Shard's?

Silvan pressed his back against the cold stone wall, his breathing ragged. His mind was racing.

The thing that had destroyed his double body wasn't just a monster it was a Kymer.

Silvan sighed realizing he should have predicted that as Z@lther himself appeared. The being that brought such things into his world.

Back in his old world, Kymers were the harbingers of destruction. Twisted abominations born from corrupted Energy, they didn't just kill—they devoured everything life, energy, even the source of water like rivers.

Each Kymer was as unique as it was horrifying, but they shared three terrifying traits,unnerving intelligence, and insatiable hunger.

In the Era of Eclipse, Kymers had wiped out entire kingdoms. Some could reshape their bodies into deadly weapons. The one he'd seen today lean, vine covered, and blade limbed was undoubtedly one of the scout-class Kymers. Fast, precise, and deadly.

[Double Body has been destroyed]

Silvan calmed down his mind. As if they were here that means he has to grow far stronger or he will meet the same fate as his past life.

He sighed again thinking, " I Have to face them again"

Silvan opened the shop. And again a huge list of items were presented in front of him. The eye of Azur Eagle has done better than he has expected.

Thus if he can get something more helpful it will increase his survival even more. He has Eighty Dungeon points after all.

As he checked he realized Genetics codes were expensive whole claws and talons skins parts being cheap still they require thousands of points. Even the cheapest one he saw so far was at 2000 dungeon points.

He wasn't initially disappointed as beside them there were many things such as items to foods. He has gasped the situation now. And he knows what he should get. It was very clear that genetics codes are the most important. And he has to get more but to get that he has to hunt for that to happen. After searching for a while he found the thing he was looking for. It was named a bandits cheap dagger. It dropped in front of him upon buying magically.

As its name sounded it was cheaply made with some kind of monster teeth with a few scraps of leather warped around the hilt. Truth to be told he was expecting much more from this considering it took 70 points. But it could work at least he wasn't weaponless anymore.

Time passed slowly as he waited for his Qi to recover. Hes qi was extremely low.

Qi: [33/150]

Not even enough to create a double body which takes 50 Qi.

He didn't completely waste his time he checked the system even more properly to get himself familiar with. It's his new reality he has to adapt to after all.

A few hours passed by just like that. One qi takes around five minutes to recover. Which truth to be told was quite slow but he can't do anything about it. The environment was rich in Qi yes but the absorbing rate was very slow. As for the technique of Mana absorption can't be used as he can't even create a circle here. He doesn't even know if it will work as the technique is for mana not Qi. Despite him thinking it's the same there's bound to be some changes that he hasn't figured out yet.

He tried out his trait.[ Puppeteer(Low) ]

[ Creates strings of Qi to control to connect to shape objects ]

As the string of mana formed, it consumed one point of Qi The more Qi he channeled into it, the stronger and sharper the string became.

It was quite sharp that he initially expected. Sharp enough to be used as weapons.

And soon a few hours passed by. His body double was standing beside him. He still didn't go out. He wasn't confident of going again with half of his Qi being depleted. And thus he waited two more hours before his Qi was completely full.

And thus he stepped out.

The water was cold and he somehow crossed the strong current reaching the other side. The edges were full of Moses but he somehow got out of the water and quickly warmed himself.

There were some branches washed up at the edges and many small rocks at the edge.

" Open portal" Silvan thought and right In front of him a small size portal opened up, Silvan stepped back watching it for a moment.

Thinking so this is how it worked. And thus he got to work and picked up the small branches one by one and started throwing them into the portal.

As the branches passed through it seemlesly. Silvan nodded and did with some of the rocks too. And a handful of soil. He didn't know why but he just did it. And switched back to his main body. The portal has spawned right in front of the orb or to say the core of the dungeon. The information he got a little while ago while checking the system.

Seeing everything really appeared here just like That Silvan nodded in satisfaction and switched back to the double body but before he could take a step forward

[Initial process has been done.]

[Dungeon lords have chosen their genetic code.]

Silvan halted "so it's done. So my conclusion was correct the people I saw there also appeared here in the dungeon lord." Silvan stopped making a fist "Maybe my comrades really appeared here just like nahlia "

[Sealed world: Altera Will opened to the desolate plains in one hour.]

Altera? The desolate plains? The words didn't make sense, and for a brief moment. What did it mean for the world to be "opened"? Was it a trap? A test?

[Warning: Contract has been signed.]

[War treaty has been signed ]

[Upon clause, a new category has been opened in the Dungeon title, Structural shop.]

[Upon clause: Beings of the divine plain will gain cultivation upon killing dungeon subjects and dungeon lords.]

[Upon clause: Dungeon lords will gain cultivation upon killing Divine world inhabitants.]

[Tutorial quest has been revealed: Survive for the next 2 years and exit the Sealed world of Altera.]

[Rewards: Rights to join the ultimate quest.]

[Failure: Death.]

Silvan read them carefully before clinching his fists. He already knows that this second chance won't be given to them for free. But to turn out like this as he expected it made Silvan frustrated. They will be used to destroy this world. Perhaps Kymers were also beings from a different world.

But realization sank in.."wait does that mean my world got destroyed even after the death of those kings?"

Cold wind flow by while the intensity of Qi started to increase at the surroundings.

[Sealed world Altera will be opened in 59 minutes]

[ Sub quest has been generated ]

[World map has been opened ]

[Shard's have been revealed all over the plains of Altera. Shard's will disappear within 30 minutes. Collect a shard within the timelimit

Rewards: Access to Structural shop

Failure: None ]

Silvan didn't he just looked at notifications coldy. Realization of his world is already being destroyed along with the modern world that he was living in for the last three years sunk in deeply.

Without saying a word Silvan opened the world map and started heading towards the closest shard. Anger, helplessness, worry etc turmoil of emotions gasped his mind. But within such the Goal destroying the very thing that brought such incidents streanthed even more.
