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 ce, and also some of the past winners or record-achieving events that urred 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 g, and so on.


    Although the formats of the tournament were usually different, it was usually a structured tournament that always took ce 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 particr 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 ce, ces even I would struggle to survive in. Can you believe it?! Do you know how dangerous a ce has to be for me to say it is dangerous?!}


    {Crazy shit honestly.}


    {Let me give you fools examples of some of the dangerous ces you could encounter. Hmm… There''s a ce filled with Volcanoes, a sea ofva, and fire monsters, but now that I think about it, that ce is not really dangerous.}


    {There''s also a ce where there''s lightning, thunderstorms, and extremely dangerous tornadoes. The lightning, thunderstorms, and tornadoes never stop, so it can be dangerous for some of you. But I was able to survive that ce with ease, so it wasn''t so dangerous. The tornadoes made it somewhat difficult and annoying since I was always blown away. But I survived easily, soooo, yeah, that ce isn''t difficult.}


    {There''s a dead jungle, a ce filled with nothing but ice and a lot of snow, there''s also a ce where the ground changes every single time. Oh yeah, that ce was really strange when I think about it. It was a ce filled with mountains made of stones, rocks, metals, and even sand. Truly a strange ce. It was not really dangerous, but it was strange.}


    {There''s also an extremelyrge ocean. I don''t know much about that ce since I''m not really a fan of water, you see. My father used to drown me till I was out of breath, sooo, yeah.} n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    {Oh yeah! Now I remember the two ces that almost killed me. One was a ce where time had no meaning. Time in that ce was extremely distorted, and anybody without the ability to manipte or control time to a certain degree would not notice the difference. However, those who are familiar with time would notice how time would sometimes be slow or extremely fast in that ce.}


    {Gravity is also distorted there, and even thews of physics are also distorted in that damned ce. You might be staying on a t surface in one moment, but in the next moment, you might find yourself standing on a vertical surface, you might even find yourself submerged underwater or in a sea ofva after some time.}


    {I call that ce The Nexus of Madness. It most likely has another name though.}


    {The second ce that almost killed me was a Labyrinth. Thinking about that damn ce gives me the creeps.}


    {Hmmm. I think that''s all?}


    {Oh, there are also Temples of those beings they call "The Old Ones". They''re extremely strange temples though. If any of you find any of the Temples, my advice would be for you to leave it behind if you''re weak.}


    {I think I''m meant to give you unfortunate souls more information, but it has slipped my mind.}


    {Hmm, let me think.}


    {Oh, now I remember, this is actually the main information I''m meant to give you guys from the beginning.}


    {There are a few things you should note.}


    {One, whenever you hear a bell chime, it means you guys would be randomly transported to any ce in the Shattered Dimension. It can be any of the ces I previously mentioned, or it might even be a ce I''ve never been to. Who knows, and who cares?}


    {The bell chime urs at extremely random times. It can ring after an hour, after a day, after a week, or it might not even ring at all. So, once you hear the bell chime, be prepared to get transported to another ce in the shattered dimension.}


    {Two, if you don''t want to be teleported to a random ce, then you''ll need to obtain a stone called An Ancient Stone. I guess they call it an Ancient Stone because of the shattered dimension''s name.}


    {The Ancient Stones have a specific number of usages, and it depends on the type of ancient stone you find. The more lines an ancient stone has, the higher the number of uses it has. The ancient is a dark purple stone, and whenever the bell chime rings, a line on an ancient stone in a person''s possession vanishes.}


    {Ancient stones are very rare actually, and if you''re lucky, you can find them when you kill a monster or in an extremely random ce. Oh yeah, I heard that one can also find ancient stones in the Temples. However, how many of you weaklings can survive a temple of The Old Ones?}


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


    {Number four, if you want to leave this ce, you have to reach and climb the extremelyrge 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 ce.}


    {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.
