Secret Zone

"Well, now that that's all settled allow me to lay some knowledge on you concerning some rather advanced geography and astrology, but you're a smart lad, I'm sure you'll be able to wrap that "BIG" brain of yours around these rather advanced concepts in no time."

"To start, as I'm sure you've already realized you are now in an entirely different universe called the starverse, yeah, that's right, I know what you're thinking, I had to go to a completely different universe in order to find a worthy candidate, brings a whole new meaning to outsourcing doesn't it."

"Presently we are located in one of the most respected locations in the entire Starverse, the Star Galaxy, a place filled with unimaginable secrets from bygone eras. Although my Star Galaxy's vast domain is filled with numerous planets, their exists only 9 habitable planetary systems."

"The Starverse uses a planetary rating system which awards all habitable planets with a rating which ranges from 1-9 stars, to accurately show how dangerous a habitable planet is."

"Curiously enough, this Archway which is used to connect to another universe is located on the only habitable planet in this entire galaxy with the lowest rating of 1 star, Goldstar, which is a small, single sun planetary system."

"Goldstar is roughly the same size as your previous worlds sun, with a exact circumference of precisely 500,769 miles, it has 2 massive continents and several smaller ones as well as several numerous islands. The largest continent covering 2/5's of the worlds surface is the Ursa Major continent. we however are currently on her smaller sister continent, the Ursa Minor continent inside of a secret zone called the Big Dipper Valley."

"Wait a minute, what's a secret zone?"

"A secret zone is a pocket of space that is hidden from the world, usually they contain a treasure that has been hidden by someone for safekeeping. There are many secret zones across the entire star galaxy that have still to be discovered. Even I who can proudly boast of a lifespan exceeding several million years has only managed to discover less than 10% of the secret areas in the entire Star Galaxy."

"Secret Zone's are ranked by how old and dangerous the area is, and are ranked from easiest to hardest as, secret zone, hidden zone, lost zone, ancient zone, and primordial zone. The older an area is the greater the level of danger, conversely that also means the greater the treasure you will find, however recently I have come to understand there does exist some exceptions to this premise."

"This secret zone we are currently in, the Big Dipper Valley is the least dangerous of all the secret zones I have discovered and yet oddly enough it is also the oldest area I have discovered. Based upon the ancient symbols of this Archway and other minute signs found around the valley, I have determined that the Big Dipper Valley is as old as a primordial zone, if not older."

"What, but doesn't that mean this should be an incredibly dangerous place!?"

"Exactly, unlike normal creatures, monsters don't grow old, only stronger, usually the older a monster is the stronger they are yet here in this valley's enclosed ecosystem, after millions of billions of years without any external predators the strongest monster in this valley is only a mere level 30 BOSS monster, the [Tangerine Tiger King]. That's far too weak for a secret zone this old."

"The only postulation I can make based upon the available data, is that Big Dipper Valley was intentionally designed to deliberately limit a monsters ability to develop, in order to allow newcomers a chance to grow stronger."

"Anyways this is just one of the countless unexplained mysteries in the Star Galaxy, if you manage to live long enough I'm sure you will find even more."

"Hmm.... for some reason we seem to keep getting off track, because a certain someone keeps asking questions, although I approve of your inquisitive nature Salvatore, please refrain from asking anymore questions till I finish talking."
