Idan opened his eyes to find himself back in the cave with goldorns who looked like they had been anticipating his return.
*Ding* Congratulations, you have entered the sensory realm and gained 400 ounces of sensory energy*
"I guess that I'll go and see Old man Kaden for more information," Idan thought to himself.
In the Western jungles of the southern continent, a large number of harans from the Dimoa tribe stood out in an open area undergoing training, exercising their bodies.
Hor walked around and watched as the tribe members continued the strict training. When nighttime came, he went outside the tribe buildings and gathered a few branches before setting a fire.
Beside the fire, he held his spear and he felt the presence of something pull him in as the entire environment changed to bright daylight with a haran standing in front of him.
"Great Grandfather Himlo, where am I?"
Himlo looked at him for a while before providing an answer to his question, "I summoned you here to the intermediary realm where I can communicate without having to make myself visible in the physical realm."
"But why have you summoned me to this realm then?" Hor asked.
"To give you a series of instructions to follow for your tribe," Himlo replied.
"What are these instructions?" Hor asked.
"The instructions are simple. select the best out of your tribal warriors and give them each a marking of their choice"
"Why?" Hor probed.
"It's simple. These marks could give them more strength and power. However they must only be given to the strongest, the most versatile or useful from among your ranks. If not, then do not choose to give them these marks''
"But I can't see the marks," Hor said again.
"It's simple," said Himlo as he walked towards Hor and touched his forehead. How's eyes glowed for a while before they dimmed.
Within Hrr's memory, there were 6 different sorts of marks. "These are good ancestors," He complimented.
"Alright then" Himlo's figure began to dim and Hor's vision became blurry.
When he opened his eyes he saw himself back in the jungle all alone.
*Ding* Congratulations, you have been given 150 ounces of sensory energy and a new title called marker*
*With the marker title, you can design marks on your fellow tribesmen which will aid them and give them special features*
"That seems nice but what is sensory energy tho?" He thought.
"Oh well, I will talk about it with my ancestors when I can,"
After that, he then returned back to the tribe.
When morning came, the Harans gathered outside the house of the tribe leader. Eventually, Hor came out of his hut and addressed them, "I have news for you and that is the news that could potentially increase our tribe's power over the rest of the tribes" he said.
"What is it?" One of the Harans asked.
"I was given marks to bestow unto the Harans who are the best in our tribe. I have only a few in mind that have overshadowed their peers.
As for the rest of you, you will all have to work, train and become stronger to earn these marks!"
He then placed his hand on the ground and took a stick before he began to draw a picture of the 6 marks that had been given to him by Himlo when the entire tribe except those that he had chosen were left.
This activity would be known in their tribe as the mark giving and it will only be for the best of their members from there on.
Himlo actually made the marks by himself and they worked by transferring physical energy to the warriors who could absorb them.
The marks gathered energy faster and infused them into the bodies of the Harans who used them making them even stronger than they initially were.
Back in Shawn's location,
*Ding* Congratulations you have earned 1,800 CP for completing the energy quests*
*Ding* Congratulations you have earned 1,200 CP for witnessing a new change which is the the evolution of beliefs and cultures traditions*
"Hmmm. That is a good one. I think that I should start with creating a new continent" Shawn said as he looked at the map world.
"On second thought. How about I place a chain of islands for a new race?" he instantly changed his mind.
Shawn looked at the world of Ornio and saw a continent in the north, south and east and west (beast) continent. He decided to create a bunch of islands that were south of the eastern continent.
After creating the islands, He began wondering which race he could place there and thought of the races that had already been placed in the continent.
"System, can you show me the races in the world? It's hard to keep track, "
*Races
Goldorns - Northern Continent
Humans - Northern Continent
Elves - Northern Continent
Orcs - Northern Continent
Harans - Southern Continent.
Dwarves - Southern Continent.
Thorns - Southern Continent.
Mana Beasts - Western Continent.
"Hmmm!! System, can I add a new race?" he asked.
"Yes. However since it isn't part of the quests for this rank then the next rank with the quest will have less issue to fill"
Shawn looked at the race's interfaces and noticed that only kobold and goblins were left.
"Can I make a new race?" He asked.
*No you can't, your world is still in rank 3 and not yet developed, developed worlds have an higher amount of slots* The system replied.
"Ok, in that case I'll leave those two races. I have other plans for them" Shawn said.
"Also, I think that it's time to increase the world population," He added.
*Ding, you can increase the population of the world by creating a population boom which will cost 6,000 CP*
"What 6,000CP!!!!" Shawn exclaimed.
*Oh stop acting dumb, Money is to be spent unfortunately you can't store all your points cause they need to be. Hahaha*
"You are always trying to rip me off," Shawn said.
*And why are you always trying to act like a pauper*
"What are the benefits of this population boom, how does it work?" Shawn asked.
*Typically, the birth rate could be double, triple or quadrupled for a century at minimum. Each level only increases the cost as well as how long the time increases*
"So what am I paying for?" Shawn asked.
*Oh you're paying triple*
"Now I know that you are trying to rip me off," said Shawn.
*Well I just calculated and gave you the most suitable one with the current world population* the system said.
"What if it wasn't?"
*Then you could always ask*
"Explain the costs to me" Shawn said.
*Double for one century is 3,000CP, Triple is 5,000CP, Quadruple is 7,000CP. With an Increase of 50 years adds 500CP*
"So cost wise you gave me Triple for 200 years"
*Yes!!*
"I hate to say it, but it seems fair and like you read my mind" said Shawn before he proceeded to say "Initiate the population boom!" He said.
He heard the sounds of coins being withdrawn from in between his ears and saw his balance go from 15,975 CP to 9,975CP.
He looked at his quest bar and then the world info.

While scrolling through the quests he remembered that he hadn't completed the tasks of being addressed by the races.
"I've made up my mind," he said.
"For the races in the northern continent I want to be called the Eye that watches Worlds.
For the races in the western continent I want to be called the 'Being in the unknown'" He said.
*Ding, Congratulations you have earned 400 CP for your contribution of deciding how you will be addressed*
"Why is it 400CP?" He said.
*Because you only choose two names and not multiple, also it should have been 300 CP but the names are really long so an extra 100 CP was added* the system replied.
"Who knew that the system could be so generous?"
*I am generous, but sometimes you don't know how to spend wisely*
"And here we go again with the insults,"
"I think that I should really get on watching the other four races," He said.
But at that moment he heard another thing.
"Logging host out of the world in 3....2...1"
Good thing that Shawn had been prepared.
When he woke up, he wasn't prepared for what he saw next.
