==================================

"I expect there will be something more challenging than the Wither." Wildcat said, didn't expect the person who summoned the Wither to be very weak.

"Hm, don't know, maybe she was that very weak." Vanoss nodded as he put his Mega AK down.

"Yeah, only prefer using your own children to do all the work, never deal with it yourself, whoever does the same thing was just some typical loser antagonist, who knows, probably some half man half machine with his minions all the work instead of him."

(Earth, Year 4201)

"Hm? Is there something that mentions me...?"

A man, or a machine asked with a tone that has nothing but a void of emotions, as countless drones rebuilding one city in the background.

"That will not be possible, about 0% known life was detected on this planet, probably some anthropomorphic pig mentions my motives somewhere outside the universe, who knows…"

Saying this, the human android continue his 1000 years of work of rebuilding the planet...

Not until the next couple of years :3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Vanoss.... defeated the Necromancer, the two anthropomorphic animals were back underground, but unlike before it took them hours to get to the treasury room because the mansion was completely decimated including it collapses the underground treasury room, burying the known treasures of the great individual. They also have to drink Night Vision potion to see the dark properly.

"Wildcat, why would we go back to the damn place? It is getting dark outside 😧 " Vanoss asked to his friend by his side.

"Well you shouldn't blow up the fucking mansion, dipshit!"  Wildcat yelled as he pushed the debris with all of his strength while carefully not to make a mistake or else they will be like what happened to the glorious treasures.

"I don't have a choice, that black armor rotten dead guy was too tough, do you see it just tank a rocket launcher? With that much TNT it is more effective."

"Grrr, I sometimes hate when you're right."

As they continue to search the place for another 3 hours, they finally made it to the treasury room because they spotted about 20 gold coins on the ground.

"There, we found it, hurry up then we'll be going." Evan says.

"Hold up, seeking the treasury room, it's not just my only thing to find." Tyler said as he continued to move forward.

"Come ooon, this isn't an Aldon Jones movie or a Tomb Raider one."

"Would you shut up!"

Thanks to the fallen debris and the cloud of smoke, Wildcat has a hard finding what he finds until he finally came across the 200 Tombs.

The reason why Wildcat wants to find the cemetery was to find that one tomb the Necromancer mentions. Hearing her words made him very curious, including the skills she mentions, playing rpg games since he was young, he definitely wants to have it on his hands.

The only thing Wildcat knew was that the tomb was somewhere in this large room him and Vanoss were.

Carefully looking around the destroyed room, he notice a strange design to his right. Looking at it carefully on it he noticed that it looks luxury compare to the horror vibes in this room.

Without a second thought, Wildcat immediately pulled out an enchanted diamond pickaxe enchanted with multiple good maximum enchantments.

*Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*

With a loud sound, Wildcat kept hitting it almost 30 times as dozens of sweat drops from Wildcat's head.

"I don't think you can easily break it man, it's probably made out of reinforce unknown metal alloy in it, probably stronger than Obsidian, we probably just—"

Before Vanoss speak another word, the door automatically opens.

"Oh."

"Ah ha! What kind of treasures does that bitch was talking about! Thinking about it makes me greedy!"

As the door completely opens, it only 

reveals nothing but a small room with a hole on the wall that could fit a single person, leading towards a long tunnel.

"That's it?" Evan asked.

"No, there could be more, probably there is something in there."

"Probably that Woman only seeks the guy's glorious hole? Hehe."

"Shut the fuck up, Evan!"

Taking out a Minecraft Torch from his inventory, without hesitation he immediately made his way inside of the small hole.

"Sigh, if it's shit and pissed in here, I'll be the first one to take a bath!"

No choice, he follows his pig friend.

The first thing the two noticed when they entered the hole was that everything in front of them was hollow, an abyss as if it looked at them back.

*Gulp*

Following his line of sight, Wildcat involuntarily gulped as he continued to crawl all the way inside towards the pitch-black endless tunnel that he and Vanoss were in.

Looking in front of him, he couldn't help but feel cold sweat drip from his back, as it truly did look like there was no end to the hole.

"Backrooms, why has to be the fucking backrooms…"

Gathering up his courage he held tightly onto his fist and made his move deeper to the tunnel, crawling towards the unknown followed by Vanoss.

1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 5 hours, by the time their minds started to feel hallucination, Wildcat had lost count of how long they had been crawling in the small tunnel.

"Just how deep is this fucking hole???" Vanoss couldn't help but ask in a gloomy tone.

"Have no idea, man."

