"At first I decided to go North... I didn't have any particular reason to do so, I just went in what I thought would be an easier direction to find a bit of civilization."~Alt Jin Book Page 3~
"I did indeed found civilization, but not the Good Kind. Slaver capture me, and I was sold like some kind of object. I never hated a group of people so much in my life like I hated those slavers. The day I led a rebellion and slaughtered them was honestly one of the best and most satisfying days of my life. Whatever said that vengeance isn't worth it, is full of shit." ~Alt Jin Book Page 3~
"Ah... do be aware that I didn't stay much in the desert afterward. But I did indeed heard some rumor that I can write down for you. Apparently, the desert was particularly a very deadly place in the time I spawned on it, full of slavers, purple worms, cultists, arch scorpions, desert lizards, wraiths, and a bunch of other things. My advice? Get out of that deathtrap called a desert as fast as you can. I guess I can at least thank those cursed slavers for getting me out of there fast. But do be a good samaritan and get rid of them for me if you end up finding them, the fewer slavers the better after all." ~Alt Jin Book Page 3~
Get on the ground I let out a sigh of relief. Finally, that shit worm left em alone giving me some room to breathe. Getting on the ground I sat there for a moment, the ground is made of both stone and sad, sadly the stone appears to be very old and worn out, probably due to the amount of sand and sandstorms it had to handle over the years.
Thankful I didn't encounter any sandstorm until now, it would surely be a huge headache to be hit by one of those.
I just jinxed myself, didn't I?
Suddenly, my ears pick up a *wooshing* sound in the distance, like some huge winds started to accumulate in one place and are moving at incredibly high speeds. I look back, and even if I can't see shit past the 10 meters mark I was able to see a huge blur of colors shaped like a furious moving cloud of sand advancing towards me with a staggering speed.
*Sigh* Can't you give me a fucking break? I just wanted 5 fucking minutes for me to at least rest for a bit.
Whatever. Now I have some limited time to try to open this shitty door and hide from the sandstorm coming at me. With my [Sharingan] active I observed the door to the best of my abilities.
The door had an interesting color scheme of both black and grew, black colored the most part of the door, while grey colored painted some strange engraving on it. First, I didn't think much of it, but then I saw an engraving of a skull with two bones hands holding it up, at the base of the arms there are some bone fragments forming an uneven circle. The engraving looked very macabre, and whatever is behind this door isn't goo people...
Why I am not surprised? Why can't a cult to Mara, or Arkan be here in the middle of the desert... Okay, I think I just answered my own question there. Only shady people would hide their base in the desert...
But this symbol can't stop bugging me...I know this symbol from somewhere... I swear I saw it, and its name should be on the tip of my tongue but it is somehow escaping my grasp... What was it...
I got closer to the symbol, the winds of the sandstorm raging behind my back showing that the sandstorm was closer and closer. I started going over some of my memories about symbols until I went to my past life memories...
They were painfully... It was difficult to get over my first family death, but my second life's family(Yang Family) did help me a lot in the start, only for them all to die yet again... *Sigh* You can't help it can you Yang Jin? It almost like life gets a kick out of killing people you love. Deep breath, cycling my cultivation technique while both [Ripple] and [Ki] mixed together travels through my body. And them...
*Slap*
Stoping being a depressive mess Yang Jin. You promised yourself that you would at least try to live for yourself for once. Death is a natural part of life, and they are long dead, and probably already in the cycle of reincarnation... I just hope they all are able to have happy lives...
Unbeknownst to Jin, a Golden Colored God has long since guaranteed the happiness of his families in their next lives. Thanks to the Golden God influence All of them were able to find happiness and are currently living very peaceful and fulfilling lives.
Concentrate Jin... You have more important things to worry about now. Like the giant sandstorm getting closer and closer, or the undead symbol in front of you... That is it, undead, Mannimarco, it the frigging Order Of The Black Worm. The shitty undead cult of Mannimarco the King of Worms.
Well, let's see... Do return to the death trap that is the desert... Or I try my hands at a dungeon full of necromancers from the Order Of The Black Worm... Hmmm... Decisions...
*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Guess the approaching sandstorm didn't give me much choice in the matter. Well... At least I won't have to deal with sand anymore right?
As the not so much master Skywalker used to say "I Don't Like Sand. It's Course And Rough And Irritating. And It Gets Everywhere." ~Not Master Skywalker ~
I immediately went to try to find a way to open the door. Sadly there are no handles or keyholes, and the door didn't open when I used my strength to push it. This shitty door is worse than the Dark Brotherhood Falkreach sanctuary door. I remember how much I hated that doo the first time I played the game, I didn't have good English at the time so I had to keep save scumming until I selected the correct option. I honestly feel like strangling my past self for not simply opening up google translate and end my suffering, but apparently, I was too stubborn.
