Episode 4 - Mission Rewards and the New World
—————————————————————
I have truly been reborn…
And the name of my new world is Ocsilaus.
"System, show me the skill: Art of Infinite Creation."
> [Ding…
Skill: Art of Infinite Creation
Tier: Rare
Type: Passive/Active
Description: With a capacity of [10,000/300] Energy, 10 Energy is generated every 24 hours. This energy can be used to create skills, equipment, and more.
There's a 10× Energy difference between each level—except after the Ultimate Celestial tier, where the multiplier becomes 100,000×.
Tiers
-
This skill can level up using Energy or through merging with other creations.
Each level increases Energy Capacity by 10× and Daily Energy Gain by 10%. For every three tiers, one zero is added to the percentage increase.
(Example: Ultra Epic = 100% gain, Super Legendary = 1,000% gain.)]
…Wait a second.
"Why do I already have 300 Energy? Where did that come from?"
> [Ding… It took one month to transfer your soul. Even as a soul, your skills and abilities continued to function.]
I see… That means I can create at least three extraordinary skills right off the bat.
But hold on—didn't I have a quest to claim?
"System, give me the quest rewards."
> [Ding…
Quest: The First Step to Strengthening [Completed]
Rewards:
100 System Points [Current: 350]
5 Free Stat Points
0.001% System Upgrade (99.999% remaining)]
"I'll invest 1 point in Intelligence."
> [Ding… Unable to comply. Your body and cultivation level are insufficient. The mortal cap for Intelligence is 99.]
And my Intelligence is already at 99.
"System, if I advance to Bronze Tier, can it increase further?"
> [Ding… Yes. I don't know your physique current stat capacity, but it will increase with your Tier.]
"Then give 3 points to Vitality and 1 point to the rest."
> [Ding…

Not bad… My body already feels stronger and healthier.
"System, I want to create a skill with 100 Energy."
> [Ding… Skill Creation Menu Opened.]
Hmm… my daily Energy gain is too low. What if I create a skill that boosts it permanently?
> [Skill: Energy
Tier: Uncommon
Type: Passive
Description: Permanently increases daily Energy gain of Art of Infinite Creation by 10% per every time energy increases/per day.]
> [Ding… Rejected. To permanently increase daily Energy gain by 10%, the skill must be at least "Legendary" tier.]
> [Skill: Energy
Tier: Uncommon
Type: Passive
Description: Permanently increases daily Energy gain by 0.1% per every time energy increases/per day. ]
"How about this one?"
> [Ding… Acceptable.
Skill Creation Initiated.]
> 1%... 20%... 39%... 70%... 98%... 100%!
[Ding… Skill Creation Completed!]
New Skill Acquired — Energy.
"Perfect. Now I can boost my daily Energy without leveling the main skill itself."
"System, tell me how Cultivation and Body Refinement work."
> [Ding…
Cultivation: Drawing Mana from your surroundings into your Core using either a specific or unspecified technique.
Specific: Consciously gathering Mana with a cultivation method.
Unspecified: Passively gathering Mana through your Physique or Talent.
Body Refinement: Training your body to absorb Mana and strengthen itself. This purifies your physical form, making it stronger.
Important: Normal physical training alone won't refine your body—it requires a technique.]
I see… If I create two passive skills for this, I might hit Bronze Tier before I'm even two years old.
"System, how do I track my progress?"
> [Ding… Without a related skill, you can't. But if your Tier rises enough to sense your Core or Body, you'll know.]
"Then let's make two skills. Use 200 Energy."
...
> [Ding…
Skill: Mana Gathering
Tier: Uncommon
Type: Passive
Description: Passively transfers a small amount of surrounding Mana into your Core. This process is 3× slower than a normal cultivation technique.]
> [Ding… Skill Creation Initiated…
1%... 20%... 39%... 68%... 99%... 100%!
Skill Creation Completed!]
New Skill Acquired — Mana Gathering.
> [Passive Skill: Mana Gathering activated. You are now passively gathering Mana.]
…And then—
...
ERROR!!!
"???"
> [Effect of "???" Physique detected. Mana Gathering ×10 Activated.]
The skill suddenly begins to evolve.
> 1%... 3%... 8%... 30%... 50%... 80%... 100%!
[Ding… Skill Evolution Completed!]
New Skill Acquired — Dual Mana Gathering.
> [Ding…
Skill: Dual Mana Gathering
Tier: Uncommon (Rare)
Type: Passive
Description: Passively gathers Mana into both your Core and Body at the same speed as a normal cultivation technique.]
"What the hell just happened?! Is this because of my physique?!"
> [Ding… Even in its inactive state, your Physique amplifies Mana absorption by 10×. It refuses to send Mana to the Core alone, forcing balance between Cultivation and Body Refinement. As a result, the skill evolved.]
A forced evolution, huh… but if it makes me stronger, I'm not complaining.
...
> [Ding…
Skill: Core and Body Refinement Assessment
Tier: Uncommon
Type: Active
Description: Uses 10 Mana Points to display the refinement percentage of Core and/or Body. Effective up to Silver Tier.]
"Alright. Create it."
> [Ding… Skill Creation Initiated… 1%... 100%!
Skill Creation Completed!]
New Skill Acquired — Core and Body Refinement Assessment.
[-10 Mana Points Used]
[Core: Mortal 0.001% (0.00001%/s)
Body: Mortal 0.001% (0.00001%/s)]
Not bad.
0.00001% per second means:
0.0006% per minute
0.036% per hour
0.864% per day
That's Bronze Tier in 116 days.
A normal cultivator would need over 3 years of nonstop training for the same result.
Me? 3 and a half months.
> [Ding… Calculation confirmed.]
This physique is no joke.
Now that my skills are ready, it's time to take a look at this world.
Ocsilaus is far larger than Earth. My old planet's circumference was about 16,000 km. This one? 192,000 km.
And just as I guessed when I was born, this world is in a medieval era.
Technology isn't needed here—Cultivation are everything. Some Legendary experts can live without even breathing. They travel to other planets, harvest resources, and return with their Space Rings full.
My own family… just ordinary villagers. But their love is more than enough for me. One day, I'll become strong enough to protect them all.
The highest known cultivation level here is Mysterious Tier. And surprisingly, the people of this world don't even practice Body Refinement.
"I expected a harsher place, but this world… isn't bad at all."
For now, I'll wait. But before that—
"System, show me my status."
