Uproar in the Relyc city.

Even though it is not his real body that he currently resides in, Felix still wanted to take revenge in the real body owner's stead.

After all, he felt like that he lived the real owner's life after assimilating the memories of the previous owner.

That's why when he got transmigrated, the first thing that he did was to take care for Ron, because that's also the first thing that the real owner will do.

'Don't worry Felix, I will avenge you…' Felix promised in his heart, remembering all of the horrendous treatment of everyone in the city and his family.

Without a moment preparation, Felix felt a popping sound in his core, which was also heard by Ron.

[Breakthrough to the 6th level of mana gathering realm.]

Felix felt that his core got smaller, condensing the mana within. Alongside this, he also felt like his strength got doubled.

'Such ability is such a cheat.'

Ron looked at Felix in while praising his brother.

[Ability unlocked: Absorption barrier

Description: Whenever an impure mana from the atmosphere touch the barrier, it will be immediately transferred to the owner's core, but the impurities will be immediately transferred somewhere in The Host's Virtual space.]

Felix happily gave a thumbs up to the system in his mind, and instantly saw the barrier appear out of thin air.

It is approximately 3 meters in diameter, with him being at the center. The other half of the barrier is overlapping with the roof of the building he is sitting on.

For some reason, he noticed that the mana being transferred from the lower part of the sphere is a tad more than what he gets with the exposed part of the sphere, but it didn't get his attention that much.

He closed his eyes and saw pure traces of mana being teleported to his core.

He zoomed out from the core and saw the digital version of himself.

A nude and muscular man is on the exact position like him, just like what he'd seen at first. But since he broke through, his physique definitely looked more refined.

He has long and messy black hair, which signifies it was left unkempt for a long period of time. The length is a bit longer than the hair of the average woman in his past lives.

If he checked himself in the virtual space 2 hours earlier, when he just woke up, he'd probably see a pale and thin man filled with wounds and pus.

But not now, his skin is flawless, no scratches are visible. His physique is what a peak athlete back on earth would probably dream off. Also, he got taller which is one of his dream back in earth, reaching 6 feet from the initial 5 feet and 5 inch.

Ever since he was dumped by his family, his height was stumped because of the lack of nutrients.

Back on earth, he was often ignored because of his height, making him do the menial task in the part time jobs just because he does not have the ability to impress girls by reaching the top of the bookshelves, so he noticed the difference of how humans treat other humans just based on their height.

That's why being taller gave him a ton of confidence.

His face on the other hand, although it used to be pale and thin,it got a lot better, the dozens of crooked teeth are replaced by a set of clean white teeth. His facial aura even exudes the same aura as when you look at a main characters of a lot of anime. Although he still looked like the initial felix, his face definitely got a thousand times better, based on his opinion.

As for his sleeping dragon…

There's no need to talk about it….

Although he can freely morph his body by just using the composition of his other body parts, he didn't do it, or to be more specific, he can't do it yet.

The reason is that he doesn't have an enough understanding of the human body, if he changes something crucial, it will have a lot of effects, most likely, harmful things.

What if he accidentally morphed a normal protein into a prion?

Although he tried to directly order the system to do it like, "Make my memory better," the digital conversion system said that he doesn't have enough knowledge on what is a better memory is, therefore, the system can't do something outside of his knowledge. That's why he concluded that the system is limited by his own ignorance.

To make his memory better, he needs to have enough knowledge on the difference of brain between a person with photographic memory, and a person with a gold fish memory. Then he can copy the structure of the neurons of the brain of the desired person, and morph his own brain. But even then, it would be still dangerous because each brain is unique, and that structure might not work for his brain.

Felix opened his eyes after getting a better understanding of his body.

"You can't see the barrier?" Felix said to Ron after noticing that Ron didn't seem to notice anything at all, except for his breakthrough to the 6th level if mana gathering realm.

"What barrier?"

Ron reciprocated a question instead, puzzled with what his brother meant.

There are no barriers here at all!

Ron pondered in his mind.

Felix just nodded and thought, 'It's probably a good thing if other people can't see it. I don't want to gather unnecessary attention and inquiries.'

Felix then said to Ron, "I got a new ability where I can increase my mana absorption."

"Really! That's so cool!" Ron thought, and got even more bewildered by his brother.

His brother got so powerful in an instant, how can he, as Felix's sworn brother, not be happy?

Felix then looked at Ron's robe and asked, "Can you tell me your robe is mine?"

Felix wanted to also fix Ron's robe and make it more fit for him, but the system said that he can only convert the things that he own.

Ron didn't ask anything anymore and said, "The robe is yours!"

Felix nodded and asked the system to convert it and put it to the digital space. the next instant, The digital version of the robe spawned on the virtual space.

Seeing that it worked without the system telling him that it had successfully converted it, he smiled.

Now, he knows that the system is adapting and knows that the host doesn't always need to hear the progress of the given task.

What a good system!

Felix thought…

Felix then entered the virtual space using his mind, and subconciously thought of the robe.

