Shane was pacing in his room restlessly due to the bloodlust that he had felt before.
His thoughts were too clouded which prevented him from cultivating, even if he had more than enough mana stones as a supply.
Not knowing what to do until Umbra finished his quality upgrade that was only a few hours away, he decided to enter the PrimWeb in order to read through a few threads from the human race.
But it was rather disappointing as the most interesting things had happened within the RadiantRing shelter, while news about the advanced dimension his father had most likely already entered was hidden from the public.
This was only because the government didn't want some hostile humans to read through these threads and pass it to their allies. Making everything public was comparable to shooting in one's own foot.
It was both disadvantageous and avoidable.
Because of the scarcity of interesting threads within the human section, Shane thought of switching to other races, humanity had connections with.
He wished to figure out if he could earn more money in any way, as he remembered the elemental crystal cave.
Shane knew that it wouldn't be long until the elemental crystal caves would be noticed. Once the imminent threat from the nearby wolf packs and scaled lizard groups was nullified, humans would flood to the cave and the possibility made him sigh deeply.
Even if he would rather take everything for himself, the shelter's survival was much more important. He obviously rated his life above his greed for more wealth.
One had to be alive to use money!!
Thinking about this, Shane remembered something he hadn't thought about since he had entered the Shelter.
It was almost as important as increasing his combat prowess, obtaining skills, upgrading Umbra's quality, and everything comparable.
His knowledge was vast due to his uncles and aunts who had tormented him with all kinds of stories. They had left him with no need to read or purchase even a single book from the system.
The system had its own library with all kinds of books, covering every possible topic. Though Shane wasn't even sure how vast it was, as he had never accessed it.
According to his family, even his aunt Kia, who was the most knowledgeable person he knew, was shocked about the sheer number of books with the vast information contained within.
If his mind didn't wasn't playing any tricks, aunt Kia had asked him to purchase a few foundational books about everything, as the most basic knowledge was the groundwork he would have to expand later.
If the foundation was weak and full of cracks, even the strongest and sturdiest building would crumble down.
As such, Shane decided to purchase the most basic books from the system's library section for 30 gold coins in total.
Suddenly, with a metallic noise, a new section appeared within his system called [Library]. All the books he had purchased had been transferred inside it.
[Library: Primordial Dimensions I] was the first book he could see, as he decided to open it.
In the beginning, Shane only began to read the first book within the library because he was bored. However, this boredom changed into curiosity and evolved into interest, as he sat up straight with a bright expression.
"Huh?? It was like that?....Woah!" There were too many things Shane hadn't known earlier. Only now did he understand how shallow his knowledge had been, even though he thought it was already vast and incomparable with his peers.
This might have been true before he had awakened the system, but after this phenomenon had occurred, Shane wasn't so sure about it anymore.
With his newly acquired interest, he continued to read for hours, completely immersing himself in the information provided by the books. It was only when he felt something coil around him, that he noticed his surroundings again.
Noticing Umbra, coiling himself around his waist, Shane smiled brightly, as their shared emotion amplified each other's happiness.
[[Shadow Snake(Umbra)] finished its quality-upgrade to the [extraordinary] quality successfully! Congratulations!]
[New evolution-path has been <Unlocked>]
Smiling at the two notifications, Shane felt overjoyed. He noticed that Umbra's black scales shimmered more brightly, while his piercing gaze seemed to be more threatening.
His length had now increased to more than 1.5 meters causing a headache to him, as he had to take the little glutton with him everywhere.
Based on the strength Umbra had used to coil around him, Shane knew that the quality-upgrade was not the only change, as he opened the status panel.

_______________________
In the beginning, he was confused and then happy to see Umbra reach such a high loyalty.
However what confused Shane, was the new [Limit breaker] statistic, which he had never seen before.
Thinking about it, a rough cluster of information popped up in front of him.
[Limit breaker] Every individual with this effect, has broken through its racial limit.
Strengthening +10%, Mana circulation +10% , Mana consumption -10% , Intelligence +10%
`Huh?` Shane was shocked to read that and he couldn't understand what exactly Umbra did to break through its racial limit…
`The racial limit of a Shadow-snake can't be at the rare quality, because there was an [extraordinary] evolution path for it… Is it because of the rank it reached? Is it impossible for Shadow-snakes to reach the 6th Wild rank under normal circumstances?
But more shocking was that Umbra had received it as a title. This meant that beasts could obtain titles like humans and other intelligent races did.
Even after raking his mind for a long time, Shane could only estimate that Umbra had broken through its limit due to his innate skill which gave every tamed beast a quality enhancement.
`Wouldn't that mean there can't be a Shadow-snake with a [Legendary] quality?` he asked in his mind. He accessed the Upgrade function, only to see a grayed shadow-snake that resembled Umbra.
`Is Umbra the most powerful Shadow-snake then? An extraordinary quality Shadow-snake with a quality enhancement due to my innate skill…`
Shane suddenly laughed out aloud because the limit breaker effects were truly great and extremely beneficial for both him and Umbra.
Seeing him acting so happy, Umbra also felt overjoyed as it used the short moment their gaze had met to transmit his hunger to Shane.
Somehow both were already accustomed to this scenario as Shane took out dozens of dishes which Umbra ate within a few minutes.
Meanwhile, he continued with his train of thoughts, asking in his mind if it was possible for every beast of his to receive the [Limit Breaker] title.
Would it suffice if he increased their quality to the highest possible in addition to his innate skill's quality enhancement which every tamed beast of his would receive passively?
With this thought, Shane smiled brightly, as he decided to take a look at Umbra's new unlocked evolution path.
