Sigh!

David let out a frustrated sigh. The bureaucracy and the blatant red tapism was really getting on his nerves.

Sighing once more, David told the man about his request and hoped that he could do things faster.

Hearing that David was looking for a building on Deadwood street, the information made the red haired man extremely happy.

Contrary to his appearance, the man was extremely quick in his actions, in just half an hour he finalized the agreement and handed a copy to David.

Walking through the streets of Deadwood City. David could finally relax, after working tirelessly for three years he had finally managed to save enough to complete his mission.

A window that constantly served as a grim reminder of his predicament looked especially pleasing to the eye today.

[Mission: Find a suitable place to establish the Bank.]

[Status: ongoing]

[Time left: 5 hours]

After taking a quick look, David willed for the window to disappear.

He still remembered the day when the window first popped in front of him. He was super excited at the prospect of finally being able to change his life with help of Crystallisation of life.

He had witnessed firsthand the magical powers of these things.

Overturning the mountains and flipping the sky with a single palm wasn't just empty talks.

But his dreams were crushed as soon as they were formed. His Crystallisation was weird, it didn't grant him the power that he needed but instead wanted him to lease a building at a prominent location.

Earning money in the city of Deadwood was difficult and for someone like him who didn't even have an offensive crystallization of life it was even harder.

But David couldn't afford to give up; he worked day and night and trained himself. Took up odd jobs every day and learned to hunt wild animals in the nearby forest.

Finally managing to save enough for this day.

Unknowingly, after walking for some time, David arrived at his destination.

The central area of Deadwood city.

Men and women dressed in luxurious clothing were moving back and forth on fully paved streets.

Each and every building was beautifully carved with exquisite designs of flowing petals and mythical monsters of various shapes and sizes looking incredibly awe inspiring.

After walking for another five minutes, David stopped in front of average-looking three-story building.

He used the key provided by the red haired man to open the gate and enter inside.

David was greeted by dust and spider webs, it appeared that the building hadn't been visited by anyone in the ages.

Hopefully, he didn't need to clean all of this.

"I would like to select this place."

David mentally yelled in an attempt to complete his mission. Even though it had been three years since his awakening, he still didn't properly understand how to communicate with his Crystallisation of life.

Whatever the case may be, the banking system seemed to understand his word and a floating window appeared in front of him following his words, and yes, he decided to call his Crystallisation of his life banking system as the former was too wordy.

Anyway, who even named this phenomenon Crystallisation of Life? They could have used some simpler words.

For example super destructive power, inner demon release, etc. these words were easier to pronounce and sounded cooler than Crystallization of life.

[The building had been successfully registered and recognised.]

[Transformation will begin in 5,4,3….]

David didn't have the time to understand the meaning behind those words and before he could, the world around started to twist and turn like a whirlpool.

A golden light flooded his vision out of nowhere. Under the wide opened eyes of David, the dust covered floor was replaced by white marble and the walls which were filled with cracks and moisture turned into shining walls made out of gold.

The boring ceiling which was waiting to fall at any time, was completely replaced by a circular design that caved inwards like a concave mirror, filled with murals of mythical dragons and mighty warriors with fierce momentum, looking extremely imposing.

The place looked almost unrecognizable!

[Transformation complete]

[Initial seed capital of 100,000 spirit stones is successfully deposited in your account.]

[Shop of Eternal Origin is permanently opened.]

[Status is successfully initialized]

[Origin Guard is successfully placed in your inventory.]

David's mind was flooded with a ton of information. He felt as if his mind was lagging

as the information was too much for him to process in an instant.

He took a deep breath to calm down his mind and go through the information that suddenly appeared in his head one by one.

After half an hour, in which David acted like a zombie, staring into the air while muttering incomprehensibly with a disgusting smile on his face. Thankfully there was no one witnessing this otherwise the consequences would have been… well let's not talk about it for the time being.

After going through the information David got a general idea of how the bank worked. Basically it was like a non-bank financial company that couldn't accept deposits from the public but could make advances.

But how he was going to make advances if he couldn't accept deposits was something worth thinking about.

And second most important thing was the function of "status" it allowed him to find investment opportunities to generate profit and how would that work.

Simply by paying a certain amount of spirit stones to the bank, he could find crucial information about anything.

David decided to test the feature on himself to get a better idea of it.

[Request for status report.]

[Target- Host]

[Cost-1000 spirit stones]

[Yes/No]

David proceeded to pay 1,000 thousand spirit stones, and a floating window appeared in front of him.

[Name- David Well-wisher

Cultivation- None

Crystallisation of Life- Bank of Eternal Origin, Domain of Zenith Sovereign.

Vitality- Low Body Refining Realm

Remark- physically strong but lacks the will to push himself beyond his limits, unsuitable for investment.]

David carefully scanned each and every word, and his lips couldn't help but twitch uncontrollably while reading the last line of paragraph.

But that wasn't really important. What really caught his eye and made his heartbeat accelerate was the information in the section of Crystallisation of Life.
