Chapter 2: Comprehending the Law of Earth
"Quest? Good...good.. I will be comprehending the Earth Law at the same time earn a reward from the quest. Two birds in one stones. Hahaha..." I said to myself with a delightful expression.
"So system, how do I start? By the way system, can I just call you Crey? I think the name Crey will suit you well."
[Changing name to 'Crey'.]
[Crey is very thankful to User, Reid Blas, for giving Crey a name.]
"Oh....it's alright. You're welcome. So Crey, how do I start?" I asked syst...Crey once again.
[Just say the trigger word 'Comprehend' and the law that you're going to comprehend.]
"Ohh....so simple. Okay, let's start."
<Comprehend: Law of Earth>
As I said the trigger word, I start comprehending the Law of Earth.
«The concept of Earth is fundamental and deeply rooted within every human culture. Earth is our life-support system. Earth embraces the air above and it's climate, manage crops, forest, range and livestock; surface and groundwater; the foundation of rocks and soil; the lasting effect of terrain, terraces, irrigation, drainage works, and flood defences.»
After I did a little bit of thinking, Crey give me an update about my Law of Earth comprehension.
[Knowledge Level: Earth Law (27%)]
I got 27% in just a bit of comprehension about Law of Earth, and that's a good sign already.
As I want to finish the Earth Law already, I continued comprehending it.
«Earth is one of the four classical elements in Ancient Greek philosophy and science. It was commonly associated with the qualities of heaviness, matter, and terrestrial world.»
[Knowledge Level: Earth Law (52%)]
«In my previous life, Earth is the name of the celestial body or the planet on which we, humans live.»
[Knowledge Level: Earth Law (79%)]
"What? Crey, what happened? How come it jump so much from 52% to 79%?"
[Answering the User, the system is the one evaluating your knowledge about the law that you are comprehending. There are things that is already known by the system. And things that aren't known.]
[And you, User, saying that your previous planet is named after the Earth element is new to the system, that's why it gave you a high evaluation.]
"Ohh... it's like that. By the way, Crey, if I comprehend a certain law to completion, does that mean that I know all the mysteries about that law already?" I asked Crey.
[No, User. Once you have reach a 100% completion towards a law does not mean that you know everything about that law already. The percentage is only the evaluation of your understanding about that law, but it does not mean that you have grasp the mysteries of that law.]
[Once you reach 100%, you will be able to use magic using that law. And create something out of nothing using your understanding about that law. A 100% understanding will also give you a unique abilities that only you can use.]
"Now I understand much, much better ! Thank you Crey, for the answer."
[Welcome, User.]
After my doubts and questions are answered, I start comprehending again.
«While each of the four element is integral to life and survival. Earth is most connected to the physicality of life.»
«Earth isn't aggressive, it is receptive.»
«There is quality of strength and endurance Earth possesses that is an indomitable force. At the same time, there is peacefulness that is connected to the Earth element. Earth can be passive but by no means weak.»
[Knowledge Level: Earth Law (89%)]
"Shit!" I've already ransack my brain for all the things I know about Earth yet, it is not enough.
"Come on Reid....think.... think."
«Hmm..... Without Earth, we would have nothing that will hold us up. No foundation. No base. No support. No life. Because Earth is attuned to form and matter.»
«Back on my previous life, there is a saying that 'Earth is Life'.»

"Yes...Hoooooo.....I did it.....Hahaha..."
I laugh and laugh amidst the notification because of the pure happiness that I am feeling right now. Well, I just achieve a grand achievement that is worthy of celebration, you know. So, can't help myself but to laugh out loud. Haha...
Ransacking my brain and squishing all the knowledge that I know about Earth is not an easy work you know. And now, I taste my fruit of labor. Haha...
—————
After I finish laughing and stabilize myself, I asked Crey on what to do next.
[User should use the ‹Create› skill to create Earth or land. Use ‹Create› skill again to create Earth Law Sphere and then integrate it to your land that you have created already.]
[Be reminded that using ‹Create› skill will consume Creation points.]
"What! ‹Create› skill will consume CP."
[Yes.]
"Then how can I earn Creation Points without comprehending a law or completing a quest?" I asked Crey.
[Don't worry, User. All of your creation have a force or energy that is unique only to your creation. This force is called 'Creation Force'. The creation force will generate a certain amount of CP.]
"Now I'm relived. Thanks Crey."
[Welcome User]
—————
Now that I have 100% comprehension in the Law of Earth, it is now time for me to create the base foundation of my soon to be world.
Before I start the creation of Earthland, I stabilize myself first. And then I concentrate...
‹Create: Earth›
BOOOMMMMMM.....
A loud explosion and rumbling can be heard in the surrounding space.
It feels like a huge earthquake is happening right now. The space around feels like it is moving even though it is not.
BOOOMMMMMM.....
BOOOMMMMMM.....
BOOOMMMMMM.....
Three continuous explosion happened before a speck of sand appear in the middle of the space.
That speck of sand enlarge it's size to an island in the blink of an eye. But, it did not stop enlarging itself.
From the size of an island to a size of a country.
From the size of a country to a big continent.
A big land at the size of a continent floating in a space appear in front of me.
But, that continent looks like barren.
There is nothing in there. No grass. No trees. Even a small insects are not present. In short there is no life. It only looks like a patch of a big land.
"Crey, what happened? Why does it looks barren."
[User, you only used ‹Create› skill to create an Earthland, that's why it still look likes barren land, with no life. User need to create the Earth Law Sphere and integrate it to the Earthland to give life to grass, tree, and other lifeforms.]
"So it's like that. Hmm...."
‹Create: Earth Law Sphere›
BOOOMMMMMM.....
Another explosion happen. And the Earth element generated by my magic are gathering in the middle of the barren continent.
—————
Time passed by.
And on top of the middle of the barren continent, a speck of brownish light can be seen condensing into a small sphere. After some time, the brownish Earth element finished condensing and at the middle of the continent, a small sphere can be seen. It is the Earth Law Sphere.
You can feel the heaviness of the Earth Law Sphere as if it weighs a million pound even though it is just a small size ball.
You can also feel that it is full of vitality. Full of life.
"Integrate." I shout on top of my lungs. Excited on what will be the outcome after the Earth Law Sphere integrate to the barren continent.
And as if the Earth Law Sphere understand me, it slowly descend into the continent and fully integrated into it.
Using the naked eye, you can see that the barren land is slowly giving life to small grasses and trees.
Different plants are slowly growing in the whole continent. The whole continent is slowly growing as well.
Hills and mountains of different sizes are slowly growing. The barren land before, now looks like a paradise. Full of life. Different plants and trees are swaying as if they are dancing. The hills and mountains stand tall, looking down on all beings beneath it.
