Jacob was accpected in party of rank 2 party
The party found an hidden dungeon and couldn't proceed without an class job seal breaker, Jacob was vacant and was not in party so they decided to bring him along ... Not knowing it's soon to go wrong.
The party was called hoarder they introduce themselves and their class to Jacob.
Knight class (Davis senta)
Mage (ilia davilan)
Rouge (Nico senta)
Archer (Xuan hing)
Jacob: how did you find this dungeon, it doesn't belong to any temple.
(Jacob conflicted about this dungeon as most of dungeon is guarded and secure by an temple but this one he thought was not it's most be trap)
Jacob:We should take extra cautious-
(Cut off by Davis)
Davis: hah! Stop being worry wart we found this hidden dungeon which it's untouched there most be priceless artifact and treasures here
Nico:yeah just do your job and open the gate
(As Jacob opens the gate of the dungeon, it's walls and ceiling had flesh)
Ilia: disgusting...
(She looks at it as she's about to puke)
Nico: stop complaining ilia
The party enter the dungeon.
They wonder around as nico wrote an map so they won't get lost. Xuan in other hand seems relax despite such weird dungeon, Jacob in other hand is had hunch an gut feeling this is dangerous place, yet all his party group is just oozing with greeds, as they wonder for 10 minutes in the halls that seems labyrinth maze made of flesh they see another gate jacob opens it with doubts in his mind
Davis: good job.. that's what we expect from you
(He smiled as he celebrated with joy with others but Jacob does not)
Ilia: this better worth it, ugh ... I hate this place! So hurry it up
(She was irritated by such place, as it was also pitch dark instead the entire dungeon was dark so she was burning trough her mana reserves just to keep the place they walk lit)
Xuan:this is the only room in this dungeon yet it's so empty we didn't encounter any monsters in this place
(He glance everywhere)
Xuan: ilia can you make your fire stronger, so I can see and scan this room better
Ilia:ugh.. seriously?
(She increase the intensity of her fireball to lit up the place as it got brighter)
Xuan: this is it
(He spotted the ground without flesh xuan dug the ground and found an big chest inside, nico inspect the chest if it was with trap, he found only seal on it)
The group lifted the chest, it was heavy whatever inside is must be important, the group stole glances they decided to open it, Jacob with his seal breaker open the chest, eyes open wide, in awe with such treasures they found diamonds, golds, even artifacts the group forgot about Jacob... They search the chest as if Jacob drint exist Jacob didn't think much about it... Until his feet was binded by rope with infuse magic
Jacob: what the- what are you guys doing!?
(Jacob confused until hime realize... Hidden dungeons tend to spawn more treasures time to time with such dungeon with no monsters just treasure... They stumble upon gold mine... Jacob gut feelings was correct but he didn't expected the group was the danger not the dungeon, he tried to break free from it but even his hands got tied)
Davis: sorry pal... Your just in the wrong place and wrong time... Don't take it personal... We can't just have this place leak from outsider with this we will be filthy rich!
Ilia: can we get this over with
Xuan: I found an hole with seal that prevent anyone from coming out of it but with looks of this hole it's deep and steep if we push him in this hole I doubt he'd survive
Nico: good idea
*They dragged Jacob, Jacob horrified*
Jacob:please don't this...! I won't talk about this area my lips are sealed..! Please! I beg of you!
(Jacob desperate pleas, he wished he didn't open the gat, he wished he listened to his adoptive mother advice, to not become an adventurer he can only look at the group with looks of despair in his face, he knew that even if he beg they wouldn't listen but despite that he continues to do..so because Jacob is... Desperate to survive to go back home, as he was pushed off the hole he falls, the seal supposed to stop anyone from entering but due to special mana properties of Jacob he falls through the barrier seal, as he falls he grit his teeth... What flows in his emotions was it regret...no it was rage how come his fate to he so cruel that he died at his first adventure... He shouldn't have trusted this strangers to begin with at last of his regret is rage to himself to being so naive)
As Jacob falls it been an minutes since his still falling he accpected his death, he thought next life he will live not being naive, and he will never trust anyone ever again, splash he hit an liquid but it's more dense than water it's heavy to move... As he sees an broken Temple flooded with blood... Giant rib cage, pillars of flesh... He swims towards the highest place as he climbed the Temple... Everything about the temple or whom it belongs is completely ruined no details to this area....
Days had passed, this temple had light source despite being underneath the ground... But he hasn't eaten anything yet... Nor had any water...
More days had passed unable to endure it anymore...
Jacob would do something desperate... Because he wish to survive... As he bites into the pillar of flesh, he chew it raw and steel himself to eat and survive, he drink on the flood of blood... Everything just to survive....
Desperation.... How long he must endure this
As he collapsed his stomach in pain, his body felt overwhelming hot
Jacob: is this...how I will die?
I refuse! I refuse to...die.... Not like this ... If there's an god! I! Loathe this situation you put me into! I-
(The ground shakes)
[???]: How dare you mortal... Gnaw at my flesh thy shall pay with their life...!
(The blood pool rises as the flesh pillars deformed as it begin to take form into beast made of flesh)
Jacob: I don't care who you are...!
