This story starts somewhere around Korea, two thousand years ago.

It started with a seemingly normal, if not a bit too hot, day. Two strangers wearing long black cloaks were walking under the blazing sun.

« Norus, give me some water.....My throat is so dry i feels like i ate sand. » Said the first stranger to his friend. Said friend chuckled before throwing him a gourd filled with water.

« You know, i personally feels like we're both gonna die of thirst if you continue to drink so much, Bora » Said Norus as his chuckle changed into a loud laugh. Bora didn't seem to listen to him as he hurriedly drank everything inside the gourd and sighed.

« We're already close to that rumoured temple anyway. I think it should be riiiiight...There ! » Shouted Bora as the temple came into view. Well it was more correct to call it a ruin.

« Hmm, don't you think it kinda ressembles those temples we saw in that country where they worshipped those people called pharaohs ? » Said Bora as Norus sighed.

« Yes maybe, anyway we just need to see what's inside and tell the emperor. I honestly do not even want to enter those ruins. Last time i nearly died because of some weird poisonous traps. » Said Norus shivering as he remembered those traps.

Bora simply laughed and started to run towards the temple. Norus shook his head before starting to run after Bora.

After they both arrived at the temple they had to move like snakes to just get to the entrance, this temple was really nothing more than a ruin now. But Bora and Norus finally reached the entrance, just some normal

stairs that seemed to go extremely deep into the ground.

But before they even entered, a strange light got their attentions. Looking closely the light seemed to come from a skull, a skull made out...Gold !

« Bora don't even think about it ! » Shouted Norus, seeing a greedy look on Bora's face.

« Urgh, fiiine~ » Said Bora, but just after Norus turned his head, Bora dashed towards the object and grabbed it.

« Bora it told you no, what is so..... » Norus couldn't even finish his sentence because the skull suddenly started to shine, it then vibrated and fell to the ground as Bora dropped it, hissing in pain.

Bora looked like he was about to say something but stopped as his eyes widened when he looked up. Norus didn't even have to look up, because as soon as Bora dropped the skull he heard the most powerful thunder in his life. But he did look up, and saw the apocalypse.

Thunder was striking the earth, the sky was so dark he couldn't even see the clouds, and the sun suddenly turned into a red moon.

« What the hell is that ?! » Yelled Bora as he and Norus stepped back. However before Norus answered, the thunder started to strike the temple, hitting Norus.

Bora was about to go help him, unfortunately something grabbed his legs, making him fall on the ground. He looked behind him and saw some weird silver vines coming out of the entrance , wrapped around his legs.

« Norus !!! » Bora screamed, but it was too late, as Norus stood up, he was dragged into the temple by the vines.

« Bora !!! » Norus screamed, running after Bora, sadly the thunder striked the entrance and it crumbled, the falling rocks sealing it.

Norus had no time to think about it , because when he turned around....

* Extremely Loud Roar *

*************************

« Ughh my head » Said Bora as he woke up. He didn't know how many time had passed, but he sure knew something.....He had to get away from here. Standing up on his trembling legs, he walked with difficulty towards the rocks that sealed the entrance. However he quickly understood that he wouldn't get out anytime soon. By the looks of it the stairs were completely covered in rocks.

Shaking his head, Bora turned around and decided to explore this temple, with some luck there may be another entrance somewhere. Walking in a long corridor filled with torches, Bora grabbed one and continued to walk for what seemed to be hours before he reached what looked like to be a treasure room.

It was filled with mountains of gold and precious stones. But what really got his attention was another skull, though this one was completely made out of crystal. Bora didn't want to grab it, but he couldn't control himself. It was like he was posessed by some spirit. And he only snapped out of it when the skull was activated.

« By the Gods! » Exclaimed Bora as the skull exploded and a text appeared on the wall of the treasure room. It was written in a language that Bora had never seen, but for some reasons he could read it.

« Sweet dreams of treasure,

Nightmares of poverty,

Back from his own misadventure,

He who desires infinitely,

Shall get back his liberty,

Abandoned for his misdeed,

He comes back, The God of Greed »

Immediately after he read what was written on the wall, a black mist began to ooze from the mountain of treasure.

« What is this thing ?! » Shouted Bora as he tried to move, however just as he turned around and tried to escape, the black mist entered his body.

And just like that, Bora lost conciousness. And God only knows how long he slept.
