Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

“Anyway, so we have friendly connections and trade with them via sea routes. Many people here go to the Pentarix continent to work or for adventure while their people also come here to hunt in the south snowy region or for various things.”

Meya told them many things on the way as Arkhen, Emily, and Azela listened to it with open ears.

After ten minutes, Meya sighed and said, “The outside world is so so so big. These five continents that I told you about are actually in just one big place called Astoria Land while there are six more of such big lands and Astoria is not even the biggest… I really want to visit them all.”

“You can do that when you become powerful till the limits of this realm,” Azela said with a smile.

“Yep!” Meya said with a grin. “Everyone must roam the lands after they reach the peak as they must follow their path of Stars and complete it. If they can’t, they won’t ascend to the 2nd realm.”

“Path of Stars? Sounds cool,” Arkhen said with surprise. “What exactly is that?”

“Hehe, it’s probably the most exciting adventure in everyone’s life if they reach the basic peak of strength. Still, the true peak of this realm is not simply having reached the stats limit or having 1,000,000 Energy Power,” Meya said with a wry smile. “Alright, we’ve arrived at the place.”

In front of them was a big round building.

[Rifar’s General Store]

Although called a general store, it was very big. Arkhen, Emily, Azela, and Meya entered through the big glass doors and saw a large hall and two paths leading to a big section behind this hall.

“Come to the Pawn Section. You can sell your tier-1 beast bodies there. Some beasts’ bodies are important as they are used in the making of potions and items. Let’s see what you got,” Meya said as she led them to the second hall. There was a big ground in the middle with many things laying there and staff members assessing them.

“Put the bodies there, I’ll call the staff,” Meya said.

However, she didn’t even need to call as a lady approached them and greeted them. “Welcome dear customers. Welcome, lady Meya. What can I help you with?”

“My friends want to sell some beast bodies. Give them appropriate prices,” Meya said before she gestured to Arkhen. “Take out the bodies.”

…

“So all those 1st-grade beasts’ bodies got us 7590 low-grade energy stones?” Arkhen was speechless, but then he wryly smiled. “Oh well, they are just 1st-grade beasts. Of course, they wouldn’t be so valuable.”

[A/N: energy stones and essence stones are different! Energy stones are general currency and they can also be used to restore energy in the pond so one can continue using skills or powers. These energy stones are universal since they recover a single pond’s energy, whatever energy-type that pond is. Also, essence stones are also used as currency, but they are a kind of advanced currency only used to buy very valuable items or some top items in the auctions].

After leaving the shop, Meya asked as she looked at Arkhen, “ok, what do you want to do now?”

“Now? Hmm, I want to fight,” Arkhen said as he cracked his knuckles. “I want to fight to my heart’s content.”

“Then let’s go to the Warcry Arena. That’s the best place to fight to your heart’s content aside from fighting dangerous battles against people and beasts in the wilderness.”

Arkhen wanted to increase the mastery of his Fire Fist Agnister skill and also wanted to see how he fares in fights against people here.

He just got a boon of 5000 reality motes, so he wanted to see if he could copy learn a skill or two or get something else while fighting.

…

While Arkhen and others went to the Warcry Arena, Wateina, the so-called goddess of life and water who blessed Azela turned her head to her left side.

She sat at a table in front of a middle-aged woman inside a garden.

“What happened?” asked the middle-aged woman with long dark blond hair.

“I sensed my blessing again. That lass’s traces through my blessing suddenly vanished today morning, but I can sense her again,” Wateina said with a playful smile. “Lenika, since my business here is done. I’ll go play with her and devour her soul.”

“Well, be careful. You should know that people of the 3rd realm become weaker than people who are truly at the peak in the 2nd realm due to the restriction you get,” Lenika said calmly before taking a sip from the teacup.

“I plan to stay low-key and scheme her to fall for the trap. She just ascended here, so I doubt I will encounter any trouble while playing with her,” Wateina said with a grin as she stood up.

“Where is your target right now?” Lenika asked.

“Hmmm, from how the connection to my blessing feels so weak, she is pretty far. I’ll need to take that expensive ride to reach there quickly,” Wateina said with a chuckle.

Lenika rolled her eyes and said, “This is your advantage. Things are less expensive for you here. Well, off you go.”

…

“So, it will still take four days to reach there?” Wateina muttered as she sat inside a big flying ship. “Well, enjoy your short life until I reach there, my little sparrow.”

On the other hand, Arkhen and others arrived at Warcry Arena.

“Let’s go to that section for 1st-class warriors as you are a 1-st class warrior,” Meya said with slight excitement. “I want to see how you fight since you three managed to survive in the south region despite ascending just a few days ago.”

After doing into the 1st-class section, Arkhen registered his name.

“Your turn to fight will be after two more fights. Good luck,” the middle-aged dwarf gave a ticket to Arkhen and a badge with the number 1004.

People in the area kept some distance from them because of Meya. After all, she was a pearl of the Lanker Duke Household. Nobody dared to upset her…except for her own family.
