CHAPTER 1-THE GUARDIAN'S FINAL QUEST

“Neo, please don't leave me, I am scared. Save me, save me, Neoooo!" A young pale-skinned lady drenched in a pool of blood crawled on the icy cold floor, stretching her bloody right hand, and reached out to a young man on the dungeon floor. She stared at her soiled, bloody brown eyes hidden in her rebellious strands of blonde hair.

"Noo! Sandra, please grab my hands," the young man cried as he pleaded, stretching his right hand across to her in a bizarre, horrible scene. Hundreds of American Adventurers lay dead on the floor in a twisted, horrible state. Heads smashed with their skulls to a bloody, icy ground.

Legs and bodies twisted and separated from their bodies, scattered to different parts of the icy dungeon. But his eyes watched his only love grabbed from the ice floor by a monstrous clawed white icy hand lifted by a towering humanoid monster known as the ice giant.

His clawed zigzag teeth and fangs revealed a smile and laughter on his silver face as his red eyes stared at the little human squeezed in his hand. His head was similar to that of a lion, and his fur was identical to that of a wolf. He opens his teeth, and Sandra's body fits right into his zigzag, sharp teeth. Neo watched as the monster's teeth closed together with the shared amount of force.

Splaaaaash!

Torrents of Sandra's blood scattered into the air as it turned into billions of bloody, watery droplets raining like showers on Neo's face. The shock on Neo's face as his eyes widened from his kneeling position. The monster let loose the body to slip from his palm and fall to the floor. He lifted his right leg and rammed it into the air, accompanied by the same amount of force. He smashed Sandra's body to the icy ground. The ground violently crumbles.

Splash!

A torrent of blood filled the air, and the cracking, crunching sounds of bones echoed in Neo’s ear. Neo's eyes filled with tears, his body unable to bear the pain, and countless memories of the lovely moments they both shared flooded through his mind. Tears filled his eyes, and his heart ached in great pain as he squeezed his hooded brown cloak. Unable to breathe, he opened his mouth with a mixture of pain, anger, and sadness.

“ kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

His scream echoes with a loud vibration through the dungeon hall. His body begins to glow and cackle blue lightning energy and a mixture of illuminated golden light magic that turns into a growing colossal golden blue ball. The monster's eyes widened, and in fear, he turned his tail and ran into a white portal gate while the blue-golden energy ball illuminated, growing bigger and bigger. It occupied the dungeon and incinerated it.

Boom!

Kaboom

The massive amount of energy exploded, and there was an earthquake that shook across the world. A thousand dungeons across Earth suddenly activated. Caked statues of Gods and monsters crack, tear, and break, crumbling into dust, and these monsters let loose on a rampage.

.....

The world awoke to a gruesome day that was supposed to be perfect, at least for me.

I glanced around me, and all I could see was a red sky and a world set on fire. Numerous military airplanes flew over the sky and shot an avalanche of nuclear missiles into the air.

A tremendous roar drew me from where I was standing, and when I looked back, I saw hundreds of crumbling dungeons collapse to the ground.

Reptilian dragon-like monsters and creatures flew across the sky from a giant dungeon hole. The military fired nuclear missiles, but they were losing in combat against them. When I thought it couldn't get worse than what had already happened, then...

In an instant, the red sky brightened with multiple portals in the shape of towering lightning doors eight hundred feet from the ground stretched to the sky, and from those doors made of bright blue ice cackled with lightning.

Pusssssh!!!!!!

There was corrosive ice mist and cold smoke that clouded the visibility of the earth. The towering buildings and skyscrapers were covered in cold mist, and the skyscraper windows began to freeze and solidify in ice instantly. Moving vehicles, trees, buildings, and trains in close range of the ice lightning door were frozen in ice.

Dak!

Dak!

Dak!

The Loud sound of a colossal dark bluish humanoid foot clawing up in deafening lightning shook across the earth as it walked from the cold lightning door.

All of humanity lifted into the air and smashed against the ground as it walked. Humanity watched in horror from wherever they were, and their eyes widened in despair as this dark bluish humanoid monster with colossal crown horns identical to the shape of the Statue of Liberty emerged.

THUD!

From another portal entrance composed of blue hellish flaming flames, another enormous volcanic black-blue humanoid foot thuds and shakes the earth, demolishing tall buildings that seem like tiny boxes relative to their size. As the colossal towering titan began to emerge from the bluish burning corrosive smoke and walk across the earth, humanity was in disbelief, as they were tiny like ants before his massive height as it walked past several thousand people.

