The largest Dragon Vein emanated a fiery essence, materializing together into a large sphere of flames, which quickly floated atop the grasslands. It emanated a strong heat and light, it was actually so bright I had to cover my eyes.

"Uwaahhh… Is this a Great Sol?" I wondered.

"GRUOH!" The enormous spirit gave a small groan, it could easily be fired to something and blast it into a deadly and fiery explosion… Amazing, the power of Spirits was really great! I could easily defeat another boss monster with their help.

The four Spirits glanced at me, waiting for my command as they floated in midair without doing anything else, they were not able to speak directly to me so they remained in silence for the most part. Well, you guys didn't have to worry, you didn't need to do anything else.

"A-Amazing, you summoned four Sunlight Spirits, Lady Planta!" said Acorn. "I have never seen spirits this bright and powerful before… I can even feel their entire power flaming around constantly… Y-You could set ablaze a large portion of the forest with them, they're certainly dangerous!"

"Don't worry about it! The spirits would never damage nature willingly," I said. "Even if they explode inside the forest, they can manipulate their own flames and make it so they don't burn trees or surrounding vegetation… It is the magic of spirits, who are different in that regard than just raw magic spells that use elements!"

"A-Ah…. I see…! It is as if they were the element itself and can manipulate how it responds and more?" Wondered Acorn.

"Kind of, yeah…" I said. "I don't understand much more beyond that. Spirit Magic users don't really need to understand magic usage, we leave that to the spirits, we just have to treat them nicely and give them mana."

"Amazing!" He said again.

"Okay stop praising me so much, I don't think I deserve it…" I sighed.

"GRUOH!"

The giant Great Sol asked me for something to do, we were talking way too much and the spirit was an impatient one, perhaps because it was a fire spirit, they wanted to destroy and burn things? Hmm… Well, that couldn't be done now.

"S-Sorry, could you help me out at raising my plants with your light? Pretty please, I really need your help, mister Spirit!" I said, imploring for the help of the spirit.

"…"

The Great Sol looked at me expressionlessly, it seemed to be thinking about it. Wow, spirits were pretty prideful! But the other three Tiny Stars began to fly around him, convincing him at the end.

"Kyuwa!"

"Waa!"

"Kyuu!"

"…Gruoh…"

The Great Sol then began to fly upwards, almost around 50 meters atop us, and stayed still in the middle of the air… It was so big and bright that it illuminated anything within almost 500 meters around it in a circular shape! It didn't exactly feel like it was morning, but it felt like it was around 5 PM instead, the sun was still strong but not as powerful.

But the light of the Great Sol was so strong it even cleared the sky and made it look blue too, while the surroundings that were not illuminated still shone with stars of their own, it was as if we had our own tiny day while the rest of our surroundings was a beautiful and soothing night, a strange sight to behold indeed.

However, it was all quite beautiful, and I couldn't help but feel wonderful as I was being bathed by this genuine sunlight! It was almost the same as the real sunlight, so my body began doing photosynthesis automatically, and my Satiation Meter started to fill up slowly.

Phew, it always felt good when my body began to produce its own sugars to feed me, I feel filled with energy! Now, time to do the stuff I wanted to do for a loooong while!

"Time to make a farm! Alright, we got the nice, beautiful sun atop our heads, and then… The soil!" I said.

Actually, I never truly maintained a farm, I only helped my grandparents, so I had no idea how to "start" one, but I did have some basic knowledge about how to maintain the vegetables healthy, water them, and so on.

However! I got two Skills that can help me out in doing this almost automatically, and those are…

[Terrain Adaptability: Lv1]

As an experienced Farmer, you're able to adapt to any terrain and make it your farm. You can adapt to the terrain of your environment, as long as there is any sort of soil to it, you can somehow find the way to make a farm! Additionally, it grants the innate ability of adapting to any terrain within the game. Additionally, enhances the Soil Richness of any Terrain you make your farm by +50%. Each Level enhances the number of terrains you can adapt into farms, and the soil richness given to them straight away. Number of Terrains that can be taken over: 5

-----

And…

-----

[Soil Manipulation: Lv1]

As a farmer, you have the innate ability to manipulate Soil. When manipulating the soil of your farm, you can choose which nutrients to enhance, and make the Soil richer. You can also shape the soil using Farming Tools and Soil Manipulation together, expanding the size of your farm as long as there is space to add to it. Based on the plants you're raising; certain types of nutrients will be needed. Corpses of animals, decomposing plants, and even feces can be used to enhance certain nutrients in the soil. Additionally, any Soil within your Farms receives a passive +20% enhancement to their Richness, which increases with each level.

