First Mission Part 1

Lex knew that this reality similar to his previous reality was incredibly large, but also knew that similar to his past life everyone was still ignorant to how wide the world actually is, and despite having this knowledge he was too weak to act on it.

[This continent is much more powerful than the sub-dimension I was in in my past reality, but the line between levelling and cultivation is still blurred even though in this reality it is more developed] he observed.

There was less developed technology, but knew how to access energy and was much stronger than his past reality.

[Maybe when I am stronger or find a place with abundant energy and when my mind is capable and I reach LVL 100 and get the Mortal Elemental Ascension Method again, I can be the first official cultivator on the continent] he plans.

However, as he thought about it he realised that the line between levelling and cultivation was blurred and the baseline was that you use energy to strengthen yourself and your power, so Lex decided not to let what are called 'Cultivation or Levelling laws' restrict him.

In both realities the two types of levelling with either strengthen them internally or externally, but to cultivate energy internally you need a Power to use as the base of your energy storages.

Cultivation, levelling or whatever gaining strength is called, Lex found that they all used energy to temper their body or energy storages and found that they all had the same routes, but all had their own restrictions, but what if he could break past all the restrictions.

[But I mustn't get ahead of myself as I am currently a mere ant in this world] he refutes his wild thoughts as he walks towards the mission board.

He could see missions ranging from F to D rank and knew he was only allowed to take F-Rank missions.

Looking at all the F-Rank missions Lex calculated that if he did the 167 missions that he could see in this base he would be able to amass a total of 13,210 spirit coins, which was a massive amount of money for the outer country and with it he could buy a house if he wanted to.

Lex takes three that he knew were closest to his current location and walks back to the counter.

He was getting ridiculing looks from the rest of the hunters, which he ignored.

Although his killing intent was impressive he was still only LVL 1 which was nothing on this continent and even farmers could be a higher LVL through consistent work.

Taking the three sheets, she signs them off and stamps them with a weird stamp that was absorbed by the paper-like material.

"You have now accepted 3 F-Rank missions with a one-week deadline, your initial payment is 230 spirit coins. If the missions are not completed on time, you must return the initial payment and it will be on your record, which is public to those looking for Voltacs and the guild itself," states the woman who hands him back the three sheets.

With the three sheets in hand, Lex had nothing to wait for and left straight away to do his mission.

"First up a hunter mission, there is a wild dog beast that is around LVL 3 that is rushing around in the outer slum area, which a family want to be killed and want the dog's head as proof," he mumbles.

This was the easiest mission that he saw, and it was conveniently not far away.

After having accepted the mission, he had a formal blood contract where he would attempt to complete it, which also gave him a rough idea where the target was.

Feeling the connection got stronger the more he went to the east of the beast Lex knew that he would find the general location of the mission in that area.

There was so much he didn't understand such as how the mission paper and the guild in general worked, but Lex decided not to pry until he was strong enough physically and mentally to understand and protect himself.

Rushing off in the direction he planned to take as many missions as he could and on this hunting mission, he would get the reward, battle but would also be able to keep the beast core after defeating the dog beast as all the mission initiators wanted was the head.

Lex knew that wealth was something he always lacked and the only way he amassed it was through looting those he defeated, which he decided wasn't sufficient and if he had clean income, he would be able to buy all the resources he needed.

The Voltiac Guild not only aligned with his aims but also gave him something he lacked in his past life. A power behind him that would help him and support him if he is beneficial, which is why he was trying so hard to prove himself.

In the dark of the night was a hooded figure wearing white robes running through the streets.

[I am nearby, and should now begin to search the area for the dog beast, and complete this mission as quickly as I can to complete other missions] he plans.

Lex was in the outer parts of the outer country and most of it was made up of slums or cheap housing, which got better the closer to the centre of the country.

The area that the dog beast was last seen was in this area and was known to steal food and attack and eat lone children, and it reached a point that all the people stepped up and saved enough to be able to afford an F-Rank mission request and with the Voltiac Guild's reputation, they knew they would complete the task.

Lex ran between the rustic and disoriented slum houses which reminded him of where he lived in his past reality. After running through the dark alleyways for almost half an hour Lex was beginning to lose the hope of finding the dog beast tonight.

"Help" screams the voice young girl nearby.

Instantly Lex bolts off in that direction.

Lex despite having committed to his new lifestyle of survival of the fittest and only caring about those he loves, he still couldn't suppress his righteous nature.

Similar to the Originator Eye Demon that now fused with his soul and Lex could feel it and was trying his best to keep it under control.

Still at LVL 1, despite being experienced in battle, he still had an average mortal body and a small amount of weak energy.

Sharply turning a corner to his from where he heard the scream, he sees a small girl in the corner of a closed of alleyway crying, with a large brown dog creeping up on her while licking its lips.

"Ashura distract it" orders Lex sternly as he withdraws a plain metal sword from his inventory.

The black raven that sat on his shoulder, launched off of Lex's shoulder as it flew at the dog beast.
