Misty World: Start with SSS skill

"Level up? Do you have another way to level up?" when Selvih heard Hikaru's words she quickly asked him a question.

He nodded, without hiding it: "Yes, I and the other players use soul points to level up, however, our level is limited by our territory."

"The higher the rank of the territory, the higher our level. Of course, the way I level up is a bit different from the other players, but I still use soul points to level up in the end."

Selvih and Anno looked at each other, then at Hikaru. Then Selvih said: "It seems that you and the other players level up quite easily."

Hikaru shook his head and said, "It's not as easy as you think. Like I said, the level of me and the other players is limited by the level of our territory. Although it's easy to level up ourselves, leveling up the territory is a different matter."

"Not only do we need a lot of resources, and the ability to build a territory, but there are also many other conditions."

When Selvih heard this she frowned and said: "So… does each player have their own territory?"

"That's right." Hikaru replied, "Each player has his own territory. However, they can also usurp other people's territories or kill other players as that is also a necessary condition to promote our territory."

"Besides, if a player abandons their territory, they would become a free player. However, free players who don't have a territory cannot level up unless they occupy another territory."

Selvih frowned upon hearing that, as if she had realized something she quickly said: "Kiki, if everything is as you said, then it's almost impossible for other players to come and live in our Territory."

"Why?" Hikaru asked, confused.

Selvih explained: "From the information you said, I can understand that the fate of the players is tied to their territory, so losing their territory is similar to being unable to level up."

"So… Kiki, if you were a player would you be willing to give up your territory and go somewhere else, even if it was safer and more resourceful?"

Hikaru was startled upon hearing that. That's right, if he was a normal player, and he had a territory that was growing steadily, he definitely wouldn't give up his territory for someone else's territory even if that person was an NPC of the System.

If he wanted to go to someone else's territory he would have to lose his territory and become a free player.

And that was the problem.

Even if his territory had abundant resources, sufficient food, and even a safe place to live, how would he get other players to abandon their territory and come here?

At this moment, Hikaru felt as if he had reached a dead end. If this problem was not solved, another problem would arise, and then the difficulties would start piling up.

Selvih smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kiki."

Hikaru hugged Selvih even tighter when he heard that, he asked, "You've got a way to deal with this, don't you?"

Selvih heard that and smiled: "That's right."

Hearing Selvih's words, Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief, he felt as if all his problems could easily be solved by his women.

In fact, although he was a Lord, he was not a genius, or a main character with tremendous strength and wisdom like a God.

He was just an ordinary person.

That's right, before coming to this world, he was just an ordinary office worker. His life revolved around how to earn more money and having a happy life.

He had never been exposed to such things as politics, economics, management, or even assigning jobs to workers.

Returning to the present, Selvih tilted her head to rest on his chest and said: "Before I tell you how to solve that problem, I also have many questions to ask you, but I will tell you how the inhabitants of this world level up first."

"In this world, there are three types of people, the first type of people are the ordinary people, throughout their life they are  ordinary, and they are unable to use mana nor magic but this kind of people make up more than 90% of the population of this world."

"The second category of people are the people who can use mana. There are a few people who are born with the ability to use that energy and use magic. After that, they will become swordsmen, magicians or whatever class they fit into."

"Among the people in the second group, there are some people who have awakened the ability to use mana relatively late. This number is very small, accounting for less than 0.01% but they are not impossible to find."

"For some reason, they may not be able to awaken the ability to use mana from birth, but maybe later in their life they will awaken the ability to use mana or maybe not."

"Those who are born into this world, and reach the age of 10 are tested to see if they possess the ability to use mana."

"If they have the ability to use mana, they  will be sent to guilds, academies or organizations that specialize in training people who possess the ability to use mana."

"As for how to level up… hm… it's hard to explain it to you. But I can see that in my body there is a pool of mana. We continuously use mana in our body and absorb mana outside naturally to fill that pool."

