Liam's mind was clouded in a cocoon of despair as he stared at these two, he tried all the means he knew to make them revive but none worked. He was looking at them, believing a miracle would happen, well, a miracle really did happen at this moment. Eden and Anabella started to move, their eyes blinked several times. It was as though life suddenly returned to their eyes as they now looked at him with bright eyes unlike the dead ones they have been using to look at him ever since they stood up. "Liam!!" Anabella was the first to regain all her consciousness, she saw Liam and yelled out his name then she ran to hug him. Liam stood up from his position and hugged her while trying his best to hold back tears. Eden also regained all of his consciousness at that moment, he looked at Liam with a smile. They didn't even bother about the environment they were in, all they saw and cared about right now was their friend, Liam. Everything that happened in the dark world, the past and eve
"Something is not right!" Eden said to Liam as he stood up and grabbed Anabella's hands as if shielding her from an incoming attack. Liam looked at him and shook his head. "It is probably a monster." "Wait a monster? What are we going to do? We can't go outside unless that will be the end of us?" "If it worked that way then there would be Millions of Portals around the world waiting for them to be cleared. I'm a hero, remember, my job in society is to protect the weak, in dungeons, my job is to slay the monsters which is also the same as protecting the world." Liam explained, but Eden wasn't buying it, "I respect that you are a hero but da heck, that monster up there should be pretty big if it can cause an underground structure to tremble." Anabella nodded her head as well, both of them are scared, which is to be expected. Liam was scared as well during his first expenditure but he refused to show it. Meanwhile, as they were speaking, rocks started to fall. Liam saw a big rock
CLANG!! BOOM!! THUD!! The sound of the devastating battle between Liam and the crypto genie could be heard across a wide space. Liam was like a robot, he moved at the speed of a fast car as he evaded attacks. At this moment, he performed a side flip evading the punch of the cryptogenic. Immediately his feet touched the ground, he exploded Forward. Sword clenched tightly, Liam performed several horizontal slashes, dealing a great deal of damage to the cryptogenic. AHHHH! The monster let out a rageful cry and smashed down. Time seems to slow down at this moment. Liam was at a very close range with the giant cryptogenic with no space to evade successfully. The gigantic hands of the cryptogenic was falling down towards him at such a speed unmatched by the eyes. But then.. BOOM!! A strong purple flame flew towards the fist of the monster. AHHHH! The monster held its hands and cried out in pain, looking at the direction the attacks came from. Liam also looked back as well
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
