《( REBOOTED ) Reincarnated Inside (RPG GAME) With Modification System》 Reborn When he opened his eyes all around him was different. The air was very clean, the trees were different from the trees he always saw. As he walked through the woods, he gradually lost his dizziness. He could not believe that he was still alive. The last memory he remembers was when he was hit by a car and bumped his head. As he walked, his mind gradually became clearer. He stopped at a lake to see his reflection in the water. His eyes widened. His body and face were different. The first thing he noticed was his eyes, how come he had this big crystal blue eyes when he knew that he had a small almond brown eyes and how come that he had come up with a handsome face as he knew that he has an average face, even the clothes his wearing was not the same. He wears an underneath plain black tracksuit and a patched-up kimono on its top, and a belt with pockets on his waist. He sat to touch the water and confirm that it was really him, but before even touching the water he was surprised to see that the complexion of his hands was different. It is a woman¡¯s complexion, very delicate and soft. He observed it a little more before slapping himself. Pak! He slapped himself to wake up and looked at his hands again. After the accident, he had no recollection of the events that followed. That makes him increasingly confused about his situation. He stood up to examine his body when he noticed that there was a hidden journal underneath the kimono. He took it and examined it. ¡°Ding! congratulation to you, you have me, your mysterious system to help you.¡±If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. When he holds the book, a mechanical sound rang to his ears which sounded like a game notification of his former life. Suddenly, a floating blue transparent square appeared in front of him. To his surprised about the sudden object, he tried to release the journal to determine if it was from the book he was holding. The journal fell to the ground, but the screen in front of him was not gone. ¡°Ding! Do you want to read the instruction for your System?¡± ¡°Ah, wait, wait, wait, System? Is it like a novel system?¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯re right!¡± He took a deep breath while looking at his hands. ¡°If I had died in my world and transmigrated with this new body, what happened to the original owner of the body? is he dead? How? And why do I only remember my memories from my former life? Isn¡¯t it logical if I had his memories too? Arg .. ¡° His questions annoyed him. ¡°System explain to me what you can do!¡± ¡°Ding! My name is Modification System ¡°. I can do modification at anything to change its defense, attack, and so on. My ability depends on the amount of Soul Energy you can give me. You have about 100% daily energy, and it refills up slowly whenever you take a break. You can use this energy for me to work. But there is something that you cannot do; You cannot use your System Modification in your body. For you to Modify properly you have to follow two rules. First. Whenever you use me, you must touch the thing you want to modify. Second. Touch the thing you modify for a second time or else I will not work again unless you do. ¡° He deeply thought about what the system said as he held his chin and stroke it gently. He then took the journal and said ¡°Modify¡± in his mind. ¡°Ding! Choose what you will change. Name: Journal Defense: 1 Hardness: 1 ¡° ¡°hmm. you said that your ability consumption was on my Soul Energy and as I can see, there was a high possibility that I am at the safe zone because no one has attacked me since I woke up. Then I will just use 20% of my Soul Energy just to be sure and reserved 80% in case of emergency. Please use all the 20% at the harness of the journal. ¡° ¡°Ding! Name: Journal Defense: 1 Hardness: 10 Special ability: When the hardness decreased, there is a 1% chance of increased defense. ¡° ¡°Special ability! hmm... I will try it!¡± He tried to tear down a page with gentle force until it reached the point where he used all his force, but to no avail. The journal was tough as a metal. ¡°Wow, this is tough! It¡¯s like an iron! If I put it on fire, will it burn or it will melt !?¡± He was very impressed with his system. grraaaaahhhh ... His stomach was complaining because of starvation, but he was in an unknown place. If he tried to walk further from his location, he was not sure if it is safe for him. He just drank the water of the lake and rested his tired eyes first. Going Home The sun was almost gone, and the two moons in the sky are getting visible over time. Ran didn''t even realize that he fell asleep, fortunately, it was not too late. "Growling". This what wakes him up, the rumbling stomach that he has, he really could not bear it anymore, he was hesitant to explore around the woods as he was powerless, the only thing that he can do was to fill his stomach with the water of the lake. The sound of heavy footsteps rang in his ears. "What is that!? Someone''s here!" Ran alerted. Ignoring the pain in his stomach, he barely moved his body to hide behind a tree. He kept the journal inside his patched-up kimono before turning to see who it was. When