Both of their arms, legs, and their back at this point were starting to unbearably cramped from the pain of continuously crawling towards the endless tunnel, the lack of space and crawling in the same position for hours or even days began to agonized the two even more, and before they knew it, their mental state was also degrading.

Still, regardless of how much they were suffering, Wildcat endured the pain and continued making his way towards the tunnel, but except for Vanoss as he now lost consciousness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Dong!* *Dong!* *Dong!*

Suddenly Wildcat heard the loud sound of a bell tolling, causing his mind to spin and his eyes to shoot wide open.

"What the fuck!"

For a moment when Vanoss lost consciousness, a few seconds after that, he also lost consciousness, he first thought he died but he wasn't.

Abruptly sitting up straight, he found his body drenched in sweat. Touching his body in a daze he noticed he was on top of a small bed with the bedsheets damp from his sweat. Looking at his hands he couldn't see any trace of the previous gruesome scene from when they were crawling endlessly in the tunnel.

For second there, he thought everything was just a mere dream but then he realize the feeling of the atmosphere was unrecognizable, meaning it wasn't a dream.

He look to his right and saw Vanoss, in another bed with the same condition as he is.

" 😴 "

He let out a sign of relief.

Glancing around, he finally took notice of their surroundings. They were inside a small room with what seemed to be Japanese-style. The room was rather empty, and aside from a small tea table and a large ancient clock that constantly tolled in the corner of the room, there was no other furniture.

Taking out a bottle of water, without hesitation he spilled it on Evan's face, waking him up instantly.

"What the???" Evan immediately startled.

"Evan, wait the fuck up!" Wildcat yelled out.

"Where the hell are we?" Vanoss asked.

"We might be in Jackie-chan's home, asian heaven or something." Tyler replied as he looked around their surroundings.

Looking around for a moment, Vanoss signs in relief but then he mentions.

"What happened?"

" We just lost consciousness, resulting in us stuck in the depths of hell."

"Oh…"

When they are about to have a long conversation, suddenly a new voice interrupts them.

"You up, kids?"

""Huh?""

Snapping their heads to the right, where the voice was coming from, a man about probably in his 20s or 30s sat next to the tea table preparing some tea. His carefree movements and his calm demeanor when preparing the tea, blended with the tranquil surroundings.

The aroma coming from the tea filled the entire room prompting them to momentarily relax. But not for long as Vanoss and Wildcat immediately jumped out of their beds and warily looked at the stranger before them.

Jet black hair, deep black eyes, a stern but yet kind-looking face, and a red shirt with black jacket.

[IMAGES]

"Relax kids, I'm not gonna do anything to all of you." The man said.

"Who the hell are you?" Tyler warily asked without letting his guard down.

Smacking his fist in his hand, as if he was reminded of something the stern-looking young asian man looked at the two and spoke.

"Ah! that's right! I haven't introduced myself yet have I?" Slightly smiling, he extended his right hand towards the two directions. "A pleasure to meet you, fellows, my name is Monty Oum."

"Oh, pleasure to meet you, I'm Evan Fong, but you can call me Vanoss."

While Evan did the same thing, meanwhile in Wildcat, his pupils instantly dilated, and his mouth went slack.

"Hold the fuck up! Your Monty Own? THE Monty Oum? B-But but b-but how? Aren't you already dead!"

Vanoss look at Wildcat confusingly as he speech stuttered and his body trembled as he looked at the man before him in shock.

"Hey, kid don't be like that."

"Haha, don't need to worry mister Oum, there might be a reason he has that behaviour." Vanoss assured, chuckling.

Laughing bitterly at his reaction, Monty Oum calmly put down the teapot and blew on the teacup in his hand.

"Hm, I see. It's alright, people will be shocked on how a Legendary Warrior who had killed many Evil Deities for hundreds of years returned from death."

Turning his attention back to the pig beastmen, he spoke.

"Hm...yes technically I could be considered to be dead but… someone or some beastmens intruded my home waking up the remnant soul I left behind when I passed away."

""Remnant soul?"" The two asked in sync.

Once an expert reached a certain rank, they could learn an ancient technique known as {Soul Division}. Its main purpose was to split a soul and attach it to an object, allowing a person to for a short moment of time interact with the initiator of the technique. To better summarize the technique, it was basically a live recording that you could interact with.

It had no attack power, and apart from inheriting the memories of the initiator, had no other feature.

"Cough… Sorry about that."

Explaining what it was, the two began to understand but it was hard to believe such a thing existed.

"No worries no worries, I had expected this kind of reaction to happen once someone found my resting place. So, uhh, you pig beastmen what's your name?"

