After understanding everything rick decided that it was time that he get a feeling of his surrounding although guide has told him that he can be seen nor touched by normal people and beasts which roam this world because he is a soul.
He was still a bit afraid of the unknown so he first used the skill soul search.
"....There is.... nothing" for 5ft all around rick total 1.524M there was nothing no living being no surface nothing for a moment he thought he was too high in the air but soon he found where he was.
"Is that..... a..... fish?" yes rick was under water and he saw a fish pass through his soul form without even realizing it.
"I need to get out of here.... I HATE UNDERWATER PLACES!!!" rick shouted and his survival instinct moved his soul out of water with speed but it still took some time to get out of the water since he was slow and the place was deep.
Rick's soul search already ended but he was too afraid to look around him since he had fear of underwater places he is afraid to look around using soul search.
"Calm down you are already out of water" said the guide trying to calm rick down.
"Really? Thank god I was afraid to death I hate underwater.
If we stayed one more second in that place I would have died.... oh right I can't die.." rick realized that he can't die although saying he can't die made him feel a bit excited, he was also feeling safe now that the underwater experience was over.
Rick again tried to use the soul search and he found nothing around him other than the water under his soul.
"Guide? Can you tell me which direction I should go to" asked rick.
"In your north at far 88km away there is an island filled with a tribe who eats fish and any living being which does not belong to the island, they even treat their animals as one of them but do not mistake they are not humans but half humans, half demons who are cast out of their societies because they are neither complete humans nor demons, they are a mixed race"explained Guide.
"NOPE, I'm not going there no, never. find another place"rick was not going to a place where they 'eat' any 'living being' which does not belong to the island.
Who knows they might eat humans and taking the body of a person like that is a big NO.
"Then the only place you can go is to the south-west 88.24miles or 142km away you can find the shore to the only continent in this world but the situation isn't good there do you still want to go?"said guide
"Yes I would rather go there... but there is safe places right? Like a kingdom or something which don't eat humans" asked rick.
"Safe place? I'm afraid there is not many safe place in this world but there are places where they don't eat humans.
That island was created by mixed races who had no other place or food source so they had to eat whatever came to the island and they made it one of their rules that you can eat anything which had nothing to do with this island"said guide.
"Fine then its decided that I will go to that continent...by the way what's the name of that continent?" asked rick.
"The name of that continent is Quigord, its the only continent in this world, hmm I should also tell you about history of this world and what's happening in this world but first you should remember the feeling of moving upwards when you were shocked.
Try to remember the feeling of your survival instinct skill moving your body out of water just by sensing the fear in you"Said guide.
"OK here goes....." rick tried to use soul search then used survival instinct to move in the direction of south-west of his direction but...
Nothing happened for a while so guide said "um... nothing is happening are you even trying?"
"I AM TRYING, I'm using everything I got but its not working" rick said in a bit of frustration.
"Maybe you should stop forcing it and just remember the feeling of moving. Try to 'remember' how you moved inside the water don't force it" guide tried to tell rick what he was doing wrong.
"I'll try...." rick didn't want to remember the feeling of being under water he knew that the feeling of moving up was important but when he tried it he also remembered the water and how he was stuck under water for some time.
Rick tried to focus on the feeling of moving up without thinking about underwater he just thought of it as flying in the sky "yup just like a bird, I'm going to fly".
"That sounds like a kid aren't you embarrassed saying all that nonsense"said guide.
"Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate here and why does it matter if I say embarrassing thing no one is listening anyway so shut the FUCK UP" rick got a bit angry but it helped him get his mind clean of the underwater.
"Fine"said guide.
After some time rick was able to move up in the air "haha finally its working I can move I can fly haha" he became happy and started to increase his speed of moving upward.
"You are supposed to move south-west not upwards"said guide.
"...Ya I know"said rick and then he concentrated in moving south-west with as much speed as he could.
"You should also practice these skills by trying to move in zig-zag direction as well as circle and other complicated ways of moving, It will help you understand your skills better and you will also gain experience in your skills.
Who knows your skills might level up before you reach the continent"said guide.
"I guess you are right about that OK ill try it but let me know if I'm moving in any wrong direction" asked rick.
"OK I will also explain all about this world's history so listen"said guide and started the history lessons.
#STORY TIME#
In the multiverse there exists many worlds and dimensions one of them is the world of ZENITH in this world there are three gods who rule over every living creature they are.-
MEFERES - the god of elements,non-elements and magic.
LIGERTS - god of light,darkness and emotions.
BEMES - the god of creation and destruction.
They kept the balance in the world and the world let them rule all living being in it.
The World created humans and dwarfs for development.
Demi-humans for protection and balance of living beings.
Elves for taking care of nature.
Sea creatures like mermen and mermaids and other similar species for taking care of sea's, river's, oceans all over the world.
Demons for keeping the darkness of the world and monsters with other living creatures to keep the balance.
Although the gods can't interfere with the people in the world directly, they can do so by creating churches and temples of their own.
Choosing humans and elves as the messengers of gods.
The people who are chosen became the high authority in the church and maintain order among the population all over the world, since there is only one main continent which is called Quigord.
There was no kings,queens,emperors or any other nation all the places were governed by churches except some places which includes demon's empire.
The world was peaceful for a long time and people were happy, but peace didn't last long when another evil god started to show interest in the world of ZENITH, he started by sending his apostle the undead lord to the world of ZENITH.
He ordered the undead lord to create churches for the evil god and increase his followers as much as undead lord can and specially seek out demons.
Since they are created from darkness of the world it's easy to make them submit to the evil god.
Undead lord was smart enough to hide from the three god's eyes while building his own evil god's churches.
Because of the evil god's blessings he was able to establish a church in daemon kingdom as well as created a monster kingdom and created a church there.
Monsters thinking was simple whoever is the strongest is the king and since no monster was able to beat undead lord he took control of them and created a kingdom.
Although it was unavoidable that monsters didn't take the church seriously at first but after some of the monsters who worshiped evil god started to gain power of evil and become stronger, others easily submitted to evil god.
The power they gained comes at a price though, and since it was the power of an evil god they had to spread evil in order to keep their powers and sanity they started to kill those who still refused the power of evil god and with demons they started harming humans, Elves, Dwarfs.
