Stars filled the sky like a beautiful rainbow. It was the promise of life in the darkness, a sense of warmth springing from the cold. It was a vastness to bring humbleness and an eternal space to bring gratitude for the coziness of home.
Ren Ku felt as if he was in heaven, he realized that he wasted the many opportunities he missed by overworking almost every day.
"Nature really is beautiful, it's as if I could just forget my problems and lay here forever". Said Ren as he sighed with relief
The system hearing this realized how he had missed this scenario, a warm fire, the huge moon, and loving people, he felt fulfilled, but more and more problems arise every day always disrupting his peace.
The Next Day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The grass swinging to the melodies of the wind, a campfire that used up its fire and turned into charcoal, and the sound of Ren waking up,
Ren yawned as he squinted his eyes "Oh look the sky.", Ren stood up then head to the nearest source of water.
After he arrived he saw the lake, it was so clear that the light from the sun was bouncing right off,
he took a bath and cleaned himself up.
'Good-morning host what's your goal for today?'
"I'm thinking of going to the Song kingdom as it's the nearest kingdom out of the three"
'The estimated distance is 21.7 km and the estimated time you'll be there is 11 PM, exactly 3 hours and 10 minutes from now, I suggest you should check your spatial ring'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ring"
X2 Starter Sword (Weapon)
X3 Melodian Blue (Healing Herb)
X5 Bread (Food from the village Samje)
X1 Jar Of Water (Water from the River)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'You can reach the Kingdom of Song without needing to resupply'
Ren nodded giving his approval "Then let's go".
He walked 3 whole hours trying to avoid demons then he arrived outside the kingdom, he consumed 2 pieces of bread and drank half the jar of water, but the guard stopped him from entering,
"Pay 5 silver coins for the entrance fee first!" said the angry guard, Ren reacted acting with his instincts
Thinking this would work he tried talking to the system using his thoughts 'System target silver coins duplicate it 5 times' system then replied 'using 5 duplicate points, you have 194 Duplicate Points left'
a light then shined directly at Ren's hand, he used his fingers to cover the light.
"Here you go." Ren handed the coins and nodded his head, the soldier thanks him and let him inside the kingdom.
The kingdom was beautiful beyond belief, it was much more beautiful than the Kingdom of Xan,
many people inside the crowd, and the shopping district was noisy as ever, people screaming
"MY SHOP IS SELLING 50% OFF!" "FREE SAMPLES!", "WRAAAAAAA" oh and a random screaming guy, anyways they tried many other ways to advertise their business, but one was shining more than every other shop. The Heavenly Comet Auction House!
The Heavenly Comet Auction House or as the residents call it "Comet" was a 3 story building right in the middle of the shopping district, while the rest of the buildings surrounding the shopping district was only 2 story buildings.
He gathered information regarding Comet, although the building was huge they used a spatial array to expand the space inside, it's as big as 2 buildings connected inside, the max items they had sold was a grade 4 Spiritual Spear, and the huge events usually unfold on Friday then System gave him a mission.

Ren then asked the system "Why!? This is my masters' Art!", then people looked at him weirdly,
'Quiet down use your thoughts to communicate with me! you don't need that trash art anyway
just listen to me I got this handled.'
Ren was hesitant but he pushed himself to do it, 'Duplicate Art Searing Lotus', then the system answered him
'Use 10 DP? to Duplicate the Manual of the Art: Searing Lotus'
'Yes' Remaining DP: 186
'Then I will transfer the manual in your spatial ring'
The ring glowed but not enough to attract people's attention, now Ren will auction off his art.
