We all liked to talk about the end of the world. Most of us couldn't get through ordinary life, so what made us believe being trapped in life or death scenarios would be any better?

There's a saying that humans are naturally lazy to fix things... Nah humans just suck in general as they're still having wars, poverty, discrimination, etc... What? You expect everything's ganna get better? lol no, time to add the final piece to the puzzle by making everything worse.

Dragons? Generic but why not 
How about demons?...hmm.. to common but it's there
Zombies? Ooh that's interesting, lets put it in there
A giant enemy spider? Why not

Welcome to a world that's turned upside down... Nah lets just stop the rotation for a week to ruin everybodies sleep schedule.

Past life... everyone's are curious about it ....yet when you know about it; nothing goods come out ...then what will you do if you know all your lives , how will you live , what about your persona, dreams, behaviour, habits, goals,.....etc!
How are you going to deal with it ....Curious !!

  Ciana ( 9th lives name) She had different names in each life...., different habits,...but she couldn't live more than her 30s ...it also got decreased to 20s....; in her past lived in war period, democracy period, in poverty as well as opulence....yet no happiness she could receive! Even if she received she couldn't live past 25 later on ....due that her physic was drop rapidly ....hence her parents left her, her family left her alone....in her last time of life ....she was left to die alone....!

On her 6th life she came across a Powerful Master who's cultivation was above all ....he helped her with mystery of her life in return of help he wanted why because she was assassin. He told her shocking facts that she never knew in her past  "You should stay away from that General as well as opposite gender as much as you can ....if you want to live ...as you have said you can't live more than 20s ..I don't know but it might help you live longer if you want to that is!  After pausing he said " Don't let opposite gender touch you it will help you with your nightmares ".
After that she followed it ...but she couldn't life more than 25 years ...those started again on her 25th year ...with that she started to get sink in her death.....

In the Future:
"Nero what's wrong with this guy , didn't you said ; he doesn't have white moonlight, So why the heck he's calling a girl's name while sleeping in my embrace?!"
…..…......

We left the village, there were happy and full of spirits. There happiness returned, we head forward to the destination.

           I asked-"So, next place?" Damon said-"The runner cave..." Lily said-"Cave of puzzle, What does that mean?"I said-"runner cave, that must be cave for runners or of runners". We laughed, we walked for an hour and saw a giant cave". As we entered a voice enchoed-"Want to cross the path you destined , say you are ready to face get out of here as destined". I said-"What does that mean?" Lily said-"Some kind of puzzle?"Stiles said-"let see what happens if go ahead". We cautiously walked but nothing happened. We walked for half an hour. Damon-"Nothing happening..."I looked carefully towards the wall, I marked A on the wall. We walked for another hour but we reached nowhere. Then I saw the A mark that I made previously on the wall. Lily said-"Everything around here looked same... Are we lost?"I said-"Lily,we are not lost  , we are rotating in the same spot for two hours". Arthur said-"Are you sure?" I said-"Yes, I am. I marked an A previously see...and we returned to the same place". Derek said-"Maybe we have to solve the puzzle". Lily said-"The puzzle was Want to cross the path you destined , say you are ready to face get out of here as destined..." Stiles said-"What does that mean?" We thought for a while and said-"Maybe it's not puzzle..."Lily said-"What do you mean?" I said-"It's like a previous information or like warning. it's is saying that if we want to cross the path we have to say we are ready.Let's shout we are ready". We together shouted we are ready. The voice enchoed-"Welcome to the race..." Two man wearing a horse riders costume appeared. The voice enchoed-" This is race for destination,to cross the path you have to face various path, choice is yours which vehicle you want to choose. Everyone will be allotted with one vehicle of your imagination. Stand near the race line ,here there are no rules,just race and win".A starting race line was drawn. All stood near starting line. The two man was allotted with two race horse which were fit and strong. Everyone imagined the same horses except for me. I imagined a fastest car of our world with full fuel and it appeared. I said-"Oh my...I never taught it will appear". Everyone looked at me and Lily said-"What is this?" I said-"It's car..." Lily said-"What's a car?" But before I could say anything the backward countdown begins. We all took our seat...The horses shouting "neigh". I switched on the engine,my friends were staring at me with astonishement. i was happy,as today I was able to drive a car after such a long time. I was ready for the race. The countdown 3...2...1...race. All started riding horses. I pulled the accelerator and started driving. The car was so fast, I didn't see my friends were there or not. I drove the car the path were full of stones and lot of curve. I cautiously and with focus drove the car and successfully abled to take curves and I saw the finishing point and pulled the break and the car stopped. The voice enchoed-"We have a winner..." My friends were teleported to finishing line. The car and the horse disappeared. My friends came to me and said-"You won..." Stiles said-"That was awesome,you were so fast..." Damon said-"What was that?" I said-"That's a racing car, specially made for racing". Derek said-"At least racing finished..." I nodded and said-"Absolutely..." We came out of the cave and saw a beautiful town. Damon said-"This is kingdom of Valora..." We headed to the kingdom.