"When absorbing mana into that pool, we will try to absorb as much as possible to expand its capacity. Just like that and when we reach a certain level, we level up."

"Besides, we also use a lot of medicinal herbs that have energy-boosting effects like Energy Potions to expand the body's mana reservoir capacity."

"When we reach levels like 9, 19, 29..etc. we will meet a wall that makes it difficult for us to reach higher levels. It is like a milestone, if we pass it, our  strength will be greatly increased, the mana capacity and the quality of the mana will also be increased."

"However, for many people, their limits are also those milestones. Someone who isn't talented, or uses a lot of potions, can't break the limit and reach a higher level."

"It depends on each person's talent. Normally, someone with a talent of SSR class can level up to level 80 just like me and If they want to reach a higher level, then they would have to rely on luck."

When Hikaru heard that, he immediately realized that the way people level up in this world was the same as in many of the novels he had read.

At this moment, Selvih asked: "Kiki, the way you make me stronger is not by leveling me up, right?"

Hikaru nodded, "That's right. For those I summon, I can use soul points to level them up like Tsuraguki, Saraya, Vuni…etc."

"However, for the inhabitants of this world like you, Anno, or the others, there is only one way for me to make you stronger and that is to evolve the level of your class, race, or talent just like I did to you, Selvih."

Hikaru felt that maybe the difference between the leveling method between the player and the natives was that he couldn't use soul points to level them up like Vuni Saraya and his other summoned monsters.

"Wait! You said you can help evolve another person's race?" Selvih asked in surprise, her face beaming with hope.

Anno, too, looked at him in surprise and anticipation.

Hikaru nodded: "Yes, I possess a skill that can evolve anything including the race, class or talent level, as long as you have enough soul points or meet the evolution requirements."

Selvih was taken aback, after a while she said fearfully: "Kiki, do you trust us?"

Hikaru nodded and said, "Of course, I know this skill is powerful. If this gets out, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

"Although I am not currently afraid of any players in this world, however, the universe is vast, and there are many horrible existences watching us. That's why I can't reveal this skill publicly."

When selvih and Anno heard Hikaru's words they were deeply moved because Hikaru trusted them enough to tell them a secret that could put his life in danger.

Anno said at this time: "Kiki, don't worry, even if we die, we will never talk about this to anyone else."

Selvih nodded: "That's right. Kiki, thank you for trusting us so much."

Hikaru noticed that the atmosphere was slowly turning 'pink', and so were Selvih and Anno's faces, as if they were starting to want to…

He said hastily, "Okay, we are talking about important things. Selvih, you said you have a way to solve my problem?"

"That's right." Selvih smiled confidently: "First of all, it's about the policing team, I think my secret army is well suited for that."

"Kiki, can you help me evolve them? It doesn't take much, just helping them evolve their class is enough. Although my army is not strong, their discipline is higher than that of the royal army. The special thing is that they are all loyal to me."

Hikaru nodded, "Okay."

He agreed because he possessed a huge amount of soul points, over 10 trillion soul points. With this number of soul points, it was very easy to evolve 2,000 people.

Hikaru said: "Even though I can evolve their class, their class isn't special anyway, even if it's evolved to a higher level, they won't be too strong."

That's right, even though the castes were clearly divided, even after evolving them they would still only be the weakest existences in that caste.

Like the monster cards that Hikaru used to use as the source of energy for the Hell Lotus to work.

Although he was able to evolve them from Tier N to SSR, in the end they were just the weakest of the other SSR monsters. Even after evolving them, they didn't have any other special abilities.

Selvih shook her head: "No need, it's enough for them to level up to a higher level and use more high-level magic."

Hikaru understood what Selvih was talking about. There were some spells that required a high level of mana to be used.

At this point, Hikaru asked, "What about Larinu and his Lizard group?"

Selvih smiled and said: "That is the second problem. Kiki, if you can't recruit players, why don't you recruit the natives of this world?"
