After walking a distance,
he finds the place eerily strange and peculiar because the land he was walking
on seemed endless as if the world had no curvature or bumps or small hills. He
finds it both strange and interesting but he suddenly feels hungry so he looks
around himself and in a distance he sees a silhouette of something that looked
like a small hill. He musters up his courage and walks towards the silhouette
and to bear his hunger, he ties a rope tightly against his stomach. When the
silhouette becomes clear and visible, he is pleased to see that it was a cave
that had 2 soldiers with swords in hands guarding it. But on closer inspection
he finds that they are dead and only their bones and armor was left of them. To
his surprise the 2 soldiers had a bag of rations beside them. Ells picks up the
bag containing the rations and finds canned food that looked like the canned
food from Earth. He says nothing but quietly thinks to himself
Maybe these are my fellow Earthlings. No they can't be!
Whatever it is I shouldn't pry into it deep and think of a way to survive. I
wonder how they even got on this planet and if I am clear in what I am seeing,
isn't that the uniform that usually elite army soldiers wear! Maybe this place
really is deeply connected to Earth which is why I am teleported here.
He didn't have tools to put
up a fire and cook it so he eats it raw considering that it smelled good
because the expiry date on the canned food was untrustworthy. After fulling
himself so he could walk and perform tasks, he stands up and drinks from the
vessel which the soldiers carried. He found no foul smell in the water so he
gulped it down in one go. Eating something was still better than eating and
drinking nothing. When he was satisfied, he enters the cave which the dead
soldiers were supposedly guarding. The moment he enters the cave, the door to
the cave disappears and the cave is lit by an unknown source of light that came
from empty void. It was lit enough so that one could see and interact. Ells is
scared at first but he gathers himself and don't speak a single word. After
walking for the next 10 minutes, he reach the end of the cave with a wall on
which several murals were drawn in a language that was completely alien to him
but he could understand every word of that language. It was almost as if someone
had implanted the language inside his brain. He nearly screams from the extreme
fear that this fact brought him but he stays silent so as to not awake any wild
beast if they are present in the cave. He closely inspects the murals.
Ok the bottom of the mural
there were 7 worlds depicted, each one looked similar to Earth. Above the 7
worlds there was a massive army which held spears and daggers. Above them were
angels whose faces were covered in white light and had wings of various sizes,
some embedded with jewels and gold whilst others covered in black tar like
sticky substance. Above them was a massive army that was depicted as invisible
and a line was written beside that invisible army 'Lortosa, beings serving the
dark emperor living in the realm of unseen untouched by any gods'. Above that
army was a cloud and above that cloud was a dark black ball of fog within which
there were streaks of blue and red lightning. Beside the dark black ball of fog
was written 'Dark Emperor'. Above all of that was a dark night sky with
countless stars but the thing peculiar about the stars was that they had eyes
and each of their gazes were directed at the dark emperor.
When Ells saw one of the
stars, his eyes starting burning on fire but miraculously as he turned his face
away from the mural, his eyes were healed. He cautiously didn't look at the
mural back and picked up a stone slab beside it. There was some text written on
the stone slab in another yet understandable alien language. It said 'During
the hour, a messiah will rise and lead everyone to their safety. He will be
from an unknown era and world. Forgotten and of noble royalty. He who defeats
the dark emperor and brings peace to 7 worlds and heavens'. After reading all
this, Ellsworth is both shocked and stunned. He took it seriously and didn't
make fun of it. He quietly whispers.
"Did I just grab a chance to become a protagonist. So
those anime and mangas I read and watched my entire life really could teach me
some stuff. I wonder if I get super powers too."
Ells laugh in a low pitched
and low volumed voice giving a happy feel. He picks up another slab on which
was written words
'Recipe : Summon
an angel of the divine'
