As I pressed yes, an interface hovered before me almost instantly.

I stared at the preview for a long moment.
More swamp.
Of course it was more swamp.
I had expected as much.
With a quiet resignation, I closed the interface,the kind a man wears when he has already drained one swamp and is fully prepared to drain another.
"Two more inhabitants… to expand."
That was the gap between where I stood and the next threshold.
Two more living beings.
Or perhaps… I could simply summon them.
I still had one Normal Summon Ticket and an Epic Summon Ticket sitting in my inventory.
I intended to use them.
But first, the results of these ten days deserved acknowledgment.
