Chapter 629: Secret Floor
Ryder reached the massive Pyramid that was standing near the City. It was an important pyramid that was rumored to be the graveyard of the gods, according to the locals.
That was the same rumor that Ryder wanted to test at this point. He wanted to infiltrate the Pyramid to find what was inside it.
Avoiding the single Guard that was protecting this place, he landed behind the Pyramid. It was the same place where he was previously standing when he was informed about this place.
He opened the store of his system and brought something out of it which he believed he could use.
There had also been a change in the System Store. Now that Janus was home, there was no lock on the system. All the items in the store that were present were unlocked now. He didn’t need any Origin Points to buy those items now.
There was another change, though. Most of the High Ranking treasures were also gone now. What remained was a bunch of items that weren’t too overpowered.
One of those items was a pass-through sticker.
It was a sticker that, once placed on the wall, made the wall illusory. It basically made the wall useless as anyone could pass through the wall. However, no one knew that the wall was illusory. For the unversed, the wall seemed very ordinary from a distance.
No one could have known that they could pass through the back of the Pyramid now.
As it was already midnight, no one was going to come here either. And Ryder already believed that he was going to be back by the time it was morning; he didn’t worry about someone else entering this place. He stepped inside the Pyramid, passing through the walls
"Hmm? What is this place?" Ryder asked, frowning.
He had seen some documentaries about pyramids and some exploration inside them. He had a general idea of what the inside of the Pyramids looked like, but something was different here. The interior of the Pyramid was entirely empty. There was nothing that could be seen here.
There weren’t any corridors or any hallways. There weren’t any rooms here either. All that was here was a massive empty space. It was as if someone had only made the outer walls and forgot to make anything inside. There were no inner walls. It was all a massive empty space.
It was completely empty. Let alone the coffin of gods; there weren’t any coffins here at all.
Some carvings were made on the walls, which gave him a general idea.
"Is it just a scam? Let alone the tomb of gods; it’s not even an ordinary tomb. There’s nothing here. It should just be a showpiece; that’s why no one made any entrance. Such a disappointment," Ryder muttered, shaking his head.
He turned around and started leaving, only to notice some strange carvings on the wall. "Hmm? What’s that?"
There were carvings on the wall which depicted some characters. The drawings continued throughout the wall as if making a story.
Curious about what this was, Ryder went to the start of the wall to go through these drawings, trying to understand what it was.
The first drawing seemed to be of what seemed like the Sun. Strangely, the sun split apart in two in the next drawing.
The two suns started changing shape and took a more humanoid shape. It was as if the two suns had turned into humans.
The drawings continued depicting the two beings that continued looking at the world which appeared around them.
In fact, it even seemed like they had formed the worlds and the stars together. Throughout the next few drawings, the two beings remained together. They were the only constant in the drawings for the most part as worlds kept being made.
Everything changed in the next drawing though. There were now four humans in the next carving.
The two old humans remained at the top while two more of them appeared under them, appearing out of a speck of light that the two old beings had created.
The two old beings then opened a new portal and sent the two new beings inside.
From the following drawings, it depicted that something went wrong.
The second being created a world alone, similar to the first being who had created a few worlds before the first. At the start, the two of them created the worlds together, but once the first being made a bunch of them alone, the second also did the same.
For some strange reason, the next drawing showed the two old beings fighting. The second being was defeated and placed on a world. Around that being, the first being formed a strange tomb, as if sealing him forever.
"Strange. Don’t tell me this is that place where the second being was sealed. It can’t be. That place isn’t in the shape of a pyramid. I think it can’t be," Ryder muttered, shaking his head.
He moved over to the next drawing. Even though he wasn’t sure if he was understanding these drawings correctly, he didn’t give up.
He moved over to the next drawing, which was somehow even more bizarre. He knew there were drawings, but he somehow couldn’t read them. For some strange reason, there was a strange, vague veil over the following carvings.
He hasn’t seen those vague veils before. They had somehow appeared suddenly as he reached here.
Confused, he tried touching the walls, wondering if he could understand what was carved here through touch.
He touched the wall, feeling the carvings, but he couldn’t imagine the full picture with just his touch in his head.
His fingers kept brushing against the wall as he tried to make a mental image, but he couldn’t.
"Ouch! That hurts!" He suddenly exclaimed as his fingers hit something sharp.
He retreated his hand, noticing his fingers were bleeding.
"What was that?"
He didn’t realize that a droplet of his blood had fallen on the wall. The droplets of the blood trickled down, landing on the ground, soon absorbed by the ground completely.
As soon as the ground absorbed the blood droplet, it started shaking. Not only the ground inside the Pyramid but the whole world started shaking.
It was as if the world was going through a massive earthquake. The earthquake caused an enormous uproar in all the world. The place where it was day, people ran to take shelter in safe places, scared for their lives.
As for the world where it was night, people started waking up from their sleep as their beds began shaking.
