Axis caught the pouch and, without hesitation, quickly peeked inside.
Her eyes widened as soon as she saw a bunch of seeds!
"Wait… these are Moonshade Blossom seeds! And… Starfruit Sprouts?!" She gasped, looking up at him in shock.
"These are super rare! Where did you even find these?!"
Shane shrugged. "I have my ways."
Axis let out a squeal of excitent and hugged the pouch to her chest.
"Ohhh, this is amazing! You have no idea how beautiful these plants are going to be!"
Shane smiled at her reaction but then turned his gaze back to the massive warehouse near the edge of the realm.
"Did you finish harvesting?" he asked.
Axis nodded eagerly. "Yep! All the fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms you planted have been harvested and stored properly." She pointed toward the warehouse, wings fluttering. "You have a huge stock of food waiting for you. Right, this realm had been blessed by the Fairy Queen! More animals arrived in this realm. You have to check it out!"
"Ohhh… That's great. I'll explore the area later."
Shane said as he walked over to the warehouse and pushed open the large wooden doors.
Inside, neatly stacked crates filled the space, containing everything from Moonlit Apples to Glowroot Mushrooms.
"Aweso…"
A rich, earthy aroma filled the air, and Shane felt satisfaction settle in his chest.
With this supply, he could strengthen the Eclipse Domain even further, ensuring that his people never lacked food or essential ingredients for alchemy and dicine. To be exact, even the two other shelters would greatly benefit from this.
Based on his calculation, the stock here could feed the three shelters he owned for at least four months. The was simply too incredible and it showed how this realm was so important to them!
Turning back to Axis, he nodded at her and even wanted to kiss her. However, she was simply too small. "Good work, Axis, you did really well."
As he said this, he was considering what to give her again. It felt like the seeds weren't a gift but just another job for her after all.
Axis, on the other hand, puffed out her chest. "Of course! I am the Guardian of this place, after all."
Shane chuckled. "I'll be relying on you to plant those new seeds too."
Axis saluted playfully. "Leave it to !"
Since Shane still had plenty of ti, he just continued to inspect the realm, taking in the beauty of his ever-growing sanctuary.
Well, this place was peaceful, so he planned to relax for a bit.
After all, just on the next day, he would march toward Dreadnight Fortress and he had no idea how long he would be able to conquer that place.
For now, though, he allowed himself this mont of tranquility—surrounded by the mana that rejuvenates his body.
***
Shane actually fell asleep after lying down for a while.
It had been a while since he had gotten such a refreshing sleep and he could tell that the surrounding mana did sothing to his body.
At this ti, he noticed Axis just watching him like so sort of a pet waiting for its master to wake up.
"Did I sleep for long?" Shane asked.
"Just about an hour." Axis replied as she crossed her arms.
"Alright, I'll leave those new seeds in your hands… You should plant them now." He said as he noticed that the small pouch was still being carried by the fairy.
Axis pouted. "You're just making work again…"
Shane chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. "Fine, fine. I'll give you a proper reward later."
That seed to satisfy her, as the little fairy bead at him before flying off to plant the seeds with an excited noise…
With a stretch, Shane turned his attention toward the crystal-clear lake that seed to be attracting him to take a bath. The water was so pure that it reflected the sky like a flawless mirror. It was definitely beautiful. Furthermore, he knew for a fact that the water was basically so sort of healing potion at this point.
"Go ahead, Silver. Play around," Shane said, tapping the tal Sli that had been lazily resting on his shoulder.
With a gleeful sound, the small silver blob launched itself from his shoulder, bouncing off a rock before plunging into the lake.
Splash~
The impact sent ripples across the water, but instead of sinking, Silver's liquid-like body spread out, montarily resembling a floating sheet of tal before reforming into its round shape.
Shane smiled as he watched his pet dart around the lake's surface, occasionally forming little tendrils to splash at the fish swimming below.
