Chapter 166: Chapter 15 A being in the darkness
Crack*
The sound of bone-crushing chills the environment with its coldness. No monster or humans ever dared to enter the underground of the city of Sins. The great city was surrounded by two nations while retaining its sovereignty almost seemed to be impossible yet it happened.
The people of this city were blessed by the fortune and wisdom that helped them to defend their home for eons.
No countries ever dared to set foot on their soil and they gained the respect of the kings as an important trading zone. However, only a few merchants were allowed to visit here and they never shared the story of the city, fearing they would lose their qualifications to enter the city.
Under the city, a giant structure filled with holes and tunnels, going inside and outside with various things like waste or water. The complex structure forbade anyone from entering it since it was common to be lost there and die for many reasons.
Some died from hunger while others died from disease or poison. This place was the most dangerous and the safest place in the city, so many sought to keep their stash here, hidden from sight.
" One door equals to 2 grand. Pay upfront and we will give you a key to it. We don't bear anything if you die there."
The cleric said, stamping on the paper with a bored expression. He was tired of being here. The work was boring and he wanted to get more. The ambition was burning inside him, telling him to do something since he got the spare keys for the stash.
In his free time, he liked to visit the various zones and read old tomes for knowledge. However, the downside was it was illegal to use their times without any acknowledgment. He was practically stealing their things without their consent. Hence, he had to be extra careful.
" Tsk* It is useless to stay. If I only had a chance to obtain wealth, I would have become a mage that can stand proud in front of those fuckers."
He clicked his tongue, throwing down the old book with annoyance. As a mage, he was a great mage with talent and experience, but no one was willing to hire him because he was born from slaves. His social status hindered his moves, making him a clerk that lives in a dark hole like a mouse.
He scorned this society where the privileged became more powerful and the weak became weaker. His hatred toward the wealthy blinded his goal, making him forget who he was in the first place.
" How can I escape from this shit? Will I live here forever?"
These thoughts constantly tortured his poor soul, making him more aggressive and ruthless. As he became more selfish, the darkness grew more larger than ever. Once the kind boy was no longer in this world, replaced by a cruel sadistic man who loved to collect treasures.
" Do you want power?"
He heard a voice in the tunnels. The thought of him going crazy crossed his mind since it was impossible to go under there unless they are workers like him, but his instincts were telling him to follow this voice.
" Who are you? How can you give me what I want?"
He asked, rushing to know the answer from the voice. The sneer echoed through the walls, revealing the two red eyes in the darkness.
" A crown, a god, a demon. I was once worshipped and hated by all, but the time took my name. I will give you what you want in exchange of souls."
The red eyes spoke coldly, showing a scarlet magic ring on his hand. The young man was attracted by this proposal. He was already doomed to die here anyways, so why not take the chance?
" What souls? Do you need my soul?"
He said calmly, believing this thing was demanding his soul. However, to his surprise, he shook his head and smiled.
" You are a smart man. I will give you a chance to create an ultimate feast for me. You will get what you want and I will get what I want. You don't care about other things, right?"
The red eyes glared at him without any emotion in them. He was looking for a man who could harvest destruction for him, so he can live once again.
