Dran gave a sigh as his body fell onto the stone floor in exhaustion. Dark bags growing under his eyes. "H-Hey system… How long have I been at it?" Dran questioned looking towards the ninety nine pills around himself. 

[…]

"Silent treatment huh? That's fine. I assume its been twenty or maybe forty hours?" Dran said as his eyes tried to force themselves shut before he sat up and gave himself a slap. "Not yet" He mumbled nearly out of steam.

[Why has the User made this many Elixirs? You're at the peak of your realm? What's the point?]

"Ahh? You wouldn't know since it's not something that happens all that much, but the peak isn't the top tier of a realm, and even with the Elixirs I have. Chances are I don't have enough" Dran said with a shrug not allowing himself to close his eyes in fear of the slumber that was calling him.

[The System doesn't understand?]

"Right I'll give an answer then. Although there are ten stage known to mankind right now there's a hidden eleventh stage. The reason nobody knows or speaks about it is because it's rare to access it. That's because to get there a cultivator needs to not only reject their break through, but also consume ridiculous amounts of elixirs to have a chance to open up the path to that stage. Cultivators like to say their defying Heavens will when they break through, but that's not the case. When you deny a break through you're not only defying the heavens but also defying the will of cultivation. Doing that can have repercussions later on, but I'm not worried" Dran said with a shrug as he began to consume a multitude of elixirs.

[You have no shame…]

"I can't afford to care about face or shame. The only thing that matters is the future" Dran explained as he took his cultivation position. "The only thing that matters right now is strength. That's why you should leave" Dran explained to his system.

[We'll talk… Later]

BOOOOM

[WHAT WAS THAT!]

"Ahh system you're back" Dran called swinging his right hand out and clearing out the fog from the room. "I appreciate you being gone for so long, but this young master is tired already" Dran explained laying on the ground.

[Why is there so much fog?]

"Oh? That's from the heat emanating from my body it's what I assume is the outcome of having refined my bones to their current limit and rejecting my break through" Dran explained with a yawn.

[Wait. What realm are you? And what do you mean refining your bones? Refining bones isn't in this world!]

"Ahhh silly system you're a frog in a well. This great creator might not even be able to enlighten you if I had a thousand years" Dran said with a smug tone flicking his right hand. "But since you're lacking in knowledge I'll inform you of what you wish to know, but I expect a reward" Dran said with a fox like grin.

[The System will not be swindled by the User!]

"Fine then just stay in that well. Not like-" Dran began before being cut off by a massive yawn. "Not like it bothers me at all. I'm tired as it is since I've hit the Apex of Body Refinement" Dran admitted letting his tired eyes close. In a single moment falling into a deep sleep.

(Ten hours later)

With a loud yawn Dran finally stirred from his sleep. "Good Morning!' He called out knowing there would be no response. The young man slowly sat up giving his neck a craft before looking at his alerts noticing there was no words, but 99+ missed messages from the System.

"Someone missed me" Dran teased flicking the system alerts away.

[Are you finally away?]

"Ahhh a stalker" Dran teased glancing at the blue screen. "What do you want system" Dran questioned with a rather bored tone. 

[The system has contacted the other System and administrators. It is willing to offer a reward]

"Oh yeah. That'd be nice, but what's the reward for again?" Dran questioned the system having forgotten what he'd even offered the day before.

[The System wishes to know of the Bone Refining method, and the Eleventh Realm]

"Whew rather greedy. I've already given you the info on the Eleventh realm. As for Bone Refinement I should remind you the reason I haven't explained that is because if it fell into the wrong hands I'd have a really hard future" Dran explained with a glare. "So you'd better have something really good for me" Dran said with a smirk.

[The System is willing to offer x100 System Points, x100 Yin Grass, x100 Yang Grass, x1 Dragon Lotus, and x1 Spatial Storage ring]

"You're joking right? I could get all of that with a little time. Giving my trump card away for such a terrible trade. You must think I'm a fool! Get out of my sight" Dran growled swiping his hand aside and clearing the systems alert away.

'The systems offer wasn't bad, but to offer so much in a short amount of time? You can't blame me for assuming you'll increase the profits if I make you wait' Dran thought standing up and heading towards his bathroom for another shower.

(1 Hour later)

[99+ missed Alerts]

"Ignore" Dran called out clearing the messages as he examined his bare body in the mirror. His body sporting an athletic build. Nothing like a body builder, but toned and chiseled to what Dran thought was perfection. He took a bit longer checking himself out before getting dressed and leaving his bathroom heading towards his front yard.

(Outside)

Dran gave a sigh as he ran his right hand through his white locks. The sun high in the sky beating down on his pale white skin. The sound of the bugs chirping and the bird singing met his ears, however the constant pings from the system began to drive him insane. The System had tried to contact him well over a hundred times so far, however Dran wasn't one to give way so easily. He'd instead allow the system to fail to alert him, and instead Dran decided to enjoy the day.

However eventually Dran got curious at what the system might be say, and his hand flicked the previous alerts away as he spoke. "So what do you want?" Dran questioned.

[T-The System has given over a hundred offers! Have you not read them?]

"Nope. I ignored and cleared them. I can't be bothered with offers if you're going to change your mind every minute" Dran explained with a shrug.

[The System… Is willing to negotiate…]

"Oh yeah? You sure you wont go back on your word? Not gonna drop whatever I want on my stomach like last time? Not gonna tell me I'm not allowed to modify the things I want?" Dran questioned with a cold tone. The backed up irritation coming to light.

[The System will try its hardest to assist with the Users Request…]

"Good. Then." Dran said tapping his index finger to his chin as if thinking to himself. He'd already spent the last hour figuring out what he wanted, but was uncertain if the System would give him exactly what he wanted.

"I want, x1000 System Points, x1000 Yin Grass, x1000 Yang Grass, x10 Dragon Lotus, and x10 Spatial Storage rings, A free upgrade to my Array, 100 Player points, and I want the spirit soil upgrade for free" Dran said firmly. His lips crossing into a grin as he awaited the systems response.

[Y-You can't be serious! That's way too much!] 

"System. I would have given a discount if you were kinder, but as I see it. We're more rivals than friends. You have nobody to blame but yourself for this price." Dran explained with a softer tone. "That's my final offer no matter who asks that'll be the price. So go inform whoever you have to about my demands and leave me the hell alone" Dran said with a colder tone. His bright blue eyes burning holes into the screen.

[I'll return with an answer…]

"If they say no don't bother coming back. I've outgrown the need for hand outs already" Dran said with a cocky tone towards the screen.