he saw the man''s appearance, he immediately noticed how strangely big the Axe on the man''s back, which resembled an Axe from an RPG game he usually played. He was wearing an old hunter vent that compliments his Axe, his scars on his shoulder, and his fierce autumn brown eyes show that he was a veteran hunter, base on his muscular body and semi-bald hair he must be around at his 30s. The man suddenly disappeared before his eyes as the leaves on the ground flew away. Ran shocked, He tried to find the man with his eyes when suddenly someone spoke behind him, Ran''s heart almost jumps out of his chest. " Hello, are you done fooling around? " When the man talked, Ran carefully paid attention to his word. At the speed of his movements he knows that he has no chance of escape, all he can do is understand what the man needs. When the man did not hear an answer from Ran, he started yelling at him. " Speak, boy! Your father asked me to find you! Do you know how much trouble you cost! Your mother can''t even eat, worrying about you! Your father spends all day asking everyone to help him just to find you brat!" He didn''t stop nagging and nagging, but at this moment, Ran started to slowly calm down. He realized that this man was not here to hurt him in any way. " How many times has your father told you, the forest is dangerous and you have a very weak body! Come on, I''ll carry you on my back, it will be faster that way, let''s go back home, it is getting dark soon". The man removed the Axe on his back as if it was like a wooden stick and casually carried it in his other arm. Looking at the expression of the man, Ran felt like he was telling the truth about returning him home. " Then uncle, please bring me back home, my head hit something hard, that''s why my memory is a little fuzzy and I am starving." Ran bowed. Suddenly, an intense pain surged in his head, and a bunch of unknown memories was flooding his mind. Unable to digest it fast, Ran almost lost his consciousness. The man immediately took action and quickly supported Ran''s body. "Are you okay? It seems you have not eaten any food yet, nephew, I know your reason for going into the forest alone, you want to be a cultivator, but if you keep your stubborn attitude, you will die young. Always remember that your body is not suitable for cultivation, your body is born weak, we can''t do anything about that, do not push yourself for something you cannot do". The man took out something from the small bag on his waist. It was a red potion that resembled like a medicine; he opened the potion and poured it into Ran''s mouth. " Drink it, I will carry you back home, it will restore your vitality, it is more effective than food ". Ran sense a strong familiarity with the potion, it resembled the potion he usually used from a game. " Is this like a red potion from an RPG game? " He thought, but because of the intense pain in his head, he just let go of the matter and let the man carry him on his back. On their way, As he digested the memory, he gradually remembered the man''s name. His name was Meng Heng, he was his not blood-related uncle and his father''s best friend. Both Meng Heng and his father are former disciples of Florencia sect. His father got crippled because of saving Meng Heng when the latter was put in trouble with an arrogant noble. From then on, his father became a mortal, and Meng Heng continued on his path of cultivation. He owes his life to his best friend and promised to protect his family as long as he lived. So, when his parents could not find Ran, his father decided to seek help from him. This time, Ran gradually remembers the name of the previous owner of his body. Coincidentally, they shared the same name. The old Ran was a very stubborn guy who loved to go out into the forest without the knowledge of his parents. He had a big dream, and that was to become a cultivator and move inside the sect. Unfortunately, he encountered a terrible bad lack, a poisonous snake killed him, in contrary to his bad luck, Ran who transmigrated into his body was lucky, the poison will only remain inside the body for a few hours before the body produces countermeasures.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Ran felt confuse about himself. He didn''t know if he should be thankful or not. Out of the blue, the sky became cloudy, and the wind got stronger. After a few seconds, the rain fell. It is as if the heavens are weeping over the former Ran. Ran swore to himself, he would fulfill his wish, he would be a cultivator, not just a mere cultivator, but one who would stand at the top. He would turn his body into a dragon, leap at the sky and explore everything without hindrance, then he would be someone that always respected by the others. A righteous man with Pride and Honor. He held tight to his uncle and said. "Thank you, uncle Meng, for carrying me on your back". He then gradually closed his eyes to rest. "Not a problem, do not do this again, just rest on my back, soon we will be at your house" . Ran formed a simple smile on his face before falling unconscious. Meng Heng dashed faster. He wanted to scold Ran for his actions, but he could not help but to admire the child, not like any other 12-year-old boy, Ran was very mature, he wanted to train his body; he was even willing to put himself at danger for adventuring inside the forest alone. The sun was almost gone, and the two moons in the sky are getting visible over time. Ran didn''t even realize that he fell asleep, fortunately, it was not too late. "Growling".

