First, Adyr checked the shop for materials to expand the stone basin inside the artificial cave. It only needed sand and gravel with a high mineral concentration, most of which he had already brought back from the other world. The only extra tools he ordered were a few sturdy shovels to make it easier to deepen and widen the basin so the Cragfin Sentinels would have more space to swim.
Next, he focused on preparing a habitat for the Emberdart Minnows. These Sparks thrived in intense heat and fed on active flas, which didn’t match the Twilight Land’s cool, calm atmosphere. But Adyr already had a plan, and the player shop offered exactly what he needed.
"I didn’t think I’d actually find one of these," Adyr laughed as he stared at the screen.
It was a massive crematorium—a large industrial furnace designed for incinerating bodies. He hadn’t expected the governnt shop to stock one of these, and once again, its vast inventory left him impressed.
The crematorium was ideal. Adyr’s plan was to bury it in one of his islands and build a natural-looking underground cave for the fire lizards inside it. Powered by gas, it was also extrely easy to maintain. The shop even supplied the fuel canisters. Without hesitating, he purchased the crematorium and all other things at a 50% discount for 125 rit and got to work.
First, he descended to the logistics floor to pick up all the materials. Back in his room, he stepped into his Sanctuary and began.
He started with the simple task: he dug deeper into the artificial cave’s stone basin, widening it carefully with a shovel until it had enough surface area. Then he scattered mineral-rich rocks and soil across the bottom. By the ti he was done, the basin was broad and deep enough for the Cragfin Sentinels to drift comfortably.
While Adyr worked, Duskrend hung from the ceiling overhead, its dark crystal wings slightly unfurled as it watched him with quiet interest.
When that was finished, his energy body glided toward another part of the Sanctuary. Across the clearing where his roosters road and crowed endlessly, he reached the empty far corner of the island. Here, he began to dig.
He dug a pit deep enough to fit the crematorium entirely underground. After lowering the heavy, tal furnace into the hole, he layered heat-resistant stones inside and scattered special sands designed to lt slowly into glowing channels. This would create a contained volcanic chamber. Once that was set up, he refilled the hole with soil until only the furnace’s opening remained visible at ground level.
Finally, he attached a gas canister, ignited the furnace, and adjusted its flow. Flas roared inside imdiately, rising against the tal walls.
The heat and glowing embers seeped through cracks in the rocks, resembling a volcanic den. Although small, it provided an ideal habitat for Emberdart Minnows, small lizards adapted to intense heat. The space was enclosed, secure, and sustainable.
He finished his work quickly, and then his other body subdued all the Sparks.
First, he guided three small stone fish to their new ho and dropped them into the stone and sand basin.
As soon as the fish entered the basin, they dove deep and disappeared from view. Although Adyr couldn’t see them, his ntal link confird they were comfortable—there was no problem.
Next, despite his energy body feeling as if his hand was burning, he carried the three red lizards to the other island and released them inside the crematorium.
The mont the lizards sensed the heat, they sprinted on their two legs across the grass, escaping the cooler air above, and quickly entered the underground shelter prepared specially for them.
Once inside, they paused briefly to observe their surroundings, then each moved toward an active fla, settling beside it as if claiming their territory. They looked satisfied.
When everything was completed, Adyr opened his character panel and checked his current status.
[Na]: Adyr
[Race]: Twilight Human
[Path]: Primora
[Evolution Step]: 2
[Physique]: 50
[Will]: 25
[Resilience]: 34
[Sense]: 30
[Energy]: 0 / 439
[Registered Talents]: 10/15 → 14/15
[Sparks]: 4/10 → 10/10
[Sanctuary]: Twilight Land
[Free Stat Points]: 31 → 75
"I accumulated quite a few free stat points," Adyr noted, satisfied with his progress.
He hadn’t distributed them yet. Increasing [Resilience] and [Will] with 30% bonuses would make sense, but there was no need to rush.
The sun was already setting. Back on Earth, his body headed ho for dinner, while here, in this world, he pushed open his door and stepped into the hall.
He called for the maids and ordered dinner. Within monts, they returned with two trolleys piled high with food.
That was another reason to wait before investing the free stat points. Once he did, even these two trolleys wouldn’t be enough to sustain him.
I need to solve this food issue, Adyr thought as he ate.
He forced the food down as quickly as possible, but it was still a waste of ti. He needed a way to take in more nutrition with smaller als.
When he was done, he left his room and crossed the halls to the Draven Mansion gardens.
Night had painted the landscape in muted black and white, creating a strangely peaceful atmosphere.
"Lord Adyr," the King and the other Lords greeted him.
They were all still camped in the garden as if they had nowhere else to go. Every ti he stepped outside and found them there, he started to get irritated.
There was no reason for him to be this social, especially with these people. Vesha was more than enough for now to take care of his daily needs. He thought it was ti to secure his own secluded mansion.
Keeping his dissatisfaction hidden, he greeted them politely. After a brief exchange, he excused himself, unfurled his wings, and flew toward Colossith and the other practitioners.
With his Sparks and Twilight Land taken care of, it was finally ti to begin the sword training Lucen had promised.
