《Ancient Adventurer Return》Mystical Dungeon

« You know Aria, you could've told me that the creatures in the Mystical Dungeon weren't necessarily at the Mystical Tier. » Said Bora as he sat on a rock, watching Katarea destroying her ennemies with barely concealed amusement.
' Yeah sorry about that. I have been trying to infuse divine energy in your body ever since you woke up. That's why I forgot to tell you a lot of things. But it seems like it still cannot work. I thought that even if you weren't at the necessary tier I could maybe just reinforce your body, but it's impossible for now. Anyway Katarea is a Djinn, and Djinns are usually underestimated because they can't use magic or just a little bit of it. Katarea should be able to go on toe with a Tier 8 Monster if she really pushed herself.' Said Aria. Bora nodded and went back to watching his Djinn. She seemed to have finish the fight and was searching for any loot the monsters could've left behind.
After a few minutes she walked towards Bora with her hands full of crystals. Bora looked confused so Katarea cleared her throat and began to explain what they were.
« Since you are a God you most certainly never used those things my Lord. They are called Soul Crystals, they are the remnant of the Aria, be it an awakened one or not, of a creature. It can be used to replenish your mana or make you more powerful. If you are at Tier 1 then all the Soul Crystals of higher tiers will make you more powerful once you use them, but a Tier 0 or 1 will just help you get your mana back. Though it is possible that a crystal of the same tier as you will make you more powerful after you use it, but it can only happen if you are at the bottom of said Tier. » Said Katarea. She then looked up to see if Bora had understood what she said and he nodded.

« To use them you just have to break it and the energy will seep into you. Those crystals are quite weak so I think they should only help you go from Tier 0 to 1. » Said Katarea. Bora smiled and started to break the crystals in his hands, one after the other. While the mana seeped into his body, giving him the sensation that a fire was burning inside of him, Bora thought of something.
' I can't possibly lie to her forever about my identity.'
´ Worry not Master, after your link with her becomes powerful enough, which should happen soon, I will be able to talk with her. Given that I possess the energy of the God of Greed, she should believe me. Also you are technically the future God of Greed, so she's kinda right to call you her lord. Ah...Now that I think about it, I should've told you about those people.´ Said Aria.
' Those people ? Who are you talking....' Bora suddenly stopped as he started to feel like his body was on fire, and the temperature continued to go up.
« AAARRGGHH !!! » Bora's screamed at the top of his lungs, he felt like he was being burned to death.
' Okay that wasn't supposed to happen, what the hell is happening ?! Master can you hear me ?!' Yelled Aria, but Bora continued to scream while Katarea didn't even bat an eye.
´ Wait that's....* Sigh* And here I was panicking for nothing. Master I know it hurts like hell but bear with it for now. I felt the same thing when the divine energy entered inside me for the first time. It's just that you are not used to Mana, you body is trying to reject it, but your soul is trying to absorb it, so yeah there's kinda a war inside your body right now.

Bora continued to scream for a few minutes, his mind nearly becoming blank, but he recovered. He got up, coughing blood and stood on shaking legs.
« Katarea.... » Said Bora beckoning her to come closer. After she did, he put a hand on her shoulder and glared at her. While he was infinitely weaker than her, the fact that the energy of the God of Greed was inside him made him the most terrifying being at the moment.
« Fuck you.... » And after saying that, Bora walked past her and continued towards the next room. Katera remained frozen for a minute before she ran after him, yelling that she was sorry.

Jungle Mystical Dungeon, Two hours later.
After two hour of fighting Bora and Katarea stopped. They both knew that the next room would be the boss room. And according to Aria, since they only fought with weak monsters the boss would be strong as hell. Needless to say that this information didn't really make Bora happy, especially since he struggled to fight even against some Tier 1 monsters.
Also for some reasons, after the first rooms, the monsters stopped dropping crystals, and the only loots Bora got were some crafting materials and a bow. And he couldn't even know whether the bow was strong or not. Katarea wasn't all that knowledgeable about those things, which was normal since she was a summon. Aria knew a lot of things, but he wasn't all knowing, so Bora had to settle with no answer for now. Though Aria did tell him that Humans had received a gift from God that could help him, a bracelet that would give it's wearer a lot of informations about himself, his Aria, his equipment and a lot of other things.....It could even serve as a bag, a bag with a lot of space.
' Okay so, what are we gonna do ? The Boss will be way too strong for us to beat, and let's not even talk about the Guardian. I say we're pretty much fucked right now.' Said Bora who had only just now realized how difficult his situation was.
'Nyahahaha! Master I told you that you couldn't use the divine energy because you were too weak for now. But don't you know someone who's strong enough to wield it even just a little ?' Said Aria.
« .......Hehehehe~ »
« My lord, why are you looking at me like that ? »

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
