After Jake's body was blasted deep into the woods, the injured man lay in the pool of his blood, looking at the sky, as if he was waiting for something or someone. Moments later, multiple figures began to appear within the sky and descend.
All of these figures were wrapped in exquisite suits and all their faces were covered in intricately designed masks. The figures pinpointed the handsome man's location and soon landed on the ground in a circle around him.
"Do you think you could run from us? You stole the prime artefact of our God's Sanctum and you thought you could just escape with your life. I have to say, that the vagrants ar4e slowly growing cockier and cockier with time." The man who spoke wore a more detailed suit than others.
One could see that he was the leader of this group of ability users. He bowed down and stared at the dying man right in the eye.
" Where is the Destruction Saint's Blessing?" The figure asked in a serious voice.
The man who was slowly losing consciousness smiled at the figure and showed all 32 of his teeth. he then seems to have inhaled a good amount of air, before spitting right into the man's face.
One didn't know if it was an unfortunate event or the man didn't dodge the attack out of his own will, but the sp0it landed righṭ on top of the mask.
'Wouldn't you like to know where the blessing is? Why don't you accompany me to hell to find out?" The injured man suddenly raised his upper body in an attempt to bite at the man's face. The next moment though, his entire body was crushed into the ground by something.
When the injured man looked towards the weight, it was at the feet of another figure standing right next to the man asking questions.
" I will neglect the fact that you just spit directly on my face. I will give you one more chance. where is the artefact?" The man's voice was filled with bloodlust this time.
" Do you think I did that out of the fun? You go to hell before you find the artefact. It is lost forever, you motherfuckers." The injured man said.
The man who was holding him down, p[dressed his feet with such intensity that the nearly dead man coughed out a lot of blood on the floor. His face became white and everyone p[resent knew that he wouldn't be able to live for much longer.
The leader of the group grabbed the man's arm and applied his energy to it. The next moment though, nothing happened.
" he has sealed the artefact in the last residue of his power. Try to sense his energy signature around here." The people behind the two men nodded but moments later one of them replied.
"We couldn't sense his energy signature. it is lost." The man holding the corpse bashed his hands in the ground out of frustration.
"Instantly spread out and look around to try and find a location where he might have hidden the artefact. All of you will be punished if the artefact is not discovered soon enough." The people around there vanished the next second.
The man got up and raised his hands and a slimy like energy poured out of it covering the corpse below them. The next moment, the corpse was absorbed back into the man's hand.
" Find a vagrant base. Did they really think they could get away after stealing the strongest artefact of God's Sanctum?"
The man nodded and vanished te4h next moment, leaving the leader alone at the site. The next moment the fire appeared out of the figure's hand and burned the surrounding destroying any evidence of the corpse or the group of ability users.
He then vanished from the spot too.
.....................
Jake's eyelids began to flutter as his vision soon returned. There was a horrifying pain within his head and his body was sore from the last attack it had experienced. Jake found it extremely difficult to rise back up, and the first thing he did was to check his body up.
Surprisingly, he didn't find a single trace of any type of injury which was previously present and the soreness of his body was slowly decreasing with time. The only thing which remained was the severe pain in his head.
Once Jake was back on his body he rushed out of the woods. It was already the next day and he rushed towards the spot where he had found the handsome man. To his surprise though, thate4 place was completely burned off and there were cops surrounding the place completely.
There was no sign of the injured man anywhere, and Jake tried his best to gather information from the people around the scene. All he got to know was that a massive fire had suddenly engulfed the area and the cops were present here to survey the situation for a possible dungeon break here.
Jake was bewildered by the current situation. he was sure that every bit of memory he had of the past was all true. He sat in a secluded corner within the steps leading to the mountains and tried to make sense of what was happening.
He suddenly felt an intense pain within his skill and grabbed it with either of his hands to reduce the painful feeling. When the pain finally subsided a little and he was lowering his hands, he suddenly saw something etched in the internal area of his wrist.
It was shaped like a star with multiple intricate lines present within itself. Jake was sure that this wasn't present before yesterday and he tried to touch the etching. Just when he placed his fingers on the etching a voice suddenly popped in his head.
"The host has initiated the awakening process."
"Who is it?" Jake screamed and jumped up from his position, trying to inspect his surroundings for a possible figure. To his surprise, there was no one to be found around him. He sat back and then said to himself.
"What was that machine's voice? It felt like one of those AI systems talking." Jake remembered his experience from the news he had seen on TV while travelling through the streets.
"The host has initiated the system tab"

Jake was shocked to read such a long list of text, and the next moment he looked around to see the expression of the people around him. To his surprise, he seems to be the only one who could see this. Jake's curiosity took over his actions and he began to browse through the tabs.
