Primordial Dimensions

[To upgrade the quality of selected beast [Shadow-snake(Umbra)] from its initial quality (Rare) to (Extraordinary) following materials are required.

Tier-2 Mana stone [Darkness] (0/5)

Daylight peony(Common) (0/4)

Blood of a Dragon (0/1 Drop)

[Commence quality upgrade] [Y/N]]

Shane would have almost collapsed to the ground if Umbra hadn't been looking at him with high expectations.

"What bulls**t is that?" Shane mumbled, not being able to control himself.

'How can there be such a vast difference between a [Rare] and [Extraordinary] upgrade? It's not like I want Umbra to evolve directly into a full-fledged Dragon!!!!!' Shane cursed in his mind before he researched the price of a Daylight peony which, he found later, was the cheapest amongst all the other listed items

He found only a few shops on the Primordial Shop human section and furrowed his brows deeply.

Seeing the price for a single Daylight peony with a (common) quality didn't make him happy. On the contrary, it was far worse than his estimation and turned his last ray of hope into a pathway to hell.

[Daylight peony(Common)] only 25 gold coins/each!!100

`F**K this `ONLY`!!`

Looking at the price for small-sized Tier-2 mana stones with a (Trash) quality and a darkness transmutation wasn't helpful either, further ruining his mood.

[Tier-2 Mana stone(Trash) [Darkness]] only 20 gold coins/each.

Fulfilling two out of three requirements to upgrade Umbra's quality from rare to extraordinary was already priced at a minimum of 200 gold coins excluding the 10% transfer fee

These two requirements alone were almost an additional charge of 15 times the initial amount of 15 gold coins that he had paid for Umbra to reach his current rare quality. Now, he had to pay more than 220 gold coins to reach ⅔ of the requirements for Umbra's quality upgrade to extraordinary.

This could already be considered a problem but there was something else that was far more complicated.

'How the hell can I acquire dragon blood with my funds? Even if it's only a single drop...the price is way too high for me to afford… Why does Umbra need a drop of an existence that is at least at the 5th stage… Isn't that too much SYSTEM??' Shane cursed and lamented, but the system didn't reply and he gazed at Umbra with a sour expression.

There was nothing Shane could do about it. Accumulating more than 200 gold for the other two requirements was still feasible and barely acceptable but the dragon-blood drop was not something he would be able to acquire without anyone's help.

Umbra could sense Shane's chaotic feelings and he knew that it was his fault or rather that his quality enhancement was extremely expensive.

Umbra wasn't sure how much something was worth, but he began to slowly understand that they had plucked the Nightshade flowers and risked their lives in order to help him increase his quality.

As such, Umbra knew that Shane wanted to help him become stronger, even if it was for Shane's own good.

Shane gazed at his finances as he noticed that they had increased from 45 gold coins to 51 with a few additional silver.

It seemed like the surplus Nightshade flowers had been sold, which was the only favorable fact Shane found in this whole situation.

Thinking about ways to solve his problem, Shane didn't even care about the 220 gold coins he had to accumulate for the peonies and the transmuted mana stones.

Before he would think about collecting gold coins, he had to find a way to procure dragon blood, otherwise, he would only waste his time.

'The system doesn't think I can obtain dragon blood by myself, right?' Shane thought when he read through the panel with Umbra's quality upgrade requirements on it once again.

'[Blood of a Dragon]...What kind of dragon? A true dragon, western, oriental, flood dragon, halfling or is an earth dragon with an extremely low purity already enough?' He asked himself and his mind rattled in order to search for all kinds of ways to obtain the blood of a dragon when he remembered something.

'What about wyvern and wyrms? If they can be added to the list, maybe I can get the blood of one of these two?' Shane saw a tiny ray of hope but it was still extremely feeble and only barely visible.

However this tiny ray of hope widened, and Shane seemed more inspired than before.

His dad's best friend was a tamer who had a magical staged Wyvern as his tamed beast, hence Shane knew quite a bit about wyverns.

More important than the knowledge of wyverns was his knowledge about the beast rankings and their counterpart, the human rankings.

For the basic dimensions, Wild, Elite, and Awakened stage beasts were allowed while humans at the Mortal, Apprentice, and Expert stage would still be able to enter it.

As for the intermediate dimension, the beast at the Myst, Laer, and Duke stage inhabited them while humans at the Master, Squire, and Ruler stage could enter them without facing too many problems.

But Shane was unsure how it went on with the advanced dimensions. The only thing he knew was that the next human rank was the Exalted stage, while beasts at the Overlord stage began to appear inside advanced dimensions.

Within the intermediate and advanced dimensions, the beasts with a lower rank were always roaming around, while the intermediate only allowed beasts at the Duke stage at most into their dimension, Shane was unsure about the advanced dimensions limit.

Thinking about Wyverns, Shane began to smile lightly because they were more commonly found than dragons and essentially weaker.

If a dragon at the Laer stage with a low bloodline were to fight a Laer staged wyvern, the dragon would win almost every time, except if there was an extreme affinity disadvantage from the dragon's side.

As such hunting wyverns and procuring their blood was much easier and it was extremely cheap compared to the blood of a real dragon.

Besides, it was extremely rare to find dragons at the Laer stage, because they would have an extremely low number of offsprings. It was more common for dragons to appear in the advanced dimension, even though humans hadn't seen many of them upon closer inspection.

Nevertheless, the system considered both of them as dragons, and Shane became even more determined to purchase a drop of wyvern blood with enough funds.

But looking at the price, Shane's mood instantly plummeted once again.

Wyvern blood was considered a [Blessed-1] grade ingredient regardless of its quality. Shane knew it would be expensive, but figuring out the price was more devastating than he had thought.

For a single blood drop of a wyvern with a trash quality, Shane would have to pay more than 1 platinum coin, due to its scarcity compared to other races.

For an ingredient, it was extremely expensive, considering that it was a single drop and only [trash] quality. Shane could only cry in misery.

1 platinum coin was worth 1000 gold coins, but to convert gold coins into platinum coins, one had to activate the conversion function within the system.

This happened naturally once one reached the Master stage by liquefying a drop of mana or by paying the system.

Paying the system was not possible for him, because it was way too expensive, as such Shane would have to pay a much higher price than 1000 gold coins or 1 platinum coin.

Umbra looked at Shane carefully and he could also barely follow his train of thoughts through their connection. He sent Shane a picture of the wyvern, which Shane had imagined when he had thought about his dad's best friend.

"What!?" Shane angrily shouted at Umbra who he felt had distracted him from finding a way out of the misery.

Umbra was taken aback but he still sent the picture of the tamed wyvern to Shane once again.

!!!

"How come I couldn't think of that!!! Umbra you're a genius!!" Shane shouted out as he lifted the shadow snake into the air.

As the snake hissed joyfully, Shane opened the system and searched for an account name, before he wrote a message.
