Advertisement
The group just arrived in the Mexico City International Airport. Alex, Aria, Professor James and Cindy.
Apparently, Cindy is not just the professor assistant, but she also his top student, the professor like to bring her around to help him appraise relics and translate markings.
Alex said "5 flights and 6 cities in less than 10 days, many more the next few days.. I guess when the doomsday comes, I will not miss airplanes"
The groups exit the airport gate and there was one person, a guy waiting for them.
"Professor John!! Professor John"
The professor stops and introduces the person. "Alex this is Robert, he is from the science of human civilization foundation, SOHC, this foundation is what keeps the research going when the university and the government stop our funding. Now they help me just about anything regarding the relic site.
"Haloo Mr. Alex, the professor has told me about you."
Robert starring at Aria, a beautiful girl and seeing standing close to Alex.
"This is your girlfriend Mr. Alex?"
Aria was startled...
"No.. no.. this is my associates, don't joke with me, I am old enough and already have a wife and two daughters"
Robert "Aa. I m sorry Mr. Alex, nice to meet you, Ms. Aria"
Aria:...
.
.
Alex wife and daughters.. that is new information for Aria.. she has mixed feeling about this.
"Let's go, it was such short notice, so I only bring a simple car, but the ruin is only 20 kilometers away from here"
Mexico is a country in the southern portion of North America. The history of Mexico itself backdated to 8000 BC and is identified as one of five cradles of civilization. Home for many advance civilization such as Toltec, Teotihuacan, Maya, and Aztec, until being conquered and colonized by the Spanish empire in the 15th century.

The group arrived in the ruin of teopanzolco, meaning abandoned temple, until this day no one knows why it was abandoned. The main structure is the large double pyramid. Its the placed to worship gods. The Aztecs were known to practice human sacrifice. in this ruin, a scientist has found a mass grave site of 92 mutilated bodies of men, women and children.
This site is actually one of the relic sites that was treated as special by the professor. Only one and a half year ago there was an earthquake which revealed another hidden chamber. This is what interest Alex the most. He walks down the temple into the caves with high hopes.
Under the temple, the first they found was a simple maze, and then there was a mid-size chamber with many marking around it. This is where the Professors got the research material for his study. At one corner of the room, there were what seems to be a wall opening. There were many rubles and stones around, this is part of the ruins that was open by the earthquakes. After the opening, there was a long path down for about 500 meters In here there was a larger chamber it was a big hall as big as the soccer field. Professor James has mentioned this hall chamber in his book, This room has more marking then all 6 sites combined, This chamber was accidentally open by the earthquake 1,5 year ago, and become The professors' main reason to get enough samples to translate about the coming doomsday.
Alex feels much relax now, to be able to go into the room means the seal already broken. This seal was supposed to be only open up after the Doomsday pillar arrived. And as expected the earthquakes manage to open up a path to the secret chamber. Alex walk around slowly checking some of the wall Alex study the wall markings, finally, Alex finds the spot he was looking for.

"Professor this is the spot, this is the way in"
"What do you mean? I already check all the wall using a sensor, there is nothing behind the wall."
"Believe me, Professor, our current technology is not good enough to check what's behind the wall"
The professor replied, "how to get in?"
Alex had some C4 in his storage rings, but this is too risky, as they are in the underground, if the blast too high, they could be trapped or the entry become inaccessible. Apparently, there was no other way.
"I have more surprises for you Professor"
Alex took out the golem from the ring. The group of four, Aria, Cindy, Robert and the Professor were shocked.
"This is the artifact that I got from the first relic"
Alex orders the golem to push the door with full power. The golem currently has the strength of the peak stage mortal realm. hopefully, it will be enough to open up the door.
BRRAAAKKKKK...!!
Fortunately it really does enough, or Alex would need to use some explosive indeed..
The group finally move inside the next room still in amazement looking at the golem. Alex took back the golem and finally reached the secret chamber.
It was supposed to be a simple grab and take plan. Actually, Alex already decides to come and grab this artifact from the very first day. This ruin has the artifact that Alex really needs, this will be the one that Alex hope to be the solution to save his daughter Tiffany from the plague.
Alex already knows about the function of the artifact and where to get it. He also already knows about the earthquakes that should neutralize the seal. His initial was to just grab and take from the site, but this time he includes the professor into his plan. He wanted the professor to believe him and help him to prepare for doomsday.
The group enter the secret chamber and walking around the room, The professor found another set of writing, this is what he came looking for. As for Alex, he already knows what he aims for. The coffin in the middle of the room. Alex walks closer, and then open up the lid. This time, it's not a ring, there was an amulet hold by the corpse. Alex took the amulet and put it into the storage ring.
"Finally the Amulet of Sun"
it's a medium rank artifact.
The professor realizes that Alex took something but he didn't say anything.
Alex waited for the professor to documented the writings and finally they walk out of the relics.
"This seems pretty easy," Alex thought...

.
When they were out of the temples, they were surprised to see many people standing outside the temples, holding rifles. There are around 30 of them all armed.
The person in the middle of the group who seems to be their leader speaks
"I really hope you guys find something interesting"
The professor reply, "who are you guys?"
Surprisingly Robert was the one to answer,

8 248World Revisit
Having no collection of her past, a confused young girl ends up in world unknown to her. A world with the nature as their source of life and magic, but at the same time also the cause of their despair and sorrow. The world seems to be facing a dangerous calamity. Being treated as an intruder, she will have to gain the trust of the people around her and find a way to live through this mess. With not much hope left, what can be done to prevent it? Nobody knows for sure, but a battle of life and death is bound to come. NOTE: Consider this story as the first version. I want to keep working on it so that the story can actually finish at one point for future development. I want to eventually make it a webtoon comic, but the story still needs to be written and the art still needs be improved. So I'll keep writing for now, but expect the final result to be much better than the story now. Until then, I hope we can have a great time together with this writing experiment. Thanks!
