The conversation between the Kar people and the host Sloan continued. It was mainly the Kar people speaking in their own language that consisted of strange sounds and tones, with Sloan occasionally responding using similar tones. Arran did not understand what they were saying. Come to think of it, apart from the Aeth language, which was the universal commonly spoken language in the Ether, Arran did not understand any other form of spoken language in the upper realm. This was a blind spot in his knowledge and although it was convenient that he didn’t have to learn another language in order to communicate in the upper realm, Arran still felt it was important to understand other languages. Arran made a mental note to find some time to learn some of the most commonly spoken languages in the upper realm, just like how he was well versed in all the languages on earth. A short while later, the Kar people stopped speaking and Sloan finally addressed the room. “We finally have our first bid

There was silence in the hall as the others considered what action to take. Meanwhile, Arran was still reeling from the surprise he had just received. When Arran heard that the stake in this bid for the higher dimension disk was a whole solar system, Arran reeled in shock. He could believe it at all...“Do major forces in the universe always play like this? Using an entire solar system that is rich in rare and precious resources to bid for a single item...”“What is a high stakes game... this is definitely a high stakes game! And here I was thinking I was rich and that my wealth could compete with an entire civilization, even, not knowing that another party's wealth is enough to crush me with embarrassment.”Arran murmured to himself dismally. When he thought that all the wealth that his parents gave him might not even compare to a single solar system that was used as a bid for an auction, Arran said that he was no longer qualified to be called a rich second-generation heir. He shoul

World fusion... is a term that is very literal in its meaning. As it suggests, it simply means the fusion of multiple worlds together as one. But what exactly does this entail?Naturally, world fusion is not a simple task to carry out. Unlike terraforming worlds, which were simply adjusting the basic components and elements of a world either by adding more elements to the world in limited quantities to make it more suitable for habitation or exploitation, fusing worlds was in a whole other ballpark together. More than adjusting, world fusion included the blending and balancing of various elements present in each individual world, making it no different from the newly born world. Doing this was much more difficult than simply terraforming a world, and there were many factors that went into consideration when it came to world fusion. Chief of these considerations is the matter of producing a conducive atmosphere for habitation. World fusion is more than dumping a planet into another

As the current bid concluded, Sloan stepped forward, clapping his hand as he addressed the crowd. Clap Clap Clap!“Wow! That bidding was intense. I believe I can speak for everyone when I say that this auction is the best one we’ve ever held yet. The quality of items that have made an appearance in the auction is higher than in previous auctions. We can only hope that we get more of these as often as we can.”“Sadly, all good things have to end, eventually. As much as we would like more of these rare and precious items, they are very hard to come by. If not, they wouldn’t be rare or precious.”“We are almost at the end of the auction, and there are only a few items left to be displayed. On that note, let us proceed with the next item.”“This last item is a last-minute addition to the original list of items that would be auctioned off. It is a very special item, and the circumstances of its appearance in the auction today are very strange.”“To be honest with everybody, this item did

There are a lot of things people knew about natal weapons or thought they knew. From what the name implies, natal weapons are born with the individual and so, unlike other weapons that were created in a workshop, natal weapons have the ability to grow with their owners. This ability should not be taken very simply. It was more than just the weapon becoming stronger. Instead, as the weapon grows stronger, so too do the weapons wielded. In this case, it is not the wielder's strength that reflects on the natal weapon, but instead, the strength of the weapon is reflected back on the wielder.The implication of this is much more precious. It means that even if an individual does not have any talent for evolution and can not become stronger on their own, with a natal weapon, this will not be a problem at all. As long as one is born with a natal weapon, then it is guaranteed that they would be able to transcend and evolve into higher forms of life.On that note, the natal weapons of the Aet
