The moment Raia's spirit force made contact with the transparent orb, an opposing force pulled his whole physical body into the center of it.
His body disappeared from his room.
When Raia opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by tall trees. His eyes widened.
A split second later, his mind suddenly received a wave of information and knowledge.
Moments passed and Raia smiled.
"So that's what's happening. This is amazing!" He shouted on top of his lungs.
According to the general knowledge he obtained, this transparent orb has one solar system existing inside it. It is composed of one star and twelve habitable planets with different types of environments.
Each of these planets is abundant in resources from herbs, fruits, beast and mineral veins.
And all of these, was his!
He became a solar system owner instantly!
It is possible for a single person to purchase a planet but it will cost so much and there are so much things needed in order for the ownership to be approved. There are few humans who own very small planets out there but there is none who owns a whole solar system with twelve habitable planets with it!
It was like he spent all his luck just to obtain this orb. He was short in resources and these worlds will be his sources from now on. He can advance his cultivation state if he used the resources from these worlds.
From just the spirit energy in the air, Raia knew that if he cultivates in this place, he will only need a month to break through to the next state, the Martial Spirit State. The spirit energy is so thick and of high purity that the spirit energy from Rhost feels like literal trash to him now.
This spirit energy will surely affect everything around it and that also makes Raia happy. The soil will be more nourished. Plants will bear more fruit and their quality will increase meaning, there will be less impurity present in their fruits. Beasts will be stronger but the energy contained inside their crystals will be multiplied.
However, there is a bit of a challenge.
Right now, he is currently on the first planet and it is the smallest of all the twelve. In order to move to the next planet, he needed to defeat the sovereign beast of this planet.
This was a bit of a test to Raia, who is just a 1st level Martial Physique State.
He can now easily kill a mid-rank 2 beast or even an average high-rank 2 with a good weapon. However, he didn't know how strong the sovereign beast is. And Raia was sure that it won't just be a high-rank 2 beast.
It can even be stronger than the saber fanged wolf which almost killed him.
Inside this orb lies a solar system with twelve planets and he owns all of it. For him to move to the next planet, he must defeat the sovereign beast of the planet he was currently at.
That was all that he knew about this place and that is enough for him.
"I'll just take small solid steps forward. The resources here are enough for me for now. I don't need to rush to the next planet."
He sat down to cultivate.
"Looks like things from the outside can't enter this place except for me." He said as he stared at his naked body.
"This is a bit troublesome. If that is really the case then I am going to fight with my fists if I don't have any weapons with me."
He looked around the forest.
"Or maybe I can just create one myself inside here." He smiled with that idea.
'I'll worry about that later. I should cultivate first.'
He started to refine the energy in the air and all his foundation became excited from the presence of the pure and high quality spirit energy.
This spirit energy poured into Raia's body without stop. Every part of his body was being strengthened and becoming tougher for every second that passed by.
Ten minutes later and he reached 2nd level Martial Physique State.
Another fifteen minutes to achieve the 3rd level and half an hour more to reach the 4th level Martial Physique State.
An hour passed and he attained 5th level Martial Physique State.
He breathed out pure spirit energy.
"This was faster than what I imagined." He was very satisfied.
Martial Physique state focuses in strengthening and tempering the body to achieve the peak state it can possibly reach. Each muscle fibers, bones and organs were being reinforced in order to receive next condition of the following state.
While cultivating, Raia was amazed when he realized that even though he was not present in his room, he can still sense a small portion of the outside world. He stared at the clock and saw that only more than twenty minutes passed when he left his room.
'So time runs about five times faster here inside the orb than the outside world. That is great news for me.'
Raia was really excited about discovering the time difference between outside world and here inside the orb. He can do what he want without worrying much about how much time he spend inside his new world.
He cultivated for another two hours and reached 6th level Martial Physique State. He felt several times stronger now. His bones were denser, his muscled were brimming with power and his organs were full of energy.
Raia stood up wearing a pleased expression on his face. He then began to walk around the forest. It was just a bit awkward because he was naked.
It was fortunate that he was the only human in this place.
Everything here had no names, from the solar system to the planets up to the beasts and plants. But that made Raia glad because he likes naming things although he is not particularly the best in that department.
"I need to think of a good name for my planets." He said to himself.
