Raliz didn't mind it. She did what Alpha said.
Sha sat in place.
Her legs were criss-crossed. Her hands were cupped together. She breathe in and expelled it gently.
She cleared her mind and made her body fell into a trance. She looked like a steady, sitting statue. Her eyes were closed.
She had done this countless of times before with her Grandpa and it was an easy task for her.
She felt waves of colorful things in the air. The waves of colorful things was just Raliz interpretation in her mind since she couldn't see it. These waves of colorful things are wild energies. These energies have different elements.
Absorbing them could help a person or a creature evolve. It is also the main component of Aura. These wild energies are only present in Alpha World and other worlds and dimensions that ivolves magic.
This must be the energy that Alpha was talking about. Raliz remebered what Alpha said and tried to feel it even more.
And then, like a vaccuum, her body sucked all the wild energies in the air.
Raliz opened her eyes and saw black aura around her.
She was astounded but as the same time a question popped in her head. Why is my aura black?
"Answer: You have a unawakened bloodline in your body. To know more, say [Path of Evolution]." Alpha gave an answer of Raliz's question.
This time, Raliz didn't took Alpha's suggestion and continued meditating for 3 hours straight.
"Meditating for 3 hours straight helped you obtained a new skill. [Aura Release]." Alpha announced.
Raliz was happy.
"To use the skill, just say [Aura Release]." Alpha stated.
Raliz was very excited to try it out. She took a deep breath and said the skill.
"[Aura Release]!" She shouted.
A Black Aura covered her whole body. She looked like a girl in black flames.
She wanted to see her image badly. She looked around. She was standing on the shore of the Mirror-like lake.
"I thought I'm on another world. Why the lake is still here?" Raliz asked herself.
"I fell in the water with a wound in the stomach. And I was drowning and sinking... Could it be that this lake is a portal linking the Alpha World and Earth?" Raliz was holding her belly trying to remember everything and then, jumped into conclusion about the lake.
"What is this lake?" Raliz asked again.
"Attention: You've gained a skill. [Inspect]. It is because of you asking so many questions on yourself and not relying on the system. [Inspect] is used to see or to know the name and stats of an object or being." In Raliz head, red lights were beeping and glowing and an angry tone was accompanying it.
Raliz suddenly laughed. The system's angry?! How could it be?! Haha!
Raliz stopped laughing and wiped her tears.
"Okay. Alpha, [Inspect]." A red laser light was pointed at the Mirror lake. Then, informations about the Mirror Lake appeared.
"[Great Mirror Lake].
Rank: Divine Artifact
Attributes: Space/Mirror
Condition: Broken(?)
Effects: ???
Raliz was shocked. Divine Artifact!
"Alpha, What is an Artifact?" Raliz asked immediately.
"Answer: Artifact. Is an item level that used and made by Gods." Alpha answered briefly.
"Then what's the use of the word 'Divine' with the Artifact?"
In a second, Alpha explained it.
"There are Ordinary and Divine Artifacts. Ordinary ones, are artifacts that do not need Divine energy, mana or magic. These Artifacts could be easily used by Legendary Ranks' Powerhouses. The Divine Artifacts are the ones that are commonly used by Gods. These Artifacts are more powerful than Ordinary ones."
After Alpha explained it, Raliz was mind-blown.
'There are also Gods!!!'
"Alpha, Show me the Item's Levels." Raliz commanded. Words appeared before her. The words had their own colors indicating their level.
The word 'Normal Rank' was colored in white. It is the lowest rank of all items. Next is the 'UNCOMMON rank' which is color green, then followed by the 'Rare Rank' that is colored in blue. Then, 'Super Rare Rank' Items that have color purple, and 'Ultra Rare' has color orange. And next is 'LEGENDARY rank' that has color Red. And lastly, the most powerful Rank of Items is the Artifacts and Relics which are Gold and Yellow.
Raliz familiarized the item rankings.
She was amazed.
"Alpha, Can I obtain this Artifact?." Raliz thought because it is an item, it can be obtain.
"Answer: Pfft... Wahahah... No, you can't. Your level is too low. You'll die if you wield an Artifact. Your body would be overwhelmed by its power and will make your body explode. You want that to happen to you? Wahahah" Alpha mocked Raliz for her ignorance and stupidity.
Huh?
"Did you just mocked me?" Raliz was surprised. What Alpha said and its tone sounded like a real living being.
"Answer: No... You're imagining things." Alpha defended Raliz's guess.
"You really mocked me! You... Mocked me... Huh?" Raliz realized what Alpha said to her and made a bitter face.
"You are not a normal System, aren't you?" She was trying to persuade Alpha to tell her the truth about itself.
"Of course, I'm not ordinary. I'm the most intelligent System could a being have." Alpha boasted. Like a human making itself greater.
"Yeah... Just came with a poisonous tongue." Raliz smirked.
"What did you-" Before Alpha could strike back a word, it was stopped by a command.
