Rise Of The Worm Sovereign Chapter 29
Advertisement
"Alright, it says that I need to scan and obtain the objects, so… How do I carry them then?" Lin Wu thought to himself in confusion.
Just as Lin Wu was wondering about it a notification sound rang in his head and a window appeared in front of him.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
SUGGESTION: The host can store objects in the systems inventory. The current storage space that is available is three cubic meters.
————————————————————————————————
"Ah, that is convenient. System, store the broken spear in the inventory." Lin Wu ordered.
Just as Lin Wu said that, the broken spear that was embedded in the ground disappeared. He then saw a new window appear in front of him.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
INVENTORY: 1. Broken spear (heavily damaged)
————————————————————————————————
Ensuring that the spear had been successfully stored, Lin Wu decided to continue on with his quest. He took a look towards the map for a bit before turning towards the North. He looked at the path ahead and found it to be much easier than before.
Since the main obstacle that was the lava pool had cooled down and turned into solid rock, Lin Wu did not have much problem crossing it. Another thing he noticed was that the large rock that he had climbed over to cross the lava pool was nowhere to be found.
Instead, what was left behind in its place was an empty hole. The hole wasn't that deep being only a meter deep. He wondered where the rock could have gone but then attributed it to the cultivators.
'They probably destroyed the rock or something. If anything, I read in the novels from my previous life is true, then this should be an easy feat for cultivators.' Lin Wu thought to himself as he started crawling.
With Lin Wu's new physique, his movement speed had increased by bounds. Even if he didn't dig into the ground and moved through it, he was still fast. His increased size only accentuated it even more. It didn't take Lin Wu much longer to reach the first marker, and he was there in ten minutes.

Upon reaching there, he saw the object in question. It was a broken metallic plate that seemed to be a part of something much bigger. It had engraved patterns on it that were incomprehensible to Lin Wu, yet he could tell that they were special.
'So this is the first marker, let's see what it actually is…' Lin Wu thought.
"System, scan the metal plate." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
SCANNER FUNCTION: Activated
SCANNING: Please wait a moment.
SCANNING COMPLETED: New data obtained, please view it in the relevant window.
DATA BANKS: Updated.
QUEST UPDATE: Objectives completed 1/8.
————————————————————————————————
A string of notifications appeared in front of Lin Wu as the system scanned the metal plate. He waited for the new window to appear and then soon saw it appear.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
TARGET: Broken metal plate
INFO: According to the system's data banks, the metal piece is a part of a mid grade spirit armor. More accurately, it is the component of the armor which is called as the heart protector. More information cannot be obtained as there is no identifying mark present on it.
CURRENT STATUS: Heavily damaged.
COMPOSITION: Alloyed heavy bronze, spirit stone dust( low grade).
FORMATION ARRAY: Basic reinforcement formation array. (critically damaged).
NOTE: Repair impossible.
————————————————————————————————
After reading the information window, Lin Wu felt a bit disappointed, as he had expected for it to be something better. But looking at its condition, he realized that it was far too damaged to be repaired. Al thought Lin Wu still did not know if he would be able to repair the broken spear either. After all, he was a worm right now, he couldn't use it, could he?
~Sigh~
'Let's just continue and see what else I can find.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"System, store the broken metal plate into the inventory." Lin Wu ordered.

Then in the next second the metal plate in front of him vanished and a notification appeared in front of him, telling him that it had been stored in the inventory. He nodded at this and continued onward to the next marker.
This marker was a little to the left from the one he was at. The path was straight overall if not for the craters and shards of rock embedded into the ground. These shards were sharp and Lin Wu could not help but imagine him getting hurt by them by mistake.
But thankfully he was a crystalline worm now and was impervious to things like this… at least up to a certain level. He continued crawling and ten minutes later he was at the next marker. But when he got close to it he was surprised at what he saw.
In front of him was the top half of a skeleton. There were only the ribs, spine, arms and skull with the pelvis and legs missing. From the cracks on the bones, Lin Wu could only imagine the force with which it must have been broken. Another eye-catching thing he noticed was a thing that was stuck in the ribs of the skeleton.
The thing in question looked like a piece of sharp rock that was embedded in the ribs of the skeleton, right where the heart of a person would have been. The ribs between which it was stuck had been shattered.
"Damn, that looks terrible. Though I wonder if it happened after the person was dead or before." Lin Wu spoke in a slightly scared and curious tone.
Lin Wu checked his map once again to ensure that this was the next quest marker and he was not mistaken.
"System, scan the skeleton… Umm, half-skeleton." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
SCANNER FUNCTION: Activated
SCANNING: Please wait a moment.
SCANNING COMPLETED: New data obtained, please view it in the relevant window.
DATA BANKS: Updated.
QUEST UPDATE: Objectives completed 2/8.
————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu ignored the first window that showed the same notifications as before and instead switched to the next window, which actually showed the information about the half-skeleton. But just as he was about to read it, he was utterly shocked by a new flashing window that showed up.
~Ding~

ALERT!: High Energy object found.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
