Monster Integration



I entered inside, where thirty-some people were already in front of the black steles, trying to solve the runic equations.

I looked around before appearing in front of the stele, in the circle surrounding it.

Buzz!

A moment later, a buzzing sound rang out and a runic equation materialized in white letters.

I picked up the pen and begin to solve it.

The runic equation is not difficult. It is so easy that I could solve it in my sleep. 

I did it in three seconds. If my hand would have moved faster, I wouldn't even have needed that much of the time.

Buzz!

The stele buzzed and with it, the circle. 

A moment after that, darkness appeared in front of me, but it lasted only a moment before I found myself in the same place.

Not the same place. I have changed the place. I have reached the second floor, where there are twenty people here, solving the equation.

Buzz!

The second equation appeared in front of me, and I moved the pen fast to solve it and I did it in three seconds.

It was just as easy as the first.

I disappeared a second later and appeared on the third floor, where I solved the equation in three seconds, once again.

It was slightly different on the fourth floor. I needed five seconds to solve it; not because it was difficult, but because it had a long answered and needed time to write it down.

I finished the fifth challenge in twelve seconds and the sixth one in thirty-two seconds.

The seventh equation took a total of eight minutes, and the eighth one took thirty-three minutes.

The ninth one is where I felt some challenge, but solved it in one hour and twenty-two minutes, before reaching the ten floors, where there is only one person.

The Beastman is concentrated on the formation in front of him; he didn't so much twitch as I appeared.

I looked at him for a moment, before turning to the equation that appeared on the stele. It is the first equation, where I didn't immediately pick up the pen and started to solve it.

Instead, I studied it for more than four minutes before picking up the pen and started solving it.

It is really good, but I am confident that I could solve it.

My runic knowledge is going through a great change since I started learning the ancient runes. 

My understanding deepened, and more ideas started to come to me. The formation, which used to take a day or more for me to solve, I am doing it within hours.

I have missed the treatments in the past few months, but not lessons.

Even when walking through the snowy fields. I attended the lessons. They are the most important, more than even the treatments.

Buzz!

Three hours and two minutes later, I have solved the formation and reached the eleventh floor.

The eleventh floor is unlike any floor below is empty; there is not a single person here.

I need to solve the equation here and I would reach the twelve floors. Where there is an equation that nobody had solved since this place opened this time.

If it had been, the board at the entrance would have been green instead of red.

Means, if I am able to do it. I will get double points for being first.

It is quite hard to believe, nobody is able to do it. This is the place where people of celestial inheritance gather; many of them, especially those of Sky Sovereign levels, should have been capable of that.

I am thinking that, but the top challenges are far more difficult than any other challenges.

Sometimes, they remained unconquered.

I focused on the current equation that appeared in front of me and studied it for more than ten minutes, before starting to solve it.

If I had the aid in my clones, I wouldn't have studied it for so long, but the circle suppresses it all, including the connection with my clones.

I could feel them, but couldn't take their aid.

Which is good; this way, I could test my knowledge. Sometimes, it feels good to do things independently.

Though, I know, the clones are part of me. Still, it feels good.

An hour passed and then another and then another and I am still solving the equation. It is not easy, but I am fully confident that I will be able to do it.

It took another two hours and seventeen minutes before I solved the formation.

Buzz!

The circle buzzed, and a moment later. I appeared on twelve floors, which is different from all the floors.

First is it red in color, second, there are two people here and third, there was no stele in front of me.

I had just thought that when a green stele begins to come out of the ground slowly.

I looked at it before turning my focus on the two people. One of which is looking at me.

She is a beautiful woman with radiant green skin and wooden brown horns and a brown tail with a leaflike green sharp end.

She looked to be in her early thirties and was a Sky Sovereign, just like the yellow dwarf man, who has also turned to me.

"Hell, I am Ramon," I introduced myself. 

"A Sovereign," said Dwarf, instead of introducing himself.

"I am Keva and this uncivilized man, Abrill," said the woman. "Who are you calling uncivilized Keva? When I first saw you. You were living in a forest," said the dwarf man and glared at the woman.

She only glared at the man before turning to me.

"You are a one-talented Sovereign to reach so high," said the woman. 

"Thank you," I said. 

"It is not hard to solve eleven equations, Keva; they are child's play, this the twelve one, is the real challenge," said the yellow dwarf, looking at the red stele in front of him.
