Chapter 48 Quest Generate

He had succeeded in escaping from the clutches of the Goblin king.

With his transmigration, he understood perfectly what the law was after engaging with the wild dog.

A place where only the strong have the right to live.

He knew very well that is what it was,

that is why he did his best so he could be counted among the strong.

He wanted nothing more but to survive.

to sleep without having to worry about being killed in his sleep.

Because of that, he put his all into ensuring he could live like that.

He had battled with the monsters on the floor he was born into and had gotten a little stronger.

That however was not enough for him.

His goal had changed after having an encounter with the one he calls miss dragon.

She was a magnificent being who discarded him as nothing and had proclaimed that he would never be able to pose a threat to her.

Those words scarred him and shattered his ego.

He wanted it,

he was greedy and thirsty for the kind of authority miss dragon had.

For that authority, he journeyed to the even more dangerous level in search of power.

In the end, what he ended up with was despair.

The kind of despair that almost turned him from a failure to completely having his existence altered and controlled by a third party.

His Greed for more power landed him in even more of a trouble than he could have imagined.

Now, he is too scared to do anything.

He craved power and in return he was given despair.

The thought of craving for more only to be rewarded negatively terrifies him.

He is indeed terrified,

but the thought of doing nothing terrifies him even more.

If wanting to improve on himself will only end up putting him in an even more trouble,

he has to be ready to tank it all.

There is also the thought of the king hunting for him.

He has to continue pushing forward no matter what.

To do that, he needs even more power and he found a source that can prove reliable to him in that aspect.

The giant gate that had rejected him saying he wasn't qualified enough.

That was where he went back to after escaping from the Goblins.

When he first saw the gate,

he felt an immeasurable amount of power emanating from it and he had a feeling that if he could go in, he would surely come out a different person.

Different in the aspect of good or bad?, he doesn't know.

Besides,

behind the giant gate is the only place he knows he will not be found by the king as even he had accidentally stumbled upon it.

***

He was accepted in, but what he was faced with wasn't at all what he had expected.

Before he could go in, he had to pass an unexpected test.

He was forced to relive his moments of his parents in the body of his own father no less.

Memories he wished he could bury in the deep depths of his past is what this gate decided to resurface.

If he had fully immersed himself into the illusion made by the tomb, he wondered what would have happened.

Would he have been forever trapped in there forgetting that he has his own reality to live in now?.

He felt a cold chill run through his vein at the unpredictable act of the tomb.

When the door opened,

his expectations if he passes through it consisted of him winding up in a battle or something akin to a battle involving the physical use of his body.

He definitely did not expect nor account for him to be attacked psychologically.

He has yet to enter the tomb and has already almost lost himself,

He has to be up on his feet and prepare his mentality to be ready for whatever comes in his way.

***

He gets up on his feet and makes his way to the entrance of the gate emitting a sort of voidness and emptiness.

He enters the gate and was greeted with a different scenery compared to where he was before.

When he passed through the gate, it felt like his body had shifted from one hole to another.

Like this was a separate space from where he came from.

Mountains laid out all over the terrain.

Illumination brought not by the effect of the sun, but by the volcanic eruption from the nearby mountains.

Lava flowing like streams of water as vast as the ocean.

This is a place consisting of fourty percent volcanic mountains, fifty nine percent lava, and one percent flat land.

He has managed to escape being roasted alive after setting foot in here thanks to his fire resistance skill being at Lv6.

He still can feel the tingling on his skin,

The fire slowly warming itself on his skin, but that is all.

He looked down from the cliff he was in and saw the bubbling of the lava ready to melt whatever comes into it.
