Monster Integration

could only think about going there if I became Duke and have sufficient power; I will not go there without it.

Going there with my current power would be akin to suicide, which I am in no hurry to commit.

So, even I feel exhausted; I continued digging, thinking of it like training with the entrance as an objective. The new perspective helped a little for a while before tiredness took over again, but even it came, I continued with a single-minded focus on the entrance.

Thud Thud Thud…

Finally, a stone fell with a thud, but this stone did not stop with a single thud. More and more thuds rang out as stone slide down on the stairs; yes, I finally reach the entrance.

It is completely dark on the other side, but I could see the stairs through my vision. With Apex constitution, light and dark did not matter to me; I could see at night as clearly as I see it in a day.

I did not immediately walk down the stairs; instead, I sat down and took a relaxed breath. I am drained mentally and energy; there is barely 1% of energy remained in my storage.

I first want to rest and fill my energy storage fully before I went inside. This was a powerful organization site; even after some traps may still be active, I want to be weak and tired if one such trap sprung into action.

I rested for one and a half hour, recharge my energy fully before I finally got up and walked toward the stair.

Step by step, I walked down, taking every step cautiously before finally stepping into the big hall. The hall is spacious and filled with things that looked fine except for being grey.

Looking at the furniture and small bookshelf, it looked like I was in the living room. With time, the building must have gone down to have a residential area underground because underground spaces do not have big windows.

I looked at the whole living room with a broad smile; I had never expected to find a room in such perfect condition; it is very surprising. This is a living room, a living room with a bookshelf.

Without waiting, I moved toward the bookshelf. It is for knowledge Ive come to this room, and now I see the bookshelf, how I can not feel excited.

Dhub!

After checking for formation and trap, I touched the first book on the bookshelf, and just as I did, something bizarre had happened, the whole bookshelf had collapsed into the dusk, not a single page piece of wood have remained; all of it had turned to dust.

Thud! Dhub Dhub Dhub…

”F.u.c.k! ” I cursed as I stomped my feet in anger; I was very hopeful about the book, but all my hopes have turned to dust, and my stamped had turned some more things into dusk.

The only thing that remained in the hall was dust and pieces of metals and some other stuff that survived the ravage of time and cosmic energy.
