When I met with danger in the desert due to some accident (self-inflicted injury), I would never have expected that I would be the last to arrive in the temporary adventuring group that I had gathered … But when I considered my pitiful Luck stat, this seemed to be only natural. In that case, it seemed like it was a wise decision for me to leave early and be the first to arrive?
More than twenty days ago, Adam and Marguerite's journey to the North Pole finally came to an end. It wasn't that Adam finally admitted that he had no sense of direction, but rather that after overcoming a series of difficulties and obstacles, they achieved an epic achievement that no mortal could surpass. They successfully reached the impossible destination at the North Pole of the world, proving that the world of Aichy was round … and square.
"This is the legendary end of the endless sea? The boundary of the world? "
They passed through the obstacles of mountains, wrestled with the Yeti at the North Pole (that was what Adam believed, but the Yeti actually wanted to cook them), played around with the Ice Trolls (the trolls still wanted to cook them), raced with the White Dragons and Snow Dragons (the dragons failed in their attempt to change their taste), passed through the Ice Wall of Sighs that prevented the living from advancing, and finally arrived at the northernmost part of the world. However, what they saw was an unforgettable scene.
It was a cliff, but it extended to an endless horizon. If one took a step forward, they would fall into the endless void.
Even the seawater here had been frozen. Even Adam instinctively felt fear as he looked at the bottomless abyss at the edge of the cliff.
Creator Goddess Eich's understanding of the world was connected to the world. When the Goddess of Eich believed that the world should be a cube, the world truly became a cube. Nobody knew what would happen if anyone took a single step forward.
The magnificent glaciers created the most orderly ice plains and ice cliffs in the world. Below them was a bottomless abyss. Humans on the ice plains were no different from dust.
The Creator Goddess was showing off her miraculous abilities. Even the insensitive Adam was stunned by this scene.
Then, he took out a memory crystal and began recording the surrounding scenery.
"You can enjoy the scenery?"
Marguerite really thought that Adam had a stomachache. She couldn't believe that he would make a souvenir of the journey. Didn't he just walk wherever he went? He ate barbecued meat at the volcano and caught fish and prawns at the river. How could he still have the sensibility to appreciate the scenery?
"Oh, if that guy sees this, it will probably help his Ice Magic a little. This is the real Ice Aeon …"
Adam's casual explanation made Marguerite inexplicably unhappy. I didn't see that Adam was so meticulous to his woman.
But then, he smiled faintly. At a time like this, what else could he not accept? Men and women had their own way of getting along, and men also had their own way of getting along with each other.
While Adam was running around with the camera, Marguerite began to build an ice house. It seemed that they were planning to spend the night here.
After recording for a few seconds, Adam realized that it was a waste of effort. It was too cold here. The Memory Crystal only worked for a few seconds before it shattered.
Since there was no path ahead, he hesitated whether he should take advantage of the fact that the sky wasn't dark yet and suggest to return as soon as possible. However, he felt that it was somewhat meaningless. He had worked so hard to get here, only to have to turn back.
"Eh, what is this?"
Then, he raised his head and discovered that there was a huge monument of white ice at the border.
The top of the huge ice monument extended all the way into the clouds, but he didn't see it at all when he was far away. Only when he was close to the border of this world could he not ignore such an existence. It was very mysterious.
"This place is the end of the world, and there is no path ahead. However, in order to commend the brave ones who saw this monument for their fearlessness and sacrifice, and for the fearless ones to not take the boring path back, you can engrave your name and destination on the monument. You can engrave your name and destination on the monument, and I will use my supreme authority to send you there immediately. "
On the huge monument, other than the strange message, there were only two names left at a position about one meter high.
The strange inscription on the monument and the lack of other people's messages made people suspect that this was a boring prank.
However, the inscription on the monument was clearly written in an unknown language. Even an uncouth person like Adam could understand it. It was obviously a little strange.
However, the inscription at the bottom of the inscription, which had a strange godly power, explained everything.
"Your mother, Aichy."
Just like how programmers liked to leave behind a few Easter eggs when creating a virtual world, the creator of all life, the Goddess of Creation, Aichy, who didn't leave behind any miracles, also left her handwriting at the border of this world.
In this world's most difficult place to reach, there was a door that could lead to any corner of the world. One couldn't help but want to sigh. Perhaps, the Goddess Aichy wasn't as old-fashioned and solemn as the legends made her out to be. Perhaps, she also once looked at her own work with pride, and then left her signature and footprints in satisfaction, leaving behind a surprise gift for the bravest adventurers.
Adam and Marguerite felt an indescribable warmth in their hearts. This was a warmth that developed in their hearts. Adam and Marguerite instinctively believed the words on the monument, no matter how ridiculous the content was.
