377  376: The Dimension of The Old Ones

    As Corey stared at the holographic image of the mad smile of The Clown, he just had a feeling that The Clown was going to say something mad or crazy once again.

    One just had to look at his surroundings for one to know that The Clown was a sadistic and cruel man.

    One of the books that Corey recorded from the Library of the Inner Area had information on the Battle of Chosens. The book mentioned how the previous Battle of Chosens had taken place, and also some of the past winners or record-achieving events that occurred in the previous Battle of Chosens.

    In the book, it was mentioned that the Battle of Chosens was usually done like a tournament where there would be knockout stages, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and then finals.

    The tournament could be done in various formats, like for example, maybe a two on two, two on one, three on two, battle royal, capture the flag, and so on.

    Although the formats of the tournament were usually different, it was usually a structured tournament that always took place in the Amphitheatre.

    But now?

    The Clown decided to say; ''Fuck it all! I''m going to do it my way!'', and he was truly doing it his own way.

    Just like how he had changed the Amphitheatre battles to The Games of The Clown, he also decided to change the Battle of Chosens to something far more... sinister and evil.

    Corey had no clue where he was, however, there was no way it was somewhere good. Despite Corey''s thoughts on The Clown and where he was, he knew he just had to survive no matter what.

    {Alright, since most of you should be awake by now, let me give you a brief description of where all of you are.}

    {All you useless and unfortunate people are in a shattered dimension called The Ancient Dimension or what I prefer, The Dimension of The Old Ones.}

    {The Dimension of The Old Ones is in one word... Chaos!}

    {I am not sure, but I believe that the shattered dimension you unfortunate souls are in is a dimension where the people in it worship or should I say worshiped beings they call The Old Ones. Heh. Who the fuck calls themselves The Old Ones, they sound like a bunch of grumpy and shitty old men. Maybe I should put a smile on their faces whenever I see them.}

    {I mean, I am called The Clown for a particular reason aren''t I? Hehehehehe}

    {Cough Cough.}

    {Oh yeah! I was talking about how unfortunate you useless fools are!}

    {Heh.}

    {So, as I was saying, The Dimension of The Old Ones is an extremely chaotic dimension. There are multiple bizarre and dangerous locations in this place, places even I would struggle to survive in. Can you believe it?! Do you know how dangerous a place has to be for me to say it is dangerous?!}

    {Another way by which you can avoid getting teleported to a random place is by finding a settlement. Most settlements have extremely large Ancient Stones that are meant to protect the people in the city from getting teleported to a random place in the shattered dimension.}

    {So, if you''re not in a city and you don''t have an ancient stone, then I can only say you''re royally fucked.}

    {Number three, none of you can use your weapons or artifacts. Everything in your system inventory and even spatial rings, for those of you cheaters who have them, have been sealed.}

    {However, I am magnanimous and thoughtful, so I provided all of you with a weapon. Okay, actually, I didn''t. Those high and mighty fools that you all saw were the ones that provided the weapons for all of you.}

    {Your weapons are a growth type of weapon, and they grow by feeding on the blood and souls of monsters and people you kill.}

    {Also, if any of you survive, you guys can use the weapons you have as your main weapon or you can use it to upgrade your weapons once you leave this place.}

    {Number four, if you want to leave this place, you have to reach and climb the extremely large golden staircase. You don''t have to ask me where the staircase is, most of you should have seen it by now. It can literally be seen from anywhere in the shattered dimension.}

    {There is a portal at the top of the golden staircase, and the portal leads back to your home, the Underworld.}

    {Number five, if you want to climb the golden staircase you need to find and obtain a stone called an Ascension Stone.}

    {Number six, you all have four months to leave this shattered dimension. If you don''t get to the top of the golden staircase, the portal will close and you''ll be stuck here till you find a way out yourself.}

    {Number seven, you can''t die since those boring and cowardly old fools would throw a fuss if all their so-called "Chosens" died in this place.}

    {However, there is a price for death, and the price is random for everybody. The Dimension of The Old Ones is what would determine the price one must pay when they die.}

    {And with this, I have given you everything I''m meant to give you.}

    {Oh, and by the way, this is a recording.}

    {I hope all of you die with a smile on your faces.}

    Once again, this would be the only chapter I''ll be posting today.

    I''m tired and feeling sleepy man.