He wanted to scold Ran for his actions, but he could not help but to admire the child, not like any other 12-year-old boy, Ran was very mature, he wanted to train his body; he was even willing to put himself at danger for adventuring inside the forest alone. Angel Yen The next morning, Ran woke up in his room, the first thing that he saw was the broken ceiling of their wooden house, as he slowly sat down he immediately scan the room for a mirror. When he saw one, he quickly looked at himself, Ran can''t help but let out a heavy sigh. He has this woman''s complexion on his skin that would turn any woman jealous, he has this very handsome face that would make him a target for man''s jealousy, but putting aside those he has this weak body that cannot cultivate, the only hope he has was within his system. But when Ran remembered his system capability the temptation of using it rose as he hardly resists it. He knows that he needed to understand his situation first. "I have two memories in my head, the first is my original memory and the second is the memory of the former owner of my body, then... hmn.. the village name is manta. " Manta was the name of the village where Ran''s family resided. His father was a common farmer in this village and his mother was a simple housewife. They are living together in a small wooden house. Unlike small clans that have resources, Ran''s family was independent and did not belong to any clan. It is not that they do not want it but they just can''t. His parents can be considered foreigners in this place, they do not have any relatives inside the village. Because of that Ran had experienced tons of difficulties in his life, he was always bullied by the other families and mocked by everyone for his pitiful weak body. Ran always complained to his parents about his difficulties, but even his parents can''t do anything about it, and whenever Ran asks why they don''t have relatives, they simply avoid that topic.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. The Village of Manta was one of many villages under the Florencia sect. Like the other Villages, they have a monthly contribution. Each month was 500 Gold coins, which was their payment for protection. Ran finds himself all alone in the house. "Maybe they are already on the farm side or at the market place." Looking outside the house, it was indeed a poor and small village. This village is outdated and rural. On the opposite end of their house, he could see a few similarly broken-down old houses. The streets were unpaved and filled with yellow, muddy sand, making the area dusty. But in a different light, one could live closer to nature in this way. One could also carefreely live their remaining days in this peaceful place. At the same time, the village was unexpectedly quiet, and the streets were deserted. Ran couldn''t care less about the beauty of the village. He is not a nature lover type, he just casually walked and looked around for villagers, but there was nobody. "This is weird. I could hear movements outside a while ago. How did the village become deserted so shortly after going out?" He started to frown, puzzled over the situation. Not too far off, the sound of concentrated footsteps could be heard. Clouds of sand dust could also be seen. Several able-bodied villagers, armed with farming tools, were rushing on the street. Suddenly someone called Ran from the crowd, she was a young lady with a very familiar face as she waved her hands with Ran, he walked in her direction, at first recognizing her was difficult because of the crowds but as Ran got a closer view, he gradually remembers who she was. She has long brown hair with blonde highlights, nowhere near the point of being black. It cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall flowing mildly. The breeze blew through her curls, straightening them into waves that whipped about behind her. Both her eyes are dazzling emerald green which is beautiful and perfectly fits her otherworldly looks. she wore an ordinary dress but her stunning beauty overshadowed it making her name truly fit her, she really appeared as if an angel descended on the mortal world. Her name was Angel Yen, she was a daughter of an ordinary farmer the same as Ran''s father, they were best friends since childhood, and they knew each other a lot. Chimera " Why are you looking at me like that? " Angel frowned. Ran woke up from his sudden daze and composed himself. He wanted to ask about the situation but... "Roar!" A sound of unknown animals sounded in their ears. "It''s coming from the Village''s gate quick let''s hurry! " Angel pulled Ran''s hand and walk towards the sound. Meanwhile, Ran was feeling delighted about Angel''s hand and how tight they were holding each other. She was the only friend he has, although Ran was a mere mortal Angel Yen did not despise him for that, instead, she was impressed by Ran''s determination to fight. Angel Yen had gone through