Knocking on my door woke up, and I dragged myself from the bed, to open up. It was Will.
- Hi. Sorry to wake you up, but we have a gathering to discuss few things, and I think you should also be part of it.
I rubbed my eyes first, It felt like I had sand in them, then I yawned.
,m - What's it about?
- About our laws. It's ti for us to finally put that in writing. We need it, especially when more people soon will be coming to this city.
- Will... I'm no politician. I'm just a guy... I can punch hard and stuff, but you don't need to discuss laws. Here - I created another coin in my hands, identical to the ones Hatta possessed - If you need , call through this. I'll be going hunting in the anti.
He sighed.
- Where?
- I don't know - I shrugged my shoulders. - Maybe giants, maybe not.
- You should get yourself a hunter's badge.
- Fuck your badges.
- Are you gonna say the sa thing when we pass the laws?
- Yep. I'm the law, bitch - and I shadow walked past him.
- Seriously?
I ignored him, and just kept walking, heading towards the bathhouse.
- Hey! Peter! Hey! Damn it...
That was the last thing he said, and I heard.
I relaxed for a few minutes in the water, then swung by the cafeteria. With a full stomach the ti to decide where I will hunt ca. After I witnessed how much I can earn from hunting ghosts, the giants or any other hunting ground seed kinda pointless. I could go and look for sothing new, but it still would hive way less than even the weakest of the dead Bahumdabars.
I sohow convinced myself that going back to Loistavadvaar was actually a good idea. In the end, if I encounter one too strong for , I could always run away using shadow walk, and anchor in the city of gates. They couldn't get there.
The lack of a proper weapon was a problem, so actually, the first thing I did, was to go visit Rishi. He looked very tired and was working on the badges. I asked him if he could make another enhanced pudao, and he agreed if I brought him so crystals in exchange. I promised him sothing better if he can make one fast, and I left him with a coin, to notify when it's ready.
Then I finally moved to Loistavadvaar. The cold, silver light and jade-like buildings made surprisingly calm. I admired them for a mont, before pulling the weapon gifted by the great one and scanning through the gates located there. I was looking for a familiar view.
The one with those strange pyramids.
It took half an hour to find it, then I slowly approached the portal.
- You are gonna go there, and when you see one, you swill swarm him with shadows, and nuke with fire magic - I told myself, then I took a deep breath, and passed through.
I erged on a small plaza, right next to one of those gigantic pyramid-like skyscrapers. Everywhere around were the complexes of those cubic buildings. I also noticed drones, throwing a blue light on the streets.
I picked a random direction and started walking. Few streets further the landscape changed. Debris and broken pieces of tal were laying on the streets, all from ripped apart architecture. The building looked gutted from the inside by sothing of imnse power.
Just the view sent chills down my spine. Whatever did this was incredibly strong.
I spent two more hours just walking around, looking for traces of ghosts. I could turn back, and climb the pyramid, to look around, but I was just too afraid that sothing might spot .
Then suddenly from the clouds above, a gargantuan eel-like creature erged. It was made of tal, had a segnted body, and was swimming through the air slowly bending itself, as a snake would. After the initial panic died down, I observed it, slowly making its way through the sky, and vanishing in another cloud above.
I've never seen sothing this big move before. It would knock buildings in a major city, like domino blocks., and nobody would be able to stop it.
Just this event made question my decision to coming to this place. I turned around, to look in the direction I ca from because a thought of going back appeared in my mind. There was still ti to return...
- Fuck it.
I turned again and kept moving forward. I didn't get where I was by running away.
Few more hours passed on searching the vicinity, but I didn't find anybody. Just the drones. I noticed the furder away from the pyramid I got, the fewer of them were out there.
Eventually, just out of curiosity, I made my way inside one of those torn apart buildings, to see what was there. The one I entered seed to be so kind of factory or assembly. I noticed heavy machinery, robotic arms, and shole stations dedicated to putting together so alien chanisms. Only a few were, judging by a glance, still functioning, although they didn't work probably because of lack of energy supply.
I picked up few elents, but for , it looked like nothing, so I ended up just leaving.
I searched few more buildings. So were just like the first one. A few in better shape, few in worse. I also found few living quarters. They were surprisingly ascetic. Bed-shaped furniture made of sothing like plastic, and one small cabinet. All in grey colors.
There were few books, also made out of plastic-like substance. I picked those, and put them in my vault, to read later.
In the end, I didn't find any ghosts, so I just dropped the anchor, and went back to Loistavadvaar, to resu after getting so rest.
The first day back in the city of gates ca to an end with 5 677 634 060 regular points and 686 class ones.. Just like when I left.
