Sam almost made the rooftop his residence for the next few days. He continuously tried to experiment with the runes on the box.

He even made a replica of the slide puzzle and started carrying it wherever he went when performing his regular duties in the organization.

He is extremely busy and vexed at the same time. At first, with the clue placed around the box, he thought he would be able to solve this in half-a-month, but he clearly overestimated his own abilities and thought too highly of his skills.

He barely completed half of the puzzle in this half-a-month and he is not confident that it would be done any time soon.

But on the fifteenth day afternoon, a message arrived that Arkiv came to meet him.

By this time, Arkiv already figured out who Sam is, but he didn’t say this to any other person. Only he knew that Sam’s involvement in the destruction of this land is too much and it would be no exaggeration to say that he played all the major powers big time.

This taught him a lesson that he should be more cautious when dealing with Sam and shouldn’t make any rash decisions.

Sam came back to his office, where Arkiv is waiting as he looked around curiously.

Even though he figured out who Sam is earlier, he still didn’t visit him till now. He was extremely busy assimilating the knowledge of the new secret technique he got from the Usaine sect.

When Sam came, both of them exchanged pleasantries and he directly came to the point.

"My dimensional crosses opened."

Arkiv said in a serious tone.

"When?" San also became extremely serious and asked.

"Yesterday, I broke through into middle-stage of the Nascent stage with Level-4 and the dimensional crosser opened.

I don’t know where it exists and where it came from, but all I know is that is definitely present and I can gain access to it anytime I want."

"Can I see it?"

Sam asked curiously.

Arkiv nodded and closed his eyes as he extended his hand. The next second a Black sphere appeared in his hands.

It is as large as a soccer ball and completely black in color emitting a metallic shine. He opened his eyes and with a thought, the smooth Black sphere suddenly opened up and spread with some metallic structures inside which are completely engraved with runes.

A holographic screen appeared above the metallic structural mechanism and there are some kinds of words and numbers written on it.

The words are showing the name of the realm and the numbers might be the coordinates of the place they are going to appear.

When Sam saw the name of the realm, he was surprised and it is actually not a good one. Because the name of the realm is actually something he is familiar with.

It is one he read about from the Hindu Mythology.

He doesn’t know exactly which mythology is true, but he studied many of them in his previous life and he did it mostly for inspiration in the weapon designs and technology breakthrough.

And most of it has helped him understand many things in this world. And apparently the mythologies he read and not just some simple myths.

Many of them seemed to be real in this world and even though, they slightly deviated from what he knew and read, at least he has some head start above the rest of the players.

Coming to the Point, the place they are going next is actually Naga-Loka.

The lowest of the seven Patala Lokas in Hindu Mythology.

From what he knew from the mythology, there are fourteen Lokas and out of them, seven are the realms of celestials and mortals and the remaining seven are of the mortals and Demons.

The realms belonging to the Celestials are Mortals are where higher-level humans and the deities live and the realms belonging to Mortals and Demons are where the demonic mortals like lesser demons, Nagas the Serpentmen, Yakshas nature spirits or the elementals of lower status purity live in this place.

Of course, the same races live in other Patala Lokas, but even in these races, there are various families and Bloodline difference and they maintained their residences in different realms based on their statuses by the most powerful occupying the realms with the most resources.

The Naga Loka is actually a world that is ruled by the Naga Race and from a mythology standpoint, only Nagas used to stay in this plane and ruled by them.

Of course, there are other beasts and such there which are common, but other demonic mortals and other demons were not present in this place at one point in time. But Sam didn’t think his knowledge can completely reflect who is staying in this place.

But one thing he surely knows is that, no race that he knew of likes humans. No matter which demonic race might have taken residence in this plane, they don’t like humans.

It would be hard for them to survive in this place.

He also remembered the numbers just in case.

When Arkiv saw that Sam was dazed, he felt like something is wrong and asked.

"Why are you dazed?"

Sam came out of his stupor and said.

"It’s nothing. When are you leaving?"

"I haven’t decided yet. I met with that guy from the Beast faction and it turned out to he has also broken through and got the dimensional crosser recently. But he has different coordinates. Not by much though. Only three digits changed. We don’t exactly know how to decode these things, but my gut is telling us that they are not that far away.

We are thinking maybe they are the different entrances’ locations in that other realm."

"Are you sure? I mean, they had opened six entrances previously in here. So, there is indeed a possibility that you are true. But don’t you think there is a chance that they are sending you guys to the different corners and have to find a way to the Palace of Inheritance?"

Arkiv thought for a moment and said.

"There is indeed such a possibility, but we are thinking a bit positively. I am also contemplating if I should leave right now or should I leave a bit later.

After all, there is still around one year and five months for the next palace of inheritance.

I don’t know if I would be able to survive that place with my current strength. I don’t even know what kind of dangers we face."

Sam looked at him and said after some thought.

"From what I know, Naga Lok should be someplace that is ruled by the Naga Race and I know this because I read in some ancient text that Naga Race is a special race that can be demonic mortals to the Greater Demon Celestials.

The most important thing is, they don’t like humans. I hope you will be making the decisions carefully. It is not a safe place."

Arkiv frowned after listening to this. He doesn’t know where Sam read this and how he got this knowledge.

But from the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be joking at all. He took the advice and decided to consider his next step as he asked.

"When are you going to leave?"

Sam halted his train of thoughts and immediately felt a headache. He was trying his best to figure out that too. But what can he do? He couldn’t get past that stupid sliding puzzle.

"I am working on it, I got the boxes with a lot less effort than I anticipated, but now I am having trouble cracking the secret behind it.

The puzzle is extremely frustrating. But I think I would be able to deal with that by the end of the month."

Arkiv made some small talk and left. He decided to check with the remaining Players and see when they will come.

He is the only one who tried to have contact with the former teammates in the second palace of inheritance. Not all of them talked to him when he reached out, but there are three more people.

After he left, Sam has sat on the chair once again and felt rather vexed.

The box is taking too much of his time. Actually, he could have unlocked that in the Divine dimension, not only would he save time, he would also be able to use the simulation inside. But he just doesn’t want to go inside this fast.

He has been spending an awful lot of time inside this since his plans to get these boxes, even though it is saving him time, he also figured out that he is losing his sense of time. His body for some reason is not aging in the divine dimension. But his mind is aging.

He doesn’t want to experience that for some time. Simply put he wants a break. But sometimes, one has to do what they need rather than what they want.

After some thought, he decided to proceed with the box opening inside the divine dimension which means he is confident that it would be cracked in the next two days.
