Chapter 60 Races

Tumonomi Escaer woke up with a growl to his stomach and walked back upstairs, but not before he picked up the book he had purchased just the day before. Not a lot of people were up after he had seen the workers in lab coats and moving about in professional silence. He entered the areas where the rooms for different batches were and saw his food wrapped in a container to which he swiftly ate.

Opening the book as he ate, he began digesting the information.

Brief History: 5,000 years before the discovery of its neighbors and the resulting conflict , the Human Continent was a tough place to grow up in. Between the Tumultuous Borders and the Myriad versions of beings on our land masses, conflict arose on a regular basis. However, after putting out to sea, finding portals and the discovery of the Beast Continent, humanity united and stood against a common enemy.

Today, development, civilization and progress can be seen in each individual nation.

Important Note:

Between each nation's territory is what is known as a Tumultuous Border which requires perseverance and knowledge of intention to cross.

Tumunimi Escaver furrowed his brow at the last part but kept his mind focused on everything he had just read.

After a while, he laughed and headed back up stairs. Annoyingly, he had to wait for a line when he went where he wanted to.

Eventually though, it was his turn.

"I have a request." With his hand on the red button, he was being listened to from the other side. "I need rattan sticks."

"Do you wa-"

"Anything 500 and below will be fine."

"Okay"

He was given a pair of sticks.

"Do you have anything on Werecreature cultivation?"

"We ha-"

"Just the basics, please. I only have 2,000 now but I will come back for a better version later."

Walking downstairs, he had 'Basics Of Werecreature Daily Life' in one pit and Rattan Sticks in the other.

Several hours of reading later, he reached back upstairs and pressed the red button again.

"I need to see Finim Barboach."

"That is not a request."

"Is he with you?"

"No, he isn't."

"Where can I find him?"

"Hold on."

After several minutes, he got a reply.

"He said he will meet you at your place."

Nodding, Tumunomi Escaver went downstairs and was surprised to see the man already there.

"Straight forward? I like your style!"

"What do you want?"

"After you."

Opening the doors wide the man watched Tumunomi Escaver in mock disgust before stepping in.

"What is it?"

"Remember when you really found me to be… Overbearing?"

The man scoffed.

"Yes, now you could have a chance to have fun."

Finim Barboach scrunched his brows and Tumunomi Escacer showed him his Rattan Sticks.

"I'm not into that."

"No, I'm not asking you to kill me."

The man stull looked on edge.

"Or torture me, I am just asking that you help through with my cultivation."

The man visibly relaxed.

Hence, Tumunomi Escaver fell into a routine.

Wake up, hit his physical limits, eat, sleep off, visit his habitats, attempt to open the Breathing Technique Manual, hit his physical limits again, get peppered by the rattan sticks, sleep eat, hit his ohysical limits for the last time then attempt to open the Breathing Technique Manual again.

On and on and on it went on for a month where he was finally able to pry open the Breathing Technique Manual.

Though, once he did he slept from the entire. But he made sure to sleep with one leg on its open first page keeping it that way until he woke up.

That morning, on opening the book, the first thing he felt was a sharp pain on every part of his body that was holding on to the book when he rushed for it after waking up, in excitement.

"YOW!"
