Envy's mansion became an abandoned ruin.

In the beginning, no one dared to approach the poisonous swamp that had suddenly appeared around it, killing everything in its vicinity - even knocking down the birds with its putrid vapors.

But even that swamp had disappeared after a few days just as suddenly as it appeared and the site became a prime hunting spot for thieves and beggars searching for anything worth selling.

"Yo, Orange, how about there?"

A thin man in rags leaned down looking down the collapsed spiral staircase.

"Man, are you stupid? Haven't you heard the official statement? That's the basement. The elves were being imprisoned there, even if it's not completely buried, which I'm sure it is, what do you reckon we find there? Some rags?"

A thin man's companion, an older-looking fellow with a long grayish beard wearing similar rags waved his hand dismissively while checking out a piece of bent yellowish metal he just pulled from under the piece of the wall.

"You better come help me move this ruble, this may be a part of a golden chandelier."

He said examining the metal closely.

"Who's stupid? Don't make me laugh, you've never even seen a normal chandelier, not to mention a golden one! I have a good feeling about that basement..."

The thin man smirked cheekily.

"Whatever, man. I'm not going to risk breaking my legs just to uncover some broken piss-buckets or whatever."

Orange shrugged his shoulders and turned away.

"Your loss, he he he~!"

His companion cackled and started carefully climbing down, using whatever available footing was left.

The truth was, he received a system quest encouraging him to check the basement and that might have been just the stroke of good luck he was waiting for, for so long.

He received the quest rather suddenly and since he was talking with Orange, he didn't have time to read what the reward was, but that could be easily made up to.

"Huh...?"

Since he didn't have any fire or holy type skill, the homeless couldn't see all that well after getting to the bottom of the stairs, but still, he could barely make out that the doorway in front of him is tightly blocked by the soil mixed with debris.

Was there even a point in getting down there?

"System, show active quest."

He commanded in a hushed voice and a window with only a single quest appeared in front of his eyes.

"Show quest details."

/Basement of wonders

/Quest objective:

Die becoming the nutrients for the weakened fallen half-elf

Reward: ---

"Wh-what the...?! HFUMGPHF...!"

As the homeless man raised his voice staring at the outrageous quest description, the earth blocking the doorway started crumbling and an ash-gray hand glowing with green light erupted from within and grasped the thin man's throat.

"?!?!?!?!!!!!"

The homeless man tried to struggle but his meager skills were completely useless against the vice-grip of the hand.

More of the earth and rabble crumbled down and a soil-stained ash-gray dried up head and the malnourished torso got uncovered.

"...hateful... so hateful..."

The mummified gray being whispered coarsely, tightening its grip on the homeless man's throat.

"...why are you so full of life while I'm on the verge of dying once again...?"

Its mutter changed into a furious growl.

The green light enveloped the thin man, sipping inside him through his opened mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, just to get sucked back out and be absorbed into the ash-gray being still half-stuck inside the blocked passage.

"I want it... I want your life... I want it all...!"

It growled.

And as the green light was being drained out of the homeless man, the poor victim was getting thinner and thinner as if something was sucking him dry while the ash-gray being was recovering just as rapidly.

Soon, it was easy to tell that the gray being was in fact a male, a handsome youth with piercing green eyes and short brown curly hair that not quite covered his unusual pointy ears.

"..."

The homeless man turned into a dried-up husk opened his mouth in a soundless scream for the last time, and died, completing his rewardless quest.

"...haah..."

The gray-skin young man breathed out with relief and threw the dry husk to the side.

His nourished body stopped glowing and he broke free from the grave he spent system-knows how long.

"My man? Apple? Are you there? I've heard a weird noise!"

"...!"

Orange shouted down the broken staircase looking for his companion, unknowingly getting the attention of the ash-gray young man.

"Did you fell down and broke your neck? Man, say something if you're still alive and need help...!"

The man called, making a worried expression.

"..."

The ash-gray youth's handsome face twisted in fury as he looked up towards the source of the voice.

"...so hateful..."

The ash-gray youth muttered, clenching his fists, and his body got enveloped in green light once again.
