"While Lukas using the terrain of the forest to his advantage suddenly a blast past through him." "Lukas's sudden stopped — eye's shock of what just happened." 

"What was that!? Did that monster just use a railgun or something!? Lukas's said—shocked"

"Lukas glanced back. The monster was gone." Laugh of relief," He signed of a relief."

"Looking at the pearl in his hand— Lukas thought." Was is the use of this?"

"I almost die because of this, can I even eat this?"

"Lukas then put the pearl back in his pocket."

As Lukas walking he saw another cave much more smaller than the previous cave where the crocodile live." 

"Lukas being cautious," he look around seeing nothing dangerous he then walk inside." 

"As Lukas walking inside of the cave," he saw a bone of a man sitting at the corner." Lukas then approach the bones," as he was looking at the bone he saw a book by it's side and some pearl like in his pocket." Lukas then pray for the bones and said."

"What ever you leave behind, I'll take care of it for you so you can leave peacefully and go on in your journey—Lukas's said."

"Then Lukas buried the bones outside of the cave and pray for one last time." 

"After that Lukas get back inside of the cave and take the pearl and look at what is the contents of the book is."

"Lukas slightly shock—He can read the content of the book"

"This is not Earth's languages but it feels like I know this language from the start—Lukas said."

"As Lukas continue to read, he get to know that he was in absul Forest the most dangerous place in Azrith plain." 

"Lukas also get to know that this man was a mercenary in Roth Kingdom."

"He was with his party members, they were just supposed to do a scouting but they were ambushed by a pack of firewolves. As they were escaping they unintentionally hide in Vermisilisk lair."

"Vermisilisk" the giant crocodile like monster Lukas first encountered."

"As they thought they were safe until they stumble in files of bones. They realize they made the worst decision, as the lights coming from outside fades inside the cave. A deafening footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave, as they heard a metal sound like grinding." Heart beat fast, sweat coming out non-stop, eyes full of sorrow as they were frozen in place not even thinking of moving like they were waiting to be slaughter."

"As the Vermisilisk moving past them, they thought that they might be safe avoiding eye contact BUT one of the party member look up and saw it's face. It was looking at them, the eye that looks like it hit a jackpot a smirk can be seen in it's face."

"AAAHHHH—a voice so scared, tears running into her eyes," she looks at me and I can hear clearly and vividly even though her voice was so faint—please help me." 

"In split of second her upper body vanish."

"I was so scared that I mustered every ounce of my strength and I run for my life, leaving all my party members to die." 

"I can hear their screams coming from the cave as I run away, and then I stumble this cave that's looks like empty and I make this cave as my new home."

"Everyday I can still vividly remembered what happened to my party members, every night I still dreamed of them haunting me."

"Why did you leave us!! We were supposed to be a team, WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE WHOSE ALIVE!!!!!! —party member."

"I can't fall asleep, I also try to get back at the lair of that monster to get what remains of my party members and give them a proper burial but that monster doesn't leave it's lair like it has protecting something. Until one day I saw it going out so I try to sneak in and take my members remain and look for what that monster protecting and what I saw was an egg but this egg was not that monster's egg.
