Roger Dream's big Sister came in "Roger are you asleep?" asked Stacy in Sleepy tone while hugging her Pillow.
"Big Sis. What are you doing here at this time?" asked Roger Dream.
"I came because I heard you talking to someone. Are you alright Roger? Who were you talking to?" asked Stacy.
"Yeah. I'm fine. I am...I am.... just training to speak like an Adult" said Roger Dream while getting flustered.
"Wow. My little brother is growing up fast now," said Stacy as she pets his head.
Seeing this little loli caring for him was a weird feeling for him, as he wasn't born with Siblings and mostly his parents were away for work. He mainly was taken care of by his Caretaker. So this feeling made him warm and happy. Roger Dream promised himself that he would take good care of his new family.
"Roger, Can I sleep here tonight?" asked Stacy.
Before Roger Dream can even reply, Stacy climbed up his bed and slept next to him. Seeing this Roger Dream can only shake his head helplessly.
"OK. You two can come out now" said Roger Dream.
Two little lolis again popped up on his shoulders, "You guys let's talk tomorrow morning about cultivation and stuff. OK." said Roger Dream.
Both cute loli nodded their heads and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Roger Dream then thought about happenings these two days and didn't know how his future will turn out, he felt both fear and excitement at the same time. After some time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
....
Morning
Roger Dream opened his tired slowly to see his Big Sister Stacy was staring at his face happily while humming and shaking her two little legs cutely.
Watching her Big Sister staring him with a smile he asked, "What happened, Big Sis? Why are you staring at me?"
"No. I am just watching how cute my little brother is," said Stacy while smiling.

"Stacy, Roger. Wake Up, Breakfast is ready" they heard their mom calling for them for breakfast.
"Coming," said both as they got up and Stacy went up first.
"Kanna. Mia. Do you guys need to eat?" asked Roger Dream.
"No. We don't need to," said Kanna from his Mental Space.
"But I can," said Mia cutely.
"OK. I bring some food afterward" said Roger Dream.
Roger Dream made his way to the hall. He saw his Father busy in Meditation and his Mother was busy preparing food in the kitchen. And Stacy was busy munching her food which looked like a chicken's leg.
Seeing her son, Roger Dream's Mother said, "Wait a minute Roger. I'm preparing you a special food."
She brought a thick broth of hot soup in a bowl and started to feed him on Her Lap.
"Mother. I can eat by myself," said Roger Dream while getting red.
"My! My! My little son has grown up. He doesn't want his Mother anymore" said his Mother while deliberately making a sad face.
"Teresa, Don't tease our son," said Roger Dream's father while smiling at their son's red face.
"OK. Roger finish the bowl without wasting" said his mother and kissed his cheeks.
"OK." nodded Roger Dream.
Roger Dream saw his bowl, the soup was still boiling hot with the meat of some kind of animal floating around the edges. Seeing his son watching the soup, "Roger that's the meat of a Grade 3 Spirit beast. It's expensive you know. So finish everything without waste." said his Father.
Seeing only her brother gets to eat the meat of Spirit beasts, Stacy pouted at her Father.
"Don't worry Stacy, here's your portion." said her Mother while bringing her another bowl of soup.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Roger Dream can feel the massive amount of Spirit Qi coursing through his veins. He felt refreshed and tiredness from yesterday was gone. After satisfying himself with the meal, he took a meat bun and a roasted chicken leg from the kitchen, and then he went outside to the garden.

In the garden, he found a good hiding spot under a tree with a bush covering its edges and sat there.
"You two can come out now," said Roger Dream as he gave them the food to eat.
After getting the meat bun and roasted chicken leg in their hands, Roger Dream saw them getting nervous about eating them.
"Why aren't you both eating them? Is it bad?" asked Roger Dream.
"No. It's not. It's just that we aren't supposed to eat any sort of food except for the Spirit Nectar. Even in the Upper Realm our Sister's would punish us for tasting Human foods." said Kanna and Mia.
"But aren't you guys assigned to me now? So what are you afraid of? Your Sister's won't even know." Roger Dream assured them.
Kanna and Mia took their first bite, and both of them exclaimed "Delicious." And started munching the food with joy.
After finishing the food, Roger Dream said "So let's continue where we left"
Both of them nodded while licking their fingers.
"So yesterday we explained the different types of cultivation. So which type are you going to choose?" asked Kanna.
"Isn't it obvious? The Yin-Yang Qi cultivation" said Roger Dream.
"Are you sure? Even though Yin-Yang is powerful, it is also difficult to learn, than others," said Kanna.
"I'm sure," said Roger Dream confidently.
"OK. But I need to explain to you something first," said Kanna seriously as nodded Roger Dream.
"Yin-Yang Qi is the balance of all life and a rule left by the heavens to be followed by all under it. As it is powerful and its requirement is also difficult. Even though you possess Spirit Jade Body and it could be considered a thousand-year genius regarding Spirit Qi cultivation, but it's not enough for Yin-Yang Qi cultivation" said Kanna.
"Wait, what is Spirit Jade Body," asked Roger Dream.
"It's a gift from the heavens. It is mostly passed to the generation of the bloodline. And the one who possesses the body would have flawless absorption of Spirit Qi and have faster progress in cultivation." explained Kanna.
"So. What do I need to do to cultivate Yin-Yang Qi?" asked Roger Dream.
"Your body needs to be tempered with Yin-Yang Qi slowly and upgrade your current Spirit Jade Body to Emperor Jade body. It is the least requirement for cultivating Yin-Yang Qi" explained Kanna.
"Normally a mortal cannot upgrade a body given by Heaven's, but you are different. With the control of the System we can upgrade your body within 14 years," said Kanna.
"What. 14 years. So that means I cannot cultivate until I'm 15." said Roger Dream in shock.
"Yes. Normally children of your generation would start cultivation at 7 years old. You would lag behind for 7 years. Are you OK with that?" asked Kanna.
After a thought, Roger Dream said with a smile "Yes. I'm okay with that. Didn't I already promise to unite you guys with your Sister's?
"But… But this a world where only Strength speaks. This is not your Earth. You'll only get bullied and might not even get to protect yourself until 15 years old." said Mia nervously.
"He. I never thought Kanna and Mia would care so much for me. I feel happy." said Roger Dream jokingly.
"Humph! Who would care for a brat like you?" said Kanna.
"And don't forget that we’ll need a hell lot of Spirit stones for refinement. Without Spirit Stones, only by refining Yin-Yang Qi from surroundings can take up to 50 years. Do you understand?" said Kanna.
"OK," said Roger Dream in thought.

I wrote this around the new year, 2020. It's about 40k words and the first in a planned series that follows Gar "Alany" Darron and his agency of detectives as they track missing persons in the city of Throne. I have the sequel planned but not written. Once this one is completely uploaded, I'll be uploading another, unrelated series that as of right now is roughly 160k words long, and somewhere in there, I'll write the sequel to Frame of Mind. I plan to go back and forth between the two series for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading.
