《Black Ice》Chapter 4

[Are we already done with school for today? wow that went by fast.] Heise thought as he walked outside to wait for his father.
"Heise come here for a bit" Mr Dom said.
Heise stopped as he turned around, looked at him and asked "what's the matter Teacher?"
"Well you see, There is no need for you to come to school anymore if your knowledge is already this good. I cant believe im saying this to a 2 year old, but we will be having High School level classes together from now on." Mr Dom said with a sigh. [I hope you dont know this stuff at least.] He thought.
Heise smiled as he said "Sure, but if its High School or higher level math i wont need to learn anything."
Mr dom rolled his eyes at that comment. [ He is only 2, how could he know about such advanced mathematics. He is probably just playing around again. Well at least This little monster wont be wasting his talents. I sure hope he has a high aptitude for cultiviation or his brains will go to waist.] He said to himself.
Heise waited for 10 minutes for his father. He arrived carrying a huge bird on his back. This bird is called a Hell Chicken and its one of the most common creatures around the village. Although Heise has seen a bunch of weird animals he hasn't yet seen something close to a monster. His father smiled and looked at him with a carrying gaze.
"Lets go back to the house, i've brought some meat with me today." He said.
Heise opened his mouth wide a really, happy grin could be seen. Ever since he came to this world meat has always tasted great here. For some reason he really enjoyed it even tho he didn't really like meat that much in his previous life.
They both disapeared in as his father carried him to their house. It was the same old house that heise was born. The wood had still the same texture and feeling as it did when it was cut, as if it would remain like this forever.
Leng Landed while leaving heise down and preparing a fire to cook the meat. Heise sat down next to the fire a pondering look could be seen on his cute face. His father looked at him and asked "Is there something bothering you?"
Heise pondered a bit more as he asked a question that has been bugging him for a while. "What is cultivation and heavenly energy?"
Leng laughed as he was expecting a question like that. Ever since his child was able to utter his first word he could speak and comunicate with him. He even was able to walk at only 2 months old wich should have been impossible since it takes many attempts for a child to be able to find its center of gravity.

"Well How do i explain this.." He said with a pondering gaze as he placed his hand on his chin.
"It all starts with the 81 gods, They are the reason why we are able to cultivate in the first place." Leng continued
"The ones in the books?" Heise interupted him.
Leng nodded and said "There are a total of 81 different species of intelligent life on our world. They are very different from each other and some have way lesser numbers than others thanks to war and low breeding rates. Such examples are ghouls,pheonixes,dragons,imps,cloud walkers,Golden crows,vampires and many more. On the other side there are a specific amount of creatures that have dominated the lands thanks to the amount of population, such as us humans,satyrs,merpeople,giants,demons,centaurs,dwarfs,cynocephaly,werewolves,elfs and angels. However from the pattern that you've noticed us humans are simply much weaker than the other creatures. For that reason we were given special body parts that we call divine body parts. For example my divine body part is my heart."
"what do those body parts do and what is mine? Is it the heart like fathers?" Heise said with intrest.
"Well you see every human has a different divine body part, but there are some lineages that everyone has the same divine body part but varry in power. For example the heart as a divine body part is special, since it can only be found in our Bing clan. We have the ability of controling ice. Think of it as making ice out of thin air or controiling ice. There are different ranks in our clan which im not gonna go in detail. Divine body parts can have different powers, depending on the person or even bloodline. Most of the people on the village have nature powers, but there are some with different powers thanks to a diviation on their bloodline. As for you Heise you are special." Leng said.
"in what way?" Asked Heise.
"Well go ahead and look at your reflection. All divine body parts are pitch black, but once someone focuses on them they can see the universe inside them." Leng said while bringing a mirror.
Heise Looked at the mirror and noticed something incredible. His eyes were completely black, no white could be seen, not even a difference anywere. He focused in his eyes as the universe itself could be seen inside. He gasped at the sight as he never expected his eyes to look like this.
Leng smiled at his sons reaction and said " You are the first person in our bing clan to have a different divine body part. Actually you are the only human ever known to have divine eyes. Even i dont know what ability you might have when you awaken."

