Current Access: Myriad Stars Academy.

[ Missions ]: None currently. ( In 1 hour. )

[ Main Tests ]: Comprehend two Mystic Intents at Intermediate level----> Reward: 60 Credits ( Time Limit: 3 years )

[-Concept Builds-]

...

An hour passed by as Athan and Tiana heard the notification of the mission.

[ A joint mission has been issued to you and your partner ]

[ Defeat an Origin Grade 3 beast, Cloud Lightning Deer ]

---> Total Reward: 2 Relax Incense and 20 Credits. ( time limit: 1 Month. )

OR [ Defeat an Origin grade 4 beast, Nefar Diamond Bull ]

---> Total Reward: 4 Relax Incense and 40 Credits. ( Time Limit: 1 Month. )

...

Origin Intent Plane has 4 stages, Elementry, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master which correlates to the Level of intents. But Magical beasts' grading is different.

They instead have round cores inside their bodies. Grade 1 & 2 magical beasts can be defeated by Elementry Origin Stage students, while Grade 3 & 4 magical beasts can be defeated by Intermediate Origin Stage students and so on.

Athan smiled seeing the mission and said, " Let's finish this and start practicing. The next missions will become harder gradually. and the Relax Incense will be helpful to you, They cost 30 Credits each and we are getting 4 for this easy mission. "

Tiana nodded as they both started the mission.

...

Athan could defeat this Bull alone but Tiana wouldn't be able to defeat it even though they are both intermediate Origin Stage Because Athan had comprehended more Intents at Intermediate Level while Tiana only comprehended one Intent at the intermediate level so her Overall Combat Ability was quite lower than Athan's.

The bull had a very hard defense and it attacked with the sound element.

But with Athan's high offensive power and agility, The bull was defeated easily in a few minutes, while Tiana didn't even have to move.

[ Joint Mission completed. Rewards split: Athan--> 2 Relax Incense, 20 Credits. Tiana--> 2 Relax Incense, 20 Credits. ]

After receiving rewards, Athan directly transfers 2 Relax Incense to Tiana as he didn't need those things.

He then looked at the mission and saw that the next mission will take not 1 day but 1 whole month.

Tiana said, " I think the next mission will be harder so they are giving us more time to practice as they also gave us Relax Incense for training. "

Athan then said to Tiana while Activating his Digiband.

" You stay here to comprehend your 2nd intent at Intermediate level after lighting a Relax Incense while I go visit the Virtual World to check out some things. "

After saying this, He entered the virtual World.

He directly went towards the Academy store area and found what he was looking for after a minute.

[ Intent Store ]

Many students were also entering this exact store which had wide-open doors.

Of course, you can't buy intents from here. But you can buy similar things like Intent Slates which were sold in Point shop previously.

The use of Intent Slates was such that, They might open a door for you towards that intent but comprehending it to Master Level is entirely on one's ability.

Athan thought while he entered the store, ' I just need to buy the cheapest thing because comprehending intent inside the black whirlpool can increase my comprehension ability to a height which even I'm unaware of. '

But after he entered the store, He was dumbfounded because it was a small store and there was no one besides him.

' What the heck is going on? '

" Please put your left on the table to initiate the Intent Store. "

A voiced sound inside the store as Athan did as instructed and after that, A hologram lit up in front of him.

Athan saw that the big hologram had lists of Elemental and Mystic Intents.

' But where did other students go? Could it be that...All of the students enter their personal small store like this? ' Athan thought that this should be the case as this is a virtual world.

He first activated his Digiband and filtered S Rank Concepts.

" I'll first realize an S rank concept from this because it would be easier and after I achieve the Genesis Conceptual Plane I will try to realize my own concept. "

The reason he decided this was because the faster he completes his main missions and steps into Genesis conceptual Plane, The more rewards he will get and also more opportunities as told by both Yegan and Professor Lom.

He then began taking look at those S rank concepts.

After looking for a while, He found an S rank concept that matched his current comprehended Elemental Intents and only required for him to comprehend Mystic Intents.

[ Concept of Destructive Orbs ]- S Rank

- Elemental Intents: Fire Intent, Water Intent, Lightning Intent, Air Intent, Dark Intent.

- Mystic Intents: Vibration Intent, Repel Intent, Attract Intent, Speed Intent, Gravity Intent.

[ Purchase Detailed information about this concept for 50 Credits. ]

Athan chose to buy the detailed information for 50 credits but instead of receiving Detailed information, he received a lecture.