They also instinctively knew that this was a chance for each person to travel to another world only once in their lifetime. However, no matter if it was the highest level of heaven or the lowest level of the bottomless abyss, it was possible to instantly travel to both worlds. No power or person would be able to stop all of this from happening.
They also instinctively knew that this was an unexpected surprise left behind by the Goddess of Creation for their children. That was why they couldn't tell anyone about the truth of this place after they left.
They could invite them to explore this place as well, but they couldn't tell them just what kind of surprise awaited them here. Without reaching this final step, they would never be able to see the inscription on the monument no matter what.
Adam fell silent, while Marguerite smiled. The two of them exchanged glances and tacitly inscribed each other's names on the monument. Only the destination was identical.
"Adam Han, a freedom fighter who pursues adventure. I hope to reach the 100th level of the abyss, the Ashen Furnace's Dragontail Bar."
"Marguerite, a mage who pursues truth and love. I hope to reach the 100th level of the abyss, the Ashen Furnace's Dragontail Bar."
Time flashed, and the next instant, everyone in the Dragontail Bar's main hall stared in astonishment at the two people who suddenly appeared.
The two of them exchanged glances. Adam laughed out loud, while Marguerite covered her mouth and smiled faintly. This was truly a pleasant surprise, a warm little gift that made everyone happy.
The two of them looked at the bar in their memories. Demons and ghosts were still gathered there. The one-eyed succubus lady boss stared at them dumbfoundedly. Everything seemed to be the same as before, except for a familiar female voice that suddenly interrupted the two's joyous time.
"Idiot Adam, Sister Marguerite, why are you only here now? I've been waiting for almost a month …"
A familiar person was already waiting for them at the familiar table. At this time, he was holding a glass of orange cocktail and looking at them proudly.
…
Everyone else had already arrived at the gathering location. A certain summoner was still in the desert, enjoying the pleasant surprise of a disaster. But when he arrived at the gathering location, an even greater "surprise" was waiting for him.
If one had to find out who was the first to arrive and had chosen the best path with great care, yet was still the last to arrive, apart from Roland's despair-inducing luck stat, the only explanation would be the world's evil will.
"Fresh meat!"
When the tiefling Cassandra Carolyn woke up from her unconsciousness, she saw blood-red eyes and strange shouts. A large mouth filled with saliva seemed to be opening right in front of her.
Ferocious silver teeth were as blinding as an exorcist's blade. The saliva that represented hunger was about to drip onto her body.
"Don't eat me! Tieflings aren't tasty at all! My meat stinks! "
At this moment, Cassandra truly wished that she could no longer understand the mortal plane's human language. She had finally managed to escape from her enemies, only to fall into the hands of a desert cannibal tribe.
Cassandra was the daughter of the wealthy tycoon Ron, the owner of the desert oasis Haas. Due to the tiefling tribe's traditions, she had learned the mortal plane's language ever since she was young. She also received a scholar's education. Although she was only a tiefling, she was still the daughter of the Hart Oasis's ruler.
Tiefling meant "bastard" in the Chaos Abyss. And this was indeed the case. Tieflings were all descendants of demons and devils. No matter what species their parents were, most of them would eventually listen to the Chaos Abyss's summons and come to the bottomless Chaos Abyss.
In the Chaos Abyss, where the strong preyed on the weak, tieflings were considered to have excellent natural talent and individual power levels. However, it was quite difficult for them to show off. Most tieflings would die in battle, and the most common outcome would be to join a tiefling tribe.
Perhaps due to the demonkin bloodline, it was quite difficult for tieflings to have any virtuous individuals. Thieves, bandits, and bandits would forever be the "backbone" of a tiefling tribe.
Meanwhile, the wealthy tycoon Ron was a legendary individual among tieflings. He advocated peaceful trade and developed trade routes. Unknowingly, he became a world-famous major individual.
Cassandra Karolyn was his only daughter and heir. She was also the most beautiful flower in the Zinta Desert. She was known as the most beautiful black pearl.
Currently, "Black Pearl" Karolyn had an expression of fear. Apart from the cannibals who were jumping up and down in excitement, the black-masked and black-caped assassins had finally surrounded her.
The assassins unsheathed their swords and scimitars. They couldn't leave a single person alive in this assassination attempt. Since they encountered Karolyn, it was only a matter of a corpse bag.
Suddenly, the cannibal who was currently going through Karolyn's corpse bag started laughing. His laughter was filled with delight and insanity. He happily looked at the assassins around him and couldn't stop drooling, as if he was looking at a feast.
"More meat! Fresh meat! "
