Bringing his finger close to his mouth, Isaac felt slightly disgusted at what he was about to do.
Taking a deep breath, Isaac brought his thumb directly in front of him before biting it.
Forcing himself and ignoring his body signals, Isaac drew blood and directly bit his flesh off of his thumb.
Spitting out the flesh, Isaac drew the small array on the ground.
Drawing a circle as circularly as he could, Isaac continued squeezing more blood from his thumb.
Occasionally biting his thumb, Isaac drew an eye at the center of the array.
The final piece to activate the array, which was fed by his blood was to draw a blood drop, seeping from the eye.
However, this blood drop was almost as big as the eye itself.
Bracing himself, Isaac bit more of his thumb.
Spitting out the flesh, Isaac didn't dare look at it.
If he did, without a doubt, he'll throw up.
Regardless of how much he reinforced his mentality, he was still a sheltered, young, man.
Finishing drawing the array, Isaac sighed,
'Fuck...' Isaac clenched his stomach, wanting to throw-up from the putrid smell coming from his blood.
Not only that, but he also lost a lot of blood, so he felt extremely weak.
Turning his head to the array, he said, "Hidden."
The array, as if hearing his command, instantly hid itself form the world.
Another reason Isaac drew such an obviously noticeable array was because arrays could be hidden from the world.
The only thing that shown was the mana embrewing from the array.
Finally, he activated the array.
Deciding to take a small break, Isaac closed his eyes.
----
After about 30 minutes, Isaac opened his eyes again.
He didn't sleep, only resting for a bit, wanting his body to rest.
With the array already activating, Isaac saw the many motes, awaiting his absorption.
Slightly smirking, Isaac sat in the lotus position, taking deep breaths.
'How much quantifiable fire energy will I get today?' Isaac thought expectantly.
----
Standing up, Isaac took a deep breath, feeling extremely sore.
"System, show me my status." Isaac said exhaustedly.
[Name: Isaac Solden (Earth) Isaac ??? (???)
{Mana Power: 0}
{Total Power: 0}

{Quantifiable Fire Energy: 10351.31
Quantifiable Light Energy: 1.000001}
{Constitution: Purple Light Soldret Physique (Acquired)}]
Noticing the ginormous jump, Isaac's eyes dilated, indicating his shock outwardly.
"System, can you explain the Rank System?" Isaac inquired, curious about something.
[The ranks go from lowest to highest,
Rank-0~8(Mortal)
Rank-9~10(Demi-God)
Rank-11~14(God)
???(???)]
"Then system, how does a mere Rank-2 array increase the attraction of fire energy by ten times? Does that mean that everyone trains with arrays, after all, without them isn't it pointless?" Isaac asked, wondering how arrays are so beneficial, to the point that training without them a waste of time.
[It increased the attraction, in your case by ten times, however, that is only due to the fact that this is an enclosed space, specifically, by a Rank-2 array.] Indifferently, the voice answered his inquires.
"So, you're saying that this room is covered by a Rank-2 array, that stopped the flow of energies that should've came into this room?" Isaac inquired.
[Yes.]
Wondering if the system gave him a Rank-2 array for this very reason, Isaac tensed.
Why was his mistress cutting off his growth?
"How much would the array affect the rate outside?"
[A rate of 1.2 (20%).]
'So, the mana outside is that much more abundant?' Isaac sighed.
Without his system, he probably wouldn't have made any progress anytime soon.
If he chose to cultivate his light purple foundation, of course.
Once again stretching his limbs, Isaac found himself at the last and hardest step.
Utilizing the Energy Transformation Method.
Taking a deep breath, Isaac sat in the lotus position, sensing the thousands of bright, orange-tinged, fire energies wandering around.
Already having done this once, Isaac swiftly commanded them, forcing them into a ginormous, bright orange ball.
Sensing Isaac's intentions, a purple hand manifested itself Infront of the fire energies.
This purple hand, which Isaac realized was himself(?) or his physique easing the job.
Moving quickly, it oppressively overpowered the thousands of energies.
Around 15 minutes later, the domineering hand disappeared, allowing Isaac to sense 30 light particles.
Knowing the ratio wasn't 1:1, Isaac called, "System, show me my status."
[Name: Isaac Solden (Earth) Isaac ??? (???)
{Mana Power: 0}
{Total Power: 0}
{Quantifiable Fire Energy: 351.31
Quantifiable Light Energy: 11.0001}
{Constitution: Purple Light Soldret Physique (Acquired)}]
The ratio was about 3:1.
Meaning, 30 light particles, is in the system's eyes, 10 light energies.
With all being done, Isaac closed his eyes shut.
Exhausted, mostly due to the Energy Transformation Method.
----
Awaking, Isaac stretched before once again meditating.
This cycle continued for another arduous nine days.
Every two days, Isaac would awaken with food and water next to him.
"System, show me my status." Isaac asked, tiredly.
[Name: Isaac Solden (Earth) Isaac ??? (???)
{Mana Power: 0}
{Total Power: 0}
{Quantifiable Fire Energy: 10789.32
Quantifiable Light Energy: 91.0032}
{Constitution: Purple Light Soldret Physique (Acquired)}]
The last hurdle.
This was the last hurdle, until one purple light energy, at least.
Expectantly and excitedly, Isaac performed the Energy Transformation Method.
After finishing, Isaac saw the number he so desperately desired.
{Quantifiable Light Energy: 101.0034}
Although some of his excitement had been replaced with lethargy, Isaac performed the Energy Transformation Method one last time.
Accumulating all the light particles, the purple hand once again had its way with them.
Completely and utterly dominating them.
Afterwards, Isaac said quietly, "System, show me my status."
[Name: Isaac Solden (Earth) Isaac ??? (???)
{Mana Power: 0}
{Total Power: 0}
{Quantifiable Fire Energy: 351.31
Quantifiable Light Energy: 1.0029
Quantifiable Purple Light Energy: 1.00041}
{Constitution: Purple Light Soldret Physique (Acquired)}]
Slightly celebrating, Isaac once again inquired to the system.
"System, how much purple light energy do I need for my first mana ring?"
[For most, with Heavenly grade talent and affinity towards purple light, it'll take 100. However, due to your freakish affinity due to your physique, it'll be 10. Furthermore, with your talent it'll take a single point.] The indifferent voice, responded.
Instead of celebrating, Isaac asked another question.
"What are the talent grades and affinity grades?"
[Talent and Affinity grades both follow the same system.
Waste (No Talent or Affinity)
Trash (Minuscule Talent or Affinity)
Low (Low Talent or Affinity)
Average (Average Talent or Affinity)
Good (Good Talent or Affinity)
Great (Great Talent or Affinity)
Blessed (Blessed Talent or Affinity)
Divine (Divine Talent or Affinity)
Chaos (Chaos Talent or Affinity)
----
Waste-Low (Low-Rank Talent or Affinity)
Average-Good (Mid-Rank Talent or Affinity)
Great-Blessed (High-Rank Talent or Affinity)
Divine (Peak-Rank Talent or Affinity)
Chaos (Above the Peak-Rank Talent or Affinity)] The system told its owner of the known ratings.
