Drip Drip Drip! The sweat dripped from my body, but I continued with my practice. It is hard. The hardest. Usually, I practiced one method in the morning and the other two at night, but here, I had practiced all three, one after another. I am at a near breaking point with every cell, and a speck of soul is tired, but I am continuing through the sheer will. I shouldn’t have done it and wanted to go out, but practice provided a steady increase in strength, and also, because I wanted to reinforce the massive increase, I just went. My clone had noticed very tiny unevenness in that increase and wanted me to practice smoothing them up. Even small problems could bring huge trouble in the right conditions. Something I don’t want in a place like this. Thud! Finally, it was over, and I collapsed on the ground. Seeping into unconsciousness before my head hit the ground. I woke up three hours and seven minutes later. Not feeling even a shred of tiredness. I am feeling good. Refreshed, better than I felt after over ten hours of sleep. I smiled and closed my eyes. Appearing in my core a few seconds later. "The methods worked. They had smoothened things. Ten to twelve sessions more, and things will be fully smoothened," stated my clone. I nodded, seeing the data in front of me. After a few minutes, I got out, showered, and ate. Now, it’s time to venture back into the dangerous world. I tapped on the button, and a gate appeared in front of me. I stepped through it without any hesitation. Thud! I appeared outside in the cave. Filled with dense energy that was more powerful than the caves I had been traveling through. It scared me. It was not this energy that scared me. I am more than capable of bearing it despite its power. I am scared of the storm it will form. It won’t be a golden storm. That is the weakest; there are two more. The one above is called Violet-Gold; it is extremely dangerous, and it kills even Peak Primes with laws. There is one above, but it is considered a myth. Very few people had ever experienced it. I do not even think about it. I am not even strong enough to bear the golden storm. Forget those above it. This density means the jump pad had sent me to the deepest parts of the Pakalim Caves and Cavern, the most dangerous parts of it. I looked around before turning to the plants. Yes, there are plants, a lot of it. In the caves I had walked earlier, there were barely a few signs of it. Those areas are frequently visited by the Prime. Barely anything of value remained in there, unlike this place where there are plants, and these plants are of immense value. They have grown up in a high-energy environment. Some of these plants are even capable of bearing the storm. They will be a tremendous help to me. Most importantly, I will be able to exchange them with others. I have a few resources of those kinds. My strings came out, and I harvested. I even took the whole plant and not just resources, though I took a few. Only those I need. I do not want to scourge. These plants are an important part of these caves and looking at signs. Even monsters depend on them; taking all would be heartless. I might have to take things here, but I had to put some seeds. These seeds belong to precious plants. The plans that could grow in this hard. High energy density environment. With that, I walked. The first thing I have to do is find out where I am. I have a general idea, but that place is huge. Massive and not wholly explored. So, I am lost until I find where I am. Soon, I reached the end of the cave and turned into another, where I saw some more plants. I harvested them, but this time, I didn’t leave seeds behind. If I leave them, are every place. People will be easily able to track me. Though they will be able to track me through the harvest of resources, seeds make it a little complicated. Besides, I do not have to spread the seed to every place. Suppose they grew up in this environment. It wouldn’t take them long to spread around the entire cave system through the monsters. I move through the cave after cave, harvesting resources as I come across them. It is making me happy, but also telling me no person had come here. If they had, they wouldn’t have left such precious resources for the taking. The only signs of others I could be of the monsters and I am steering clear of them. At this density of energy, the monsters are very dangerous. So, even if I want to test my powers. I rather be careful of them. My priority is to find others and find out what they have found to make them suspect; I am here. It is the reason I came to this place. I need to know what it is and how they found it. If it could be used to find me, then I will have to be careful of it. The best option would have been to stay where I am, but I am not the one to let the problem fester, especially when it comes to my survival. Minutes passed, and I moved through the caves, harvesting the resources and avoiding the monsters. The soul waves are helping me a lot. Giving me a sense of everything around me. They are not perfect, but combined with my soul sense, they are pretty close to it. Soon, I entered another cavern and saw there was nobody. My strings moved to harvest the resources. Hun! I was doing that when I suddenly stopped and slowly turned my neck toward the small lake. It is why, I had said, it is near perfect, not perfect. As even it could miss some things.
