Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"Abril, let Ramon handle it," said Keva from the distance. "It is my artifact," he replied, a little defensively.

"Yes, but Ramon is a culinary master, and you are just an enthusiast." She said, making him glare at her.

I was slowly taking a step back, not wanting to be part of their fight, when Abril turned to me.

"Here, take this and I hope you cook some good shit," He said, handing me tools.

"There is no need. You are doing a great job," I said, wanting to decline, but he just glared.

"I am a good cook, but nothing compared to someone who has cleared several culinary challenges," he said.

"I will try to be not disappointing," I said and took things from him.

There are all types of meat and sauces and other things required for the barbeque. I only need to bring out four things before I start in earnest while chatting with Abril.

He and his wife had cleared many runic challenges, including conquering two.

I missed those because I was attempting the other challenges. I could be at every place. They also earned a lot of points from other challenges.

I am impressed with this smoker; I am operating seven flames on it. The most powerful is Peak Earth Sovereign level, while the weakest is at Sovereign.

The group in the building is quite diverse, belonging to a different race, race, region, and continent. We also have different levels; one among us is at Primary III.

He is a young man from the Prime organization; I know because he handed me the card of his organization.

Soon, the first badge of barbeque was finished, and I served them, including taking two plates, one for me and the other for Nero, who jumped from my shoulder to eat.

"I don't want to say anything bad to you, my love, but Ramon is really good," said Keva.

Abril didn't even reply, he was completely focused on eating; The only time he looked up was to drink the beer.

"It is quite good," said my elf neighbor, appearing beside me.

"Thank you," I replied.

"Seraphina," she introduced. "Ramon," I replied.

"You are one talented person, Ramon. Elders will be angry if I don't try to recruit you," he said with a smile.

"I would love to take your card," I said, to which she rolled her eyes while I admonished myself.

I was flirting; the words came out of my mouth before I could stop myself.

"I belong to Elanser, and we like to have you," she said, and I couldn't help but get surprised.

Elensar is one of the most powerful organizations in the world. A Golden Prime organization.

There are only seven of them in the whole prime world.

There are more continents in the world than the Golden Prime grade organizations.

It is hard to get that grade.

To have any grade; one needs to have a powerhouse of that level for three generations. The period of generation is different between Primary, Sovereign, and Prime.

To get a Golden Prime; the organization needed to be produced then for nine generations. It is the easiest condition; the hardest one is to have your member above the Golden Prime.

Her organizations have surprised me, but it is not because of its grade.

What surprised me was the name of the organization. It is what it is, an organization that Rayna's brother belongs to.

It was on their clothes.

Though the medallion he gave me belongs to another Prime organization. It is likely their subsidiary organization; I didn't look too deeply; it makes you noticed by the people; you don't want to.

"Thank you for the offer, but I like to remain independent," I said to her, and she smiled.

Likely expecting the answer.

It is the first time I have directly declined the offer directly since coming here. Usually, I would take their cards and give them a non-committal address.

"If you ever wished to, use this," she said and gave me a coin.

It is a simple stone coin. On one side, there is an emblem of Elensar, on the other side, is a different emblem that I couldn't recognize.

I chatted with her for a few minutes before moving to other neighbors, who all tried recruiting speeches.

The only one who didn't is Abril and Keva, who are independent like me.

To be honest, I would have loved to join the organization. Especially the Golden Prime, but I couldn't. I have a secret big enough that it will make even Golden Prime salivate.

Forbidden Power is the biggest one.

Everybody wants it. If it were known, I would be hunted across the world. It is too precious, especially to peak Golden Prime.

As it could help them tremendously in crossing the great chasm.

Time passed and soon three hours passed; everybody ate, till they couldn't. I enjoyed it a lot and felt relaxed.

"Abril, thank you for the beer," I said to the dwarf as I took ten vats of it from him.

"The culinary book you have given me is more than worth a few vats," he said, waved, as he left with his wife.

"You are not coming?" I asked Seraphina, to which she shook her head.

"No, I am healing to Ax tower," she replied. "Goodbye then," I said and walked toward my apartment.

Ax tower is a fighting tower, where one could fight for points and even bid them on people. It is the most popular destination and Seraphina; is a champion.

Her points are closer to mine and if she keeps winning them; then she will go above.

She will, without a doubt.

I completed and conquered all the challenges I could while she was fighting and collecting thousands by day. I, on the other most, would collect a few hundred at most from tomorrow.

I plan to visit the ax tower, but first, I have to try other things; I have five days to do all that.

I wish I had more time, but unfortunately, I didn't.

Sermon Palace will open in five days and, while people still could earn points after that; I would be spending what I had earned.

Click!

I opened my door and went inside my apartment. I wanted to sleep immediately, but I decided to take the shower first.

It is a great shower; I love the water and tried to collect it, but there are restrictions on it.

I couldn't even take a single drop.

I came out of the shower fifteen minutes later and wore a comfortable cloth, before laying down on the bed.

I closed my eyes and instead of going to sleep, which I wanted to; I went to my core. Something had happened while I was showering and I wanted to check, before going to sleep.

"It is working," I said, seeing the tiny grain of broken pearl absorbing the alchemical solution rapidly.

The grain belongs to Sky Grade alom pearl, and the solution is something I crafted.

While I had said, I wouldn't work on the abode before making a breakthrough into the Sovereign. I had also said I would be collecting material and doing some research for it.

This is me doing research.

If it is succeeded; I will clear one big hurdle in crafting the abode.
