Carter's eyes fluttered open and he could just make out his surroundings when another searing pain entered his head, this one multiple times more intense than the previous ones when he looked at the names of his three world options. Once again, after the searing pain subsided, Carter felt an influx of information enter his mind without permission.
'!!!' "This... !"
Carter was shocked! He had just received an abundant amount of information about the Infinite World that he was not privy to before.
[Processing Information...]
[Completed! Reincarnation System updated to suit the Infinite World.]
Carter heard the voice of an aged old man in his head as he was not shocked but simply dazed. He was given information about the Reincarnation System along side information about the Infinite World so he had expected this, and he knew what was coming next.

[Personal Domain: This ability is a Unique grade ability that allows the user to enter a separate dimension connected to the user's Dantian. This dimension will grow and change per the user's will and Dantian power and attributes.]
Carter was staring at this panel in shock! All of these abilities sounded too overpowered.
One of the pieces of information Carter got from looking at the Infinite World's text box was the grading system for Techniques, Artifacts, Medicinal Herbs, Assimilation Talent, etc. The grades were as such:
Poor
Common
Mediocre
Good
Excellent
Mythical
Legendary
Unique(It is not always better than legendary or even Mythical, just rarer.)
These grades were not to be confused with it's power level. There could be a Earth Knight level sword that was poorly made thus only had a grade of Poor or Common and a Earth Warrior level sword could have a grade of Excellent. The grade of an Item or Technique determines it's growth potential. At the current moment, all of Carter's innate abilities were of Mortal Warrior level, but they had immense potential to grow in the future due to their high grade.
This made Carter wonder of how powerful most beings in this world were. Were there a lot of legendary talents? I'm pretty sure not.
It sounds like gaining power through cultivation is a pretty universal way of living a good life here, and better yet it sounds like I'm pretty talented at it.
…
Carter gave a mental intent to clear his vision of his Status as he wanted to ascertain his current surroundings. Carter was standing in the middle of a gigantean forest. The trees rose for miles in the sky as their bases were large enough to fit multiple mansions within their diameters, there was vegetation all around as not a single ray of sunshine was able to penetrate the foliage. The only reason Carter could even see at all was due to the magnificent luminescent light coming from floating orbs about the size of baseballs. These orbs painted a dream-like scene in front of Carter, and he stood in a daze; his breathing became deep and steady.
A short moment later, Carter came back to reality when he heard a familiar aged voice in his head.
[Current Goal: Survive for 1 year on Serpent Island.
Reward: Teleportation Stone to Reinhart.]
" What!? You really want me to live in the wilderness for a whole year? Actually, this place doesn't seem too bad. At least it's pretty. Hey voice! What's your name so I don't have to call you 'voice'? That just sounds weird."
[You may call me Gunther]
"Ew, no. You sound nothing like a 'Gunther'. It's fine, Ill just name you myself. Hmmm, What would be a good name for you? Ah! It's perfect! From today forth I shall call you Gandalf."
[That is fine I suppose]
" Ok so now that we've established that... Gandalf, where am I?
[You are currently on Serpent Island, a small Island off the southern coast of the Cerulean Continent. This Island is currently populated by snake-like beasts anywhere from the Mortal Warrior level to Heaven Warrior.]
' Hmmmm... If the only way to get back to civilization is to survive for one year and then teleport there, then that is what I shall do! First I need Food, Water, and Shelter.'
Carter Immediately turned to look at a massive tree trunk. He was planning on carving out his own house. First though, he needed to gather materials which meant killing beasts for their meat and hide.
'Before I can go hunting, I need strength!'
Carter pulled up his Status and prepared to activate a certain skill that would allow him to accumulate essence while breathing.
