Chapter 104 - Short Story- The First Life

The chaos continent is the end destination of multiple regions within the continent of Caro. All of does who can no longer grow in strength in their respective regions go to the chaos continent in hope of becoming stronger and beating the central tower found on the continent.

There are currently 5 main regions in the Caro continent, does regions are Plains, Forest, mountains, Sand, and Islands. These regions have very little contact with each other, thanks to the dangerous seas and areas that separate them. But the regions know about each other, and trading sometimes happens between the regions or battles.

The people of these regions have developed very distinct cultures, religions, and power systems. These regions do have some things in common, that is the presence of the human race, mythical energy they can use, and a connection with mythical ancient races.

The chaos continent is a very dangerous place, with monsters of immense strength and stature. The remnants of ancient civilizations can still be seen in this content. Only a few places have living civilizations in them. One of these places is the starting port of the plains region.

A city that has been built by using the combined effort of all the sects and clans within the plains region. Another place with living civilization is the large city that surrounds the central tower. This city was not built by the regions, but it was found by explorers.

This large city is divided into three districts separated by large black stone walls. Well-crafted mythical and magical barriers protect the city from the large flying monsters that inhibit this continent. The architecture of the city is very futuristic and well made.

In one of the large buildings within the first layer of the city. This building serves as a hotel for does who have not been able to fight against the nature of this continent and make their own state. Does that are able to do such a feat are called ##$*N# by does that could not !@##^#.

This hotel had three classes of living standards, the first, second, and third rank. Model after the own class disparity created by the city district. Within the walls of one of the first-rank rooms, lays a woman with short black hair and gray color eyes. The is badly dressed, in the sense that her clothing is of bad quality.

This woman has fair white skin, as she has not spent that much time under the hot sun. But the woman does have deep ugly scars around her body. A testament to the abuse she has suffered so far, by none other than her dear cousin.

"Oh Xinyan…how much I wish you just die and suffer for what you have done"

The woman, no Zhihui said. Her eyes are full of anger and hatred. It has been countless years since she was put in this situation. The fall of her sect and clan, followed by the deaths of her parents, and her cousin casting a slavery spell on her.

She could still remember the day everything went to shit as clear as day. The news came forward that her parents die in a monster attack done on their carriage. But how could the two strongest cultivators within the sect die against monsters when they were not in a High QI area?

So a call to investigate her parent's death was demanded. But none really care about that, no it was right to say that the new sect and Wu clan leader did not. Xinyan did not care about her uncle and aunt's death. To the point that even Zhihui, who thought of her cousin as a sister was curious as to why she was acting that way.

But that day she was greeted by nothing more than the biggest betrayal in her life. As she was forced to be under Xinyan's heel, as nothing more than a loyal slave. Zhihui could do nothing but watch as her cousin got stronger, forced to be a meat shield for her cousin's party, forced to smile as she watch her beloved sect and clan be sold out to foreign powers.

Now, after years of force service, her hatred for Xinyan did not end. She would always pray to any God out there for the fall of her cousin before going to sleep. Tears slowly form at the corners of Zhihui eyes, as she falls asleep on her crappy and poor bed.

She falls asleep wishing for her cousin's downfall but also thinking of her dead parents and servants. Only waking up as the sun rises, she knew that today will be another crappy and horrible day. Forced to work as her cousin's slave till her last breath.

Like this Zhihui went again and met with her cousin, as she was forced to take of her cousin every little need. Force to carry her cousin and party equipment. Like this, in their shadows seeing them talk with smiles on their faces. Zhihui follows her cousin's party.

Passing by other parties and the large gates that separate the city's districts. Soon they reach a large marble and stone plaza, with a long and wide tower. No one knew who made this tower or how many floors there are. But they knew that with each floor they conquer they will gain more strength and resources.

Strong-looking metal golems guard the four entrances of this large tower. As Xinyan's party comes closer to these metal guards, the guards scan them, after finishing the scan that no one knew what it was looking for, the party was allowed to enter the tower. The metal guards push open the large stone double doors of this tower, showing nothing but an ever-expanding and consuming darkness.

They enter one of the many floors of this large tower, fighting through countless monsters and solving environment puzzles. The monsters on this floor were weir lizard-like monstrosities and the environment of large mountains. As they reach the boss room of this floor, the party confidence was at an all-time high. Happy that they have taken very little damage, their meat shield has been very helpful today.

They open the large intimidating double door of this floor. In the middle of this room is a monster beyond comprehension. A beast of scales and flesh. Having multiple lizard legs and wings. Countless arms and legs come out of its giant body. The eyes in the lizard's heads open up as they land on the party. The words of a higher being shook their soul and body.

The words are so advanced they could not even understand them, no, they don't want to understand them. Fear took over their body, what they were facing is an ancient monster, older than them, older that the tower, older that the 'World'. This monstrosity, this Draconic being roars with power. Shaking the tower and the party.

With fear clouding their minds and only wanting to preserve their own lives, the party runs away. Zhihui was about to follow the party till her dear cousin gave her final order.

"Stay behind and fight that thing!"

Scream her cousin, the spell that has been placed on Zhihui took place. As her body moves against her will and rushes the Draconic monster. Tears run down Zhihui's face as she lunches countless blue fireball attacks at the monster's body. Her attacks easily hit its massive body.

The fireball explodes on contact, consuming more parts of this monster scale cover body. As the explosion clears away, it reveals that no harm has been done to the monster. Its scales without even a scratch or burn. This monster is way above her current stage and strength. This monster is nothing more than an old---

Her thoughts were cut short as her life ended without her even knowing. Opening her eyes to a dark room, a male sat up next to her. She knew who this male was, as she slowly calls out to her husband.

"um…something wrong Mors?"

"Oh…no sorry, I hope I did not wake you up. I just had a dream about my past life."

"um….what a coincidence, I did as well"
