Interruption

Sometime after returning back to his courtyard, Alex came to the realization that he no longer needed to keep doing what he had been doing. He no longer needed to keep making pills once a week and sell them just to get another set of ingredients for another pill to sell and get just a little bit more on top of that.

With the amount he was likely going to be paid throughout the next few years, he could maybe gather enough funds to make some good investments, which he could then turn into some sort of fortune to leave this world and go to the Sky God's Palace.

"That's most certainly going to take a lot more than a fortune I could gather in my current state," Alex thought. "I'll definitely need help from Lady Luck."

He had to get off his butt and do something for luck to show him some favor. 

'I wonder if some secret realm will open around this part of the continent soon,' Alex wondered. 'I wonder what sort of secret realms they even have.'
