《Dream Theater》Chapter 28 Sewers
Advertisement
“Lhyps what passes in your mind” became his only thought when he was nearly totally immersed in the waters of the sewers alone.
His task consisted of finding a group of cultist that prayed together in the sewers...alone, without any kind of reinforcement or help by anyone, and spying on them.
Lhyps had mentioned a promotion of some kind if this task was successful...but most likely they just wanted to get rid of him. Already the water was messing up his circuits and giving him problems. Fortunately enough he was prepared and had brought a little repair kit with him in case the prosthesis gave problems.
He took a turn left, one right, another left and he arrived...no where. The sewers were a maze and some considered the level 0 of the underground. Already when he had entered them people looked at him strangely. People once used to live here a long time ago but since the demons of the core became so aggressive no one dared set foot here. Except for him and some cultists who were probably way more equipped and trained than him if they choose such a location. Why did they gave him a different gun and equipment he would never understand.
He wondered a bit through those halls, some passages were barely walkable, others were large and had sidewalks and others still were totally inaccessible and closed. Sometimes he heard strange sounds from the surface, a train departing, a big machine working, a rat that moved but all those sounds made him even tenser because they covered the noises of the sewers. He already had descended in the core and didn’t want to repeat the experience, this was not the time to fight an Unhelm.
…
If his senses were sharp before, now he was felling asleep. He was hungry, damp, and sleepy. If he encountered a cultist now he would probably fail to shoot.

“Why did they gave me this ‘special’ suit for this operation!” before departing they gave him a special suit that was better suited for this place. Despite this he still had problems walking.

He heard voices, a distant sound, a group of men walking. He turned the corner and saw a group of red-cloaked men marching in procession and chanting something. They were all armed in some way, some with pistols, other with rifles, and still other with swords. If he was to attack now he would have been dead.
While he was thinking about what to do a metal cane came pressed against his skull. > a voice said. He slowly turned only to see that two cultists, those too with red robes, had their weapons against his temple. >
Pxan slowly stood up and walked with them. A cultist with a strange mask, one of a deer, greeted him >
Pxan stared at him for some seconds before responding >

Pxan looked at himself, they had managed to remove his gun, knives and even his little backpack without him noticing.

“Saying the same thing over and over again. For better or worse.” Aiden Lu awoke in a world that wasn’t his. There were familiarities, parallels, his old address, people he once knew, but people wielded superpowers, wondrous technology and magic beyond his age were used for the most mundane of tasks. Yet the world he awoke in was one dictated by constant conflict. Untold years ago, humanity crossed a line, a line that allowed integration to the wider Multiverse, an event that would later be known as The Apocalypse. Warp Gates to Otherworlds open completely at random, letting in alien things beyond comprehension or logic. Those who were blessed with power often give their lives to close these gates before the infections of alien realities become too great. The world is different in a way difficult for him to comprehend, yet there is a single difference that truly shook him, a sister dead in his old universe, alive but comatose here. Now reborn with his own unconventional power, he seeks to forge ahead, to continue on. Because in the end, a restart is a restart. One you can't hesitate to take advantage of. No matter where the path may lead, what can you do except to walk it? A modern post-post apocalypse story with both superpowers and high fantasy elements. Slow-paced and inspired by many of the things the author found enjoyable. Currently writing it for fun.
