Raynor looks curiously at the swords that Yuria is carrying.

[The swords that you are holding.. what are they made of?] asked Raynor.

[These? They are made out of Mithril. A substance that is harder than steel. It can fetch a good price if you sell it. It can cover up our expenses for a year meal and lodging.]

“A substance harder than steel.” This sentence causes Raynor to realize something. This is a different world. His usual knowledge from Earth can’t really be applied here. Plus, the enemies that he encounters few days ago seems stronger than normal humans.

[Is this type of metal common in this world? Are the humans in this world stronger than the humans back on Earth?]

Raynor ask Yuria for an answer to clear his confusion. Yuria heard what he asked and immediately know what he wanted to know. To let him understand better about the strength of this world, she begins to explain.

[Mithril is only one of the many types of metal that is harder than steel. But they are all rare metals, and can’t be mass-produced. Although Mithril is not the hardest metal in this world, but it is the best storage of magic energy among all other metals.

About how strong a person in this world is, it is categorized in different ranking. There are a total of 10 ranking ever recorded. Each Rankings are much stronger than their previous Ranking.

Rank G : Normal humans, civilians.

Rank F : Noobs, Stronger than normal humans, Soldiers, Ferocious animals.

Rank E : Elite Soldiers,

Rank D : Knights, War Generals,

Rank C : Can take on 10 Knights alone.

Rank B : Most powerful force used in wars.

Rank A : Powerful warriors equals to the leval of a Dragon. Can threatened a whole Kingdom.

Rank S : Level of a Hero. Beast that can threatened several Kingdoms.

Rank SS : Threat to the entire humanity. Demon King.

Rank SSS : Mythical Creatures, Beast from Legends, threat to the entire world.

The people that want to kill us back then is considered Rank B. Although every kingdom has at least one Rank A warrior, but they don’t normally use it in battles. Rank B warrior is like tanks, aircraft or battleships, that normally used in a war. Rank A warrior is like a Nuclear Bomb. It is an ultimate weapon that normally won’t be used unless it is a really desperate situation.

Those that reached Rank A, dosen’t matter whether if they are warrior, wizard, monster or rabbit, they will gain a skill to have control over a certain amount of Space surrounding them in a short amount of time. A person can control that Space to do anything, like using it to fly, or plunge into the depths of a volcano, an aquatic creature can use it to move on land. But it is mostly used for battles. Rank A can use attacks at the level of rank S if they managed to trap their opponent into their Space. But the Space that I controls has no offensive ability, it only allows me to heal more effectively and also me to revive a person that have died recently.

Rank S other than the heroes are very rare and mostly non-existance. No one knows how many there are. Most of them live in isolation.

Although there are many strong people out there, but the population of humanity mostly consists of Rank G though, normal civilians are more than ten times all the other ranks combined.]

Raynor pondered upon the new things that he learned about this world. No wonder the people that he met last time didn’t die immediately after they take on the full blast of his energy weapon. Such people are only rank B. And there are still many stronger beings than them. There are also weapons made of metals stronger than steel. If he wants to survive from any weapon like that in the future, he will need to research on all the materials in this world, and have an upgrade on his weaponry system..

After few hours of walking in the jungle, under the hot sun, they arrived at a large tree and decided to camp for the night there, because the sun is going down. It is dangerous to travel at night because it is not bright enough, and according to Yuria, wild and dangerous monsters become more active during the night.

After they begin to settle down, setting up their stuffs and started a fire, Yuria begin to prepare their meal. Suddenly the pile of bushes nearby rustle..

Something crawled out of the pile of bushes. Raynor couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the thing that crawled out of the bush, never in his entire life has he ever seen or dream of something like that.

It was a green colored jelly like substance as big as a car. It has bubbles all over its body, and it gave off an appearance like a lump of flesh. It also moves like it has a will of its own, and is clearly making its way towards them.

Raynor’s detector can only detect humanoid life forms and animals types. It wouldn’t be able to detect unknown life form even though it is near them. It will be harder to detect if those unidentified life forms didn’t emit any heat or electromagnetic waves. The only way to prevent ambush from enemies that he can’t detect is to collect every sample of unidentified life forms, process and register its data into his computer, then only his detector can detect any kind of recorded life forms in its detection radius.

While Raynor is thinking on what to do with the jelly life form, Yuria just noticed it and her face immediately went pale..

[EEK!]

Yuria screamed and hide behind Raynor and used him as a shield.
