[Deep World(Tier 5)]
- Description: A world within another world, called "Kraterra", there is no surface, there is no sun or moon, night or day, just a hollow and deeper world, with great scarcity of food, along with dangers infinites of the Hordes of the Deep!
This is a world of endless war and enemies, born from the corrupt energy of chaos, which spring from the Deep Rifts, home to many dangers and riches!
- Danger Note: This is a huge and strange world, there is no kindness in this world, the Human, Elf and Dwarf population is extremely low, in return there are an infinite amount of aberrant monsters capable of destroying entire cities!
Adriana decided on "Deep World" because she found it interesting, a world that has no surface…
"System, how exactly does it work?" - Adriana was very confused as it makes no sense!
A world needs atmosphere, gravity, etc., as such a surface is a must-have, so… it doesn't make sense for a world not to have a surface, even though it appears to be a kind of hollow world.
[It is not a circular planet, as well as it does not follow the conventional rules of the law of physics or astronomy! Chaos destroyed any possible notion!]
Adriana was even more confused and the System said.
[The world is technically flat, having multiple layers!]
"I see… so it has an edge?" - Asked Adriana smiling.
[No, the world is surrounded by thick walls of pure chaos energy, only beings above Tier 6 would be able to destroy it!]
"I see... ok, let's have a look, but tell me more about civilization, how exactly did it develop?"
[The civilization of Kraterra has evolved with better bodies and lifespans than their counterparts on other worlds, but in return, due to the lack of certain vitamins, which have been exchanged for others, it is easy to find "deformed" beings born, even if contain greater physical power or other capabilities.]
[Its technological level is varied, but the main one would be a Steampunk theme.]
Adriana nodded, soon she found herself standing in a barren and purple land, at first she felt a slightly uncomfortable energy.
"Our! What a weird feeling, what is it?" - Asked Adriana shuddering confused.
[Chaos Energy!]
Adriana didn't say anything else, she kept walking and looking at the [Map], quickly found lifeforms and went to have a look.
At first she found grotesque creatures that seem to have come from horror movies, large physiques, long and thin limbs, an ugly and scary face that even resembles a Wendigo.
[Creature of the Depths, Dronaar(Lv.115) – HP: 200%]
'Huh? 200?!' - Adriana was amazed seeing them with 200% HP, that doesn't make sense!
Altogether there are 13 creatures, levels 110~140.
Without waiting any longer, Adriana advanced, immediately attracting their attention, which let out a strange howl and dark sounds that made the hairs stand on end.
Then Adriana saw how immediately they aimed to surround her, and then she began to feel some kind of energy affecting her senses, but she recovered quickly.
"Interesting… mental attacks?" - Adriana wondered, while the Dronaar advanced, aiming to tear her apart with their sharp claws.
Adriana watched as the claws came at her, then she raised her hand and manifested her gluttony as a protective barrier.
The attacks fell on her and… she was amazed at the Dronaar's ability to pass through her defenses, of course, it didn't destroy them, but it did serious damage, even though it was 1 Tier below hers.
"Strange, they do 2-3 times more damage than they should… no… are they able to bypass defenses? That's not it either…"-Adriana was investigating while being hit, until she finally decided to attack.
Several spikes shot out, piercing their thin and bony bodies, but… it didn't kill them right away!
Adriana raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding. - "The Chaos Energy, I believe, is something capable of affecting other energies, annulling them to a certain extent? So if I face a Tier 3 creature, it potentially nullifies my gluttony?"
Adriana was stunned by this revelation.
Soon she imprisoned the creatures using chains of her manifestation, where she noticed that the chains were gradually getting weaker, her energy loss was drastic.
"It's not that…" - Said Adriana frowning, soon manifesting a current, but attached to nothing and the effect was the same.
"It's this world! Somehow… the energy I manipulate is running… very interesting!" - Adriana smiled and soon devoured the 13 Dronaar.
Their "taste" is something spicy, that is, it is not taste, but pain!
Of course, it wasn't harmful, but Adriana could feel that she didn't like it very much, of course she can get stronger, but it would be better to avoid it for now.
"System, when will I gain Chaos Resistance?" - Asked Adriana smiling.
[Does not exist!]
"No?" - Adriana was confused.
[The "Chaos" is a volatile energy that one cannot control, one cannot avoid or overcome, only equalize!]