 I go to the right puzzle when I learn to talk to people about Mettaton and solve the puzzle. I discover that the Mettaton fan club has at least three dozen members. I solve the other puzzle and go to a dark room. Alphys observes how dark it is. It breaks into the system and turns on the lights

Wei Na came home with a packaged, custom made video game. The game was super expensive, so she expects a lot from it. She was never a video gamer, but her husband -to-be is the ultimate champion.

"Heh, let's see if he could win this one." She checked the time on her watch. 'He should be getting off work now. Ah! I want some dumplings and egg drop soup! Let me message him.'

Text Message to Hubby: 

Wei Na: "Babbbeeeeee, can you stop by the Chinese restaurant on your way home? I want dumplings and egg drop soup!"

Bin Guan: "Sure. Anything else? You have 15 minutes before I reach the restaurant."

Wei Na: "No, no. Just those two dishes are fine."

Bin Guan: "Let's see... Mushroom tofu soup, salted chicken congee, duck Thai salad..."

Wei Na's mouth watered as she texted, "Stop!!!!"

Bin Guan: "What? Mrs. Bin, you've been craving more foods around midnight, so I'm making sure you didn't want other stuff~ I'm doting on my wife~"

Wei Na: "Hmph, I want all of the above dishes plus glass noodles in spicy tofu soup. I'll eat you poor and let you cry a whole mountain for teasing me! I'll make you get fat with me too!"

Bin Guan: "Hahahaha, alright. Your delivery is on its way. (kiss emoticon)"

Wei Na sent him three lines of hearts before rubbing her tummy, "I'm hungry too. Just wait a little bit more."

- Half an hour later -

Wei Na hopped to the entrance and helped carry a bag of food to the dining table. After successfully keeping the food safe and steady on the hard surface, she turned around and hugged him around his nape. "Before the meal, welcome back darling~~ Mwahhhh"

She gave him a peck on the lips and told him to wash up before eating. She too washed her hands with liquid soap before having her meal. Seeing the table full of food, she cupped her cheeks and licked her lips, forgetting about the video game she wanted to make him verse her in. 

Her smile was full of happiness. As she ate, she rubbed her cheeks with her finger that had a bit of sauce on it. He chuckled and wiped the stain off the apple of her cheeks using his thumb, "Aiyo, a grown up already and eating just like a kid. Cute."

She blushed from his remark and continued eating her food. Wei Na finished her meal before Bin Guan did and remembered that she wanted to tell him about the video game that she bought today. "I wanted to show you something~"

She walked towards the wrapped package on the couch and had him open it. Quickly, he finished his last bite and started unwrapping. He stared at the package with a dull face, "Huh?"

She walked over after seeing his weird expression, "What? That's your fav-....." The store messed up her order and replaced the video game with a jigsaw puzzle. He looked at her bewildered face and thought that she was upset that he didn't like the gift, so he acted like he was receiving an Oscar award. 

"Ohh! I love this puzzle! Honey, how did you know I've been into puzzles lately? Hahahaha, let's put these pieces together after cleaning up!" He pulled her on his lap and kissed her lips.

She took the puzzle out of his hands and raised he brows, 'Did I order it wrong? Did I not say I wanted the video game? I even paid for it too!!! No, let me secretly check the receipt and call them if there was a mistake.'

While Bin Guan washed the dishes, she double checked her receipt and felt disappointed to see that the store indeed made a mistake, 'Tch. If this was a regular gift, then it would've been fine. But they messed my plan up! Sigh...I'll give them a call now.'

She stepped out to a balcony and called the company to complain about her order. Since it is rare for a customer to spend so much money on one product, once she told them her name, they recognized her. 

Manager: "I am very sorry about any inconvenience this has caused you. The item that you have received must have been another custom made by another customer. If you wish for a refund, we will deposit the money back to your account."

