1488 Arya''s System
Arya had a system solely focused on earning points by bing popr. The points came not from her fame, but from her invention''s fame, based on how many of her inventions were bought and how much they earned.
From the age of3when her brain had grown enough for her to think everything clearly, she had gained ess to the system with a few blueprints avable to her.
She nned on making them all when she was old enough, but when her mother died just2yearster in a house fire, Arya decided that she couldn''t wait for much longer.
If her inventions could save people, she would do so right away.
So, after the funeral, she decided to tell her father everything.
Zarius wasshocked and confused at first, but Arya had always been a weird child.Thenew informationsimplyexins why she wasweird.
He epted his daughter''s knowledge and wisdom and began working on the different inventions. The beginning was difficult.Withhow little moneytheyhad,theycouldn''t gather resources to create what needed tobe created.Therewas also only a blueprint, leaving a lot for the person making it to try and figure out.
There was knowledge Arya could buy from the system, but it needed Research points, which she could only get once she solda lotof her inventions and made a lot of money.
For3years, Zarius struggled to make the few inventions he had made previously. However.Inthe third year, hewas approachedby Jacobwhohad been passing by and wanted to sell what he had created.
Immediately, their salehadskyrocketed, allowing Arya to buya lotmore things from her system. Zarius'' name had spread throughout the world ina matter ofa decade, with Arya barely being able to do much. Shecontinued learning, gaining new knowledge, andunlocking new blueprints. By the time shewas turning18, she had made enough progress in her system that she could stop workingat all, and everything would be alright.
However, every time she thought of stopping, she remembered her mother. Hadthere been a fire rm,or afire extinguisher, or a safer system for cooking, she would''ve still been alive. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her mother was dead, but there were a lot more mothers and children who needed each other in the world. Therewere many others who deserved to live.
Now, she worked for them.
And more likely than not, she would work forever.
Arya finished telling her story to Ning.
Ning nodded as he listened,ing to understand the girl a little. Zarius was furious on the side, havine backfrom the door after failing to call the guards. Hewanted to beat Ning, but theck of petrification on his body confused him.
And once his daughter began talking, he remained quiet.
"Papa, it''s alright," Arya said. "He''s not here to hurt us."
"That may be so, but I do not trust him just yet," Zarius said. Hehad missed the part where Ning had told Arya exactly why he hade here.
To determine if they were using a system or not. Ninghad decided not to tell Arya aboutZurnius,since that would cause more questions.
And both Zarius and Arya were big enough a figure in theworld,that Zurinus might even keep a close watch on them.
"Where were you from originally? Yourother world," Ning asked.
"My previous world? Itwas different from this one," Arya said. "I was born on Lovaria of the Highstar Empire in the Govarial Gxy."
"It was a world far more developed andfar morebrutal than this one. Although, I suppose the brutality might be the same if we consider the scale of it and all."
"The Govarial Gxy?" Ning was a little surprised.
"We had the entire gxy mapped out, so I fear this is not the gxy I came from," Arya said.
"I know this is not the one," Ning said. "This is the Meghris Gxy. Giveme a moment."
Ning closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
"The Govarial gxy is neighboring this, on the farther side, beyond the ck hole," Ning said. "Hmm… I might go there next."
Arya''s eyes widened slightly. "What? Govarialis right next to this one?" she asked.
"Yes," Ning said.
Arya felt jubtedfor a momentbefore reality struck herandshe lost all happiness. "That means nothing to me, unfortunately. Onecannot just travel to another gxy. We''vetried before. Thedistance is just too far away."
"I know," Ning said.
The only way he could possibly take her to the other gxy was to either put her in a cryo-chamber for millions of years or put her on Earth where she could cultivate and live long enough to see Ning reach the other gxy.
Even so, enough time would''ve passed that everyone and everything she loved would''ve long since perished.
Thiswould be a full-on tragedythat Ningdid not want to put on the poor girl.
"Please tell me more about your system. Whereare you from? Didyou reincarnate heretoo?" Arya asked.
Ning told her that instead of reincarnating to this, he had transmigrated instead. Hecame here through a portal that was from a nearby.
He told her he hade herein search ofsomeone,but did not tell who.
Zarius remained quiet the entire time, losing enough anger that he did not continuouslyseethe,but still angry enough that he red at Ning.
The way Ning had snuck in had put him and his daughter in danger, and he would never forgive this man for that.
Ning did not care what Zarius thought of him and continued talking to Arya for some time before standing to leave.
"Oh right, don''t forgetthat we''llbe going to the Emperor''s birthday too. Don''tleave without us."
Once he said that Ning gave asmallbow and teleported away.
