[ Name- Serena Van Roseletta. Level 1, Apprentice Cultivator ]
Serena heard the system notifications and grinned as she travelled in the metaship towards the abandoned star. She could now start getting powerful without any obstacles from the royal family.
"Hey system, how do I cultivate in the abandoned star? Isn't it the most toxic planet with the most dangerous criminals thrown there to die?"
"Host, Abandoned Star is indeed full of toxic gases and the most mutated plants and animals, making it almost inhabitable, but those mutations are actually beneficial for you. Through cultivation you can refine the poisons into powerful potions and can consume the immense energy in the mutated plants and animals and store in in your dantian, and then cultivate the energy to level up and become stronger."
'Ok, but how do I start cultivating? And how am I going to achieve much in 25 years, doesn't cultivation take hundreds or thousands of years?'
"Well, normally it does, but this is where my presence makes the difference. I am like a cheat code for you. I'll help you achieve in months what a normal practitioner achieves in hundreds of years."
' That's nice, but what do you get out of this all? Why are you so desperately helping me become stronger?' Serena finally asked the doubt in her heart.
" Haha! Because your success is my success, host. The more powerful and successful you become, the more points I earn, and then lead the scoreboard."
"Oh, we're here I guess, that's the abandoned star planet, our new home. Wait why isn't this metaship's speed reducing, it'll crash at this rate and it'll be our meat patty that'll reach there, not us! Aaaahhhhh! 004 do something!'
Boom! While Serena and 004 were chatting, they didn't notice the brake failure at the start of the journey. And in the end, the metaship crashed into abandoned star. After the smoke and dirt settled, 004 forced Serena to gain consciousness and after half an hour's hardwork she finally managed to get out of the broken and battered metaship.
Getting out of the metaship she was about to speak to the system when she heard a soft voice behind her, "Hey, are you alright?"
She turned back to see a man...no a mer about two heads smaller than her, his pink hair was cut short to reach his shoulders which surprised her as the mers here loved long hair. He had beautiful sapphire coloured eyes which complemented his vermilion mark, but his skin had turned a bit yellow due to lack of nutrition. She watched him as his eyes widened on seeing her and a light blush instantly appeared on his cheeks. 'Cute!'
"Yes he is and something even better is that his inner energy is very much compatible with yours along with his powerful dormant meta core."
' What's compatible inner energy?'
"Means that if you cultivate with him, it'll be very beneficial for you."
' You're asking me to have sex with a person I just met?'
"No host, having sex is definitely one of the best and most efficient ways of cultivation, but it's not the only way. If you both cultivate together then it'll be very beneficial for both of you, but even his mere presence and proximity is beneficial for your cultivation. This energy is also a reason why a single glance was enough to captivate you both with each other."
'Oh, that's another crazy news!'
