Chapter 804 Understanding the system
After hearing about the recurring tremors from his grandparents, Rain nodded in understanding. These tremors, which persisted intermittently for approximately a decade after the meteor fall, sparked a sense of curiosity and concern within him. Initially, Rain had assumed these tremors might indicate some external force attempting to damage the barrier separating the first layer from the second.

However, upon deeper reflection, he began to consider an alternative explanation.
Rain considered the possibility that these tremors weren't external threats but rather indications of an internal change within the barrier itself. Imagining that the barrier might be thickening over time, he assumed that this potential increase in thickness could account for the planet's larger size compared to Earth.
This insight provided a plausible explanation for the frequent tremors, suggesting an ongoing evolution or alteration within the barrier separating the layers.
"I guess it doesn't surprise me that the dragons had the means to deal with the dust all along..." Rain said. "Anyway, I can deal with that once I find everyone else. I will return as soon as possible."
"Be careful out there," Meiro said. "We wish you good luck."
"We will be waiting for you. Try not to take too long this time, but don't rush it," Luana smiled while trying to contain her tears.
"I have to use magic to search for them... or look for traces of battles," Rain thought while furrowing his eyebrows. "Perhaps I should chase that ice dragon from before."
Despite his efforts to trace the path of the ice dragon he had flown after passing over the hideout, Rain's day-long journey yielded no significant findings. Despite his attempts to follow the dragon's flight, he encountered no traces of the creature or any other familiar landmarks along the way.
The day came to an end, leaving Rain no closer to locating his companions or unraveling the mystery of their whereabouts.
While flying around, Rain didn't find traces of anything, but he kept flying in a straight line... if anything, he would be able to cross the whole planet like that and understand its full dimensions properly. He also would be able to learn more about the geography of the place, and that would come in handy in the future.
"If they stopped moving for one reason or the other, it is unlikely that they stayed in a single place for more than ten years... they have the knowledge and the skills to grow food underground, so that won't be a problem," Rain thought. "The real problem would be extra powerful enemies... I can't delay this anymore."
Rain had to look for his family while getting stronger as well, fortunately, he already had some ideas on how to do that. After studying the system for decades inside the ring, Rain realized a few important things.
The system operated on three fundamental principles to reward its users: sacrifice, effort, and actions. The more an individual sacrificed in terms of time and energy for the system, the greater the rewards they would receive—be it experience for themselves, enhancement of skills, or progress along various paths.
Effort was another crucial factor, not just in terms of time and energy expended but also regarding sustained, continuous actions over extended periods, whether days, months or even years, without interruption.
Effort was probably the reason why Rain got stronger and became the strongest human despite his young age... However, that wasn't everything. Effort actually wasn't the most efficient way for a person to get stronger.
