Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 9

According to the information on the Optical Brain, every season after this one was basically its own kind of apocalypse.

Before the worst of it arrived, Dora had to build at least one proper shelter, something that could block wind and rain, control temperature, and offer basic protection.

Females didn’t have combat abilities. If Dora wanted to survive, she would need protection from beast mates like other females did.

Building a homestead, earning supplies, and getting through daily life all required beast mates too.

After reading for a while, Dora finally began to understand how survival worked in this world.

In this harsh environment, both males and females awakened supernatural abilities.

At 18, females awakened a planting ability in their Spatial Realm. The food grown inside their Spatial Realm could fill the stomach and also contained crystal energy.

The higher a female’s level, the richer her Spatial Realm became, and the stronger the crystal energy in her crops.

Males usually awakened different combat abilities when they were still young, depending on their talent and genetic quality.

Alien beasts appeared everywhere, and the climate on most planets was brutal. The Core Planet was the political and economic center of the Interstellar Federation, so naturally, it was also the safest and best–governed planet.

The interstellar military divided the alien beasts on the Core Planet by level and sealed them inside different training zones. Citizens could hunt there, train, improve their supernatural ability levels, and gather materials and starcoins needed for daily life.

A female’s Spatial Realm always started at level 1 and slowly upgraded after mating.

Because females were rare and precious, the government had strict rules. Once a female turned 18 and awakened her Spatial Realm Ability, she could choose beast mates on her own.

By the time she turned 22, she had to be matched with at least five beast mates.

If a female reached 22 without five beast mates, the government would assign matches based on genetic compatibility.

Once a match was formed, the male could only gain crystal energy from food produced by his matched female’s Spatial Realm.

If the female took the initiative to dissolve the match, the male could remarry and gain crystal energy from the next female partner’s Spatial Realm food.

But if the male forcefully broke the match, even if he remarried later, he would no longer be able to gain crystal energy from his new female partner’s Spatial Realm.

Besides, his supernatural ability level would also drop sharply, and he might even fall back to his starting level with no way to advance again.

The same thing happened if the female died.

This rule protected females, who had no combat supernatural abilities, and helped secure their survival and family status in the dangerous interstellar world.

Caldes planting a female’s Spatial Realm could also store items, but it couldn’t preserve them. Time inside the Spatial

Realm flowed at the same speed as the outside world.

As the Spatial Realm leveled up, it could also support breeding and raising more edible species.

Because of that, the strength of a female’s Spatial Realm was closely tied to the strength and growth of her matched males.

In this world, the supernatural ability level was he clearest symbol of power.

Alien beast crystal cores could also provide a small amount of crystal energy.

When Dora read that part, she couldn’t help thinking of Clive.

He was an orphan with no parents and no marriage match. And yet, at only 26, he had already reached Pinnacle Rank 4. What he had paid for all this was easy to imagine.

Clive’s confession from four years ago echoed in her ears again. “Dora, match with me. I don’t care if you’re a defective female.

“I’ll hunt alien beasts myself and get crystal cores to keep my crystal energy steady and raise my supernatural ability. I’ll protect you. I’ll earn more starcoins and give you a good life.”

Only now did Dora finally understand why this body and its instincts had no guard up against Clive.

She’d grown older, and some part of her had come to understand the love and responsibility behind his words. Maybe she’d also realized how different Clive was from Cassian, that jerk, and how much regret had been left behind by missing him back then.

Dora shook her head and pulled her wandering thoughts back. She closed her eyes and sank her awareness into the Spatial Realm that belonged only to her.

What appeared before her was a barren stretch of sandy soil, roughly the same size as her land outside, about 5,000 square

feet.

According to the information on her Optical Brain, most females awakened a Spatial Realm of only about 2,000 square feet. Even those with excellent talent usually had around 500.

She thought, ‘Why is my land so large? Is my talent good or bad?”

or crops,

Dry dust hung in the air. There wasn’t the slightest sign of life, sprouts, or crops, not even a single weed.

This sandy, lifeless land had been one of the roots of all her pain, jealousy, and twisted choices,

Memories surged up again before she could stop them.

[

On the day of her awakening ceremony at 18. Dora had looked with hope, only to see this hopeless patch of sand.

It was far larger than the average female’s starting Spatial Realm, but it was barren. Nothing grew there.

Meanwhile, Iris, who had umidly hidden behind their mother, was tested and found to have 200 square meters of rich,

fertile land.

It was small, but the soil was good. Their mother had been delighted and gave them both the same vegetable seeds.

Before long, Iris’s Spatial Realm produced small greens full of crystal energy.
