Kayden was too lazy to explain everything to the cat, but he felt he owed this consideration to Felix. With just a few words in the chat, he explained what happened and apologized for dragging the feline with him.
"Don’t worry, I was getting bored on Earth since you left. Give me something as an excuse and we’ll be even." Felix, in fact, spent some decades sleeping and others training alone; he was already accustomed to a life of solitude.
Kayden pulled out a huge fish for the cat and told him to go through the presentation and understand how the system worked. For Kayden, it was intuitive, but it could be complicated for anyone who has never encountered something like this.
"I need a few years here to max out the fourth kingdom, after that, we can leave," Kayden said and saw Felix nod and ask for food. The boy gave the cat a few tons of food and sat down.
"Hello, my viewers, I’m sorry to inform you, but I will be idle for a few decades. Come back in a few years." With that, Kayden sat down and began cultivating.
Most thought it was just a bluff, and it worked. Kayden gained a huge audience along with Felix over the next few days, but unfortunately, everyone was disappointed as they watched the months and years begin to pass by.
While Felix just slept and woke up to eat now and then and very rarely trained any skills, but nothing exotic or unique, Kayden just stood still. Even vines began to grow on them.
This situation caused Kayden and Felix’s audience to drop to ridiculously low levels. Only a few crazy people who were waiting for him to wake up were watching. The pair’s rank dropped from the letter E to F. F-rank participants were very rare.
Only those who were at the end of their lives and no longer had the means to provide entertainment reached this level, but that didn’t matter to Kayden. He just continued cultivating without knowing this matter.
The mana density didn’t influence Kayden’s leveling speed much, and the entire process took about two decades. After so long, he finally reached the absolute peak of the fourth realm.
His strength was ridiculously high. If he were with his concepts, he might be able to represent an absolute power in this realm. But, at the moment, he believed that his maximum would be to face someone with six lightning bolts at the same level of strength.
Being able to rival someone with six rays was only thanks to the amount of mana available that maximized the effect of his path. If it was earlier, Kayden would probably only be able to face someone with five lightning bolts.
"Felix, I’m done." Kayden felt the cat that was at the sixth level of the fourth realm and let out a sigh. Some were blessed. The animal didn’t even respond, it just woke up, laid down on Kayden’s shoulder, and went back to sleep.
Kayden took a look at the system and saw his F rank. Without giving it much thought, he saw some new information that appeared to him. The kingdom’s newspaper published that a huge war was raging in the region and that everyone was free to choose a side, the rebels or the monarchy.
Kayden knew he was in just one of the kingdoms of this immense space of land. There were several dozen countries only those below the sixth realm were present. Without much to lose, Kayden decided to just face a few opponents.
As soon as he stepped outside the cave, he took a deep breath and felt the breeze hitting his body. A red sun was in the sky; its color didn’t influence the light or the pleasant heat that hit Kayden’s skin.
Kayden’s spiritual sense was reduced by a large margin, only remaining at 100 kilometers again. This place wasn’t as dense as space, but the difference was that Kayden was clueless at the moment, probably the only madman in the fourth realm to attempt something like this.
It only took him a few minutes to find a person flying. Kayden let her see that he was there because he was just a teenager in the third realm, probably only 20 years old, with a level of strength far higher than that of his universe.
"Hello, I need some information." Kayden decided to be neutral but made it clear that he was the person who would direct the conversation. The teenager in front of him was visibly nervous and just nodded.
"Explain to me everything about this region and where the city is..." Kayden was about to say "human city" when he noticed that the teenager had three eyes and three fingers on each hand.
"I am a native, sir." This line would prevent many players from killing the teenager, but that wasn’t the case with Kayden. "I’m going to my hometown, a small village to the west. We only have a few thousand people and we are one of the few pure natives. We are in the kingdom of Wales, one of the environments with the most wizards of all the kingdoms, and currently at war."
"What is the policy towards foreigners in your city and how strong is the strongest man?" Kayden asked as gears turned in his head.
"We have no problem welcoming peaceful players. The village leader is someone at the peak of the fourth realm, but most people are also at the fourth realm, stuck at some point." Kayden had truly come to a world where big sharks ruled.
**Kayden and Felix in a New World of Magic: Facing the Reality of Lightning and Cultivating Power**
"What is the average radius?" This question would define the way he would approach people on this new planet.
"The majority get five rays and a large portion get six rays, while a select few get seven rays." The words "chosen few" rang in Kayden’s head.
He came to a place with a completely ridiculous strength paradigm. Only a small town in the interior had the capacity to accommodate a few people with seven rays. Entering this village was relatively risky. Evading multiple challengers was not difficult for Kayden, but facing a city prepared with runes was impossible for him.
"Why do you have so many magicians with seven rays and trapped in the fourth realm?" Kayden asked with sincere doubt.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
"Sorry, sir, but I didn’t understand the question." The teenager showed confusion on his face.
"Aren’t they supposed to be future gods who easily climb the paths of power?" His sentence caused the teenager to look at Kayden strangely.
"Sir, we have several people with high radii, but only a few have the talent to climb the realms. Most just want to have a normal life." Kayden was silent for a few seconds until a realization came to him.
Probably, on this planet, high-level techniques were available to everyone with some sacrifice. Furthermore, the amount of mana was not a real deterrent to people. In the end, the quantity of lightning was not synonymous with talent in this place. This was obvious when seeing so many people trapped in the fourth realm in this city, as the first great barrier was precisely the fifth realm.
"Sign a soul oath promising that all your words were true," Kayden requested, and the teenager in front of him didn’t hesitate, but...
"Are you going to do it the uncivilized method?" Kayden looked at him doubtfully, and that made the boy just lower his head. "Never mind." Knowing no other way, Kayden took the oath.
"How long have we been from your city?" Kayden asked after the oath.
"Three days of flying straight, sir." Kayden found it too long.
"Point the direction and I’ll take you with me." The teenager took a drop of his blood from his thumb and burned it directly in the air. Instantly, he pointed in a direction. Kayden tied him with a mana chain and left at high speed.
After a few hours, Kayden had to ask for directions again, and the teenager did the same spell as before. What was supposed to be three days was done in just one day. The path could be covered in less time by the teenager, but the problem was the beasts and other players along the way.
Kayden left his aura open at all times, and this meant that no one dared to face him. Even the other players stood aside when they saw Kayden, his realm and strength were very high.
"We’re here, kid." Kayden woke the teenager who was sleeping on the chain. In front of him stretched a huge lake thousands of kilometers long. Just a few kilometers from the edge was a city on the water.
The city had no streets and the houses were a few meters wide and long. They did not extend downwards or upwards, which meant that the space was occupied extensively. The city, which shouldn’t even be a dozen kilometers long, was almost three dozen.
Kayden could sense a few thousand people with just a few large pockets of strength. Most were strong in terms of kingdom and quality, but they gave off a feeling of peace and... of common people.
