Lively

With the arrival of the fairies, the desolated dull Sky Pillar was filled with laughter and warm atmosphere. Although Ebraham preferred calm and silent environment, he did not hate this lively atmosphere.

To accommodate the fairies, Ebraham decorated the opening area in the pillar with floras, small faunas, man-made rivers, and fake mountains. The opening area was very large, it was 3 hectares in size which approximately the size of 4 football fields. After the area was filled with nature, it was essentially an indoor city park.

There were walking trails that led towards various part of the park. At the centre of the park was the glowing magical liquid pillar with a magical liquid pond at the base of it. Surrounding the pond was a small lake with magic dividing them. The combination of small lake, magical liquid pond and trees provided a serene scene to onlookers.

Similar events also happened at the other three Sky Pillar in Northern Hemisphere after the arrival of fairies. Ebraham really gone all out when filling the Sky Pillars with nature. Each indoor park in Sky Pillar was designed with different natural settings exerting his creativity.

The only similarities were the glowing magical liquid pillar and magical liquid pond at the base of it. The magical liquid pond was filled with processed magical energy liquid which was beneficial to the fairies.

The floras were fruit trees and decorative flowers. The small faunas such as insects, squirrels, birds and fishes were kept to support the ecological function of the park. The ground was hallowed and filled with soil while systematic draining system was installed inside of it.

The water of small rivers and lakes came from the rain water collected by the Sky Pillar. With it size and height, the rain water collected by Sky Pillar was a lot even on daily basis which enough to create an artificial water source.

Ebraham created the rivers and lakes as a channel to discard the excess water after the water tanks were filled brim. The Sky Pillar could store high volume of water but doing so was pointless as current water consumption, other than irrigation in first Sky Pillar, was very low as almost mount to nothing. Furthermore, the water must be returned to nature to complete the water cycle of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

After the indoor parks were completed, the fairies were very happy. They were in a way could be deemed as the children of nature, so, they were very close to nature. With the indoor park, they could build their nest inside of Sky Pillar.

However, Ebraham had another plan. Based on the characteristics of fairies' nest, he systematically created small holes on the interior wall of Sky Pillar. Then, the holes were hidden with creeping vines that were installed on the wall.

The opening of the holes was sized just enough for the fairies to enter while the inside was much bigger. Lighting and ventilation inside of the holes was done with magic. Even with small and cramped space, Ebraham finished it with ease as he could mould Blood Obsidian into whatever shapes he desired. Creating intricate small hole was not a problem at all.

With the addition of ready-made dwelling, the fairies were in the cloud nine. They just needed to complete it with soft grass or warm pelt to fully furnish it. This saved them tons of effort to construct their nests.

The fairies hurriedly chose their preferred nest. Ebraham had constructed the nests more than triple of the total number of all fairies in this world. So, it was more than enough for the fairies to choose them in one Sky Pillar.

Speaking of Sky Pillars, Ebraham also done finishing the channels connecting the Sky Pillars in the Southern Hemisphere. Though he did not want to admit it, Ebraham actually had a mild OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) where he obsessed with symmetrical when building things.

Ever since coming to this world, his obsession had gone to the bigger scale. When he created something, it needed to be symmetrical at the world scale. Practicality or obsession, it was unknow which of it came first. Thankfully he could ignore the asymmetrical in smaller things as it would amount to nothing in the bigger picture.

Since he had added the channels in Northern Hemisphere, Ebraham could not stand the unbalance in Southern Hemisphere, so he installed on each Sky Pillar six channels facing six directions; three towards adjacent Blood Obsidian pillars, other three towards adjacent floating Axes.

The channels were not physically connected to any floating Axes or crossed Oria Oceana the chasmic ocean in the equator. They just connected within Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.

…

"Ebraham! Mother. Mother."

It had been a few days since the fairies arrived, so, they had met the working automata and the young woman in the Medical Capsule. They recognized the automata as non-living things at a first glance which showed the accuracy of their perception. But somehow, when they saw the young woman, they called her 'mother'.

Ebraham thought that maybe they knew that she was pregnant and will soon be a mother, so he did not dwell on it.

"Everyone, calm down. What happen?"

Ebraham asked the fairies while trying to calm them down.

"Something happened. The magical energy and the babies"

As they were panicking, their choice of vocabulary was very limited and they did not know how to explain it in a shortest period of time. It was much faster for Ebraham to see it himself.

