As Gun was walking through the cave, he started to notice how big it actually was. "This cave is massive now that I got away from the living quarters, wait, did I close the door to the living quarter's?" Gun then turned around and looked at the door which he just came from. Noticing that it was closed, he turned back and started walking.
Gun walked deeper into the cave, the darkness enveloping him. His footsteps echoed, bouncing off the distant walls, making the cave seem even more expansive. The ceiling soared above him, almost disappearing into the shadows. He noticed the sheer size of the cavern, its vastness both awe-inspiring and a bit daunting.
As he ventured deeper, the stalactites and stalagmites grew denser, creating natural sculptures that loomed over him. He noticed hidden alcoves and winding paths, each hinting at untold stories. The air was damp, carrying the earthy scent of the cave. Despite its grandeur, the cave felt like it held countless secrets, waiting to be discovered.
As Gun emerged from the cave, he found himself high up in the mountains. Before him stretched a massive forest, its vast expanse teeming with life. The trees stood tall and ancient, their canopies swaying gently in the wind. Among the thick foliage, formidable beasts roamed—massive, scaled creatures with razor-sharp claws, winged beasts soaring above with piercing eyes, and hulking, four-legged predators prowling the underbrush. The forest was a land of raw power and primal beauty, a stark contrast to the dark solitude of the cave he had just left.
"I guess this really is a fantastical world looking at the creature's of this world it seems that I will have to start cultivating sooner than later if I am to survive and live in this place also it seems I am quite far off from civilization. I should start climbing the mountain, I need to reach the highest peak to start cultivating. The higher the altitude the denser the ki this should also be the case for this world too."
Gun climbed from the cave entrance, his mind fixated on a single goal: reaching the peak where the Qi was densest. The rocky path twisted upwards, but Gun was indifferent to the beauty around him. Each step brought him closer to the summit, his muscles burning but his resolve unwavering.
Reaching the top, he found himself overlooking a vast forest below, teeming with wild beasts. Yet, these sights held no significance for him. Gun's focus was on the Qi, feeling its density in the air. He settled into a meditative stance, ready to cultivate. Drawing the powerful Qi into himself, he began the intense process of forming his dantian, harnessing the peak's energy with fierce determination. The world around him faded; his only concern was cultivating his inner power.
Three days passed as Gun was still in his meditative pose, he suddenly opened his eyes. After he opened his eyes he called out to his status, all of a sudden a black screen with white text appeared in front of him.

"Martial Initiate, what's that. Back on earth, we just used to say realm 1 or martial student system explain."
[ Due to you having accesses to elemental Qi or Mana due to that the first realm is 1.5 times stronger than in your previous world it's name got changed due to that]
"Wait if elemental Ki is that much stronger than why couldn't we cultivate it in my previous world."
[In your previous life, the energy of the universe was merely neutral Qi, preventing the cultivation of any elemental powers. Even if you had desired to harness an element's, the nature of that neutral Qi simply made it impossible. Attempts at cultivation would slowly drain and destabilize the universe's energy, ultimately leading to its destruction. This is also the reason why Earth was obliterated]
[This universe, being four quintillion times larger than your previous one, holds a vast abundance of energy. Unlike your former universe, the immense scale ensures that cultivation will not deplete its resources. You can harness elemental energies here without worrying about destabilizing or destroying the universe. The opportunities for growth and power are boundless in this new world and also whenever someone dies in this universe it replenishes its lost energy by taking back what the deceased borrowed]
As Gun processed the revelations from his system, he was struck with a profound sense of shock. Though he couldn't remember every detail of his previous life, the knowledge that his past universe's neutral Qi had led to earth destruction was staggering. The realization that Earth's downfall was due to this imbalance hit him hard.
