owner died in this world. The crystal has to be given without being under duress. Thousands of people had to die for that discovery to be made. people eventually found out they weren't dead just stuck in zoa, if they die in zoa then they're dead for real so most of them became hobos sleeping on the curb of the major cities of the regions they were in because they were afraid to die.

Governments bought a lot security to protect against magic because it was the only thing you couldn't buy, but you could buy the people who had magic. Scientists calculated that a little over 1 billion people had an active crystal, but only around 5 million passed the test and even then 3 million only passed by ignoring their fear, the other 2 million was split in half.

Scientists estimated that with the size of each meteorite and the size of each crystal there should be 1billion more crystals scattered across the world.

Many people sold their crystals for a year and some months of being rich and gave their loyalty to the organization that made them rich and they believed they would be able to become nobles when they were there or at least get an easy job for their contribution.

Craven laughed at these people he wondered what their faces would look like when his or someone else's army showed up at his door, alot of people wished to build an empire and, you can make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Craven was scrolling through a forum when he saw that some people actually got there ancestors memories. It seems that you can only obtain their memories if you have similar ideologies as them.

Eventually Soren spoke with a smug smile " guys there are 20000 crystals in my range and need i your help to get them. they all stood up ready to do a technique that allows one person to siphon magic from a willing being to temporarily advance their power to the next stage raga had taught the family how to do it they all held hands and allowed mana to flow through them into Soren and he focused on the crystals, and after two minutes twenty thousand crystals appeared inside the house.

They had to activate each crystal to prevent them from being stolen but, right after they finished they went to the most popular crystal site in the US because it was cheaper to sell nationally but, a lot of countries tried to stop crystals from leaving beyond their borders to strengthen their enemies.

The site they went to was called crystal club they took 1 million from every sell. Within an hour they sold all seventeen thousand of them. They decided to keep three thousand for people they could train

Liam felt like he was betraying his country and he was but what kind of parent doesn't want their sons and daughters to be kings and queens to rule a country is the greatest achievement one can have wether through force or through vote. Liam felt torn between his country and his kids but he would always choose his kids and no matter what he would make sure they stand at the top of Zoa's food chain.

Craven went back online and spread setka's name around apparently there were very few mentions about this world's gods and even less so in detail only 4 intrested Craven they didn't wholly believe in setka's philosophy but they all loved to fight and live in the moment and they were all Rangers.

The group consisted of two girls and two boys and they formed a group chat were they all spoke orcish since it was the easiest of the dark races to speak and they were all from different countries. all of them passed the test but they didn't have a legacy so they got legendary equipment.

Craven invited them all and their families over since he had the money to pay for their ticket and stay. Craven loved speed and agility even Raga was fast despite being so large if he wasn't Craven would've just left him to his father. what Craven didn't know was that this was the formation of the legendary ranger squad that would touch the heaven's
