3887 Abode

"Thank you," I said to the guard as I took back the medallion before walking out of the city gate.

Usually, they don't check the document when people are leaving the city, but they do sometimes randomly and today, I was randomly selected.

At least, that is what I think.

I didn't dare to bring my soul to sense out of my immediate range. I would have preferred to not bring it out at all, seeing the soul sense of Prime is covering the Habresal, but it would look strange.

I am not on the ship anymore.

It is the fact that excited me strangely; the route is safe, there are rarely do any incidents occur, but as I move toward to the forest, I feel excited.

It is likely because it if first time, in one half and a half year, my feet had touched the island. There were plenty of islands, but they could never be compared to the continent.

Here, I am free. On the island, I always needed to return to the ship.

I walked for a few minutes before taking in the air. I am in Sky Sovereign now. I could fly without fearing for my safety. I only walked because I wanted to feel the ground with my feet.

It will take me three to four days to reach my destination, and the journey should be pretty safe.

The two Prime organizations have cordial relations and route between them patrolled regularly with the powerhouses from both sides; even the prime patron now and then sees how important the city is.

For the city to be a continental hub, it needs to have safe routes and they are doing a pretty good job at that.

I was thinking about it when I noticed the Sky Sovereign moving stealthily. He belongs to the city, given his uniform. He is clearly patrolling.

I acted like, I didn't notice and kept moving.

I need to reach the Siber as soon as possible, so I can contact the organization. I could do it here, but getting caught would make me spend months at least in the organization, before tor bring me out.

I rather not take risks and contact the organization from a place that is safe and legal.

Hours passed, and I was crossing huge distances every hour while watching the surrounding scenery. There is not much to see, aside from the forest, which is safe, even for the Primary.

They do not have any monsters roaming around the area. If they spot it, it gets killed immediately.

Which is kind of bugging to see. I was hoping to find the strong monster. There is one place on the way, where I might find them, and I hope it won't take too much time.

Soon it was evening, but I didn't stop. I continued, till it was ten and a half, before finally stopping.

Thud!

I landed on the ground. It is secluded, but it didn't matter to me with my upgraded abode. As long as no one saw me, entering the abode; it was fine.

Seeing, I am not in range of anyone's soul sense. I brought out the abode; it is still in the shape of a pearl, but now it is dark red.

I looked at it before releasing it from my hand. It fell down and the gate as appeared as it had had before. I stepped inside without hesitation.

As I did, the pearl began to change shape and turned into a grain of pebble. In the last version, I wasn't able to shrink the size of the above smaller than the pebble, but now it is the size of its grain.

It is not because of me and my design, but also the magnificent thing, I had found in my journey.

Step!

I stepped inside the abode, which is now four times larger. The house remained the same, I didn't change it even one bit, but I made the lake bigger.

I looked at the lake before walking over the bridge.

I like lakes, the one earlier was very small. This one was more than three times bigger and looked like a real lake.

I stepped into the house and went to the bathroom to freshen up, before coming to the porch. The dinner appeared in front of me, cooked by my clone; I ate it before lying down on the chair.

I didn't do anything, just sat there.

Ten minutes later, I raised my hand and tapped on the air. A moment later, a cube materialized in front of me.

The orex cube.

I am using it in my abode. It is the reason; I could shrink it further. Though it is not the only thing it is doing. It is also strengthening the space, which is as strong as the space in a prime abode.

Now, I also didn't have to be worried about being battle-fought right above my abode or being tossed for miles.

I can now be safe in my abode without any worries.

There is also a function of stealth. The cube didn't help with stealth, but it kept spatial energies contained so that not even the slightest could leak out.

Sky Sovereigns could forget to find my abode. Even Primes would have a problem if they were looking from a distance.

Which made me relieved. I have a way to hide from the Primes; it is not a perfect way; there is a good chance, they would find it if they looked really hard, but it gave me a chance.

I looked at the cube and admired it.

I am progressing in artifice, but I am far away from being able to forge it. I barely started to comprehend the process by which it was made.

A few minutes later, I tapped on the air again and the cube disappeared, while I closed my eyes.

A moment later, I entered my core and stepped into the library. There I started working on the problem, the teacher had given me in the morning. I have to finish it and work on inheritance before I sleep.

It is too much work, that five times time dilation, I have seemed not enough.
