CHAPTER 3: THE TRUTH SEEKERS

After a very wholesome and emotional day Lelib and the others went back to the bounty house, and collected the reward .

Jason: 7 thousand coins! That’s a new record for me!

Artemis: let’s make it 6500 coins we need some celebration and that requires some drinks :D.

Jason: now you’re thinking ¬‿¬.

Lelib: I’m sorry guys but no, we’re not going to drink today let’s just use the money to stay in a hotel and just get the right enough nourishments, so you guys can recover. we don’t have much time, so rest up well, because a whole new world is waiting for us :D.

Jason and Artemis: sigh… fine…

Olleg: before we go call it a night should we not have a group name maybe, just a suggestion.

Lelib: great idea! You guys got some names?

Jack: what about the chosen ones.

Lelib: ehh not really feeling it. Sounds very cocky and corny to me.

Artemis: I’m not good with names I’m passing this one to you guys.

Jason: ooh I know one! The 5 killers!

Jack: they already exist so let’s be more original.

Lelib: well Olleg do you have anything in mind ? You know you came up with the name idea XD.

Olleg: I’m not sure but maybe something that has to do with our goal as a group, you know the whole thing about you wanting to find out the truth of this world.

Lelib: I got it! Our group name will be the truth seekers!

Artemis: yeah sounds good to me.

Jason: I love it.

Jack: welp truth seekers it is.

Lelib: thx Olleg XD.

Olleg: (gives a gentle smile)

The next day the group did the typical shopping filling up backpacks with food to go on a journey of exploring the brown type thing. You know just the usual. Olleg came up with the suggestion to go to the capital of the brown which is called Astone. It’s a huge kingdom with many clues as to where to find clues to begin with. But it’s a long journey and they will be passing a lot of different kingdoms before reaching Astone.

Lelib: so guys, I’ve always wondered why the sky is partially purple and changing its size depending on where I am.

Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

Jack: well that’s a wall it’s called the end of creation.

Olleg: it’s literally the end of our world and existence itself.

Lelib: well what if we climb over it?

Olleg: You can’t it’s too big. It’s literally Himunly impossible for any of us to cross over it but it’s believed even if you could you would just cease to exist.

Lelib: but why tho?

Olleg: that’s just the way it is.

Lelib isn’t satisfied with the answer, but nonetheless, there is nothing he can do about it. After a long couple of days they arrive at the first kingdom where they rest up and get a mission from the bounty house. It’s about the mantanias and their hive. There has been reports of them now killing himu’s as well. They are mantis like creatures and have a length of around 1,6m with very sharp razers. After some travelling they see the hive. When they get close to the entry Lelib says..

Lelib: so this is it huh.

Artemis: looks very creepy and disgusting ಠ_ಠ. Ew look at that disgusting green yellowish slime, what are these meatures.

Jack: if I’m not mistaken they are class D

Jason: what!?

Olleg: no I don’t think so, a full grown soldier adult is only ranked 16th in the E class, still a pain in the ass considering there are a lot of them in here ,but at least it’s not nearly as bad as the cyclops. And we’ve recovered greatly since then.

Jack: hmm strange idk where I got the D class from. But nonetheless we should just try to sneak in and kill the queen , and that’s it no more babies.

Lelib: Wow! look at the size of this place it has so many tunnels. Wait, do you hear that.

They hear a buzzing sound from the distance closing in. it’s a soldier, they quickly began to hide. After a little while a soldiermantania flew by. The group started going down deeper in the cave like hive and decided to split up into 3 groups.

Group 1: Jack and Artemis

Group 2: Jason and Olleg

Group 3: just Lelib

Lelib: ok if something happens scream as loudly as you can because it’s pretty echoi in here.

Group: got it. (whispering)

After a while of exploring and some close calls one of the group members specifically

group 2 and to be more specific Jason… made a mistake and one of the mantanias caught him and started attacking him. Even though he killed it, that was just the beginning. After that a swarm of them started attacking them. Olleg and Jason tried to hold there own and did pretty decent, but they got out-numbered. Jason thought to abandon his manly hood and let out a huge screech which alerted Lelib but sadly alerted more soldiers too.

Lelib: o well, guess it’s killing time.

Lelib started ripping through dozens of soldiers trying to go to the scream. While on the other hand Jack and Artemis did the same but there weren’t as much of the soldiers at their place in compare to what Lelib and group 2 had. So after a while Lelib arrived at the scene seeing Jason and Olleg barely holding themselves with some small cuts on them.

Lelib: (while fighting the mantanias) where is Artemis I heard her screaming!

Jason: shut up bro just help me!

Lelib: I’m trying bro!

After a little while they killed around a hundred of them mostly done by Lelib , but Olleg and Jason also did their part .

Lelib: so in all seriousness where is Artemis is she ok?

Olleg started laughing

Jason: well it was me who screamed… but you told me too!

Lelib: hahahaha I love you bro XD(while putting his arm on his shoulder).

Jason: … -_-.

Meanwhile with group 1 which consists of Jack and Artemis. after going towards them they stumbled upon a huge hollow room and see 3 thrones next to each other. And 3 mantanias sitting on it but they looked different, they were taller and looked more menacing. The one in the middle was more lanky while the other 2 where more feminine and thicker.

Jack: don’t tell me this is their king and queen!?

Artemis: you mean queens. no wonder they increased so quickly in numbers there are 2 queens.

And then the 3 of them stood up. After that the queens went on to bow down, while the king attacked!...
