68 Exploiting the Conquest Mode (2/2)

They are hunting for other people too from what I could tell, but I am much more important to them, apparently from being a Millennium Soul. Not sure what that entailed exactly since the entry about it in the Cosmic Codex is not that in depth.

I also cannot ask the System since there are things that the System doesn't say. Like how do I access a fictional reality? The System does not response, meaning that it does not know. That makes no sense, actually, so I have to assume it does not allow to divulge that information.

Or maybe something else entirely.

I decide to leave it for another time before training my Spiritual Awareness. I get its proficiency up if I meditate and try to feel the spiritual energy around me. That energy is not uniformly distributed across the world from what I understand.

Some areas have much heavier and denser spiritual pressure. Just normal driving towards the airport has already made me passed through several spiritual dense places.

This highway has a lot of spiritual energy floating about, probably from all the people that get killed in the past. Their souls have gone to a better place, but they do leave something behind. Their presences and spiritual energy.

Anyway, I need be totally still with my mind cleared to meditate. It takes 10 or so minutes to actually get me going, and when I do, I could sense a lot of thing around me.

It is as if the air has become a lot heavier. Intoxicating really.

After an hour or so, I slowly open my eyes and see the world a lot more sharper. There is this strange aura coating everyone. It is very faint, but it is there. I check my status window and find that Spiritual Awareness has jumped to 0.16%.

Wow. That is easy. Let me do it again.

More than an hour passed by before I open my eyes again. I almost fell asleep due to how peaceful it is. I only snap out of it because Harry has parked the car.

Spiritual Awareness is now at 0.19%. Only 0.03% increase? That is like puny compare to how big it had increased the first time. Is it diminishing return?

Before I could ponder on the question, a new window appears in my mind, answering that question I had about accessing a fictional reality.

Apparently, touching a medium such as a book is enough to access a fictional reality. I do not need to even touch it myself. Harry did, as he is reading a book to pass the time.

In the window, it tells me what book Harry reading as well as the summary of the plot and world. That is not what interested me, however. What I am interested in is the button available at the bottom of the window.

[Conquest Available]

There is something new on the Conquest Window now, but sadly, it is greyed out with a message.

[Your rank (F) is not high enough to attempt this. At least a C-rank is required.] Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Well. That sucks, but at least I figure out how to access fictional reality now. Need to find more books in order to fill up my Conquest Window.

Resuming control over Harry is easy. Finding a library is much harder, especially when the car is stalling so much. I did not find a library, but I did find a comic store.

The nerd in me immediately flares up, and I pay zero attentions to teenagers and young adults looking at me. What? Comics are for everyone at every age.

I did not need to open the comics to read it in order to get an option in my Conquest Window. Also, a lot of comics does not give me an option to enter their fictional world.

Those that allow me are really high in rank. Wonder Woman and Superman comics for example. They are like S-rank. Unholy Shit! Oh, I notice that they share the same fictional reality since they take up a single slot.

Since comics are currently way out of my league, I decide to try cartoon and anime. I have to actually touch the television screen to get an option. While a lot slower than touching books, their rank is a lot lower than comics.

I go a little crazy for a while, trying to flip through all the channels just to touch the screen. People find me weird, but meh, like I give a shit about them.

And I only stop when I run out of slot in the Conquest Window. A total 999 fictional realities available for me to choose from. That is fucking awesome.

I return control back to Harry before sorting the list and see which one is of F-rank. Only a handful are, and I have never heard of any of them. Like never. Guess they are not mainstream, but still popular to kids, at least enough for the store to stock them on their selves.

System, what would happen if I die in a fictional world?

I ask just in case. While it is pretty awesome to explore a fictional world, I wouldn't want to die in there for any reason.

[You will die in the real world.]

Crap. But can I escape if I am about die?

The System did not answer, making me frown. I would die if I die in the fictional world? That means it is dangerous as fuck. Well, not more dangerous than in the real world with Spirit Beasts and powerful angels that can smite me.

That explains the ranking on the list. Higher rank means the chance of me getting killed for being my perverted self is probably pretty high. Yikes. But I like my perverted self. Like a lot. Booboobooboobs.

It shouldn't be that bad if I choose realities that is tame by comparison. Just a normal reality. Like how about one set in modern area without any weird superpower shit going on within its setting.

I select the easiest one I could find on the list, and a window appear in front of me. It is confirmation, but also information.

[You are about to begin a Conquest. The Conquest only ends at the story conclusion or when all of the major characters are dead. Achievements and bonuses are given based on your overall performance at the end. Derailing the plotlines is recommended and highly rewarded, as it might bring forth a better ending. Twist endings are the best. However, you are penalized for bad endings.]

The System informs me before listing of all the restrictions and conditions before asking me whether I wish to accept. I will not able to talk to the System until the Conquest is over.

It is one of the restrictions as someone has figured out in the past to cheat with the System. I did not know that you can cheat with the System. Damn.

Anyway, since I have 6 hours of free time, I will attempt this Conquest. It sounds pretty easy from the plot summary. Like how hard can it be, really?
