ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm With my understanding of fate plunder harmonizing with the unruly currents of the river and taming them, I realized my scary idea was the right way to go to advance my understanding of fate plunder meaning further.
So, I continued to swim along the current of the date plunder river until I finally managed to completely tame the wild currents of the river. However, this was not enough for me to advance my understanding of fate plunder to the ultimate level, I was missing something.
After thinking for a while I decided to dive into the river and swim inside it. Plunging into the river, I went deeper into the river and soon I started to feel shortness of breath. I felt like I would soon run out of breath. The impossibility of this situation puzzled me.
I was inside the spiritual plane in my spiritual body where we don’t breathe air but for some reason, I felt shortness of breath as if I was diving in a real river.
Considering that ripple in the pond of blood rule and the unruly currents of the river represented my understanding of the blood rule’s fate plunder main I started to wonder if the lack of breath in the fate plunder river also symbolized my understanding of the fate plunder.
When I sank into the river, by the surface I did not feel any difficulty breathing but going deeper into the river I started to feel difficulty in my breathing.
It was as if the shortness of breath was telling me that my understanding of the fate plunder was not enough to go deeper into the river.
This meant if I wanted to dive deeper into the river I would require a higher understanding of the fate plunder. Coming to this conclusion I forced myself to dive deeper into the fate plunder river regardless of the difficulty in my breathing hoping to find rewards in risk.
Ignoring the discomfort I’m my chest and shortness of breath I stubbornly continued to dive deeper into the fate plunder river. Soon my consciousness began to become a blur I had only one thought in my mind, to go deeper.
They say fortune favors the bold well they were wrong in my case my ignorant stubbornness resulted in me drowning.
I struggled to breathe as I felt bloated and my body felt heavy. I plummeted into the depths of the fate plunder river at a fast pace. I got what I wanted but at the cost of my life.
Was I being reckless by going the extreme lengths to achieve what I wanted despite having no idea if it would work?
Yes, I was. But there was a reason behind my recklessness. I was not the one to gamble my life but since I knew somebody was watching out for me I dare to be reckless.
The somebody I speak of was none other than the devil merchant code. I was inside the sector ES0012 of the inter-realm city where my spiritual body’s health was guaranteed by the devil merchant code for a small offering of course.
Before I lost consciousness, I felt an invisible force grab my drowning spiritual body and drag me out of the river. Soon when I finally got hold of my senses I realized that I was back in my warehouse in property no.04 of sector ES0012 lying at the center of a broken array formation.
Just as I was making sense of my surrounding a red prompt window covered my vision,
[Warning: Dear Demon Merchant,
If you purposefully put yourself in harm’s way the premium of your security in the inter-realm city will increase based on the harm you directed on yourself.
This is the first and last warning. Next time your premium for security will increase.
Note: Please note you have gained one strike.]
[Report: Dear Demon Merchant,
For demon/devil merchants not to abuse the loopholes in the rules, the devil merchant code has established a strike system. Based on the seriousness of the violations the said demon/devil merchant will gain strikes. Which will disappear with continued good behavior. However, if one were to accumulate 3 or more strikes they will be punished accordingly.
Note: Punishment can also result in temporary or permanent suspension of demon/devil merchant privileges and status.]
[Dear Demon Merchant,
You have gained one strike for violating the rules of devil merchant code security. Please, behave to reset the number of strikes.
Note: If the number of accumulated strikes increases to 3 or higher strikes the demon merchant is punishable by temporary or permanent suspension of demon/devil merchant privileges and status.]
I was already aware of the strike system of the devil merchant code, it was a joke, one could avoid these strikes by giving appropriate offerings to the devil code. Not to forget these strikes go away with a period of good behavior.
Therefore, I did not hesitate to make use of the devil merchant code despite knowing that it would result in me getting a strike. However, it was worth it as the risk I took was not for nothing. I finally knew what I was missing.
Knowing what I had to do next I sat in the lotus position and concentrated all my attention to find myself drifting with currents of the fate plunder river. I was back in the river.
This time I did not recklessly dive into the river. But calmly floated trying to remember the last moments of when I almost drowned in the fate plunder river.
I focused my mind to remember the last glimpses that I saw between almost losing my consciousness and being pulled out by the devil merchant code. That was where the secret to advancing my understanding of the fate plunder meaning lay.
I drift with the currents of the river hoping my familiarity with the river would assist me remember what I couldn’t by myself.