Wei Na rubbed her temple, feeling irritated, "I already opened the Jigsaw puzzle. Can you check for me what the puzzle says, so this time I can actually continue with my plan smoothly? I would like a refund and make the purchase the puzzle that I have in possession."

Manager: "The puzzle had the same words that you originally wanted for the video game. Since it is out company's mistake, please accept the puzzle as our gift for you. We will execute the refund back to your account and that will take up to three days. Is that alright with you? Once again, I am very sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused you."

Wei Na sighed, "Okay. Thank you for your time and patience. I'll check my account again in a few days to make sure the transaction has processed. Have a good night."

After the call ended, she walked back to the living room where Bin Guan had prepared a platter of sliced fruits for her. She smiled, "How did you know I wanted fruits?"

He fed her a piece of seedless grape, "Because I know. Shall we begin with the puzzle?"

She showed a faint smile and nodded, "Mm.."

Sensing that something felt off, he asked her if she was feeling unwell. She shook her head , "Nothing. It's just that I was expecting something else to be in this package. Anyways, let's continue."

He had his arm around her waist while doing the puzzle, "You know, it doesn't matter if it is a puzzle or knitting or anything else as long as you're the one doing it with me."

Her bright smile appeared, "Sweet talker."
Finally, they reached the last two pieces of the puzzle and she said, "Darling, how about we complete the puzzle at the same time?"

"Sure. Anything you want." As their fingers left the completed puzzle, her eyes teared up slightly. She looked at him as he covered his smile and giggles, "Oh my god... oh my god.. oh my god!!!!" He jumped up from his seat and paced around the living room with a joyous smile that looked like Spring. 

Catching his breath, he knelt down beside her and placed his ears on her lower abdomen. 

"Silly, you can't hear anything just yet. Still early." She laughed at his excited reaction.

"Shhhh.. maybe if we stay quiet enough we can hear a little tiny bit!" Her fingers combed his hair lightly as he listened closely to her tummy. 

On the table, the completed puzzle said, "You're going to be a daddy!"

He couldn't stay calm at all, but then again, this was their first baby.

The warmth of the sunlight that was shining through the window landed on the girl's flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her hands clenched onto her blanket tightly. She chanted, "No! No! Don't.. please.. I beg you stop! Ahh!!" She gasped for breath as she wiped the layer of cold sweat off her forehead. She looked at her phone and laid in bed after realizing that she was in her apartment. 'I'm safe.. it's alright.. safe..' After calming down, she took a quick shower and looked into the mirror. "Yang Ya Nuo! you got this! New day, new beginning!" She got dressed in a male school uniform and applied her makeup and wig. Within the next 15 minutes, her beautiful jade like face transformed into a handsome young man's face. "Aha! That should do it! Handsome like always. Breakfast time~" 
Since young, Ya Nuo learned how to change her voice to sound like a male's voice in case she needed it one day. Unlike girls at her age who liked to hang out with friends and go shopping, she only loves one thing, food! She works three part time jobs and is attending a famous school on a scholarship that covers full tuition. 
She cheerfully walked to the kitchen to see what's there to make for breakfast. When she opened the fridge, she saw nothing, but a piece of sausage inside. Sigh.. "I paid for rent and ran out of money to restock for grocery."
Ding Dong
"Who is it?" she said in a grumpy tone.
"Yo!" Xu Huan Hei greeted her with a hand wave.
"Is it time already? There's still half an hour before the usual time you come to get me for school." 
"Nope! But I do have something I want to discuss with you." he smiled dazzlingly. He was the school's second most popular guy that every female wished to date. The number one ranked male student was Ya Nuo. These two met each other at a young age, but due to some reason Huan Hei never found out about her female gender. 
"I'm hungry. Let's talk food first."
"Here~ i already prepared a bag of groceries and two bacon, egg, and sausage for you" he winked.
Ya Nuo smirked, "Oh? Seems like it's something important hmm? Alright, let me enjoy my breakfast as we discuss your 'favor.'"
In the middle of enjoying her bacon, egg, and sausage, she suddenly spit out the mouthful of food onto Huan Hei. 
"will you be my girlfriend?" he asked confidently.
"Are you crazy?? I'm a guy! 100% male!"
"But you are so pretty, even girls say you have feminine features. I'm sure with a little makeup you'll look very cute!"
"... what's your reason?"
"A girl keeps pestering me and chasing after me to get into a relationship with her. I told her for the past two years that I'm not interested in any relationships, but she refused to listen. I accidentally slipped out and said I actually have a girlfriend... so she asked to meet her.. and I didn't have anyone that is trustworthy enough for this job."
"No."
"Pretty please"
"No!"
"Come on~ I'll buy you lunch~"
"I'm not that cheap."
"Fine, 3 months worth of lunch and groceries!"
"Deal."
In the meantime, at a luxurious restaurant, a man with gray hair sipped his wine, "Did you guys find her yet?"
"No.. sir"
"Then why are you here? Go! Find her and bring her here! Don't come back and report bullshit to me!"
"Yes!"