[The "Chaos" is the energy that goes against all rules and laws that exist, giving birth to strange and illogical beings that could destroy entire worlds in the instant they became aware!]
[Any and all energy other than "Chaos", is derived from "Order", the opposite of Chaos!]
[The "Order" is what makes up the universes as a whole, giving meaning to something, rules, a balance! "Chaos" is the opposite!]
Adriana's jaw dropped, because that's pretty impressive, but also scary.
"So that means my [Void] belongs to [Order]? As well as Negative Energy?" - Asked Adriana curious.
[Yes! The "Chaos" is just that, chaos! There is no derivative of it, only it, everything else belongs to "Order", regardless of how good or evil an energy is, everything belongs to "Order"!]
"So it wouldn't be common for me to be able to match her since [Void] and [Gluttony] are very advanced powers, right?" - Asked Adriana.
[Wrong! The "Order" is not a simple energy, it is a concept that encompasses several other energies like a spider's web, thus bringing the perfect synergy, so unless you have control over all existing energies, bringing the perfect balance, only then it can be said that you have the "Order" under your control!]
Adriana scratched her chin, this is complex but interesting to see…
"You mean I didn't have to start over? Could I have stayed at Version 2.0, just training and getting more Powers?" Adriana frowned.
[It wouldn't be possible, to advance and become a Cosmic being linked to "Order", you need to have control over all types of energy except "Chaos", but you didn't have such an opportunity, due to the limitations of the System and lack of of options!]
[If the Player aims to have the "Order", it will not be a problem at the moment, since it is possible to integrate different types of energies through "Gluttony", but the System has no control over the "Order", so I cannot instruct you or give hints on how to achieve it!]
"Even you have no control over the [Order]?" - Adriana was surprised to hear that.
[Exactly! I have some control over "Chaos", but to call it control is an understatement, you could say that I am using it at the same time that it uses me, a beneficial situation, which guarantees me the opportunity to use aspects of the "Order" in the creation of worlds and variations, at this very moment, new types of energies are being studied and worlds focused on these energies created!]
Adriana's jaw dropped, the System is less incredible than it appears to be.
For Adriana, the System was a being capable of creating Gods, so she believed herself to be an individual above the Gods, but it seems not to be the case, it is just an extremely powerful God, but not invincible.
Little does Adriana know, that the System has many flaws, which he has been fixing and improving over the years and what protects him from beings even more superior than his mortal mind can think, is "Chaos".
It could be said that the System is a parasite of Chaos Energy, which does not care about it.
...
Adriana advanced through the region, finding mountains, space is gigantic, in height, the surface must be compared to the whole of the Earth's atmosphere, maybe a little bigger.
And the environment is not so dark, in fact there is something that gives a reddish and purple hue to the environment, the System informed him that they are traces of Chaos, which gives visibility.
And as she advanced, something curious happened… it started to rain!
Adriana was initially not worried, until the drops that fell on her body started to cause her hellish pain!
The environment as a whole was fine, it seemed to be normal water, but when it came into contact with his skin, it didn't physically hurt him, but caused him such enormous pain that it was crazy!
Quickly she manifested an umbrella, only to see that it was useless, these drops of water, carrying pure Chaos energy, meaning her Umbrella was corroded.
Quickly Adriana took items from her Inventory to cover herself, gaining some peace while looking for something to defend herself.
In the process she was attacked by a tiger-like creature, which appeared to be inverted, as instead of the flesh protecting its bones, it appeared that its skeleton protected all of its flesh.
The strange thing is that he is not ugly, in fact he is very handsome and cool, Adriana even wants to have one.
BOOOMMM!!
"OK! I WANT NO MORE!" - Adriana screamed when the damned Tiger literally launched an explosive beam through his mouth!
[Creature of the Depths, Sakati(Lv.233) – HP: 277%]
"Son of a bitch!" - Adriana growled, the problem itself was not the level of the creature, but the damn rain!
She can't even use her Magic to defend herself, as she will be corroded!
Growling, Adriana began to reach for her neck and arms, before the back of her neck, so she turned off all her senses of pain.
Soon she moved forward, no longer feeling the pain of the rain, but she knew it was eating away at her energy.
Fiercely it charged forward, the Sakati lashed out with its huge and heavy paw, causing the ground to rumble and sink with its attack!
