The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2: Awakening

In the last six years that Minos was unconscious, the butler Dillian has applied several special medicines to the body of his young master while trying to find outside help to awaken him.

However, there wasn't much success. Even Minos' absent mother, who visited him quite irregularly, also tried to help him as she could, but unfortunately, it seemed that something else was preventing him from waking up.

During this period, some changes occurred after the attack on General Albert Stuart. For example, the Red Valley region, one of the best places to cultivate within the Brown Kingdom, which should be passed on to the general's family, was then allocated to one of the largest noble families in this kingdom. The Silva family was a tremendous military force, second only to the royal family.

The Silva's pressured the king to change the mandate passed on those lands to the Stuart family since there was no such need since Albert Stuart was already dead and his only son had never made any contributions and was still struggling to survive.

In this way, the Silva's obtained the property of the Red Valley after months of talks.

While for Minos, he was 'graced' with the poor lands of the Black Plain, which despite the large area, was a place with the lowest spiritual density, the smallest population, and consequently, the worst economy in the entire kingdom.

And having a sovereign who had been unconscious for years, despite not making the situation worse, those who lived on the Black Plain could still feel a certain dislike for Minos. After all, they couldn't show discontent with the king's orders, leaving only the weakest link…

Anyway, now Minos Stuart was 15 years old and had already lost five years of cultivation, since cultivation started at ten years of age, the best time to start cultivating.

At 15, the most talented youths in this kingdom were already between levels 20 and 29, which was the Spiritual Beginner stage, the third stage of cultivation. In contrast, Minos was only in the first stage, Body Foundation, level 0, the level of an ordinary person who has never cultivated in his life!

However, this slight delay wasn't so bad. After all, he received large amounts of knowledge from a level 100 specialist! His talent, which was initially classified as Black, but after receiving all the understanding of a God, surpassed the Golden classification!

With that, he would only face a bottleneck in cultivation, which would be to reach level 100, having more than a 50% chance of achieving this level.

So, the only problem now was for Minos to wake up and gather the right amount of energy. Of course, there is a limit for each level and the body, so he couldn't just absorb the divine medicines of the Spatial Kingdom and become a God.

If he tried something like that, then his body would explode immediately! contemporary romance

But even so, with his current understanding, it would only be a matter of time.

...

And so, time passed, and then finally, the now young teenager's unconscious body began to show signs of awakening, when he finally opened his eyes and began to observe the place where he was.

This was his room, and it looked the same as he had left it on that fateful day.

There was a bookcase filled with books ranging from medicines, pills, geopolitics, and much other essential information that he learned when he was at the Spiritual Academy.

Other than that, it also had a big closet, a study place, and his bed, Minos although noble, he was a very simple person, so his room wasn't full of useless things.

At that moment, Minos began to think about everything that happened, from his father's death to the inheritance of the God Henricus Longus, when he thought with tears in his eyes.

"My father sacrificed himself after being ambushed... Unfortunately, I can't do anything now. I must focus on cultivation and start planning how to increase this planet's average level of this planet... My revenge will naturally happen when I reach the necessary level."

Minos seemed very calm and severe, in fact, even though he was unconscious for six years and still had to have the mentality of a 9-year-old child, but that wasn't the case. After inheriting a significant amount of information from the long life of a God, who reached just over 50 thousand years, Minos now had a personality quite mature for his present age.

"From the knowledge I inherited, there seem to be 11 stages in cultivation, subdivided into ten parts for each stage. It is Body Foundation, Transition, Spiritual Beginner, Spiritual Warrior, Spiritual General, Spiritual King, Spiritual Emperor, Spiritual Saint, Spiritual Sage, Spiritual Demigod, and God."

"As for vitality, it doubles at every stage from the post of Spiritual Beginner, reaching just over 50,000 years for a God."

"Not only does vitality increase considerably, the amount of energy in each stage increases in a factorial order, for example, someone at the apex of the 7th stage, level 69, but 7 times more energy than someone at the apex of the 6th stage, level 59, and a level 100, a God, has 11 times more energy than a level 99 demigod!!"

"In addition, someone could fly by becoming a Spiritual Emperor, live temporarily in the form of a soul, if your body is destroyed, and then someone could rebuild it or possess someone from the rank of Spiritual Saint. A person could travel through space from a Spiritual Sage and finally build spatial kingdoms at level 100."

"Tsh! And those older men from the Spiritual Academy were full of themselves because there were Spiritual Kings in the kingdom. They are ignorant..."

"As for my Physique, hahaha, I was fortunate. Although it has regressed from King-grade to Common-grade, it will now be much easier to attain the Divine-grade due to its mutagenic factor. And it looks like it also specializes in energy storage..."

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, I must store up to 5% more energy in each cultivation level, and it will continue to increase, and when my Physique reaches the Divine-grade when I will have up to 40% more energy than someone normally would have."

"This is great. Although it takes longer to move forward, I will be much stronger than those on the same level as me!"

At that moment, the door to Minos's room opened, and a middle-aged man entered the room. This was Dillian, the butler of the late General Stuart. He was 150 years old and was at level 45.

As soon as he saw the young man sitting on the bed, he immediately ran towards him, as if a miracle had happened. "Young master, did you just wake up? How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, grandpa Dillian. I just woke up. I feel as good as after a long night's sleep." Minos answered sincerely. After all, Dillian had accompanied his father for many decades, even before he was born, and during his life, Dillian was the second person that he could count on while his father was still alive.

"Good! Young master, after so long, I was afraid that you might never wake up." Said the butler with a severe face.

"Hmm, how long has it been since the attack on my father?"

"It was six years, young master. After the master passed away, you were brought here, and during those years, I was doing everything possible to try to help you wake up. Mrs. Maisie also tried very hard to find help."

"Did my mother do this? As if she cared, in my nine years, if I saw her five times, it was a lot. I thought she would enjoy the relief of not having to come and see me during this period." Minos said with a mocking face as he spoke of his absent mother.

The middle-aged man then countered. "Don't say that, young master. Mrs. Maisie has many responsibilities on her shoulders. The power behind her has high expectations for her."

"Tsh, this is just her excuse. But forget that, tell me about what happened in the last six years."

Then the butler and the young man started arguing for a few hours about the events that had occurred while he was unconscious.

"So, this is how it is… For now, we can only accept this situation since we have no way to retaliate. But it isn't all bad. The Black Plain can perhaps be improved."

When Minos said this, he immediately thought of visiting the Spatial Kingdom and finding out precisely what he can do. After all, it's one thing you heard something from someone. It's another thing to see it right in front of you.

He thought seriously. "I have to enter the Spatial Kingdom to get to know the situation there before I start dealing with the Black Plain. I must also start cultivating after getting some resources. I want to see exactly the effects of a talent that surpasses Golden."

As for entering the Spatial Kingdom, he had a strange ring on his index finger, on his right hand, such a ring was left with Minos by the soul fragment during the receipt of the inheritance.

The ring was invisible to anyone other than Minos, and it was also the means of entering and leaving the Spatial Kingdom regardless of where he was. Almost like a teleportation item.