*THERE IS NO RAPE OR ANY SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS NOVEL. BUT WARNING OF 18+ CONTENT*

The book cover is not mine, credits go to the original author. This novel is an original written by me, so please don’t post it anywhere else.

'Let's ignore these two big requests first. I will clearly not be able to complete them for now.'

Five browsed through the rest of the requests. Nothing really caught his attention. Five was not required to accept any request and for now, he wanted to focus on the upcoming Night of Macabre.

The contract he signed only required him to lead an attack on one of the opposing dungeon masters within three months. The conflict between the alliances was no longer going to be kept under wrap. With the appearance of the new dungeon masters, the available resources on Zero became scarcer; the only way for the dungeon masters to continue to develop was to steal resources form each other.

While the old dungeon masters kept each other in check, the younger generation was free to fight and compete for the resources. The future of the alliances rested on the shoulders of the new generation.

As Five browsed through the requests, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stumbled onto a request that was completely different from the others.

[Request: I obtained an artifact called Puzzle Box. I am looking for people experienced in puzzle-solving or similar skills to help me open it. When opened, the Puzzle Box will give me the right to visit a tomb. I am willing to share 20% of anything I obtain from the tomb to the person who will solve the puzzle. Anyone making a contribution will also receive a portion of my loot.

Note: As it is a popular request and there is only one Puzzlebox, all those willing to accept the request will only be allowed to keep the Puzzlebox for six hours. If you are interested, please add the player: Solstice as a friend]

'A puzzle box that gives access to a tomb? Could it be the same as mine?' thought Five. Opening his inventory, he saw the small purple box covered in runes. 

'Maybe it is the same and if so, maybe we can both benefit from this.'

Five blankly stared at the request for a moment before taking a decision. 

[System prompt: A friend request was sent to the player: 'Solstice']

…

At the same time, in a corner of the lounge, a woman was lying on a couch. She crossed her legs, watching the other players discussing among themselves. 'So annoying. Why did we all have to come here just to welcome one person.'

She rearranged her short pink hair while grabbing her glass. As she was about to take a sip, she suddenly received a notification.

[System prompt: You have received a friend request.]

'A friend request? Is it another opportunist trying who wants to attempt to solve the Puzzle Box?' From her position, Solstice looked at the display board in the distance. The couch she chose was strategically positioned, giving her an ideal view of the entire hall.

She glanced at the Request Board and saw a man examining the available requests. He was an average looking man; he was not especially handsome but had a particular charm. He wore a serious expression as he crossed his arms, constantly frowning when his eyes moved from request to request.

'Another John Doe willing to test his luck on my Puzzle Box? He looks familiar though,' thought Solstice. She nonchalantly opened her interface but instantly froze upon seeing the name.

'Five? Isn't he the new recruit we are supposed to welcome today? The same guy who fought against the Storm Alliance.' 

Solstice blankly stared at Five's friend request. 'His dungeon is quite strong. Probably stronger than mine right now. Maybe he has some inside knowledge about the Puzzle Box?'

She glanced at Five one more time before making her decision.

[System prompt: You have accepted "Five" as a friend. Send him a message now.]

She then stood up and left. Ignoring the strange stares of the nearby players, she wrote Five a quick message.

Solstice: "If you are interested in the Puzzle Box, meet me on the second floor of the Hub. Go to the Basilic Room. The password is 850538".

...

A few minutes later, Five and Solstice faced each other in the Basilic Room. They were both sitting at a meeting table, examining each other. The Basilic Room was one of the meeting rooms available to the members of the Hurricane Alliance. It was a dark and gloomy room with the wallpaper resembling the skin of a snake.

There were no windows and the only sources of light were small candles held by chandeliers shaped like snakes. The room looked more like the ritual room of a cult that a meeting room. Five felt very uncomfortable.

He squinted his eyes while sizing up Solstice, wondering why she chose such an environment for their first meeting. Was it to intimidate him? Five felt that it was a really childish move to do so. The room was dim but Five could still clearly see Solstice's features. She could have been really pretty but the look she chose was a complete turndown.

