Exploration

As the lion cub was explaining everything to me, I continued to look around and enjoy the wind's embrace as well as the glistening water running to my feet. There is no beginning and end in space. I am just simply here. We walked towards the house which appears big enough to be a four-bedroom house made of concrete and limestone. There is a set of fixed glass windows, Four feet wide by five feet high at the front left and right side of the house. This allows for natural lighting to flow into the house.

 A Wide Crystal Chandelier with Clear Royal Cut Crystals glitters from above our head as we enter the front door. There is about 10 feet of empty space leading to a floating stone staircase made from French limestones. About five feet to the right of the floating stairway appears an open door leading to the dining room. The door is of a dark reddish-brown color from polished mahogany. The room is about 250 meters with a twin pedestal mahogany table. The mahogany table has a gorgeous dark reddish-brown color adding both grace and elegance to the dining room. The right wall has a dark reddish 75" mahogany bar cabinet filled with different types of wine and wine glass. As a wine lover, I walked straight towards the wine cabinet staring at them. There were all kinds of wines, from different flowers and fruits. Some of the names I couldn't even read as they seemed to be in a different language. As I kept looking at the different wines and, in the cabinet, Cephirah started to explain as I could not see the door to open the wine cabinet. 

"These are special wines and cannot be drunk casually as they utilize spring water from space. There is a collection of wine from all over the world, and more will be available to purchase when you have unlocked the store functions. These wines all have different benefits. Majority of them can help with cultivation, increasing different status, elements, improving the bones and helping with sickness. The process may therefore be painful unless you have awakened. As someone with a system, you will be able to develop different kinds of abilities, some of which others will be unable to. Different wines will be available to you once you have started your quests, but only ones that can be drunk at your current levels. As you level up, you will be able to get more options. Because the wines carry the taste of wines in the world as you know it, you may still get tipsy, however you will never be drunk or have a headache due to the health benefits they contain." 

The cabinet has a removable black glass workstation for preparing drinks. There is also a glass holder at the top of the cabinet to provide additional storage to the gridded wine racks at the base. The cabinet has durable hinges to give the doors a smooth feel. The large mahogany table is also complete with a set of 10 Mahogany upholstered slat back chairs with intricate carvings. 

To the left of the dining room leads to a wide kitchen around 700 square feet with plenty of cupboards, a dark marble island, an electric-like stove and a refrigerator and freezer unit. The stove is black in color, as is the double door freezer/refrigerator. As I walk inside the kitchen I am in awe at the sleek and modern look it has. As someone who loves dark colors, I appreciate the light/dark contrast between the furniture and the white wall. "This is like my dream kitchen" I say to cephirah as I spin around, looking at everything inside. There is a double-sided island with cabinets on both sides. The side closer to the sink houses waste, and has a large microwave, it offers more drawer space for everyday storage. The back of the island has cabinets tucked under the overhang for additional storage. There is a granite slab that appears light, almost as if it's floating towards the cabinets. I open some of the cabinets and notice that there are already a few sets of pots and pans, as well as utensils, plates, bowls and cups. The kitchen also has a door on the opposite side of the dining room leading into a large walk-in pantry, about the size of a small closet. It does not appear as if there are any outlets, and I'm unsure how the appliances are powered.

 "How are these able to work?" I asked as I turned to Cephirah. 

"At this moment that cannot be explained, but you will learn it soon. Some knowledge can only be gained after certain amounts of time", she responded. I nodded my head before turning away.

I notice a mahogany bookshelf bordering the kitchen and dining room. The bookcase is both wide and tall, almost covering a section of the wall. "This" I say out loud as I walk towards it. As a lover of books this is the most excited, I have ever been. "Cookbooks?" I exclaimed. 

"These are collections of the world's most famous food, ranging from the smallest villages to the biggest cities. You can learn about food from every culture, race and ethnicity throughout the planet's history. Although these are books, you have the option to automatically learn everything within the pages; they will be etched into your mind when you open them. The best way to describe it, is that the knowledge will be transferred from the book into your mind. You will only be to do so once a day for now, as it requires a lot of mental power for the imprinting to occur. You can also read them at your own leisure and practice them as you normally would. All knowledge transferred is infinitely stored in the mind and can be recalled at will.

You will have the potential to learn different crafts, from medicine to weapons, fighting skills to music and almost every profession that exists on the planet. The amount of knowledge you will be able to learn will be based on how much mental power you will have and how much knowledge you can absorb. Even if you cannot learn everything, you will be able to share the knowledge with those you wish to. Some knowledge will be able to become transplanted, and others may need to be read. The level of books and the amount you will be able to access will depend on the level you have gained. Currently you are able to read level one books, as they will be based on different levels. Intermediate books can only be used when you have reached at least level 15." Explained Cephirah. "Wow!" I stand in awe at all that I'm learning and seeing. 

"When your space reaches level 10 you will unlock a store feature, you will be able to purchase items from plants to groceries, as well as items and weapons. You will need to collect points in exchange for those items. There will be monsters in the future which will have items and drops inside them, cores, and parts of them that you will be able to use. Some items will be locked and can only be accessed after you've reached a certain level" cephirah said as she stood next to me. 

"This sounds fantastic, like something straight out of a book or game." I spoke. "I really can't believe something like this is happening to me". I've always been a loner. Someone submerged in fiction and not belonging. I've always felt abandoned as if I'm someone looking in at the world but not of it. 

'This is my second chance' I think. 'Perhaps this is why I've always felt abandoned. Because what I'm experiencing now, seems like a hope and a chance to be reborn, to be recognized and to be and to do more'.

After I leave the kitchen, I walk back to the front entrance by the stairs. I walk up the floating staircase, about 20 stairs with a mahogany railing with Cephirah trailing beside me. As we arrive at the top of the stairs I see about 5 sets of doors. I enter the door closest to the stairs and it appears to be a master bedroom. A large king size bed appears before me with a dark blue bamboo comforter spread on it. The room itself is plain with a window facing the foot of the bed. I head towards the window, but I am unable to see anything but gray fog outside. "I wonder what the view will be like," I said. Cephirah looks outside the window and says when I reach level two, I will be able to see some of it. That knowledge causes me to smile widely.

"As you level up more land will be available within the space and the gray fog will slowly recede as the surrounding starts to unlock it. In fact, it's not wrong to say that this is an entirely different world in itself" she said to me.
