Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Street of Alls.

Lee was walking through the street after sneakily crossing the wall. He used that portion of wall which was almost at the verge of collapse. Since that part is near to the stinky slum, the mayor denied to repair it. Mayor added that those who are trying to enter through that portion must be desperate to get inside the city.

Lee wandered through the streets for more than two hours. He woke up from his daydream when he heard a feminine scream from a distance. Lee peeked at the Map and D commented-

[Mo family elders have been rescued!]

Lee entered the inn and went up the stairs. The goblin girl tried to keep herself resolute, but her eyes eventually followed Lee. His physique was a drug to females.

The door was closed behind him as he entered the door. He went straight to the table with a serious face. He sat at the table with his mind lost in thoughts. The right hand moved itself and supported his chin while the left hand's fingers rhythmically tapped on the table. He soon heaved a sigh and probed D.

'D, anything to buy with Essence?'

[You can either buy the Gravity element beast crystal of Netherworld Leviathan for 62000 Essence, or the Space element beast crystal of the 17-headed Hydra for 80000 Essence.]

'I retract my question.'

Lee hesitated for a second, then took out the 'Codex Fero'. Lee felt his heart racing to open it in an instant, but D ordered him to keep his resolve unwavering. The abnormal beat calmed down in his chest.

"Codex Fero"

Lee read it once again to make sure that he can read it clearly, and it is not his mind playing games with him. He placed the book on the table to inspect it. D advised him to use 'View' on it, in case of any unknown or unnoticed dangers. Lee stood up and took a step backward, and used 'View'.

=====

Name: Codex Fero.

Author: -----

Description: The name 'Codex Fero' stands for 'Book of the Wild'. The accurate information regarding the language is not available, but it does have similarities with the Latin of Earth. Any information about the origin or the author of the book is obscured permanently. The book contains detailed information about the wild creatures of Utopia. The information contains anatomy and psychology of the beasts. The written language is undecipherable.

=====

[You know Lee, I am doubting my own existence as the Dimension Sovereign. So many mysterious objects have entered into this dimension without my knowledge.]

'Relax D. You are the strongest in this dimension. But there might be beings on a whole new scale of strength in other ones. Be glad that they did not barge in here.'

Lee slowly opened the bundle of parchments. He did it with utmost care, as they are at least a century old. The inner pages were greyish brown in colour. In those pages lie the detailed drawings of wild animals. The first page contained the smallest insect and the later pages had larger ones. Though he could not read, he scanned the anatomy and drawings of each beasts with keen interest. He tried to decode the language when he saw the pages of Spikehog, Cold Nyx Silver beast, Cold Wild Wolf and Horned-Mow. His attempt ended up in a failure as he realised that the language has at least 45 alphabets. The book instantly disappeared into the Inventory upon this revelation.

8 A.M.

7250 Essence harvested.

*sigh*

'Buy the Space element crystal and Gravity element crystal.'

[.....sure?!]

'Just buy it!'

[Okay....and done.]

'Directly absorb them.'

[Acquired Space element affinity and Gravity element affinity. Only two more to go!]

'And that two will take a lot of time!'

[No comments. By the way, you have looted a lot of things from the underground facility. Sort them now, or it will be a burden even to look at.]

Lee nodded and bought out things one by one. He started with the three big tables. With his consent, the gold and silver coins were added to his Money.

The relics and artifacts came out of the Inventory. When Lee was inspecting them, D gave an approximate oral account of the object's origin, affiliation and use. Except for eight, all were expensive visual decoratives, made of gold and silver. Lee kept them in the storage ring so that he could present them to others.

The eight lithic objects that caught D's attention had power imbued in them. They were of distinct and different colours, but were in fact the pieces of a single relic. When arranged, it revealed itself to be the fragments of some circular stone block. The different colours were due to its multi coloured rings on it. As Lee put them in its approximate places, the rock pieces began to tremble faintly. Before Lee's eyes, two pieces that were touching each other merged and became one big piece. They merged so perfectly that one cannot believe that they were two different pieces a second before. The trembling faded away instantly.

Neither one of them had any idea of what had happened. Lee carefully tapped the pieces a few times to confirm that they are inactive. He didn't wait to store them in his Inventory.

[Lee, I assume that those stone fragments belong to an object which is definitely in or above the Force grade. Only such overriding objects have the property of restoration. But from its performance, it is more than 3 centuries old.]

'Hmm…..Force grade, eh?! Looks like we hit the jackpot!'

[Not really. We only have a few fragments with us. That too is less than 12% of the total volume. We can only hope to come across more fragments.]

Lee nodded and brought out the third table. It had its drawers filled with papers and documents. While a good portion of it was related to the slave trading transactions, the leftover papers were incriminating evidence against all corrupt officials in the city of Alls. If the great king Aizil ever came to know about this, he would personally escort these corrupt and greedy men to the doors of hell!

There was nothing interesting, so it was stored back in the Inventory rather quickly. Lee glanced at the Map and saw that the store they infiltrated yesterday was yet to be opened. He snickered as he imagined the magnitude of unrest the news can produce.

Upon remembering something, Lee immediately opened up the status panel. He told D to use 800 Essence to upgrade the recently acquired affinities. His eyes did not stop until it reached the last skill obtained.

"Taming!"

The name itself presented an approximate understanding. Lee was more focused on the letter 'O' and the blank spaces in the brackets. He guessed that it might be the level of progress.

[Yes. It is the level of progress. As you can see, your progress is at O grade. Every grade has a necessary amount of progress to acquire before upgrading. This is the lowest grade of all. To have an O grade is literally equivalent to not having the skill.

Above O grade lies the G grade and above it is the F grade. You can understand it more easily if you take a look at this chart.]

A panel appeared with some information on it.

=====

G grade - Success rate 5%.

Progress: 1 point.

F grade - Success rate 8%.

Progress: 5 points.

E grade - Success rate 20%.

Progress: 30 points.

D grade - Success rate 32%.

Progress: 210 points.

C grade - Success rate 46%.

Progress: 1,890 points.

B grade - Success rate 62%.

Progress: 20,790 points.

A grade - Success rate 80%.

Progress: 270,270 points.

S grade - Success rate 100%.

No further progress.

=====

[The lowest grade O, can be upgraded to G if you catch a wild animal appropriate for you, without taking any injuries.

Each animal you successfully tame contributes one progress point. Thus, if you tame 1 animal, you get promoted to F grade. Then, Tame 5 animals to reach E grade from there.

Failure to tame an animal must always be expected. The animal that had been failed to tame has a 50% chance to become aggressive.

The success rate is an approximate value. The rate can increase for animals weaker than you while it can plummet for anything even slightly powerful than you. The rate is also dependent on the mental and physical state of the animal. The peaceful the beast is , the easier it is to tame.]

'Then what about Flight?'

[Each hour of successful flight contributes you one point. You have flown for a total of 3 hours. Thus you have 2 points in F grade.]
