Chereads / Lost Castle / Chapter 2 - Sebastian

Chapter 2 - Sebastian

As Takashi woke up in an alleyway what he saw in Lost Castle surprised him.

Takashi saw a world like his, it wasn't exactly identical but the structures design, the peoples clothes etc., then he notices a man standing next to him.

[Oh! You're awake I see, I am Sebastian, I will be your guide in Lost Castle Mr.Sasagawa]

Said the man standing next to Takashi

[Where am I? Is this the Lost Castle the mysterious being was talking about? Also, what do you mean my guide?]

Takashi quickly replied

The man said

[Yes, this is the Lost Castle, it's what humans in the living world views as the afterlife I suppose as this is where souls go after death]

[As your guide I must explain some things about Lost Castle]

[Number 1, the Lost Castle is comprised of infinite worlds with their own space-time, so time in these worlds would flow differently from here, these worlds are known as "Dimensions" and the place we are on right now is known as "Central" as it is the only place where you can find gates to these "Dimensions", "Central" is also infinite in size that is why there is no full map for it]

[Number 2, only few gates appear every day, and they only appear in the dungeons, remember that once you go inside a gate you have to get out in 1 day or you'll be stranded there for ETERNITY, also, once someone enters a gate it will be completely inaccessible from Central, meaning no one else can enter, the gate will disappear after the person leaves or 1 day elapses, that is also why you need a special timer when entering these "Dimensions" that way you can keep trtack of how long you've been in the "Dimension"]

[What about these HP and Level things above my head]

Takashi interrupted

[Ahh! Yes, those, I almost forgot about those and your mission in Lost Castle, your mission in Lost Castle is to reach "Purgatory" the home of the Absolut Being, the Absolute Being is the only one who can bring you back to the living world, to do that you must defeat one of his "Angels" that comes down once a year, only Angels of the Absolute Being can bring you to Purgatory because Purgatory transcends Lost Castle, thus it is also the only place that can hold the Absolute Being without collapsing, those HP and Level are indicators of how strong you are, once your HP runs out you will die and respawn in Central with all of your progress gone, it's basically a restart when you die, also, you can access your inventory by saying "Access", you are given a basic dagger and sword after respawning which you can use to fight]

The man answered

{So it's like a game huh? HAHAHA}

{I'll beat this stupid game and get back to my family}

Takashi said in his mind

[We are currently in the town of Rakk, just like in the living world you can sell items you get from dungeons for Marmon]

*PS Note: Marmon is basically just the currency -DaiShori*

[There are 3 dungeons in Rakk town, Dungeon Quaves, I recommend you enter this after reaching level 10

Next is, Dungeon Sebot, this dungeon is for new comers, this is the dungeon you should go to first

Lastly is the Boss Dungeon, like the name suggests this dungeon holds a boss monster that respawns after a week of its death, it is worth a hefty some of Marmon.

Do not be afraid to fight wrong monsters because you can see the name and level of the monster above their head, only fight monsters the same level or lower than yours to be safe, do note, monsters your level are significantly weaker than you are so you shouldn't run into much trouble against them]

Said the man

[I shall go to the dungeons now, thank you for all your help mister]

Takashi said whilst bowing in gratitude

And so Takashi starts his journey in the Lost Castle.....
