[Ranks go as high as the world of cultivation you're in unless an anomaly appears. In the world of Kalpa, a high world, all things excluding cultivation follow the same ranking.] Luna said before she continued explaining, her voice weaving through the vibrant air like threads of silken mana.
[From weakest to strongest. There are
Basic
Earth grade
Heaven grade
King grade
Emperors grade
Supreme grade
Ultimate grade
Saint grade
Divine grade
Immortal grade]
"Okay so, I assume the stronger the rank, then the higher the rarity should be, understood. What else should I know about this place?" Akasha asked Luna as he was now sitting down crossed leg in the middle of the vibrant field, petals brushing his skin like whispered secrets, still basking the pure beauty of it all, colors shifting in hypnotic waves around him.
[Cultivation realms, before you can do much of anything you need real strength. And after being with you so far, I can tell you are ready for an adventure. So, step one is Strength, from weak to strongest the realms are
F
E
D
C
B
A
S
Epic
Legendary
Rebirth
Phantasmal
Transcendent
Saint
Void], Luna spoke as she tried not to miss anything, her words cascading like a river of crystalline knowledge. I mean who could blame her aside from being absurdly strong and beautiful with an aura that bent light itself, she too is ready for the first adventure of her life, her eyes gleaming with unspoken thrill.
"Interesting....and I'm assuming there is more after the Saint Lord rank, and I'm too weak to know right now or some bullshit?" Akasha asked after carefully taking in all this new information, his mind absorbing it like fertile soil drinking rain.
[Well, No. It's just the limit of this world and all high-level worlds. Unless there is some kind of anomaly around, if not then everything should be normal.], the assurance hanging heavy with cosmic finality.
'Anomaly, huh?' Akasha thought as he continued to listen carefully, the word echoing in his skull like a distant thunderclap.
[Lastly, just a basic rundown of the Kalpa. This world as you requested is the ultimate fantasy, from all kinds of races all the way to dungeons. As a high level, the world is beyond just being large. This world is countless times bigger than earth and filled with everything fantasy.], Luna's explanation painting visions of endless wonders in his imagination.
[This world on the surface has 5 huge continents but there are countless other dimensions or realms connected to Kalpa. The continents Northern, Eastern, Western, Southern, and Central are all relatively equal and in strength and resources.... well on the surface at least. Kalpa has seen a millennium of peace with no major wars, so all continents were able to thrive pretty evenly.] Luna continued before finally finishing her monologue, the details layering like a tapestry of infinite scope.
Although she spoke very quickly, her cadence a whirlwind of ethereal precision, intaking so much information at once made it feel like an eternity, each fact etching deep into his essence. Akasha yawned as she finished, the stretch pulling at his newly forged muscles.
"Finally, I almost fell asleep hearing all that bullshit, my dear Luna" Akasha said as he was beyond ready to speedrun some dungeons and smash some heads in, his blood surging with primal hunger.
[....] Luna didn't speak as she stared into those hypnotic eyes of his that swirled with galaxies untold, with a deadpan look that masked a flicker of amusement.
"Okay, tell me how I awaken? and where's my gacha?" He asked as he begin to stand up and stretch as his body uncoiled like an awakening beast, as was getting a bit bored from the constant info dumps. 'Gacha should be the real game changer.' He thought.
[Well, you need to enter a beginner's dungeon, although you can feel the energy in the air that's purely because you're the Dragon of Origin. And Ranks F-S are primarily focusing on boosting your physical stats while building a foundation for your abilities and skills. You can rank up through killing other beings or intaking cores, but this only until the Golden Core realm, at that realm, things would then depend on talent and comprehension. And you will receive 1 gacha per realm as you rank up.], Luna's guidance flowing steady and clear, laced with the weight of eons.
"1 gacha per realm? Then it better be the mostly godly gacha ever!" Akasha said as he was a bit pissed at having that restriction, frustration flaring hot in his chest. If only he knew that this gacha was connected to the very 'creation will' of the fabric of all realities, a thread woven from the loom of existence itself!
"And let's get started with this beginner dungeon already!", his voice booming with impatience.
Luna smiled looking at the eagerness in his face, her lips curving like a crescent moon. 'Hmph, I'll be sure to get you a mask sir, I will not have you living a life of debauchery while I'm around' she thought silently before speaking, the resolve steeling in her ancient heart.
[There is a one-time beginner dungeon adjusted to your current strength in your personal realm, you just need to feel the connection to your realm, and you will be transported there.]
-----
In an expanse of pure white that stretched boundless and pristine, humming with nascent potential,
Two people suddenly appeared. These people both broke mortals understanding of beauty, their presence a symphony that shattered mortal limits, but that was something for another time. This was Akasha's personal realm, currently it was empty aside from the towering gate in front of the two of them, its archway looming like a sentinel from forgotten myths.
The gate glowed ominously with dark and deadly energy, shadows writhing like living serpents, a stark contrast of the realm they were standing in, pure light clashing against abyssal hunger. After looking at his realm and then at the portal Akasha thought, 'Fuck it' as he shrugged his shoulders with defiant nonchalance and walked through the gate, the threshold swallowing him whole.