"Don't call me that, the name's Tyler."

"Ah, what a quite strange name, it kinda felt... familiar… oh well, a pleasure to meet you, Tyler."

Gripping his hand, they both looked at each other and shook our hands.

"Please both of you sit down."

Hearing it, the two sat as Monty Oum took the porcelain teapot and dumped the contents that were in it.

"Green or black?" He asked.

"Ehmm… I'll go with green." Vanoss answered.

"Black." Wildcat does the same.

Smiling lightly, Oum added the tea leaves to the brewing vessel and slowly poured hot water inside of the vessel to let the leaves soak and steep in the pot, and then began to make one for Tyler as well.

"You know I was once young and foolish back in my time, I don't know if you know this but I lived in some world known as Earth. It was one of the most beautiful and horrible places once you visited there. It has—"

Hearing this, the two spitted their teas, stuttering the man.

""YOUR FROM EARTH!?!!!""

"What the... wait you knew what Earth is?" Calming down for a moment, Oum asked the two.

"Of course we know earth. Wait a minute, I FUCKING knew it!! You're THE Monty Oum!" Wildcat shouted, pointing his finger at the Asian-looking man.

"Really? Huh, I haven't met someone from Earth for a very long time. You knew me?"

"Of course we knew you! You're the guy who created that webshow RWBY."

"Oh... I almost forgot about that. Haha, I wonder how my friends are over there... How is the show going? And the company?"

"Not really, during the years, shits has been happening really bad. From what I heard, they are accused of being racist, transphobia, and overall toxicity of employment, many of the old employees quit, and other shit is going on." Wildcat said as he recalled the news he heard on social media.

"It's been controversy after controversy, and scandal after scandal, and this may possibly be the final nail in the coffin for Rooster Teeth since it has now become the next Channel Awesome, but on a much grander scale." Tyler said.

"Wait, that happened?" Evan asked.

"Of course, Evan." Tyler replied before continuing, "As for RWBY, I am unsure of what will happen to the show, all I know is that a lot of CRWBY is turning against them. I figure that if Rooster Teeth does recover, RWBY will continue but will probably most likely not feel the same as it was. If they do crash and burn, RWBY's naming rights might get sold off to another company, or it will be canceled entirely."

"I see... I guess time has changed." Oum said, lowering his head, unhappy about what's happening to his old life.

Turning his attention to Vanoss, Oum asks. "What about you, lad?"

"Well, never watch the show but I still remember you but not much." Vanoss answered, sipping his tea.

"Okay, well not a big surprise, and wait, how did you two end up here? I never knew another Earthlings would be here without my notice, why did you become beastmens?"

"Why do people call us beastmens? And as for your question, we were transported, they are 7 of us though, we somehow became our gaming avatars and other shit."

"Hm... that's new."

"What about you? How did you end up here?" Wildcat is turned to ask.

"Well, the funny story is after I died from my allergic reaction, somehow I woke up as a child of some royal family in a powerful country. I became king, gave four daughters names after the main characters I made in my story and created weapons for them and went on."

"Great story but I heard you mention other Earthlings like us, what's that?" 

This time, it is Vanoss's turn to ask.

"Oh, I think I did mention it, well, you didn't know this when you first arrived here but there are other earthlings before you came here. One that got summoned, one got reincarnated in here, like me, and others."

"Wow, that could make anime weebs very jealous of their asses."

Staring at each other eye to eye for a couple of seconds, Oum suddenly laugh and patted both of their shoulder

"Good, it seems that my luck isn't too bad."

Walking past the two, he slid the door and walked outside the room as he gestured then to follow along

"Enough with earth talks, it will keep bringing me happy and sad memories, it's quite painful. Follow me, you two."

As soon as the two left the room they were left flabbergasted. An inexplicably beautiful garden stood before them. Wildcat felt a sudden loss of breath as he stood there blankly, mesmerized by the scene.

*Tak!* *Tak!* *Tak!*

Lush green plants vibrantly covered the surroundings of the garden and in the middle of it appeared a large transparent pond where koi fish of multiple different sizes freely swam in it. Birds freely roamed and chirped around the cloudless blue sky, and occasionally you would hear the repetitive yet relaxing sound of the bamboo fountain planted in the garden.

It seems his ancestor genes are starting to paint all over his face.

The more they walked around the garden the more they were left mesmerized by the surroundings.

Approaching the pond, Vanoss could see different colored koi fish which ranged from red and white slightly peeking the surface of the water almost as if they were aware of their presence.

In the middle of the pond stood a small island connected by a small wooden bridge.

