Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"This... an error? How?'

Seeing that his scan skill was incapable of detecting Leo's current level, Sebastian couldn't help but unfold a shocked expression on his face. Pondering deep within his mind, as assumption immediately forms within his mind.

"A utilization of soul power? The intermediate one?"

Sensing that Leo was being coated by the imperceptible soul energy, Sebastian unfolded an interesting smile on his face...

Already quite sure that Leo was the being who intercepted the low devil from further destroying the foundation of the town that night.

"However...'

Followed by that, the sensation of doubt began to appear within his being, quite suspicious regarding how Leo managed to achieve the Core Formation realm in just a matter of less than two months!

"Is it related to his class job that leans on potion making? or it's due to his unknown cultivation technique? Probably it was both...

"How enviable..."

Shaking his head, seeing that the group began to inspect Leo's pale physique, quite worried about his well-being and how cold his body was.

Sebastian leisurely stretched his hand toward the void, retracting it in the next second as the wooden book could already be seen in his grasp.

Carefully fixing the monocle on his left eye, Sebastian unfold a smile on his face before unhurriedly approaching Leo in the short distance, waving his hand that was grasping the wooden book toward Leo's direction before unhurriedly tossing it toward the latter...

Causing the group to unfold a knowing expression on their face upon seeing the familiar book hurling in the air.

...

Hmm?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing the wooden book within the atmosphere, approaching his location at considerate speed, Leo unfold a confused look in his eyes... Using his telekinesis skill as he manipulated it toward his direction, grasping it within his right hand as he weakly read the faint words written on its thick cover.

"A General Knowledge for Cultivator?"

Glancing toward Sebastian with a questioning look. Only to see the latter gesture toward him to open the wooden book.

Leo sighed slightly, feeling helpless and confused before he unhurriedly unfurled the pages of the book, reading a couple of its pages in a matter of short minute...

Couldn't help but unfold a shocked expression on his face afterward due to the refined and high information it contained.

"This... This information is too precious, are you really giving me this?"

"Hehe~ all of the newly ascended Core Formation realm being on the town has a copy of it, don't worry too much... Just accept it in order to deepen your basic knowledge regarding cultivation."

Understanding Leo's worry, Rosa who happened to be close to Leo abruptly opened her mouth... Explaining how she received the same book when she advanced toward the core formation realm within the depths of the endless forest.

Then began to speak on how she managed to survive the unceasing onslaught of the lightning on her advancement. Slightly boasting her impressive understanding of Rule and so on...

Causing Leo to unfold a strange expression on his pale face due to Rosa's barrage of unending words, feeling that his ears were about to pop up after minutes of listening to Rosa.

***

Soon, after another 2 hours of conversation.

The group finally bid farewell to Leo, exiting the bland cemetery afterwards upon seeing that the sun already vanished from the far horizon, dyeing the firmament above with a rich orange hue as pure darkness began to appear toward the far East...

Making Leo heave a deep sigh of exhaustion upon beholding the disappearing silhouettes of the group from the rusting gate of the bland cemetery.

Feeling fortunate that the group didn't ask him too many questions regarding his swift cultivation speed. Furthermore, they seemed not to notice that something was amiss with his physique!

Allowing him to save some of his mental energy from coming up with lies that they would forcefully believe!

Huff~

Unfolding a weak smile on his face, sensing that the Yin energy within the area of the bland cemetery began to drastically increase due to the help of the lightless night...

Leo began to retreat toward the depths of the bland cemetery, wanting to enter the forsaken pit before reading the wooden book that Sebastian gave him!

Furthermore, other than that, Sebastian also gives him some of the bones of the Nascent Soul Snake that his Old man killed within the depths of the endless forest!

Making him extremely excited upon getting his hands on high-level materials!

Understanding, that the chance for him to create a puppet beyond the advanced grade finally arrived!

A puppet with capabilities that are not weaker than a Core Formation realm being!

"In addition to that, I also needed to go to the town twice a week in order to do my job...

"Fortunately, Sebastian readily accepted my request to build a clinic within the town... Making the difficulty of finding gravely injured being drastically reduced."

...

Boom!

Pitter... Patter... (Sounds of water droplets.)

Thick water hurriedly splashed toward the void, creating ripples that travelled toward the unknown distance, destroying the eternal silence within the place as Leo lightly patted the cold water that stuck to his physique due to his abrupt descent...

Swish!

Summoning a ball of flame in the next second, making the temperature in the short distance increase drastically, evaporating the liquid within his wet clothes in the process.

"Finally!"

Feeling satisfied, Leo excitedly took out the wooden book within his inventory. Could already feel the anticipation coursing through his being as he began to read the information it carried seriously...

Focusing on the knowledge it contained as he hurriedly became engrossed in its explanation and vastness.

Clearing some of his doubts regarding cultivation and gaining knowledge that he wasn't previously aware of.

Furthermore, he began to understand realms beyond his level and the mysterious abilities they could use and muster! Making him feel insignificant upon understanding the strength they carried!

In addition to that, he also comprehends how he could further utilize his current strength, technique, and skills...

Making his combat capabilities slightly higher in the process!

Huff~

"Other than that, I also gained deeper knowledge of how I could deepen and hasten my comprehension of certain rules...'

***

"I see, I understand now... I didn't expect that there's too much realm beyond the Core Formation realm, to the point that I couldn't see its end...

"Sigh~ how amazing and depressing at the same time!"

Closing the wooden book in his grasp before putting it inside his inventory.

Leo's eyes could be faintly discern releasing an intense brilliance of wisdom as he stared at the damp and dark atmosphere, feeling enlightened upon comprehending the knowledge that the book contained!

Pondering deep within himself, feeling that he needed to slightly change his plans upon reading the book.

...

Keke~

"As expected, above the Core Formation realm is the Nascent Soul realm, followed by the Soul Formation realm and Void Amalgamation realm.'

As for what lay beyond the Void Amalgamation realm, Leo was currently unaware of it since the book didn't specify them... It only told him that there are still realms beyond the Void Amalgamation realm!

Causing him to overthink for a while due to his intense curiosity.

Soon, shaking his head upon being unable to come up with guesses. Leo hurriedly focused his mind on the specialties of every realm... Wanting to imprint it within the depths of his consciousness in order to ready himself when the time came.

"Nascent Soul realm, I didn't expect that other than the complete domain that could accumulate more than one living being inside them... The space within their complete domain was also 10 times larger than that of the incomplete domain!

"Furthermore, upon advancement, they would also gain a soul-bound beast egg! An egg that contains an unknown beast inside them!

"Not only the beasts were extremely loyal to their master, but they were also extremely intelligent! Although not comparable to an adult, their intelligence could still rival a 13-15 year old child!"

Taking a deep breath, calming his nerves down due to the sheer excitement, Leo again continued.

"Unfortunately, in order to completely hatch the egg, a being needed to at least comprehend 2 complete rules! Making it extremely challenging to completely hatch the soul-bound beast egg in the process!'

...

Huff~

"No wonder I didn't notice the mayor's pet that time. He probably was lacking the basic requirements to hatch his soul-bound beast egg.'

Momentarily pausing, still arranging his thoughts as he instinctively gazed toward the unknown depths of the passage. Leo again continued.

"Followed by the Soul Formation realm. Other than the drastic increase in soul, mental, and physical prowess after advancement, they would also form their unique palaces based on the three complete rules they comprehended...'

As for the usage of the unique palace, the book didn't explain it further... Only allowing him to understand that the Soul Formation realm being could use their unique palaces and complete domain at the same time!

Creating dreadful effects that he would only learn if he stepped into that realm!
