Primordial Dimensions

It was still afternoon, but Shane decided to take a look outside because he wanted to figure out how the current situation with the Military went.

There was not much he could see from his window, but it was obvious that more guards could be seen, while some of them even rushed towards the central area.

Shane believed that the military already arrived, at least to a small degree and that they took the lead from the shelter.

According to Uncle Lars, they would let the shelter captain step back `voluntarily`, which was comparable to getting thrown out according to Shane's understanding of his Uncle's words.

As such, Shane thought that everything would either work out or that the shelter captain would link him together with the military's sudden appearance, which might cause him a slight disadvantage.

Either the former captain would be free to go on his own which would probably lead him to search Shane, trying to soothe his anger, or the military would take him into custody due to neglecting his duties, being drunk during duty, and disregarding a possible shelter-annihilating threat which could lead to thousands of deaths and the loss of a shelter.

Either reason was enough to severely punish the shelter captain, but the latter reason was the most dangerous one, as it would not only destroy a shelter but also cause the price for a world-protection extension to soar higher, as an additional Dimension portal would be occupied by a foreign race, increasing the paths towards Igra.

This would be the most terrifying because even a slight increase of the world-protection extension price would already throw mankind into an economic problem.

With the system's existence, it was extremely difficult to take care of taxes, as nobody could supervise transactions, accumulated wealth, and how much one earned within a month.

As such, everything within the shelters had to have taxes, which included the inns, restaurants, markets, and so on, while humans purchasing plots to construct such buildings were also expensive.

Only like this, humanity could barely afford the world-protection extension every month or rather a year, as it gave a small discount.

If a single shelter was annihilated and the Dimension Portal occupied, it would be devastating for humanity as everything would end up chaotic.

However, such cases happened a few times already and there were always individuals that had to add their private funds in order to secure humanity, which was initially not planned.

These individuals were mostly his father, uncles, and aunts which made Shane proud.

In the end, it was obvious because his family was the strongest individuals on Igra, Shane knew.

Furthermore, it was useless for someone at the basic- or intermediate dimensions to pay up for something like that, because his father and friends would have to hunt a single time together in order to earn the same amount within half an hour, others accumulated in a day.

Disregarding this thought, Shane didn't want to think about the possibility that the RadiantRing shelter could be annihilated and destroyed.

With the arrival of the military, he also didn't doubt that everything would be taken care of sooner or later.

The only thing Shane had to pay attention to was if the military decided to take offensive measures or act defensive for the time being.

With this in mind, he estimated that it would end in a defensive act until the scouts found out everything necessary, as it was more than illogical that the purple furred wolf race fought each other or against small tribes in order to sustain serious injuries like Shane showed Uncle Lars.

As such, three or more days would most likely be enough to make their own research while acting defensive before they would start making offensive plans in order to provide enough protection to the shelter while annihilating the shelter's threat.

Shane only hoped that the scouts would either not find the elemental crystal cave he was inside before or that they wouldn't mind it, labeling it as an extremely small habitat of scaled lizards, if they were still the sovereigns of the elemental cave which Shane wasn't sure about.

Umbra was still evolving with more than 60 hours left on the countdown when Shane decided to try out his newly acquired perfect [Mythic] body refining technique

Asking the inn owner for a basin with warm water, he paid a few bronze coins for it, before he took out a [Mortal-(rare)] nutrition solution from his spatial ring, with two tier-1 trash mana stones.

Thinking they might be enough in addition to the rare nutrition solution, Shane placed the mana stones to the left and the right of the basin, before he dissolved the nutrition solution within the warm water.

Diving into the water, Shane almost immediately sensed the difference between uncommon and rare quality nutrition solutions, as his pores opened without him doing anything at all.

Releasing a thread from the mana stones, the mana within was released.

Taking a few deep breathers, Shane was expectant to figure out how much of a difference a [Mythic] body refining technique would be, compared to his lower quality one.

Within the high nutrition water, he began exerting the perfect body refining technique only to notice that his whole body began to ache painfully, as the surrounding mana and nutrition within the water were drawn to him like he was a black hole.

Pondering for a moment, if he should take out multiple more mana stones and a nutrition solution, Shane disregarded this thought, as he had to find out how useful his current resources were in order to adjust everything in the following season.

Time passed slowly and his whole body ached the whole time, as the two tier-1 mana stones in addition to the [Mortal-(Rare)] nutrition solution seemed to be already used up after a single hour.

This caused him to frown deeply, as he took out four tier-1 trash quality mana stones with his remaining four uncommon mortal stage mana stones, Shane placed around the basin.

Pouring two rare nutrition solutions into the lukewarm water, he immediately sensed his whole body slowly filled with nutrition, while the mana in his surrounding floated towards him as if he was an old acquaintance.

Overwhelmed by the sudden injected mana and nutrition, Shane tried to regain his senses in order to exert his [Mythic] body refining technique.

Three more hours passed when the last mana particles were absorbed, as he opened his eyes that shone in vigorously.

Due to his curiosity, Shane opened his status without further ado, as he noticed something astonishing.