The robe teleported to him, or probably, he teleported to the robe, he doesn't know, there's no reference to be used.

The symbols of the background does not move, even if when he traveled a lot here already. That's why he can't use it as a frame of reference.

After seeing that the tattered robe is already in front of him, he subconsciously thought of the previous prompt he used for his own robe.

Instantly, the robe immediately changed to pristine looking, just like his own robe.

In fact, he intuitively know that he can just choose to watch it slowly change, but there's no use to that, it's better to just instantly make it.

He exited his virtual space without a word, then asked Ron, "How is it?"

"What?" Ron asked back, bamboozled by his brother again.

In his point of view, his brother just asked him to tell him that the robe is his, but just after telling his brother that, his brother just blinked and suddenly asked him, "How is it?"

Sometimes Felix is forgetful, so he scratched his head while pointing at Ron's robe and said, "Your robe."

"What do you m-" Before he can ask, his gaze already fell upon the edge of his robe and saw that it is on pristine state, no dust, or mud.

Ron already saw his brother fix his own robes, but it still surprised.

His brother, Felix, just continues to throw him a bunch of amazing surprises…

….

On a vast emptiness of space, The planet of Sonder floats, which was named that way because of a transcedental being a trillion years ago that happened to pass by this planet and said, "Sonder"

Sonder is a feeling that you get after realizing that every people have their own lives, their own story, even after you already felt sonder before, you can still continue experiencing it.

The transcedental being is amazed because it saw that a lot of beings in that planet is living their own lives, each has its own complexity, making the transcedental feel sonder.

Unfortunately, after saying the word "Sonder," the sound managed to travel through the space without a medium and killed millions of beings in an instant, billions of humans are injured.

Although the population of humans are already trillions at that time, the transcedental being still felt regret and exploded itself on the core of Sonder, instantly healing those who are injured, but didn't manage to revive anyone.

Since then, mana started to appear, and bunch of people even said that sacrifices are needed for improvement, and didn't pity those who died.

However the transcedental being is too dead to also regret killing itself on such a planet governed by greedy people.

The planet of Sonder has three continents, the first is the Lower Continent, second is the Average Continent, and the third is the Higher continent.

They are named after the amount of mana they constantly receive from the core.

The Higher Continent getting the highest amount of mana, whereas the Lower Continent gets the lowest amount of mana.

Since the transcedental being didn't explode at the very center of the core, and deviated a bit for a thousand kilometers away from the actual center, the mana is unevenly distributed throughout the world.

Even though it's just a thousand kilometers of deviation, it was still an extremely huge difference of mana distribution.

The Highest Continent is said to be getting 1000 times more mana compared to the Average Continent, whereas the mana that is being received by the Lower Continent is said to be 1000 times lower than the Average continent.

Such difference made the Lower continent the receiver of disdainful comments.

Also being sent to the lower continent is considered a punishment, heavier than death.

Even if you live your life as an emperor in the Lower Continent, you won't be able to fight a farm chicken in the Higher Continent.

Even though the Higher Continent and the Average continent could have just directly took the Lower continent by force, they didn't, because it is much bigger then the Average and Higher continent, that means that the main source of labor is the Lower Continents.

Why remove the source of maids and farmers?

Erad Empire is a middle grade empire, one of the 30 Empires in the Lower Continent.

It is said to be controlled by a level 9 aspirant realm cultivator.

It spans for billions of miles, and it has 30 countries under it's government.

One small country is called Pollux country and is said to be controlled by a level 3 Absolute mana gathering realm king.

Relyc City is under the governance of the Pollux Country.

In Relyc city, there is currently no leader, that's why a competition will be held in a year where 1 of the 8 level 9 gathering realm cultivators will considered the leader of the city. This competition will be judged and held by an Elder of the Pollux Country.

Many people have ambiguous feelings about this competition because the prize is an absolutely important pill that can remove 10 percent of the mana impurities of the core for the level 9 gathering realm.

If you eat the pill, you are guaranteed to breakthrough, because alongside the impurity removal pill is the condensed mana pill!

Such treasures are absolutely important, and a lot of greediness was triggered within the city.

The four family, Rad, Ester, Fal, and Wilt, have 8 level 9 mana gathering realms cultivators.

Two for each of the family.

Each of them is like a king on their respective family.

The Wilt Family is the strongest in the city, whereas the Fal Family is the weakest.

But there is an uproar in the morning because a guard said that he saw a level 9 mana gathering realm.

He said that it is someone who is not one of the four families' high cultivators!

If it is one of them, he will immediately know it!

Each features of all of the 9 level gathering realms in the city are memorized by heart of the people

The Rad Family, being the closest family to the place of incident where the guard saw the said expert, conducted an experiment, and proved that the wall hole of the building was not created by explosives or any item, and even saw a trace of fist mark at the fourth wall where it failed to break.

With this piece of information, the Rad Family officialy said that the rumors are true.

This piece of news caused a lot commotion within the cultivators of each family!
