I am now 1 and a half years old, and due to my personal space and diligence in cultivation, I finally graduated from the Body Refinement realm with 7 stages, namely: Stage 1 - Skin, Stage 2 - Muscles, Stage 3 - Heart, Stage 4 - Blood, Stage 5 - Internal Organs, Stage 6 - Bones, Stage 7 - Overall Body Coordination.
On my 9th month, I started practicing martial arts little by little, where I began with simple exercises and stable stance improvement, to be like an immovable mountain to where I stand in the future. Now, I'm able to move better and with more strength. I wish I could practice or spar with a live person or target.
My personal space was the best gift I could ask for, as not only did it give me enough time to cultivate and create target objects, but it also let me practice magic and martial arts secretly to protect me from prying eyes or those that may have malicious intent. Others may envy my capability and I may die not even knowing how it happened. This is a world where power rules and others may or would rather cut those who may endanger their positions. Though my parents may freak out at first, but I believe my parents can accept me for who I am for I feel that they truly care and may think I'm a genius, but I still prefer to hide it for now until I have enough power to protect myself and my loved ones.
As I was thought earlier on by mother, I started reading different books in our library, which was known as my favorite spot as I kept asking to go there. Luckily, the old lady maid looking after me, normally goes asleep from being bored looking after me as I was not hard to take care of. Mother already stopped breastfeeding me as I'm already as big as a 4 year old, they're normally baffled by it as they're not aware of it happening before, but they end up relating it to the elixirs and pills they're feeding me. I can bring the books to my inventory but not to my personal space. But I'm still pleased as I appear to have eidetic memory, making me vividly recall whatever I read. Comprehension is a different matter though, like for alchemy, which requires guidance and experience from an expert.
Books here are expensive and may be considered a luxury for a common folk, as there's no easy way to copy or publish them. Prices are normally 1 gold to a number of gold coins depending on book type and rarity. 1 book's price can have a normal family survive for months. A normal family of 3 can live for 10 silver coins for a month. Coin denominations are: 100 bronze = 1 silver, 100 Silver = 1 gold, 100 gold = 1 platinum. Platinum coins are normally used by wealthy merchants or royalties.
I now entered the Condensation level and my stats are as follows:

Personal space – Time difference (x10) where 1 hour in the real world = 10 hours in the personal space

I'd say this is absurd, having the strength of 20 normal adult at my very young age, but hey, this is a fantasy world and I diligently worked hard for it. Also, if not for having more time in my personal space, I would not have reached this level yet. My MP or Magic Points appears to be 4 times my strength and HP or Health Points is just somewhat higher. Intelligence is double my strength while charm is kind of hard to speculate. I obtained familiarity with Space element when my mother took me to the Pill Pavilion, using portals, where she bought more pills and elixirs from. It was a safe place not needing guardians and we were only there for a short while. We were dressed up and covered to not attract too much attention.
Upon levelling up, my personal space upgraded again from 5 times to now 10 times compared to the real world, and it's size is now about 300 sqm open field. As I now have the capability to create objects in my personal space, I made a statue of the Admin and from time to time offer my thanks for reincarnating me to this magical world. Though simple as I can't make a very intricate one yet, the intent is there and I placed it on a spot where it would be near my cultivation area but far from my practice location.
I can now use multiple magic and have no problem releasing them one after another, but the limitation is always the MP or Magic Points. It's like a bullet ammo, limited in number, and you need to refill when it's empty.
I have 3 elemental offenses, namely: Ice spike, Wind cutter, and Fire ball and 1 defense which is an Earth wall. The ice spike is about the size of a kunai and the fire ball is about the size of a baseball. Their destructive power can cut or destroy a stump which is about the size an adult's thigh. The earth wall is about the same thickness but it's height can shield a normal adult just fine. The minor teleportation lets me instantly move 10 meters away to any direction I want. All of these consumes MP and must be used wisely. As a backup, I plan to have a sword and I can also still use martial arts if the need arises.
The only thing that does not use MP is Identify, which I now also have, is like an appraise skill which describes what an object is or shows the status of a being. From which I was able to identify the status for both my parents, which I glanced for a brief moment only, as I don't want to arouse their suspicion if they detect someone checking out their stats.

Both their Magic Points (MP) and Intelligence do not stray away from their strength and other stats. If we are all on the same level, I would have 4 times more firepower or MP compared to them, while my intelligence is double to what they have. Sweet! Now, I'm more motivated to cultivate and work hard as I can now see how powerful I can become.
