Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Dusk appeared outside the window. Two arcs are seen in the horizon. Darkness lifted it's veil when Lee woke up. He yawned and stretched his limbs as Fenfang clinged to his bosom. He slowly crept out of the bed, without waking her up. Sleeping straight for 11 hours was indeed tiring.

Lee tiptoed to the table and sat on the chair. D greeted him with a loud morning shout.

[GOOD MORNING BOY! I was expecting some action, but it seems like you're a pacifist. I do have hopes though.]

'Why do you even care?! What can you do even if I had done some erotic things?'

[...I'll masturbate and ejaculate in your consciousness!]

'DON'T YOU DARE, MOTHERFUCKER!!!'

Lee nearly exploded in anger, but calmed down as D spoke again-

[I was messing with you. You know I can't do that.]

'Don't ever mention those words or do such actions.'

[....]

'By the way, tell me how to cultivate?! How does EsConv work?! I've got a lot of doubts.'

[The conversion rate of Essence to Qi/Mana is 1:2. That is, 1 Essence gets converted to 2 Qi or Mana. That's how EsConv works.

Since you can convert Essence to Qi freely, you don't have to cultivate. Instead, you can continuously break-through through realms. Every minor and major realm breakthrough will increase all your attributes by 1 point.

Ask your doubts.]

'So, if I completely break-through to the Body Strengthening realm, I get a total of 10 point raise in all attributes?!'

[Yup!]

'Sweet!! What about Mana mastery?!'

[Wizard is the most Mana using profession there is. Any progress in it will take a lot of focus and dedication. So let's put them in the back of your mind for now.]

'Ok. D, convert 500 Essence to Qi.'

A notification popped up as he said.

=====

=====

Lee frowned as he read the last line.

[I can feel your confusion. Let me clarify. The Dimension Sovereign is the highest cultivation realm in the dimension. Which means you cannot grow any further here. But if you cultivate further, you can be free yourselves from this dimension's bondage and visit other dimensions. You will have a chance to befriend other Dimension Sovereigns.]

'Lemme guess, that's how you ended up in the Origin dimension, wasn't it?!'

[You are brighter than I thought!]

'Spare the bullshit. Now how do I break-through?!'

[Just say what you need to do. I'll work it out.]

'Then let's see how far 1000 Qi will take us!'

=====

Reached '2nd Body Strengthening realm'.

Progress: 120/230.

=====

Attributes + 12 points each.

=====

Lee glanced at the Essence points left. His eyes nearly fell off their sockets. A complete 6475 Essence glistened in his account. His eyes sparkled with ecstasy.

'D, convert 5000 Essence to Qi!!'

His excitement was visible on his face. His sluggishness faded within a second.

=====

Qi: 10000

=====

'D, as far as you can!'

There were no notifications for 4 seconds. Lee was eagerly waiting for the notification to pop up. Just as he expected, a notification appeared.

=====

Reached '6th Qi Accumulation realm'.

Progress: 440/670.

=====

Attributes + 24 points each.

=====

*sigh*

A satisfactory expression was on Lee's face as he sighed. He had additionally instructed D to mask his cultivation.

It was about time Fenfang woke up. She greeted Lee with a sweet smile. They ate some bread loaves and shared a bottle of milk. Then they left for meeting Freya and her companions.

Freya was talking with Paulo downstairs. When Fenfang and Lee came to sight, she greeted them and Fenfang and Freya walked outside. Lee thanked Paulo for his hospitality.

"It's my pleasure, son. I was able to see that the world is always strange no matter how much time passes. You are always welcome here. When you come to the village next time, I'll be waiting to see your junior." (Paulo)

Lee could only smile awkwardly as he escaped from his sight. He quickly walked to where the ladies and their mounts were.

Upon seeing that Lee had no mount to ride, Fenfang offered to share her horse. But Lee politely declined as he used 'View' on the horse.

=====

Name: Dune Horse

Age: 13 years

Health: 41

Strength: 33

Agility: 49

Defense: 36

Endurance: 69

Sense: 49

Intelligence: 29

=====

"I can run faster than this horse. So I don't need to. I can easily keep up with your speed." (Lee)

"You're faster. But how long can you endure?!"

What Freya said felt like a challenge to him. He watched as Freya led the squad out of the village and towards the city. Lee turned around and saw Paulo and villagers standing behind him. They bid all of them goodbye and waved his hand as he walked out of the gate. Then he positioned himself firmly on the ground and took a running stance. After a second, a shockwave spread out as he bolted towards Freya's squad.

*whoosh*

All they saw was a sliver of lightning. Many gasped air in amazement. Paulo was stunned as his speed was incredible. A moment of awe consumed them.

Lee initially gave a very high speed start, but then slowed slightly. He brought out very little amount of lightning and channeled it through him. The pain was bearable. He watched his immunity increase to Medium grade. The pain became considerably less as the time went by.

He soon caught up with Freya and her squad. They were amazed by his steady breath even at this speed and duration. But what gave them goosebumps was faint lightning strikes running along his body. It was such an unbelievable sight!

Freya signalled that they were nearing the city limits and he retracted the lightning back to EsGen. They travelled for about 9 miles in nearly 45 minutes.
