The Calm Before the Storm
Nytri sits cross-legged on the 128th floor of the dungeon focused. She now has long black hair cascading over her shoulders as she concentrated on creating runic figures of different kinds. She compared them carefully, trying to decipher their meanings, muttering to herself as she observes their intricate details. She makes 2 different runic circles with the same or similar effects and compares them and she writes the meaning of each rune in the DATA LAKE as she goes.Nytri murmurs, "These runes are so fascinating," Her black eyes flicking back and forth between the different circles. "I wonder what kind of magic they could produce if used in the right way."Suddenly, her detection skill rang on the 13th floor, “Huh, what’s this all about?”. Nytri closes her eyes and use her clairvoyance to see what is happening. She peers into the upper levels, she sees demons gathering, their dark forms outlined against the flickering torches.Nytri shrugs, "Humph, it's none of my business," she mutt

The Search
On the demon continent with dark red skies, a big castle on a plain is home to a god. Zareth, the evil god, slammed his hands onto his obsidian table *BANG* causing a shockwave to ripple through the room. His underling demons flinch, knowing that their master is in a foul mood."Why was my army defeated?!" Zareth bellowed. "Who is responsible for this failure?!"The demon king, named Belzorath, steps forward cautiously. "My lord, we have investigated the matter thoroughly. It seems that a powerful monster was under the command of a young girl who attacked our troops unexpectedly."Zareth growls in frustration and slams his fist into the wall *BOOOM CRAACK* causing cracks to appear. "I will not tolerate failure!" he shouts. "Find out who this girl is and bring her to me! I want to know how she managed to defeat my army."Belzorath bows low. "As you command, my lord. I will personally lead a team to investigate this matter and report back to you."Belzorath left th

Clash in the Dungeon
In a week, Zareth arrives before the dungeon at night with no one around. The entrance is on a hill top surrounded by trees as down the hill is a building with guards around it. Zareth descends in a carriage pulled by dark horses. He gets out and walks towards the entrance to the Abyssal Sanctum, he stares at it. “So, the Abyssal Sanctum. Underwhelming, just the work of that god.” He walks into the dungeon.Nytri is on the 129th floor tinkering with the Clockwork Assassin, she is testing to see if it could access multiple dimensions at once when. *DUUHH!!* Immense pressure falls on Nytri, a chill runs down her spine. “What the heck is that?!” she runs to the 128th floor and sees Paxius staring at the ceiling in unbelief as he sits on his throne. 15 meters form.Nytri runs up to him “Paxius, what’s going on?!” clearly shaken from the pressure.Paxius keeps staring at the ceiling, “A god has descended into the dungeon.” He sighs. Nytri is shocked, “Why is a god here?

Journey into a New Realm
A Few Moments Earlier.Paxius is on the 117th floor. He shrinks down and hides behind a rock as Zareth is approaching that floor. His thoughts, “I just have to make it past him, then Nytri can teleport before me and run. I will do anything for my friend” He feels a powerful suffocating pressure on him as he holds his breathe. *TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP* he hears the tap of feet. He knows he stands no chance. The only way this ends well for Nytri is to help her escape. The tapping gets louder then dimmer meaning Zareth has passed. Paxius raises his head to check and he goes pale immediately. Zareth is only a meter before him staring into his eyes. Paxius tries to run but Zareth waves his hand as Paxius’ right arm is separated from his body and a force hits him into the wall. He is pulled from the wall and floats before Zareth.“A monster candidate for godhood? No matter, you’ll never be a god anyway.” He wavs him off as Paxius is slammed with another force and he coughs up blood as his bon

The New Realm
In another place, another realm entirely. A realm unlike the divine realm, a place no god would be caught dead in. In terms of danger, this realm ranked 1st. Nothing in this realm goes according to logic, in the distance is a waterfall which flows into the clouds. Above the clouds, a monster the size of a cargo ship is flying. Trees with colored leaves and some sentient enough to form a civilization. Some trees are ordinary but their leaves could cut Adamantine like butter. The monsters are were even stranger as some of them could reach 1 kilometer in height alone or even more. A single one of these monsters could destroy the whole earth in a few years, wiping out all life on it. This is the calamitous realm, The Monster Realm.Nytri slowly opens her eyes although dim, she could barely move a limb. She notices that below her is a pile of ash, and the ground around her has caved in as she lies inside. She notices the red skies as in the area 2 kilometers has light as the area bey