Adriana dodged easily and fired a kick at her face, but she was the one who received the damage and not Sakati.
"Cum! That motherfucker is tough!" -Adriana said growling and propelling herself into the air and throwing another kick at Sakati's face, using her energy.
BANG!
The Sakati was forced to raise its head, but soon saliva began to drip from its mouth and fiercely attacked, its attack was abnormally fast, not even Adriana could react properly.
Her whole leg was bitten off, a critical hit was taken, taking almost 1/5 of her HP… almost 5,000 damage taken in one hit!
Adriana quickly retreated, she had lost a leg, but no blood came out, as soon as something started to blink and a new leg appeared.
"A little further up and he would have had my 3rd leg!" - Adriana said sighing, but the Sakati fiercely advanced, attacking with its paws frantically and making the ground give way.
Adriana snarled while retreating, Sakati's attack speed is extremely high, if it stays within range of its head, it is very likely that it will be snapped and not even notice.
She was thinking about how to react since she is at a complete disadvantage because of the rain.
Grunting, Adriana did the most sitting thing, run away!
But Sakati was not happy with its delicious prey running away and pursued it, as such, its large and flexible body was dodging larger trees, knocking down smaller ones and like an unstoppable beast, it was chasing Adriana.
Adriana cursed as she wielded her [Gluttony Power], enhancing her attributes and she kept running, but it seemed that it only matched her in speed with the damn thing!
But running, Adriana noticed something, that her senses were returning, that is, the pain!
It was light, but she could already feel the hell that awaited her, so she quickly suppressed her senses again as she ran.
And running, she noticed that she reached a new area, as her breath created a cloud of icy smoke, her body also started to shudder and the environment as a whole had changed from an ordinary forest to a snowy forest!
Snarling, she looked back to see that damned bone tiger running after her with its tongue hanging out. - "GET OUT OF HERE CRAZY! ALL DAY THIS!"
(Note: "Todo dia Isso" is a Brazilian meme, of a running skeleton.)
She kept moving forward and looking for something, she tried to use her Mana but saw that it was snowing and it has the damn effect that rain does. - "HE IS GOING TO SCREW IT UP!"
Adriana growled angrily, where suddenly an explosion hit her back, she forgot about that shit!
Her body was catapulted forward and soon she landed on a frozen river, she struggled to get up, even though she didn't feel anything, her body was having difficulties, since the icy environment was leaving her with serious difficulties.
When she looked to the side, she saw Sakati advancing with a triumphant look full of arrogance, as if he was about to have a delicious meal.
Gritting her teeth, Adriana stood up, opened her arms and all of her Mana and Stamina converged, where the Sakati soon saw two huge hands manifest, but begin to melt.
But to get around that, Adriana was injecting more and more energy, spending practically 80% of everything she had, formulating these hands, which fiercely closed against Sakati!
ROAR!!
The Sakati roared painfully with so much pressure, he was confused, but he struggled while Adriana, clenching her teeth, was twisting her hands, as if she were kneading loudly.
But soon her whole body shook intensely, she opened her mouth, before a shrill scream echoed, an intense cold dominated her, a pain that could not be compared to anything she had felt before.
At this moment, all of the System's skills couldn't take effect, not even his Cold Resistance, everything was useless!
Adriana dropped to her knees, where she began to convulse, she reached out her hand, wanting to open a portal, wanting one of her girls to save her.
Sakati was whimpering, but when he saw Adriana on the ground, he limped over to her in a rage, aiming to finish off that cursed woman who, even in her final moments, was a pain in the ass!
ROAR!!!
But at that moment a bestial roar rang out as a humanoid figure rushed forward, startling the Sakati who, unable to react, was grabbed, lifted and fiercely slammed into the river of ice.
The river was cracking with such an impact and the figure that appeared, continued to fiercely attack, throwing heavy punches, breaking Sakati's limbs and pulling out his bones with unparalleled brutality!
Finally the figure came to its feet, the dead Sakati, slowly sinking into the frozen, now cracked river.
Then from the river, something like fingers appeared, there were hundreds of them, quickly wrapping around the dead Sakati and pulling him under.
Some tried to lunge at the humanoid creature, who quickly backed away, then the fingers stopped and returned to the water.
The creature looked at Adriana convulsing, then took her and left!
(Note: Sorry for the 2,500 word chapter, it turns out I'm pretty tired from working and studying so much.)
