Entering Rank 3(Part 2)

Shawn looked at the screen in front of him, showing the view of a moving round world. He wanted to rage but as of now, he might as well go along with the system. "The first option will do. Same race name but different sub-race names."

*Processing request. . . What race would you like to name them?*

"I'd like to call them the Evolvers," He answered.

Then he heard a notification bell ring and was excited.

*Congratulations, You have completed the quest of making an evolved race.*

*Ding! Congratulations, You have completed the quest of having at least eight races in your world.

*Ding! Congratulations, You have completed the quest of completing 10 quests.*

Shawn quickly checked the quest lists.

Requirements for Upgrading - Complete Six or all of these quests.

1. Earn at least 22,000 CP - 16,400/22,000

2. Have at least eight races on your world - Currently 8/8 - C

3. Complete at least ten quests - 10/10 - C

4. Have two overseers from a race, your world or realm - C

5. Have an evolved race - C

6 Perform a specific action on your world - C

7 Have one or more higher beings in your world - C

*Calculating Rewards.....*

*Ding you have been given 2,000 CP.

*Ding you have been given 1,500CP.

*Ding you have been given 2,200 CP.

In total, he had gained 5,500 CP, which had been added to his total CP earned.

The total CP that he had earned was now 21,900, and it only remained 100 CP to gain access to successful completion of all the quests even though it stated that he only needed to complete Six or all. He had a total of 12,975 CP.

However, he wanted to complete all of them, and the difference of 100 CP was unnerving for him.

"Will there be a difference if I click to upgrade now or if I choose to complete the last quest?”

*Yes but there is a special reward for completing all the quests to upgrade to the next rank than to upgrade to the required rank.*

That only made his anxious heart feel worse, so he asked another question. "Are there any other side quests that I can complete to deal with this 100 CP difference?"

*Yes. There are side quests that are not shown, but to see them, you just need to say side quests.*

"Side Quests."

Side quests and a long list of quests appeared before his face on the tab and he searched for which one was most suitable and quick for him to complete.

Luckily, he found one that said that he needed to use his powers to affect the landscape of a continent.

He looked at the eastern continent and wondered what he could do about it. Currently, the eastern continent was the only continent that did not have a race. He checked the powers and saw one called denudate.

Knowing what exactly was going to happen should he use that power, he decided to reduce the heights of some landmasses including continental highlands. When he was finally done, he had made the continent have only a few hill regions that had become smaller in height and became small hills, flat lands, or plains.

*Ding! You have completed the side quest and have gained 100CP.*

Finally, the one message that he was willing to hear.

*Ding* You have completed the quest of earning 22,000 CP.*

*Ding you have been rewarded with 3,000 CP.*

*Congratulations you have completed all the quests to upgrade to the next rank. Do you wish to upgrade?*

"Yes,"

The borders of the world expanded once more, but this time, instead of space made up of water like what had happened when the world had reached Rank 2, the process had been changed entirely.

The entire expanded space was completely dark, giving not a shred of water or land.

"What is this dark thing?"

*They are outer regions*

"What are they for?”

*They are used to link a world with another world or form a place that allows the two worlds to share a unique existence, and sometimes they are just there. A place that allows for a separate dimension inside of the two worlds by combining their outer regions to form one region.

Living things from both worlds who end up residing close can be affected by the other world's system or magic. It is possible for cross-world traveling to occur here, but only if you allow it or limit it to a very small amount of individuals.*

Shawn took a while to understand the system's point, "So something like borderlands of two countries, but at the same time, it is a checking on its own and controls the rate of immigrants from both countries that have access to it?"

"That doesn't explain why it's so dark though..." He added.

*Currently you have only one world in your possession. When or if you decide to have a second world when given access. The outer region will show some colour based on the area the world is around it.*

"Ok. I'm not understanding what that means but I'll figure it out once I reach the next rank. Also, show me the requirements for upgrading to the next rank"

A list of quests popped up on the screen.

Requirements for Upgrading to Rank 4 - Complete all of the Quests.

1 Earn at least 35,000 CP - 22,000/35,000.

2 Witness a new change that occurs in the world -

3 Create 2 new realms - 0/2.

4 Create 2 new energies to place into the world - 0/2.

5 Have 8 higher beings - 4/8.

6 Give yourself a name to be addressed by the races- (It can be together or a separate name for each race) -

7 Complete at least 15 quests - 11/15.

8 Set rules concerning certain aspects of the world -

"Seems like it is time to get to work."

*Also note that while the world can be upgraded to any rank, It officially stops expanding at rank 3. The remaining ranks are for consolidation.*

"So it seems this is all the region left to me. Good thing, I planned well."

He then asked the system "How do I create a new energy?"

*You can add the new energy by clicking on the realm section and clicking on the energy tab which is on the top right. It's that simple.*

"Oops," Shawn felt embarrassed by his question and quickly touched the screen, proceeding to the realms section while looking at the side of the top right. He saw that there were only two realms, which were Ornio and the Jury Realm.

Beside each of the realms was a little tab on the right titled 'Energy,' depicted with a swirling ball reflecting a cyan-coloured light as its icon.

"Would it make a difference if I decided to choose the new energies for the Jury realm would it still count?"

*Yes, the quest involves the realms so all the realms are involved and not just the main realm of Ornio,*

"Ok. That's good."

In the Jury realm, inside the jury house were six chairs arranged to form a round table.

Five figures with a pair of white eyes and a single brown eye on their head, along with an equal-length cross above, looked around. Except for one who added a bit of specialty and that included the many coloured wings attached to her back.

Today was the annual meeting of the six honours.

"I think it will be better if we separate our groups to be focused on a region as there is no need to be competing over the various parts of the world to take the souls of the dead from," One of the honors suggested.

"I agree," said another Honour.

"Same here,"

Then they all looked at the one with the coloured wings, the sovereign.

"If it is to enable us to perform activities of taking souls efficiently then it is allowed." The Sovereign had no qualms about their decision.

At that moment, a voice which they had never heard before spoke,

*Congratulations, Jury Realm. You have been given a new energy to use for cultivation as well as improving one's rank. It is called Soul energy.*

"Soul energy?" One of the honours said with confusion.

"What is going on? Hasn't it always been mana?"

"I can't understand why it was done like that." Another Honour inputed.

The Female Sovereign, however, was quiet, watching them deduce in confusion before she spoke, “I understand why it was done like that."

She then explained "The Soul Hunters just leave the realm without an order of how things should be done. Without ranks or a power vacuum, we can't tell which post to give any of them except one achievement and attitude, but so far, we haven't seen anything yet as we are still small in numbers, so the implementation of the ranks will help a lot."

Meanwhile back at the realm of Ornio, a human female walked out of a hut and headed towards a white stone pillar that stood at the entrance to the village.

"This power of healing is great, but surely there has to be something else that I can do other than just traveling from village to village looking at high stone pillars every day.

Maybe I should ask someone for help." She then snapped her fingers and vanished into thin air.

"I wonder what the third energy for Ornio will be," Shawn paced around while placing his hand on his chin to seemingly look like he was in deep thoughts. At that moment, a bright light flashed in front of him and dimmed, revealing Semna, who bowed her head.

“You people need to stop entering unannounced.” He thought.
