"Ego gem compatibility with holy places? What is this now?" I could not help but ask, unable to understand how an ego gem has comparability with a location.

"Do you remember the first time you entered one with the world state?" Anna asked me a question in return, trying to lead me to the answer.

"Yes, quite vividly. How could someone forget that experience?" I affirmed

"So you should remember the various rules that came to welcome you as you entered the womb of the majestic world. Those rules are the rules with which you have the most affinity. Comprehending those rules will be more efficient and effective compared to other rules.

Unlike you, who has an insanely high synchronization rate. The rest of us have a meager synchronization rate, so we do not have the leisure to comprehend different kinds of rules. We have to stick to comprehending the rules which look at us favorably. Hence the term compatibility.

In the holy places, we can indeed gain access to that particular rule and try to comprehend it, but the speed will not be as fast as comprehending the ones that have compatibility with us. Not to mention the pool of Rule's meanings available to us will also be less. Therefore, instead of wasting time trying to comprehend non-compatible rules, we stick to a few rules which have an excellent favorability with us." Anna seemed to be quite envious that I had a high synchronization rate and had multiple rules to choose from.

"Rule Affinity? Can you spare more words on that?" The first time I heard of the rule affinity was when Cortney mentioned her mutated ego gem. I was really curious about this rule affinity and how to acquire it. And I hoped Anna had answers to both of these questions.

"Rule Affinity is nothing but being dotted by that particular rule. And this is considered a mutation because the ego gem is only meant to act as a bridge for the card apprentice to enter the spiritual plane of the world and make contact with rules. Nothing more, the stronger the bridge, the higher the synchronization rate. So when the ego gem shows an affinity towards a rule, it is seen as a variation hence cla.s.sified as a mutation.

Rule affinity mutation is seen very rarely in ego gems. Many have tried to find the reason behind it to duplicate the results, but were able to do so. And are still stuck at the exploration stage. If you have any thoughts in this field, then all I can say to you is, 'Stop Searching For Shortcuts, You Greedy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!' And try working hard as the rest of us." Anna yelled, saying that I already had enough cheats and should stop searching for more.

"I do not take shortcuts and am not searching for one. I am just exploring the truth to the matter. And if that path happens to lead me to something which would lead to the collective growth and development of humanity, why am I being blamed as greedy doing something praiseworthy? " Only the weak will be afraid of something unrealistic as too much power. If I need the power to live a chill life, n.o.body can stop me from getting that.

"How shameless can you be? You have an origin card with soul energy manipulation ability. b.i.t.c.h, if that ain't a shortcut, then what is?" Anna seems to be getting agitated thinking about how she spent hours training to achieve today's achievement while a boy was breezing through it with zero effort.

"Cus, don't get randy. If we are speaking of cheats, then do not forget you too are one." Luna asked Anna to calm down, pointing out that her cheat-like abilities were the reason behind her reaching her current achievements too.

"You are one to speak. You recently turned 70, and you are already a Card emperor. How is that possible without shortcuts? I do not deny your hard work, but you have to agree that you have arrived at your current achievements faster because of your cheats." Anna reb.u.t.ted Luna, pointing out the same in her.

"Okay, stop it. We all can agree that we have our cheats and shortcuts." As much as I wanted to see two hot girls fight, I still chose to stop Anna and Luna from bickering, which was bound to unravel into a girl fight.

"Agree, Bulls.h.i.+t! You are the biggest cheat here." Anna and Luna exclaimed simultaneously.

"Okay fine." I had no choice but to give in to the two cousins as they seemed unwilling to talk any further without me accepting it.

"Luna, is Rule affinity a dead-end in your university too?" I asked, trying to find if Lina and her university had some noteworthy development and information to start my research in rule affinity.

"You cannot call it a dead-end as there haven't been any significant discoveries in that field… no, it is a dead end. It's about time we should shut down that division. Yeah! My lab department will soon be able to afford the latest soul lens for the SoulScope." Luna did not seem to have any information for me. Instead, she was hatching plans to gain new accessories for her lab.

"Wyatt, it's up to you, but I advise you to stop wasting time on rule affinity and instead comprehend as many rules and meanings as you can because something more interesting lies ahead worth your time, hybrid runes." Anna was concerned that I would waste time on something as meritless as rule affinity. Therefore, she tried to bait me with something more intriguing, hybrid runes.

"Hybrid runes?" I asked in doubt. Asking whether it meant what its name hinted at.

"If it's you, with the synchronization rate of your ego gem, hybrid runes will be your playground. " Anna seemed to be very confident that I would have ma.s.sive achievements in hybrid runes.