the process of Awakening. Awakening was the term when someone breaks free from being a mortal to a cultivator. This was done when she was six. every five years representatives from Florencia sect will come to their village to perform awakening on the children that might have potential to be their disciples, this was the dream of everyone from the village, but only those who had great potential would be chosen. Angel Yen was one of those who successfully passed the awakening but not chosen. She possessed ordinary talent which Florencia sect did not like, although she felt dejected, she never stopped improving herself. "Roar!" At this time, another Roar from different kinds of beasts sounded in their ears, Ran could barely differentiate the beasts depending on the sound. One was like a dog who barked loudly, the other one was like a lion who''s Roars resounded like a king, and the last one was of a dragon with a very different howl from the others. " Three beasts! how can they deal with that! " Ran said, feeling concerned for the villagers. " Three beasts are you sure? " Angel looked at him like she was saying she already knew how many there were. Ran didn''t know how to respond to her question. With this, Angel did not pursue her question and said. "Ran quit spacing out we have to hurry, okay?" "Yes! yes! Of course, let''s go!" Ran and Angel Yen quickly walked in front of the gate together with the other villagers. "Bang!"If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Suddenly, a sound of agony was heard. Sand and dust filled the air. The group of men that had charged at the beast flew within the dust; hints of blood could be seen under the light. Everyone''s face changed when they saw the beast flying in the air with the body of a lion, wings of a dragon, and a tail that was pretty similar to a dog''s tail. This beast was called Chimera, it has three heads combined of a lion, a dragon, and a dog. Ran was stupefied his mouth was wide open, although he knew from the previous memories of the body''s owner that the beasts widely populated this world, this still, was his first time to see an actual one. As for the others, they were not new about this situation, it is not the first time that a beast attacked their village, but most of the time it was handled by their protectors sent by Florencia sect. But this time was different because the protectors who they trusted the most are already lying on the ground dead. " Chief wasn''t this beast usually not this violent, and always susceptible to gifts, food, and treasures? " a man asked. They already tried to offer the beast their resources knowing the fact that the beast was intelligent enough to understand them, but to no avail, it kept attacking no matter what. The village chief was also extremely puzzled, living for more than a hundred years, this was the first time that he had encountered a wild Chimera that does not accept gifts. "Hmnnmnn Chimeras can be flattered by gifts, food, and treasures¡­ yes, but if someone lures the Chimera for doing something more, they would do the service without thinking twice, though they have intelligence comparable to a human being, inside they are still beasts of the forest. "Said the Village Chief. "You mean someone was behind all of this? Who could that be? And what motives did they have? " asked the man beside him. "I don''t know, but we have to solve this right now." With that, the village chief looked at one of the men beside him and nodded. The man responded with a nod as well, then started to move from the shadows. He will report what was happening to the Florencia sect. "Roar!" At that moment, the Roar of the Chimera sounded again releasing an intimidating and terrifying atmosphere as everything seemed to momentary come to a standstill. Ran was standing in front of the crowd that had put some distance to the beast, but then at this time, he noticed that something was floating at the top of the three heads of the Chimera. Trying hard to look at what it was, Ran focused all his attention on that object. The name of the beast was at the top of the floating red bar. After a few seconds, the red bar started to decreased based on the attack of the villagers. These villagers were all awakened cultivators, even though they are weaker than the beast, they surely outnumbered it. Ran noticed a red pop up text whenever the villagers successfully hit the beast. "-50" "Huh? Wait a moment don''t tell me that it''s the life of the beast? don''t tell me this world is like that RPG games that I usually play!!" Ran observed even more to confirm his theory. "This... This. This is like an RPG game! how could this be? was this also part of my new ability!?" Thinking about how much advantage he has with this kind of ability. Ran can''t help but form a smile on his face. Observing for little more, Ran shouted. "The Chimera has a hidden injury! Look at the thigh it is bleeding!" His words were heard by everyone as they focused their attention on the Chimera''s thigh. It was not easy to see, the thick fur was blocking the area, but based on how the chimera acted when they tried to attack that part confirmed Ran''s word. " Keep attacking the wound! " Village Chief shouted. The Mysterious Village