She looked like a rebellious teenager. Her hair was extremely short, giving her a tomboy look. Solstice had several piercings and tattoos all over her body. She was leaning against her arm, carefully observing Five.

"So you are interested in the Puzzle Box? May I ask if you have any knowledge or prior experiences of solving complex puzzles or cryptology?" She went straight to the point while maintaining a straight face. 

"No professional experience but I always had an interest in puzzles. I would like to give it a try."

"Really? Then, why do I feel like you have ulterior motives? The first thing you did since coming here was to immediately look at the requests available. This is not something a dungeon master would usually do." Solstice said with a doubtful expression. Her piercing gaze met Five's eyes as the latter felt a chill run down his spine.

'... She is not wrong. I should not have aimed for the quests immediately. Trying to socialise with some of the members of the alliance would have been a better option. That woman could have been observing me since the start and she might not be the only one,' thought Five. 

He coughed awkwardly to disperse the heavy atmosphere. "I don't know what you are talking about. I just wanted to gather some information and since I saw your request, I just thought it would be a good opportunity to make contact with one of the members. If the puzzle box is not available, that is fine. I will look for another request."

"Hold on. When did I say I am refusing your help? It is just that there are quite a few people looking into the puzzle box. Because it is a unique item, they are all interested in the possible rewards behind it. I arranged the people involved in a list and passed the puzzle box to them. They simply pass it among each other in order. If you want to be involved, you will have to join the very end of the list." Solstice immediately soften her tone and took a step back in the conversation, fearing that she might have been too aggressive and pushed away Five.

"In that case, how long do I have to wait?" Five asked. His expression became more relaxed. He never hoped to solve the puzzle box. He only wanted to look at the progress they had made and use that information on his own puzzle box. In short, he just wanted to steal the work done by others.

"There's about thirty people involved. Fifteen of which are genuinely interested. I would say you will need to wait at least two weeks."

"Two weeks?" Five muttered with a light frown. He did not know how fast they were solving the puzzle box but if they managed to solve it completely before he could have a look, it would be a huge loss. He would then have to ask for the solution and might have to pay a price.

"If we go through the normal procedures, yet. But naturally, there is a way to bypass that." Solstice turned serious as she adjusted her seating position.

'A way to jump the queue. I see. This is probably the main reason she is interested in speaking to me. She phrased it in such a way that she is making me a favour but in reality, it is the opposite.' Five thought. Still, he answered politely. "And what would be that way?"

"It is a very simple request. You won't need to go out of your way for it. You were recruited in the alliance because we need help to conquer the dungeon neighbouring ours. You were chosen because you have already gotten rid of the ones in the direct vicinity of your dungeon. My request is to simply be the first to receive your assistance."

"There are two dungeons at a relatively close distance to mine. One of which is particularly troublesome because he has friends nearby. I'll need as many monsters I can gather before pulling the trigger. Furthermore, if you help me get rid of that person's dungeon, it will also benefit your little girlfriend."

Five narrowed his brows as he listened to Solstice. It was just a small request. At the end of the day, he was already planning on conquering other dungeons and obtaining the core of the dungeons. But was Solstice inferring by the last part of her explanation. "Explain yourself properly. The last part. I am still single, you know."

The woman cocked her head and chuckled. "There is no need to hide it. Nobody is blind. All the dungeon masters saw it at your duel with Farsight. She was the one who called the Cancer for help; my teacher told me. Your relationship with her is obviously not simple if she is willing to use her trump card for you. But regardless, I just want to say that helping me will also be helping her. My dungeon is rather close to hers at about four days away from hers. But I noticed that she is planning on developing toward the east coast. The troublesome dungeon master I was talking about has his dungeon somewhere between her dungeon and the east coast."

Five was naturally aware of Iris' plan. While developing her town, she also allocated a few people and some funds to developing the railway to connect her town to the east coast. Such a large-scale development would not escape the eyes of the other players and the NPCs, but he did not expect that it would have been already detected despite it being in its very early stages.

'I see. People have already started associating me with Iris because of this incident. I should have expected this. Nevertheless, it is not a bad thing if I can help her without getting too close. At the end of the day, I still need to thank her for wasting her trump card. Sacrificing a few monsters is nothing compared to the price she paid. But first…'

"Then, give me more details about that particular dungeon and I'll consider it."

