Chapter 1021: Edden Aple
-----
After having lunch with my friends and my family and her friends, I moved to the backyard with Mark, to test out our abilities, check my new Spells, and overall take a look at how the Domain is doing. And see if I can find any Druids sneaking around…
"Is it my idea or has the whole garden gotten… Even larger?" He looked around. "Maybe it some sort of optic illusion? It looks as if everything has become larger and denser, and was your house territory this big?"
"I… Now that you mention it, it does looks very big!" I nodded, looking around. "Katherine, are you there?" I called for the Forest Fairy.
FLASH!
She appeared within a second in front of me, after releasing a spark of green light.
"Yup, here I am, Master Elayne~ Is there something you need?" She asked, while munching on some chocolate bar. She had a big stash of candies and snacks I gifted to her.
"I was wondering if the garden has gotten bigger? No, like the whole territory of my house? Won't people notice?" I wondered.
"Oh! That must be your Domain growing stronger. Don't worry, it is a thin line between the reality others see and feel and your Domain. Yes, it has become physically larger, but people you don't allow to, won't notice a single thing, so don't worry~!" She said. "Well, unless they're like… Spirits or Druids, or strong magicians."
"A-Ah, okay…" I nodded. "Wait, is this like, distorting space or something?"
"Kind of!" She said. "But at the same time, it is just the naturel growth of your place… Right, your Eden Apple Tree is growing big, I've been tending to it!" She quickly led me to it. "Look, it is a big sapling now!"
"Oh, how nice." I smiled, caressing the plant. "Should I feed it with my energy?"
"A bit is fine, but if you overdo it, it might end up dying. So don't force magic plants to grow faster, they can't handle it like normal plants." Katherine said. "Gently and steady."
"Okay." I nodded, touching the tree and imbuing it with my energy, only a tiny bit.
FLASH!
The tree quickly grew a few centimeters bigger, one of its branches suddenly popped out a white colored flower, which rapidly became a small, fist-sized red apple!
"Woah, it is giving you a gift! Looks like it's happy!" Katherine clapped her hands.
"Really?" I wondered. "I can take this apple then?"
"Of course, it is the tree's gift!" Kathreine nodded.
"Wow, who would have thought the Seed you got from Heaven would be so grateful, I thought it would take a while to ever give a fruit." Mark commented.
"Me too, honestly… But I guess not!" I giggled, gently taking out the apple.
Then, using my Spirit Eyes, I looked at whatever info I could extract.
-----
[Lesser Holy Edden Apple]
A smaller, lesser Holy Eden Apple born from a young Eden Apple Sapling that really wanted to say thank you to their master.
It glows mysteriously, and although it is very small, it is delicious and nutritious. When eaten, it can grant a moderate amount of Celestial Runes, Mana, and Holy Spirit Energy.
For those that aren't compatible, rejuvenation, healing, and energy boost are also possible.

"Not bad! I'll eat it then." I was the only one that could truly benefit from it, so I paid no mind and ate it, Mark nodded as he let me do it.
"Ooh, I smelled something really good and came running!" Gabriel suddenly appeared as I was finishing the tiny apple. "A-Are there more of those apples? I… I remember eating a lot back home!"
"Oops…" I gulped it down. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't know they were your favorite! I… I ate it, the only one…"
"Nooo!" Gabriel fell to his knees. "Sniff…"
He was definitely being overly dramatic there!
But he was also really cute, so it was forgiven.
"Right, angels do like those apples too, I guess." Katherine nodded. "They're from their place after all. Sadly, I doubt the tree will make any new ones for a little while… It is very young after all."
"Augh…" Gabriel kept weeping.
"Come on Gabriel, no need to weep so much." I sighed. "Here, how about you eat some ice cream instead? I got some cookies and cream cone."
"Oh, really?" Gabriel looked like drooling, as I gave him some ice cream and he immediately went back to normal.
Children are easy to please, I suppose.
Leaving the child aside, I felt my Halo growing stronger after eating that apple, an Aura of light surged from my body.
[You have consumed the [Lesser Holy Edden Apple], you have gained a large quantity of Celestial Runes, Mana, and Holy Spirit Energy.]
[Your Angelic Halo: {Spiritual Angelic Halo}: Rank 8 has Ranked Up to Rank 9!]
[Your Celestial Energy quantity has increased greatly.]
[Your Angelic Power has been enhanced.]
Oh, only one more Rank to go before my Halo Ranks Up. I wonder what happens after I get to that? Will my Halo become different in some way?
I didn't get any new ability though, but it did say my Wards became stronger, it seems the power of my Wards depends on the amount of Angelic Runes I have.
However, in BNLO they're boosted even more thanks to the power of the Barrier Master Title, making my barriers on BNLO considerably stronger than in Earth.
Nevertheless, with that done, I moved to another topic, checking the Domain itself.
I decided to check my Domain information by walking towards the Quest Table, which still didn't have new Quests available. Makes sense, not even a week has been since I completed the rest, I guess. I looked at the Domain's "Status".
-----
Domain: {Domain Core: Heart of the Forest}: Tier 1: Ethereal Domain. 45% -> 75%/100%
Domain Themes: {Forest of Secrets} {Forest of Fantasia} {???}
Domain Abilities: [Expanded Senses] [Domain Manipulation] [Nature's Gift] [Fountain of Life] [Domain Quest Table] [Domain Shop] [Dream Gate] [???]
Spirit Crystal Coins: 150 / Mystery Seeds: 0
-----
Oh? What's this? The Progression of the Domain increased! Is this why it felt so big out of nowhere? It went from 45 percent to a hundred percent. It might soon Rank Up!
However, why did it go up without me feeding it any resources? Is it because of the powers in my Soul?
And what are those question mark thingies? Find adventures on m,v lem|p,yr
