Chereads / APOCALYPSE: SYSTEM OF GREED / Chapter 15 - THE UNKNOWN TRAIL

Chapter 15 - THE UNKNOWN TRAIL

Seraphine looked at the deriction of the explosion as she muttered something without knowing.

When the time and place is right you will see a light to show you the way.you will have to face a trail in which you will be given the choice of your life.the choice will be up to you and if you make the right decision you will be rewarded with my presence Infront of you.

I was confused by her mutters but I made sure to listened to it carefully.

(Choice huh?)

Seraphine didn't say any as she suddenly speed up and ran at that deriction.

Zeran was suprised by her sudden sprint so he tried to follow her with full speed.

Hey wait uhh. he sighed as he also speed up.

Zeran tried to use mana to increase his speed but no matter what he couldn't catch up to her.

Every second she would be hundreds of meters farther and further.

Zeran only saw how she disappeared from his sight even though he tried his best to catch up.

Seraphine got closer and closer to the explosion as she stopped at her tracks when she reached the place.

She stopped as she looked at the place of explosions.

All of the sorrunding buildings were completely fallen and destroyed because of that exploition.

And at the place of explosion a huge hole was formed that was shaped like a ball but something caught her eyes when she looked at that Hole.

A mysterious black ball that was a size of the a basketball.

She immediately jumped down to that hole as she looked at the mysterious black ball with seriousness.

She muttered a spell.

"INSPECT"

a holographic blue screen came Infront of her.

[MYSTERIOUS BALL]

[DESCRIPTION:A MYSTERIOUS BALL ]

She looked at the ball to find a clue on what to do with it.

She slowly gets closer to the ball with cautiousness.

She slowly touched the ball while holding the sword on another hand if danger were to come.

BANG!!

TUMBLE!TUMBLE!

UGH

Why the hell does this place have a huge hole in here.

Zeran slowly stood up from his place.

I guess I shouldn't have tried to maximise my speed by using mana I still don't haven't gotten full control over it.

I will be more careful on the future.

He slowly dusted off the dirt on his black shirt.

He looked to his side to see seraphine holding her sword in an attacking stance and her sword almost close to the back of his neck.

Zeran slowly holded his hands up in the air.

She withdrew her sword as she stepped back while glaring at him.

She didn't say anything as she went back and touched the black ball.

A kind of fragrant rosey smell came after she touched the black ball.

As I kept staring a huge chunk of rose pettles started to drop from the sky and with it a golden light struck both of them.

[DING YOU HAVE ENTERED A HIDDEN TRAIL]

[DING THE REWARDS FOR CLEARING THIS TRAIL WILL BE ??? ]

but an unknown voice came in.

[ZERAN?]

Our whole world started to change as the light struck us.

We were suddenly falling down on a white space.

Seraphine looked completely unfazed and only had a determined look.

While on the other hand zeran was suprised to see all of this and looked all over the place to see where they were going.

SWISH!

a red figure suddenly disappeared with a small voice.

[Good bye zeran eternus.]

Zeran immediately felt the gaze of someone as he looked back.

..

There was absolutely nothing there.

After a few moments.

As they kept falling zeran got bored of it so he just sitted down on the nothingness waiting to see where they were going.

So where are we going then?

...

Sera didn't say anything and only looked down.

He was getting bored of just sitting there doing nothing so he decided to just check the special gift box he had gotten from killing the boss monster.

[SPECIAL GIFT BOX]

[DESCRIPTION:A GIFT BOX THAT WAS GAINED AFTER BEING THE FIRST ONE TO KILL THE ZOMBIE BOSS IN YOUR REGION.

THIS BOX HAS A HIGH CHANCE OF GAINING SOMETHING RARE]

(I should probably not use it right now)

(My skill greed for power has a 50 percent increase in quantity so I will use it when my skill is not on cool down.)

He looked at his storage to see if he had something in there.

What?

He looked at his storage with confusion.

[1.10,000 KG OF CHICKEN MEAT

2.100,000 KG OF RICE

3.100 KG OF spices

4.10,000 LITERS OF WATER BOTTLES

5.1000 LITRES OF MILK

..

..

..

.

(When the hell did I get this stuff??)

(I never got it from my gift boxes or from anywhere)

(Wait if I remember correctly)

(Didn't the devil say something about doing something that I wasn't supposed to do?)

(Is this what I was doing? gaining the stuff on that convinence store?)

I don't even know how to actually put stuff on

Sto~

Zeran's voice immediately got caught off because of a sudden change in environment.

BANG!!

zeran slammed on the hard hard dirt floor because of the sudden change in environment.

Uggh not again.

He said that as he stood up.

[DING THE LAST PLAYER OF THE SPECIAL EVENT HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED]

Huh what?

He looked up to see lots of people staring at him.

Who is this guy?

I don't know I have never seen him.

Huh what's going on ?I thought there was supposed to be someone else coming here?

Zeran's heartbeat started to increase as he saw those people staring at him and judging

Him.

Hey Sera where are w~

He looked to his side to see no one was there.

His heartbeat increased drastically when he saw that there was no one by his side.

All of the people that were looking at him were disappointed to see him act like a wuss.

Zeran felt like he was about to be soffucated in this place.

His breathing got shorter and air was not going in his mouth.

Hoi are you listening are you there.

Zeran whispered slowly as he tried to call for the devil

....

He was getting no responses.

You can't talk to your god in this place.

A voice butted in.

He looked down with anxiety as he spoke.

Yes miss.

Zeran was not being able to look above or ask any questions here.

Humm oh no you don't need to be so formal.

The voice became softer.

I am aria.nice to meet you and what is your name?

Umm m.y na..m.e i.s zzzer..annn ummm.

All of the other people were glaring and mocked him.

Huh it seems this challenge has became a little more easier for us with a loser like him as the opponen.

They said as they all kept glaring at zeran.

Zeran's heart dropped down when he heard that.he felt his entire world tear down.

Aria looked at zeran with pity as she decided something.

Hey zeran why don't you join us? She said as she holded her hands to him.

Zeran couldn't move his body at all as he only looked at her hands.

PFFT a guy laughed in the back while looking at zeran.

(Come on zeran what are you doing someone is holding there hand towards just take it)

He slowly builded up confidence as he slowly gave her his hands.

Grab!

She grabbed his hands as she took him somewhere else while looking down.

Zeran was suprised by her pull but he decided to follow her.

She took him to a corner where noone would pay attention to.

Fuuu he sighed in relief as the people turned there attention.

(My social anxiety is still high even after all those years of therapy)

(I really am a loser aren't I?)

(Trying to find someone to relly on even after so many years)

He looked above to see the person that gave him her hand.

Aria, adorned in pink armor that seamlessly blends with a frock-like design, looked strikingly beautiful. Her pink hair cascaded down her shoulders, contrasting vividly with her delicate yet sturdy armor. As she pulled Zeran behind her, her expression was a mix of determination and grace. The armor, despite its protective purpose, accentuated her pretty features, making her look both fierce and enchanting. Her movements were fluid, the frock armor swaying with each step, giving her an air of elegance even in the midst of urgency.

(She is more pretty than I thought she would be I should thaiher for saving me)

tt.hhank yo.u

No problem I didn't want to see someone get judged and bullied just because they are nervous or socially awkward.

She said while biting her lips as she remembered her past.

No one should be bullied just because they look weak.

Zeran started to understand her as he felt a little more comfortable realising her way of talking was as if she was feeling remorseful.

(Why does she look so sad when I am the one that is being judged?)

He felt his heartbeat get slower and slower as his breathing got longer and calmer.
