The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

It was a very sudden event as before the dawn comes, the people who had even a bit of sixth sense suddenly felt that their whole body was engulfed by something invisible, some kind of invisible force that can't be explained or seen by naked eyes. Even as some from the supernatural side tried to investigate the cause, it proves to be a fruitless effort as nothing solid was found. But they did find something questionable, scientifically, they find that the whole district was within some kind of magnetic field for but a single moment. 

No one knows how it appeared and the reason why it disappeared afterward, but one thing that they did know was that something had happened on that day, something unknown. Some said it was a warning for an earthquake but after a few days passed of nothing of such happening, it was dismissed. And just like that, the incident was soon forgotten by many but a certain group of people. 

As for the person who had caused such an incident, Sheila was now somewhere in the mountain with Sylvia and Ria by each of her sides. As for the reason why she was here with the two, Sheila wants to show why she told them to do such questionable things back then. Though Ria warned her about the danger of the mountain and told her to chose another location, Sheila just shrugged it off by saying.

"Don't worry, I very well know of the threat within the mountain. But that's precisely why I chose the location since not many would go there unless for those wanting to commit suicide. We will be fine so long as we don't go over the territory occupied by the Earth Dragon. I know of this because I had experienced it myself over the matter as you also know about it."

With such words used for reasoning, Ria ended up nodding her head but though she followed them into the mountain, she had told Sheila to be extra careful and make sure that her detection skill to always be on alert for any danger that might happen just in case. Sheila gives a nod in response as she also understood how powerful the Earth Dragon is and even after all the grinding she had done, her current level is still too low. Even if she had the help of the formation, that won't be enough. 

While the two were waiting at the side, Sheila smiled at them before putting a bit of her mana onto the ring to summon one of the four mythical beasts to her side. There was no chanting and no actual sacrifice required, merely a small amount of mana is enough to summon them as the formation was already activated. 

ROAR!

With a ferocious roar that brought a small tornado around Sheila and chills to the two girls standing not far from her, a white tiger suddenly materializes next to Sheila as the tornado slowly dispersed before it went closer and snuggling like that of a cat. With a smile on her face, while rubbing the head of the White Tiger warmly, Sheila spoke to the two.

"This is the White Tiger of West represents Wind, it was supposedly one of the 'Four Guardians' from the Chinese's Mythological Symbol but, as far as I know, the White Tiger should have been that of Metal element but somehow this one is Wind. And although it looks fierce and the size much bigger than an actual tiger, if one looks closer, isn't it cute? The white fur is also soft to the touch, definitely something I relish."

"..."

How is a tiger that could 'literally' eat you in one gulp, cute? Plus, the frightening aura from it caused their legs to weaken from the fright as the two stood still like a tree while Sheila was happily snuggled with the White Tiger as if not feeling anything from it like the two. Realizing that the two didn't respond to her, Sheila turned toward them with a confused look on her as she tilted her head to the side.

"Why are you two so silent? Come here and give it a pat, it won't bite."

Sheila gestures them with her hands, though they were hesitant at first, the two slowly approach her. As the two get closer toward her, both of them could feel a cool breeze blowing and assaulting them as they progressing closer, and once they arrived three feet away, they feel so comfortable as the warm and cool breeze blowing passed through them. Looking at their relax expression, Sheila noticed the difference around her as she gives a nod before saying.

"Ah right, I didn't notice it before but the wind and air around me Indeed feel much better when I'm this close to it. I didn't know this kind of thing possible."

As if agreeing to her, the White Tiger rubbed its head on her stomach and purr like a cat, in response to that, Sheila squealed with delight at how adorable it action seem to her. Seeing such a scene in front of her, even Ria couldn't help herself but went closer and put her hand over the White Tiger's head only to get surprised at how soft the fur feel to the touch. It almost feels pleasant, she even thought of hugging the white tiger to sleep as it would for sure be wonderful but that might be impossible. With Ria 'safely' patting the huge white tiger, Sylvia also went closer and did the same.

"The fur is very soft and almost pleasant to the touch, right?"

The two nodded their heads in response which caused Sheila to grinned as she was sure the two would be surprised at what she was going to show next. Though she had not seen the power directly, Sheila knows every single skill that the four mythical beasts had when the formation was activated, such information comes along the moment she wore the golden ring on her finger. But simply knowing the skill's name was enough to make anyone feel complacent and, when Sheila told the two to put a distance before commanding the White Tiger to show its skill to them, the result was as expected. 

The pure shock on the two earned a few giggles from her, though deep down even Sheila was surprised at how strong and powerful it is. That was only one of the four, imagine if four of them attacking at once, that would be a fantastic scene to watch because of the pure destruction.
