The Rise Of Calamity

[You have entered a World Tunnel!]

[You have left planet Solaris]

[Cosmic energy detected]

[Astral energy detected]

[Passive Skill -Gluttony- is absorbing the energies]

[Your understanding of the darkness element has increased]

[Negative Mana has been detected]

[Would you like to comprehend Negative Mana?]

\'uh... sure?\' I replied while not reading or listening to the question properly due to messages that I saw before it.

\'Our planet is called Solaris?\' I thought with a gapes mouth before thinking about the next message.

\'Cosmic energy... Astral energy?" What does any of this mean.

Yet before I could think about it any more or even get any answers from Hela about everything I was seeing, I felt a strong pull towards another direction, a direction completely away from Solaris and towards the infinite space.

It was then that I had reached the verge of blacking out, however, a few moments later I finally found myself in front of something else.

To be precise, that \'something\' was another planet that looked like it was completely made out of water and greens like jungles or forests with the occasional whites at both poles indicating it that it must be in its glacial period of time, not that it mattered to me anyway.

"What is thiiiiii- AHHHHHH" The pulling force intensified at an extremely quick rate as if it had gripped onto my entire body before flinging it towards the planet under me.

*ZOOM*

The sound of crackling and spacial distortions took me out of my daze, allowing me to see everything around me while slowly taking my face out of the muddy ground that I had landed in.

\'Did I land in a swamp?\'

[Congratulations! You have entered an unknown planet]

[Planet: Unknown]

[Age: 3.6 Billion]

[Tier: Mortal B]

[Description: A world with millions of known species alongside millions of unknown species. It is filled with random beasts, animals and even humanoid beings of different prowess. The world is currently in its glacial stage and has been for the last 90000 years. 90% of all land is covered in trees and woods, dropping the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere dramatically. No being on this planet can ascend passed the Mortal plane]

While I had strong suspicions that I was leaving the planet and entering a new one rather than entering a pocket dimension, I was finally proven right by the message that the system had finally given me after landing on the planet itself,

\'To think this is a whole new planet...\'

[So cool right?]

\'RIGH!?\'

"Lilith?" A voice called out to me, making me switch my attention from speaking to Hela to looking up at Laila who was standing in front of me with a strange frown.

"What?" I asked, creating water on the side to splash on my face to clean all the mud off.

"Why did you take so long?" She asked.

"What do you mean?"

"We\'ve been waiting here for 10 minutes. We trusted your decision to wait a little, but it shouldn\'t take you so long to get here, right?" Croloe chimed in from behind her while sitting on the giant lion names Scar.

"10 minutes? Really?" I asked, slightly shocked at the revelation.

"Yes. Why did you take so long to come?" Laila asked, annoyance evident in her tone.

"Before that, let me ask you a question. How many people were around when you guys entered the planet?" I asked after thinking for a little while, yet even though my question was meant to answer Laila\'s question, the annoyed flickers of her soul flames told me everything she was feeling in the moment.

Yet before she could say anything, Croloe had jumped down from Scar\'s back and held her shoulder while asking.

"Well, no one was here other than us. And what do you mean by planet? It\'s not like we went far away from Zogaria. This is just a pocket dimension."

"Pocket dimension that the gods are using to test us blah blah blah. I understand all the crap-" An immediate frown appeared on both their faces but they didn\'t say anything

"But my point is that I think time works differently in this place. What might have seemed like 10 minutes to you was actually just a few seconds to me..."

[Ding Ding Ding Ding! Not sure why it happens but planets closer to a black hole see and increase in flow of time compared to other planets. It just happens that Solaris and this planet have a 2 seconds = 1 minutes rule between the both of them. What is strange however is how they were able to naturally connect, something that shouldn\'t be possible when you look at the time differentiation between both, especially when the difference is this big.]

"What are you trying to say... The god\'s are giving us as much time as possible?" Laila asked, not understanding what I was getting at.

"No, what the fuck? I am trying to tell you why I came late and you are already talking about your gods?"

"Our gods? OUR GODS!? Are you trying to say you don\'t believe in them"

"Religion is a choice in Zogaria. Why the fuck does it matter to you if I care about it or not." I sneered at her comment.

[Literally the only thing good about the empire. Everyone judges you for it but it is a lot better that whatever the f*ck England was doing back in the 1500s hahaha]

"Ladies! There is no point in arguing! While you two are arguing over some stupid crap, there are others uncovering treasures and finding a way to close the crack. Lets get moving!" Croloe cut us both us, unwilling to watch this go on as both of us argued while others stole the treasures he so desperately needed.

"Sure" I replied without even thinking about it, making Laila even more aggitated even though she agreed with that Croloe was saying.

Since she couldn\'t really say anything afterwards, she chose to pout silently as we moved through the swampy jungle.
