"...What now? what should I do first?" Lucio asked the system.[[You currently can"t create anything useful for your territory so I suggest training your body and finishing quests till you can]]
"Speaking of quests... Its done resetting right?"
[[ Achievements ]]

[[ Push Ups: 0 / 100 ]]
"I"m done with the running already?" Now that the thinked about it, he ran from s.p.a.ce to the surface of the planet, that enough was more than 10km already.
[[Essence : 1000/350]] 250 became 350, it was increased by a hundred everytime he completes a training.
"Alright time to train!" He started doing sit ups.
one...

Now that he completed his training, he had nothing left to do.
"....that didn"t increase my essence capacity much" Lucio felt a bit disappointed with his progress, but it was better than nothing.
Rustle Rustle... A bush nearby made a rustling sound, It attracted his attention making him get close to it.
Suddenly, there was a strange creature that jumped out of the bush, it was a horned rabbit, those didn"t exist in earth so why was it here?
[[Horned Rabbit, Cla.s.s f monster]]
"Wait, this adorable creature is cla.s.sified as a monster?!" He approached it and tried to lift it but his hands went through it.
[[User, I repeat, You can"t interact with physical objects until you get a physical body]]
The horned rabbit ignored him, he tried to poke it again but failed due to his hands pa.s.sing through.
[[User, I repeat, You can"t-]] Before the system repeats it he interrupted it by saying "I know it, no need to repeat it I was just trying something out"
He wants to know if it can sense him or not, it looks like it can"t, he decided to have fun with his creation skill and confuse the horned rabbit by creating a stone out of nowhere.
"Create Stone!" His essence gathered around his hands and formed a stone on top of his hand, instead of it floating like it used to in the void, it fell right to the ground making a thud sound.
The rabbit heard it and got startled by it, it turned around and bowed its head to the ground pointing its horn towards the sound, prepared to combat whatever made that sound...
Finding nothing but a mere perfect cube rock, it relaxed and approached it, sniffing it then poking it with its horns.
[[User, you can try absorbing Horned Rabbit"s essence.]]
"That"s just horrible."
[[User, have you forgot that you just absorbed a t.i.tan?]]
"They"re different!" He wanted to get stronger but the thought of him killing the rabbit and absorbing its essence made him shiver.
[[They are different, one can be a threat to a G.o.d and its creation while a monster can only be a threat to mortals and other creations unless they get strong enough to the point they become a t.i.tan and could absorb essences.]]
"I see." Lucio thought that t.i.tan"s are also created by a phenomenon like how G.o.ds were created
He continued to observe the horned rabbit as it circles around the stone he created.
"Well then are there any creatures in my territory that I could kill without feeling bad?"
[[There is, There are currently corrupted monsters that roam around your territory.]]
"Where are they?"
[[The System hasn"t fully gained control of your territory and cannot determine the exact location of those creatures, but the system has successfully made a mini-map of your territory.]] The system explained as a small circular map appeared on the corner of his sight.
"...but what I"m trying to find are the creatures... what do I need this map for?"
[[...]] The system went silent the moment he mentioned that.
"Fine, I"ll find them myself." He said as he ran towards the sky and look around the mountain, he looked weird running in the air but he still couldn"t fly, It"s just a good thing that no one could see him, it was totally uncool.
"When will I be able to fly on my own without your help?" He asked the system.
[[When you increase your G.o.d rank you will unlock new abilities, or you can unlock them on your own by experimenting with your own essence.]]
"What"s my G.o.d rank?"
[[G.o.d Rank: Novice 700/ 1000]] turns out that completing his training quest only gives him 100 exp for each training.
"Alright time to get back at searching." He sighed then started running again while looking around.
...
.....
After looking for a while he realized something
"I"ve been searching for a while but I don"t even know what a corrupted creature looks like, am I actually stupid?"
"System, How would I know if they are corrupted?"
[[Corrupted Creatures are usually covered with dark essence.]] The system explained.
"Dark Essence?" The moment he spotted a darkish aura coming out from a tree in a distance.
"Is that a corrupted creature?"
[[Corrupted Elder Ent, Cla.s.s B Monster]] The system said.
It was a walking tree, its leaves were purple and was emitting a substance that made the other plants decay upon contact.
"It"s destroying the nature!" Lucio was about to attack it with his essence but then he remembered the power of it and decided not to.
"How can I fight it?" He asked the system
[[With the User"s current condition, you currently can"t fight it with your fist, I suggest hurling stones at it.]]
Lucio created a stone as the system said and was about to throw it towards the Ent but it pa.s.sed through his hands and falls to the ground.
"I couldn"t touch them, how am I supposed to throw those stones?!"
[[You can use your will to control your creation.]]
"Why didn"t you say that sooner?" He always thought that he couldn"t control his creations and can only create them.
"Alright!" He started gathering essence around his hands and tried it the second time, he created a bigger stone consuming more essence then pointed his index finger towards the Ent.
"Go!" He ordered the Stone he created, the stone was hurled by his will at a high speed hitting the Ent making a hole on its body.
The stone was shattered in the process of damaging the Ent but it still killed the Ent.
"Oh! I killed it!" He ran towards it and looked at its remains
"What do I do now?" Lucio asked the system
