Chapter 19: Arriving At The Abyssal Core Guild

"Undead? What's that..." Khan asked raising an eyebrow as he noticed the slight change in Aurelia's expression.

"According to our information, the undead are beings in mythology, legend, or fiction that are deceased but behave as if alive.

Most commonly the term refers to corporeal forms of formerly alive humans, such as mummies, vampires, and zombies, which have been reanimated by supernatural means, technology, or disease.

Normally this is nothing but fairy tales, but according to the group, it said the entire place was run by mindless undead and the undead type that did the massacre of their group is a pretty rare undead even in the fairy tale.

"Oh? What type of undead is it?" Khan asked curiously.

"A Vrykolakas. It is a harmful, undead creature. It shares similarities with numerous other legendary creatures but is generally equated with the vampire.

While the two are very similar, a vrykolakas eats flesh, particularly livers, rather than drinking blood, which combined with other factors such as its appearance bring it more in line with the modern concept of a zombie or ghoul." Aurelia explained clearly to him.

"That is definitely new news..." Khan said with eyebrows furrowed. From the information, they seemed just like another race like the Abyssal creatures, but also at the same time different, since unlike the Abyssal creatures, they were dead and brought back to life.

'It seems this Ruin is not as simple as it seems..." Khan mussed with furrowed eyebrows.

"When next till the next search party is sent?" He suddenly asked as Aurelia's eyebrows creased a little but she replied to his questions.

"Less than two days from now. And also the top five organizations would be sending out their search party this time. Our Abyssal Core Guild isn't out and you can find the application in the guild..."

"I'll need a single more request from you, Aurelia..." Khan asked with a serious expression on his face.

"What is that?"

"I need the location of the Abyssal Core Guild itself. Since I'm now a recruit, I think it's time to get the true meaning of being a recruit at the Abyssal Core Guild." Khan said as Aurelia put down the glass of juice she was about to drink.

"Why the rush, all recruits have an entire week before they must resume," Aurelia asked, as Khan sensed slight surprise and reluctance in her voice.

"So you'll do that for me, right?" Khan asked once again after she quieted down.

"Sure, if that's what you wish."

"Thank you..."

The Abyssal Core Guild is one of the top five organizations of EC responsible for the harvesting of cores.

Khan slowly got out of the taxi and looked at the towering structure in front of him, the three words painted red written clearly at the top of the structure.

ABYSSAL CORE GUILD

"HUUUUUUU" Exhaling a deep breath in, he calmed himself as he stood upright, before moving towards the gate.

"Stop.."

Immediately the two guards at the front of the building stopped him and Khan stopped where he was.

"State your..." Before the guard could finish, an envelope was swung towards him as he caught it in his hand before looking at it scrutinizingly, his gaze quickly widening in shock as Khan continued walking and he quickly returned the envelope to him and opened the gate.

After Khan had long gone, the second guard, was a middle-aged, brow-skinned man with dark hair.

"What's his deal anyway, he looks so young and also scary..."

"He's a recruit."

"Hmm, he might perhaps be too young but definitely not the youngest recruit..." The man said not that much surprised.

"His recruit was an invitation and held the sign of the Head!" The guard said as the man jumped up on his feet.

"WHAT!!!"

Khan arrived before the revolving door, pushing it open as he looked around the place where hundreds and hundreds of middle-aged men and women were walking around, some in battle suits while some were in normal official suits.

Khan's gaze scanned the place as he sighted the waitress in the distance typing away on her device and he slowly walked towards her.

"Excuse me, mam," Khan said as the waitress reluctantly raised her head from her keyboard.

"How may I....help... you..sir?" She asked, her voice slightly deviating away as she looked at the golden-haired young man in front of him, gobsmacked by his handsomeness.

But what attracted her to him most was those golden-colored eyes and that beaming smile on his face that just made her words stuck in her throat.

"I'm not bothering you, I'm I?" Khan asked as his eyes displayed worry and guilt that made her switch off the screen of her device as she wore her glasses well.

"Not at all, Sir..." She replied, quickly regaining herself.

"Great. Please I'm a little lost. Can you help me out?" Khan asked as he handed the envelope to her.

"Hmm..." Slowly she unfurled it and her face contorted in pure shock looking at that sign on the envelope she then turned to give him a second look.

"Is anything the problem, mam,"

"Not a problem. This is a letter of successful recruitment to the organization. Let me be one of the first to congratulate you..." She said as Khan smiled.

"Thank you..."

"Give me just a minute, I'll get you to the person who'll take you through the registration process..."

Immediately she picked up her device as she dialed a number before conversing.

"Just a minute Sir..."

"No problem Mam..." Khan said with a smile before turning his back to look at the people entering and exiting the place and he got quite the attention probably due to his looks.

Suddenly, the elevator made a ringing sound as a figure dressed in an official suit as he slowly moved toward him.

"Thank you for answering the call, Mr. Jim. This is the recruit..." She said looking in his direction.

"Good day, Mr. Jim. I'm Khan Humana, a recruit of your reputable organization. I look forward to working together In the future," Khan said drawing a raised eyebrow from the Middle-aged man with crooked eyebrows and nose.

The one Khan knew to find fault with every little thing.

'With a single look, he looks like a royalty but his cordiality is out of the way. A remarkable figure...'

"The pleasure is mine, Khan. Follow me..." The man ordered walking away as Khan slowly followed behind him but made sure to give a small appreciative nod to the receptionist whose gaze followed after him till he entered the elevator.

"He's so...Hot!"