A few minutes of wandering around and he encountered his first beast. He hid behind a bush to not startle it. He didn't have information about the beasts here so being careful is a must.
Raia was observing the beast while it gently licks its fur.
It was a large green cat with spikes on his back. Its eyes were yellow and there are some black stripes on some part of its body.
'Good. I'll call this one a 'spiked-green tiger'.' He thought to himself and smiled like he was so proud of what he did.
The spiked-green tiger was a mid-rank 3 beast. Its combat power can reach high-rank 3 which is more than he can chew.
'Zziingg'
At this moment, a thin light beam appeared out of nowhere and shot through the head of the spiked-green tiger. Its body collapsed to the ground lifeless.
A rank 3 beast died instantly!
'What…?'
Raia looked around and when he found nothing suspicious, his eyes returned to the corpse of the spiked-green tiger. The light beam penetrated and created a hole in the middle of its head.
'What is that light beam?'
He was still confused and shocked to what happened when he felt a pressure pushing down against his body.
'Rustle Rustle'
The trees and bushes moved. Thereafter, a large beast emerged.
This new beast was thrice the size of the tiger in about six meters tall. It was a wolf-type beast. Its body was covered in light-gold color and there was a small bright light floating in front of its forehead.
It casually walked in front of the corpse of the spiked-green tiger and bit its head. It tore the part that has the spike and ate the rest of the body.
Its royal-like shade was stained with the red blood of the tiger.
Raia was frozen in his place.
'High-rank 5 beast!'
It was definitely a lot more powerful than the saber fanged wolf that he fought. This wolf in front of him can kill him within a blink of an eye. He dared not to move fearing that the wolf will notice him.
After its feast, the wolf licked its paws.
Then it paused and stared at the direction where Raia was observing. Their eyes made contact with each other.
'Oh boy.'
He kicked the ground and ran away as fast as he can. He turned back and saw the charging wolf and its scarlet eyes locked on him with killing intent.
Raia cursed inside. He feared for his life.
'I need to escape!'
However, he didn't know how to exit this place.
The wolf shot a light beam to the direction of Raia. He sensed it and sidestepped to evade it but it was so fast it still hit his right shoulder.
'Arrghh!'
The attack of the wolf left a hole on his shoulder that gave the right part of his torso and arm an intense burning sensation. Raia's mind was panicking.
He didn't know what to do.
This time, he had a glimpse of his room from the outside world.
'This is the how I entered so maybe this is how I exit.'
He immediately sent his spirit force outside. A familiar force pulled his body and he disappeared on the spot.
The wolf shot a light beam again. However, it hit nothing but the trees. The wolf was enraged that its prey escaped. It shot a light beam around it cutting all the trees it made contact with into two.
…
Raia appeared in his room in an instant. His breathing and heartbeat was fast.
He was wearing the same clothes before he entered the orb. His shoulder was still bleeding so he took off his shirt and used it to cover the hole on his shoulder.
'That was close.' He took the last low-grade recovery pill that he had. It won't heal his wound but it will close at least.
"I'm so weak." He sighed and lowered his head.
He realized things while treating his wound.
He was weak. In this world or inside the orb, he was so weak. His position in the food chain was at the bottom.
Next, when he entered the orb, his physical body and soul came with him meaning if he died inside the orb, he will die for real.
Raia calmed himself down.
"I've been careless. So what if I own the planet? There are beasts more powerful than me there. I can't do what I need to do if I continue like this. I should strengthen myself so I can at least kill a spiked-green tiger before going back inside the orb. If I enter again with my level, I will just run away with my life again." He said to himself.
"I think I'm starting to get a wolf beast phobia." Raia brushed his hair with his fingers.
"What a funny thing. The owner escapes with his life from his own place." He chuckled.
"Good thing I cultivated up to 6th level Martial Physique State before exiting the orb. That alone made the journey worth it. *cough* Even though I almost died it was worth the risk. I couldn't achieve this state here outside in the span of four hours. Goodness! I already missed the spirit energy inside the orb!" Raia sighed. Now that he tasted the high and pure quality spirit energy inside the orb, he wanted to vomit the energy here outside.
After talking to himself for a few more minutes, Raia changed clothes.
"Oh it's already dinner time. Perfect. I'm so hungry."