These two amazing Skills would let me make a territory for my farm and then manipulate the soil on it. So, I'll go step by step first. I needed to first use Terrain Adaptability on this piece of land.

"Erm… How do I activate this? Well, let's try with the most basic form… Terrain Adaptability!" I shouted out loud, as I suddenly saw something that nobody else could see but me.

FLASH!

Around the entire grassland, enormous "tiles" appeared, glowing with a bright blue light, which separated each piece of terrain from one another. They were around… 10 x 10 square meters, not so big, but not so small either. I could only take 5 Tiles for now, unless I level up the skill, but five tiles were already around 50 x 50 square meters! I didn't think I needed more than that for now, especially because I was aiming to start with a little garden rather than anything else.

The guide emerged at my side, he seemed as amazed as me, he was actually excited I was finally going to make a farm, as he flew around and indicated to me what to do.

"I see, so you're finally making a farm! You've really just worked yourself just to do this…" He sighed. "Anyways, just use a mind command to select all the tiles you want. In the game, tiles can be taken over by other players as long as they're owner-less, but when they are from another player, you must sell it to them. Of course, places occupied by NPC cannot often be acquired by players easily, and need to be purchased from NPC just the same as you would buy a piece of land from somebody."

"Ooh, I see, so what if I take over all this land, it is all mine?! And then I could sell it?!" I asked.

"Well yeah, nobody has taken over these lands because they're monster infested. Aside from people making factories using NPC, or building small towns for their friends and NPC, there is a lot of land ready to be taken by anybody, some players try to monopolize it, but the Farmer is a new class, it has yet to make a big impact into the game's economy through its production of vegetables and the raise of farm animal cattle and products."

"W-Wait a second… Then can't I monopolize this?" I wondered.

"T-Technically? I guess you could try? There are very few Farmer Players, and all of them are barely Level 1 or 3… It seems some even deleted the avatar and recreated it. Looks like some people just try out classes and if they don't like them, they delete the avatar and remake it… You're currently a higher level farmer," he said.

"M-Me? But I am just level 9… Seriously, is nobody really playing this Job Class? Sigh…" I sighed, as I felt like I was playing something that nobody liked.

"Well yeah, people just prefer a flashy swordsman, berserker, magician, bishop, archer, necromancer, and so on. In fact the amount of Necromancers there are, is indeed quite insane, it is the most used Class after Hero." Laughed the Guide.

"Wow, so a big part of the player base are copycats of one another?" I wondered.

"Not really, everybody, well, mostly everybody has unique Job Class changes and upgrades based in the Quest Lines they're doing, although everyone picks a Base Job Class, alongside your race, it evolves over time and becomes your own unique Job Class, with your unique Skills and more, it is all generated by the game," said the guide. "Amazing, isn't it? This is the Nexus Technology after all, the latest in the market!"

"It is indeed quite amazing!" I said with a surprised smile. "B-But why does everybody just pick Necromancer and Hero…?"

"Ahh… That's because the Hero Job Class is the most popular, everybody wants to be a Hero… Or a villain, in which case they pick the "coolest" class ever, the Necromancer that raises the Undead… Yeah, I think it became popular around the year 2018 when a certain Korean webcomic launched." said the guide.

"How odd, well, whatever's the case, I will just buy these tiles- I mean, take over them forcefully!" I said. "I wish things could be so easy back on Earth, just go to an uncharted land and just say it's yours! Wow, that would be so easy…"

I quickly did the mental commands, as five tiles in front of me began to glow from blue to green, suddenly gaining an owner, me! Each tile even had a small information box.

"Oooh, it says I can convert them into Farm Tiles! Alright, Soil Manipulation, do your thing!"
