Monster Integration



'Wake up,'

My clone woke me up an hour later and I saw myself in the same place, I had fallen down, past the green line.

I feel good after an hour of sleep.

I got up from my place and walked downstairs. There is a large open space and the bronze door which is closed.

It will open twelve hours; ten minutes after the challenge is finished. It never changes the three-year challenge and three to three years is the same.

I sat down and closed my eyes. A moment later, I am in my core, looking at my meta-scan.

The energy had healed all the small changes in my soul. It also affected the medium-sized ones; the change is small but welcome.

I now know that these changes could be dealt with, which filled my heart with a newfound hope.

The energy did not just that; it had also strengthened and purified my soul.

Increasing my strength.

I looked at all the change carefully, before getting it but didn't open my eyes. Instead, I started to meditate in a half-sleep form.

I could have slept, and I know I am safe, but I don't want to sleep.

There are many powerful people, and I don't want to let my guard down in front of them.

It is an irrational fear, but there are methods and artifacts, that could work even in a sealed place like this.

I could use one weak attack. If I really go all out with preparation; that will be more than enough to kill a person.

An hour passed and I stayed in meditation. A few more minutes passed when suddenly I opened my eyes.

I was expecting to see a person, but I saw a person. There are five of them, two forward and three slightly behind.

The front is a mustached man from golden prime and average average-looking woman, who I had only seen in the hall.

She didn't have any badge or mark to show her organization.

Behind them a two women and one man. The two women are familiar; one is from golden prime out of the continent and one from alkaz.

The man is also without a badge like the woman in front of him.

All five of them looking at me. I have instantly become a competition for them.

"When did you finish the challenge?" asked Fox Beastman without a badge.

"Just a few minutes ago," I replied.

All of them rolled their eyes; nobody believed, I had just passed the challenge just a few minutes ago.

It is easier to see; seeing I am fresh without a hint of tiredness. It's hard to mask such things when one doesn't have access to the energy.

They all sat down one by one and closed their eyes in meditation.

I didn't disturb them and closed my own eyes. Though not before asking my clone to put these people into a different section.

They all are powerful and seeing how unlike me, they didn't collapse immediately speak their power clearly.

However, it is also true, that I had cleared the challenge two hours before them.

Soon, ten hours passed and I kept my eyes in meditation, opening only when a man with horns arrived.

A minute after there was a woman.

It took twelve minutes more before another person arrived and then another two and a half minutes later.

Soon by one people kept coming, the clock rang twelve, when a screen appeared blocking them.

That had yet to come.

They will still be able to attempt the next challenge, as long as they have crossed half of the distance. Though, they wouldn't get the benefit

These were the rules of the three-year and three-century challenge. They might be the same; I will know in the next challenge.

I turned and as I had expected, the bronze door was open now.

I got up and walked toward it, while the fifty-one people watched.

Step!

I entered the gate and stayed in the darkness for a moment, before appearing on the other

side.

As I had expected, there were hundreds of people. Including those who crossed the challenge after me.

They are here with me despite me crossing them the gate first. We all have appeared here together; it might seem like a moment had passed, but over twelve hours had passed.

I listened and another information held.

While I had finished one challenge those without keys had done two. Some of them looked visibly tired; I would be too if I had done two back-to-back challenges without rest.

The other challenge was as hard as the soul challenge. If what I am hearing is right.

I listened while looking at the next challenge.

It's called Ground of Gravity; another familiar challenge, that will target the body.

I waited with seven hundred and thirty-three, till finally the clock hit zero.

"Begin!"

The voice said as the screen disappeared.

The people moved down the stairs, but there was no hurry like the last challenge. People have understood, that rushing is useless.

I walked down the stairs, before crossing the line, immediately, I felt the gravity.

It's not exactly gravity: it is an invisible energy that mimics gravity.

It is why, I had started to circulate the vital method.

Unlike soul methods, I didn't use the vital methods much. There is always an other method or

thing, that will do its job.

Like right now, it is Dance of Ukasanavor.

I am only using it now because the method makes it easier to bear the energy which is as difficult as the soul energy easier.

More difficult, considering my soul was strong and pure. My body is no less strong and pure, but it is more vulnerable.

I push those thoughts and begin walking. Aware of the gazes looking at me.

It is going to be difficult, especially with these people. To them, I am a walking motivation whom they have to surpass.

I can not let that happen. It won't be easy to achieve that, these people are pretty motivated and have the capabilities to beat me.

Though they will have to work really hard to do that. I am not a person that is easily beaten.
