《Astral Land》Chapter 35 Return to the Real World
Advertisement
The moon shines brightly accompanied by the Morning Stars — the sound of owls and night crickets linking in the middle of the forest.
The particular room for the young admiral in the kingdom looked very well-groomed and maintained. Reno seemed to be lying on the bed.
The young man was pensive and thought to return to the real world because, in this land, Reno had spent almost three months.
When midnight arrived, Reno decided to get out of bed and then jumped out the window of the room then shot back towards the portal door near the waterfall.
In an instant, Reno returned to his house and found Sarah still sitting in the same place.
Reno then ignored Sarah and shot towards the bedroom. But before Reno pierced through the wall that restricted the bedroom to the courtyard of the house, Sarah then spoke.
"Reno, when you have entered the astral land and returned to the real world, the law of time that will apply in the astral land will be slower than the law of time in the real world."
"What do you mean? Isn't the time in the world slower than the time in the land of astral? You already explained it earlier, "Reno replied.
"Yeah right, but that's not what I meant"
"When you return to the real world after wandering from the astral land, the law of time becomes reversed, 1 second in the astral world is 10 hours in the real world," Sarah spoke again.
"Why is that?" Ren was curious.
"If you enter the astral land from the real world then the law of 1 second in the real world is equivalent to 10 hours in the astral land and vice versa if you return to the real world from the astral land, the law of time-reversed, 1 second in the astral land will be 10 hours in real life"
"The reason is that you now live in 2 dimensions, so the law of time for you to travel in 2 worlds will seem fair."
"Try to imagine if the law of time only applies on the real world, what will happen to your life in the astral land after you leave the astral land to return to the real world for an hour?"

"You will disappear from the astral land for 3.600 hours, equivalent to almost five months!"
"Therefore, every human who has ventured in the astral land and returned to the real world, the law of time will reverse."
Reno nodded at Sarah's explanation.
Reno then penetrated the wall and entered the room to find his physical body unchanged, still in the same position before Reno left the real world.
Reno then saw the clock installed in his room; the wall clock showed at 22:45.
When Reno left the real world, the time showed around 22:40. Three months wandering in the land of astral equivalent to 5 minutes in the real world made Reno surprised.
Reno returned to his physical body and then continued to sleep until the morning.
#The next day
Moving out of bed, Reno then rushed to cook water. This work is usually done by Reno every day before hurrying down to the field.
Because today is Sunday, Reno does not need to go to school but goes to help Father and Mother in the fields.
But before Reno stepped towards the room door, the tiger bag he had been using to carry some diamonds and precious stones had fallen in front of him.
Seeing the bag that he had been holding in the astral land is currently in front of him, he almost fainted.
"What! The tiger bag! Can this tiger bag be brought to the real world? "Reno was stunned.
Reno then remembered Sarah's message before that he indeed can bring some objects from the astral land into the dimensions of the real world, but not all objects in the astral area could enter into the real world.
Surprised to find all the objects he had put in the tiger bag were all there, Reno immediately peered at the tiger bag contents that he had been carrying in the land of the Astral.
The phenomenon made Reno shock because one of the most striking objects sprinkled with hundreds of thousands was the diamond, he got from the Bhayangkara knight competition.
Reno couldn't think of how much the price of one diamond in the real world, so he would no longer have a problem with money.

Reno then put the diamond safely behind the mattress and shot happily out of the room.
On the way to the kitchen, Reno then thought of going to town and then exchanging the diamonds he got in the land of astral with money.
#Fields
Wearing a white shirt and black shorts, Reno was seen with enthusiasm to help his parents.
Although tired, Reno remained happy with his work, because, in the eyes of Reno, parents were one of the gates of heaven, which at this time he would keep on guard.
"Dad, Mom, I want to get your permission to leave the village," Reno said to his parents.
"Oh, want to repurchase book?" Said his mother curious.
"Reno, haven't you bought a book a month ago?" Said father curious.
"No, no, I have other things in the city," Reno then replied.
Reno did not want to be open to his parents because after all the things he had experienced in the Astral land were strange.
If Reno is too open with his parents, then they might be accusing him of playing with shamanism.
After all, things that smelled like magic were still dominant, believed by the villagers.
In the eyes of the villagers, the practice of shamanism is a practice that tends to be negative.
Therefore, Reno tried to hide this from his parents.
"Okay, Reno, but be careful, don't forget to come back before nightfall because tomorrow you have to go back to school," said Mother.
Hearing the permission from his mother, Reno then nodded and dashed towards the bathroom, cleaned up, breakfast then went to the terminal to take a bus to the city.
The trip from the city will take around 2 hours.
On the way to the city, Reno's expression like a young man who was thinking, he was curious to try out his new abilities at school immediately.
He also asked himself, how much would be the cost of a single diamond?
How can he try his martial arts abilities?
Can he absorb management, business, accounting, and tax knowledge?
Because he plans to develop his own company to look for additional money in the future.
#DungBan City
After arriving in the city, Reno entered the luxury mall near the terminal.
In this luxury mall, there is a pretty excellent diamond shop. Only rich people can buy diamonds displayed in the shop window.
Reno entered the diamond shop then looked around.
The security guards who guarded the store glared, staring suspiciously of Reno's presence in the shop.
The young diamond shopkeepers were also surprised to see the young man in front of her.
Reno was dressed quite standard, wearing shorts and flip-flops.
Look around right and left like looking for something.
Even though it looked dingy, Reno's face was still handsome.
One of the shopkeepers then greeted the young man who entered the store "Good afternoon, may I know what you are looking for?"
"Hello, miss, I want to sell diamonds, can this shop buy my diamonds?" Reno replied with a smile.
The girl laughed and then spoke, "What is your name?"
"My name is Reno" Reno replied
"Can I see the diamond?"
"You can, here you go" Reno innocently took out a diamond from his pocket.
Seeing the diamond, the girl was suddenly shocked. Reno diamonds are genuine diamonds.
The diamond was touched and glared by the girl from all angles but was surprised; the girl found no signs of fake diamonds.
Feeling unsure, the girl then asked Reno to wait because he wanted to inform this to her boss.
"Young man, can you wait a minute? Can I bring this diamond in for me to try to check? "Said the girl.
Innocently Reno answered, "yes, please, please take your time" The girl then walked inside and disappeared from Reno with a diamond from the astral land.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.
