《The Arcadia System》The Nixy Practice
Advertisement
With that said, how exactly was he going to do what he planned for?
There wasn't exactly a menu telling him of the right path.
However, he knew exactly where to start from...the books.
Quickly, he ran to the tall bookshelves and picked a random book.
He was a bit tense.
Following the assumption of his location being in another world, there was a huge possibility of the world operating in a different language, right?
Luckily, as soon as he opened the book, he saw the familiar alphabets of the English language.
He read the first line he could see, "...Valentine's theory of Arcadia's timeline."
One look and he knew this was not what he was looking for.
He took another book, "...History of the empire."
He read another, "...The untold story of Archmage Kree."
After a while, he had gone through an entire bookshelf but he couldn't find what he was looking for.
The ones he saw were all too complicated for him. Sighing, he picked up the first book on the next bookshelf, "...the world administrator"
He smiled as he finally found something good after about an hour, "The world administrator, heh? That is probably what I'm looking for."
If his guess was right, then...
He began reading the book, "The administrator, the overseer of Arcadia. It is unknown when she first appeared. Was it in the unknown era or the ascension age? However, one thing is clear, her influence was immeasurable from the start...…."
He continued reading the book.
Well, he skimmed past most of the irrelevant parts but all in all, after he was done, he got a good idea of what the so-called administrator was.
Just like what he expected, the world administrator was the female voice he had heard a while.

She was an apathetic entity that supervised Arcadia. In fact, her voice proved that her gender could actually not be defined. But people just assumed she was female. Even he, himself, was not an exemption to this grand assumption
With her appearance in the world, came the practice of the Nixy. This was what Reve first experienced when he entered this world. This all-encompassing practice covered every part of Arcadia. It connected everyone, no matter who or what they are, to the world administrator.
In turn, the world administrator would show them silhouettes containing the physical representation of their strength. It would break it down, bit by bit, into something that would give its owner a clear idea of what to improve and what not to improve.
In no time, the Nixy practice became essential for everyone. Using it, they easily honed their power to be at its peak.
Of course, the statistics silhouettes, popularly called the nixy windows, weren't the only benefits of the practice of nixy. The rest were hidden and could only be discovered by a certain few.
Reve meowed as he absorbed the extensive information.
World administrator, Nixy, Arcadia, Nixy Windows. He was starting to wrap his head around all these concepts.
But first, he had to see it himself.
Going by what was written, to summon the nixy windows, one needed to simply say the word, "Status" or "Stats".
Reve pronounced the latter eloquently.
Name: Reve
Race: White Arcadian Cat
Level(exp): 1 (9/10)
Titles: #######, Deviant, First Kind
AP: 30
[Attributes]:
[Skills]:
The holographic item that appeared in front of him was quite explanatory. It was the nixy window.
After many examinations, he realized a lot of things, which he could now link to the words he heard from the world administrator.
Firstly, his race was changed. To be exact, it was simply 'fine-tuned'.

The world administrator had changed his physique and anatomy to be able to fit in with the rest of the world.
Reve took a glance at his limbs and found they looked quite wild despite still being the same. His body wasn't as furry as before.
He had to look at a mirror or something to discover more physical changes.
Reve mused over the name of his race, "Hmm, White Arcadian Cat. It sounds good. When I regain my emperor status and revive my harem, I will proclaim myself as the White Arcadian King. Meow."
As he dreamt of all the types of female cats he could acquire in this world, a nixy window popped up over the former one.
Race: White Arcadian Cats
-> A new [Neo-ranked] magical beast that was first sighted on the first stratum of the beast continent. It has the general traits of a cat race. Its level cap is at Level 50
Well, there were some things said in the nixy window that was quite confusing but Reve bet that he would understand them later on.
However,.... the level cap, which was also called level limits, was a bit unsettling.
He moved on the line under his race line on his main nixy window.
"Level...." pondered Reve.
It was a strange word. Yet, he could understand it a bit.

Levels(Exp):
-> Levels are the direct representation of a person's raw power. Each level corresponded to a visible difference in raw power. An average magical beast would be born at Level 10. An average human would be born at Level 1. An average demi-human would be born at Level 5.
-> Levels could be increased by increasing one's raw power. It can be by practicing, or through a special skill, or by simply eating. A common method is by putting oneself in danger, which would force the body to produce more power. This could also be misinterpreted with killing, which is also a good way of increasing raw power as the one unknowingly absorbs tiny amounts of energy from those they kill. Evidently, it is not as effective as the previous method.
-> Exp, short for experience, are the smaller units of raw power. If the level is one loaf of bread, then the experience is one slice of the loaf. On the nixy window, exp represents the amount of raw power one needs to accumulate before reaching the next level.
The denominator, the lower number, is the total number of raw power one needs to accumulate for the next level, while the numerator, the upper figure, is the total number of raw power one has accumulated.

The Order of Sekhmet
Meet Rowan who may or may not be really enthusiastic about telling you how his life is with the goddess of war. It is naturally far from being peaceful, but the blade-wielding, fourth-wall-breaking protagonist certainly wouldn't have it any other way. Egyptian deities? Check. Sword fights? Check. Demonic arts? Check. Burning passion? Check. After all, blood is a good moisturizer. Please note that I have flagged my content. There is and will be content that may trigger you, particularly if you've been through toxic relationships. While I do my best not to paint these moments in the best light, they exist and are crucial parts of my story. Things are kicked up a notch beginning with chapters named 'The Old World'. Everything before is (nearly) vanilla. Update schedule is every Thursday/Friday, varying times!
