Time passed.

It has been two days already.

Kiara could only train her mental power those days, since she reached her limit.

As for the black film, it stopped expanding after one day.

It enveloped the whole area now.

The garden, pond, wooden house, and everything meters away.

It looked like a dome when she thought about it.

Is she cultivating?

Kiara thought about it but wasn't sure.

There are countless systems of power, and cultivation of chi or any kind is one of the many.

This might be one of them, so she don't know if the essence is dangerous for her or not.

As for her power system, it should be mental power, and mana.

There are others she had dipped her fingers in, but she didn't exactly develop them.

One is that she didn't have the methods.

Second, there are power systems that don't comply with her mindset and thoughts.

Such an innocent is little girl already powerful enough to affect the surroundings?

She could only watch in awe.

She didn't dwell on it for longer though.

She stopped training her mental power and stood up.

She recollected everything what she did in the past two days.

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

In the first day, she reached the limit of her flesh.

She also scouted a lot of distance in the forest.

It would probably take a month to scout everything, but she's patient.

There's a lot of years to come.

She also gathered a lot of Prans, previously named as "fruit".

Although she already reached the limit of her flesh, Pran did help her manage mental power as a tonic.

The second day, she concentrated on scouting and training her mental power.

Just north of the house, she found a well filled with glowing water.

She later found out that it's just a well mixed glowing bacterias.

Farther north of the well, she also found another well.

This time it's pitch black, but she could see the black water with her empowered eyesight.

It's also a well mixed with bacterias, just that they're black.

...It was a bizarre day for her.

...

"That should be all."

Kiara muttered.

She stood outside the black film.

Right now, she's trying to derive the power source of the barrier.

She's attempting to resonate the power systems she had practiced before, see if there is any that matched this type of energy.

"..."

Well, there was none.

She could only stand there bitterly.

Well, I have not reached the age where my mana core awakened, so it's probably better to know other people.

Kiara thought.

The black haired girl is the only person she could communicate with, and she's not going to let that pass.

She needed to gather information about this place.

The future changed too much.

All she knew that she's supposed to awaken her mana core early by using the holy grounds' mana, but when she awakened, she was dumped into a random forest with next to none lifeforms.

"I really need someone to talk to..."

Kiara can't break the black film, so she could only wait until it disappears.

...

Time passed.

Two days and three nights came by.

All she did are scoutings, and mental power training.

She covered a small patch of land already, but didn't find anything besides trees.

She continued cultivating.

...

The sun is starting to come down by now.

Kiara stared at the receding black film.

It started in the middle of her training, forcing her to stop.

She's already seeing the pond, now the garden.

After a few seconds, she saw the house.

She looked at it, but saw no difference.

She glanced at the pond and garden, finding not even a single leaf turned.

It was like nothing happened, and it's all a dream.

"What kind of magic is this..."

Kiara was speechless.

Creeeee——k

While she was wondering what happened, she heard the sound of the door creaking.

She turned her head to look, and saw the black haired girl standing outside.

The black haired girl noticed her too, and stared back.

Kiara, "..."

Black haired girl, "..."

"Why aren't you gone yet?"

The black haired girl suddenly felt helpless.

She looked at Kiara with a wry smile.

"If I say that I'm just passing by, would you believe me?"

Kiara replied with an awkward smile.

"Goddamnit no."
