NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41 - Exploration
Chapter 41 - Exploration
Why do people earn for strength?
Like for what reason do you need so much strength for anyways?
This is a futuristic era so it's not like people need additional strength or something, AI does almost most of the work in this age and even more.
So why do people want strength.
It's also not like gaining it is super easy and they will get it just by trying to cultivate for a month or two.
Because it may not be as slow as Cultivation which takes takes years to advance from one realm to another one. But Mana still does takes months to advance from one level to another and if you have low potential than even more.
So Why?
This question had haunted me from when I had started to understand some of the things of this magical world. I always wondered for what reason people would want strength.
I know that it can make someone feel invincible and some are just freaks who want nothing more than to gain power and use it for their own selfish advantages.
But why would almost everyone want to gain power? So much so that they are willing to give up their lives.
What Pascal said to me after was the answer to it all. All of It could only be described by one word.
Frontier
Yes Frontier. The man or women who are the ones to go in to the wildness for the unknown.
What pascal told me was something else but let me revise it in my own words.
I have known that This world is called Escana, Right. Now Escana had Four Continents that were divided in to Four kingdoms, Okay.
But what I didn't know was that they were only the tip of a very huge iceberg. Because this world wasn't just made up of Four big continents that completed Escana.
Escana was a very large world that had many more mysteries. Beyond the four continents there were unaccountable amount of land that were still unexplored.
People had estimated the four continents were only made up of 30% of Escana. So there were still 70% of unexplored places in this world that people still haven't ventured yet.
But people just didn't need a mind for exploring, they also needed the power to protect themselves. Because there were many kinds of dangerous beasts out there whose sight of them could give you nightmares. And the farther you ventured in to the wilderness the more dangerous the beasts will become.
Again another question, why do people want to risk their lives for wild jungles and nasty mosquitoes. Oh yes, mosquitoes are here too and they are even more dangerous than they were back in my planet.
But back to the point, why were the people risking their lives? The answer - Unimaginable Treasures.
Yes, it was Greed that made them risk their lives for something so foolish. But even if it were you, you would still risk you life for a grab of those treasures.
The Frontiers would go and explore the unexplored places and they would find treasures that were rich enough to never make them work ever again.
But it wasn't just the gold and silver that attracted people, what attracted them was the Item's that were hidden amongst the treasures.
Items which were secret, items which were valuable enough to die many times for them, items which were so strong that they had the power to split apart the sky.
But even amongst them two things were fan favorite of every one who dreamt of being a superhero who could shoot laser from their eyes.
First was the Spell Scrolls.
The spell scrolls were as you might have guessed it were scrolls that allowed people to learn different kinds of spells. Some even powerful enough to blow up a country in an instant. So you can guess why they would be so favorite.
Second were the Awakening Materials.
Now this was something I didn't had any idea of what they were and something I was immensely interested in learning because of there name. And as I had guessed it was indeed very important.
What the Awakening Materials really were actually different kinds of materials ranging from a paper to almost anything. Now what they did was something else entirely.
So for an example, Think of a person who is Level ONE in Mana and that they were already at the peak of Level ONE and that they were ready to advance to the next level.
Now you can't just dilly dally and advance nor can you get super angry and power up, so what were you going to do. Now this is where Awakening Materials came in. What they did was they would use materials that were suited for your Awakening and used them to advance you to the next level.
But you couldn't just use any material, you had to use materials that were suited to your affinity. So the guy I was talking about think of him as a user of Fire Affinity. Generally you need two things or materials to advance to the next level and sometimes for special affinities you would need more materials. Now fire affinity was a common affinity and also because Pascal told me so I can tell you exactly what you need for that specific affinities awakening materials.
First you would need a Fire Rock. This was something easy to find and was cheap as well.
Second was A Fire Heart. Not This was also something easy to find but hard to buy. But still strength does come at a cost.
Now after acquiring the specific and required amount of materials you were ready to advance now. But for safety reasons people would generally do this in closed doors. Now there were some affinities that needed to do specific things to advance but generally you would sit in a closed door and put the materials in front of you then cultivate them and after a while Voila you had advanced to the next level. It sounded easy and in the early stages the materials were also something you would be able to buy for lesser price and also be available in the market but for the higher level ones this was something you either had to be very rich to buy or go find it yourself among the great danger itself.
Now you couldn't just go out in the wilderness and find yourself some treasures or items because in the eyes of the Royal family and the Great Houses this was considered as 'No No'. So how do you get the approval to go and find yourselves some gold bricks to spend on your wife or your sidechick.
The Royal Forces and the Great House have the ability to take people with them on explorations.
But not only them there was also one more category that was allowed to go on explorations.