"Alpha, [Path of Evolution]" Raliz commanded immediately not wanting to finish Alpha up to its sentence.
Alpha gave an sound of annoyance and said, "
[Path of Evolution] - ?
Soul Occupation: ???
Bloodline: Dark Blood (Inactive)
Element: Dark(Inactive)
Battle Techniques: None
These informations appeared. Raliz analyzed each words and asked Alpha.
Based on what Alpha said, Soul Occupation is a class or a job that an Alphaian will become. Its like a job of a human being that should take. Like being a Police, Doctor, or an Accountant and etc. .
These Soul Occupations or job are determined inside ones soul. It is said the class of an Alphaian is determined since birth by its soul. It is also hereditary. Its very rare to have a class that is different from your family.
Sometimes the class of an Alphaians couldn't be determined until they are in the right age. Some were discovered by fighting.
There are a lot of Soul Occupations. Each person could only have one main Soul Occupation.
Raliz also asked about the Question mark beside the Path of Evolution.
The Path of Evolution are divided into six: Fighter, Tank, Mage, Assassin, Support and Marksman. To obtain one, it depends on the person's Soul Occupations.
Path of Evolutions distinguished or arranged the types of Soul Occupations.
In other words, the Six Path of Evolutions were main Branches and each branch has different types of Soul Occupations.
But there's one thing that's bugging Raliz's mind. Dark blood? I thought I'm a human?
Raliz asked this too to Alpha but to her surprise, Alpha couldn't find any answers to her origin. There is only one thing that Alpha told her though. That she is an Alphaian and she is not a human.
"Then, what are Alphaians exactly?" Raliz wanted to clarify things out about the humans and Alphaians.
" Well, Alphaians are people that have the same intelligence and mostly have appearances same as humans. You are only called an Alphaian, if you have an Alphaian blood. Just like Humans, There are many kinds of Alphaians resulting to different kinds of blood. And if you are an outsider or someone from not around here and happen to stay for a week, your blood will get contaminated by the Alphaian air, thus, making you an Alphaian. In your case, you have the Alphaian blood already when you got here."
Raliz was shocked at first, but she regained herself back and accepted the truth.
"I think you're right. My Grandpa used Magic in front of me and I'd used magic too. So, Grandpa is an Alphaian.
And that means..." Raliz suddenly remembered her family.
"They, too?!" It was just a guess, though. Raliz didn't jump into conclusion immediately. There are many possibilities of why is she an Alphaian.
Raliz remembered her Soul Occupation that is blank and minded to ask Alpha.
"Alpha, why is my Soul Occupation blank?"
"Answer: Its because you haven't discovered it yet. To discover your Soul Occupation, Find the owner of the Artifact: Gem of Origin. I will show you a map and the location of the owner." A Map suddenly appeared inside her head. She could envision it.
The Map looked old in Raliz's head but she could see everything clearly. The Map was huge showing the whole surface of the Alpha World.
Raliz saw a green dot beside a huge blue-colored area. The blue area was the Great Mirror Lake. The Mirror lake looked like a part or a piece of a broken circular thing. Its not that round however, it have a curvy part indicating its shore, where Raliz was located.
The Green dot was her.
And then, there was a red dot blinking far away from Raliz's location. That's the place where the owner of the Gem is at.
The owner was at a Mountain called Serpent Mountain.
Raliz need to travel 100 miles to get to that place. First, she needs to get out this forest called Lush Green Forest that covered the land by 3,000,000 square miles. The Lush Green Forest is the largest forest in the Alpha World. It is located at the west side of Alpha. The lake was near the exit, thankfully. Raliz would only walk 20 miles to get out of the forest.
And after that, she'll be continuing North and go on 50-mile journey to Hundred Peaks Mountain Range.
On the 8th Mountain is where the Red dot was blinking.
And crossing the 7 mountains will take 30 miles of walking. It'll be tiring. But Raliz didn't even bother. She could conquer everything.
"So the Gem that Grandpa gave me is an Artifact?!" Raliz excitedly looked at the Gem and used inspect.
[Gem of Origin]
Condition: Broken(?)
Rank: Artifact
???
???
???
Raliz was stunned.
In the stat of the Artifact, most of it were blank.
Alpha explained that Raliz's level was too low to know the information of the artifact.
Raliz was puzzled. Its just the same as the Item[Great Mirror Lake]. It didn't shows much of its status.
Raliz also learned that in order to level up, she needs to kill monsters.
She was frustrated.
But she needs to get powerful.
"Alright, before I get the informations I wanted, I need to get stronger first." Raliz stood up and got ready but suddenly, she remembered something.
She looked around. Look shocked.
"Where is the cub?!" Raliz shouted in worry.
She went to the lake and look.
"Oh My God! I wish It's not dead! Oh God please..." Raliz wanted to dive in, suddenly, the trees swayed.
Raliz turned her head to the direction of the swaying trees.