Every now and then, Silver would absorb a small rock or mineral from the lakebed, greedily consuming whatever material it found beneficial.
"Just don't eat the whole lake," Shane muttered.
Seeing that Silver was enjoying itself, Shane decided to venture deeper into the Fairy Realm—specifically, toward the lush forest at the very edge of this pocket dinsion.
The first ti he visited, it was barren, just a stretch of land with little more than a few trees and patches of grass. Then, in his last visit, it had already grown so much. But now?
It was basically thriving.
As he stepped onto the soft, mossy ground, he felt the mana here was actually dense even closely similar to the situation near the World Tree.
"This place looks a lot better now." Shane muttered.
The trees had also grown tall and they all have thick canopies filtering sunlight.
There were also vines crawling up their trunks and various wild mushrooms that were probably edible as well.
Shane then crouched down near a cluster of glowing blue flowers as he wanted to check if these flowers could actually be harvested and used in Alchemy.
After all, he subtly felt that the mana radiating from them was potent. There must be sothing special about this flower.
However, as he was about to do so, a movent caught his eye.
A small rabbit-like creature with silver-like fur peeked out from behind a bush. Its large eyes stared curiously at him.
Shane grinned. "Well, aren't you new?"
The creature twitched its ears but didn't run. It simply watched him, as if evaluating whether or not he was a threat.
Shane then remained still, allowing the little creature to approach on its own terms. Slowly, the rabbit hopped closer and Shane couldn't help but feel excited.
Well, there was nothing like this outside of this realm after all.
Furthermore, he was no longer lacking food or at so he wasn't thinking of eating this cute creature… At the very least, not yet. He was simply enjoying this new experience of eting an animal.
"But if they don't have a predator here, there will be an overpopulation of them soon." Shane muttered as he knew that rabbits could easily breed.
It may be cute to find a handful of them but if there were hundreds or even thousands of them, it would definitely not be a cute thing.
Then, out of nowhere, another creature darted around. It was a tiny, winged lizard, no bigger than his hand, gliding between the trees before perching on a nearby branch.
It had scales like eralds, and its wings were translucent, resembling that of a dragonfly.
"What is that thing? Wait… Isn't that similar to the ones in the Fairy Realm Apocalypse?!"
Shane's excitent grew as he recalled his mories of his past life. It seed that this realm was slowly turning into a true fairy world!
Not only were plants flourishing, but wildlife was beginning to form here as well.
"This really is turning into a proper world," Shane muttered in awe.
He spent the next hour exploring, discovering even more fascinating lifeforms—a colony of small, glowing insects that seed to produce light; a group of tiny, two-tailed foxes that blended into the foliage; and even a strange, moss-covered stone that pulsed with a faint heartbeat, as if it were alive.
'Golem?' Shane's eyes narrowed as he saw the specific stone.
Anyway, he took ntal notes of everything, already wondering what would happen to this place if it continued developing. Perhaps, in just a year or so, this small Fairy Realm would be capable of even welcoming a race from the Fairy Realm… Goblins, Elves, Kobolds, and others might start appearing soon!
Shane shook his head as he also found this idea too ridiculous. However, he was certainly looking forward to what kind of this would be in just a few more months.
There were simply too many possibilities that could happen to this place.
Anyway, Shane continued to explore this forest.
He had a limited ti in this place, so wanted to do sothing significant at the very least.
Soon, he arrived in an area that was emitting a dense amount of mana…
'Ahh… Is it that place?' Shane thought.
Shane narrowed his eyes and activated Arcane Sight, one of his investigative skills that allowed him to perceive mana flows which was sothing he obtained in the Fairy Realm Collision Apocalypse... Imdiately, a faint trail of blue energy beca visible to his eyes, and followed its source without any hesitation.
It didn't take that long before he finally noticed it.
It was a rock formation partially hidden by thick vines and twisted roots.
At first glance, it seed like any other natural structure, but Shane knew what it really was.
"It's really here… A Mana Stone deposit."
