With Liam and Eden working as a team, taking down the monster became inconsiderably easier, although Eden wasn't that good at fighting. He wasn't able to control his purple flames to attack the exact position, but he was very good at causing a distraction for the monster, giving Liam the chance to attack. Both of them were in sync, Liam was the mastermind and Eden was the powerful puppet. Soon after about an hour, they manage to fall down the cryptogenic to the ground. It fell on the ground and its body turned into a mass of dust and disappeared, nevertheless, it left a monster core. Liam picked it up, it was 2-star monster core but he wasn't sure of the tier because most times, monsters tend to have different tiers, for example, a peak 2-star Monster might end up having a low 2-star monster core. Liam after picking it up, he walked towards the siblings who started discussing their powers. "Look, so cool, I shot out flames like a pro!" Eden boasted to Anabella. But she wasn't
Right in front of them was a weird looking desert, they could only call it the name desert because of the lack of life and water. Without those features, this place could easily be called a land of horror. Liam wasn't scared, he had seen more monsters and wouldn't get scared by the sight of a desert. His only fear is what type of monster exists in this place, how he would find the next portal early and how he would be able to fight without losing anyone or anything. "You two don't have to fear, both of you." Liam said calmly. Eden swallowed and stood up straight. "Who said I was scared, I only held you because I wanted to fall." He scoffed. Anabella didn't even let go of Liam because she was too afraid. "Anabella come to big bro." Eden tried to coerce her to come to his side. "No.. you are scared too, look at you shaking." Anabella scoffed. When Eden heard that, he felt like vomiting blood. To be honest, he was really scared. In movies, deserts are not always the best plac
[Congratulations, you have entered your first tomb] [Your first tomb quest has appeared!] [Tomb quest 1: Complete the challenge of this tomb owner and unlock their inheritance] [Reward: New inheritance, 100 Million dollar] [Penalty: Lost inheritance, curse] Liam was lost, staring at the new quest that had just appeared. This is his first time receiving this sort of quest. In the past, when he gained his first set of inheritance, he wasn't asked to visit any special tomb, he was only asked to complete the beginner challenge. The monster tamer inheritance appeared after he was able to tame his first pet Blaze.Anyway, apart from the inheritance there was something else that enticed him. 'One hundred million dollars is a huge sum, I'll be able to pay off all my debt including Bella's bill and buying a new house, and maybe a car if there is any need for it... Yeah, that is two big motivations for me to complete this quest.' Liam smiled and turned to two of them. "Both of you, wa
Feeling the need, Liam began to count how many steps they have taken so far in his head. At the moment they are in their 199th step, altogether they have crossed two spirals and there are at least six more left for them to climb to reach the bottom of this structure. Which means there are more than 600 left for them. However, the moment they stepped on the 200th floor. [You have reached the first checkpoint] [A monster will spawn soon] [Defeat the monster without magic] [Using magic will make another monster appear so refrain from using it] A very loud voice sounded in the place. It wasn't the system's voice thus everyone in here heard the voice. "What.. what is happening." Eden held Anabella as the ground in front of them widened. After widening a monster appeared out of it, it was a giant monster holding a big ax. It has black skin and red eyes with a tail that ends in an arrowhead. Liam looked at the monster and brought out his sword. "It said we can't use magic.. whi
Anabella was an exceptional cook, no one can take that away from her as her mother had grounded her in that part. Eden couldn't even differentiate between her food and that of their mother. She prepared such an exceptional meal with the ingredients provided for her, Eden and Liam enjoyed themselves even though the food wasn't enough. Nevertheless, eating to their fill won't be beneficial to their eating. Especially since they will be doing a lot of work and might even fight a monster soon. "Alright, resting over, let's continue our journey." Eden stood up and said. Liam and Anabella agreed. Blaze didn't, it kept rolling itself on the ground in a seemingly cute manner, it was hungry. Liam glared at Blaze causing the monster pet to scoff and climb Anabella's shoulder. After that, they continued their journey, heading down the flight of stairs and soon they got to the last checkpoint. [Final checkpoint] The voice announced and then a blinding light appeared in front of them tak
Liam could only stand there looking at his father heading towards him to attack. Eden and Anabella tried calling him so that he could realize the situation he was in but he couldn't help but find everything extremely difficult. Just then the figure arrived in front of him faster than he could even imagine. The spear in its hands waved through the air, making its way towards him at such an unmatchable speed. A few inches away, the spear momentum suddenly stopped. Liam was still looking straight into the eyes of his father, he wanted to see those eyeballs move and show him how much he really wanted his father. Liam didn't have the strength to attack or even the mindset to pick up his sword. Seeing the figure stop in front of him without attacking made matters even worse. Eden and Anabella braced themselves getting prepared for sudden attacks. And it really did happen. The figure of Liam's dad duplicated into three parts. One of them was standing in front of Liam while the oth
After realizing that this was nothing his father, Liam's mindset returned to how they were before, however there was sadness and other sad related emotions in his mind. After beheading the first one, he stood over the head as it disappeared before turning his head and the large numbers of them fighting with his friend. "Eden, take Anabella back, I'll take care of this." Liam said. Eden grabbed Anabella by the wrist and took several steps backward. Liam clenched his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white due to the amount of pressure he applied on that simple clench.His eyes were now filled with anger and determination. He knew he had to protect his friends, even if it meant facing these grotesque replicas of his father.With swift movements, Liam charged at the nearest figure. His sword slashed through the air, meeting the spear of the clone head-on. The clash of metal resonated in the surroundings. The force of his strike pushed the figure back, causing it to stumble, but i
Darkness twisted into a new reality right in front of their eyes while the eerie sounds kept going on and off each second. Anabella and Eden, , even Liam couldn't control their emotions at what was taking place in front of them at the moment. Liam looked at the new reality unfolding in front of them. It was more like a game! The ground was caving in and new ones were spouting out. Even the walls did the same thing until suddenly the darkness was no longer what it used to be. It has turned a purple void with a large ancestral looking chest at the middle of it. Liam turned his back to the two of them and gave them an eye signal that he was going to check what was in the box. Anabella wanted to stop him because she cared about him but at this moment, she too, had no choice. If they don't open that,they won't leave so she knows what to choose at such a time like this.Liam made his way towards the chest in the room. Getting there he gulped and placed his hands on it and pulled it
