After confirming that he was still in the game, Cole relax. Well, it's not like there's a game life features in real life right?
Cole summon his [Summoning Grimoire] and said, "Stats."

Cole read all the skills description and understand most of them but he has a vague idea about the [Pet Space].
In the game the [Pet Space] is where the beast are stored when the tamer is not battling. You can't expect the tamer to bring a dragon openly on the city right? In a sense, it is like a pokeball where you can store your Pokemon.
After checking all the details, Cole starts to survey his surroundings. There is nothing much in sight beside a plain land in the front and on the back is a dark forest. He saw the dead green snake near him with three holes in its body and a blue turtle near it. Cole knows it's his very first and soulbound beast and check its stats.

The barrier borrows the energy of the Earth and will absorb damage equivalent five times the HP of the user. If the barrier was not attack, recovers the HP and energy base on Earth energy in the surrounding.
After reading all the descriptions and understanding them, Cole feel very motivated. He wants to start moving and level up! Cole doesn't even think twice and moves to the direction of the forest but suddenly stop. How can he even forgot about his beast! He turns and run where his beast are. He looks the distance between where he stand and the forest and judge that it was somehow a little far. Cole can't help but look forward to the time when he will start riding his beast for trasportation like those that he watch riding in their beast in the game.
Cole looks at the blue turtle and chant, "Retract."
[Magic Circle] appear at the bottom of the turtle and it started to sink but half-way the process, a problem occurred! Coles mentality thinks that he was still the game but he is not! In the game, a tamer only need to chant 'retract' and the beast will 'vanish' and will go to their 'pet space' and the process ends. Nonetheless, as it say 'in the game', becuase 'the game' is just a data and a simple but unexplainable process will suffice.
However, in the reality, things like simple and unexplainable process is not enough! It needs to follow the rules, it needs to follow the law of the world! In other word, what Cole is doing is breaking the law! Just like how a noble was killed by the King becuase of rebellion as his punishment, the [Heaven] will also punish all those who break the law! The way the [Heaven] punish those law breakers are called [Heavenly Tribulation]!
Like a puppet in the srings, Cole suddenly sit down. Energy started running to his whole body but becuase there is nothing to guide that energy, Cole's body started to tremble. The energy is running havoc inside his body and if this energy is still not under control, it will first destroy his meridians and Coles body will explode! So Cole should control the energy the way his cultivation method cultivates but there is something that makes him unable to do the thing, his soul shut down!
Suddenly, the seed that stay dormant in Coles soul tremble! Its having a reaction!
Dark clouds started to appear above Cole. You can even see a snake-like lightning swimming to that clouds and hear a devastating rumble of thunder. The [Heaven Tribulation] has appeared!
[Heaven Tribulation] is the way the [Heaven] punish the law breakers. [Heaven] will plummet with a leg-thick lightning to the criminal and just like how a sheep can't fight wolf, ordinary humans can't survive this calamity. Usually, only those at the [Void Trancendance-Stage] cultivator can endure and fight this [Tribulation] but for Cole, who doesn't even know how to meditate, this [Tribulation] is his nightmare! If miracle didn't happen then Cole is finish.
Fortunately, as if his prayers were answered, the seed in his soul created again a barrier that protects Cole from within. The lightning pummeled the barrier without stopping, however the barrier didn't even waver! As if enraged, the leg-thick lightning suddenly increased in size and became bucket-like-thick!
Minutes later, the thick lightning gets thinner and thinner until sparks is the only thing left by the [Tribulation]. Seconds later, those sparks vanish into thin air. The dark clouds above also started to thin out until the sky was all blue again, as if those big lightning was never even happen in the first place.
When all the clouds were all gone, what is left is a green colored, full of vitality, aura. The aura started to move to where Cole was supposed to be meditating and began to fuse with the seed in his soul. The plain green colored seed started to become glosier and glosier until it become like a seed that was full of life. Since the seed is in his soul, his soul was also nourished with the [Heaven's] aura, some of the aura also nourished his eyes.
When the [Heaven's] aura was no more, the full of life seed moves and leave his soul. It started going downward until it stop to the place below his naval and fuse with the grimoire. The seed let out a green aura then the mana that was wrecking havoc in his body started to stabilize. The flood like flow of mana started to flow like a calm lake, there is no disturbance. The mana flows through his meridians gently until it finishes its first success flow. Like the first success, the mana pass through his meridians again and again.
It was calm after the storm but that calm didn't last long. Whirlpools are starting to appear everywhere! Those whirlpools are like a whale feeding in the ocean, it sucks all the energy in the surroundings. Those whirlpools sucks the white, brown, blue, green, red, green, azure, yellow, black, light blue colored mana in the scene but there is one big whirlpool that was too eye-catching appeared! That particular whirlpool actually pass the atmosphere and reach the outer space! Then started to attract and eat a plentiful amount of dark blue mana from the atmosphere. It was the [Space-Energy] in particular!
But where all that mana go?
In the place below the naval of Cole, in a place called [Dantian] where the [Summoning Grimoire] had been, those mana started to collect and arrange inside of the book. The dark blue mana, the space mana, started to stabilized the place. It create a sphere like barrier that makes all the other mana unable to go out. Moments later the brown, earth attributed mana started to clot. The Earth mana actually started to form a soil in the space! On another side, a blue, Water attributed mana started to gather. Its forming a body of water! The azure, wind attributed mana started to circulate in the space, the green, wood attributed mana fuse with the soil and give its vitality while the white, metal attributed mana fuse also with the soil and some started to Harden. The red fire mana clots below the soil and the space started to heat.
When the process ends and stabilize, the whirlpools outside started to banish. The seed that was hovering in the air inside of space also sink below the earth. Seconds later, a sprout appear and minutes later, that sprout became a tree. A three meter long tree with three tree branch and some leaves.
Outside, the [Magic Circle] with the turtle finally vanish along with the turtle.