His giant foot smashed the buildings to nothingness they all taught proudly were the tallest. They quiver in despair, no matter how much the fastest car humanity had ever made or the fastest runner bolt would run. They won't be able to outrun his giant foot that stomped humans, buildings and anything on his part smashed to earth as it walked by casually.

The military planes and fastest fighter jets were like tiny mosquitoes before his magnificent leg. The Nightmare Netherians so it was called, the nightmare eight hundred tall, the city skyscrapers of America were small compared to it.

The blue flame nightmare was a humanoid creature with a body composed of bright blue and black volcanic flames, fiery blue eyes, and teeth resembling a decomposed human skull, all white blue, caustic steam billowed from his lips. From its head to its feet, its blue flames flowed down its body like lava water.

From a distance, the nightmare Netherians is seen as it glares at the metropolis in front of it. As it advances extremely slowly, everything beneath its feet is frozen or burnt from the earth, leaving nothing behind but black pits of scorched dirt and not even the roads or debris.

ROOOOOAAAOAAAAAAR!

As the nightmare drew nearer, more frightening roars of demonic screaming could be heard. In front of it were a sizable assemblage of adventurers, as well as military aircraft and armored vehicles. They were getting ready to give their lives to give regular people more time to flee. These courageous men and women risked their lives and differences to help the residents of America flee. Some were explorers and hunters, while others were from their home city. But our hope quickly turned to despair.

Eyes darted when five bluish hundred more Netherian’s nightmares of different elements walked out. A group of people went to their knees and said, "So this is the end of the world."

...….

Thousands of relic-towered dungeons appeared across a thousand worlds thousands of years ago. Humanity lived and ventured into these dungeons for treasure, not knowing what it was, but on this fateful day. The world experienced a global apocalypse. It was not just the end of the world, but a war that would end the world and all of humanity. Humanity united as one to take a stand against a powerful force without even knowing who they were fighting with; every military and government supernatural department on the planet suffered horrible defeat against them.

The dungeons across the world were activated with five thousand Titian's monsters and five hundred nightmares. Looking like demonic monstrous mutants with a single bite on human flesh, humans were turned into mindless savages infecting one another like some zombie apocalypse.

Humanity fought the war, which was not just for survival but to prevent the rebirth of a high lord that would destroy the earth and a thousand parallel worlds that humanity discovered with life, and the key to this rebirth of this high king named Deus was no other person but me.

"Yes", yes, it’s me. I bear the burdens and reasons why this world is ending. I was the vessel of the demon lord to be reborn and reincarnated, known as the third Adam.

Within my veins and blood were a great conflict and a bloodline of a half-demon Netherian, a half- god Athearian sprite, and a human. I was the bone of contention between the forces of good, the god-guardians, and the forces of evil that had caused all of humanity to suffer, and anywhere I would be it state or country. It would end up as an apocalyptic invasion of monsters, and now, to crown it with despair, the nightmare titan has awoken to join the pursuit.

I watched my friends and the one I love the most, slaughtered by monsters known as the fallen ones. Their screams and agony are etched in my memories, as is the smell of the blood of my fellow countrymen. The wonderful news was that the people who turned into mindless zombies were still alive and could be free.

They were to captured humans and transformed into fallen soldiers to fight their wars. They aimed to capture all of humanity and make them mindless weapons to invade other worlds. This was a conquest of worlds, however, within my blood was the antidote to cure the fallen, but to do that. I must become stronger and grow a massive army; however, I failed at that as well.

Days of war had gone by, and a decisive battle for humanity had begun with the American army as the full frontier. Then, a woman who was the sole reason for the apocalypse suddenly appeared floating in the sky.

Her body-fitting scarlet clothes, crimson eyes, and crowned bluish horns horrified humanity. Calling me her son, she demanded that the world's forces offer me up as the rebirth vessel. She was the greatest evil in history, on a mission to resurrect the demon Netherian high king. She summoned forth just by raising her hands, high above the sky.

"COME FORTH, OH CITY OF THE GODS "DEUS-DE- CA- LEON".

When we all looked into the heavens, the binding light glowed brighter and brighter. Suddenly, a mighty boulder, which contains buildings and a gigantic throne of some kingdoms and cities, descended swiftly like a giant meteorite, with fire beneath the boulder crashing down atop towering buildings and skyscrapers.

The joint army and continent of the west were scorched to earth, and the west had become her palace. The great invasion called the fall of humanity began, however, when all hope was lost. Despair and horror were etched on our faces when he came.

