The Rise Of A Tribal Deadbeat

Zok was the youngest son of the Chieftain of the Zukira tribe. But that was all he had going for him. To everyone else, he was known as the tribal deadbeat. Unlike his father and elder brother, he had no talents whatsoever and spent most of his days sleeping and eating. In a tribe full of great warriors, his existence was frowned upon. No one wanted to associate themselves with him. Until one day a mysterious cave appeared in the Zukira territory. The sudden appearance of such a cave wasn't a surprise as it was a common occurrence. These caves often had weird markings on them according to which the tribesmen classified them into different difficulties. This particular cave, however, was peculiar because it didn't have any markings on it. Thus the tribesmen decided to send in Zok along with a couple of others to go and investigate the cave. Zok was reluctant to do so but was forced by his family and under their pressure, he had to go in. The trio went inside the cave which turned out to be empty. There were no monsters inside, which was peculiar. The only thing inside was a pond filled with acid. Zok went to check the pond out but a moment later, he was pushed inside it. No one knew that the ones accompanying Zok were the ones who would try to kill him. However, instead of dying inside the pool of acid, Zok obtained a newfound power. A power that would forever change his destiny. Follow him on his journey for revenge, in the epic story: The Rise of a Tribal Deadbeat. *** Cover by: Joelin Tan

Instance Dungeon (3)

Zus had been living in the cold lands for more than a decade. Thus he was possibly the most knowledgeable person there could have been in terms of knowing more about the creatures found there than anyone else.

That being said, Zok was aware of this fact. If he had Zus' knowledge, then he could know exactly what he had to look for to get out of the dungeon. Thankfully, the two of them managed to come to a mutual understanding, as both of them were betrayed by Skah and the shamans.

That pain of betrayal certainly made it easier for them to work together. However, even then Zok's instinctual answer was to kill Zus and take his knowledge for himself. The thought only lasted for a second, but it almost felt as if he had almost given in to the temptation of killing him.

It was a weird feeling almost as if something inside his head wanted to kill Zus. But Zok somehow managed to fight back the urge. He didn't need to kill Zus to think if he was answering his questions honestly or not.
