For the last fifteen days, Xia was just baking bread. She already perfected pandesal but to her surprised it was not listed on the holographic window.
She was just eating pandesal with egg, either scrambled, sunny side or hard-boiled. "Xia, It would be better if you search for sustainable resources such as egg-laying or milk-producing animal. You may also procure seeds and plant it in the house farm. Xia nodded then look at the pandesal and sigh. She pondered about what Yue just said, it is halfway through 30 days. She needs to do something about her food resources or she will get hungry after 30 days. She went to the kitchen and wrap 10 pieces of bread with a dry cloth. She also manages to receive 2 pairs of plain off white pajama set from Yue. The texture of cloth used in the pajama is a bit rough, it is similar to the cloth used in packing flours.
The bell rang five times, "Xia…before you go, kindly go to your room. You need a guide, so I will place a runic art on your skin." Xia frowned because she does not know what this rune but she went to her room anyways. "Xia…touch the yin-yang pendant." Xia followed Yue's request, the moment the tips of her fingers touches the pendant, a holographic yin-yang picture is floating in the mid-air and rested on Xia's right dorsum. "In this way, I will be able to go where ever you go. Although I can't carry my ability with you, I can act as storage, could possibly identify, record events and scan the area to avoid stronger enemies. Remember that you are an auxiliary type, it would be difficult for you to attack an enemy. Better avoid or hide and wait for the right moment to deal with them.
Xia nodded but she is still nervous, this is the first time she is in this situation that she needs to hunt for her own food. "Yue…. I don't have any attack skills. Do you have any attack skills or defensive skills that I can use outside my house." Yue responded, " I am sorry... but I have none…. The set of skills that you will learn from me is only akin to be used inside the house." Yue pauses a bit then it rang 5 times, " I am sorry….I am a bit useless….It is really difficult for me using the information from your previous world." Xia sigh, "Nah! That is fine. I think we should go now."
She steps out from her house and then closes and lock the door. For the last fifteen days, she was just staying inside the house, it is the first time that she will venture outside her home.
Currently, her back is facing the front of her house. To her left is where the forest that Yue intended her to venture and to her right is the 7-meter wall with a giant wooden door. Xia curiously went to the wall and asked her steward, "Can you scan the area outside the wall?" Yue agreed and requested her to wait for about 5 minutes.
Yue took15 minutes to scan the area and said, "Xia, my scanning ability can't penetrate the wall, it seems like the wall is embedded with multiple runes. The runes were embedded way back one thousand years ago or more. Although the rune is weak but it may take time before it will cease to function." Xia twitches her lips, "What will happened if the rune will stop working?" "Mas…I mean Xia, the entire wall will crumble." Xia eye light up because if the wall will crumble then she can now sell her bread to whatever entity living behind the wall!" So, how long till that wall will crumble?" It beeps three times before Yue answered, " That would be approximately 2-3 years." Xia almost fainted when she heard about it, basically she will not meet anyone for the next three years! "Yue, can you hasten or rewrite the rune to make it a little bit faster?" Yue beep three times, " I am sorry…Xia.. but the one who places that rune is way stronger than me. The person might be at the pinnacle of magic or rune writing. In artifact term, that person is in the divine realm either rank S or rank M."
Xia tilted her head. Yue seems to see or felt that Xia did not understand, "In weapons, armor, accessories or artifact, it can be categorized according to realm and rank. Please open the holographic window"
Xia opens it.
Realm:
• Mortal – the lowest
• Earthen
• Sky
• Spiritual
• Divine – the highest
• Aberrant – Vary
Rank:
• F
• E
• D
• C
• B
• H
• G
• A
• S
• M
"Xia, you may wonder how I got this information?" Xia nodded, "Since, your information should be in par with mine. I don't remember reading rank and realm in my previous life." Yue responded immediately, "You need to understand that I was born here when you came to this world. This is some of the information I received when I was born." Xia nodded.
Yue beep three times, " To continue, anything that is forge or created by a person living in this world will have a maximum realm of Divine. We also need to factor the use of the materials and the proficiency of the creator in order to create an excellent product. If an item was created as mortal realm rank -F, the item can still upgrade till the peak of E but never beyond the realm that the item was created. In other words, if the item is created in the mortal realm then that item will stay in the mortal realm but it can be upgraded up until the peak rank of each realm. For the aberrant realm, one of the examples would be me. I was born within nature's hand not by a human or any other races if they exist in this world. We will rank up similar to out masters and most of us have consciousness" Xia nodded.
Xia saw the minus sign before the F, " What is this minus before your rank?" Yue beep twice then responded, " That would be tier. Each rank is divided into 4 tiers. Please look again on the holographic window."
• Lower -Rank (-F)
• Mid Rank (F)
• Higher Rank+ (F+)
• Peak Rank x (Fx)
"Each realm has its own corresponding rank."
Realm:
• Mortal: Rank F and E
• Earthen: Rank D and C
• Sky: Rank B and H
• Spiritual: Rank G and A
• Divine – Rank S and M
• Aberrant – Rank F to Rank M
Xia closes the holographic window and walks back towards the forest area.
