faes woke up groaning and feeling different and just as she woke up faes was greeted by 'ding!' a lot of notifications.
'what is going on where am I and what happened?' she asked the system
[host you took in a great amount of ki and magi particles which resulted in you falling unconscious] the system replied
'what?' faes asked confused then remembered the strands and particles entering her body and the pain.
'if I do it again it wont pain that much right?' faes asked cautious and also remembering the novels she have read.
[no it was your first time that is why it pained] the system assured making her take a deep relaxed breath.
Turning her eyes she saw the notifications and her eyes widened
[you level up]
[level up]

It continued and the stats increased too until finally
'system show me my stats' faes said

faes was dumbstruck at the stats. 'What the hell happened that made me level up by six levels?'
'system how can this happen?' she asked
[host you opened your pores that the previous owner didn't and it made the ki and magi particles to rush in your body and it healed your malnutirion and weak body and removed the dirt it had. This made the stats increase to what they should be in real] the system answered.
faes nodded moving on other notifications
[fast healing upgraded into regeneration- now you can heal your body faster and can get rid of deep wounds at faster rate and also can grow new limbs if they are cut off but it will still take time as you are still weak] the notification was useful
[voir level up]
[auzi level up]
[zin level up]
[hide zero level up]
[Cheiro level up]
[swordmanship level up]
[shooting level up]
[space upgraded]
'What the hell is this? How can they all level up too?' faes was not sure of herself now as she saw these notifications.
[they are upto host body and as your body is better they level up themselves] the system explained.
'i really need to clean that reminds me as I can now smell the dirt on myself.'
Looking around faes noticed that she can see better than before and can even see minor detail to a dust particle at the other corner of the room. Then she can hear aiden in the kitchen cooking something. faes cant pick its smell as she was stinking.
Not thinking anymore she thought of entering the space and next second found herself in front of the house.
'I don't even need to meditate anymore!'
Nearly running into bathroom faes turned the shower on and sighed as the hot water began cleaning her and the smell decreased.
'It is really bothersome to continue smell that thing.'
Once faes was clean she checked herself in the mirror. The skinny body looked healthy and glowing now and even the dark eyes twinkled.
Suddenly her stomach growled reminding her that she haven't eaten anything today other than breakfast. So faes exited the space after getting ready and went towards the kitchen. she can pick up scent of food now that she was clean and she figured that it was steak and salad.
And it was just like she thought when faes entered the kitchen she found steak and salad on the table.
Aiden looked surprised but then masked it with a smile
"you are up I thought it will take you a day to get your consciousness back but guess I was wrong again" he said
faes didn't know how to respond to that so she just pressed her lips and sat hopping on the chair as it was a little at height for her small body.
"I want to know what happened" faes asked seriously
'He told me that i will find particles but I found a lot more than that and I want answers. I can just ask the system but I don't want aiden to get worried or freaked out.' faes thought
He thought for sometime joining her on the table before explaining.
"there are different forms of energy in this world. Ki and magi particles are their consumable forms that we can absorb. When a person begins cultivation they either began absorbing ki or magi particles to help themselves. In start we can only see parts of ki threads which seem like particles but as we continue we get to know that ki is in the form of threads not particles. I thought that you would also see the particles of ki at first but it didn't happened" aiden shook his head sighing.
"I was keeping an eye on you and saw that you instead of parts of ki threads you took whole threads in your body and instead of taking them from some points your whole body worked as a pore which is never heard of." He explained. 'So i accidentally did the real thing and at a differet rate than others. This would have been a serious problem for me if it was someone other than aiden teaching me as he knows most things about me so he might blame the transmigration for it and I can only do the same.' faes was greatful of her choice to tell aiden the truth now.
"but I also saw different colored particles what were they?" faes asked
"they were magi particles. They are different types just like different types of magic. They match the magic by their colors as the fire magician can only absorb red magi particles and so on. The golden one and silver one resembles sun and moon energies and are very rare to sense much less absorb. The light and dark are the same respectively." He explained then frowned
"normally people who take both are from higher cultivation as it can harm a person to cultivate both at the same time but looks like you are not bothered by it and if I am correct you don't know that you are currently absorbing and releasing both ki and magi particles from your body" he stated narrowing his eyes at her while faes stared at him in shock. 'I am?'
[yes host] the system answered my unasked question.
Clearing her throat faes took a deep breath
"I didn't realized until now" she answered when a thought came in her mind
'can I meditate again and level up?' faes asked happily
[yes but it will be a slow process which will take you years to just absorb enough energy to level up and that too when the energy does not stays constantly in your body. I suggest give up on the idea and focus on other methods like hunting or completing quests] the system replied crushing her happiness.
"its not a bad thing it don't think about it just let it go. By the way you level up again" aiden said
"uh yes that was because the previous owner didn't focused on her body and let it suffer so when the energy entered me it healed me and gave me a head start but it wont happen again" faes said sighing as she finished her food.
'its better to tell the truth than make 100 lies not that its gonna hurt'
"don't worry we will continue training and you will be powerfull soon enough" aiden assured her
"so can I help you with something like cleaning or washing dishes?" faes asked as she felt bad to let him do all the work when she is the student and also leaving in his house.
"sure you can help me clean the dishes" he replied smiling and faes caught a little fondness in his eyes.
As she walked to the basin faes realized that she was little short for it and this made aiden chuckle
"don't worry here" he waved his hand which glowed with a brown light and the ground raised a little enough to level her to the required height.
"thanks" faes replied as they began working.
Soon they went back to bed as aiden told faes that they will follow the same routine again.
faes finally tried to set the schedule in the watch only to find that it was not functioning normally. It broke down!
[the watch was old and needs to be upgraded every year which the owner didn't do as she ran away from home and then died so its normal that it wont work properly] the system said shaking its head.
'So i need to either upgrade it or change it just like a typical watch back on earth. Great!'
Looks like faes need to stay depended on the system for that now or one day get time and repair it herself.
faes went to the space and then began meditating. The energy both the strands and particles were flowing in her body like blood but the difference was that it wasn't in a vein. faes tried to level up but soon realized that the system was indeed right about it being a long process so she gave up. 'I need to either hunt or find some other way to gain experience.'
"system you said something about a quest why didn't I got one till now?" faes asked
[you have quest host but you are weak so they are locked right now] the system replied.
'I seriously need to get stronger and fast. I remember that the god gave me a quest but what it was I seriously don't know.' faes was determined to get stronger soon as it was the only thing to stay alive in this world. 'power rules'
"so does this mean that I wont get any other quest until I unlock it?" faes asked
[no host you will get quest but you have to wait for the right time to activate them] the system said and she nodded 'makes sense.'
faes was feeling quite awake and full of energy so she decided not to sleep and exercise. she ran around the house and did other exercises aiden showed her along with a few from back on earth. faes realized that she was able to do them a lot better and for longer time too. 'It really is good to be strong!' After faes felt that she was getting tired she went to the bathroom and took a long shower. The smelly liquid was still there but a lot less and she was glad about it.
After the shower faes went to the bed sleeping instantly
