12 The Power of the Kingdoms

Qin Linkas it fell through a tunnel, could see hundreds of bright stars filling the entire tunnel with their light.

His fall lasted several minutes before he saw with his eyes a gigantic golden door and in it were seen the images of hundreds of very realistic carved stars.

This great door opened for him and being mowed down by the incredible brightness of the door, he could only feel his body crash into the ground, ending his journey through the tunnel.

"Ouch… lightning like the magical and beautiful journey ends up just crashing into the cold and metal floor. The designer must fix that now star."

{will send the request to the system to fix Link. }

Qin Link stopped rubbing his sore body from the blow, at Star's literal response to his joke. A smile appeared on his face followed by a gentle laugh.

"Haha… Thank you Star. Now it's time to find out where I am. You have some idea."

He looked around and could see that he was inside a metallic room with no window of a size greater than 80 square meters. Inside were several children aged 6 to 10 years.

He could see that most of the boys and girls inside this metal room were crying and screaming out loud for help, Some only showed expressions of fear on their faces as they struggled to contain their tears and screams.

Some of the children were together in groups of 2 to 5 people, maybe they were family or united because of the fear they felt about their entire situation.

There were those angry children who screamed and hit the metal walls like crazy and the quiet ones who were just sitting on the floor rested their backs against the walls conserving energy and watching the other children the most possible that they were.

But Qin Link didn't pay much attention to all the faces of these children.

Not his eyes looked up at their heads where small white, red and green state windows could be seen rubbing over them.

[Hyōgo Itō: Apprentice-2 Stars. ]

[Yui Sayama: Apprentice-2 Stars. ]

[Iroha Samurai: Apprentice-2 Stars.]

[Kitana Edenia: Apprentice-2 Stars. ]

[Spirits Mine: Apprentice-2 Stars. ]

[Billy Kane: Apprentice-2 Stars. ]

[Lilly Kane: Apprentice-1 Stars. ]

Of the 69 children that Qin Link could count inside this room, previous solos had a 2 star realm like him, the others owned a 1 star realm like Lilliy Kane.

Using your mind to communicate with Estrella, Qin Link asked you the meaning of color in the state windows above the children's heads.

{This is a system function, generating a status window to evaluate every living thing you observe, you can imagine it as a video game.}

{The color in the window, has the function of explaining a person's emotional state to you, showing its meaning through the color of the window. White being neutral, the person with that color has no positive or negative feelings towards you. }

{Red is for enemies, as they feel negative feelings towards you and the darker the red, the greater the "hatred" that person actually feels towards you. }

{The green window is for allies, it shows positive feelings as the "friendship" that person feels towards you. The window will also provide the name and combat realm. }

(But tell me at what level of strength each realm corresponds.)

{I am so sorry, I forgot to explain that to you. I will proceed to inform you about the combat realm. Every human or animal will always be evaluated by the system, no matter how high or low its power is. }

{The Apprentice Kingdom consisting of 10 stars. 1 star represents the possible physical power level of a normal healthy child, 2 stars is for a teen and 3 stars for an adult. Small animals like mice, cats and dogs would enter these levels. }

{A person with 4 to 6 stars has the physique compared to an ordinary soldier to an elite soldier, 7 to 9 stars are people who would be comparable to true Olympic level athletes and finally the person with 10 stars would have the physical ability of a martial arts movie character being able to dodge even bullets. }

(So what happens with people who have surpassed the tenth star and reached the master kingdom.)

{A person in the Master realm his strength enters a higher league. Since having only 1 to 3 stars he had discovered the energy sleeping inside his body, in this world that energy would be called Ki. The Ki would allow that person to equal a protagonist or final villain of martial arts film, could also be compared with large animals like bears or lions. }

{From 4 to 6 stars are people who can eject Ki from their body to destroy solid concrete walls with their fists or would be people with physicists comparable to larger animals such as elephants or giant sharks. }

{From 7 to 9 stars are people who can control the Ki inside their bodies and can use it to destroy metal walls only using their fingers, they can be compared to extremely large animals like whales. }

{A 10 star teacher is at the top of the food chain of a common world like this, as they control the Ki of their bodies to perfection. Would be comparable to a ballistic missile. }

Listening to the description of the power of the combat realms, Qin Link was very excited.

(Then tell me how to increase my realm of power, star.) {The answer is in your master statistics. }

"My statistics!"

Yelling his words out loud all the children inside the room turned to see Qin Link, but they quickly stopped paying attention to him thinking that he was another child who went mad like many others because of the pressure of his situation.

{Yes, it is. To increase your realm of power you need to increase your statistics, more specifically you need to have 100 points in two of your six statistics to reach the 10-star human realm. }

{Your vitality and intelligence are 20 points or more without being augmented by a team. Reason why you have the 2-star human kingdom. }

{If you want to reach the 3-star human realm you must raise your vitality and intelligence to 30 points each. Then by going up to 100 points, the pair of statistics you will reach the highest level of the human realm. But in the master realm to reach the highest level you need to have 1000 points. Increasing by 100 points each pair of statistics by the level of stars of the realm I cross. }

(Well I understand everything. It's time for me to move and get some information.)

Arriving in front of a 6 year old girl, sitting on the floor with her head tucked into her arms and a white kimono that was dirty and something torn.

"Excuse me. Can we talk a little?" Qin Link asked with a smile, to this girl with the dark green status window.