Walking across the bridge, once again their breath was taken away.

A miniature stylized landscaped through which rocks, water features, and moss was neatly composed and surrounded by gravel which was raked to resemble ripples in water, appeared in their line of sight.

"A zen garden." Evan suddenly said.

"Indeed it is." Wildcat nodded.

"It's nice isn't it?"

Sitting comfortably near the zen garden, Oum waved his hand urging them to sit down next to him.

"It truly is."

"It was…"

Both replied at the same time as they both sat down on the ground beside him.

Silence enveloped them as they both calmly stared at the zen garden before them. It was strange but yet relaxing at the same time.

"You know I was really surprised when I first saw you two…"

The first to disrupt the silence was the legendary Monty Oun, who with a smile plastered on his face continued to look at the garden before him.

"Ever since my... second death, no one had ever been to this place, and rightfully so, as I made sure to hide this place from the prying eyes of those greedy bastards…" Oum said, with the last word he said in a venomous tone. "...Of course, even if they did find this place out of pure luck, I made sure they wouldn't be able to enter. I'm sure you know that the small tunnel you guys crawl in there was a test right?"

With a smile on his face Oum glanced at them, which made them recall the traumatizing experience they had gone through before.

'That bastard!'

'That bastard!'

The two thought the same thing.

"Yes we do remember." Evan calmly said with a smile but his eyes weren't.

"Hahaha! You're such an easy to read kid." Laughing out loud, Oum continued. 

"You see guys, I made that small tunnel there as a test to determine if someone was worthy of waking up my soul." Oum began to explain," I have casted a pocket dimension in that area, originally the tunnel was only 10 meters long, but I've made it infinite times longer. If you both had moved forward but quit after an hour you would've never been able to find this place. Even if you spent a day crawling forward you would've never been able to come here. Once you are able to firmly move forward for two days without any rest only then will you have the right to have an audience with me."

Both looking at Oum, they could faintly see a trace of admiration in his eyes as he looked at the two.

"4 days, 3 hours, 22 minutes, and 41 seconds. That's how long you've been going down the rope. Even as a remnant soul I was shocked by your sheer determination, boys. Both of you are very capable."

Hearing this, Wildcat kept a deadpan loom the whole time, in his mind...

'Determination my ass, I was fucking suffering that damn hole for long! Don't call that determination, blame my Indiana Jones feeling crap!'

"Even if you kept going because you wanted to live on, that still counts as determination. Moreover, you were never gonna die in the first place as it was just an illusion."

Hearing his words, both of them chuckled embarrassingly.

"Getting back on the topic, the reason why I created the endless tunnel test was to determine if someone is worthy enough to inherit my and my allies' last remaining skills. Someone with no determination can never hope to inherit them."

Standing up, Oum began to summon something until seven manuals appeared. Using his magic, both of the manuals float in mid air causing their jaws on a 'O' shape.

"Hey, save that surprise look later, I didn't show the most surprising part yet."

Opening the manual telekinetically, the two peek at the manual they were looking at.

{Everlasting Strike}                         {69-Strucks}                                                {Shadow Extration}                                       {Gates of Babylon}                                   {Infinite Beast Taming}                           {Thought Acceleration}                         {Armor of Zeldarein}

Wildcat, caught his eye on the skill {69-strucks}, he chuckled.

"Haha! What the fuck? Why did you name that—"

"I already got the joke, it's just a very weird coincidence." Oum cuts Tyler's words with a deadpan look.

"Haha, but it is still hilarious."

"I know, there are also some skills and spells similar to mine but unlike them, this one is at their true potential. After the Second Great War that destroyed countless knowledge and skills like mine. People began to remake them, like one of my skills {Everlasting Strike}, they were trying to remake a skill similar to mine but they aren't at their true potential."

"Wait so we can choose anything we want?" Tyler questioned.

"Yeah." Oum simply answers.

"What about more than one?" Evan asked.

"You can't, I casted a spell that one of you touches a second manual, your heart stops." Oum said, to everyone's nervousness.

"Really? 😓 " Evan asked, nervous at the information.

"I was joking but I wasn't joking, don't touch it, it will only stop parts of your vitals.

"I see, hehe." Wildcat nervously chuckles, flashback of him about to touch the infinity gauntlet.

"But what about we could give some to our friends?" Vanoss asked again.

"Hmmm, if they are worthy, they could, but it's up to the manual. I casted another spell that if one of your friends touch, it will electrocute them unless they are worthy of the skill.

"That's neat 🙂 "

"Alright, enough chit chatting, so...

...choose wisely."
