Chapter 17: Dimensional Zone Trip
{Name: Greg Hyde}
Rank: Awakened
Soul Stone: Black
Guardian Name: Unknown
Guardian's Power: 6 Elements
- Physical power: 4/10
- Body Speed: 5/10
- Stamina: 8/10
- Agility: 7/10
Soul Creatures: 2 (Information)
Energy Crystals: 50/100
Greg looked at the adats on the hologram screen and was a bit confused.
"My physical power and body speed are really low. I can use Alice's speed boost to back my lack of speed, however about the power... I don't know what to do."
Greg watched the other things too and saw that his energy crystal bar was half full.
"So the Middle-class energy crystal from the Awakened rank skeleton gave me 50. Nice! It won't take too long to reach the Manifester rank."
As he thought about this he saw that next to his Soul Creatures data there was an information icon.
He clicked on it and in an instant, his two Soul Creatures information appeared.
{Ice Python} (Damaged)
Rank: Awakened
Type: Twin daggers
Power: Blood freezing
Energy Crystals: 0/100
(Can only rank up once)
{Golden Skeleton}
Rank: Manifester
Type: Shield
Power: Damage reduction
Energy Crystals: 0/500
(Can only rank up once)
Watching the information, Greg's mouth opened wide in amazement.
The basic information like the Soul Creature's rank or type was known already, but the power and energy crystal data made him shocked.
"It seems my Ice Python daggers can freeze blood after cutting a body part. If it can level up to a higher rank, it could become a dangerous weapon. But unfortunately, it can rank up only once."
Greg watched the information about the dagger and noticed the damaged sign next to his dagger's name.
"Hmmm... Maybe after it consumes some energy crystal it can repair itself? Well, with time I will figure it out.", with a shrug, he looked at his shield's information.
Seeing the damage reduction data, now he knew why he could feel that before William's attack, his shield would be okay. It seemed that wasn't his instinct. No, it was the shield itself, which told him faintly, that everything will be okay.
"So my Soul Creatures can communicate with me, but just faintly. I wonder if Creatures above the Calamity rank can speak. That would be so good."
Greg looked at the pieces of information for a bit more, but in the end, he got bored, so he closed the screen and leaned onto the bed.
As time went by, Greg sat up and said with a sigh, "I'm bored. It would be so good if I could go and find a dimensional zone."
In an instant, as he said that, his watch started to talk suddenly.
"Scanning area... Area scanned. Three undiscovered dimensional zones are found in a proximity of 5 miles. Please choose your ideal dimensional zone!"
Greg looked surprised as three pieces of data appeared on his screen. He knew that if he wants to go into a zone, he needs to register his name into a team in the Soul Association.
However, things are different when there is an undiscovered dimensional zone. The one who finds one has two choices. Register the finding to the Association for rewards or clear it alone.
But if someone chooses the later one and dies in it, that is not the Association problem. It's a personal responsibility to go into a zone alone if there is no registering of it.
After coming back from his shock, Greg started to read the things on the screen.
{Zone 1: Awakened rank}
Routeway: Y/N
{Zone 2: Awakened rank}
Routeway: Y/N
{Zone 3: Manifester rank}
Routeway: Y/N
Greg watched the simple information before him and thought, "It seems it can show me ways to the zones. With this, finding dimensional zones will be much easier. Let's see... Which one should I choose?"
After a bit of thought, Greg chose the first one and clicked on the Yes.
Almost instantly, a map appeared before him showing where he should go with a blue line.
"It seems it's outside of the city and will take me about 30-40 minutes to get there. It's nothing at all, so let's go."
With a bounce, Greg jumped up from his bed and walked out of his house.

[Outside of Nexus City]
After a nice 37 minutes walk, Greg arrived before the dimensional zone. However, what surprised him was that he wasn't alone. There were three people before the zone talking. And what is more, he recognized one of them.
The middle one was the one who is currently on the third placement in the PGF. She was Emma Moore, a girl with glasses and blonde hair. She had sky blue eyes and her height was almost as big as Greg's just a little bit lower.
Seeing Emma and her friends, Greg wanted to turn around and go away, but before he could, Emma noticed him and with a smile, she started to wave at him.
"Hey, Greg! Over here!"
Without any choice, Greg walked toward them and with a smile, he asked, "You guys will go into that zone alone?"
Emma walked before him and with a beautiful smile, she said, "Yeah, we were about to go inside, but we talked about if we should find one more person, but luckily I saw you. So, what do you think? Wanna join us?"
Just as Greg wanted to say yes, Emma's one friend, who was an older guy, said with a contemptuous look, "Emma, why do you want him to come with us? As I heard, he has a black Soul Stone, so he is just a trash."
Emma looked behind her and with a stern look answered, "Sam, he is currently the first one on the PGF. He is above me, so I think he could be really useful to us."
Hearing this, Sam looked shocked and looked at Greg with a more serious expression. As he did, Emma's other friend stepped forward and put her hand out to Greg.
"Hi, my name is Mila. What Sam just said, please don't think about it. Sometimes he is overprotective and he doesn't like strangers."
"Ah, okay, it wasn't a problem by the way. I'm used to it.", said Greg as he smiled.
"Okay then! Now that we know each other let's get goin'!", said Emma happily, turned around, and started to walk toward the dimensional zone.
Seeing as Sam and Mila followed her, Greg sighed and started to walk with them too...
