Primordial Dimensions

Shane\'s plan was simple, to find→ [Elemental crystals] crystals infused with compressed transmuted mana.

While normal mana crystals were rare and sought out by many races, elemental crystals were rarer, and weirdly enough, the timing was perfect.

The most recent news from humanity\'s forum informed Shane and all humans that one of the newly occupied Basic primordial dimensions was a mountain range. It was said to have even more resources than the Deep Mountain-river dimension.

Because of that, humans tried to take hold of the ruling position of the mountain range, but the Dimension was too vast. This enabled the inhabitant beasts to use the advantage of their landscapes to prevent humans from invading the mountain range to a certain degree.

Humanity came across a few other races that tried to take over the mountain range as well. But, they maintained cordial relations with each other, without causing large-scale massacres, which was definitely a good outcome.

A rather unknown and quickly deleted thread had posted pictures of crystals found within a cave of the mountain range. These crystals were going to be Shane\'s next target.

But, there was still something that had to be done before.

First, mankind had to take a firm stance on the shelter and enlarge it, before Shane would dare to go there.

He needed at least one secured position somewhere, otherwise, he would be lost in an unknown region which was definitely not something anyone wanted.

Outlining a rough plan, Shane decided that there was more than enough time for him to increase his strength until he wanted to enter the [Radiant mountain ring] dimension, where his targeted ingredient was situated.

Time passed slowly and Shane was focused on noting down publicly known information about all types of elemental crystals, how to harvest them, what details he had to pay attention to. The most important factor in his research would be to have a fair idea of what kind of dangers humans had found around the radiant mountain range until now.

From the name of the dimension, the mountain range seemed to be a gigantic ring, which was a rare phenomenon.

\'The valley within the mountain ring must be gorgeous, not like the shadow-snake valley that was eerie, muddy, and slightly dangerous.\' Shane daydreamed before he focused on his task once again.

It was still night outside and the sun wasn\'t going to rise until the next few hours.

Looking at the timer, Shane noticed that only a few minutes from Umbra\'s quality enhancement were left. He waited in anticipation to find out what changes his tamed beast had undergone.

Even if Umbra didn\'t evolve right now but only received a quality upgrade, Shane was sure that Umbra would look more refined and powerful.

Gazing at the countdown, which slowly approached 0, Shane closed the screen and turned to observe Umbra\'s dark cocoon, when he heard a notification.

[(Umbra\'s) quality has successfully been upgraded from (Uncommon) to (Rare)]

Without wasting any time, the darkness enshrouding him began to dissipate slowly. But, Shane was impatient and opened Umbra\'s status panel to take a look.

_______________________

Name: [Umbra♂]

Race:[Shadow-snake]

Rank: [Low 3rd-Wild stage(Low-Wild)]

Quality: [Rare](+)

<Locked> |Evolution|(+)

Affinity: Lowest Basic-Darkness(Shadow)(+)

Ability: [One with the Darkness(Trash)]

Loyalty: [39%]

_______________________

Umbra\'s rank had increased slightly, but other than that, nothing major had changed except the quality, which was obvious.

His loyalty had increased to 39% which was a joyous factor. But somehow, Shane was still disappointed because he had expected more when he was suddenly bombarded with notifications.

[A new evolution path [Rare] has been discovered.]

[Innate-Skill upgrade (Trash |★★★★★|→Common |★|)] : Enhance the quality of one tamed beast, has been accomplished. Reward: [Cultivation-link] has been added to the host\'s Innate skill\'s abilities.]

[[Cultivation-link] Host\'s Innate skill and Cultivation will be linked to each other. The higher the host\'s cultivation, the more and stronger beasts he can tame.]

[Upgrade-mission Common |★★|<Unlocked>→Increase the loyalty of one of your tamed beast to 50%(39%)]

"WHAT?" Shane shouted, not knowing what was going on, as he was just shocked about the news.

There were four messages in total and out of the four, discovering a new evolution path for Umbra was the easiest for him to understand within a few seconds.

Looking at the first notification, Shane anticipated the new evolution path, even though the |Evolution| section itself was still locked.

Nevertheless, Shane found out that he could look at Umbra\'s evolutions which made him curious as another panel appeared in front of him.

_______________________

Possible evolutions [Shadow-snake (Rare)]

1) [Common] Shadow-python

2) [Uncommon] Darkness-python

3) [Rare] Colossus Darkness-python

4) [Extraordinary] <Locked>

_______________________

Reading through the few possibilities, Shane\'s jaw dropped to the ground.

But this wasn\'t because of the first two evolution paths, as he had already been aware of them. It was the third one that astonished him.

`Colossus Darkness-python??? Just like that?` Shane was more than a little taken aback.

The colossus darkness python he knew was a mid-awakened beast and a terrifying existence within the Basic Primordial dimension. His little cute Umbra would be able to evolve into something like that after he unlocked its evolution function??

Shane couldn\'t believe it and it seemed way too unrealistic that 15 gold coins allowed his beast to be able to evolve into an awakened beast.

Thinking for a bit, Shane understood that if Umbra were to evolve into a colossus darkness-python, that his quality would be degraded to [Trash], causing its strength to be among the weakest colossus darkness python\'s out there. Additionally, he would be unable to evolve until his quality was upgraded once again.

Normally one would not tame a Shadow-snake and increase its quality to such a degree as Shane did. But even if one did, finding out the right ingredients to upgrade it with the same amount of funds he used was almost impossible without the guidance of the Innate Skill he had received.

Nevertheless, everything seemed unreal for him.

A small investment of 15 gold coins gave Umbra the chance to evolve into an awakened beast? With a single evolution at that!!

This seemed just too illogical, but the system wouldn\'t lie to him.

This however meant that his Innate skill [Taming] was more than a little overpowered.

Previously, he thought his taming skill was just like everyone else\'s just with a few additional features.

\'Or were other\'s Innate Skills similarly magnificent??\' He wondered. He was shocked because the possibility of them hiding their most powerful abilities didn\'t sound illogical.

When Shane had unlocked the quality-upgrade function, he hadn\'t thought much about it. But now that he understood the real importance of a beast\'s quality for its evolution, goosebumps covered his whole body.

However, instead of glancing too long at the [Rare] evolution path, what really attracted Shane\'s attention was the <Locked>[Extraordinary] evolution path that seemed to be the highest possible path Umbra could take.

Shane started to wonder what exactly the last evolution could be, as he noticed the second notification in addition to the third one.

His lips curled and Shane could only shout out in joy as a radiant smile plastered his face.

Not only had his Innate skill been upgraded to the [Common] quality, but the reward he received was at least as baffling as the news about Umbra\'s rare evolution.
