Chapter 8: 2 weeks later

Chapter 8: 2 weeks later

It had been 2 weeks since Lumen had started the body training quests, and in that time he had gained a praiseworthy amount of control over his body that roughly put him on the same level as an average human now.

In this time he had also managed to complete a total of 10 body training quests, with his latest quest being [Quest: Body Training (11)].

This had also granted him a very nice amount of stat points to each of his physical stats, plus it gave him a sufficient amount of unallocated stat points to boot.

His status screen now looked like this:

It's safe to say that Lumen was very satisfied with his stats now, even if he had to go through that gruelling training to achieve it. But in hindsight he knew it was 100% worth it.

Over this time period he had also noticed subtle differences between the 21st century Earth he knew from his past, and the current Earth he presided on.

Aside from the fact that there is a mysterious system as well as a completely unknown 'Fantasia Realm' descending in less than a day, there were some differences that stood out from what his restricted knowledge told him. Things like subtle differences in the names of countries, differences in the history of this world etc.

This led him to believe that he had not only time travelled, but he had also been sent to a completely different universe than the one he came from.

Humanity in his world had only step foot in one other Universe than their own, making them complete newbies in the scale of the multiverse, so the possibility of them even knowing this place exists, let alone discovering this place and coming here is miniscule at the highest.

This was quite reassuring to him for now as the human race of the future had become quite domineering in their actions after acquiring cultivation techniques and had upgraded the potential of the entire human race. It was almost like after the events of the cultivation universe declaring war on them, they no longer acted like their kind and cooperative previous selves.

Them coming to this universe would only mean bad things not only for Earth, but for the whole universe.

Putting these thoughts aside, Lumen decided to open the timer for the countdown of the Fantasia realm, with it only being a couple hours away now.

[Countdown to opening of Fantasia realm: 004:12:03]

During his breaks from his body training quests, he also took note of the happenings of the mysterious supernatural events all around the globe.

Around 1 week before hand, a person came forward claiming to be one of the super humans that people were speculating about and conspiracy theories formed around.

When this super human came forward, the world was speculative at first but he soon proved himself by displaying his powers in front of the world, with many experts present to validate his words.

When he used his powers to produce quite a potent flame from anywhere on his body, the people of Earth finally believed him and started asking questions non stop without giving him a chance to explain himself.

However when he managed to calm the people down enough for them to hear him, he only mentioned one thing to them.

And that was the imminent event that was coming that would involve the whole planet.

"In 1 week there will be an event called the 'opening of the Fantasia Realm'. What this is, we do not know. I'm sure all of the other super humans out there can corroborate my words as for each and every one of us, there sits a single row of words on each of our retina's that acts somewhat like a timer from a VR game."

"All this timer says to us is [Countdown to opening of Fantasia Realm: 170:45:54] which gives us a little over 1 week until this 'Fantasia realm' opens on us. Again, nobody knows what this is and what this will entail for the human race."

"However what I can say from my educated guess is that it will most definitely have something to do with the fact that some of us gained something like 'superpowers' at the same time we saw this timer appear."

There was confusion and an aspect of fear within the people of the Earth when the super human said his piece to the world.

As expected, when the first person came forward proclaiming his powers to the world, as well as the opening of the Fantasia Realm, many more came forward to corroborate his statement and displaying their own powers, as if it were some sort of competition to see who had better powers.

Following this came statements from the highest level of every government promising to investigate this 'Fantasia Realm', however they only found out as much as the super humans themselves, as it seemed no body had any idea of what would come from this.

All but one person of course.

Lumen didn't plan on letting the world know more details about the Fantasia Realm, as he himself didn't know much more than them.

All the system had told him is that it is a realm of infinite adventures as well as a place for him to raise his level, which would in turn allow him to raise his 'Soul tier', which the system hinted at being supremely important to material beings such as him.

This also led him to believe that letting more people in on this info wouldn't bring him more benefits than it would drawbacks, as if an opportunity to quite literally level up your life was just handed to billions of people like this, then there would surely be intense competition to stand above others and obtain more benefits for one self.

Plus Lumen had only just obtained a human status, and so he felt quite detached from the people of this planet, especially after how humans treated him in his old world.

He definitely wouldn't take kindly to anyone who decided to stand in his way.
