Chapter 62: 4.0 Prologue - In the System Space before the Fourth World
Hei Anjing, "Is there something wrong, Exe?" asked by his host.
[Host, these two stars were different from before. They were not dying like they used to be, but checking through it, it seems that your husband\'s souls are not yet born on these stars but because he is destined to be born in these worlds, the stars were no longer dying as if they were being poured by some power to adjust it accordingly to accommodate your husband\'s birth.]
"So the stars are currently not dying but my husband has not been born yet in those worlds? If so, look for other stars where my husband\'s soul has long been born." Said Hei Anjing to his system.
Executioner 13, the little system followed his host orders and entered the ring of galaxies to look for the following stars where that person\'s soul resides. While waiting for his little system to return, Hei Anjing busied himself reading a book that his little system prepared to entertain him. It took a few hours until Executioner returned with 7 stars, 3 being medium size while the rest were large at size.
[Host, I\'ve found 7 stars with the Lo… your husband\'s soul in it. But please be reminded that there are ranks among stars. The small stars from before only have the ranks of F to E. Host had completed two F rank and one E rank stars. Among these six stars, two are D rank, three C rank and one B rank. Does the host wish to see the world plots?]
Seeing the seven stars hovering around his moon shaped system. Hei Anjing saw that the stars vary in size and colors. Among the seven stars, three were only slightly bigger than the ones he had entered before which only had the size of a ping pong ball. Unlike the dimming white lights from the small stars before, these three stars are glowing with blue lights and have the size as large as a tennis ball. Another three stars with the size as large as a fist of a human adult, but has a brighter radiance than that of the two. It is glowing with the shade of green. While the last star that has the size of a small beach ball sparkles with the color of violet.
Hei Anjing spoke, "Tell me the world plots, Exe."

Please make your choice Host.]
Seeing the world plots Hei Anjing didn\'t show any reaction to seeing varying world settings. After all he is someone from a High tier world and a game like setting of World Journey is considered as a promotional trial in his own world. After experiencing three worlds with Modern and ordinary type settings, Anjing is delighted to see the world plots before him.
Hei Anjing spoke, "The first and second green stars seem to have similar game setting plots. What\'s the difference between the two?"
[Answering to Host. The first World is purely a Game World where your real soul will be used as a Game Character. Only when the host returns to reality that the task will be considered complete. While the second world is Sci-Fi World where virtual reality is considered as second world and the task revolved inside this virtual reality. ]
"I see. This Crime World. Is it still set in the Modern Era?" asked Hei Anjing.
[Yes, Host! It\'s an Modern World Setting but in a different view. Host had done the perspective for entertainment, business, and music society. This is a crime angled perspective. Does the Host wish to choose this blue star?]
Hei Anjing nodded his head after thinking for a moment, "Yes. Let\'s choose that Crime World Setting." Said Anjing before reaching out to that 3rd Blue Star only to be blocked by a huge moon who bumped his head with it. "Ow~"
[Host please don\'t forget you need to choose skill/s before entering the world. Shall I give Host the list of skills?]
With tears on the corner of that phoenix shaped sapphire orbs, Hei Anjing is holding a small bump on his forehead resulting from getting his head bash by his moon shaped system. Glaring Hei Anjing, "N-Next time just say it. Don\'t just bash me out of nowhere. I may have a high tolerance against pain, but that doesn\'t mean I like pain. Remember that I hate pain the second!" complained Hei Anjing towards his little system who just hit him in the head just now.
[S-Sorry Host. I will remember. Please choose two skills in the list.
Skill List:
Arts of Seduction
Retrocognition
Precognition
Psychometry
Martial Arts [Weapon]
Martial Arts [Body Arts]
Arts of Healing (Modern Medicine)
Host needed to choose two skills this time since the host didn\'t choose a skill in the last world. Reminding the host that in the next world the host is able to redeem 4 items from the system mall. ]
"Why is that Seduction skill still there? I thought Psychometry and Retrocognition are the same." asked Hei Anjing.
[Psychometry obtains historical memories or sensations concerning beings and objects they observe. With objects, they gain knowledge including the makers, users, and even those who have on passing used the object, and what has been done with it. With living beings or parts of the body, the user learns their general life-history, what they were thinking and feeling. Retrocognition can discern the past and past events using various means, usually entering a trance while seeing and hearing a noted past event, whether it be concerning themselves or of an unfamiliar lineage in a past occurrence. Occasionally spontaneous.]
Hei Anjing, "It\'s both under the list of Mental Skills, but don\'t these skills fall under the categories of supernatural?"
[Yes, Host but in this star there are few considered special people who can use special skill as such. Mind reading and telepathy are samples of it.]
"I choose Retrocognition and Precognition. That way I\'ll have the ability to see both the past and future."
[Host are you sure? Both are mental related skills. Once you fall into trance it might be a little harder to return to reality if something goes wrong. How about changing one to the Art of Healing? It\'s better to have a healing skill.]
"Exe, didn\'t you see my memories. If I remember it right my mother is a doctor, and my dad is a martial artist so my skill as a doctor and fighting are top notch. So I don\'t need those skills but to recommend to me the skills that leans to healing and fighting, is the next world dangerous?"
[Host the world you\'ll be entering is a world that is slightly above the last one. It has the same level as the Music World where Host got hurt twice. Please be reminded that if you die inside those stars without completing the task that you\'ll be executed.
E and F are low-tier worlds
D to B are mid- tier worlds.
A and S are high-tier worlds.]
"Don\'t worry. I know what you mean to say. I will be careful. Thank you. You are called Executioner right? Is that your name or just a tag?" asked Hei Anjing.
[It\'s a code name. I am under the category of Executioners. I\'m the thirteenth in rank so my code name is Executioner 0013.]
"But you are my system now calling you Exe doesn\'t sound good. Moreover your avatar shape is so like that thing. I will call you Yue which means Moon in Chinese. I will leave now to learn the skills. See yah!" said Anjing before entering the portal that appeared out of nowhere within the system space.
[Yue is Moon in Chinese. So my name means Moon…]
Decades later, Hei Anjing finally finished his training on Precognition and Retrocognition. He could now be considered as a master under those two skills. After exiting the portal connected to the training hall, Execution noticed that his host was wearing black gloves on his hands covering every part of his fingers and palm within.
[Host are you okay?]
Hei Anjing spoke, "I\'m fine, Yue. But unlike my teleportation skill these two skills are harder to turn on and off. As long as I touch something, every memory of that experience will flow within my head. I will feel fluffy in the head like it\'s empty making me feel uncomfortable. Begin transfer, please. I choose this Blue star." As he held the third blue star hovering around him in a half meter distance.
[Host, a remainder. According to the last star you\'ve entered you still have 4 redeeming tickets remaining adding up the 3 redeeming tickets for this new star. Host is able to redeem items from the system mall 7 times.]
"I remember that. Begin transfer, Yue."
[Host, please prepare for transfer in 10….9….5….2…1.
Transfer Complete!]
After he completely entered the world within the blue star. A familiar feeling of being sucked inside made him uncomfortable.
