It was already dark when Jacob started to sort his harvest for the day and there are a lot of metals he got. He started to sort everything that he got from and separating them according to what type of metal they belong to.
After finishing the sorting of metals, he started to open the rocks that he detected that contains some metals in it.
One by one, using his tools, he cut open those rocks and extracted the metals inside of it. As he was opening those rocks, he unknowingly picked the remains of a planet and ready to open it.
Jacob was cutting that piece of circular rock when the tools that he is using went through the center and hit a hard metal that stops the tool from cutting further. Jacob that he needed to use more force to cut it open and everything will be done. But as more pressure he applied it still did not budge. So, Jacob thought that he needed to approach this situation in a different angle.
Because only the rock can be cut by the tools, he avoided the metal and started to cut the rock piece by piece. With that, Jacob now holds a small black crystal ball in his hands, it is so black that even light cannot penetrate it, and it looks like a blackhole that can absorb any light.
Jacob tries to observe the ball as he is identifying what type of metal it is or maybe an intact treasure that he can sell for thousands of monies.
Without noticing anything extraordinary on it, Jacob thought that it was just an ordinary metal that was specially coated to look make it that way. He was about to keep the crystal when it floated in front of him and scanned him from head to toe making his eyes widely open. He was literally shocked by what is happening in front of him. The scan was already completed needing only a few seconds to information from Jacob.
He slowly got himself to calm down so and observed the crystal ball. He saw that the crystal ball was done scanning him and directly went into his Fantasy World ring and melded into it.
"Hey, what just happened?! That thing just went right into my ring. What does that supposed to mean?" Jacob was perplexed by what was happening without anyone informing him what did that ball do to his ring, a very important part of his life.
[Ring holder confirmed. Initializing the integration of the infant Black Crystal...…0.01% in progress]
This was the last memory of Jacob after he heard the voice inside his head and before he collapses and fell into deep sleep.
…..
It was already two months since Jacob collapse and fell asleep but there were still no signs of awakening. He was still in the state of coma.
Even though he did not take any nutrients, his body mysteriously remains the same and as if time was not present on his body.
7 days passed by when suddenly Jacob's eyes slowly started to open and afterwards, he heard a voice inside his head.
[integration completed… New Holder of the infant Black Crystal will now obtain new abilities…. Previous progress in Fantasy World will be deleted…]
Jacob was shocked by what he heard, but he was more shocked when he heard that everything, he gained from Fantasy World will be deleted, his progress in level and everything regarding his strength.
He started to panic and immediately opened the system interface of himself
[Name: Jacob
Level:0
Innate Talent: Plasma Manipulation, Universe Runes]
Jacob was infuriated by what he was seeing as he again started with nothing. But looking at his data again, he recognized that there was an extra information in his innate talent portion.
"Huh? How can this be possible? Fantasy World already emphasized that every human only has one innate talent and even the founder said that he only has one like all humans" Jacob was confused to the things that is happening.
By using his consciousness to see the detailed information of his newly acquired innate talent, immediately the information appeared in front of him.
[Innate Talent: Universe Runes- A knowledge that was already forgotten by the beings of the universe. Since ancient times, universe runes are used to connect with the universe and help manipulate elements and even the laws of the universe. It is said that the universe was created by a being far mysterious than God Realm experts using complex combination of Universe Runes. Within an exploration of the intellect race to an ancient ruin, they found a power that can help them use Universe Runes, but because it is very hard to control, they cannot fully use it. By a long period of research, they came up with a tool to create their small universe, the Fantasy World. Although Fantasy World is far from the power of the universe, it is still a miniature of the universe, and this became the great accomplishment of the Intellect race. But because they are still not contented with this, they tried to control the power of the Universe Runes for themselves and thus they suppress its powers by creating the Infant Black Crystal, but unfortunately the universe retaliated to them for doing this that resulted for their race to be obliterated.
The powers of this Universe Talent will be unlocked for the safety of the future user, I home that you, the present owner, can unleash its full potential and become the second owner of its power. And just a reminder, do not forcefully unlock some of its powers when you do not have the capacity to suppress it, for it will be the day your race will experience what we experience. With all my life, I did my very best to lock 99.99999% of its power. I am the last survivor of my race and as a scientist, I want to do my responsibility on unveiling the secrets of the universe, and this will be my last job, hope you can succeed.
