It is so heavy…

Frankly, I don't even know how a pressure like this could exist. I've been to many places in my previous life before but I've encountered anything like this.

Sufficed to say, It's been what? Days? Since I've started this grueling training?

I always thought that I adapt rather quickly to things, specially now that I am mentally a very, very old man, but it seems that I was wrong.

Maybe it's because I'm young again? You know, hormones and hot-headedness and stuff. Yeah…that might be it.

I could hear my joints cracking, it feels like a mountain was pressing me down. But beneath that, there's also a very faint transformation happening.

Creation won't begin unless destruction didn't take place...

It's a well known fact, and one of the main reasons I endure. Thankfully though, this pressure won't stunt my growth, or else I might not be as calm as I am now.

As for the progress...

First and foremost, I never thought that it was possible, but even though I am not making any huge strides in my cultivation (body, spirit or energy), I could still feel that I am being strengthened. It was painful sure, but it's effects were magical. Given that cultivation would be more arduous the higher the realm goes, the speed of which I am progressing is still relatively fast considering the fact that I took it the hard way.

From Fighter Realm, which goal is to strengthen the body so it could handle energies better, to Soldier Realm, it only took me and my friends mere months to achieve it, which is phenomenal on it's own but not too surprising as many people knew that we came from impressive backgrounds, they might've thought that we used unconventional means to raise our cultivations, and some elders might think that we progressed too fast and our foundations out lacking, but the truth was far from that.

And here I am, further deepening my foundations as I go. Things would only get better as I move on I suppose.

Nevertheless, it looks like my time in this Crown Space is up, anytime soon and I would be transported to the real world.

I felt my consciousness darkened, as I opened my eyes once more, I am back to the familiar cavern of mine. It's night time once more, and I better move towards the medicinal pond I made or else I will wake up with bruises and sore body tomorrow.

”Haaah…”

Damn, feels good to stretch my body. I could feel energy coursing through my body in great tides, my body feels tighter and more compact and my spirit vigorous as I stare at the rising sun on the east. I could wrestle 10 bulls in my condition and still have enough energy to run wantonly on the streets.

Anyway, better get dressed. I know that I placed a multi-purpose formation around me but you never know…

Oh, right. The monthly task.

Eh, I already have everything I need though. I guess I should report in to the Expedition Team first to get a better perspective of the mission.

Which way was it again?

Oh right, northwest outside of the institute, landmark would be a tavern that has a sign that says 'Adventurers Tavern', got it.

I gathered my stuff and went outside of my cave dwelling, normally I would train my spiritual energies during this time but I might as well go there to knock this mission down as soon as possible. The longer I stall this the more training time I lose, specially we will be venturing outside, which will be dangerous.

I walked towards the gates and I swear I could feel someone staring at me…

I pushed my spiritual sense and scanned my surroundings, and what do we have here?

A few paces away from me, hidden behind the trees, I saw the son of the fattest merchant ever, trying to kill me with his glare. I mean, he could try harder I guess, but I also think he won't be expecting me finding out that he's there.

Well, yeah sure. I did him dirty.

I mean waking up with white froth in the corners of your mouth and wet pants, isn't really fun for anyone, but it's funny for me!

What could I do? I'm not allowed to ruin him physically or else I would get expelled! So I placed him under an illusion, one that would truly scar him for the rest of his pathetic life. To be totally honest, I would've killed him already if it weren't for the fact that I don't want my low-profile status to be over just yet.

I lost count on how many times, him and his pig of a father placed me and my family in a difficult position. It came to the point where my father was nearly demoted and my mom was forced to work for them, doing their nasty laundry. What's worse is that our former clan helped them in suppressing us in all aspects.

My father lost it during that times, they forced his hand and for the first time, dad acted against his oaths and pushed them to the brink of extinction. Seriously, Dad was so fucking angry at them for doing that to Mom, even the Royal Family decided to turn their head away fearing his wrathful gaze will expose them…
