Chapter 817 Forest Of Secrets
Chapter 817 Forest Of Secrets
-----
[Congratulations, you have developed a Tier 1: Ethereal Domain]
[The Domain's Dimensional Membrane is currently weak, and perceptive to attacks.]
[Please feed the Domain with Essence and Materials to make it stronger.]
[You have developed a [Domain Core: Heart of the Forest], the Domain Core will shape how your Domain looks.]
[The Heart of the Forest is shaping the [Theme] of your Domain into: Forest of Secrets]
[You have connected with your Domain correctly; your Domain has become an extension of your Soul.]
[You acquired the Domain Abilities: [Expanded Senses] [Domain Manipulation] [Nature's Gift] [Fountain of Life] [Domain Quest Table]!]
With a Domain came Domain Abilities, something I didn't expect, and there were a whopping five of them with different effects within the Domain area.
Above all, it seemed that this Domain was even recognized by the Voice of the World, amazingly enough.
However, the most mesmerizing thing was the view.
It felt still rather semi-transparent, as if the Domain was in a state similar to a phantom, not yet completely realized.
But I could see between the veil of Spiritual Essence a beautiful yet mysterious forest, slightly darker than the Forest of Beginnings, with little shade, and lots of strange plants I've never seen before.
"Forest of Secrets…" I said with a surprised voice.
"Mom, what's going on?" Elena was confused.
"E-Everything is so beautiful, it feels like we're both at home, and also inside a forest?" Monica wondered.
"This is just the starting point of a Domain!" Said the Great Spirit. "It is called Ethereal Domain for a reason! It has yet to fully Materialize. Tier 1 is Ethereal Domain, once you reach Tier 2, it will become Phantom Domain, and at Tier 3, it will finally fully materialize and become Realized Domain."
"And each Rank Up increases these Themes?" I wondered.
"Indeed! Like inside a dungeon, Themes for a Domain are important." Said the Great Spirit. "It helps the Domain take shape into all kinds of different forms, and it will also dictate the resources it produces, and the living beings it will develop within."
"Wait, living beings?!" I asked.
"Yes, didn't you know?" She giggled. "You will be creating new life here, plants and mushrooms for now though. Eventually, big trees, larger plants, even small little forest animals, and then, later on, even Spiritual Beasts as guardians, and even Monsters."
"That's… amazing." I was shocked. "It is truly like back in the Forest of Beginnings, yet much different at the same time. It feels more personal this time, the voice of the world did said it had become an extension of my soul after all."
"Yep." The Great Spirit nodded. "Now, what Abilities did you get?"
"Err…" I said, looking at them again.
I had arranged of all the information inside of my mind, so I materialized it out of my finger through Spiritual Energy and Mana, generating something similar to a small system window, but made of gold colored essence.

"These." I showed her.
"I see, I see, pretty basic stuff- Wait what? What's those two last ones?!" The Great Spirit was surprised yet again.
"Fountain of Life and Domain Quest Table?" I asked her. "They're not normal Abilities?"
"Like hell they are! Those sound unique to you! Let's check them! Where are these things?" She wondered.
"Over there."
I could naturally know where everything was within my Domain by merely willing it… That means if I wanted, I could easily sense all the living beings in that, including the people.
We walked to my backyard, where there was something semi-transparent, a huge fountain, it was Ethereal and not fully physical right now, but the things it produced could be made physical by spending Mana and Spirit Essence.
"It's really a fountain… Can you take some of the liquid from it?" She asked.
"Okay.." I quickly filled a small bottle with it. "Hmm, smells sweet."
I drank a bit of it, suddenly feeling myself more than just refreshed, the exhaustion in my body faded away instantly, and I felt much more at ease, like at peace…
"Ooh, this is some sort of potion I think." I said.
"No, Elayne, that's not just a potion…" The Great Spirit sighed. "It might be weak at the starting point so its effects are like a very nice potion, but that's… a Fountain of Eternal Life."
"EH?!"
"It is a special type of Fountain that only Gods of Life and Nature produce in their Domains! It is a special liquid that, at later stages will be able to increase your lifespan or that of anybody that drinks it!" She said. "But above all, it also works as an excellent Elixir for the Soul more than the body, it will allow your soul to recover quickly from exhaustion, wounds, and also grow larger over time."
"No way… The Fountain of Eternal Life's a thing?!" I wondered.
"I don't know if it's a thing in this world, but maybe you just made it real…." The Great Spirit sighed. "Now, where to the next one?"
"Over there…" I said.
We walked back to the front yard, where there was a small wooden wall covered on moss, vines, and flowers.
At the center of it there were three papers attached to it. Like the fountain, it looked rather ethereal…
"Let's see…"
I grabbed one of the papers and realized it into a physical item using Mana and Spirit Energy, and then heard a voice.
[You have taken the [Tier 1 Domain Quest: Plant Trees]!]
[To take care of your new Domain, it is necessary to expand it, especially for a Domain of the Nature and Life-type. For that very reason, you must plant new trees to continue strengthening it.]
[The Trees you plant must be of this world and cannot be created using any type of Magic.]
[Quest Condition]: [Plant 30 Trees]
[Quest Duration]: [30 Days]
[Quest Rewards]: [Strengthening of your Domain by +10%] [Spirit Crystal Coins] x100 [Domain Shop Open]
"What the hell is this?! It's like a game? No way!"
The Great Spirit was dumbfounded… as usual.
