Inventors system

In order to break through the earth realm, Morana needed to have all her abilities on the peak of the Mortal Realm, currently, she only had her space and knowledge affinities on the peak of the Mortal Realm but this wasn't the only problem.

Mortal Realm is the only one that can be practiced without any manuals, of course, there is always a difference when one cultivates with one, like her seer abilities.

The only affinity she doesn't need to practice for is her space ability as this ability came from her blood she practically has it in her blood.

All she needs is to have an imagination and high enough magic cultivation.

Magical cultivation before the sky realm only has the job to develop one's body and mana capacity. But after the practitioner breaks through the sky realm everything changes. 

After breaking through the sky realm your mana force takes shape, it could become either some kind of an element, weapon, beast, or so on. This greatly enhances the practitioner's power.

One can't change cultivation manuals after they start practicing, so choosing the correct one is very important.

With the help of the system, Morana chose the best mana cultivation manual for her affinities but for some people, this becomes a lifelong struggle as their great talent goes to waste because of the lack of resources.

It is a well-known fact that as practitioners become stronger, more unique affinities they will get, and sometimes because of the incorrect manual, their affinities go to waste.

After walking out of the 4th game arena the group once again started pondering on which arena to go to next.

They have been quite lucky so far as they have not failed any of the games even though lots of people died and now only 10 of them were left.

When they looked at the map, the 2nd game arena "Mafiosi" was the closest to them and if they cleared this game as well they would be halfway done.

So, without much discussion, everyone headed to the destination.

Before reaching the game arena the group already noticed the mass of players here. At least 7 teams were already at the arena before them.

The host of this arena was a man that looked no different from the typical white-collar worker. His name was Adam, with dark green hair and brown eyes that were barely visible through his glasses and tired puffy eyes.

"You have the option of choosing how many players from your team will participate, you have 5 minutes when you are ready, go on stage, and wait for the game to start." He said without any excitement or any welcoming words as he saw the group.

Adam was the perfect meme with a caption that read, "I don't care, leave me alone"

"I will go." Said Zoel and others agreed without too many words.

"I will go with you." Said Shio, as two games have already passed since his last participation he was already eligible to play again.

"I will also participate." Cliff also volunteered, at first he was scared of participating in the games because of the high percentage of death but now he felt quite urgent as only 4 games were left after this one and he still needs to complete 2 if he wants to survive.

Others didn't have much opinion on this and agreed without additional discussion.

But the fact that this group was harmonious about deciding things didn't mean that was the case for others as well.

Quite a fight broke out in one team, as they couldn't decide on the participants. Lots have come to realize that the higher the number of the game, the harder they are so as everyone wanted to survive they preferred to participate in easier games.

As "Mafiosi" was the second easiest, lots of players wanted to have it easier but the problem was the group couldn't send everyone to participate in one game, so some people were left unsatisfied.

Finally, all the participants were decided and now 18 participants stood on the stage ready to play the game with their life on the line.

When everyone was ready, a large round table rose from the ground with chairs, and finally, they could start the game.

Sure enough, this game wasn't as hard as the previous ones, it wasn't much different from the normal game of Mafiosi, the only difference was that the players that were out, died.

Another difference was that, if Mafiosi won but the villager that was left alive was his/her own teammate then they would still be counted as winners and not die. Also, more than one team could win the game, so, compared to other games this one was quite lenient.

And if the villagers won, the same rule didn't apply. As for villagers to win all Mafiosi must be found and therefore they die.

Out of the 18 players, 6 were Mafiosi while the other 12 were villagers. Zoel and Cliff both got Mafiosi cards while Shio got a villager card.

At first, everything was going well for all three of them, they managed to not stand out much in the group, but were not inactive as well as not to draw attention.

But when there were only 10 people left out of which 4 were Mafiosi, Cliff made a mistake in his speech and drew attention to himself, resulting in him being suspected by the majority and was in the end killed.

With the cliff eliminated, the spotlight also landed on Zoel and Shio and they were in quite a bad situation at first but with his quick thinking, Zoel managed to move that spotlight to another Mafiosi and villager resulting in a heated battle between other teams.

All Zoel had to do was wait to reap the benefits, sadly for others they realized his deep schemes too late and Mafiosi won the game.

Other than Zoel and Shio, another Mafiosi and villager from his team also managed to stay alive and clear the game.

So, the team managed to clear their 4th game successfully, but their numbers were once again reduced.