Head CHAPTER 5 The Mysterious Village Head In a faraway land, a grand meeting was being held inside a medium-sized Manor, in the west part of the empire. The manor was the perfect depiction of the clan who lived inside. It was well organized and clean, every furniture was top class, but the chairs were arranged in a weird way. Five chairs were facing at each other with a distance enough to lay down a carpet between them. The Patriarch''s chair was 3 steps higher than the other chairs facing the carpet. Right now, the hall was empty except for the patriarch who was patiently waiting for a piece of news. A shadow appeared in front of him kneeling respectfully. " Reporting, patriarch the chimera that was sent to attack the village is dead, someone pointed out the injury I made to the beast even though it was covered with its fur, I believe that is just an accident but for the mission of gauging the village power, I succeeded. We just need to send one Foundation Stage - Late Rank and the entire village will be annihilated," he said not daring to look at patriarch''s eyes. " Very good, then send two Foundation Stage - Early Rank Experts to annihilate the village, " the Patriarch said " My lord why bother sending out someone to annihilate this lowly village?, if you want, I can do it in a blink of an eye " The shadow casually replied. " Idiot! why do you think I still need to gauge the capability of the village instead of killing them all with my intent! " Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. " Forgive me my lord, but I don''t know the reason why." "Listen to me the empress of this kingdom has received some clue about her son. " Stunned for a moment before the shadow started comprehending what was going on. The patriarch looked at the man and said. "Hmnn. I think you know what is on my mind. If we casually annihilate a village, the empress might get suspicious about our actions and if she ever found out that her long lost son was one of them, then, you can imagine what will happen to us. We need to be very careful about our actions. actually, this is a bet, if we succeed in killing her son then we would not have a threat that we need to be worried about but, if we don''t, then, depending on the capability of that boy we may be the one who will fall at the end. " A cold shiver runs through the body of the man in the shadows. " If we ever failed, I will find him and kill him on my own, " He thought. " We need to be very careful, two Foundation Stage - Early Rank Experts are not suspicious at all, send them after three days and I will wait for your news. " The patriarch casually waves his hand, and the man in the shadow was gone. " If the royal family found out about him, at least we will not be suspected, weather they found him dead or alive. " He thought. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at the village when Ran pointed out the hidden injury of chimera, it took them an hour before finally killing the beast. The villagers who fought the beast were not gravely injured and there were no casualties on their side except the cultivators who were supposed to protect the village. Sato the Village Chief, casually walked beside the dead body of one of the cultivators. He only said " I see " before walking back to the village. If someone was to look at his eyes right now, he would see deep hatred and pride burning in them. Sato the village head is a wise man, he was very mysterious and no one knew his true identity or ability. After the fight is over Angel and Ran continued talking for a while more before finally saying goodbye to each other. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ran kept exploring the Systems abilities in his room, this past few days he never came out of his room except when eating, this sudden change startled his parents, but they didn''t voice out their complains because from the beginning this is what they wanted, for Ran to keep away from any danger. Ran almost modified everything in his room, the bed, the chair, the mirror, he never stopped using his Modification System. In fact, if someone slept on his bed, they might not want to wakeup anymore because after Modifying the bed, it is way softer and more comfortable than before. In these past few days, the Village of Manta returned to its peaceful days while the Village Chief kept disappearing for an unknown reason. Assassin Deep in the forest near Manta Village, an explosion happened out of nowhere, from the dust of explosion, one man who appeared to be at his prime is gravely injured while gasping of air. A wound is visible at his right leg and stomach. Then another man spoke inside the cloudy smoke. " Your not bad, You survive that " walking closer to the man his figure slowly revealed. " With such caliber as you, how come you choose to stay in that lowly village, you can easily become a general if you join our clan. " " Interesting, what is the name of your clan then? " said the old man. He is none other than the village head Sato. After looking at the corpse of the two cultivators who died just a few days ago when the attack of the chimera happens. The two cultivators must be enough to deal that kind of beast, but because for some reason they died with the attack