Morning came and an exodus of men and women traveled unimpeded on their way. The journey was eerie since the group found no humans like them.

They were of course no dumb and thus, prayed to avoid the worst of all possibilities.

​​

There were myriad races in the universe and the 5,000 years of human history was painted by the blood of both their heroes and enemies.

"What do you think, guys?"

"Whose planet is this?" An intellectual man asked his friends. They had guessed that those fucking Alliance top dogs would not have sent them here on a vacation.

There had to be a catch in this situation since those twisted leaders always had their own benefits in mind first and foremost.

More than that, these prisoners were the perfect guinea pig for such a quest. They were supposed to be executed for the weight of their heinous crimes.

A win win for the masters but an ugly fate towards these prisoners.

"I have a bad feeling about this but I think we're in a Thephri world." Another man answered.

He visibly trembled as he looked around as if he was expecting ghosts to appear in broad daylight.

"Are you fucking stupid?"

"The Thephri won't have a pristine world like this."

"If not for the lack of people and civilization around, I would think that this would be perfect for us humans to live. This place is simply a paradise!" A hopeful man contradicted.

"Maybe the Goddess Race?" The first speaker asked again. He was referring to one of the allies of the Alliance.

They were all composed of females which stood at least 6 foot tall of absolute beauty.

No man can resist their charm but to this day, no romantic relationship was seen or heard of between a man and a goddess.

Though kind hearted, one could note that they were an aloof race. More than that, the goddess race also possessed unimaginable strength.

Thus, humanity has always treasured and safeguarded their friendship with these mighty characters.

"I wish! But I guess we will know soon enough at the end of this adventure."

Months passed and before anyone expected anything, our bored gamer had made a shocking announcement at this time.

"We're already here." Clark said to the group after their last night together. They have been walking in this world for 5 straight months and the last steps in front was finally their destination.

Or at least our good gamer's.

"The road ahead is not something that you can follow."

"In the morrow, I will go. And whosoever follows will surely die." This was the warning that Clark imparted unto any bold soul out here.

He knew that this would be the final words he could share unto the thousands that had come with him.

It was of course a given that there will be stupid men and women in a population of 190,000 souls but that was not anymore our avid gamer's problem.

He has done everything he could for them. The night passed without any more surprises and at the first break of light, Clark resumed his journey together with Cora, Nicole and Zoe.

He left a significant amount of food and supplies in the group behind but just like he expected, there was a curious gang who followed his tracks step by step.

"I think we need to improvise." Our bored gamer smiled and without ado, carried Cora and Nicole in his arms.

"Hang tight." The girls were surprised but before they could say anything, the world flashed before their eyes at amazing speeds. It did not need telling that Zoe was left out from the party.

"And here I thought that you were a gentleman by nature."

"I must admit that I have badly misjudged you, Kian." Zoe muttered as if the abandonment had hurt her. Astonishingly enough, a beautiful smile was seen on her face the next moment.

"But I don't think that you can get rid of me that easily." She said and then blurred into action.

"WHOOSH!" Zoe's speed was not at all slower than Clark. The race was on but our bored gamer was not particularly motivated in the competition.

His only purpose was to determine the safety of Cora and Nicole. Other than that, he was free to do anything he wanted in this world.

"You two stay here okay?"

"I'll come back to you before the day ends." Our bored gamer instructed the two women after getting 5 kilometers of distance away from their initial position.

He made sure to cover his tracks well and was positive enough that no ordinary human could find this position easily. Alas, this rule did not apply to Zoe.

She was after all not a simple human at all but a capable android.

"Why did you leave me like that?" Zoe arrived seven breaths later.

"I guess I have confidence in your skills." Clark replied briefly.

"Take care, Kian."

"We'll wait for you here." Nicole and Cora said one after another, disregarding the fact of Zoe's superpowers. It was obvious that they cared more about good gamer's safety at this time.

Both have been asking the reason why our bored gamer decided to come to this place but they always got an unclear answer in response.

It came to the point that they were tired of caring about the reason in the end. They just wanted to see our good gamer in one piece, safe, and beside them.

"..." Clark nodded and he burst into action without ado. Truth be told, he was very excited to meet an enemy at this time.

He had very great expectations that he would rise above many after his quest on this planet.

"WHOOSH!" Two unseen figures moved impossibly fast for a human to follow. It did not take them long to arrive at what seemed like a living curse in place.

There was cracking in the earth as far as the eyes can see and intricate red markings marred everything in a twisted sense of art. At the center of this hellish scene was a castle of doom.

But far from any mundane ones, this construct was alive and throbbing. There were moving creatures inside its surface like disgusting worms beneath a skin.

A lesser man would have run away at this sight but not our bored gamer.

"BOOM!" Dust followed Clark's path as he charged towards the enemy territory alone.
