07 Clear as a Shattered Sky "mirrors"

Having found a good spot to stay the night Anne went in her room to log off and have a good rest.

Anne's Doll body is like any organic body it needs rest unlike a robot body that just run until it deteriorate she need to let the doll to cool off.

Black sun although black it is terrifyingly bright and giving off a warm yet unsettling at the same time accompanying this ominous sun are nine hell bent moons. Meanwhile the land is overgrown with grass with trees just on the horizon, hills that looks like mountains having capped by ice and snow and mountains that pierce the sky littered the background. But if observe well enough you'll notice that the empty grassland is filled to the brim with gravitational and spatial tears.

With a single step the picturesque view shattered like a silver laced mirror, distorting and folding the word in itself. This is the Shattered realm or the infamous Chaos realm.

This one is a bit different because it link to an individual namely Anne Kyle. Although its a real world that exist somewhere and can be accessed externally by supreme luck or chance, Anne is your only ticket to find this specific Shattered world.

Usually this type of realm is created during the first spark or when a reality starts to form a living universe but that type is far more complete than others it is like Anne's own realm but a tad bit livelier, well this types are called origin realm . Natural ones can't be found but they exist in theory but an origin realm can be artificially created by igniting an origin stone destroying it in process.

A more common version is a self realm usually created using cultivation arts and commonly called Life or Soul Sea. This type expand as the individual grows and this one cant hold any physical items but if the item is crafted with special materials that can bind itself on to the soul then it can enter.

Another is Spatial storage that uses void crystals this one depends on the quality of the crystal and craftsmanship and usually fashioned as jewelries. Although this is a realm at most void crystal creates an inhabitable realm and too small to fit a living person only a few kinds create a habitable realm but those are price billions or even more.

So what Anne have is coveted but no one want destroy an origin stone.

Even though Anne can't physically bring anybody to her realm that is due the properties of the Origin stone used it maybe random or Stone specific what she is certain is that luck was involve.

But one thing Anne is sure that her's needs soul and soul is her man power here.There are other rules that also factors but Anne tends to ignore it, for one she gave full automation to Ann and two she has more problem to face fixing up the initial blunder she got into when she accidentally killing hundreds of innocents and thousands of armed militia and mercs or maybe the this one is not on the list but Anne still regret the misunderstanding due to lack of communication.

So Anne plan to clean few names on her death list.

Anne looked for a certain rift although the shattered world looks peacefully chaotic it self all of this rifts are unstable phasing in and out. Finding a stable one is like looking for a tiny needle on a haystack but eventually you will find one it's just hard not rare. Even though one can stabilize a rift it will use so much raw resources that you can build a whole city out of it so instead of stabilizing one just look for one.

Wandering for a few minutes Anne found the rift that reside on a pedestal adorned with errudite and fine white gold inlaid and engraved in a runic symbols on a pearl jade slab.

This pedestal is one of the marker for the city of Alantis.

Anne walk through the riff what greeted her is a great hall situated in the middle of a plaza.This place is one of the numerous transfer points in Atlantis you may call it the HUB.

Anne took her time for a leisure walk around the city.

"Wow the city is sure bustling" Anne exclaim.

[Main this is has been the latest progress since you decided to open up Atlantis to the shattered realm]

"OK while we walk here can you give me a run down"

[YES gladly to do so]

'so we start here at the south

we got off the southern HUB that service 200 thousand souls and few random tribes albeit far less than what the central and the east HUB services which can rich as high as 2 million souls alone this HUB is growing.

Inhouse stalls and roadside hagler's are far more rampant here that the other HUBs.

large Tribes began constructing large halls to accomodate their younglings that are buying entrance to the academy you set up.

Also Ann has ordered that we should start the construction of the west quadrant for housing.

so west is still has no population as of now. On the north that large part were the Academy was supposed to be constructed was turned in to student trading area so Ann turn it into a park and the Academy was shifted to northeast.

Oh yes the outskirts is still full of slums but we don't bother with them unless they enter our city.

On the economic side of things we began to introduce the monetary system unlike before where the souls directly sold soul stone and the tribe just settle for just food now we gave them this after much refining.

copper-silver-gold-platinum on coins with the increments of ten. It is now based on the exchange rate of soul Jade which is 5 platinum coins.

red-blue-white-black-diamond as bank cards with red card with a deposit cap of 10 thousand platinum coins and a minimum deposit of 1 thousand platinum coins as for the other level cards blue card has 100 thousand cap and a deposit of 10 thousand and the white and the black cards have 1 million cap and a deposit of 350 thousand while the diamond card is unlimited but this card has VIP status and cant be release to the public as for now only you Main has the card.

This happen just lately we got new souls coming in the rifts wild lands, if your gonna ask how we can identify them that is ... oh look over there that's one'

Anne look over when she saw a little gal looking lost and a bit unstable.

'we try to stabilize them as fast as we could but sometimes there are lapses.... if you are concern I already contacted our people they will be here any moment'

Anne approach the little one and ask.

"Are you lost?" the girl look at her.

"Umm no..."

"how did you get here?"

"I woke up here" Anne was surprise to hear this because her realm is not in any way connected with the material world.

"come closer I'll give you something and you should follow that lady here to the temple" Anne gesture to a lady wearing white qipao with bloody raven design then she bun the little girl's hair pining it with a soul jade lotus pin.

The lady gave a deep bow and pick up the little kid up.

"bye bye Goddess"

With a smile Anne moved on her travels.

"Ann I think something happened with the protector?"

[but we haven't met him/her]

"That's fine if the protector is dead the souls would rush here by now"

"Ok now on more serious topic give me the power balance currently here in the city?"