of that chimera, investigating their corpse the Village Head immediately realizes whats going on, so these past few days he is scouting the whole village until he spots this assassin in front of him. It appeared that this assassin is the one who killed that two cultivators and the one who lured the chimera at the village. " I will not tell you anything unless you swore that you will become apart of us, " Said by the assassin. " Then forget about it, what if I ask you a more simple question... Are you ready to die? "Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Before he could shiver, he died in an instant and become a headless corpse. Village Head expression was grave, his brown eyes solemn. He can''t help but be angry, someone is targeting the village. He must do something about it and he must find the reason why they do something like this. He snaps his finger and his storage ring lit up, a scroll appeared in front of him. " This is one of my treasure and it is one-time use only, It would be such a terrible waste if the man behind all of this is weak, it is not just I am wishing for him to be strong but at least that man should put a fight on me," he said excitedly. He chants the mantra to open the scroll and a ray of light envelops the head of the man. He casually picks it up through his hair and faces the man''s face. " Wake up, and tell me everything you know," he said with a dead tone. The head slowly opens his eyes, he is in shock, but the emotion of the face slowly vanished and replaced by a poker-face. This is one of the effects of the scroll after reviving someone they will be hypnotized as soon as they open their eyes. but of course, this will only last for a few minutes after that, the body will start to disintegrate, this is the best scroll to use when extracting information to someone but the value of this scroll was astronomical. " I am Lu Feng, one of the assassins under Ling Family of the Astra Empire. I was instructed to gauge the capability of the village and send someone to annihilate everyone at the village. " " Hmn. ? Why do you need to send someone if you can do it yourself? " " It is because of the patriarch of the Ling family, He wanted to be sure that he will not be linked at all to the annihilation of the village, he is afraid that if the empress doubt him, he will be restricted to the things that he wanted to do " " Hm.? Why does the empress will doubt him? what is the relation of the empress to our small Village? " Sato said, anger in his voice. " Because of the empress long lost son, there is a possibility that he is one of the villagers. The patriarch wanted to erase the possibility to become at ease" Sato released a small burst of power into his hand and with a squeeze of his arm, the head explode. " I never thought this is more serious than I imagine " thought Sato. He turned around and left the place. Mining Ore The Village Head gathered his subordinates to conduct a meeting and announce that he would be gone for five days. He did not say why he needed to go or where he was going. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Back at Ran''s place, he was looking at his hands with a trace of a smile that was playing at the corners of his mouth when he said. " System I think its time to make a ton of money! " A new idea just recently struck him, and stir his imagination. These past few days of constant experimentation produced a very fruitful comprehension about his System, not only that, because of his hard work the amount of his soul force increase dramatically. Before modifying the journal will take him 80% of his soul force just to make it durable as a metal but now, he can produce the same result by just 70%. That was a significant increase of 10%. He was delighted about his overall improvement, but he knows that he has a long way to go. He needed to find a way for him to break the shackle of being a mortal into a cultivator. If only he knows that there was another function hidden at his system. Today he has the plan to explore the market for a good weapon, this will be his first time strolling around the city alone, but before that, for him to buy a good weapon he needs a ton of money. A weapon is the most expensive item in the market depends on its class. And the idea that struck him was to sell ore, this was one of the most popular ways to earn money on your own, adding the fact that, he doesn''t need to explore a cave just to get some Ore, it is scattered around the forest of Manta Village.