Primordial Dimensions

It was already long past midnight and Shane doubted that anyone would message him back within the next few hours.

As such, Shane decided to take a look at the basin inside the room in order to wash up that he had hidden from the slightly drunk shelter captain. There had been a possibility of him being pursued, but now that he thought about it he felt that it was highly unlikely.

Shane knew many similar humans like the shelter captain and most of them were losers. They tried to show off with their weak combat prowess because they had stayed longer than necessary at lower dimensions in order to push up their ego.

This was unnecessary and most of such individuals would never reach the position of a shelter captain which began to wonder Shane even more. If he was correct, Uncle Lars, who was in the military, had told him more than enough about their rankings and the common situations in every shelter, what precautions to take and which people to avoid.

Under normal circumstances, such a glaring error of promoting an irresponsible drinker to the position of a shelter captain would be more than reckless.

After Shane sent all the messages, he waited for a few minutes in the hope that someone would see his message. But, he lay down on the bed in disappointment, as not a single notification was issued by the system.

It was exactly as he had predicted and Shane had already changed into a different set of clothes after washing up.

Only now did he finally notice how tired he was, as he decided to sleep for a few hours, before doing anything else.

As he lay on his back, Umbra coiled around his body. Shane decided to take out a few mana crystals from his spatial storage in order to allow Umbra to cultivate in his sleep, which was possible for all kinds of beasts.

Even humans absorbed mana while sleeping, though it was just extremely slow and useless for Shane right now.

He didn't need to absorb mana, but purify it, which was exactly the opposite for Umbra, as he had to gather a vast amount of mana in order to increase his evolution progress rate.

Even if the progression bar would only increase by a marginal amount throughout the night, it would be better than wasting this time.

As such, Shane laid out several small mana crystals around him, without moving them around too much. The mana crystals would start to release mana once they were shattered, which had happened when he had crushed them with his extraordinary quality pickaxe.

Only his spatial ring prevented them from leaking mana. Inside the spatial ring, it was as time ceased to exist.

Looking at the released mana and activating his mana gathering technique, Shane noticed that the mana inside the crystals that he had thrown out was extremely thin. It could most likely be the reason for them to be worth so less than commonly seen mana stones.

Closing his eyes, he barely slept for a few hours, before he was woken up due to Umbra's insatiable hunger transmitted straight to him...

Looking at Umbra with a slightly annoyed expression, Shane noticed that the small snake was helpless against his hunger. The maturing process was still not complete, which surprised both of them.

According to Umbra's quality, he should have matured by now and shouldn't grow in strength anymore. But upon looking closely, Shane noticed that its size was still increasing.

`Is that due to my Innate-Skill's abilities?` Shane began to think and this was most likely the case as he couldn't figure out another reason for it.

Shane thought of purchasing a small spatial ring, or bracelet for Umbra, but then he realized that his tamed beast would lose it and sighed in regret.

`Is there no way to satisfy Umbra's hunger?`...

Feeding Umbra multiple dishes, Shane looked at the system messenger, only to turn relieved and happy at the same time.

Somehow all uncles and aunts had messaged him back not forgetting to lament about his copy-pasted message sent to everyone. They questioned him about his well-being, while Lars, whom Shane had hoped to inquire more about the RadiantRing shelter, merely complained about what he wrote in the message.

It seemed like his family had messaged each other and Lars was supposed to do his job, while the others were supposed to squeeze information out of him.

Not a single one of them had doubted his identity, which made him happy. Shane decided to create a group chat with the 9 of them to make things easier.

It seemed like a few noticed the group chat immediately, as they were either doing business within the system, purchasing something, or reading through the PrimWeb's forum.

Lars was also present and messaged him back almost immediately after he wrote everything he knew about the RadiantRing shelter.

"What the hell are these idiots doing within the Basic-Dimensions?? Can't they even hire a normal shelter captain??.... Sorry, Shane, I'll send someone else to take care of everything. But, it will take a few hours at least. Right now, everything is a bit chaotic due to the advanced dimension we are supposed to enter in order to establish a shelter there.

Even your father is nervous because the dimension is said to be infested with many dreadful existences and high-ranked races, due to the high number of natural resources.

But even so, reinforcement will come soon and help you guys out.

Please try to avoid the shelter captain for now, until the others arrive, okay? I don't want anything to happen to you because your strength is not even remotely comparable to an Expert shelter captain, or am I wrong? Ha...About your escape from John….Let me tell you something in secret...

I'm proud and at the same time disappointed in both you and John. John's way to raise you up was garbage to put it simply, but running away like a spoiled child isn't the way to handle disputes like that.

On the other hand, John would never accept your way of thinking, at least for now...Just keep increasing your strength and do your best to make humanity proud...In the end, John only wants you to keep becoming stronger in order to defend yourself and the ones you love. Please understand that and don't hate your dad or any of us, because we also prevented you from experiencing a normal childhood.

We only want the best for you!"

He never knew that Lars could be that serious and thoughtful. It astonished him, causing Shane to stop eating for a moment.

Understanding why he had to endure such arduous training for years in addition to the teaching was not that difficult for someone who lived his second life. But his father's way to raise him was what caused him mental and physical pain which he simply couldn't forget just like that.

Shane didn't want to continue thinking about his father, which caused him to divert his attention back to the newly established chat group. Everyone was still inquiring about his health, almost as if they were obsessed with him.

Chatting with them for an hour made him feel like he was with them once again. He then closed the messenger as everyone had to focus on their work.

Now, he was curious to know when exactly the reinforcement would arrive in order for them to start gearing up the shelter's defensive mechanism.
