Chapter 14: To the Heart's Satisfaction
It just took Remirg about a minute to figure out the solution to his problem.
It was quite simple. So simple that Remirg thought himself to be dumb enough not to think about before, at the moment he had received the message from the Simulator.
The word "simulate", as used by the system to instruct him how to merge the Resonance core with his body, it literally meant it. He literally needed to 'simulate' the core inside his body.
Quite convinced at his deduction, Remirg popped out of the rickety chair and grabbed the Resonance core which was lying peacefully on the table.
Pressing it right against his very chest, Remirg imagined it entering his upper torso, hard. He concentrated all the brainpower he possessed into forming a clear image of that one single thought.
As he had expected, it happened in an instant.
A red glow enveloped him, though he could clearly not view it, his eyes tightly shut. Still, his translucent eyelids allowed a minuscule of the glow, making him aware of the phenomenon.
The next moment, the Resonance core had already left his hand and slid past right into his chest.
Surprisingly, Remirg didn't feel any pain during the short process. The core passed harmlessly inside his chest as if his body were made up of water.
Remirg opened his eyes slowly, absorbing in the fact that inside him resided two "balls" of light, white and black, powering up the magic which Remirg would now successfully be able to perform.
Activating Prana Presence, Remirg was quite amused as he looked inside his chest.
Instead of two distinct cores, a singular mass was rotating slowly, at the very same space where his prana particles condensed to form his life force. It was now forming a certain symbol, which was half black and half white, divided into equal halves by a curved line. In each of the lobes lied a singular small patch of the opposite color, diagonally opposite to each other.
It was another one of the symbols Remirg was not aware of. Neither his mother nor his father had taught him anything about the history and lore of his planet. All he possessed was a brain which could process existing situations at a faster pace than others.
Still, Remirg sighed as he deactivated prana presence, focusing his mind on the use of potent magic.
But something was already waiting for him the moment he did that. A new notification was popped by the Simulator.
[THE PLAYER HAS FULLY ACTIVATED THE MAGICAL CORE INSIDE HIMSELF!

The message did not end there. Another notification clamored its way below it, filling the entirety of Remirg's face.
[A NEW TRAINING QUEST HAS OPENED UP! THE PLAYER CAN NOW TRANSPORT THEMSELVES TO THE SACRED GROUND VIA THE PROVIDED KEY!

Upon reading the message, Remirg just realized as the key suddenly popped out of the display window.
Catching it in time, he noticed the screen vanishing into thin air.
Meanwhile Mark, exhausted after sending too many notifications in one go, as well as hauling the screen of the Item shop, smiled wearily as Remirg started examining the new key which he had just received.
"Never going to lose curiosity, my guy."
Remirg frowned as he looked down upon the fresh key.
This time, it bore a new design.
Completely made up of silver and gold, this key was emanating a considerable amount of prana into the surroundings. The inscription above it bore the same letters, which, to his convenience, Remirg left.
The key was not as large and heavy as its predecessor and was just the proportion of a normal key. But still, the design on its rim were quite impressive.
Its indents were so precise that they seemed impossible to be made by the hands of any Sebran locksmith alive.
Nevertheless, somehow forcing his brain away from analyzing the details on the key, Remirg looked around to find a rough surface to insert the key into.
He had no time to spare. The resolve clearly showed up on his face as he finally settled upon the outer wall of his shack. It was free from public view as it directly faced the lonely woods behind.
Coming out of the shack, he looked around once again, as he had done the first time. For him, it was like a deja vu. But this time, it was much more predictable, much safer than the previous one.
Quietly tiptoeing the perimeter of the shack, he finally faced the outer wall.
Taking a deep sigh, he thrust the newfound key into the wall, certain that it would go right through.
And through it went.
The key inserted itself in the wall as if it were a normal door. Remirg looked at it, unamused. Such incidents have now become a regular in his life.
Reassuring himself that the key really had been inserted into its place, Remirg turned it once, making a clicking sound.
This time, instead of just opening a portal, as Remirg had expected, the key dissolved into the wall, annihilating its existence as it stopped emanating its prana particles.
In its place, a highly polished doorknob had popped out of the wall, effectively forming a door in a wall.
With a stark and bold determination, Remirg slid the knob, opening the door.
A bright white light engulfed him at that very moment. The next thing he knew, he was being pulled deep inside by an unknown force.
And while he screamed, a message popped beside him.
[CONGRATULATIONS! THE PLAYER HAS SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED THE SACRED GROUNDS!]
