Harem Reborn
Chapter 90: Your Not Coming?

"Where did you get those from?"

"Hehe, they are good still," Dresnal laughed as he tossed the skewers to me.

I caught them and handed one to Kyrina, but she shook her head in disgust. She grabbed her suit instead and stormed back inside the tent. Once we were both back suited up, Dresnal handed us a pair of weapons.

I was given a katana, similar to the naginata I used with Diamond Edge. Kyrina was handed a pair of what he called Katar, a type of fist hand blade. This would be a good fit for her style; I thought of the damage that would have been done to the guy that had tried to jump me. Scary!

"We are heading out to the sands today to find some monsters to get you used to fighting them. They are fast, as you know, but they have random movement. Most are insect type monsters that can burrow."

"How will we see them coming like that?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Let's go!"

Arsenal just ignored me! Well, that must mean he will show us or just push us off the proverbial cliff. I looked at Kyrina, but she just looked pissed, so I started to follow him.

We ran for an hour until we reached an area with many monoliths standing out of the ground, spread around. Each was spaced out, but when we got close to one, I could see there were broken windows. On closer inspection, it showed that this was the top of some kind of building.

"What is this place?"

"Carvania, it was a city only 11 years ago, but another war claimed it overpowered when the wish was used for other means."

"What do you mean? Did someone use the wish to wage war?"

"Not exactly, the person asked to gain domain over all the dynam elements making him a god, and one this world worshipped for a time. Until they didn't."

We had reached the tower at this point, the inside was blown in with sand, but the structure still looked solid. Dresnal led us inside, and we were able to take off our hoods and goggles. Out of the wind and direct sunlight, it was almost cool inside, compared to the outside.

"So, what happened after they stopped worshipping him?" Katrina asked as she looked around the room we were in.

"It was a really dumb thing that happened, according to what I have heard. The records say that a small religious group gained a heavy following in a short amount of time and turned them against the man they proclaimed as a God. The man didn't fight them. Instead, he just left, and no one knows where he went."

"Okay, but that still doesn't explain why the war started."

"Well, after the religious group took over, things started to go downhill really fast. They weren't sending out enough shipments of supplies and foods to the other capitals for the sent trade goods. So, people rebelled like all oppressed people do. This is just one of the many cities destroyed and left to the storms."

War and carnage, all surrounding made-up religions. Sounds like the creator of this game brought some culture and religion into this for spice. I wonder what happened to the so-called God?

"What was the God's name? I asked.

"It was a common name, Greg, I think they said.

...Greg... Why did that name sound familiar? Had I met this person before? His name was so straightforward, like mine; maybe he was another player?

Maybe that time was another game that had been played? It was possible, but I couldn't remember running into a situation like this before. Would he still be here? It was only 11 years, and maybe the games could mix?

"Hey?! What are you daydreaming about?" Dresnal asked me with some irritation in his voice.

"Oh? Sorry, the name sounded familiar, that's all. So what are we doing here?"

"We aren't doing anything. I'm gonna find a good spot for a nap here, and you two are gonna go down and kill at least fifteen of those Catsect's you all enjoy eating so much."

"You're not coming with us?" Kyrina asked, looking at Dresnal.

"Door is over there."

Dresnal pointed to the far left corner where there was an open doorway. Kyrina looked at me, and I just shrugged; what were we going to do? Maybe we would get a bonus for the chef for this?

"Let's go; nothing more we can do here; it's not like he is going to help."

We both stalked toward the door, mad that we had to go into a strange and unknown place with no guide. The place was dark, but after a moment of walking, my eyes started to adjust. The site had white walls with a teal splash that ran along the middle of the wall like a wave.

I kept on guard, but for the most part, there was movement. The hall we walked downturned twice before we reached a stairwell, but I noticed a green glow coming from below. No, it couldn't be?

But it was true; I could see the glowing Lumimoss on the wall when we started down the stairs, lighting our way. The creators must really love this stuff, but it only meant one this if it was here. This was a dungeon.

"Hey, we need to be careful down here; this place is going to have a lot of the Catsect monsters and traps, some be on guard!" I warned, but Kyrina stopped and turned to look at me with a strange look.

"Traps? How would you know that there are traps down here if you have never been here before?"

"Remember how I told you this was all a game? We in other games I have played, there are places called dungeons and inside them are monsters and traps, but the thing I have found in everyone I have been in is this glowing moss I call Lumimoss."

"So, do you know how to beat this one?"

"No, not a clue."
