"Hehe, since I'm its architect, I will name it the 'Upgrade Matrix'." Replied Hope enthusiastically.
"It looks very impressive, but how will it help me." Asked Koren.
"Hehe, I think it's better to just show you." Hope replied as she brought the Upgrade Matrix close to Koren's Spiritual Core.
"Now carefully move your Spiritual Core inside the Matrix." Said Hope as the Matrix opened up like a box.
"OK, big sis, this better not hurt." Koren slowly moved his core and placed it right in the center of the Matrix, which automatically closed up.
"Now take out the shard again and place it in the central housing." Said Hope .
Koren did not waste time asking any more questions, and took the shard out. All he had to do was think about it, and it appeared in his hand. He brought the shard close to the upgrade matrix and it automatically flew towards the hole in the center.
As soon as the shard entered the hole, the matrix started to glow with a blue hue. Koren could feel spiritual energy being circulated into his core, pure spiritual energy. He could feel his level rise by the second.
He activated his display and saw his Stats.
Name: Koren
Spiritual Path: Level 5(57%) {Realm: Spirit}
Human Path: Level ?? {Realm: ??}
Harmonization: None
Elemental Power: 32 (Interchangeable)
Koren was shocked, he could visibly see the percentage on his level bar increase by the second.
57%.
58%.
59%.
60%.
61%.
His level continued to increase, but the glow from the upgrade matrix did not dim at all.
"Big sis, this is amazing." Said Koren enthusiastically.
"Isn't it. I knew you would like it, others have to cultivate very carefully, slowly refining the spiritual shards, and then absorbing them. But you are different, you have the Armor and you have me."
"The Armor absorbs the shards and refines them, and I will write a program to automatically transfer that power to the Upgrade Matrix. You will continually level up without ever having to sit down and cultivate." Said Hope with a huge smile on her face.
"Big sis can it level me up a little faster, it seems slow." Asked Koren.
"Ah, you idiot. Its already happening a lot faster than you think. The flow of time is faster in here than it is outside. If you were outside, then the leveling would feel instantaneous to you. The only slowing factor is the Armor's ability to refine the shards, although you don't have to worry about that right now." Replied Hope.
"Also, as your core levels up, your ability to absorb the spiritual power will also increase, so you will level up even faster." Hope continued.
As Hope explained, the Upgrade Matrix was slowly doing its job, and it wasn't long before Koren felt a rush of energy in his spiritual core, he could feel his core's capacity grow.
He checked his stats.
Name: Koren
