Primordial Dimensions

A full day passed with Shane finishing another season of body refining, as he finally reached the perfect physique of a 4th Mortal stage.

Over the last day, Shane also absorbed and purified his mana, which caused him to use up more tier-1 mana stones than he initially thought.

With 15 tier-1 trash quality mana stones and 6 [Mortal-(extraordinary)] nutrition solutions left, Shane lamented about the scarcity of resources he had.

But even so, Shane's mana purity increased by slightly more than 0.6% to 7.8% with only 0.2% left, before he could break into the 9th Mortal stage.

During the last day, he also took a few glances out of the window, only to notice bloodied guards running around with the military next to him, which surprised Shane a lot.

`Was the shelter already under attack?` Shane asked himself worriedly, as he hurried out of his room, to inquire about the current situation from the Inn-owner.

"It seems like there will be a large-scale battle soon, during the last two days more and more purple furred wolf groups surrounded us, almost as if they want to find out about our numbers and strength. One of the guards told me that the military came because of this and we think that they will initiate their attack soon enough, once they secure the shelter from any kinds of assassinations of other beast races."

Right as Shane was about to turn around because he thought the inn-owner finished, he heard him mumbling

"Weirdly enough, the shelter captain has been forced out of his position and he was even arrested at such a dangerous time...Not like it would make a difference with or without him..."

Hearing the last sentence, Shane smiled lightly thinking that the shelter captain received what he deserved.

Fortunately, he was even detained and Shane didn't have to be careful within the shelter anymore.

As such, he went outside to take a more detailed look at the current situation and Shane sighted many youths and young men inside the common federation's military clothes with its silver constellation emblem on it.

The emblem was nothing special and just a piece of silver with a few planets and stars on it, while the clothes for basic soldiers were made out of peak apprentice cobwebs and weaved together.

Additionally, they received leather armors according to their contribution, and everyone within the military was well protected which was the most important factor for them to choose such a dangerous job, even though it was already well paid.

There was no mandatory service to join the military, but the benefits one could receive there were astronomical because the range of cultivation resources, lifestyle occupations, and so on were vast and more easily to obtain compared to the Primordial Shops.

The prices for most products were cheaper within the military and there was no transfer fee, which was one of the most hated functions the system had.

After obtaining their basic cultivation resource set, the military would give out merits according to their hard work, which was why most young men and women were ambitious to work for the military.

Furthermore, the military nurtured all kinds of brave youths and older folks that dared to fight against beasts head-on, even though it could mean their death.

Because of that, it didn't matter if they were poor or rich as the military rewarded everyone that gave their best for humanity.

This was one feature Shane was proud of, as his family built a structure that supported every human, which he couldn't really remember on earth.

It was not that dangerous on earth, but humanity wasn't united and wouldn't help out each individual due to most humans' ideals that wealth was more important than human lives.

As such, he was extremely proud to live in such a society now and Shane could only nod his head in approval because even his dad did a good job to enforce such an idealistic way in addition to the military rules without discriminating against any type of humans.

Unfortunately, that didn't mean that each human was important to the federation, as terror acts from humans were pursued until the end.

Finding terrorists wouldn't end in any kind of puny punishment, as it would be seen as fortunate if they were beheaded without being tortured to figured out more information.

A single large terrorist act could immediately destroy the unification of humans and his father used unorthodox ways to destroy his enemies without the slighted tinge of hesitation.

The federation was built upon a democracy but the strong reigned above all, which indicated at the end, that the most powerful human would lead humanity, which seemed to be John Stella because he was voted by a large majority.

Even if this annoyed Shane quite often, he had to accept that fact.

Walking around the shelter, he could see all kinds of new high constructions on the shelter walls that were most likely ballistae, towers, or something similar that was about to be constructed.

From what he saw, more than ten additional ballistae were constructed on each wall, while the edges were reinforced as a large tower was built.

With enough archers, ballistae, crossbows, searing hot oil, and other tricks, Shane was confident that it would be extremely difficult for beasts to overwhelm the shelter.

There were still many unpredictable factors, like flying-, underground-, extremely physical enhanced- and spatial elemental beasts.

From their recently acquired knowledge, there were only a few dangerous flying beasts, while the other unpredictable factors had not been sighted yet.

Even so, the defensive measures included all possible factors, as a mana fluctuation long-range radar was installed inside the shelter-hall, which sensed the surrounding within a 100 kilometers range.

This was extremely expensive to operate and only used for cases where the shelter's survival was on the line.

Every detected large beast group and beasts at the awakened stage would cause the radar to immediately notify its operator which was extremely helpful in order to act without any delay.

Seeing how busy the military was, Shane started to wonder how much pressure his uncle or their subordinates put on the basic military force in order to act so fast without delay for a single second.

'Or is this speed normal?' He asked himself, as it seemed somewhat disciplined yet chaotic, confusing Shane quite a bit.

Continuing to walk around, he estimated that a combined beast tide of two large beast races would most likely be useless against the newly constructed defensive measures in addition to the high number of expert stage soldiers with a higher mana purity than most shelter captains had.

As long as everyone worked diligently without slacking off, everything should be fine.

Feeling relieved, he decided to go back to his inn-room where Umbra was still upgrading its quality which would still take more than 30 hours.

Calculating the time required for him to re-refine his physique, Shane was sure, that he could enter the next stage with his perfect physique in the next 30 hours, while it might even be enough time for him to reach an 8% mana purity which would allow him to break into the 9th Mortal stage.

Entering the room, Shane immediately sensed Umbra's well-being in addition to his joy, as he could even feel his tamed beasts becoming stronger with his quality upgrade, even though it had not finished.

Weirdly enough, a certain window he had open almost for the whole day seemed to change with Umbra's evolution going on.

_______________

Possible evolutions [Shadow-snake (Rare/Extraordinary)]

1) [Common] Shadow-python (24.3%/100%)

2) [Uncommon] Darkness-python (3.5%/100%)

3) [Rare] Colossus Darkness-python (0.006%/100%)

4) [Extraordinary] <Locked>

_______________

If he didn't go insane during the last few hours, the whole evolution progression bar seemed to be completely off because Shane was sure that Umbra had already completely filled the first [Common] Shadow-python evolution path that was now less than a quarter filled.

Even though it was not a pleasant sight to see the progression bar decreasing with each moment passing, Shane sensed Umbra's strength increasing at the same time, which was not something to feel frustrated about.

Smiling at the darkness transmuted mana cocoon in front of him, Shane took out a few mana stones, before he turned towards the basin, ready to continue re-refining his physique in order to get to know what real perfection fet like.
