In a highest floor of Bernard Tower, D City, Republic of Dawn. A lady sitting in the chair facing middle aged man in front f her. The room was quiet. They stare each other for a moment. This lady has silver hair with bright eyes. His figure is way better than Anna. If Rey was here, he will recognize this lady, because this lady is the number one beauty of Albert Senior Highschool, Emilia Bernard. All of the students in Alberts Senior Highschool know her. Most of the boys were in love with her while the girl has respect for her. Rey was interested in her as well, but he knows his place so that he chose Anna rather than Emilia. Now, Emilia was facing a middle-aged man with silver hair and this middle-aged man was his father, Barton Bernard, the current leader of Bernard Group and Bernard Family.
Bernard Family with its Bernard Group was one of the most influential family in Republic of Dawn. They have significant amount of assets that worth billions of dollars. In fact, the highest commander of Dawn Republican army was Emilia's grandfather, Michael Bernard.
"What's the matter, Father?"
Emilia asked while the middle-aged man sighed.
"Emilia…, the world has changed. There will be chaos everywhere and you as the future pillar of the family, you ought to be prepared for what would happen. Defend this country at all cost!"
Emilia was stunned and curious of why his father told her this.
"Father.."
"The spiritual power became denser Emilia. Your grandfather told me that this spiritual power will became denser and denser. The old war would be repeated."
"W-war?"
"Yes. A lot of new mages and warriors will emerge. This will give those old foxes hope of regaining their power and fight the current world leaders. The world will be plunged into chaos."
The middle aged-man took a deep breath and continue. "Anyway, have you mastered using level 2 'Fire Ball'?"
"Yes, Father"
"Good. From today onward, the path of magic will be opened and learning magic will became easier, but you ought to practice more because in the future the strong will prey on the weak. Be prepared, my dear Emilia."

Ringg.. Ring.. Ring.. Rey was woken up by the alarm of his phone. Today was Saturday, so Rey does not have to go to school. Rey's eyes are sleepy, he went to the bathroom to do the morning 'ritual'.
Tok. Tok. Tok..
"Brother, breakfast is ready. Mom and Dad is waiting."
Rey was two years older than his sister, Bella. She also studies in Albert Senior Highschool. She was freshman while Rey was in the third year. Her grade was better than Rey, but she does not care about it. She always feels that her brother is the best.
After calling his brother, Bella returned to the dinning-room. With his sleepy eyes, Rey dragged his body to the dining-room for breakfast. His father Ed Harry already sitting in his chair chatting with Rey's mom, Lona Harry, while his sister playing with his phone.
"Son, what happen with your face?" His mother asked as she saw the wounds on Rey's face.
"Eh. Erm. I fell from my bed."
His sister let a chuckle.
"Its alright. Come on, let us breakfast together! Your father is staving already."
"When did I.." His father felt wronged but soon he changes the subject.
"Today we will go to grandfather house. It has been some time since we visit him."
"Yeay. Granpa will be happy seeing us there."
His sister was very happy. Because the scenery and environment at her granpa house was better than her house. She also loves to learn farming from her grandpa. Rey has no objection for this idea since he does not have any plans for today. He just texted Dave about it.
While eating Rey's gaze was landed on the window. Looking at the green scenery outside and suddenly he remembered the event last night and then his face became pale, but no one notice him since they already gulping their bread in front of them.

"Granpaaa."
Bella already running for her grandfather after they arrived in the farm with their car. The farm was peaceful, the scenery was better than Rey's house and the land was fertile. The plants were planted by the granpa. Rey enjoy the scenery around the farm and then noticed a particular plant that was placed in an expensive looking box. He grows curious looking at it. Then he asked.
"Granpa, what is it?"
"Oh, it was a ginseng. I found it in the mountain when I look for firewood. Hehe, I quite lucky yesterday. I found this ginseng and intended to sell it."
"Sell it?"
Rey was confused. This strange looking thing, how much would this thing sell for. Rey was ignorant about most of plants including ginseng. What he knows was the plants he learns from his granpa.
"Yes. This ginseng quality is not bad. Probably 10 years old and it weighed around 2 pounds, so this could be sold for 1100$."
"Eh, that much?"
"Yes, if the quality was better than the price naturally will rise and the older the ginseng the expensive its price."
'Wow.' Rey was in dazed for a moment. Seeing his expression his granpa let out a little chuckle and continue doing his work and teaching his granddaughter about farming. Rey still staring at the ginseng and thought about something.
'The other side.' He cried in his hearth. He thought about possibility of discovering ginseng in that world. 'Since the forest was so fertile, the ginseng should be found easily right? 10 years.. no 100 years old or even 1000 years old ginseng with better quality. If I found them, hehehe.' Rey laughed foolishly but suddenly think about the tiger and his face went pale. 'There should be no problem if I was careful. I could travel here and there instantly so why should I fear about it.' This time Rey was determined to get the riches 'provided' for him in the other side.

The family of four went back home after playing around the farm for the entire day. Bella was tired learning about farming from his grandfather. Rey also listened what his granpa's teaching to his sister because he thought that it may be useful for his journey in the other side while their parents merely enjoying the scenery and the peacefulness around the farm.
Inside the car, Rey thought about what to do in the other side. He also questioned whether there are civilizations at that world. What about that tiger. 'Maybe there is magic civilization, there. If so, I will learn magic and dominated earth. HAHAHAHAHA.' Rey thought become wilder and wilder. 'At that time my beloved Anna. Kekeke. Even Goddess Emilia will become mine.'
The car stopped in front of their house. The sky turned dark already. They eat dinner together. Bella dragged her tired body to his room and their parents also go to their room seemingly tired and in need of rest while Rey excitedly go to his room.
In his room, Rey was facing his pc. He searches any articles related to ginseng. How to find them. How to uproot and harvest them. How to sell it. Two hours later he became more and more exited, because of the thought of riches in other side. 'I will become rich man.' Rey thought excitedly.
'Its already 10 p.m. there still time for me to take a look. Who knows I will be lucky to find one ginseng for tonight.' He prepared the tools he found in the basement and placed them in his bag. The tool was his fathers. His father keeps them in the basement because he never used it anymore. So, even if Rey broke them or lost all the tools, his father would not know about it.
Rey back to his room. Wears his shoes. He looked at the ring. Pick it up and put it on his finger. He closed his eyes and whisper a little.
"Travel."
'Riches, here I come.' Rey was exited for a moment, but the moments he opens his eyes. He was stunned.
"What the…."
