Although I hated to admit it, this System thing was quite fun to see sometimes. How it all progresses and how I easily see how much pain. I tell why the mortals here have bee so obsessed with the System and with leveling up and gaining skills. It is certainly quite addig.
It reminded me of the rush of adrenaline I got in my first days as a cultivator, each time I grew a tiny bit stronger, or each time I acquired a special martial art, or every time I defeated a foe I hought I could sy. A simir feeling, although it is mamified? It reminds me of my younger years pying RPG games.
Perhaps I would have even more fun if they were actual challeo me, but well, beggars ’t be choosers. I am already to, and I won’t be nerfing myself to “have fun” or something.

-----
And this skill seems to work just as intended; I store Divine Csses as easily as that! I could bihem ive them to somebody else. By assimiting them, I could probably gain more Mana and Divinity, which seem like the only two stats that I care about. But it wouldn’t be bad to bihem to create something very powerful and grant it to my mother or sister.
I’ll have to think about it for now.
Ding!
[You have sin all members of the Church of Light, and those that survived have been forced to desert their authority as members by you!]
[You have pletely destroyed the Church of Light within the World of Eclipse, the authority of the Tod: {The Brilliant Mother Of Light} has beely weakened due to the ck of stant Faith Points. Her Divinity is growing weaker.]
[The Title [Enemy Of The Church Of The Brilliant Mother Of Light] has been upgraded to [Destroyer of the Church Of The Brilliant Mother Of Light]!]
Ok? I don’t really care.
“S-So you resolved the problem?” My mother asked me curiously as I sat at their side once I arrived ihe Adventurer’s Guild.
A bunch of people had approached me at first, asking me if I wao join their parties after they saw I could practically teleport inside. But I rejected them. They kept insisting, though, so I had to release some of my Immortal Io quickly intimidate them and force them to leave us alone.
Mortals nowadays really believe they get away with asking some Primordial to join their parties by simply insisting endlessly and being overly annoying. But to save fa front of my family, I decided to simply intimidate them ahem go away.
“Ah, yes, I did! The Church of Light will never, ever annoy us again!” I smiled. “In fact, it might never annoy anybody ever again, forever.”
“I don’t even want to think about what you did to those people now…” Ruby sighed, drinking the st amount of tea she had.
“Yeah, let’s just not address that…” My mhed. “I guess as long as you’re okay. Also, I haven’t heard any big explosioher, so I assume things resolved fine enough. Now, shall we get started? You two o get your ten missions dohe first step, however, is tister. e with me.”
“Wele to the Adventurer’s Guild! My name is Peperina, I am still an inexperienced guild assistant, but I hope I be of help! Do you need anything?”
A cute beast girl with long rabbit ears on top of her fluffy clear brown hair greeted us. She was smaller than Ruby and was wearing a cute guild assistant dress of blue and red color. Holy, she was such a cutie that I was barely resistiing her head.
“Hi Peperina! I brought here my two daughters tister them in the Adventurer’s Guild, they o get their ten missions done, after all.” My mother said, showing her lise.
“Oh, it is a k Adventurer! Alright, very well! If they have a e like this, we register them right away without going through a special test.” The rabbit girl nodded after seeing my mother’s lise. “Now, please let me know your personal information. You write it here. Just the simplest of things. You don’t eveo specify your css, but just what it do withiegories, like Warrior, Tanks, Healers, Magis, Teis, Alchemists, and so on!”
“Sure! Sounds easy enough.” Ruby nodded.
“Very well~” I giggled.
I wrote down the information on the paper; it asked for my age, sex, basic special abilities, what my talents were, and the css category. Alongside a little introdu of myself, which was slightly funny, I’ve never seen such a simple registration process for a sect before. Usually, they would make you gh a life-or-death trial.
“Thank you so much! Please wait a tiny bit here; also, there’s a few of ten golds per registration!” Peperina said.
“I’ll pay for them.” Mave the girl a bag of twenty gold s.
“Thanks a lot! I’ll be ba like ten minutes; we o make the lise cards.” The girl said this, quickly leaping away.
While we waited, I couldn’t help but feel the strong gaze of almost every person there. Since I rejected them all, they have gotten very annoying. They were not saying a single word, but they weren’t really approag either. I had not jured any barriers, yet it felt like there was one separating me and my family from them.
Holy, it was quite hirious!
