"So normally, the only time you'll be able to evolve your dimensional storage into an inner world is when you reach high rank," Raydon said after giving it some careful consideration.
He was under the impression that his inner world, which had apparently not changed other than receiving a new name, was not particularly impressive. If, on the other hand, this is something that can only be accomplished by achieving a high rank, then it should most definitely be more advantageous than it appears to be.
Also, according to Samuen, the fact that each one of them began developing their dimensional storage from the very moment they awakened as an item holder and prepared for the day that they would one day become high-rank and obtain the inner world was clear evidence of how much they cared about it.
"That's correct. One of the major factors contributing to the increase in power for high-ranks lies within their inner world. The more advanced and developed their inner world is, the greater their proportional increase in power," Samuen explained before posing a question.
"You should be able to see the elements you currently possess in your character panel, right?"
Raydon turned his attention to the character panel and verified that there were elements of fire, death, and ash present. He responded, "Yes."
"These are the elements you are currently utilizing, learned through items, body enchantments, and personal understanding. Their progress is likely to be relatively low at the moment. Nevertheless, you can make further progress and strengthen these elements by cultivating your inner world in a way that is aligned with them. This will directly increase the power of any skills you possess that are associated with those elements," Samuen clarified.
Raydon's excitement grew as he grasped the advantage at hand. "Wow, that's pretty good. Therefore, if I make it to the point where I have made 100% progress in a particular element, the power of my skills that are associated with that element will be increased by 100%. And if I get it up to 300%, it will be three times as strong?"
''You got it right. The cultivation of one's inner world is not a simple endeavor, as it calls for a significant investment of one's time, energy, and gold coins, in addition to other resources. Because of this, the moment item holders awaken, they immediately start working on developing their dimensional storage.
Naturally, just like you, when an item holder reaches high rank and their dimensional storage evolves to the inner world, during this process, dimensional storage loses all space developments and returns to its initial size. However, so long as they make the necessary preparations for this, at the very least, when the evolution process is finished, their inner world space and all the things contained within can be kept safe. So they don't lose all of their development or storage space,'' Samuen explained.
During the process of evolution, Raydon was unable to keep any of his space enhancement, and as a result, he was unable to keep any of the items that were stored within it.
Any other item holder who, over the course of the years, has invested a significant amount of time and effort into cultivating their dimensional storage would consider this a loss that cannot be tolerated.
"But, to your good fortune, the short amount of time that has passed since you awakened as an item holder means that your dimensional storage most likely hasn't undergone much development anyway. Don't worry, we will provide all kinds of assistance as a family to help you develop your inner world," Samuen reassured him with a laugh, trying to ease his concerns.
Raydon didn't pay much attention to his words because, after all, he wasn't the type of person to rely on other people for his own personal development. However, after losing most of his possessions, he was willing to make the most of any opportunity that presented itself, so he didn't object to any kind of free assistance that was offered to him.
'I'll have to find other ways to earn gold coins. Trusting this impoverished family doesn't seem like such a good idea,' Raydon thought, recognizing the need to seek alternative means.
His initial goal was to deplete his family's treasure room to the best of his abilities; however, with the appearance of the pricey inner world and the loss of his dimensional storage items, he realized that relying solely on his family's resources, which were already on the verge of collapse, would not fulfill his desires.
'I suppose I better start researching the market value of the item set I acquired from the zombie general inheritance, ' Raydon said, beginning to plan his next steps.
Although he had lost the written information about crafting the flying zombie item set due to the shrinkage of his dimensional storage, he still remembered the details and the crafting process since he had crafted the set once before. If he was successful in selling the entire set at a price that was satisfactory in the item market auction, then he would have a reliable source of income.
In addition, as he discovered from Samuen, he was able to turn his inner world into an additional source of gold for himself while he was simultaneously developing his inner world.
After going through the loss and experiencing some grief, Raydon decided to check his title panel. With the XP requirement for leveling up returning to normal, he had a feeling that the feature of his title had also changed. Additionally, noticing a decrease in his HP and MP while his spirit and stamina stats remained unchanged, he became suspicious.
"Huh?" he exclaimed in surprise.
As he suspected, the title panel, much like the character panel, had undergone a significant transformation, leaving him shocked.
[Title]: Master of All
All accumulated stats, regardless of their origin, undergo conversion into Origin Stats, unlocking additional sub-skills as each stat reaches specific thresholds.
''...''
"Are you serious?" Raydon's exclamation was filled with disbelief and frustration rather than joy.
