For The Rich !!!

Long ago in times of yore, there stood an ancient temple. Built upon the backs of slaves, the blood of many stained its foundations. This temple stood testament to the greed of man and its consequences.

Built out of only the finest black marble brought from a far away quarry, its shadow spread an aura of fear and corruption throughout the nearby lands.

Its founders cared not for the sufferings of their peoples. The only things they cared about was indulging in the pleasures of the flesh, and hastening the temple's construction. They believed that building the temple would summon pleasures and treasures from an ancient world. Willing to go to any end to build a path to delights unimaginable, the founders took drastic measures enslaving many nearby villages and towns.

They thought nothing of their cruel practices, their thoughts long ago filled with nothing but the promise of unending pleasure.

Eventually many years later upon the eve of its creation something went terribly wrong. Instead of unending delight, a newborn eldritch horror was summoned from the beyond, twisting the founders of the temple and all who served them.

Years past and eventually a group of traveling heroes took it upon themselves to rid the world of such twisted abominations. And rid they did, for as they turned their backs on the temple it was completely cleansed of all filth and left to rot for all eternity.

And so the temple stood empty. The once sprawling metropolis that had surrounded it crumbled. All except for a few nearby homes eventually fell to ruins. The heroes succeeded, they had won. Not only did they fight back the eldritch the temple of black marble was supposedly fated to be left alone for all eternity.

That was until one fateful night many years later when the sky was at its darkest and the moon was covered in clouds the -- Temple of Flesh -- simply disappeared.

" Finally some nice special effects !!! "

" Shut up 15... "

" Even though a blinding white light is cliché Ill give it an eight out of ten, "

" I so swear to god, your going to piss off the system and were going to get screwed !! "

" Common Heins, loosen up. What's the worst that could happen? "

15 reprimanded a cowardly floating skull as he cleanly sliced the head off an incoming zombie with his favorite blood knife.

Using its beheaded corpse as a springboard 15 front flipped over an even larger zombie beheading on the way down to the ground.

Brushing a little dirt off of his orange jumpsuit 15 turned to admire the gigantic temple that towered over a surrounding town of stone. The system as usual begrudgingly provided 15 with a notification as soon as he squinted at the temple hard enough.

-- Temple of Flesh--

- This ancient temple has been torn from the fabric of space and reality. A remnant of the rule of the Ancient Palace a sinister aura perfuses its halls. Conquer it and rule its halls mighty challenger. -

After the blinding light had faded 15 was quite suppressed to see the ruins of the destroyed Kakazumi village replaced with a mighty Aztec looking pyramid along with a small town.

Intrigued he jogged towards the temple, but as he made his way through intricately carved buildings of stone he was jumped by a few strange abominations. Although the system had classified these aggressive creatures as the walking dead 15 was not convinced.

He had seen a few horror movies in his childhood and these things looked nothing like zombies. After all proper zombies shouldn't have tentacles.

Should they ??

Hollywood might have changed a lot while he was locked up...

Instead, the things that charged at 15 were not the standard Hollywood zombies that he was familiar with. They were large blobs of pink flesh with a vaguely human shape.

All in all 15 found it quite hard to build the mental connection between the walking dead and the squishy meat blobs that were bouncing around the ancient village.

Instead, 15 felt more intrigued by the empty stone buildings that surrounded the vicinity of the temple.

Wandering within the maze of ancient-style homes 15 discovered many interesting little bits and bobs that portrayed the lives of people who had long ago passed away.

Occasionally taking some time to excitedly show off his findings to the skull that Heins had sent along with him.

In the end, it was quite hard to move a river into a town.

Strange murals depicting flying figures of light and dark, bits and pieces of pottery, and even some pieces of cloth all had 15's little imagination building up fantastical stories. To Heins's horror, his play session was occasionally interrupted by a few fleshy zombies with a few too many limbs, but no amount of misshapen undead prevented 15 from fulfilling his half baked dream of becoming an archeologist for a day.

He just treated the blobs of flesh as the bad guys that were there to stop his amazing adventure and simply sliced them up.

He was the brave adventurer 15 exploring a long abandoned jungle city along with his trusty sidekick Mr Heins !

" Take a look my good friend !!!Look at this beautiful vase, we must take it back to some museum for... for..... for...., " An exited 15 paused for a second.

Putting down the interictally painted vase he had just found from a random home and turned to face a floating skull, " Why do people put things in museums ?? "

Heins was dumbfounded...

" Well... Im not to versed in regards to museums.... but from what ive heard museums display things for the rich to stare at and brag about. "

" Lets go steal from the dead !!! For the rich to stare at !!!! "

ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

15 quickly gained back his lost enthusiasm gleefully running into the next ancient home whilst shouting about pandering to the rich.

Sighing Heins could only float along quickly, but in secret, he quite enjoyed basking in the glow of 15's childlike image. Of course, Heins had to deliberately ignore the fact that 15 was still waving around a giant red knife and was still occasionally killing any meat bags that got too close.

It wasn't until the sun had set and a boy along with his best friends floating skull found themselves in front of a towering temple that they realized they had spent the whole day floundering around the ancient village...
