System vs Rebirth

"Welcome."

Noel and Rose finally entered the room where the Water Lord experimented. The room was spacious with a few tanks around it.

Some were filled to the brim, some only contained some liquid. The colors of the liquid also varied.

There were some smaller containers, from a gallon to a small tube. On the opposite side of the room, they could see a huge stone table where he experimented with the water.

The Water Lord led them to that table and offered them some seats.

"Please sit down. I'm going to bring some samples first, along with the chalk." The Water Lord immediately walked away, only to return with a chalkboard filled with some drawings and explanations.

It was too complicated for Rose and Noel, so they wondered what the Water Lord wanted to say.

"Before helping me with my experiment, you have to know the basics of what you're working for." The Water Lord put down two small glasses, one filled with water and one filled with a green liquid.

"These two are different liquids, as you can see from their colors. The first one is water and the other one is Herimone Poison extracted from the Herimone Snake.

"When I was young, I traveled to all corners of the kingdom and learned a lot. At one point, I actually came to a certain note, saying that the water is actually formed by something smaller."

The Water Lord raised chalk and said, "Take a look at this chalk. I have 'one' chalk in my hand, right?"

Rose nodded in agreement. Then, the Water Lord scooped a bit of the water and let
