Chapter 29: Entering The Ruins

Chapter 29: Entering The Ruins

"Quite a bustling place for a place like the wild..."

The voice rang out as even Khan himself raised an eyebrow looking at the scene in front of him.

A total of three medium-sized spaceships were packed, theirs making the fifth.

Camps have been built around the place, and people could be seen walking in and out of them with smiles on their faces, greeting each other with shakes.

It was almost like this place wasn't the wild at all, and more of a little conference meeting in the jungle.

"Follow me..." The voice of the man rang out, the one who lectured them about the mission and also their pilot said, as they followed behind him.

Navigating their way through the camp setting, the six finally arrived in front of an extra large camp.

"Stay here..." The man ordered before entering the camp alone. The sound of boisterous laughter rang out in the next few seconds as the man exited with a smile on his face.

"You all have been registered and luckily for you, the Ruins will also be opening less than an hour from now. Follow me, let me give you a tour of the others that will also be following you."

"Right there is the Star Bright Academy," He voiced out pointing at a particular tent where different young men clad in white-blue uniforms could be seen.

Immediately, Khan's eyes narrowed to points as a glint flashed in his eyes quickly.

His perception was telling him they were very dangerous beings and the slight quivering of the air around them was enough to make him accept the fact.

"Those are one of Star Bright academy elites. It will be your luck to be able to team with them on the Ruin exploration, although you likely will be refused. Don't be offended and act stupid." The man voiced out sternly as they all gave a firm nod.

"That one is the UAF. Earth's Military Force. They've also been included in joining the exploration..."

It was a tent with a dark red color and with men clad in dark red uniforms. To Khan, they were ordinary soldiers. One could say he was a member of the UAF itself but he was also different. He was trained in a special category of the UAF, the death soldier category.

People like this to him were ordinary soldiers instead of Elite soldiers.

"And that is the REO. The Ruins Explorer organization, they're the one who first entered into the ruins and lost 7 members.

But not only that, they're also the ones that know more about the ruins than any of the organization entering as it was their men that first stepped foot in it..." He explained earning a nod from the others.

"When in the Ruin, remember to put aside the difference you may have between the organization and work together instead..."

RIPPLE

Suddenly a shockwave of dark energy rippled past them as Khan snapped his head sideways where he felt it originated from.

Immediately, the camp went silent, obviously disturbed by the strange pulses that soon rippled past them once again.

"It's finally opening..."

An old figure suddenly appeared mid-air, silver-haired with a staff in his arms.

"The doors of the Magical Arcana Ruins will now be opening, I hope you're all ready. Your main mission irrespective of your organization is scouting. Draw a map of whatever place you explore down. Write about the different types of creatures you meet and accurately give their pictures.

As for treasure hunting, that is only a second mission and not the focus of this Ruin Exploration. Is that understood?" The man asked, though old, spoke fluently like a middle-aged man.

"Yes sir..."

"Good. You will all be entering into the ruins in the order with which you came. Therefore the UAF are the first..." The old man said as the group representing the UAF, a total of 7, emerged and slowly moved to the gigantic dark vortex which possessed streaks of blood-red light within them.

Immediately, they arrived at the front of the vortex all holding hands together before disappearing within as one.

"Next is the Star Bright academy..."

Another group of 7 people clad in a white- blue uniforms walked out of the group also holding hands before disappearing within.

"Next, REO..."

"Lastly, Abyssal Core Guild..." The man voiced out looking in their direction as the group containing three men and two women walked out closing in on the vortex.

Arriving before it, Khan felt two hands stretching to his side, one belonging to the man who taunted him and the other a white-haired lady.

He took the hand, exhaling loudly before they all walked into the vortex at once, their back disappearing quickly.

A minute later...

The vortex crawled to a stop, soon unmoving as the remaining people left looked at it.

"It is only after a week that this will begin revolving once again and the exit portals will start appearing to them. I wonder how many will make it out alive and which guild will suffer the most devastating damage..." The voice of the old man rang out, almost like a sigh yet filled with hope, causing the various people present ok the scene to give a nod.

"Well, since we're 'stuck' here for the next week, how about a booze or two to settle down the temperature..." The old man said winking at all the people present as they all walked forward towards the largest tent in the place, soon engaging in a crazy amount of drinking and laughter.

And that was life and hierarchy in this world. The lesser in the hierarchy go into dangerous Ruins, brushing shoulders with death while the others sit down, drinking wine and laughing while ripping the benefits of their labor at the end of the day.

-- -- --

An intense shoving.

Khan could feel he was being shoved with speed through space, his eyes closed unable to be opened, but he made sure not to let go of the hold.

30 seconds later...

The shoving finally stopped as he once again felt the solid ground beneath his feet causing him to open his bright golden eyes.

BLERRRRGGGGHHHH

The sound of vomiting rang out in his ears coming from the other adventurers, due to the intense shoving they had just gone through.

Finally gaining control of themselves, turning to look at the surrounding area and their jaw dropped to the ground, eyes flashing in horror as they took on the sights.

"What...what the hell is this place!!!"