“Big sis, you sure have a bad reputation now." My sister sighed. “Will we ever recover?”
“What are you talking about, Ruby? This is a good reputation! People o know that you’re strong and capable. Those that approach you carelessly are disrespeg you; it means you have a bad reputation and you’re proo getting bullied and abused by others.” I expi to her.
“I-Is that also some sort of Murim thing?” My mother wondered. “I guess she’s not pletely wrong.”
“I… Eeeh, I guess!” Ruby crossed her arms, cheg her phone. “Hmm, Juao the Mine Dungeon again. He’s ioday…”
“Does he work mining inside dungeons all the time? What a dull job. You should find yourself a better man, Ruby.” I told her directly. “Someone as weak and pathetic as him does not have the right to bey beloved sister’s lover.”
“Ugh, shut up! Juan is a good guy! I’ve known him since I ehe uy.” Sighed Ruby. “He’s already graduated as well! But he’s w part-time in mining dungeons because it actually pays better for a F Rank huo do that.”
“Is he really a good guy? The only thing I remember about him was him being pathetically weak and trembling at my voice.” I ughed.
“You’re so out of touch…” Ruby groaned. “He’s fine, and I love him, okay? And he’s good at bed too; that’s a big plus! He got a big one, you know?”
“Big one…? Oh my, I hought my little sister would talk so vulgarly about such things… You’ve surely lost your innoy poor little Ruby.” I sighed. “Maybe I should truly just get rid of that Juan, huh?”
“Ruby! Did you have to talk about that like that?!” My mother reprimanded her as I nodded. “And Katheriop saying such threatening things. At least treat Juan as a member of our family as well, okay? He’s a nice kid.”
“Hah… I suppose there’s no helping it.” I shrugged. “Sorry, Ruby.”
“It’s fine, I guess…” Ruby sighed. “You’ve gohrough a lot, so maybe your brain’s not really well, big sis.”
“Hahaha! I ot deny that!” I ughed. “It is thanks to you two that I behave better within this society that I now see as pletely alien. I’m sorry for my words; they e so naturally out of me sometimes… I am trying to adapt better.”
“It’s fine, dear.” My mother smiled gently, caressing my hands. “We’ll help you get through this.”
“Y-Yeah, don’t worry, okay?” My sister nodded, both of them giving me empathices. “You got us, a you.”
“Aww…” I couldn’t help but hug them both and kiss their cheeks. “I love you two so much; you’re my everything, my dear family! I dreamed for so many years—thousands of years—to meet you. Even now, this feels like a faint dream. But it’s reality, isn’t it?”
“It is…” My mother smiled, kissing my cheek and hugging me back as well. “Now, the girl’s ing back. Enough y stuff for now, Katherine.”
“A-Ah, alright!” I nodded as the girl quickly brought us the lises.
“There you go, ma’am! You’re so tall for a human!” The little Peperina gave me a bronze-colored lise. The same is true for Ruby. “Your name is Bing Xue, isn’t it? And this is for Ruby.”
[You have finally registered as an Adventurer inside of Nexus City, gratutions!]
[Your current Adventurer Rank is F. To further increase your Rank, please gain Guild Renown by pleting all kinds of missions and requests.]
[The higher your Rank, the more bes you will gain within the first floor of the Tower, such as shop dists, the ability to build es with important people, the privilege of accessing VIP areas, and more.]
[You gaihe Title: [Beginner Adventurer]!]
“Thank you, dearie.” I smiled, giving her a gentle head pat; she didn’t seem to mind, perhaps quite used to getting them. “Here, a little gift because you’re so lovely.” I gave her a little box with dy and chocote.
“Oooh! I am not really a child anymore, but I really appreciate it, ma’am! Thank you!” She smiled happily. “Hehe, look guys, she gifted me dies and chocotes! I’m going to have a feast for lunch!” She ran t with her coworkers.
“A-Anyways, now that we’re doh that, I suppose little Peperina decided to let me expin to you how to do this.” My mother said, guiding us to the quest table. Many papers were stuck there. With small words and pictures of creatures or pces. “This is the Quest Board, pick a paper, bring it to the receptionist, and you’ll be registered to do that quest. The quests and Adventurer Ranks vary from F to S Rank.”
“I see, so let’s just pick the S Rank Missions, no? We do them to get the best rewards for Ruby.” I said. “And I guess myself too; I don’t care much about that.”
