I am finally home and about to take a deep breath to feel the familiar smell of home, I was pushed by a person from behind.
I shook my head in smile seeing that, there are thousands of people are coming out of the exit and if I stopped even for a second, I would get trampled by them.
Walking ahead I saw big opened space in front of me enough to hold more than a million people which it now holds.
The whole space is barricaded and there are thousands of checking posts are connected to these barricades.
If one wants to go outside then one will have to go through that checking point and to go through that checking point one has to pay taxes.
From what is projected in those big screens, those who entered the first badge had to give 25% of the stuff they got in the herbs.
Be it herbs, monsters material or artifacts they all have to give 25% percent of the things they have obtained from the Minerva realm.
These are the Adventurers who entered the realm with me with paid tickets, they had already known they will have to pay 25% of the things they got.
The thing that surprised me is the amount they are taking from people who enter after us after the news of Awakening Ground broke.
These people have entered the realm for free but after exiting it, they had to give away half of their stuff as tax.
I thought organizations would ask for 30%, maximum 40% of the stuff but they are asking for a whopping 50%, this is akin to looking.
But no one complaining much as those who are handling collection is very strong powerhouses way above they can handle.
I was also quite shocked when I first sensed the power of these people, these people all are Captain stage or above.
These powerhouses are not in tens but more than thousands in numbers, they are standing at each collection point and not only that, there is fearful aura lingering in the background which makes people want to kneel subconsciously.
I linger in the open ground for a moment before walking toward the collection point.
"Beep!"
As I reached the collection point, I scan my holowatch to censor and directly walk past without stopping to pay taxes and powerhouse at collection point also did not stop me either.
Except for members of Top organizations, everyone had to give up a certain percentage of their things but I am different.
My Minerva real ticket was the price I got from the Westblood city competition, It is a Super level ticket, those who have it are exempt from paying any taxes.
Otherwise, I would have had to give a shitload of stuff to organizations.
Walking out of barricade, I walked toward the hovercar.
A few minutes later, I am in the hovercar which is taking me to the westblood city, hundreds of such hover cars could be seen in the sky around me.
’Ting Ting Ting Ting.....’
As I reached near westblood cities, the notifications started to ring out in my holowatch.
Most of the emails are from my parents asking me to call them as long as I get out of Space Realm.
They even posted images and videos of my cute sister where she says she is missing me a lot and I should come as soon as possible.
It sounds really cute she repeat after my mother in her cute toddler voice.
There are mails from my friends, especially from ellen asking me to call her when I came out of the Minerva Realm.
I had already informed her months ago that I will be going to the Minerva realm.
Reading all her messages, I knew she also has entered the realm.
After reading all the messages, I called my parents. This time there were no tears and screaming as they had already known I am going to the space realm and will be coming back after a month or so.
By the time, I had hung up the call, saying I will visit home in a week, I already had reached my apartment.
Getting out of the Hover Car, I walk toward my apartment building.
First thing I did after entering my apartment is laying on my soft bed, no matter how comfortable the bed in my tent is, it can’t compare to one in my apartment.
Unknowingly I fell asleep on my soft comfortable bed when I wake up it was already an evening.
Washing away my sleepy mood in the shower, I ordered food from outside.
I am not in the mood to cook and also, I am feeling quite bored with selfing a self-cooked meal every day for a month.
The food had arrived in half an hour and hour, the food I ordered quite expensive but it was worth it as me and Ashlyn at till our stomach was full.
Today the city’s skyline seemed exceptionally beautiful, it’s just me feeling it due to my good mood or it really is, I don’t know.
I gaze at the city’s skyline as I sit on the chair in the balcony, In my hand is a bottle of been which I am taking a sip from now and then.
Usually, I don’t drink as I feel lightheaded very quickly whenever I drank it, so mostly I abstained from drinking alcohol.
But today feeling good, I decided to drink it and to my surprise, I didn’t feel lightheaded as usual after drinking one bottle.
It was likely because two Amethyst Seal’s in my body which had improved my physique, otherwise, I would have felt my head buzzing by now.
"Chew chew chew chew...."
"No!" I said to Ashlyn, this is also the reason I don’t drink much, Ashlyn has unusually high love for alcohol.
About six months ago, when it was the first time I tried alcohol, Ashlyn also demanded I have her some.
Before I knew it, she somehow finished the whole bottle, she got high in just one bottle and started to release small blasts of fire across the whole apartment.
If not for me, putting out a fire quickly, she would have burned down the whole apartment.
Before giving her drink, I thought it would not affect her seeing how high her metabolism is but I was wrong, from that day whenever I drink, I did not give a single drop to her.
"Chew chew chew!"
Seeing I am not giving a single, she chirped at me loudly before flying to another side.
I sighed when I saw that braced myself for a few days of cold treatment from her.
Tomorrow is an important day, tomorrow not only I will go to the Adventurers Paradise to register as Rule user, but I will also get to know the details about the Grimm battlefield there.
What Jill had told me just basics and sometimes I even wonder if this was some elaborate prank or something.
All will be known in adventurers paradise, all my doubts and queries will be cleared there tomorrow, I thought as I left the balcony.
