"CHAMALEON VEINS, ARE HIDDEN OR RARE DIVINE VEINS."
The systems answer to her now forgotten question, was answered. She was absorbed in her thoughts, and she had forgotten she had asked a question from the system. In this moment the system had taken a tiny human form and was hovering in front of her.
"You have a body?" She looked like one of those fairies she read about growing up, even
though she was not sparkly, but she was still surrounded by a white glowing hue. Renata tried to poke her, to see if she was corporal or just shadow. Indeed, the body was not solid.
"Oh, so it is not a real body." How disappointing, anyway she had to go back to the real world, she was tired now and her body was still in pain. If it was not for the pain, she would not have thought any of this was real, even though she has not lived in this world for the full 19 years, but she did retain all the memories and the emotions that came with them. To be ridiculed everyday by your own family never mind outsiders, what hurt the most was her family, but she cannot dwell on that anymore.
She had to take control of her own life and sort things out herself, as for the first mission that was mentioned by the system, she did not think she could undertake it. She could make a guess on who she should be saving them from, the catalyst in her past life was marriage with Killian.
She got up from her sitting position because she felt a bit better now, the feeling of having spiritual energy flowing through her veins, she felt good at that moment. She looked around the void, she could sense where the exist would be, as she was about to leave the system spoke once again.
"HOST, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE YOUR STATS BEFORE YOU LEAVE? IF YOU WERE IN BETTER
CONDITION, I WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED TRYING TO ENTER THE COMMUNAL SPACE AS WELL."
It was not feasible for her to enter the communal space as of yet, she had been informed by Divya that the moment she entered the communal space, she would be issued with her first five missions in order to go from Newbie Rank to Novice
Rank; Newbie Rank was based on the Top 1500 – 3000+, while Novice Rank was based on the Top 1000 – 1499.
To advance from Newbie rank, a person had to undertake seemingly five easy missions between, that were yellow ranked with a low, mid, high-grade
difficulty, this was the same principle for Novice Rank, but they had to complete ten missions before they could enter the Top 201 – 999 rank which was
referred to as the Common People. The reason why it was not feasible for her to enter the communal space was because she was not yet certain about what just happened and needed to adjust after all if you fail a mission even if you had completed 4 out 5. The individual will have to start again, the waiting period was two weeks for new missions to be completed, people failed a lot in this stage since they were in a hurry to finish before the deadline, which was one week for each mission, but the trick was not to accept all the missions in succession. This meant people were stuck in this stage due to haste, while this was also true for the Novice rank, but their penalty was different as it was a
decrease in ranking, the decrease was dependent on the mission failed; as in what number it was for example 1st or 5th mission, the grade level and the items that could be found in that mission.
Even though she only had a month before the wedding she was still being cautious about everything, she had not realised how scary the first step would be but truthfully, how long can she hide. Therefore she decided to give herself a day
to mentally prepare herself, she knew the cultivation world can be unkind to people and her being a woman who will go in with no backing, since most people who enter there are affiliated with some of the sects or even come from a branch of one of the top 100 families, they were hardly ordinary but ordinary people also existed in the VR world.
The VR world had function where it displayed their persons' family ranking in colour but not the specific number of the rank since most people there came from the branch family of those top families, they participated in the VR community to get into sects and get their footing, in hopes to be recognised by the main branch. If they are recognised or do extremely well, either the main branch
recommends them to an academy once they do well in the sect they had chosen or they enter through competitions held between sects. This usually happens in the later stage and is dependent on that persons, individual ranking in VR
community, a bonus if their teams do well in rankings as well.
To be recognised by a sect a person must enter the top 201 – 999 but this did not grantee that the sect would recruit them, they might secretly scout them and only approach them once they reach top 151 – 200 which is referred to as knight level, even than they will be an outer disciple. There was a lot to be
considered and she had to try to finish 15 missions within the span of one month. She needed to think fast because time was not on her side.
After a long time of deliberation with herself, she told the system she will not be entering the space today, she will have to wait a day before heading in, but it could show her, her stats which she did not know about. It had a gamey feel about it, she hardly played video games growing up so she was not certain how this will turn out for her, but she had not choice but to strengthen herself, she could not rely on anyone to do it for her. It was a one woman show.
"PLUS ME." The system tried say it in a cutesy way but the was still that mechanical voice even though it was feminine, it lacked the humanistic character in it. Renata could not but cringe at her system. "Just show me the stats, so I can leave."
"ALRIGHT."

Interesting, Renata thought so these were her stats, it seemed as if she had options to hide or camouflage the chameleon veins. She wondered why but for her safety she probably should hide them in the real world and camouflage them in the VR world. Too much change might just startle the snake so it was best to hide her ability as time goes on, well until she finds some stability outside her
family, she will not have to hide that she can cultivate, if it can truly be hidden after all people with higher levels of cultivation might be able to guess.
"AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FIGHT IN THE REAL WORLD NO ONE CAN GUESS YOU CAN CULTIVATE AND IN THE VR WORLD NO MATTER HOW HIGH THEIR CULTIVATION IS THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TELL THAT YOUR HIDDEN VEINS ARE NOT ORDINARY."
That answer seemed to settle some of Renata's doubts, anyway once she finds out more about
these veins its best if they stay camouflaged or hidden. The other stats will change once she has entered the VR world and partook in the missions, what she really found interesting in the stats was her constitution. She wondered what it meant and asked the system to explain to her.
"IN THIS WORLD SOME PEOPLE HAVE CONSTITUTIONS, FOR EXAMPLE YOUR UNCLE BUT HIS IS MORTAL LEVEL, HIGH-GRADE MEANING HE HAS A CHANCE TO ADVANCE IT TO IMMORTAL LEVEL BUT IT IS HARD TO ADVANCE A MORTAL LEVL CONSTITUTION. YOURS WILL NOT BE EASY EITHER, WITH MORTAL LEVEL IT'S THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT MAKES IT HARD TO UPGRADE, WHILE FOR IMMORTAL LEVEL AND UPWARDS IS DUE TO MATERIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. "
Based on what the system had just said, Renata could guess that it was due to the void space that she was able to advance her constitution. Come to think of it she wondered if she always had it and if so how come no one could tell she had such a constitution.
"YOU WERE BORN WITH THIS CONSTITUTION, IT'S DUE TO YOUR HIDDEN VEINS THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD TELL IT EXISTED THUS MAKINH YOUR CONSTITUTION RARE, I WOULD SUGGEST FOR YOU TO KEEP IT A SECRET."
That made sense if what the system is saying is true, anyway she was not about to expose her secrets even if it was not true after all her life depended on this, she would not make the mistake of revealing things lest she was sharing it with
an enemy. Nothing was certain in this world after all.