The guardian’s messenger and the bearer of DOUBLEKEGGER SHADOW MONSTER SYSTEM, with the guardian’s final quest, arrived at the battle scene in front of an army of nightmare Titians. He was armored to the teeth with a god-like golden-winged helmet and golden illuminated armor like the ode of Thor holding an engraved golden staff spear known as the staff nightmare, which deafens my ears with thunderous sparkly lightning.

He was the last defending messenger of the seven god guardians left to fight. He told me that the woman who called me son had trapped the six God guardians of the seven realms who were left to save humanity. The Guardians of Time and Destiny sent the Guardians Philosopher stones to six worlds to select six brave warriors with pure hearts to fight alongside.

At a deciding moment, I stared into my father's eyes for the first time, and he said to me,

"Son! The struggle between Good and Evil, a God and the devil trapped in a human body, lies within you. The Guardians and all of humanity will perish if you are taken prisoner. For the inhabitants of the thousand planets, the Guardians, the seven celestial realms, and a thousand worlds, you are their only hope. In other words, you are the balance and bridge that holds a thousand worlds and seven divine realms together. If you lose, humanity is doomed. If you win, then humanity has a decisive advantage.

I have come to deliver to you the guardian’s gift and his message to you, oh Adam the third. Within my body is the Mana core, made of fragments of particles from seven philosophers combined into one known as the shard philosopher stone. You are to infuse this mana core into your body, and I am to send you to the other world. For this to work, I must die for you to possess this stone. Now engulf your hand in lightning, Mana, and strike at the side of my heart and remove the core.”

“I don’t understand; I just met you, father. I have thousands of questions to ask you, and now you have to die. Why, is there no other way?” He walked to me and hugged me.

"Son, I know I have not been the best father. I have been trapped, but I watched from the divine realm as you grew. I wish I had more time to spend with you, but I am sorry. I wish there was another way, but there is none. All the knowledge you want to know will come to you as memories when the philosopher stone is inside you.”

“But Dad”

“There is no time. I have to save this world before it ends” he touched my head, and suddenly, a load of memories flashed into my mind and immediately I understood what he meant and what I must do. Tears stream through the delicate part of my face. I wish there was another way to save us and the earth, but there is truly none. I wrapped my right hand with mana which cackled into golden lightning. I dash my foot and pose for the strike aimed at his heart.

I couldn’t stop tears from flowing down my face, and my hands shook as I stared at his face. My eyes gleamed, and I could see by the side of his heart a mana core made of seven different colors from the philosopher stones. I hesitated and he said

"SON! DO NOT HESITATE, FOR THE WORLD IS DEPENDING ON YOU. IT IS TIME FOR YOUR ADVENTURE TO BEGIN. THE GUARDIAN'S FINAL QUEST- JOURNEY INTO SIX WORLDS AND GATHER SIX HEROIC INHERITORS OF THE PHILOSOPHER STONES JOIN THE STONES AND OPEN THE PORTAL TO THE CELESTIAL REALM WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER. FREE THE GOD GUARDIANS FOR A FINAL WAR AGAINST DARK LORD VONDOR."

Before I can ever dream of defeating Dark Lord Vondor and his armies, with the help of the double kegger shadow monster system, I must train hard. At the same time, I journey into six worlds and must be able to control the nightmare staff of lightning that can transform into a sword made from seven philosopher stones of the god guardian and its golden full armor made of magical Mana.

Those were the first words he burdened me with on our first father and son encounter, and those were also the last words and the last time I would see my father.

I dashed into the air, thrust my lightning hand to the side of his heart, and grabbed the philosopher's mana core out of his body. Blood spat out of his mouth, yet he took the core and infused it into my body. I writhed in pain as the mana moved and occupied a large space at my core. Veins pop with mana, but I overcome the pain.

After his work was done, with the remaining time, he elevated and floated in the air, illuminated with golden energy, in the middle of a thousand nightmares. He lifted the Staff of Lightning to the sky, and bright blinding lights, accompanied by deafening thunderous cackled lightning, thundered across the world from one point where he stood. He looked at me and said,

“Son, remember this I love you.”

[ DOUBLEKEGGER SHADOW MONSTER SYSTEM-SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATED]

A blinding bright light exploded in the air, and that would be the last time I would see him as my body evaporated into the air. I was just a mere human yesterday, and now I am the bridge. I had to find out the identity of who I am. I am neither God nor a savior. I am just me, laden with responsibilities I never planned for. I am the third Adam.