Clockwork Assassin Automata Mission 1
Nytri’s heart race as she is carried by her clones, she knows there’s no way to fight. She chooses to organize their movements with a strategy. They are in a forest as they can hear the sounds of fighting behind them. Nytri sends her focus to the DATA LAKE, she organizes the vision of her clones to form a 3D-live map of their surroundings. The map is made to span for thousands of kilometers which inadvertently created something else without her noticing.Nytri stands over the map as she sees herself being carried by the clones but there’s darkness around them. “Guys spread out. 10 should advance ahead in a straight line while the 5 spreads to my left and right. 2 Should move behind us incase we’re being followed and the last 2 should move to the sides of the first Me.” The clones move in that order as they spread out. 1 clone carried Nytri while the rest spread themselves enlarging the map. Clone12 prompts Nytri, “Hey, there’s the automata and golems with us.”Nytr

Shelter
The group heads for the spiky mountain after the golems and Assassins made recognizance. They reach the end of the forest before the mountain as the distance between the forest and mountain is 50 meters. There is a portion of the forest on the end of the mountain as the trees seem to have been broken and trampled. Clone10, she is carrying Nytri, she said something Nytri didn’t want to consider. “You don’t think the mountain moved, right?” Nytri shakes her head in the DATA LAKE, “Mountains don’t move, something the size of a mountain did this. There’re a lot of those monsters wondering around.” The group arrive at a side of the mountain, there are no caves.The first Clone to arrive at the mountain takes a gamble, “There’s no caves, I’ll make one. A golem for digging should do, minimize the EP as much as possible.” She makes a big drill as she starts to drill under the mountain, good choice. In 5 mins the second Clone arrives, she’s shocked to see what the other is

Surviving in the Unknown
Nytri whose been unconscious for a while suddenly wakes up, more like jolts up. “Yaagghhh!!” she had a sword ready. Clone1 stares at her and raises a brow, “Finally up, sleeping beauty.” Clone2 is tending to food by the fire, “You’d fit it fine if not for the drool.” Nytri wipes her mouth then looks around her, “Mind filling me in?” Clone4 enters the cave, “I’ll fill you in.” Clone4 unsummoned herself and all her experiences are transferred to Nytri. Nytri is surprised, “Dang. Sorry I left you guys like that.” Nytri bows. Clone3 chuckles, “Don’t worry about it me. Besides you were pretty hurt and lost a lot of blood when we arrived here.” Clone3 throws meat towards Nytri as she catches it and starts to dig in. Nytri still couldn’t understand something, “Why did they notice me only when I used my energy?"Clone1 lies down, “Perhaps they were tracking our energy signature. We’ve known for a while that everyone has a unique wavelength their EP works on

Research 101: EP usage
In the research room, the research team get to work. Clone1 is trying to figure out why they got detected the moment they used EP, while the rest focus on innovation and development. Clone1 stands in an open place with stone dummies before her, “There has to be something I’m missing. The monsters here can detect EP even when I’m stealthy, how do they notice.” She raises her hands towards a stone dummy, “I’ll make a fireball and observe it, maybe the EP for fireball is too much.” Runes appear before her hand. It breaks and a fireball appears as it fires at the dummy. “Everything feels the same……right I can do that. CLAIRVOYANCE.” Clone1’s vision switches to third person as she’s able to see her own body, “This is really weird, but I should be able to observe things better. Now another fireball.” Rune appear on her hand as a fireball appears and flies to the dummy. “Still nothing, the fireball is the same no matter how I look at it so what’s wrong?” she rubs her chin then an idea

Research 102: Bunker development.
Nytri sits on the sleeping quarters of the bunker which was now formerly a hole. She sits on a stone bed covered by leaves as she observes the dark room, she’s in. She sees just fine due to her ability to see in darkness. “This place looks just like a dungeon with all the torches and wood pillars. Now it hurts like heck to level up, my body feels like it’s about to explode. The research guys said my body is full so I have to refine the EP crystals to hold and produce more EP while strengthening my body. Awfully complicated but I get the process. Just send new EP into my body while using the old EP to make my body grow, the stuff I don’t need will come out. I just hope I don’t lose my organs.” Nytri closes her eyes on the bed as her vision changes, the room is filled with particles of light. “So, these tiny floating stuffs are all energy, there seems to be little here. I should find a way to trap more EP here…. How about I make this bunker a part of me, linking it to my con
