《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

After pondering over it for a bit, Rean decided to continue with the formations. "The easy formations can be done by the sect disciples. I guess I'll work on the harder ones since there isn't anyone at my level at the moment." It was then that he had an idea. "Oh, right! I might as well work on the buildings for the Side Occupation Halls. With those, Roan and I can start teaching the disciples once again."
Rean then headed to where Malo was and asked him to give him a small group of disciples to go gather the building materials he needed. At the same time, he left to look for other materials as well. Rean and the disciples who worked with him spent four days building the Alchemy, Formation, and Blacksmith Halls.
However, that wasn't all. Agis was a Talisman Drawing Master. It's just that he wasn't at the Heaven-level like Rean was in formations and blacksmithing. Nonetheless, he was still at the Earth Peak-level. He could definitely teach other disciples how to use them. Rean still remembered how they used his Thoughts Transmission Talismans in the past before they separated. That being said, Rean also built a Talisman Hall according to Agis's specifications.
Seeing the buildings and the formations working, Rean couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. "Very good. These are the first working areas where I can truly show all of my skills. All the equipment and formations in the Formation Hall and Blacksmith Hall are made the way I wanted."
Rean then looked behind and saw how the buildings around the sect were being made one after another. 'Sure enough, cultivators are countless times faster in building things thanks to their control of Spiritual Energy and Element. If this was back on Earth, I presume only 10% of the things erected here would have been built by then.'

After that, Rean smiled as he looked at a certain small building at the very center of those halls. Not only that, the Mission Hall that the disciples were building was also close to it. That building didn't look as majestic as the other halls, but it could be said to be just as important.
From inside, Qia appeared as she looked through several documents in her hands. She also noticed Rean at that moment. "Everything is going according to plan. The groundwork for the Communication System Formations is ready. This time, we've already started with the latest version of the Router Formation, which can save and organize all the information without congestion."
The Communication System! The same thing that gave Rean and Roan many Destiny Points in the past has now begun to take form again. "By the way, is the team I asked ready?"
Qia nodded, saying, "Yes. I gathered the disciples that showed the most talent for formations. They're inside, studying the methods we've devised back in Sunkan." As Qia said that, she couldn't help but show a sad expression. However, she quickly shook her head, knowing there was nothing she could do about it.
Rean then patted her head, comforting her. "It's fine. I also miss my Master and my family. We just need to live our lives the best we can since they would want it that way."
Qia nodded as the two entered the building that controlled the communications of the sect. Soon after, Rean asked the disciples in there. "How is it? Can you guys at least understand the concept behind the formation?"
"Elder Rean!" All the disciples' attention was caught straight away.
One of the disciples, a girl called Duda, immediately came forward and said, "Qia taught us well about how the electrical signals work. However, this Router Formation is too hard."

Qia and Rean laughed in response before Rean began to talk. "It's fine, it's fine. I wasn't expecting you all to understand how it worked in just a few days. Even Qia and I took years of work to understand everything and reach this level. At the very least, you guys already know how to build the formation that sends and receives the information. That one is already much more advanced than the first versions I worked with in the past. They can check the code in front of the signal and tell whether it was supposed to be their message or not. If not, they won't show the message to the one taking care of it."
Qia smiled after that, continuing where Rean left off. "Simply put, you're already far ahead of what we could wish for. However, you still need to put in a lot of effort to understand some of the runes used in the Router Formation."
Qian then looked back at Rean and asked, "However, there's one thing I'm curious about. Are you going to use the cable transmission system to reach Wringan Continent as well?"
Rean immediately shook his head, saying, "No. Back then, we used it because we still didn't have a method of transmitting information through the air. However, as you've seen with the half-moon brooch, I finally found a way to do that." Well, that was also thanks to the Circuitry Formations Repository in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
A disciple called Nia then asked something else. "Wouldn't it be easier to use Thoughts Transmission Talismans instead?"
However, another girl quickly rebuked her. "Are you an idiot? Have you already forgotten what the practical use of the Communication System is? The fact that we can have instant communication with almost no expenditure of materials whatsoever. Each talisman, depending on the distance of transmission, would need very expensive materials. The Communication System has made this very cheap. Obviously, Elder Rean's Air Spiritual Signal would also have the same advantage."
Rean was happy to hear that. "Very good, Liza." It turns out that Liza had some talent for formations, so she also joined this team. Also, not surprisingly, most of the Formation Master disciples were women, thanks to how their sect was. "We will need to build a few amplification towers to reach really long distances, but that can be done later. First, let's use the normal cable formations to at least connect the entire sect and Freedom City."
It was then that Rean remembered. "Talking about Freedom City, I better go take a look at what the cultivators are doing there."

Project TheirWorld: Book Two - Tatterskin
**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys! I've gone and brought the chaos of my real life into the storyverse T-T. ----- Dassah Graydon was just another human woman looking for adventure in her life when she moved to the academic floating continent, the Enclave. But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate. This is a Project: TheirWorld story, and there is a prequel story, The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) but if I am doing my job, you won't need to have read that to enjoy this one. ____ The story will usually update once a week, sometime on Fridays JST. The updates on Royal Road L will be about 1 chapter behind my main WordPress site found here: Project: TheirWorld. This will change, as the WordPress site will have holiday releases and RRL will not. Thank you for reading, and the support! :) ____
