"Lord Dericus, you are back! , get up from the table."
"Ah…" Johan woke up to his senses and looked at the Archangel Ricardo.
"Yes, now let's begin the topic."
"About what?"
Ricardo looked back and said, "I am only a guide, a guide for you to become what you truly are."
"There he goes; he may have lived and trained for 10,000 years to speak like this."
Johan opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let's get straight to the point. First of all, whatever thing I am going to fight, I need to get stronger first. With the current stats I have now, I couldn't even be compared to the butt of yours."
"You have to farm," Ricardo said shortly.
"Farm, then what? Feed the cattle? What does he think I am? I am not a farmer; fuck this rotting angel.
"So, we need land, fertilizer, water, and what?
"You are half correct, as expected of Lord Dericus. "
"You have an affinity towards the Matter Manipulation. Which means you got to do more work than other seed possessors; your Divine Rank Seed, like an S rank, speaking in terms of your world's language, is ultimately a black hole, but instead of absorbing all, it will digest."
"Ah, digest? I don't get it. Come to the point, old man, will you?" Johan, who was speaking formally all the time, changed his attitude once he landed on Nebulatrem; it's like his soul is the one that is expressed more. It let him be more himself, or maybe he was acting on Arthe to be more like 'Johan.'
"Ah, let me make you go through this step by step; you are not that intelligent in contrast to my expectation; you are entirely different. We need more land, as you said; it means we have to expand our domain, and it can be done only by waging war against other domains in these 7 universal seas. We are in Astralum Seas, one of the safe zones, which is normally assigned for new beginners like you. But the time limit is going to end soon; we are moving towards our first destination, the southern sea of the Gigantia Ocean."
"Okay! Let's go step by step, and the land you are talking about, so we are going to do "Domain expansion." So, what do we have to do to expand my domain? Just go and capture others?
"Not exactly, it's not wh—"
A bright light shone upon them, indicating that they had entered one of the Great Oceans of the Universe, the Gigantia Ocean.
...
Large planets all over the space. Emanating different colors of aura around them, some are red, some are blue, and some large geoid-shaped planets have green auras. Twinkling stars are all around the space. Johan thought, "What the hell? And this guy is talking about shit when heaven is here."
"You are different; the old master won't get flattened by these small sceneries that exist around us. Throughout our journey, you are going to witness more fabulous things that even this universe won't bring you, haha..."
"Ah again, this guy always gives half-assed spoilers." Johan sighed in his heart.
Various numbers of portals suddenly gushed near Nebulatrem; the shield-like sphere around the ship suddenly disappeared, giving the taste of cold and hot temperatures in incoming air, but for unknown reasons, Johan is able to breathe.
"Air? Why is there air in outer space?"
"It's the air that is leaking from the naturally occurring vortexes. You have to clear the Vortexes, or else monsters will come out and just eat away "your" domain regardless of your presence.
"Let's go and clear it then."
"Not with the damaged armor and the low-class Mesich sword, and your goche aura is very low; you can't even beat a goblin out there."
"A goblin? So it's not about tombs; it's about the matter of defeating monsters here. So let's wrap a summary here. I have to expand my domain and defeat monsters, and I need to rack my artillery with weapons. He didn't open his mouth for relics; I wonder what he has for that. This is not going a way that I expected it to go."
Johan clearly understood that his sense and use of earthly language in his words in this realm is more or less equal to when he was on the earth back then.
Johan asked Ricardo, "So what should I do?"
"I want you to know about your current status."
"Yes, I have been waiting for this profile!"

Class information
Extractor: The gocher can grow their domain, being the part of the divine seed community, and expand it with the help of [Extraction]. The gocher can extract the skills if the skill reaches Lv.2; the subsequent information about further ascension in skill is restricted to the gocher. Extracting the ethereal corpse and farming it is possible. The extraction skill in synergy with [The Molder attribute] causes the transfer of molecules of the extracted material to the gocher. Any displacement of the material more than 1 meter from the gocher is not possible. As the name suggests, extraction skill can be used according to the gocher's knowledge.
Note: the extraction skill of [the extractor] does not obey the laws of limitation of knowledge.

Ricardo pointed the portal with his silver and gold embedded spear towards a vortex, which was green in color, symbolizing that it would be the easiest one to clear. Johan looked at the vortex, which was above him and several meters away; he steered the Domain with the wheel in the ship at an elevated area. He quickly understood that he should go there.
The oars rowed against the southern sea of the Gigantia Ocean. Ricardo said, "Enter the vortex and show your resilience in there. Don't lose hope, and remember your goal clearly in there. Here's a hint for you; it might be a life-saving one: try to conjure your damaged parts again and again. Remember to think of regenerating rather than healing, know no limits, and proceed with caution towards the small fiery lizards. The most important thing to note is to just survive for 30 minutes; I will retrieve you once the sufficient time has passed."
"Okay, I will make it out whatever happens; prepare the next Vortexis to clear."
Though he said that I can't defeat a goblin, I might be able to take care of those small lizards. Why is he including the word 'resilience'? This might be an emotional task for me, more like a trial to test me.
Johan entered and removed his white shirt and his cheap black coat; he asked if he had to wear his pants to enter there. Seeing this, Ricardo couldn't help but sigh at his poor master. He asked him to wear it, though he knows that it will be destroyed when Johan comes out of the 'Green Portal.'
When Johan took the armor and his black sword from the inventory, Ricardo stopped him, saying that he should enter the vortex without any weapons and armor.
He sighed. "I am sure this guy is trying to kill me, telling me to enter this without any material in my hands and not even teaching me the basic powers of my affinity. He is definitely plotting something.
[You have entered the awakening portal.]
[All access to the system has been temporarily blocked.]
[You cannot equip any weapons and accessories.]
[Unequip your equipment!]
Johan entered the ethereal space and saw the whole atmosphere turning the heavenly violet space outside into a Volcanic land.
