The capital was named as Jeras City since the time Prince Jeras Uriel ascended the throne as a King.

Entering the city cost them a toll of 10 Purple Coins each, but none of them were poor, so they easily paid off the toll.

As they saw the buildings, Davis nodded his head in satisfaction.

Unlike the towns which had roads that were not clean, the roads here were built to showcase their wealth and grandeur.

In terms of looks, it was not any worse than the modern roads in the third layer; Planet Earth.

The road was wide enough for about six carriages to pass through side by side at the same time. On each side of the road were lanterns that would burn brightly at the night, illuminating the city.

The buildings were at least three stories high with the tallest being nine stories high.

Numerous Magical Beasts were used as mounts and even pets, but the latter was rare.

Davis looked at the sight with admiration. It was entirely different from what he had expected, it was filled with a cultural significance and even some form of resemblance to civility as almost everyone was dressed courteously.

Of course, he knew better that the clothes don't make up the character in most cases.

After crossing the second layer to the first layer, it was the first time he was reminded of the brightly lit streets of the modern world.

There were no peddlers or street vendors in his line of view but only shops which were visible on the ground floor of some buildings.

Lucas then said that he had already visited this place once and opted to show them around the place before heading to the Cloud Spring Mercenaries Branch.

When they finally finished sightseeing around the city for a whole afternoon, they headed to their Cloud Spring Mercenaries Branch.

Once they reached the Cloud Spring Mercenaries Branch building, they easily entered and submitted their mission without facing any difficulties.

The building itself was a nine-story building with plenty of empty rooms for them to stay.

And because Lucas and Lucia were present, the Branch Manager present gifted them two VIP rooms on the 9th floor to stay. After all, who wouldn't want to give face to the Leader's descendants? If not, they would be courting death.

Many mercenaries felt jealous and envious of Davis because they had thought that he had gotten in the good books of the Lucas and Lucia.

Lucas and Lucia settled down in a single room and politely handed over the key of the other VIP room to Davis.

Davis didn't stand on ceremony and gladly accepted their goodwill.

...

After Davis entered his room, the first thing he did was take a bath.

The bath was only wide as a small pond.

He slowly removed his clothes and stepped into the warm water.

"Hmm? The water is imbued with heaven and earth energy... As expected of a VIP room..." Davis slowly moaned as he could literally feel the stress and tiredness washing away from his body.

He pleasantly closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling of relief which caused him to take a deep breath of the unique aroma of the water.

Softly laying in the pond, Davis started recollecting the past.

He looked at the slowly setting sun in the west through the window and couldn't understand how a sun could exist in this place.

He was almost sure that in the second layer, the Sun and Moon existed and were able to shine in the Grand Sea Continent because the continent was flat.

Then what about the third layer? Was it also flat? Was the Sun in the third layer so big that it cover the whole massive continent landmass?

He found his knowledge to be extremely lacking, not only in this aspect but also in everything.

Charm Arts didn't exist in the second layer according to his knowledge but it was present here and was used without being ostracized.

The Cultivation Manuals here were ranked the same except it was completely different than the ones in the second layer. He knew this because he had gone through the Cultivation Manuals robbed from Young Master Jackson.

The strong proactively controlled the weak, yet the weak continue to either bide their time so they can counter-attack or stay low till they die.

Thinking of all the people who are currently living their lives in this world, Davis smiled.

What new encounters would he have in this life?

He couldn't help but thank his previous loner-self for making the decision to believe in that fantasy-like nonsense while choosing to devote his remaining life to transmigrate.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think what kind of life he would have lived if he hadn't known about the way to transmigrate.

Would he have spent his life in loneliness? Would he make a harem for himself and enjoy his measly remaining short time with the Death Book? Or would he marry a single person like any other normal modern man would and live his life while giving a cold shoulder to everyone else?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt thankful for coming to this world.

In such a short period of time, he was able to come out of his misery and think positively for once in a while because of someone; his mother.

If he hadn't met Claire, he would have remained cold. If he hadn't felt that he was part of her family, he would have remained extremely selfish and isolated.

Although he still retained the above traits, it was minuscule when compared to his previous life on Planet Earth.

Thinking about all this, Davis looked very refreshed as he glanced at the setting sun from the room on the ninth floor of the building.

He felt as if the dusk symbolized the loneliness he felt from the very beginning of his life, slowly growing up till he found his family, which is the dawn that eventually will rise tomorrow.

A smile eventually crept up to his face as he sank inside the pond and sat crossed leg on the surface.

His soul which was stuck in a bottleneck since the last time he broke through, displayed signs of loosening.

In his Soul Sea, the souls of the Magical Beasts that he hunted were slowly being refined by the dark-like energy before being fed to his soul.

His soul essence which was illuminated in bright light tinged with dark spots of deathly aura, slightly grew in size as time passed by.

He could very clearly hear his soul letting out shouts of joy as it devoured the refined clouds of soul essences, as if it could feel emotions of its own, but he knew that this feeling was entirely his own.

A few hours later, the smile that was still on his face was slowly replaced with a calm expression.

As he checked his soul, he verified that he had successfully stepped into the High-Level Adult Soul Stage.

"It's only been three months from the time I reached Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage, yet I broke through the next level in a frightening speed..." Davis muttered in a satisfied tone.

"You should remember who you should be thanking then..." Suddenly, a voice came with a sneer which was extremely familiar to him.
