3101 Decision
Four days had passed since my breakthrough, and I was searching for the road to take. It is turning out much harder than I had thought.
This is the last day; I have given myself to think about. I will choose a place to go today, or I will choose it randomly, but tomorrow will be the day I will leave for it.
“Adventurers Palace,” I said to the handler. “One ro-crystal,” he said. I handed him the crystal and immediately, the artifact activated, and I stepped inside.
A moment later, I appeared in front of a huge adventurer’s palace. It is a ten-story tall, large building, one of the seven in the city.
A few seconds later, I stepped inside it and saw thousands of people sitting inside, with information about jobs projected in the air and across various tables.
I looked around before walking to the fourth floor. The first to the third floor is for Primary-I. Floors third to sixth are four Primary-II, and the floors above that are for Primary-III.
The top floor is for the sovereigns, but very few sovereigns prefer this branch. All sovereigns prefer the main branch of the city.
I reached the fourth floor, and it is considerably nicer than the first three floors and all of them are Primary II.
I wanted to go to Primary III, but since I had registered as Primary II, I will have to remain on these three floors. Or I will need to earn enough cred, to get my batch promoted. That will give me a chance to go to the Primary-III floors.
I picked up an empty single chair and sat down, looking at all the missions.
There are many missions, from protection missions to exploration missions. I was hedging toward the exploration.
Some of them were extremely dangerous, and many Primary-III that had gone there hadn’t returned. I had selected a couple of them and if I did not find anything more interesting. Then I am going to choose from one of them.
Hun!
I looked at all the notices when suddenly everything turned red.
“Attention all members. The gates of Silverinth had opened. Attention all mem….” The voice begins to repeat and again.
I turned around the hall and saw the expression on every person sitting there had changed. Excitement to fear had clouded their eyes, mostly excitement. Many of them connected to their adventure palace batches immediately, including me.
While connecting, I asked clone two to find all the information it could about Silverinth from the information I had brought from the palace.
While I looked at a complete notice on the badge.
The Silverinths gates had been opened after one thousand and seven hundred years. As for what Silverinth is, it is a powerful organization that used to exist hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Whenever its gates open, people rushed in there.
It changes people’s lives but also kills a lot of people. Which is not surprising given how dangerous this place is.
It hadn’t been a minute since they announced it, and over fifty-thousand people had already applied to go. I thought for a moment before applying, and by that time, the numbers have reached over a hundred thousand.
Millions of people are going to enter, but given the size of Silverinth and the fortune found here, it is normal.
The place is more dangerous than I planned to go, but since I had applied, I will go, and I have only six hours to prepare.
It took me a few minutes to get to my house since everybody was leaving to prepare. I had to wait a little before the teleportation formation took me to my destination.
Click!
I closed the door behind me and sat down on the couch. I have everything; I need to go there, but I checked it once, while my clones study the new information about the Silverinth that I had just brought, including the map.
Looking at the map, it is clear that the place is vast. Even if a million people entered, it would still be quite sparse.
I studied information with my clones, focusing most on the dangers and fortune. There are two most important things one should focus on exploration.
Two hours passed, and it was evening. I got up and freshened up before returning to the kitchen and started cooking. I am going to have an early dinner.
I cooked the simple meal, which is finished within forty minutes, which I ate with Nero since Ashlyn is sleeping again. I rested for half an hour before removing my clothes and sitting cross-legged in the center of the room.
Buzz!
A second later, the formation activated and a very faint stream of P2 daros crystal toxin came into my body and I begin the circulation.
Since I broke through into the Mid-level of Primary II, I started using the higher-level toxin. Which is far more dangerous than P1 daros toxin, even after I processed it for greater efficiency.
I only use a faint stream of it, and even it is dangerous. Though, the benefits it is providing me are far too great.
In just four days, it had strengthened quite a lot and went deeper into the cleansing. If I continued to practice, then I wouldn’t take many years to make the next breakthrough.
These benefits came with their own side effects, as the method had flaws. Thankfully, I am capable enough to create the solutions to offset those flaws.
Time passed, and I had done one circulation after another, before finally reaching the forty-ninth circulation, where the real challenge had finally begun.
The pain had increased exponentially, and so was the difficulty of pushing the energy. I am doing everything I could, as stopping mid-way would have a huge consequence. That, I do not want.
So, I kept pushing and finally finished the circulation before starting again.
As I circulate the energy, the toxins refine my body and soul, while pulling out the impurities of my body. The amount of impurities is not decreasing, even after four days, likely because I am increasing the amount of toxins I circulate inside me.
I circulated for little more than half an hour before I stopped and laid down while burning the foul impurities covering me.

The smell is too horrible to bear. Even after burning the impurities, some of it had remained. That I had to stand up despite being tired and walked into the bathroom.
There I used a specially created bath solution to scrub my body of all the smell, before coming out feeling refreshed.
When I did, all the smell in the room had vanished.
I changed into new clothes and lay down on the bed and within a few minutes; I fell asleep. I needed to be completely rested, as who knows when I will have time to rest?
I had slept for two hours before I woke up and once again checked my preparations for the mission.
Soon, it was time, and I walked out of the house and checked out in out in the office. I am leaving the house, as the mission might take a month or more and I will not keep paying for that long.
It is quite expensive.
