Chapter 142 - Tophet

AMYYL'S POV:-

'Where am I?' I wonder as I look around the place and find myself in the middle of a market. There were ...no, that's not...they are people, but...it's as if they are all dead on their emotions. They look tired and...exhausted...it's as if they have lost their will to live. I observe them for a few moments before rechecking the surrounding area.

I was in the middle of the street at the junction of two roads crossing perpendicularly to each other. The road consisted of white marble and stretched as far as I could see. There was a circle below my feet, probably the entry point to this place. Observing the white houses...or are they even houses? They don't have walls or windows but have a thin line dividing each 'house' by the other. Their tops are covered by strange green coloured leafs that stretch like the houses.

I observe the place where the people were going and see them walking in the east side...wait...how do i know which is the way to the east side.

I then stand up slowly and try to use my Dark Fairy Magic to access the area, but...I can't? 

'What? What is going on here?' Panicking, I looked at my hands, which had strange chains on them....I can only see them and not feel them at all. My magic...was being sucked by them...just what...is this place?

What was the last thing I remember? Yeah..it was me talking to the Dark Fairy Queen, Amriella, about something related to the previous Devil King and me explaining about the potential problems and their solution to her. Just...how did I end up here? 

I look around the streets with a serious expression. My eyes observed the area before I walked towards one of the men who was walking and tried to talk to him, but before I could reach him...something happened…

I feel dizzy before the surroundings change and a new vision comes in front of me. This time I was with a few people standing in front of me...three in total. They looked at me with an interesting expression before one of them spoke.

"What's your name?"

I looked at him as his life force ended. I observed the others who looked comparatively better. I wonder what happened to them...and should I tell them about me?....after thinking about what I should do next, I finally spoke,

"My name is Lera."

"Lera, huh? Nice name you got there. I am Marcel. Nice to meet you. I will guide you to this place and tell you a few things which you should follow. That is, if you don't want to end up like the people who were walking there with no life in their eyes," the red-haired guy, wearing a black tight shirt and black jeans, carrying a chained huge sword on his back. He looks at me with a small smile before speaking.

"This place...is a God's domain. It is called...Tophet. Here, people from various races are brought from different places and then made to work here for eternity by the Gods. There is supposed to be no escape from this place and only torture awaits for those who do not follow the God's code. This rule is overseen by two Gods who live on the third plane and are too lazy to bother with what happens on this plane."

Incomplete but critical information was provided to me by the guy named Marcel as my eyes turn wide open as hundreds of questions flow in my brain. I wanted to ask so many questions, but before I could do so, the black-haired guy beside him spoke.

"Don't just pour all the information at once. It will be too much to take all at once, so let me go through everything one by one, okay...though it's only a hypothesis but…."

Gods are entities who live in the heavens and there are various types of Gods with each their own specialty. Now there were three Gods...a male, a female and a child, God with similar powers related to dimension and creation. Together, those three gods thought of an idea to get strong...an idea to improve their powers and become stronger together. The child God will create a special dimension, the male God will create the rules of this world and the female God will create the infrastructure of this world. Together, they will create a world for themselves and then bring people from other places and bind them here.

The more people they bind, the more they can make them work here. They will make them work endlessly for eternity. And what they will get in return is an enormous amount of workers to do tasks for them. The tasks will be to purify the mana of this world and change it into divinity, a form of energy that Gods can use. This place they created was named Tophet. The more people they bring, the more profit they can gain from here. 

Bringing different races kept going on until one day a certain someone was brought into this world...someone who was strong enough to hide and had the will to get out of here, he collected people from all over the place. The ones who are arriving in this world and the ones who still have life in them. Creating an organisation, he started planning ways of getting out here. 

Everything went well for years for both the Gods and the organization but...then there was this incident one of the guardians of this place found his hideout and a small scale fight broke out. After the incident was over, only 3 people were left alive at this point. The others were sent to the God's torture chamber. Those 3 people started collecting people again and hoped to follow the plans of their leader and get out of this sh*t hole.. One of those was Marcel and the other two were Adrin and Ozlo.
