The City of Death

The six initial system users had journeyed far and wide, their quest leading them to the very heart of the underworld, Yan Luo's domain. They had heard tales of the once-thriving metropolis known as the city of death, a place that was ruled by their system creator.

As they approached the grand city, the group was struck by the eerie silence that enveloped the area. The absence of the usual sounds of life, such as the honking of cars and the chatter of people, sent shivers down their spines. The only sounds that broke the stillness were the rustling of the wind through the ruins and the occasional sounds of the city's few remaining residents.

Despite the devastation that surrounded them, the city was alive with the sound of vegetation. Plants of all kinds had sprung up between the cracks in the pavement, and vines and ivy crept up the sides of the remaining structures. Trees had taken root where they could, sending their branches skyward in defiance of the destruction. It was as if the city had been left to the mercy of nature, and nature had taken it as a challenge.

The sight was both eerie and captivating. The way the vegetation had reclaimed the destroyed buildings gave the city a certain beauty that could not be denied. It was a work of art in its own right, a true testament to the power of nature and the resilience of life.

It was as if the destruction had been carried out with a certain aesthetic in mind, as if the destruction had been planned for a grander purpose. The intricately designed pieces that lay scattered throughout the city seemed to be placed with great care and purpose. The way the light shone through the shattered glass of a once grand building, the way the twisted metal of a collapsed bridge formed intricate shapes against the sky, it was all too beautiful for words.

It was a strange domain for the being known as the God of Death, yet it seemed fitting. The destruction and rebirth of the city mirrored the very essence of the deity itself. The way that life flourished in the midst of destruction was a reflection of the god's power, and the beauty that could be found within it was a testament to its creativity.

As the group approached the building indicated on their minimap feature, they were struck by its unique shape and the lush vegetation that seemed to sprawl across its exterior walls. It was as though nature had taken hold of the building and was slowly reclaiming it from the ravages of time.

Upon entering the building, they found themselves in a haven filled with lush plants, exotic animals, and various other wonders that Yan Luo had created. The group was initially hesitant and cautious around the strange creatures that resembled the monsters they had encountered in the dungeons back on Earth. However, they were soon reassured by Cyntax, the faceless man without a mouth, who explained that they were pets.

Suddenly, Alex spoke up, "Hey, since we're the six initial system users, why don't we come up with a name for our group, like the Avengers?"

Ayu replied, "Why bother?"

But Reinaldo, who had been teleported back to Earth, suddenly appeared and exclaimed, "That's a good idea!"

Ayu noticed that Reinaldo was covered in hickeys and asked mischievously, "Why are you full of hickies, Reinaldo?"

Reinaldo was embarrassed and looked away, but the group noticed a silver-haired woman standing in the back, blushing hard.

Ayu continued with a smirk, "Well, someone had fun while he was gone."

Reinaldo tried to protest, but the woman stepped forward and introduced herself as his fiancée. The group burst out laughing, and Ayu asked Reinaldo to introduce her.

With pride in his voice, Reinaldo said, "This is Zerya. She's the Arachne Queen and the most beautiful person I've ever met!"

Zerya blushed and stepped closer to Reinaldo, and Ayu made a lewd comment, "Hmm, I see, I see."

Cyntax then broke up the fun by saying, "Let's go inside. I'm going to brief you on the situation at hand." The group followed him into a room filled with holographic screens, and Cyntax began to explain the reason for their journey to Yan Luo's domain.

Cyntax cleared his throat before beginning his explanation, and the group gathered around him in rapt attention. The faceless man's words were measured and deliberate, his voice low and smooth like honey. He spoke of the intelligence possessed by the otherworldly gods, beings that had caused dungeons to appear on Earth.

According to Cyntax, these gods had come to Earth because their own world or dimension had been destroyed, and they had been forced to create small pockets of dimensions that they opened one by one on Earth. These pockets were what humans called dungeons.

The unknown creature's words sent a shiver down the spines of those listening. They had all experienced the horrors of the dungeons, but to hear that they were created by displaced beings seeking refuge was both intriguing and frightening.

Cyntax continued, explaining that the dungeons had a terraforming feature, meaning that if a dungeon broke, the area surrounding it would transform into the habitat of the dungeon monsters. He went on to explain that not everything inside the dungeons were monsters, and that some were intelligent and sapient creatures.

"Interdimensional refugees," Cyntax said solemnly. "They seek refuge by force. They are trapped in their own realm, and without a way out, they are left to roam within the dungeons and the surrounding area until the dungeon breaks."

The group listened in silence, their hearts heavy with the knowledge that these creatures were essentially prisoners in their own world. Cyntax then went on to explain that some of these creatures were never intended to stay in the dungeons.

They were simply unlucky enough to be caught in the dimensional rift between their world and the one they now found themselves in. Or, in some cases, they were put into dungeons by their own gods, who sought to conquer Earth.

As Cyntax further elaborated on the known gods, the group couldn't help but feel a sense of dread settle over them. The first god he spoke of was Karyon, the god of hybrid humans, demi-humans, and animals. This god ruled over various monsters and animals, and whether he would seek coexistence with humans was unknown.

Next was Demon God Orcus, a confirmed threat seeking to rule over Earth and turn it into his demon realm. The mere mention of Orcus sent a chill down the spines of the group, as they knew of his power and cruelty.

The final god that Cyntax spoke of was the dark god Nightvol, who controlled the horde. The horde was filled with mindless creatures of darkness and destruction that consumed everything in their path. The group shuddered at the thought of facing such a powerful and evil force.

As Cyntax finished his explanation, the group was left to ponder the fate of their world and their place in it. Would they be able to stand against these otherworldly gods and protect their home? Only time would tell.