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. One must have sufficient knowledge about the geography of the forest or else they might leave the safe zone and put in danger, but for Ran, it is way too easy, since childhood the previous owner of his body always have an urge to explore the forest, the experienced he accumulated give him confidence and safety. Too bad for him it is night time and everyone was sleeping on their bed. " I wish I could explore the woods at night but it is way too dangerous, not until I become a cultivator, I guess a walk in the cool evening isn''t worth the risk of being eaten up by beasts is it? better to sleep first " he came to his feet, stretching his body to its maximum height, then jump to his bed and sleep. On the next morning, Stretching, he couldn''t ever remember feeling so relaxed or deeply sated, his soul force had another increase and finally recovered to its maximum. " I am ready to mine some Ore, let''s go " He picked up the bag and smiled. Getting the consent of his parents was the hardest part of his plan, but after he pleaded and promised that he would be safe for like eternity, finally his parents let him go. A quick lunch box was made by her mother and an ordinary ax was entrusted to him by his father. A short walk to the woods uncovered Ran a small mining spot for the ore. He then starts pounding the spot until he accumulates one. To tell the truth, he can just modify the ax he was using to fasten the work but Ran wanted to save his soul force to execute his plan. It takes him 2 hours just to mine a single Ore. And the value of the or depends on its class. The class is divided into 4 Normal Ore - Normal Ore can be sold up to 100 bronze coins. Rare Ore - A glowing emerald Ore that can be used for crafting rare pieces of equipment, the difference of the price is huge. Rare Ore can be sold for 10 Gold coins or 10,000 bronze. Legendary Ore - A glowing diamond Ore with glowing tattoos on its body. In this continent, only kingdoms possess this kind of Ore. Mystical Ore - An Ore with no physical body, There was no real record of that Ore in this continent, but according to the rumors, it is somewhat similar to a mini glowing portal and the size was similar to a normal Ore. " Finally !!! " he shouted and pulled away the Ore. Even though now he looked so fatigued, with dark circles under his eyes while sweating all over his body, at least he mined one. Although it was very pitiful to think, that the lowest price of equipment like a bow or a sword was at 1000 bronze or 1 gold, with his pace even he mine for an entire month its impossible for him to get one. But this time Ran has a plan. His Plan Works! He quickly held the normal Ore with shaking hands, making sure it was real. He had been so excited about this, now that it is in front of him he can''t help but be nervous. He wanted to achieve the result he was expecting after Modifying the Ore. He already felt the loss of his calm energy, but he had no idea what to do about it, so he just proceeded to his plan agitated. Ding! Normal Ore (Status Before System Modification) -Purity: 5 -Durability: 15/15 -Information: A normal Ore that can be used in crafting basic items but not advisable to use at crafting weapons because of impurities. This ore contains substantial volumes of pure emerald and other minerals, 5% of its volume is pure while the other will naturally convert itself over time, the process may take 50years and above, that is why there is a great margin of difference between the price of normal Ore and rare Ore. He gave one last glance to the Ore and forcefully close his eyes. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. "No matter what I need to successfully modify this one, system use 80% of my soul force and increase this Ore''s purity!" he shouted The Ore started to become hotter and hotter, Ran let it go before the Ore burns his hand, falling in the ground the Ore''s body started to produce traces of steam, from this point, Ran stood as far from the Ore as he could while clenching his shaking hands. Some of its body parts started to melt and in a second an explosion went off, slightly shaking the ground beneath him. Boom!!!! This stumbles Ran on the ground and the notification his been waiting for appeared. "Ding! Modification is completed!" Rare Ore (Status After System Modification) -Purity: 100 -Durability: 30/30 -Information: A 100% pure rare ore that was much more expensive than a normal rare Ore. he stood on shaking knees while reading the description. Although the ore reduces in half it is a genuine rare ore, which is more valuable to a normal rare ore because of 100% purity, normal rare Ore only has 90% purity. But the unforeseen event may befall at Ran, a group of young cultivators happened to be near at his location when the explosion happens. They went out for exploration and just finish looting the beast that they killed when they heard the explosion. Somehow the sound of explosion picks their interest. They are at the group of five, all students from Florencia Sect. They are all awakened cultivators and just needed to be baptized before turning into real cultivators. The name of their leader is Lu Feng, a boy that had an eye of pure mischief and a heart of evil; he had that way of moving the situation that will be favored him, with the glowing rare armor he wears nobody on their group question his authority. " Is that an explosion? " asked by fatty. as the name suggests he is the weakest of them all because of his swollen body. " Let''s go and check it out if in case we will put in danger we have to run as fast as we can I believe the Village of Manta is near at this place, we can run at the village if needed. " Said Lu Feng seriously. Everyone nodded and proceeded their way. At this time Ran woke up on his daze, picked up the rare Ore and while looking at it in his own hands a cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he mopped it away with his forearm.
