Alka's room was at the rear of the captain's cabin aboard the 'Treasure Harvest'.
He had just opened his eyes, having been in bed. He wasn't actually sleeping. Judging by his sweat-drenched forehead, it was evident he had been engaged in rapid Meditation.
With the Dream Catcher, Meditation became more efficient, providing an acceleration effect even before reaching the Three Spirals. Rapid Meditation placed a certain strain on his constitution, but fortunately, it only resulted in increased fatigue.
He could feel he was making progress. In another two or three days, he should reach the Three Spirals and achieve First Stage Perfection.
After freshening up, Alka went up to the deck.
On deck, Chadite was fervently rubbing his face against the cheeks of a gothic doll with a two-head body proportion.
"AAAHHH, Lucilia, you're so cute!"
"Is that so? Is that so?" Lucilia, showing no disdain, asked happily. Her voice was child-like and sweet.
