The Place Where Everything Begins

In the human camp situated somewhere within the temperate forest full of deciduous trees and countless wildlife...

*Tweet* *Twitter*

*Chirp* *Chirp*

Tweeting and chirping noises resounded out from outside Jeremy's tent, signifying the dusk had already receded, and the dawn finally came replacing as the birds came out to sing the morning hymns.

The darkened sky from earlier started brightening bit by bit as the darkness gradually faded away, observable by one's naked eyes.

According to the timer within the blue Crystal, it appeared that the time right now was around 7 a.m.

Jeremy, who had been sitting cross-legged meditating nonstop ever since last night, suddenly opened his eyes ever slowly.

'This...'

Jeremy blinked several times as he cogitated to himself in shock at his immediate discovery,

'I've been meditating and staying within my sea of consciousness for more than ten hours straight without sleeping, which should be impossible with my current cultivation level, yet I know all too well that I can meditate some more if I want to.'

'Furthermore, the efficiency of my meditation appears to be at least two times greater than before. Such results could only come from my two improved aspects. First, my race has evolved to a higher level, and second, my new overpowering talent, Serenity of Magic.'

'With those two factors combined, my meditation has reached another level entirely...'

It couldn't be helped that Jeremy felt shocked by his meditation results. Even a grand wizard had to drop their head in shame before such a prolonged and efficient meditation Jeremy had done in the past ten hours.

Moreover, Jeremy didn't even feel tired from the lack of sleep or the prolonged meditation at all, as it appeared that he only needed to sleep every two or three days due to his enhanced body and stronger mind from evolving his race.

Even though Jeremy's mind was still not strong enough to last him more than three days without sleeping, his body was something else entirely. He felt like his body was still filled with vigor and hot blood and could last him more than four or five days without the need of sleeping.

'It looks like I only need two or three hours more before my sea of consciousness will be completely healed.'

If it were not for the fact that Jeremy had an appointment with Morgan and the rest at 8 a.m., he would have continued meditating and mending the cracks within his sea of consciousness.

At this time, there was only one hour before the meeting time, so Jeremy decided to stop his meditating session here.

After standing up from the cushion, Jeremy kept it back inside his glove's storage before picking up a set of leather armor lying on the floor beside him. The armor was obviously given to him by Morgan as a welcome gift after Morgan knew that Jeremy only had one combat suit with him.

'I have to take a quick shower, subsequently going to the canteen area to eat breakfast. After that, I have to go to the meeting place...'

Having finished the thought about his following places to visit, Jeremy promptly walked outside the tent.

Currently, many people had just woken up from their sleep as they also came out from their tents one after another. As a result, audible noises started to be heard from all around.

After having looked around him for a brief moment, Jeremy proceeded to the bathroom area without delay...

...

Half an hour later...

More than sixty tables with eight chairs each were arranged in order within the canteen. All of which was capable of hosting more than five hundred people eating simultaneously.

As the time was still early and most people only came into this place individually, the canteen was not yet too crowded with people. Still, the noises of people chatting with one another resounding out sonorously within the makeshift canteen, depicting a picture of the morning's liveliness filled with vitality.

The ones who came to have their breakfast here would have to queue up to receive their trays of the meal, whereas those who had already finished their meals would leave the canteen to do their own things.

At this time, Jeremy was having his breakfast at a table with some other strangers whom he didn't know about.

Not long after, Jeremy gradually finished his meal consisting of meat stew, a big white bread, and a cup of orange juice.

Regarding the white bread and orange juice, they came from the daily summoning generated from the giant Crystal that would be happening soon enough.

'Who did this stew? It's pretty decent...'

Jeremy thought to himself as he felt very satisfied with the food. Despite the lack of spices and ingredients, the meat stew appeared to be somewhat delicious and tasted strong enough to eat without complaint.

Having finished his meal, Jeremy stood up from the chair with a tray of empty dishes before proceeding to return the tray to the dishwashers.

After returning the tray, Jeremy walked to the appointed place where Morgan's scout team would gather up.

'I wonder if some of them will come late. After all, some of those people shouldn't have a wristwatch with them.'

'Well, that doesn't matter...'

'Come to think of it now, when will be the right time for me to strike?'

While walking, Jeremy thought about many things here and there casually.

Not long after, Jeremy finally arrived at the gathering place, which happened to be only tens of meters away from the prohibited areas around the giant Crystal.

Despite Jeremy being approximately fifteen minutes earlier than the appointed time, three people had already arrived before him; two were men, and the last was a woman.

It appeared that the three people were pretty friendly as all of them greeted Jeremy warmly...

"Good morning, mister Samson," said the woman after seeing Jeremy coming towards them.

"Hi, there! How was your night?" said a man who stood beside the other two guys.

The last one nodded his head towards Jeremy with a warm smile.