[???]:Such courage.... But how long thy will go?
Jacob: I refuse to just lie down and die! I won't let anyone dictate how I shall die...! Do your worst!
The flesh beast stopped moving as if they frozen Jacob ready to fight with nothing but his bare fist despite not being fighter nor able to draw mana to attack, he refuse to just die the determination in his eyes to survive
[???]: How did you even enter this pocket dimension?
Answer me! For I shall spare your life depends on your answer
Jacob: I was betrayed...! By my party... They push me trough the hole... That has seal on it... I thought... I was goner... But that's how I am here....
[???]: HAHAHAHAHA! You deserve it for being weak!
But even trough I'm the ruler of survival of the fittest... Nothing much more I detest that those back stabbers... So I had favor that will work for you
Jacob: favor...?
[???]: Yes, I want you to go up there ... And leave this place and destroy the one's that betrayed me..!
Jacob: how!? Do you have any idea how deep we are....
[???]:it does not matter, with my divine power I shall bestow to you...! That is easy to fix however do you have what it takes to become my disciple- no... You shall become my son
Jacob:your son!? I don't even know who you are!
Show yourself!
[???]: I'm the god of flesh
Jacob: god of flesh? I never heard of an god like you
[???]: Ofcourse you wouldn't those who betrayed me make sure nobody would remember my existence that's why I couldn't even take my form, once an god is forgotten they cannot take form they will remain nothing but remnant of their former self an scattered divinity, so everything you see here is me, the flesh you bite and devourer is part of me
Jacob: oh... Sorry but I did it just to survive-
[???]: Precisely... That's why I like you, when I was still an god my rule is to make the strongest strive from the weakest and they called me the most evil god in existence... How lucky for you
Jacob: The most evil god!?
[???]: They see my existence as cruelty and unjust but I'm part of the balance, I exist so that the strong and weak had place, their own grounds but now the world is broken, everything collapsing soon your world will be destroyed by them
Jacob: them? Who's them... Who betrayed you
[???]:the gods and goddesses alliance they join forces to kill me! But because of my power and I was part of the world balance I was true immortal... Just like the other primordial beings I was unkillable... So they sealed me away... I don't know who's behind this... What I want you to do is find the instigator! The one behind it all... I wish for you to make them pay on my behalf as my son!
Jacob:but how... How would I make them pay ...
[???]: How? Destroy their temples!
Jacob: but I don't have power-
[???]: Don't have? Soon you will inherit everything I have! But before that I shall train you so you'd better be grateful... That I let you live and become strong
Jacob was trained by the god of flesh by manipulating his flesh into all kinds of beings for Jacob to fight as Jacob continue to devour parts of the god of flesh do does his body undergoing evolution, the long conversation they had was just the very beginning of it, Jacob trained for 2 whole years, before he was able to devour and dried the pocket space the flesh itself is now with Jacob ... With new attained power ...
The god of flesh divine authority he climbed the hole, and came out of the dungeon... So much time had passed since then ...
The gods and goddesses oversee the humans... For s moment they felt the divine power of god of flesh they all couldn't help but gaze from one person.
Jacob the son of god of flesh, the new demi god had been born.
They all stare with mixed feelings some were in awe, some were dreaded by such revelation.... And one has with disgust and utter hatred
The goddess of light: the vile creature able to escape the seal, did it weaken!?
The god of war: no, it appears that we have such anomly in our plate... We must crash it before it fully grew as threat
The goddess of darkness: we will sent our our choosen champions to destroy the threat
The continue conversation of the gods and goddesses, Jacob was unaware of the fact his existence is known by them, but jacob had one plan before he do the favor for the god of flesh.... And avenge him.. he must have his revenge at those who betrayed him first.
As Jacob with new powers he plan to travel back into the nearest town, with his new powers will he use it for good or evil? The questions Jacob thought to himself as he walks through the dense forest... He was met with group of priest exorcise attacking him from all directions jacob was wounded, but despite that he just grin as his wound simply regenerated he remembers the god of flesh power that bestow to him one of them is absolute regeneration, and the weapon is hidden in plain sight it's on his left arm jacob grab his left arm and pulled it hard he grit his teeth as tear off his own left arm the priest are shocked by his actions Jacob then hold it as the left arm become an bone axe what follows his left arm regenerating, Jacob faced off against the group, Jacob use the axe as he swing it the blood flows in the axe sharp tip unleashing an arc of blood slash towards of the priest exorcise severing the man in half, Jacob then unleash an full 360 spin unleashing an wide range splash of the compressed shot blood wiping out the group with ease, as the gods and goddesses who watch jaocb actions couldn't help but be enraged it was really the god of flesh powers, as jacob devour the bodies of the people he killed to hide the evidence, he gained more power by absorbing the divinity and mana within the body the fight was one sided, the group of priest exorcise never had experience of fighting someone like jacob so it was clear... They're no match for his power, as he continues walking towards the city of runnard
City of runnard not an well know city it was small and not rich place the folks livelihood is potato and glass production, their adventurer guild has only rank 2 and alot of beginners rank 3, that was back then 2 years ago so Jacob will had to get some information what had happened over the past 2 years when he was on the sealed pocket dimension...
