Monster Integration

'Forty-sixth,' I thought painfully as I finished the circulation and started on the forty-seventh.

This is the furthest I had reached in my practice, and it is taking my all to continue, but I am doing it. It had been three weeks since I have come to the world and twenty nights since I was practicing and even now; I had not succeeded.

For others, it is significant progress, but for me, it is not. Especially with all the favorable things.

So, I pressed further, screaming in the privacy screen as I circulated further, not caring about the veins on my head popping up or my voice becoming hoarse.

I kept circulating and finally circulated the forty-seventh circulation and moved to the forty-eight. I only need to circulate it and I will succeed. The refinement would be within my reach.

I did not stop and pressed ahead, even when the blood leaked from my eyes and every hole in my body.

I continued and for what seemed like forever; I finished the forty-eighth circulation and moved to the forty-ninth.

As it happened, the change was immediate. The pain increased by a huge degree, as toxins spread into my body, but they were not scattered. They moved in a specific way against every cell and particle of my soul.

The toxins are refining me as burn themselves, and when they are finished, they would come out of my body like impurities.

These impurities are not of the toxins alone, but also the impurities present in my body. Which is a lot, so much that it shocked me.

By my world's standard, I am pure, with no impurities, but by this, even the things I considered pure are impurities. I will have to remove them all. Only then, my body and soul would be pure.

My body is filled with them and if I can remove them. I will be even stronger and this method is the best way I have.

The impurities are coming out as I circulated the forty-ninth circulation. Every second is a challenge here and I just want to stop. It is too much for me, but I could not stop.

I channel the memories of collar and mining. I am a slave, and if I want to get out of here, then I will need to be stronger. This method will strengthen me, as well as purify my body and soul.

For twenty-two minutes, I kept circulating before I could not and stopped.

I am dead tired, but I vaporized impurities and burned the vomiting smell before getting out of my bed gently. Everyone is sleeping under the privacy of their energy barrier, except for Ranya.

She is practicing like me and now, I could understand why she gets out in the middle of the night.

While we could vaporize the impurities and smell. The feeling of uncleanness did not go away, till one clean themselves traditionally.

In these three weeks, her state had improved tremendously. When she had tried to escape the first time, there were only two days she had practiced, but after three weeks, the result was clear.

All the toxins have disappeared from her body, and she is removing the impurities every day while refining her body.

A few minutes later, I returned to my bed, and after a few seconds; I fell asleep. I woke up in the early morning, freshened up, and showered before going to lunch with everyone else.

As I walked out of the house, I looked like everybody else. My skin is becoming duller every day, and the aura is weaker, with acceptance of my condition in my eyes.

Compared to me, Ranya is shining radiantly. She is hiding it, but those with good methods could see it, and I am sure,  the sneaky bastard could also see it too.

As we walked, I could see her looking everywhere. From the position of the guards to the placement of artifacts, if one looks at her long enough, one will easily be able to tell what the girl is trying to do.

She had come from a far safer world than me. Her family controls the whole world and when they break the limit, they would enter the gate and leave the world, as she did.

Like her brother did, for whom she was still waiting.

She did not have experience with such things, and barely experienced any real conflict, other than one in the ruin. I am doing the same, but nobody could spot me, as I am not truly looking.

Since the moment I have come to this ruin; I am recording everything. I know the movement of guards to the placement of artifacts.

I might be able to bypass these things with great luck, but I could not bypass the soul sense. There is an extremely sneaky soul sense that is ever-present. It is very faint, and I had needed a few to notice it.

It noticed everything and remained especially focused on the escapees, like Ranya and others.

It always tracks them.

I know with this soul sense and tight security; it is impossible to escape from above. So, I will try what is impossible for most people, escaping from the down.

I could do it and today, after the tests, I will know for the sure.

Soon, we reached the cafeteria and picked up trays, and loaded it with the most distasteful food I had ever eaten, before sitting on the table.

"I know, I will die in this mine, but before that happens. I truly want to eat something delicious," said Jax as he took a bite of his food. "Is that why you were saving the points?" asked Gack.

"Yes, and I am very close to my target," Jax replied. Hearing that, I sighed internally. While grave expressions appeared on Ranya's face.

These people have accepted their fate and just as nearly all the slaves here. There are extremely few, like Ranya, who are still thinking of escaping and Sart is keeping a tight eye on them.

With his vast soul and the sense that Sovereign level gives him, he could easily catch them when they tried to escape.

Like he caught Ranya.

The way he tracks them, I think it is a game for him. He never comes to mine, just watched them all through his soul sense. The moment anyone tried to escape, he alerts the guards, and punishment was bated on them within minutes.

Soon we finished dinner, and we walked out of the cafeteria.

My eyes unintentionally moved toward the gate, where three bloodied dead bodies were hanging. The punishment for the first escape is a thousand whips, and the second escape is death.

Buzz!

We reached the reporting ground, and a few seconds later. We disappeared and appeared inside the wine and walked out of the formation.

Stone skin woman sneakily moved her soul sense into the body of Ranya. It stayed there for a couple of seconds before moving to me and Karta for a fraction of a second, before leaving.

They did not even discover it scanning them, while to me, it is clear as day.

She is not as sneaky as the soul sense above. I had easily caught her, while my seed was able to fool her.
