Chapter 7: Zone of Serenity part 1

The sky still dark when Adeline reach the mouth of the forest. She saw several white horned bunnies but that is not why she is here. She closes her eyes and played the information she got from Ranulf.

Adeline frowned a bit, " You want me to enter to that place? I thought it is one of the most dangerous place in this kingdom, that is why most people abandon the suzaku area due to what happened centuries ago?" Ranulf laugh, "Who told you? Humans? What if I told you the dwarves also have their own version of the story?" Adeline was skeptical at first but knowing her experienced back during her internship she just sigh and murmured," some patients give a different story to the interns and also to the residents or consultants." Ranulf blinked three times, "you saying something?" Adeline blurted, "nothing, just continue." Ranulf then continue, " The lost Forest is divided into three zone. The first zone is the zone of serenity which again divided into four tiers. The entire zone is home for the monster level 1-100 and then divided by 4. The first tier is home of the beasts and plants of level 1-25, that is where you hunt your chicken. Now here is the tricky part. Many amateur adventurers ventured the forest thinking that the zone of serenity only has one road which is correct but there is only one true path if one wants to proceed to the next zones and that is the path of tier 4. Just to remind you that all tiers are part of the zone of serenity. Tier 1 -3 are all dead end, only tier 4 is considered as a true path. The last thing that you need to remember before proceeding to the next zones is that the four tier path switches every week. For these week, the tier 1 can be found second from your right, if you're facing the four entrances." "What about the next zones," Adeline curiously asked. Ranulf shakes his head, " I don't think the next zones is important to you as of the moment. The next zone are home for beasts level 101-200. I viewed you as a person who is not a fool." Ranulf pondered a bit, "and the last zone is also considered the bridge towards the lost continent called the land of the Yellow Emperor. The beast in there is very strong."

Adeline opened her eyes and take her first step towards the entrance of the lost forest. Adeline murmured, "According Ranulf, there should a be a big space and I should be facing the four path." Along the way to this space that Ranulf was talking about, Adeline noticed that the trees from the entrance are tall as 25-50 feet but the moment she went deeper, the trees became shorter, maybe less than 25 feet. After 20 minutes of walking, Adeline reached the space that Ranulf mentioned. At the middle of the place is a circular stone with the diameter of 5 meters. There is a carving of a single white crane flying. Its eyes are socketed with emerald gem and in front of Adeline are the four path that Ranulf mentioned Adeline slowly walks towards where the tier 1 should be located.

The tier one path is just a simple path. No majestic wall carving, only a close knitted trees act as a wall. When she reaches the tier 1 she saw several horned bunnies so she still continues to walks till she reaches the flocks of level 5 chicken. Adeline saw a several level 5 male chicken. The male has the same color as their counterpart but their body is a bit slender and they are a bit taller.

The system beep twice, " Adeline I would suggest that you raise you level and maximized your mastery in this area. The stronger you are the more that you can catch high level ingredients." Adeline agree with what the system. The system continue to talk, " I suggest you stay here for 10 days, I think that is enough for your rice to be harvested." Adeline refuted, " wait….I told Renulf that I will come back at 12pm, what if he will tell my grandfather that I should be there at 12pm, he might get worried and storm his way to this palce." The system beep again, "Don't worry, I will send a message to your grandfather" Adeline blurted," How will you do it?" The system beep, "There is another rectangular window inside the land of Gaea, I placed it near the door before you left." Adeline shakes her head with disbelief and laugh, "so it's like a text, okay that is fair enough."

-----Inn-shop—Land of Gaea—

Cardo was lying on the grass when he heard 5 beeps and immediately he saw a rectangular window near the door and it was blinking. The windows have a transparent yellow color. Out of curiosity Cardo approached the yellow windows: - Grandfather, I will be staying here in the lost forest for 10 days but don't worry, I know my way out. Please don't harvest yet the entire plants, just wait for my return before you do that. Kindly tell Ranulf the dwarf that I will be officially opening the shop 16 days from now----Adeline.

Cardo was worried but knowing Adeline's current temperament, I don't think he has the right to get worried, "Oh! Well, I just going to deal with the bland taste of rice pudding."

-----Back to the lost Forest

The system beep again," Your father already received the message….." Adeline nodded, "Adeline in order for you to capture those level 5 chicken, you need to be strong as well. The first thing that should know is the mastery level. If you check the spells beside it, there is a letter. That letter corresponds to your mastery. From lowest to highest are F-E-D-C-H-B-A-S-M. Now here comes that use of stat points, for example your spell water spurt would generate 100cc of water per cast.

Due to your affinity is just 10% then the base water you generate per cast is also low unlike if you're in the 100% or more. For every 10% is equivalent to 100cc, so people who have 100% affinity then they will generate 1000cc as their base/per cast. Every time your mastery level increases the amount of water you generate will also increases.? The system showed Adeline.

• F 100cc

• E 100cc

• D 100cc

• C 100cc

• H 100cc

• B 200cc

• A 500cc

• S 1200cc

• M 2000cc

The system explained, "For F to H, you will only add the base one. When you reach B you will multiply the base water you generate. The A you will add F-A. The S you will add everything. When you reach mastery almost all people who have a water sprout spell has a fix amount to add which is 2000cc. If you reach mastery your water sprout spells the total amount of water that you conjure will be 4,400 per cast. Here comes the use of your wisdom, one need to multiply it from your final output, your 4400cc will be multiply by .11 since you have 11 points of wisdom then you add it to your base. Of if you have 4400 then you just add the 484 so your total output will be 4884cc per cast."

Adeline was shocked, "This is very well calculated output. Never thought magic and math will coincide." The system blurted, "you will be surprised." Adeline faintly laugh, " What about the intelligence?" The system responded," The intelligence usefulness is incline to how fast you comprehend the spell, your casting time and how fast you master the said spells. For the other attributes, I will just tell you when you have the ability that will relate to that stat." Adeline nodded, "So how do I increase my mastery again?" The system responded, "Simple! Repetition is the key of perfection or near perfection." Adeline laugh, "Just like medicine, need to reread several times before one will be able to familiar the words or comprehend it."

For the next hour Adeline continuously use the water spurt spell and now it reaches D but his mana points is already depleted so she sat on meditative form and realized that within one hour of this position her mana points increases by 11 points. The system beep 10 times, "You created a skill called meditation stance -mastery F, this will affect all your regenerative points multiply by 1.1." Adeline nodded.

Four days has passed and Adeline only ate wild fruits when she is hungry then uses the same spell all over again. Her newly acquired spell reaches M already. Regenerative points can be multiplied by 3. Since the meditation stance does not use any stamina or mana point it was the first of her spell that reaches the mastery of M and followed by the water sprout which also reach the mastery of M. The system beep 5 times, "Congratulations! you mastered two abilities. Please accept the this experienced points.

• Experience points gained 500 for Meditation stance mastered

• Experience points gained 300 for Water spurt mastered.

*Sometimes, simply by sitting the soul collects wisdom* ----Zen Proverb-----

I would like to clarify that my story word count is around 500-1500. Rest and assure that I will not post Adeline stat windows alone just to make may novel longer. Majority of my chapter reaches 1000 words and more, without counting Adeline's stat.

Usually, I will place Adeline's entire stat at the end of every chapters.