“A-Are you sure we do that though? S Rank…?” My sister was a bit afraid. “Even if this is the first floor, there are high-level areas far away. Some of them are only visited by Rahat are already experienced, some over Level 300!”
“I see, that doesn’t really matter though.” I shrugged. “I’ll carry you; the experience points will help you level up quickly to 300 too, maybe. How about that, mother?”
“Way ahead of you. Knowing how strong you are, I already knew you would choose the S Rank Missions nobody takes, so here it is. I took these for you.” She hahe papers.
“Oh?” I read through them iail. “Red Giant Ogre King Lair Expeditioch Me an Elixir, Frost Wyvern Mountain Expedition, Spirit Queen Bee Hunt, Forest of Eclipsing Light Exploration… I see, they all sound quite lovely for small little adventures! Shall we go then?”
"First, we must report this back to the guild, Katherine. And if we ’t do it withiime limit, we’ll o pay a fee for it.” My mother said, “But I am sure we do this all within a week.”
“I think a day is enough, but sure, a week do too.” I nodded.
“Y-You’re taking so many S-Rank Missions?!” Peperina panicked. “Are you alright with that?! They’re super-dangerous! Ma’am, your dies are really lovely; I don’t want you to die!”
“It’s fine; I am very strong, dear.” I giggled. “Don’t worry about me.” I wi her.
“A-Ah, well…” She blushed a bit. “T-Then, sure… I guess… Please, if it gets too dangerous, run, okay? There’s nothing wrong with surviving for another day!”
“It’s fihank you for g so much.” I smiled as we left the adventurer guild. “Once we’re done, we’ll e back to show you what we meant! Wait for us, Peperina.”
“E-Eh? O-Okay!” She gulped saliva as she only grew redder; she was so cute. “I’ll be waiting for you, Miss Bing Xue; please be well!”
Once we walked outside of the Adventurer’s Guild, our stop was the nearby Forest of Eclipsing Light, which was a few kilometers away. There, we’ll solve three S-rank missions in a siting. Those are the Spirit Queen Bee Hunt, the Greater Emperor Bear King Hunt, and the Gathering of Eclipsing Sun Rafflesia, a material an alchemist wants, which is apparently guarded by a powerful Pnt Monster.
Along the way, we tried some of the street food, such as skewered monster meat, cheeseburgers, fresh fruit juice, and even ice cream. They had a lot of delieals for a few gold s my mother bought for us. She oiling me a lot; she wao really make me happy.
“Alright, here we are... It took no time at all with your teleportation magic, dear.” My mother was surprised we arrived in front of the forest in a whiff.
“It’s teically just moving really fast, not teleportation. I use the Immortal Essend Photon Essehered on my foot to pierce through spad move through the boundaries of time and space.” I expi to her. “It is a basic teique among Immortals to quickly move across the vastness of Murim with ease.”
“Okaaay… I didn’t uand any of that, but yeah, let’s go!” Ruby was eager to hunt.
“Yeah, let’s…” I sighed as I noticed people were ing. “No, wait a bit. It seems someone is chasing us. They just came with us. Apparently, they also teleport using magic.”
“Wait, what?” My masped as three figures appeared around us in a fsh.
He was an incredibly bulky man, with short red hair and scars, wearing animal pelts around his body, and holding a gigantic golden axe. He resembled some sort of barbarian.
There was also a magi wearing gold and blue robes and holding a staff decorated with a jewel imbued with time and space essence. His face was hiddeh his hoodie.
And stly, a slender leopard beast woman, wearing tight bck robes around her body and holding a pair of long and sharp, venomous daggers.
With a mere gnce, I noticed they were all over Level 1000.
“So these are the little noobs that the goddess is so desperate about?”
“They’re not even Level 200! And that woman is not even Level 500? Hahaha!”
“This will be an easy hunt~”
My mother and my sister quickly panicked, stepping back as they felt the strong pressure of their Auras.
“You must be the Rahat the goddess sent for my bounty, are you?” I wondered, greeting them with a calm smile. “You’ll have one ce; leave this instant, and I will spare your lives. Give aep, and you’re dead.”
“What? Bitch, are you scared? Then just shut the fuck up and die.” The bulky man rushed towards me; his giant axe pushed through spaeholit sed before it was to hack through my entire body.
CRASH!