As Gun was still trying to process what the system just told him, he asked "system is this just the only realm of power to have its name changed"
[It's only the first and second realm that have changed names from your previous life also due to you being the only martial artist in this world you can choose to name them your self also for the realm's that you didn't have in your previous life the system named them itself]
"I'll go with whatever you're calling them, can I have the names of all the martial realms plus cultivation stage"
[ sure user ]

"HOLY SHIT HOW MANY FUCKING REALMS ARE OUT THERE!!!" Gun exclaimed. " System are you sure I can reach all those realms, I feel like I got reincarnated in Dragon Ball Z instead because what the fuck is this power scaling bullshit. " The reason why he thought this was that back in his previous life, the average person in the second realm could be compared to a hydrogen bomb and people in the third realm could blow up entire continents not to mentions people like gun in the fourth realm who could straight up blow up and destroy a moon or a planet.
By that logic, people in the fifth realm should be able to blow up a sun or a small solar system. Someone in the sixth realm should be strong enough to destroy a nebula. He could not even begin to imagine how strong someone in those higher realms could be. As gun was trying to wrap his head around the power he may one day attain he suddenly took a deep breath and asked. "System you told me you where not some divine being so how do you know things like how big the universe is or how many realms a martial artist could achieve?"
Asked gun while still reeling from the shocking revelation's the system just told.
[ I don't know user, i was just preprogrammed with the Knowledge]
" Wait if you're preprogrammed with the knowledge, how do you know about the martial realms you just said that the martial path does not exist in this world. You know what ill stop asking question's ill just go with the flow. Now let's go hunt something to eat, cuz cultivating for three days straight sure does leave your stomach empty. "
[.......]
Gun then looked below at the forest, trying to see if he could find a beast or a monster on his realm there were plenty of beasts from the second to third realm, gun did not wish to become their dinner by provoking them or crossing paths. As he was searching he suddenly found it was a wolf like creature with two paws at the front and two paws sticking out the side of it's body like a spider it hinged legs were bigger than all of it's paws by a large margin, lastly the creature had two bison horns on it's head and its eyes were a putrid green color the fur of the creature had a green brown striped pattern on it.
It was currently banging its head on a tree trying to shake off the fruits off of it. " Well, looks like we got dinner. It's all the way down close to the foot of the mountain, it shouldn't be hard to get there. " Gun then jumped of the mountain falling straight in the direction of the creature's head as he was about half a meter away from its head and without the creature ever noticing gun then proceeded to preform an axe kick striking the creature on it's head.
BOOM!!!!
The head of the creature got flattened due to gun using Qi to strengthen his leg and the momentum of the fall to preform the kick. Gun then ripped open the creature chest, trying to find its beast core. After a couple of seconds of searching, he found it as he grabbed a neon green orb he asked.
" Yo system how do i absorb this or make use of it. " Back in Gun's world people would not be able to consume a beast core raw it had to be refined in to Qi pills, or it could be used to create medicine and or elixirs only a few individuals could turn it into something useful.
[ User can absorb it directly if you eat on of those fruits from that tree infront of you or the system can use beast core's to increase you're physicle base stat point's ]
" Ive been meaning to ask you what's the point in raising stat point's if i could also raise my stats by simply cultivating? "
[ User may not know this but for every realm you break through exulding the first realm in your previous life your base stat points will be timed by 2 except the first realm currently only times your stats by 1.5 times your cultivation's stats that are put under bracket's won't be timed by 2 they will simpely increase like you would normally expect]
" Their has to be a catch otherwise people can just expliot this to become unimaginable stronger in a relativly short time. "
[ correct user their is not a limit to the amount of stats you can raise but the higher your stats the longer it will take to break through a higher realm add on to this the fact that from the 6 realm onwards it might take centuries just to braek through already only if you have the longevity can you actually afford to raise your sats like that]
Alright before i take my prey back to the living quarters and cook it let's see what that gift is you were talking about.
[ Congratulation's user has recieved the memory of the current body you're using]
Wait what!?
As gun said that all of a suddenly everything turned black.
