Primordial Dimensions

Shane had never read that an Innate-Skill could have so little information. However, when he gave it a second thought, he knew that the provided information might already be enough for him to conclude some things.

According to the System´s common [Beast ranking], [Low-Wild] beasts were considered the weakest beasts within the Primordial Dimension, followed by Elite beasts, Awakened beasts, Unblemished beasts, and so on.

With this Limit, Shane thought that he could at most tame Low-Wild beasts with the maximum number being one, at least for the moment.

Considering that the Wild-stage was the equivalent to a Mortal stage, Shane could form a contract with a beast equivalent to the 3rd Mortal stage at most.

Even though that was not really much because his physique was relatively stronger, overcoming threats with a companion was always better than fighting alone.

As such, he was still happy about the fact when the mechanical voice spoke inside his head once more, bringing him out of his train of thoughts.

[Host´s time within the System-awakening room is almost used up. 9M:59S remaining.]

[Utilization of 10 gold coins is recommended]

'AH!' Shane suddenly shouted in his mind, because he had already forgotten that the time within the System awakening room was limited.

He had 10 gold coins left, but there were too many things that he wanted to purchase.

Fortunately, Shane had already thought about this before, and there were also many guides online, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of every item to make the first purchase.

But, why should Shane listen to their guides, when he had already made up his mind about his purchase?

10 gold coins were a vast fortune for anyone that entered the Primordial Dimension for the first time, but Shane already knew that it was nothing compared to the fortunes one would have to spend, in order to reach higher ranks without wasting a lot of time.

He commanded the system to open the [Shop], and a catalog consisting of millions of items appeared in front of him on a holographic screen.

There were a few columns, with weapons, armors, potions, food, cultivation manuals, body refining manuals, skill tomes, miscellaneous, and many more items, but Shane ignored them and utilized the search section.

In five minutes flat, he had already used up his whole fortune.

A ring with a small black stone, and two potions suddenly appeared in Shane's hands.

The potions vanished a moment later, and Shane smiled, looking at the ring decorating his finger.

[Spatial Ring:

Grade: Mortal(Gradeless]

Quality: [Common]

Description: Dimension-stone embedded within a ring. Able to store all kinds of inanimate materials, and miscellaneous things within

Storage space: [1 cubic meter]

Price: 8 Gold coins]

The spatial ring that he was wearing right now was one of the most basic items which many cultivators would purchase in the future but for one's first purchase, it was seen as a rather uncommon item, but Shane didn't mind that as he sensed the two Potions within the spatial ring.

Their price was one gold per bottle, and Shane frowned looking at the prices. It was considered more than double the market price, while the spatial ring was even more expensive.

Unfortunately, Shane couldn't take the 10 gold out of the System-awakening room that he had received as a gift for entering the Primordial Dimensions for the first time...

Nevertheless, it was still fine with him, and he left the white room by stepping through the DImension Portal once again.

Crossing the Portal, Shane had to choose his next destination.

He had a rough plan of where he wanted to go, but it was only now that Shane understood how vast the Primordial DImension was, as mankind alone occupied more than 30 Basic-Dimensions with their shelter's, and they were about to expand further.

Apparently, the Primordial Dimensions were divided into four sections:

Basic-, Intermediate-, Advanced- and Main-Dimensions

Humans could decide which sections they wanted to enter, but the biggest problem was to find a way back home as the fees for a single trip were exorbitant for some Dimensions.

But, that was not the most important fact as the existences behind the Advanced and Main Dimensions were terrifying and could kill most humans with the blink of an eye.

Every being below the Master stage was eligible to enter the Basic Dimension but once the threshold to the Master-stage and the equivalent ranks other races had, was broken through, the Basic Dimensions were immediately disqualified for them.

This was probably a function created by the System to prevent strong races from annihilating weaker ones by massacring them with their overwhelming strength.

Because of that function, humanity could flourish inside the Primordial Dimension, as they were innately weak, and were forced to prosper at a slower pace.

Without the presence of exceptionally terrifying existences threatening them, humans had at least the chance to prosper, and fight back.

Shane knew that the Basic-Primordial Dimension would only accommodate beasts from the Wild, Elite, and Awakened stage, while Humans at the Mortal, Apprentice, and Expert stage were eligible to enter it.

Intermediate-Primordial Dimensions would Harbor humans until they reached the 6th Stage of Human cultivation, which was the Ruler stage.

He only knew that, because his dad, the strongest human on Igra, had already surpassed this stage but even he was unaware of his father's true potential and strength.

Shane didn't really worry over that, because it was not his own achievement, rather it was his father's, and showing off with achievements one hadn't accomplished oneself, was embarrassing in his opinion.

After selecting a Basic-Dimension, Shane sensed the surroundings change at a terrifying speed. Instinctively, he closed his eyes, to prevent the sickness from worsening, caused by teleporting through space.

Before he knew what happened, he felt his feet touch the ground and took a deep breath. The air around him was exceptionally fresh, and not even remotely comparable to the polluted air in Igra.

Opening his eyes, Shane noticed that he had appeared in the center of a city that was structured similar to that of the old middle ages era combined with a touch of advanced technology.

Looking around, Shane saw that most buildings were constructed with stones, concrete, sand-lime bricks, and other materials but steel and other similar sturdy materials were noticeably absent

He was aware of the fact that nothing could be brought inside the Primordial Dimension, except items, and materials that existed within the Primordial Dimensions itself.

The only exception to this rule were clothes, as long as they weren't supposed to protect someone from beings at a higher stage than the ones eligible to enter.

As such, one could bring all kinds of clothes within, as long as they didn't provide the wearer an insurmountable advantage.

This was another rule the System established→ The only advantage allowed to be taken inside the Primordial Dimensions was one's innate talent.

Being an interstellar race did not automatically make them stronger within the Primordial Dimensions, even if they could destroy continents or even whole planets with their technological expertise.

This was, once again, an indirect advantage to the human race.

Humanity was less developed in technology and innately weaker compared to other races they met on their journey through the Primordial Dimension, but it seemed as if the System gave weak races, like humanity, the opportunity to change their prescribed fate, which they began to use after comprehending the System slowly.

Shane walked down the stairway leading to the Dimensional Portal and looked around. He saw that not a single citizen was around him which caused him to smile with relief...

Each Race would have its own small territory within which they were allowed to establish a shelter, and with a certain protection period, they had to construct a defensive line in order to prevent beasts from invading the Dimensional Portal designated for humans.

Once other beasts or races were able to occupy the Dimensional Portal of a race, they would be punished by either destroying the connection between the particular Dimension, and their home or the world protection fee would increase according to the Dimension's rank.

Having your shelter conquered meant a severe punishment, but the Dimension Shane chose wasn´t prosperous enough for larger companies to send workers to mine or farm, nor did many humans live here as the surrounding looked eerie and dangerous, while the air smelled oddly fresh.

There were only a few items one could procure here, causing mankind to disregard the thought of abandoning this place.

One of the reasons humanity defended this place was the Soul-Onyx-wood, which caused the popularity of this dimension to increase considerably, even if it was eerie and perilous.

But, Shane didn't enter the dimension for the soul-onyx wood because he had a completely different reason.
