While travelling, i found pretty amusing stuff ..
The world we are living in is just a stepping stone for otherworlders...
The otherworlders come to save us from monsters in the dungeons only to go to the next world... Its something like a building.... We reside at the ground floor - our world, and adventurers need to go to different worlds (like 1st floor, 2nd floor) till they reach the final world - 100th world.. the world of the most powerful Godly Society "TRANQUILL GARDENS"
It goes like this according to my understanding:
Worlds 1 to 10 are guarded by World Boss Seb, an otherworlder.. residing on world no. 10
Worlds 11 to 20 are guarded by Lower Godly society "XEBEC"
Worlds 21 to 30 are guarded by Lower Godly society "Ambria"
Worlds 31 to 40 are yet again, guarded by Otherworlder named "Sun-hoo-yeon"
41 to 50 by GODLY SOCIETY "VIRTUES"
51 to 60 by GODLY SOCIETY "ELOHIM"
61 to 70 by GODLY SOCIETY "CHERUBIM"
71 to 80 by Otherworlder "AERIA"
81 to 90 by GODLY SOCIETY "SERAPHIM"
91 to 100 by GODLY SOCIETY "TRANQUILL GARDENS"
Hmm.. glad to hear it... but who are you? I have heard you a couple of times before.. but that wasn't the time to ask...
< I am your skill... HIGHER SAGE, and i can respond to whatever you ask, providing you the best solutions with proper reasoning >
Ah I see... Pretty convinient being honest... But i may slack off if i rely too much on you, so please interfere when the situation itself is dire
< Understood, Master >
'Master' huh.. seems like it acknowledges me... Wait now's not the time..
"So... Miss Lark.. How did you know all these stuffs?" I raised a question while travelling to look for people alive
"Well I couldn't figure these out by myself... One of the two survivors is an otherworlder... He said these.. How are you so calm after hearing our living is just someone's stepping stone?"
Well she is right and wrong
"We need to analyze and prepare accordingly... Nothing will be fixed if one raises doubts ... If we have a lead, we need to analyze and prepare our next best suited actions... Leave this small talk, where is the last Survivor? Knowing that the 3rd survivor is well.. all we have to do is find the last survivor and discuss our next course of plan"
She hesitated for a moment
"The last survivor is in Sylstia..."
Hmm.. our world has 4 countries .. we live in Astraea which lies in South.... Trysta in the West, Histia in the East, and finally Sylstia in the North... Tch, its far
By the way How did the third surviving guy got to know that only 4 survived?
Ah it sure is reliable
Evening was drawing in and it looks like Miss Lark is experiencing fatigue...
"Should we call it a day Miss Lark? We almost reached our border..."
"Yeah i need some rest, and ... Food, by the way, you can drop the formalities, after travelling with you to almost our border, it seems you are reliable and trustworthy, call me Aurora" Aurora said with a genuine smile
"Alright Aurora, you can call me Ragnar then"
"Looking forward to your co operation, Ragnar"
"Likewise" I replied with a relief of sigh... Finally time to rest huh
We found a cave to spend the night. It was a bit chilly, and since we had no blankets, i decided to lend her my coat
"Since it's not safe, i will be watching the surroundings, you may sleep" I broke the silence which was too long after she received my coat
"I accept the offer, but once you are tired just wake me up, i will be watching the surroundings"
"Sounds good" And so this way.. the Hellish night began.....