[ Student Athan, You can only buy detailed information about concepts when you have at least mastered one intent or after attending the 2nd lecture which will happen after exact 5 months, 3 days, and 14 hours. ]

[ For now, Just focus on Mastering the Intents because without mastering intents, You can only dream about realizing S rank concepts. Good luck. ]

Athan was speechless...

' Screw you, It's not like I will be overwhelmed by the new information. ' Shaking his head, He pressed his hand on the mystic Intent Listed in this Concepts to buy them.

[ Intent Slate - 10 Credits. ]

[ Intent Slab - 50 Credits. ]

[ Intent Inscribe Tablet - 100 Credits. ]

" looks like there are better versions but I only need Slates. "

He then bought Intent Slates of Vibration Intent, Attract Intent, Speed Intent, and Gravity Intent before leaving the shop.

But instead of going back, he entered another building which had [ Help & Queries ] written.

There were also many students entering but the situation was similar to Intent Store.

In the small room...

[ Please ask your question ]

" Is there any artifact that can let a person's consciousness enter another person's body? "

[ There is, and It is known as Consciousness Carrier. But After one enters Soul Altar Plane, They can move the consciousness out of the body so it is not recommended to waste Credits on buying such items and instead buy resources to progress faster. ]

" How much it costs? "

[ Please look into Artifact Store for such information. ]

After leaving this store, He walked a bit more before finding the Artifact Store and entered.

After entering, He didn't waste time looking through the list and directly wrote Consciousness Carrier on the search bar which was on top of the filter.

[ Consciousness Carrier ]

- Price: 200 Credits.

" 200 credits...But it's worth it if Tiana can also enter inside the black whirlpool and comprehend Intents there. otherwise, with how things are, I will keep getting stronger while she will remain weak. " Athan murmured as he looked at the Artifact.

' Currently, I have 77 Credits while Tiana must have around 70 credits. ' Thinking of this, he nodded as they would be able to buy it after completing the new mission after a month.

He then left the shop and returned to the real world.

Seeing that Tiana was comprehending the Intents with a Relax Incense by her side, Athan also sat crossed-legged before sending his consciousness towards the depth of the Black whirlpool while bringing Attracter Intent Slate with him.

He then found his Mystic Force seemed to have increased in quantity.

Looking at his stats he was surprised to find that his Mind stat had been increased by 10.

<Stats>

Strength: 100

Constitution: 100

Mind: 30 ( Mystic Force )

' Could it be...because I successfully comprehended Elementry Level of Repel Intent? Hmm...this must be the case, So we have to comprehend Mystic Intents to increase our mind stat. '

He then focused on comprehending the Attract Intent with his consciousness in a very focused mode.

...

After 2 days, He had successfully comprehended the Elementry Level of Attract Intent.

The principal of Repel and Attract Intent was similar yet opposite.

Repel is to Push away while Attract is to pull in.

Opening his eyes, He saw that Tiana was still in deep meditation so he continued to comprehend These two mystic Intents to reach the Intermediate level in them.

...

After 3 days, He successfully comprehended the Intermediate Level of Repel Intent but seeing that Tiana was still in meditation, He also continued and after another 3 days, He reached the Intermediate Level of Attract Intent.

Just as he opened his eyes, He heard Tiana's voice.

" So you finally woke up. " Tiana was coming towards him with a big plate.

Athan's nose twitched as he smelled good food.

Tiana put the plate before him and saying with a smile, " I finished my Meditation and now I just need one more session of deep meditation to reach Intermediate Level in Dark Intent. I also bought some seasonings from Public Market to make these fishes tastier. "

" What about your progress? " She asked after sitting down in front of Athan while serving the grilled fishes.

Athan answered with a grin, " Let's first eat, I'm too hungry and I also have good news for you. "

" What good news? "

" I'll tell you later, Let's eat first. The smell is too good. It's been a long time since I'll eat something tasty. "

...

After they were done eating, Athan said with a grin, " I have reached Intermediate Level in two mystic Intents in these 8 days. "

Tiana's hands twitched a bit hearing that as she felt anxious feelings welling up inside her heart.

Athan noticed this and hugged her before caressing her back and said, " Don't worry, The good news is that, I also have a way to increase your progression in Intents. The thing you are fearing...I will not let that happen. Remove those thoughts like you are not worthy of me because you are and even right now you are not and won't be a burden to me...Ever. "

Tears started to fall from her eyes as Tiana started crying, Not because she was sad but because she was happy.

...

Afterward, Inside their newly created bed with bouncing leaves, A passionate battle filled with pleasure started.
