When I opened my eyes, it was six in the morning. I had slept for nearly five hours.
I wasn't tired before sleeping, but I asked my clone not to waste me if I slept past four hours as I might not be able to sleep without worrying for some time.
I stayed in the bed for a few minutes, thinking about today, which is the most important day.
I could very well die.
In the evening, the gates would open, and I would be pulled into the real world like the rest of the people.
If I found out, I would die a horrible death. If I didn't, then I would have to live a careful life until I could get out of this world.
These are not the ideal choices, but they are the only ones I have.
I sighed and walked out of bed. Freshen freshened up before stepping out of my room. I checked the security of the abode before walking into the kitchen.
Here, I am safe. People could snoop around, but there is a limit.
One being. If the defenses are sufficiently powerful. Then, there is no soul sense. Even the one powered by the sneakiest law wouldn't be able to sneak through.
To be careful. I had a secondary formation activated. This one is designed by me.
There is currently another being forged inside my core. It will be ready in a few days. It is not for here but for the outside.
There, I would need to be extremely careful.
I took out the stuff and began cooking myself a delicious breakfast.
Forty-five minutes later, it was finished, and I ate it alone.
I washed the dishes before stepping out into the compound, where people were everywhere, powerful people.
I talked to a few as I stopped around.
They have kept the best thing for the last. It is quite a regret; I couldn't buy all the stuff I need.
I do not have enough resources to barter with them.
Soon, I finished shopping but didn't walk back into my abode.
Instead, I sat beside a familiar person who was staring at a familiar runic equation in front of
"Need any help?" I asked Kamarys.
She is staring at the formation of the rune place. The one in the center. She was one of the five primes who had solved it in time.
Though, looking at her notes. She is trying to solve it through different methods, and I have to say, it is interesting.
"No," she replied before turning to me.
"So, you are a master?" she asked. To which I smiled before shaking my head.
"No, I am in Advanced Grade and had just dived into the Master Grade when this happened," I replied, looking into runes swimming on my body.
"How long that was ago?" she asked, and to that, I smiled.
"Some questions you answer so bluntly, but with others, you just smile. It is kind of irritating, you know," she said, and once again, I smiled.
"Why aren't you there?" I asked, looking at the exit, where Carter and others had lined up like before.
They are scanning and collecting the blood and other samples from the Sky Sovereigns and Prime, who are going out and coming in.
They already did that before the small realm opened and are doing that again.
"Vazabin in there," she replied, mentioning other Prime from her organization. Follow current novels on novel{f}ire.net
"Why aren't you? Despite your big talk, you are interested in forbidden power. I could see it in your eyes," she asked.
"I am, but what use it would be? Even if I found him, I can't keep him. I might have, but with these things on me, I am no match for you guys," I replied.
This time, it's hero time to smile.
"True. Even I don't have confidence in keeping him," she added.
She is one of the few people who could keep me if they find me. She looked beautiful and delicate, but she was one of the most powerful here.
She had killed a Peak Prime before and not a regular Peak Prime, but the one who had comprehended the laws.
I didn't say anything and quietly watched her work. She is good, quite good.
I watched her for a while before taking out a paper and started writing down. Over a minute
later, I finished and folded the paper before sliding toward her.
"If you got stuck, don't hesitate to use it," I said as I got up. She didn't reply, just glared.
I smiled back before walking toward my abode.
Soon, I stepped inside and simply lay on the couch before closing my eyes.
A moment later, I was at the door of the library and entered inside.
The first thing I did was check the progress of the inheritance before instructing my clones.
Half an hour later, I walked away and sat down on the mat before closing my eyes.
A few seconds later, the vastness of swallowing appeared in front of me. It is vast, and it wants to swallow it all.
The law is powerful, and I got immersed in it.
I had only come to myself because my head began to hurt.
I meditated until the pain disappeared before raising my hand forward and begin drawing.
A few seconds later, I pulled my hand back and looked at the rune. It is the ninth rune I have created since my breakthrough.
I am getting back my groove of comprehension. In the past five sessions, I have created the rune in each.
I admired it for a few seconds before putting it in my collection and getting up. I didn't leave. Instead, I walked to my worktable.
There is a work waiting for me. It is complex but interesting.
I am working on designing a breakthrough formation. This time, the lotus helped, but next time, I will need my own breakthrough formation.
Thankfully, I have time.
Hours passed as I worked on it when I suddenly stopped with surprise appearing on my face, which a moment later became a big smile.
