Reincarnated As Disaster

The Well of The Abyss

A mountain miles away from Kiran exploded because of Gin's fireball. Along the way, the fireball left a crater that looked like a dry river.

The children jumped for joy while clapping their hands. Meanwhile, the three adults were speechless.

Gin didn't mean to blow up the mountain. He didn't even notice that there was a mountain there.

It was a shower of rocks and dust for a while. Gin's gray hair was covered in dust and small stones.

"Is anyone living there?" Gin asked hesitantly. He was more afraid that someone would die because of his actions.

Leogus took a deep breath, but it was just dust he inhaled. He shook his head weakly. Leogus took another deep breath and then shouted. "You're lucky it's a dead mountain. If it was a volcano we would have died already!"

"So nobody lives there, right?" Gin ignored Leogus' annoyance.

Leogus rolled his eyes. "No. The mountain is a den of monsters, no one lives in the vicinity."

That was great. Gin was very relieved if he didn't hurt anyone else. Even though in the end he would kill everyone, at least he would do it at the same time and quickly.

"Then, let's try again."

Gin gained a little confidence. He managed to make a fireball though more than he expected. That was a little better than nothing.

"Fireballs!" Another firefly was formed.

"Fireballs!"

"Fireballs!"

Gin paused. What made him unable to control his magic?

"Status open!"

[WARNING! YOUR DISASTER CORE HAS BEEN STOLEN!]

"Magic of the abyss. There must be something about it."

"What did you say?" Leogus interrupted. He heard Gin's insignificant muttering.

"I have the magic of abyss. There must be something—"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You wasted my time!"

Leogus sighed. With large, hasty steps he walked away. "Follow me!"

Gin looked at Gargan but she just shrugged. They had no idea what Leogus was thinking.

Gin and Gargan followed Leogus into a forest outside the Kiran. The trees grew so thick that the sunlight covered them with leaves. Leogus cast balls of light to light the way. This place was very different from Kiran which was currently very hot. The cold air stabbed bone. Every time Gin breathes, white smoke came out of his nose.

Leogus took out his sword, he cleared the bushes that were blocking their path. On the right and left, Gin could see the bloodshot eyes of a lurking beast. But those animals, or monsters, were smart enough not to offend him.

"Are you sure this is the way? It seems like no one has ever gone this way."

"I came here fifty years ago."

Gin forgot that fifty was a very short time for elves. Gin suddenly remembered something.

"Fifty years ago, wasn't Gerald still here?"

"Yes. I went with him. There!"

Leogus pointed at a well. Vines filled the side of the well. Leogus pushed open the well cover, scorching the vines with the fire he had made.

"Your magic comes from the abyss. Since it is not an abyss, you will have a hard time controlling your magic here."

"Is the abyss some kind of hell?"

"I'll explain later. Now, go down, get some water from this well, and drink it! Whatever happens, don't come up before you control your magic!"

Gin raised his eyebrows. He looked into the well. It was too dark and he could barely see the water.

Gin hesitated. What if the water was poisoned? But he guessed a disaster like him wouldn't die that easily.

"Why isn't there a rope here? We can take it on a rope." There were no ropes or anything used to fetch water.

"No. This well is the gate to the abyss. The rope will burn as soon as it touches the water."

"Then what about me?"

"You said you have the magic of the abyss!"

Gin had no other choice. He suspected this water could help him control his magic.

Reluctantly, Gin entered the well. He stepped on the ladder in the well made of rock crystal. The rock crystal didn't burn even when it came into contact with the water, but it was very slippery to step on.

"Be careful, My Lord!" Gargan cheered from above. Her voice echoed into the well and almost made Gin slip.

Holding on to the rock crystal, he touched the water with his hand. He waited for a reaction. No fire burned him, so it should be safe. He took some water with his palm and drank it.

It tastes very salty like seawater. Gin took it again and drank it once again. It was very torturous on his tongue.

At first, nothing happened. After a few minutes, his throat felt hot. It was like something got stuck in his throat and he couldn't breathe.

Gyuuur!

He slipped and fell into the water. Gin's hands were flailing around him. He could swim but his throat was still choked.

"My Lords!"

Gin could hear Gargan's screams from above. Her voice sounded increasingly low as he slowly sank into the water. There was something that strongly pulled him into the water. He tried to kick whatever was under his feet. Gin's hand reached up, but it was no use.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist. Gin thought it was Gargan. Maybe she was desperate to help him. After all, they were tied and Gargan should be fine in this water.

However, when Gin opened his eyes, he saw two fangs in front of his face. That was not Gargan.

Gin spontaneously swam away. But the creature's hand held him down. Blue lights surrounded him, making the creature's face even clearer. Not just one, but there were six around him.

They have golden eyes with white irises. Their heads were like humans but their faces were like fish with two long fangs. Their bodies also looked like mermaids. Their blue hair fluttered in the water.

"Kiiiiiiiik!"

They let out a very painful squeaky sound.

Gin was nearly out of breath. He tried to remove his hand from the creature. But its grip even strengthened and made him bleed.

As his blood mixed with water, their golden eyes suddenly turned bright red. This was not a good sign.
