Monster Integration (Web Novel)

I opened my eyes and saw the three-dimensional purple mountain disappear, and I was sitting on the grey dust of burned impurities.

I did not focus on any of that; instead, I looked at myself. At first, I felt no change; there was no boiling strength or feeling of invincibility; I felt nothing, but when I moved my hand as I was barely able to control its speed, I nearly fell by its momentum.

I moved my hand around, twitched my fingers, and couldn't help but think I was not in my own body but someone else's.

The strength is similar, but the effect of it had increased by a fold; I have to move my hands and fingers slowly to move them at regular speed.

Usually, I pretty quickly get adjusted to increased strength, but this time, I am having a little problem. My strength had not increased in a usual way, and for it, I will need a little longer to get adjusted to it.

I moved my hands around for a couple of seconds before I had finally got up slowly and began to get used to my new strength.

I started with the basic exercises, and as I was able to perform them, I began to with complicated ones. I started to fall down in every direction, these complicated exercises needed fine physical control, and I didn't have it.

I began to perform exercise after exercise; at first, it was quite hard, and I would fall every other second, but as time passed, my falls began to lessen, and I did not fall for minutes.

By the time an hour was over, I had not fallen down for twenty minutes, and I continued for another half an hour, and when I did not fall on that half hour, I had finally stopped.

Though I am far from gaining perfect control over myself, I had got enough that now, even if I had played with my sister, I would accidentally hurt her.

Now that I have gotten the basic control, it is time to see my new power, which is one of the main reasons I chose this Art over others.

I opened my palm and called the new energy that I was sensing in me, and that very moment, murky grey energy appeared in my hands. This energy in my body is in a very small amount, but it is extremely powerful; as it appeared, the air around it started to shake.

This is hybrid energy, and in the books I had read, it is called internal energy; with its help, I would be able to accomplish million different things.

The other arts have also offered different kinds of energies, which are all internal energies but flavored ones, powerful in their own domains. The internal energy that Forge Mountain Art helped me produce is an original one that humans would produce without any flavor.

It may be weaker in some areas compared to the energies of other arts, but it is stronger in many other things, and the most important thing about this plain internal energy is that it is versatile. It will able to help me do many things that others' physical, soul, or hybrid art energies could not.

I looked at the energy for a few seconds before I wrapped it around my fist and threw a punch in the air.

Seee!

My fist tore through the air, making me feel the resistance from space itself. If I had been outside where space is not strong as the Pyramid, I would have vibrated the space itself.

Just completion of 10% of 1st stage has given me a powerful body and soul and manifested internal energy. It also made my skin even more vibrant and soft that even my sister would be jealous of it. I couldn't help but feel happy about the progress I had made.

Sigh!

A few seconds later, the euphoria of progress had died down, and I thought about the other aspects of this Art, resources.

Art is a resources guzzler; it requires an immense amount of them, even if I have exchanged all the resources I have for the resources needed for the practice. They won't be enough to successfully practice the 1st stage of the Art.

Also, I could not exchange all the resources I have as I need them for my own breakthrough; my level breakthroughs also going to need an immense amount of resources.

It is a good thing I am joining the war in a few days and would get ample chance to collect the resources. Not to mention, tomorrow I have a meeting with Grand Commander and going to show her my creations which I have worked very hard for.

If my creations worked as I had intended, I would have even more resources of general level; they just have to succeed, or lots of resources I had spent on them going to be a waste.

Click!

I had tested my power for a few hours more before I walked out of the huge arena which I had borrowed from the Pyramid. They have shifted it to the room and provided the door; as I walked out of the door, it was going to be back to its original place.

The Pyramid is a very powerful artifact; it could do many wonderful things; shifting the spaces is one just of its amazing abilities.

As I walked to my room, I directly went to shower. There are so many impurities that have come out of me that I wanted to shower, even if I clean.

Ting!

I took a long shower of twenty minutes and had just worn the fresh set of clothes when my holowatched beeped with an important notification. It is from Blazing Sphere, and they have a big medical emergency.

They are bringing the patient to me.

It seemed like the emergency is quite big for them to bring the patient to me instead of the medical bay with state-of-the-art medical equipments and artifacts.
