Ning decided to check his status one more time as he had come to the decision of waiting to do whatever he wanted to do

"Well, I'm halfway there to getting talent, I guess," Ning thought. "Should I wait for a little longer then?"
However, he had already come to the decision to leave and no longer wanted to stick around doing nothing but gathering energy.
"I really need some human interaction, or I might go numb at this rate," he thought and flew away from the forest he was in.
Along the way, he saw a couple of beasts with some purple lights escaping from around their body or their eyes, but they were way too common around here, so he didn't think much of them. After all, they were simply normal Aether beasts.
As he had previously known, the world of Vilmore was about the same size as Planet Earth, but it only had a single continent on it. The single continent however spanned the entirety of the southern hemisphere, while the northern hemisphere was nothing but a massive ocean.
The continent had a single massive forest that ran across half of it and was what marked the beginning and end of the continent.
Viewing from the forest when turned towards the ocean, the continent began from the left of it and went all the way until it ended when it reached the forest again.
The forest was thousands of kilometers wide, filled with Aether beasts, so people never traveled through the forest.
Ning remembered the man-eating tree he found back when he was here. If he could find such trees just an hour after walking in, who knew what sort of nightmare the place held.
Ning shook his head and flew in the direction of the start of the continent. He was still on the outer edge of the continent and was not that far away from returning to the ocean if he wanted to.
Finally, after an hour of flying, he was out of the massive forest.
He looked around trying to find where exactly he was. According to the map, there should've been a village around here.
"Oh, there is it," Ning thought when he finally saw them on the other side of the sand dunes.
"This is the Utlar village?" he thought. He slowly landed out of it and walked into the village, however, he was surprised that he did not find anyone outside.
There was not a single person roaming the streets of the village. All the houses he saw had their doors shut, but they didn't have any locks. He wished to see what was inside but unfortunately, he didn't have any divine sense in this body. Not that he could use it on this planet.
For a few seconds, he thought that he had come to a place with no people, just a ghost town. However, soon he knew he was wrong because he could hear sounds of cheering from across another dune.
"Are the people there?" Ning wondered and walked up there. He could fly, but he didn't want to scare the people since flying wasn't exactly common in this place.
He walked atop the very hot sand as the hot air wafted across his face as they rose up. He was starting to sweat a bit and also desired some water. He brought out a bottle from his inventory to drink it before moving to the top of the dune.
When he finally reached there, he saw a gathering of people, around 100 or so, surrounding a person in the center. From what Ning could tell, the man seemed to be some sort of entertainer as the people were pretty excited to see him do stuff.
Due to his bad vision, Ning couldn't exactly see what he was doing and walked down the dune to take a closer look.
Coming down to the shaded side of the dune, the sands were much cooler here and Ning didn't find it as uncomfortable as before.
Finally, he reached the bottom of the dune and saw the event more clearly.
The people surrounding the man, who seemed to belong to this village, were wearing mostly white garments with very few colors. However, the man at the center of it all was wearing a fashionable blue pant, and a shirt with quite a vibrant black and red color on it.
He had a small body, almost weak looking, with slightly tanned skin. His curly hair fell to his shoulders while the white hat he wore hid most of it.
His eyes were deep muddy brown in color, but there were traces of violet in it from time to time.
"…feated the demon lord, freeing the people of Xandria from the clutches of the demons. Since then, they…"
The entertainer moved his hands and the sand below him started floating in the air, clumping at parts and separating at others to form distinct images.
Ning could see the figure of a man who held a sword in his hand and fought against numerous beasts. The image changed, and Ning could now see the man seating on what looked like a throne.
The images changed once more. This time the man was with a woman and they held a child in their arms.
The images changed, showing the child growing up until he sat on the same throne as the first man did.
"Emperor Kain has since stayed as the emperor of Xandria for the last century and he will continue to stay as one for the next century," the man finished.
"Woooo!" the people shouted in excitement as the man finished his story
The images stopped changing and the sand fell to the ground. The man took a curtsy bow in front of all the people as they showered him with praise.
Ning walked upfront, curious as to who exactly this man was.
