Sanctuary

Revealing a few purple crystals, ones that reminded him of the crystallizers mental enhancing crystals. Acting ignorant though, "dad what are these?"

Staring fondly at the crystals he replied. "These are your mothers life work."

Even more confused, Ren asked the obvious question. "Mom?" His dad never talked about her.

"Yes your mother, like me, was a genius researcher, while I focused on geno arts, your mother focused on crystallized technology." He hummed, reminiscing about the past.

"Where's mom? And what do these things do?" Ren asked intrigued.

Sighing, "your mother after transcending into third gods sanctuary, never came back her status is unknown." Pausing briefly. "Use the crystals son, place them on your forehead." 

Doing what was asked, he just like he expected felt an increase in his mental strength. But also an anomaly. Ren felt an unknown space in his head. Looking at his dad with a weird expression, he chuckled.

Then noticed an ethereal orb slowly float towards him from his fathers hand. 

Upon contact he felt a presence in that unknown space. Inspecting it, he found similarities in that of the black sacred blood cat beast soul he won. 

Understanding the significance, he look back up to his father, who spoke before he could react in pride. "That there is your mothers greatest invention. Allowing you to contact and utilize your soul scape easily without consequences."

His dad sent a few more ethereal orbs before walking away. The next day his dad seemed to be in an extremely depressed mood not even giving him a glance.

Confused but not prying, Ren attempted to summon the cat beast soul. Upon inspection of the beast soul a bit more, he sensed some new information enter his mind.

[sacred-blood creature nightmare cat: beast soul type pet-combat mode locked]

Going further the cat was summoned, taking in its surroundings, before curling up and falling asleep, Ren ignored it letting the cat be, moving on to the other beast souls he now had.

[sacred-blood creature scaled squirrel: beast soul type: armor]

[sacred-blood creature furred raptor: beast soul type: mount]

 Surprised at the unexpected gifts, he quickly summoned them. A dirty brown scales armor wrapped around him, fitting seamlessly and a raptor draped in short hair it looked like a hybrid of a chicken and dog.

The recent experience made Ren excited about the prospects of the future. His safety in the first sanctuary was all but guaranteed till he would choose to challenge the super creatures.

The next day his dad and him re-entered the spacecraft making their way back home. 

Six years passed with Rens incentive training and studying not halting. It was his birthday and instead of celebrating it his dad didn't stop him from rushing to the nearest military checkpoint to register for the sanctuary.

In the shuttle Ren filled out some forms online. Once he arrived he just flashed his complete forms from his holographic watch. Immediately granting him access from the machines that were in charge of the entrance. 

Ren saw the teleporter, it didn't look special in any way. Walking threw he was greeted by his personal room. 

Unfurnished and abandoned but clean, Ren ignored it, desiring to figure out what shelter he was at.

The planet he was from Planet idol had only three known sanctuary shelters in the first sanctuary. 

Coral shelter a coastal shelter, palm hill shelter a shelter isolated on a fairly large island, not far from coral shelter and finally blue mangrove shelter, one a distance away from the coast only making contacted with the mangroves that stretched for miles from the sea nearby.

Exiting his room and the building it held. Ren saw a number of similar buildings, a unique building he could tell was the awakening pool every shelter held, a number of makeshift tents hosted by vendors or traveling merchants. In addition to half the view outside the showcasing an endless sea of waves, everyone and then some fish would jump out of the water and birds scoured the sky's. Now knowing he was in the coral shelter.

Before any adventures Ren made his way toward the designated military building. Asking a receptionist for the brief map of the area. Every shelter was to make the territory of ten miles in radius known to all people. Everything beyond that cost money and was private.

While another map of the entire first sanctuary was created overtime only revealing the positions of each shelter, all other information was private and likewise cost money.

Ren researched before how far his area was from steel armor shelter and it was far but not so compared to how large the map truly was.

He plans to trekk the distance eventually for the sole purpose of obtaining a copy of the dougxuan sultra.

Ren didn't want to infringe on the fate of Han Sens fake grandfather, the last universal level being created in order to open and enter that one mysterious gate to who knows where. 

As much as he'd desire the super gene, he'd have to wait around steel armor shelter for close to a decade in order to retrieve and that level of time wasting didnt sit well with him. 

Ren contemplated returning to the first sanctuary in the future with the help of the guardian fox's life essence crystal, but he'd rather find another super gene in the genoverse. It wasn't like it was the only one that existed.

Plus he'd have to find a guardian fox life esense outside of the blood legions eyes to stay safe. 

Finally getting the opportunity he had dreamt of for the last sixteen years. 

Ren left the safety of the shelter avoiding the water for now even though he eventually planed to hunt in the water with the help of his (tide) geno art, since it would be the most lucrative hunting ground away from the competition of fellow awakeners.

He made his way toward the east the grove a popular hunting ground filled with smaller creatures such as birds and rodents.

In this wilderness he kept his guard up even though knowing in the first sanctuary the stronger the creature usually the further away from the shelters.

But a mere primitive creature without his sacred-blood armor would prove a challenge for the current Ren.

Happenstance go on a weird hump in the ground forming a path towards a large tree. 

Ren unsheathed his Z-steel dagger his father gave to him before he left the house. The dagger was good quality, but Ren couldn't wield anything beyond the strength of primitive creature at the moment due to not being able to handle the weight of a lot of Z-steel.

Digging a bit into the dirt hump he noticed it was hollow. Opening the area a bit more he looked down the tail the hollow hump let.

To be startled by a fist size ant rushing down the hall almost runing into his face. Ren subconsciously stabed at the startling threat.
