Chapter 32
(Story from the past, Pt 3)
Jake the Survivor Pov:
In this new world we first came upon an island, as the water started rising. It seems the gods did not want lots of governments and kingdoms on a single continent. There were many beasts and the gods had one last bit of information for us.
"In this world the people living here just think of you as any other. We have put in some humans, random actually from the last year of conflict that died. They will be reborn over the next seventy five years. There are humans in this world, but not a lot, so that is our reasoning. As we said the world will be made up into ten sections. You may be in any but it will be hard to travel between them. This world is currently in the year Zero as it just began a new Era, everyone in this world thinks that. Now please treat this world with better care than the last, the god of creation can only do so much," The god said.
Now in this world WIFI and any sophisticated technology did not exist. The century of our old world that this is in could be a cross from the technology of 1000 CE and government system from 1800 CE. The technology on our island changed into an equivalent of that time as well. There are many types of buildings and I intend to see them all, I am a builder after all. So I could not use most technology.
Now as we were in a new world the council, that I had put together, decided we needed a president. But as I had told them time and time again, I will not be the president, it only leads to bad things for me. I left them at a giant island with no inhabitants for them to create their own nation. I left the town by myself to discover the world and hide the forbidden book I mentioned earlier.
I met many people of different Races over the next decade of my life. When I was thirty two I had finally seen all I wanted and found where to hide the book. The gods had all given me gifts to the max, and magic to the max, along with skills. I don't know why but I didn't complain and I went to the dungeon. At this time my Mana was at the Light blue stage and that was considered a great feat. Only a hundred people have silver mana, and only a handful white, so those who found out celebrated. Because of that when I entered the dungeon, everything trembled at the sight of me.
I got to the bottom and found the boss who thought he could not be beat. It had taken me another year to go down all ———-—— floors due to the sheer size of the dungeon. The —th floor had a A-class beast as it's guardian, the —th a S-class beast, the —th a SS class beast, and the final one being something part Human, a Beast-kin.
There were actually two of them, the one was a beast that in our world disappeared 10,000 years ago. But it was in humanoid form, or Beast-kin as this world called it. She said her name was Cariona. She was most likely above all - Class beasts. As it turns out her species is also hunted in this world by humans and others.
The other one was something only told of in fairy tales, a Dragon. But this one was a Beast-kin, I knew at once it was more powerful than the one guarding the —th floor. She said her name was Chakora ———. She was definitely above - Class. There were few of her species as they were feared for being more powerful than Dragons.
They had thought I had come to destroy the dungeon, so they attacked me. They were much stronger, most likely having White Mana, unlike me who had Light blue. Knowing I could not defeat them without silver, I retreated. I trained for the next two decades defeating the various monsters in the dungeon.
I had spent twenty years in the dungeon, I had gotten so good I could travel between the floors instantly. I had thought that I may die if I gauged wrong, so I worked until I had the highest Mana possible, White. I went back to the final floor to reface the monsters as some would call them.
By now my hair was going partially grey, I hadn't cut it so it went all the way down to the ground almost. My beard, and mustache had also grown a substantial amount, down to the ground. It would get in the way so I cut my beard and mustache a little so it was above my waist. I crafted new Armor and weapons and entered the final floor in stealth.
But when I entered I saw that they had children, around 17 years old, I thought about my past, and tried to leave. No matter how small life it is, if it is not of age, it should not be killed or fought. That would only lead to danger and battles of the sort. The adults had went to make dinner and I tried to leave, but the children saw me.
I tried to make a run for it, but I couldn't with the kids hanging onto me. So, I sat down and awaited judgment as I played with the kids. The parents wondering what the kids were up to came out to see me playing with them. It was the two form before, they had barley aged a day it seemed.
Turns out - Class beasts can do ———- ——————. They came over and said they had judged me wrong last time. But I calmed them over responding, "No, its alright. I was intruding when I just wanted to hide something dangerous. This was the most dangerous place I could find. I didn't mean to intrude. Plus, after the life I have lived, I would never hurt children or their parents." I cried at the last part remembering my past.
They understood that and showed me to a place that I could hide it. I couldn't destroy information as it would one time be needed. After that something that I will not share in this journal happened. Though it will be in the library mentioned later on.
I stayed for a bit and played with the kids before leaving. During that time they taught me the languages of this world. I had learned Exodium through my travel and as it was a gift from the gods when entering this world. I learned all I could from them before I left. I returned to the surface for the first time in twenty years.
