The cold groundwater slowly condensed into water droplets on the tip of the stalactite, and then slipped decisively, mercilessly hitting a young boy's face, making a swirling sound.This was a cave full of stalactites. The cave was sealed and pitch black. Only the turquoise light dots on the stone wall flickered, emitting a dim light.At the center of the cave was a puddle of several square meters in size. Beside it, a woman and a young boy were laying on their backs on a flat boulder.The woman was soaked all over her body. Her hair was tangled in strands on the stone surface, her face was beautiful, but her complexion was unusually pale. It looked as if there were no traces of blood on her face. She lay stiffly on the boulder, apparently dead for a long time.The cold water drops fell on Lynn's forehead, one after another. His clothes were half-dried by his body temperature. The emerald on his waist belt and the green light spot on the stone wall complemented each other, both emitti
Lynn discovered a medium sized hole at the middle of the cave, and in addition to the puddle in the middle, there was a hole above the cave, the size should be enough for a person to squeeze through.He knelt down in front of Kiara again and said softly, "Mother, please forgive me for doing this, but I have to take your body with me, even if its just ashes. Then I'll bury you along with father when I bring you back to the tribe."After that, Lynn checked his mother's storage bag and brought out a funeral Pyro. He tapped it and placed it on his mother's body. Within seconds, the whole body was caught up in flames. Before long, it had turned to ashes. Safely stored inside a urn, he placed it in his storage bag."Remnant. The Remnant." Lynn tried to contact The Remnant, and even called him several times, but he didn't receive any reply in return. He was very surprised by this development, but shrugged it off. Anyway, he must find an exit first. He didn't know where this cave was. He had
From a distance, Lynn saw what seemed to be a dark shadow at the center of the cave, standing there upright. From the vague outline, he felt that it should be a giant tree. But how could a tree grow in a dark hole? Even if a tree happened to grow there, It couldn't be this big, could it?With the luminescence faint green light, he carefully climbed to the bottom of the cave along the stone wall. While crawling down, he carefully remove the bugs laying on the stone wall. Fortunately, these bugs were just clinging to the stone wall and were not aggressive, otherwise, he would have been assailed from all sides.Coming to the bottom of the cave, it brought another feeling to him. On the stone wall just now, he only felt as if he was standing at the centre of the universe, and there were shining stars all around his body.And now, standing at the bottom of the cave, he couldn't help but think of the night sky in his previous life. There were few such glowing bugs at the bottom of the cave,
"What have you done?""Hm?" Lynn shuddered in surprise and anxiousness, not because of the discovery just now, but the voice that spoke now was not his. He asked slowly. "The Remnant, is that you?"The voice of The Remnant suddenly came into his mind. "Yes."Lynn was happy. "I was trying to contact you.""Yes, I know." The Remnant replied and let out a mild breath. "Your oath of vengeance is now bound to your soul, and to some extent, mine. If you don't fulfill the oath, your soul will dissipate into nothingness, and you'll find yourself in the hall of Hades.""Huh?""Yes, and your soul will be filled with regrets. So, you'll have to take it seriously from now on. But most importantly, only seek revenge when you're strong enough. It's never too late for a warrior to take revenge, even if it takes longer than necessary.""Yes. I understand, The Remnant. This enemy has thrown down the gauntlet, and when I'm ready, I will have to settle the accounts with him.""It's good you understood.
Because the dragonstone was quite large, Lynn had to put it on the ground beside the stone table, and said at the same time. "Remnant, there are two booklets here, let me take them out to see."There was nothing extraordinary about the booklets, they were just the kind of journals or memoirs which could be seen everywhere. On the covers of one of the two books, was the caption "A Gift to The Fated", and the other was labeled "Secrets of Light Magic."Lynn opened the first book, only to see the first page read. "Whoever sees this book is the destined soul."Lynn blinked his eyes and couldn't help but read on. Starting from the second page, there were some notes written by the person who left the book. It read as follows:"I am Auren, the Divine Archmage of the Kingdom of Enders. I'm a light mage, and a good one at that. One day, a dragonstone suddenly appeared in the kingdom, and I was extremely happy. It wasn't just any dragonstone, but that of a golden dragon.Back then, I was a high
Back at the water pool in the small hole, Lynn took a deep breath and plunged down. After diving for more than twenty meters, the water pool stretched out. There was a bright spot in the distance, which should be the entrance of the cave.After swimming for a time, the bright spot opened up in front of him. Exit was getting nearer, so he continued. He didn't get drowned because of his deep essence he had harnessed.Realizing he was at the bank of the water, he quickly rushed out of the water and took a few breaths of fresh air. The rumbling sound of the waterfall in his ears told him that this was the deep pool under the waterfall.The Remnant's voice sounded again. "Child, I've already used my divine sense to investigate your surroundings. There is no danger around."Lynn thanked his spirit guide and looked up at the high cliff, recalling everything that happened before in this world. His father, mother and sister, all died tragically in the hands of the antherions. Sadly at this tim
Along with other able-bodied clansmen, Lynn gathered the bodies of all the fallen clansmen together in a heap, and cremated the bodies. He was busy throughout the night until the sky was brightly lit by the sun, and all the dead clansmen had been cremated.After doing all this, Lynn did not leave, but waited for a few days instructing the clansmen to pack everything that could be termed as useful.Before long, all the valuables that the tribe had accumulated over the years, such as food, clothing, weapons, and the rest, were piled up at the central square of the village.In the early morning of the fourth day, Lynn gathered the surviving clansmen at the village square. Seeing the mountain-like objects piled up in front of him, he was overwhelmed. "Uncle Callor, all these?""Yes, Lynn. Everything useful is here. The rest were left behind." Callor didn't rest well these days due to the amount of work that he had been doing. The two dark circles under his eyes were evidences of his lack
As the rays of the sun continued to pierce the ground, Lynn stood in a shadow cast by a massive boulder, recovering his strength. He had been running for several hours to evade the dangers of the plain, but the heat of the sun wasn't helping. He knew the blazing afternoon wasn't the best time of the day for a long distance journey on foot, but he couldn't linger around his demolished village. The threat of the antherions still loomed heavily on his mind.After deciding on his need for a small break, he sat on a small stone beside the boulder and opened his satchel. He brought out a piece of roasted rabbit leg, and a urn of deepwater he received from Wynter, his dead uncle.From his vantage point, he could see the outskirts of the Ivory hills, his destination. But considering the dangers of the roads, he knew the journey would take him several weeks to complete. So for now, he had to be extremely careful and conserve his energy as much as he could. If he was to survive.His eyes were d