Wait... What if this door is like the one of the dark brotherhood? It doesn't hurt to try. Touching the skull symbol I suddenly heard a voice, the voice sounded dry, raspy, and some sound that would exit a zombie's mouth. The symbol started shining for a bit.
"What is the Joy of Life?"(Door)
What is the Joy of Life? hmmm... I could answer something like family? Learning? Adventure? Growing up? But I am pretty certain an order of edgy necromancer wouldn't put something like that as the answer. Edgy, emo, knives, blood, death... That is it, I don't see any better answer than this.
"Death"(Jin).
Wow my voice sounds pretty strange, it was dry, coarse, but way more grave. If I had to describe it with one word it would be "manly". At least it matches with my big and very muscled body...
Unfortunately, it appears that I got it wrong because the symbol stopped shining and the door didn't open. The Sandstorm finally got close enough that I started to feel some sand was already filling and flying on my vision, I must be on the border of it right now. Fuck, let's try this shit again. I touched the symbol once more, and it repeated the same question.
"What is the Joy of Life?"(Door)
The dead voice sounded again. And this time I think about it a little bit more... If Death wasn't the answer then it must be something else, but I don't believe these necromancers would choose something that far from death as an answer. With how much they love undead I would not be surprised if they are into necrophilia. Yeah, that is as disgusting as it sounds to mee too.
Wait... If they love undead that much... Maybe that is the answer?
"Undeath."(Jin).
"Welcome home."(Door).
The door immediately answered, and it started opening up, without missing a bit I entered the dark, damp necromancer-filled dungeon. The Sandstorm appeared to have reached some kind of pick because it became louder and louder, sand was flying aggressively everywhere obscuring the scorching sun in the sky.
But apparently, the door was enchanted because even if it was opened the sand still couldn't pass through it. I just breathed a sigh of relief while the door closed behind me. Finally, some time to breathe.
Yeah, I am aware they may have some kind of magic alert system, and they may send someone to check it out. But I couldn't care less right now, I just want a fucking minute to myself for me to take a deep breath without interruptions and calm down a bit.
I just sat in the cold stone ground of the damp and dark cave, my back resting in the now-closed door. I momentarily close my eyes and enter a meditative state, focusing mostly inwards. I just want to rest for a fucking minute. Yeah, I know it is stupid doing this in the enemy territory, but I couldn't care less right now.
I just want to rest and think for a bit. I've been running for hours from that shitty worm, and I spend almost two days in the scorching desert without seeing any form of life besides the worm. I honestly just want a little bit of time without having to handle the big bad sun mocking my white and easily burnt skin.
I let my mind relax for a bit while I keep cycling my mix of [Ki] and [Ripple] with my cultivation technique. Now that I think about it... I should give a name to the mix of [Ripple] and [Ki], it's honestly getting irritating having to mention it every time.
Hmm, a good name... Ripple, shockwave, ripple can travel pretty goo on the water... I think I got it, I will call the mix between [Ripple] and [Ki] [Wave]. [Wave] hmm, seems like a pretty good name, it's simple short, and to the point. I like it.
Suddenly some strange noise snapped me out of my thoughts... It sounds like the rattle of bones? I couldn't help but smile a little. Yeah, I admit I am acting a little bit overconfidently, but come one... I am a [ripple] user against Undead. A frigging [Ripple] user against the undead, it's like sending a pyromaniac to a dry forest. If I was in pokemon it is like I have literally the 4x attribute advantage here.
*Rattle*
The rattle sound drew closer and closer. I opened my eyes, [Sharingan] blazing, a menacing shine to it. And if everyone was focusing on the white of my eyes they would swear they saw some yellow electricity coursing through it.
I couldn't see much, but I am probably in a hall for orts, sadly my sight has limited range. But thankful my [Sharingan] can easily see in the dark.
With a wordless jump, I was already standing and with my guard up. With a fluid motion, I coated my hands with [Wave] and waited for the undead skeleton to arrive. Suddenly at the faraway corner of the hall, I was sitting, a white blur appeared, probably the skeleton, and considering it has some blue outlines on it, it's probably being animated and controlled right now.
Without even waiting for anything to happen I dash forward using [Advance Step], and with a burst of speed, I sent a straight right punch towards the skeleton.
My punch hit the surprised undead like a hot knife through butter. I didn't simply destroy the skeleton, I melted through it. Of course, the weak skeleton immediately died and started becoming ashes...
Fuck, [Ripple] and [Wave] are simple too frigging effective against undead.
