The morning sun bathed the courtyard in a warm golden glow.
After breakfast, Veer led Krishak to the training grounds behind their mansion. The courtyard was spacious, with stone pathways, wooden dummies, and several heavy training weights scattered around. It was clear that Veer used this place regularly to maintain his strength.
Luna toddled behind them, refusing to be left out. Ama followed as well, carrying her daughter in her arms while keeping a watchful eye on both her husband and son.
Veer turned toward Krishak and crouched down to meet his eyes.
"Krishak," he said, his tone unusually serious, "today I will explain the " cultivation system of our world."
Veer picked up a wooden stick and drew several circles on the ground.
"On Earth, there are three primary paths to power."
1. Hunters
Hunters focus on strengthening their bodies.
They temper their muscles, bones, organs, and senses until they gain extraordinary physical abilities.
Their greatest advantages are:
Immense strength
High endurance
Powerful defense
Superior close combat ability
2. Awakeners
Awakeners possess supernatural abilities such as:
Fire
Ice
Lightning
Wind
Gravity
Healing
Telekinesis
Their powers vary greatly depending on individual talent.
3. Summoners
Summoners form contracts with intelligent Beasts.
They can:
Borrow their partner's abilities
Temporarily fuse with them
Fight alongside them
Ama smiled proudly as Veer mentioned this path.
Veer drew nine larger circles.
"All three paths use the same ranking system."
1. F-Rank
The entry level.
A person begins to sense spiritual energy and gains strength beyond ordinary humans.
2. E-Rank
The body and abilities become noticeably stronger.
3. D-Rank
Capable of defeating low-level Beasts alone.
4. C-Rank
Respected fighters who can protect entire towns.
5. B-Rank
Powerful elites with influence across regions.
6. A-Rank
National-level experts.
7. S-Rank
Individuals capable of changing the outcome of wars.
8. SS-Rank
Legendary beings who are rarely seen.
9. SSS-Rank
The absolute peak known to humanity.
Veer placed the stick down.
"I am currently an A-Rank Hunter."
Ama smiled.
"And I am an A-Rank Summoner."
Krishak widened his eyes with genuine surprise.
Even by Earth's standards, his parents were exceptionally strong.
Krishak asked, "Father, is SSS-Rank truly the limit?"
Veer chuckled.
"No one knows. Some ancient records suggest that there may be realms beyond SSS-Rank, but if they exist, no one on Earth has reached them."
Krishak lowered his gaze, hiding the flicker in his eyes.
Of course there were realms beyond that.
Far beyond.