"Awaken? What does that mean?" Heise said with a puzzled expression.
Leng sat down and sighed "well you see thanks to our body parts being to powerful for us to control when we are born they are sealed till the age of six were we have a ceremony of awakening. Once someone awakens they can start cultivating their Heavenly energy. On the other side other creatures have the advantage over us since they can start cultivation earlier than us."
"What does father mean by cultivating Heavenly Energy?" Asked Heise once more.
Leng Laughed as he shook his head in defeat [This child is too much in a hurry to learn] He thought.
"Well lets start with what cultivation is. Cultivasion is stacking heavenly energy layers on your body which increases ones longevity and strenght, the more layers there are the stronger one is. Heavenly energy is something that is everywhere around us, Its the very air of our planet." Leng said.
"So how is talent measured?" Said Heise.
"Well when one is born an innate amount of heavenly energy resides dormant in their body. If the amount of the heavenly energy is 10 layers than that person will have the minimum requirement for cultivation. We call this innate talent, The more the better for their cultivation since it signals the speed of heavenly energy absorption. If one has 1 heavenly energy at age 6 his is going to be a mortal for his whole life and the maximum amount of heavenly energy layers he can reach is 50. While a 10 layer has the ability to break through 100 and continue since once reaches 100 he has stepped in the path of true cultivation. A 15 layer has even greater talent since he can reach 100 much earlier which makes him faster at cultivation and so on and so forth." Leng said while letting out a deep breath.
"So basically for one to be able to cultivate he will need to have at least 10 layers at the day of awakening. What is the maximum amount a person can reach with heavenly energy?" asked Heise. If any other person were to see a 2 year old ask such profound questions at that age they would probably have already gone insane, however Leng wasn't fazed at all since he had already been with his son for 2 years now, he can understand him completely. Its like a bond they built.
"Hmmm this is kind of complicated. There are ranks to cultivation, they go like this. 1-100 layers is called spirit start, 101-200 layers spirit control, 201-400 layers spirit divine, 401-700 layers spirit smite, 701-900 layers supreme master, 901-1000 layers godly hand,1001-1100 layers titled godly hand. There are higher levels but im not sure of their tittles or layers, but they should be the strongest being alive in this plain. Even a tittled godly hand is able to kill 100 Godly hand is able to kill 50 godly hand level cultivator, godly hand cultivators can kill thousands of supreme master level cultivator in one hand. On the other hand from spirit control to supreme master the difference isn't really that huge since godly hand is extremely hard to reach, not even 1/100 geniuses are able to reach that level in their life." Leng said.
Heise pondered as the info he received was too much for him. [So baisically for one to cultivate he will need to stack heavenly energy on their body. One need to reach 100 layers to be able to step into the path of true cultivation... and talent is also a big key. Insn't this world even harsher from earth? From what father said war and fighting happens a lot outside. I should probably focus on training in the future. I sure hope my talent is good enough for cultivation or this will be a waste of a reincarnation.]
"Dad when is someone considered a genius?" Asked heise since he wansn't sure.
"Good question! Well you see a 10 layer is considered the normal of normals, but in reality that is hard by itself, most humans are born with lower than 10 layers. Unless someone is from a cultivation clan they have a way lower chance of having an amount of layer higher than 10. So a 10 layer is considered a basic cultivator in the cultivation world, a 20 layer is considered a rare talent, a 30 layer is called a legendery talent and a 35 layer is considered a genius. However that isn't the final level people have placed, there are some that have 40 layers and they are called chosen. They usually are the main descendants of clans." Leng said as he got up and once again spoke. "Well that's enough for today you should not worry about cultivation from such a young age. You still have 4 years to learn about it."
Heise nodded his head as he got up as well, as they both were entering the house turned around and noticed a small creature, it had wings and looked like a wisp. It suddendly reacted after being seen and disapeared in an instant.
[what was that? did i just see things? no i'm pretty sure i saw it.] he thought as he went inside.

8 158A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
