Thundersons had their first meeting since they entered Claustar. In one of the new houses, all of them sat in circle. All elders except Green were present. Green was still focused on overseeing the new houses.
The reason they gathered was none other than to talk about the current situation. Not one elder felt nervous or anxious oddly enough. As Val explained to them, the feeling of being safe was there. It was hard to know back then ,if Val had gone insane or was speaking the truth.
Val started to go straight to the main point and didn't waste one minute further as he said to them " Is there anyone who still feels, that iving in here is dangerous for our family"
Everyone looked at each other but not one could say, they felt dangerous living in the city. A city which was able to give this much of a secure feeling. Some even would think of this as illusion and hallucinations.
" Good. Now to our main objective. As you've seen, there are ranks among our clan. The leader is the cloud that everyone has seen and next in rank is me but that was entire because of the scroll"
Val looked at everyone and after making sure they understood him, he continued with
" Now then. I still don't know all the requirements for ranking up but we all have seen in these days ,that almost all monsters ranked up from citizen to member. The three from our family, that had ranked up as members are Green and the parents of the kid, the same kid that almost got denied at the entrance. I believe the difference is faith and truly thinking you belong with the clan"
Val phrased his thought out and explained what all this had meant. All of them understood clearly. That was to make everyone rise to a member as soon as possibl and with that, so ended their meeting.
In the sky, Raiz and Moon were talking as they encountered a problem. It started when the system fused with Claustar becoming one entity. After that System was no longer available for Moon or Raiz. Moon didn't mind much but Raiz who was using it to level up,sighted helplessly.
He wasn't depressed but intended to look for other ways to get stronger. In this vast world, there was bound to be one. While Raiz was in his thoughts, Moon was looking at a rising pillar from the ground.
The pillar looked exactly like the one that was outside but it was golden purple. It had an aura of majestic surrounding it lavishly. Moon who was a cloud of curiosity,approached the pillar and touched it. Moon dissapeared infront of everyone but appeared back before long.
Raiz also came close and touched. When he came to realize what it was, he jumped for joy. Who would have thought,all his worries would disappear just like that.
Val also came after seeing everyone gather around. Before he said anything, Moon told him to touch the pillar and he did without hesitation. Seeing his reaction Moon nodded.
" This was probably due to your scroll. No wonder your rank rose so high. From now on we all have a cultivation method and one that is this amazing."

Val didn't think he would be able to get anything from the scroll, especially after it was taken. His family had tried countless times to open it but no matter how they hammered it. The scroll didn't pudge and didn't even get one scrach from any force. Now they had a chance to see it.
It was a cultivation method called infinity. Infinity had, as its name suggested an infinite amount of potential depending on the user. The first realm called mortal was to build the body beyond limits.
The mortal realm which had 10 stage and beyond that was a new realm. Everyone would receive a certain an attribute in the next realm, depending on each individual. Everyone was happy ,as getting strong in this world was always important.
As everyone came to line up for the goldish-purple pillar, that was now called Infinity. It didn't take long for everyone to realize,only those whose rank was a member or above could receive the cultivation method.
It wouldn't have mattered much if it was before but now everyone wanted to rank up as fast as they could. When you received your cultivation method from infinity, you would be transported inside. There, you would raise your stage higher and higher,as you endured under stronger gravity.
Raiz was already a stage 7 thanks to his leveling up before. Nero was stage 3,which was the second highest. Moon,who everyone thought would be strongest ,only had stage one in the mortal realm.
Moon wasn't devastated by the result after all he was a cloud. What kind of a cloud had a body of a steel? Now that he had a chance to make his body stronger, of course Moon jumped on the chance.
It didn't take much time for everyone to be a member, since the motivation was there. As everyone cultivated their bodies. It proved quite difficult to move up on the stages, especially the higher stages.
Nero who was finally able to become stage four was happy and decided to hunt food for his hungry body. As he strolled around ,he became aware the development of his body. He was faster and stronger than before.
As he was now, he could have a great match against those orcs that were fighting with him before. Unlike those orcs who were normal like the ones who attacked humans. The ones he was fighting were high orcs. They were completely different in their agility, power, and senses.
The one who defeated those high orcs was Raiz and easily at that. Thinking in the past,Nero only now knew, how truly powerful Raiz was.
As he was looking around for food, his eyes noticed a high orc. As Nero was thinking that he was finally going to get revenge on the high orc, 15 more orcs appeared in his eyesight. He had to give up on his thoughts unwillingly.
As unwilling as he was, he decided to follow the orcs from behind. Who knew? maybe one of them would be left behind. He followed them from far, just enough for him to have eyes on one or two orcs. As orcs were done with their hunt for the day and headed back. Nero followed them,not to miss any opportunity.
As they say, patience is key to success and Nero was patiently waiting in silence. Nero followed them to their base and something shocking was in front of his eyes. There were at least 2 thousand orcs in here.
Nero couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes. He had never heard of this many orcs gather in his life. As orcs hunted in groups but that was at most twenty and anything more, they would start fighting among themself.
Nero decided to head back home and inform this calamity that he found out. From Nero's view, orcs weren't intelligent enough to hatch a plan but considering amount of them, something was wrong.
He sprinted fastest he could, arriving at the gates of his home. He went to look for Moon but he seemed to have gone inside the infinity pillar. Next, he looked for Raiz, who seemed to have gone to hone his actual fighting experience.
Nero was seriously troubled by this situation. What were they doing at this important moment? He could almost see a dark cloud forming above Claustar. As he was nervously thinking, he decided to look for Raiz. At least he could him by his scent.
" What are you looking around for?" Aurora came from behind as she looked at the odd wolf behaving even more oddly.
Nero looked a the bee, from what Raiz said she was trustable and was a great help. Nero didn't hesitate to immediately lay out all his problems. Better to have 2 heads than one.
As Aurora listened to Nero, she was suprised at this tenacious wolf, who didn't hesitate to stalk his prey for almost half a day and thanks to that they received a huge information. Even Aurora had never heard orcs of this size.
Obviously, it was nothing but bad news for the clan. As she thought about what she could do. She told Nero to wait here while she was going to scout the orcs from the sky.
Nero knew,he couldn't help scouting, especially when he couldn't get close enough. He decided to wait here,hoping Moon would come out as soon as possible.
Moon who finally endured enough gravity, leveled to the second stage. Having his body endure that much weight and having a cloud body was the most difficult time for Moon. He was happy to have finally go to stage two.
Moon decided to end his training for today and came out. The one who was waiting was Nero, who was pacing back and forth. Did he have to pee? Yep, a clouds body was the best.