…

A few minutes later, Five finally exited the Basilic room with a satisfied smile. The discussion did not last very long. Although the dungeon master Solstice was targeting was quite strong and would prove to be challenging to attack, Five agreed to Solstice's request. If that dungeon master was not stopped, it would be extremely difficult for others to develop in the area. 

The turning point of the conversation was when Solstice revealed the progress made by the puzzle box research group. The puzzle box consisted of several layers that needed to be peeled off in a certain amount of time. While the exact number of layers was not known, the group had already managed to open the first three layers.

Each solution was extremely complicated; the first layer required the puzzle box to be under water. While in contact with water, the puzzle box's outer layer would expand slightly, revealing a certain pattern and movable parts. Then, one needed to slide these parts until the first layer would be completely removed. The second and third layers were even more complicated to open. Five could not wait to try the solution on his own puzzle box to see if they were the same.

There was not much to do at the hub. He came here mainly for the initial introduction and to get to know the other dungeon masters. But now that he already knew who to help first, there were no real needs to socialise. He was about to head back home when a dark silhouette stepped in front of him.

"First elder." Five immediately recognised the middle age man. He was the only elder he came into contact with and the one he signed the contract with.

"Five. I was precisely looking for you. I see that you have been into the private rooms. Any way. The reason I am here is to inform you that there we are planning to start going on the offensive by the end of the week. The fourth trial should have started by then which will reveal the weaknesses of your peers. It will be the ideal situation for us to attack." Despond said with a wicked smile. His eyes shone with anticipation; he was clearly looking forward to the chaos of the battles.

"The end of the week? Aren't there only six days left? And there's also the Night of Macabre tomorrow night. Aren't we rushing too much into this operation?"

"Not at all. With all the youngsters focused on clearing their own trial, it will be the ideal condition for us to strike. There is no need to be scared of antagonising the other alliances. At the end of the day, we are simply claiming back our territory. They have been pushing onto us since we only had one inheritor of the sins but now that you appeared, the balance had been re-established. There are many new dungeons in the Sylvester Empire that do not belong to our alliance, but we are unable to deal with them because of the pact. Are we supposed to let them grow until they become a decent threat? Of course not. We'll strike swiftly and remove them before the other alliances have time to react."

As he spoke passionately, Despond released an intimidating aura, striking fear into Five's heart. He did not do it on purpose but the level difference between the two was so large that Five was still affected.

Five swallowed hard and hesitantly answered. "I understand your reasoning, but I still feel that it is a bit rushed. We don't even know what the fourth trial would be and what about the other alliances' reaction. They won't leave our members alone if we are the first to attack."

Despond frowned for a moment but quickly hid his expression behind a smile. "I see. You are worried about your teammates but don't worry. Compared to the other alliances, we asked our new members to set up their dungeons in our own territories. We learned about the distribution of the seven cores of the sins early on and chose a conservative approach. Once we expel them from the Sylvester Empire, the other alliances will lose their footings here and will have to return to their own territory. Furthermore, which operation does not involve any risk. I am just asking you to prepare for it. If it turns out that the fourth trial is extremely hard, we will naturally put a halt to the attack. The safety and development of our own members are more important."

"Mmm… Then, as you said, I will prepare for it. I will do as the contract said and help one of the members in the upcoming battle."

"Excellent. That is what I wanted to hear!" Despond brightly smiled. The pressure around him vanished. "I will take my leave then."

Watching Despond's disappearing figure, Five let out a sigh of relief but the feeling of unease he felt earlier never left. 'No matter how I look at it, there is definitely something wrong here. This operation feels rushed. They have no good reason to suddenly decide to attack everyone else. Then, why did the first elder personally come here to inform me of their decision. He could have asked his apprentice to pass the message. His appearance here was a warning…'

'I did not even spend a day here and I already don't like it. The first elder is being so forceful despite knowing that I have the [Void Contract] in my possession. Does that mean he does not care if I choose to leave the alliance to avoid this conflict? Unless, I have already fallen into their trap somehow.'

Lost in thoughts, Five slowly made his way back to the portal he came through and returned to the dungeon of madness.

After being betrayed, framed and kicked down to the ground, our protagonist was sentenced to life imprisonment. But a few days later, a global disaster occurred, people from all nations migrated to underground refuges.

As a prisoner, he thought his life was over, abandoned by everyone. However, he wakes up, greeted by Gaia, the person responsible for New Earth.

New Earth was a second chance for him, watch as he builds up his own dungeon and become known by all as the Emperor of Madness

Note that this is a slow novel and dungeon building only takes place after 40 chapters
