Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 39: Grinding I.

Being a capable dual fighter of warrior and mage, Steve had some good experiences completing several of the missions with his team. His knowledge, although a bit on the lower side helped Felix solve a lot of his doubts.

With the help of his new skill, Felix made use of the boy and asked him several questions ranging from aura cultivation, warriors, mission, and several others.

Steve was especially happy to answer all those questions as it was the first time someone had actually approached him for help and politely conversed with him.

As he got to know more and more information, Felix clenched his hands in jolly as all his doubts and insecurities about this world were getting clearer and clearer.

First of all, he got to know that the nine ranks for both warriors and mages were divided into three realms. The cultivators in the first three realms were called 'Mortals', the next three realms were 'Transcendent' and the last three realms were called 'Legends'.

The reason for these titles was because, for every three ranks there was a tremendously difficult bottleneck that cultivators had to face.

As such, the number of cultivators in the Legend realm was very rare with no encounter of them ever in Edenmont City.

The highest realm of cultivators that most of the cities had were of the Transcendent realm. The guild leaders of almost all of the top 10 guilds were of this realm with some of the higher-up members being there too.

Felix also got to know the real reason why their guild was the only one to have unofficial members of rank 0 while most of the guilds only accepted people above rank 1 and had no members called 'unofficial members'.

It was all because of the new rule that their guild leader passed in the Guild Council. Not all of the guilds accepted the preposition as they had no need of weak people and thus only Twilight Chaos were the ones to accept rank 0 people.

Their guild leader demanded that it was for the sole reason of giving the weak a chance and helping the budding youths get some experience to prevent many of them from making mistakes and losing their lives just when they were getting ready to deal with the cruel world out there.

On the other hand, the other guilds did not look in favor of this idea as it made them lose a lot of manpower to deal with weaker members so instead they just focused on their main teams and completed missions.

Coming back to cultivating aura, he learned that there are many ways that could help one meditate.

Some of the easy ones were sitting in an open area with a lot of sunlight or being under the influence of various natural wonders like waterfalls, forest cover, etc.

Other ways were to use potions, medicines, and formation arrays but they were not that easily accessible so only the rich and resourceful used them.

Taking a deep breath to process all the information, Felix stopped his automatic wikipedia, aka Steve.

"That's enough for today, Steve, I think I already got to know what I needed."

The talkative boy stopped his rambling which he could have continued for hours without getting tired.

"Oh, was that enough for you? If you want I can talk more with you."

It was not an everyday chance for him to talk with someone who could wholeheartedly listen to him like the kid in front of him did. So he felt a bit sad knowing he had to go back to being alone with no one taking him seriously.

"I may have more questions tomorrow, so how about we continue this later and rest for today?", Felix replied not giving up on this useful guild member.

"Really? Sure then, we'll continue tomorrow."

Replied Steve happily as there was another chance for him to show off his greatness and potentially convince the kid to take part in his pranks in the future.

He got up from the chair as the both of them bid each other goodbye and went out of the room.

'Let's revise once more.'

All alone, Felix first read the book once again remembering all the important points for doing meditation.

After doing that, he got up and sat near the opened window of the room where the sunlight of the afternoon was shining brightly.

Making a meditative form with his legs crossed, back straight and eyes closed, he emptied his mind of everything and focused on his body.

Taking calculative breaths of a certain rhythm, his consciousness slowly wandered about his body before he felt it going deep down into the thin vessels and nerves of his body.

Suddenly, his blood started to act strangely like it was being boiled under a low flame. Little by little, the nutrients in his body broke away from several parts of his body and got absorbed by the nerves that connected them all together.

With the addition of the energies from the atmosphere, sun, and wind in his meditative breaths, his body started to absorb all the nutrients which made him feel like going deep into the lava and at the same time feeling the coldness of a blizzard.

It was a strange feeling but it also made his mind freshen up as he could remember everything that transpired today and make accurate calculations of his problems.

After a few hours, he opened his eyes which gleamed energetically.

"Huff.....So this is how meditation is done."

He had no words to actually describe what he was feeling because it was the first time in his life that he experienced such a thing.

The term meditation seemed a lot casual when he had gone through something which was a lot more magical and mysterious.

Felix got up from the floor and stood straight clenching his hands to feel the effects of meditation.

Even though there were no drastic changes in his body, his muscles and bones were feeling hotter and stronger than before with a lot of sweat leaking out of his body.

He jumped and stretched in the room and got used to the newfound power his body had.

"I feel so much stronger when I have not even reached rank 1. I wonder how strong I'll be when I get there then.", he was happy with the gains from today when his stomach started growling.

"Growl~"

He wryly smiled holding his empty stomach.

"It was true when the book said there would be a deficiency of nutrients after meditating. Guess I got to go have lunch then."

Opening the door to the bathroom, Felix cleaned himself from all the sweat for a few minutes before heading to the dining hall for lunch.

Now that he got to know how to cultivate aura and become a warrior, he just had to continue doing this until he could finally reach the threshold for breaking into the first rank and start his journey to become stronger.

It was a race against time, for him to become capable of joining the war and prove that he was not the weak boy he was before, he had to become stronger and complete a lot of missions in the guild.

While doing so, he would also kill a lot of enemies to get more skill points, which were the only thing that could help him achieve more than what his average talent was capable of.

With a look of determination, he walked off toward the dining hall to completely fill his tummy with a lot of nutrients which were the only thing that could help improve his weak and thin body.