By the insistent of the fairies, Ebraham went to look at the young woman. He could take a look at her at his current position, but that would appear as if he did not care of her well-being, so he physically went to the Medical Chamber.

The maid automata was just about to step out to find him when Ebraham arrived at the Medical Chamber.

"Master…"

She wanted to explained the situation, but Ebraham cut it and replied, "I was already informed about it."

'My goodness. The Imprint process and the development of special ability are completed at the same time. Her magical energy is at the peak of yellow-tier, much higher than I expected. Just where did this woman come from?'

Ebraham silently monologued in his mind as he examined the young woman.

Imprint process was a basic process as a creature with magical energy. If taking magical energy into one's body was illustrated as eating, Imprint process was the digestion, which processing the magical energy into one's magical pattern so that it would be stored and useable in the future.

As someone who did not have any magical energy, the young woman should be at the infant level after the initial Imprint process was completed. At this level, the colour of magical energy was white. But the colour of magical energy inside of the young woman had gone pass white and changed into yellow.

Based on the Magical Energy Colour Tier Index, white was the first tier while yellow was the second tier. For her to be at the peak of yellow tier meant that her body was unconsciously completed her first Compression process.

If human body was a cup, while the magical energy was the water inside the cup, Compression process was the process to change the water into denser liquid so that more water could be filled inside the cup. This process could be initiated every time the hypothetical cup was full and magical energy would be denser by each Compression.

The success of Compression process was indicated by the change in colour of magical energy. Based on the distinctive change in colour, a Magical Energy Colour Tier Index was made.

1st white tier, 2nd yellow tier, 3rd fire (yellow orange) tier, 4th orange tier, 5th crimson (red orange) tier, 6th red tier, 7th magenta (red violet) tier, 8th violet tier, 9th lilac (blue violet) tier, 10th blue tier, 11th denim (blue black) tier and lastly, 12th black tier.

The change in colour of magical energy turned from light to darker until black. For every three tiers, there was a major threshold that was hard to overcome which further divided the index into four categories; Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced and Master.

Legend said that there were higher tiers than the 12th black tier which was metallic tiers, but human had never achieved more than 12th black tier. Even Ebraham at the peak of his life in previous world was capped at 12th black tier which the same tier as other Great Sages.

While in this current life, Ebraham was not bounded by physical body to contained magical energy and he was sure that Blood Obsidian was off the chart of magical energy colour tier index. So, he did not know what come after the 12th black tier and verified the legend.

As for the development of special ability, every human was given this chance only once in their life time. Under normal circumstances, the magical energy inside of an infant would concentrate to a specific body part and develop into special ability generally based on the function of that body part. The special ability would be fully matured by the time of adulthood.

For example, the magical energy inside of young Ebraham concentrated to his brain which developed his mind-type special ability 'Ardent Mind'. If the magical energy concentrated to the eyeball, it might develop into a sight-type special ability. If it was legs, it might be movement-type special ability.

There were varieties of special abilities recorded in the database of Krudain Empire alone. The whole specific index might never be completed even after thousands of years. This was because the special ability was not hereditary in nature. Parents with the same special abilities might never be able to produce offspring with the same special ability. It was all depending on fate.

For this reason, by the time of adulthood, based on the power of their matured special ability, many people either reached the skies in a single bound or crashed to the ground in a single dive. This was a major turning point of their life.

But of course, that was just a commoner way of differentiating the special ability. There was no actual godly or trash special ability, it just people who know how to fully utilized the special ability or not. With proper training, even a seemed useless non-combat special ability could carry its user to the level of masters, while without proper training, even a powerful special ability could stun the growth of its user.

With the establishment of Royal Academy that teach systematic magic technique disciplines and martial arts, the common significance of special ability became secondary and had altered from main focus of one's growth to as an extra card in one's sleeve. Now, many people were more grateful to have a supporting special ability than a powerful combat ability.

In the case of the young woman, her special ability seemed to be related to a special type of magical energy and one of supporting type special ability. It also had been fully matured and showing its effect.

By the influence of the special ability, the twin babies in her womb were now growing at a fast pace. Initially, Ebraham had calculated that her full term would be at the at 30th of spring, but now, she might be in labour within a few days from now.
