World Of Pandora

Active rivers began to be seen after Black continuously traveled. The majority of [E] rank monsters such as goblins, glade wolves, Elwood spiders, and red grizzlies avoided Black's existence.

[E] Rank monsters would always avoid themselves from the predator's eyes, considering Black as a predator in the [E] Rank monster's eyes.

Meanwhile, [D] rank monsters were still hostile towards Black, such as the hobgoblins, werewolves, orcs, and trolls. Most of the time he'd fight several [D] rank monsters at once, but in spite of his efforts, the experience points he gained became a problem. It was too low for him to level up since he has already reached level 64 after slaughtering different types of monsters that got in his way.

"Phew! [D] Rank monsters are barely giving me any experience points." Black murmured to himself.

[Warning: A monstrous being has been detected further north within 30 meters]

"A monstrous being?" He mumbled, curious to know what it was.

Without thinking about it, Black hurriedly ran, excited to meet the monstrous being and acquire more experience points.

But just as he got closer, after taking another step, his body trembled in recognition of sensing a powerful being.

[Notice: A Gilgamesh has been spotted.]

Gilgamesh!?" He thought, Surprised after hearing its name.

Gilgamesh, the monstrous beings that ruled the world he had been assigned before. They were catastrophe-level monsters that could equally fight against the demons.

Black's crimson eyes gleamed brightly. He was excited to meet one of the beings he had watched over before.

"I want to meet a Gilgamesh!" He said loudly and ran further, heading in Gilgamesh's direction.

Just as he reached an open area, a tall, muscular being covered in red fur stood facing its back towards Black. Its broad shoulders emphasized its muscular size as it slowly turned around after hearing Black's footsteps.

Its face resembled that of a lion, and it had two horns on its forehead, while two large, sharp fangs were seen at its mouth as it continuously chewed something. Its body was covered in purple liquid, and it held a headless hobgoblin in its hand.

"Gilgamesh!" Black yelled happily.

[Warning: The hostility level of Gilgamesh has increased to 50%]

[Gilgamesh, beings on par with the Demons. They are intelligent beings, able to command and conquer inferior beings. They are very prideful and persistent]

"It really is a Gilgamesh! I've seen their race before! They fought against the demon race! Haha! Lucky!" Black happily said, glad to see a Gilgamesh in front of his eyes.

"Huh? Who are you, human? How do you know about our past?" The Gilgamesh asked.

[Notice: The hostility level of Gilgamesh has decreased to 20%]

"Um, I was the overseer of your world. I'm a demi-god. You can call me Black." He stated, Introducing himself.

"A Demi-god!? You foul beings that took over this world! You killed my Brethren and instigated humankind to hunt our race!" Gilgamesh uttered, Angered by the mere mention of the demi-gods, he then threw away the hobgoblin's headless body and instantly rushed towards Black with killing intent.

[Warning: The hostility level of Gilgamesh has increased to 100%]

"Eh!? What are you talking about!?" Black mumbled in confusion and instantly used his skill: shadow binding, which immediately prevented Gilgamesh from moving.

"Huh!? Why is my body unable to move!?" Gilgamesh uttered, completely surprised, and furiously tried moving his body as it jolted continuously.

"What are you talking about? What did you mean I killed your brethren?" Black asked, hoping for some sincere answers.

"You! How dare you try to lie! You said you were a demi-god! How dare you lie!" Gilgamesh wailed loudly as his voice trembled.

"I am not the one who caused it." Black mumbled silently with his gaze pointed at the floor.

"Just by looking at you! I can see you are one of them! "With their princely features, dyed beautiful hair, and muscular figure, I can tell you are one of them!" Gilgamesh insisted.

"What do you mean dyed hair? Can you tell me?" Black asked.

[Notice: Based on his mild description, my comprehension tells me that they are the demi-gods who were reduced into mortals and converted their appearances into humankind.]

So does that mean their hair colors are the same as their provisional names?" Black asked through thought communication.

[Answer: Yes]

I see." He mumbled in his head and went in front of the Gilgamesh.

"Gilgamesh, I am not one of them. If you believe me, I can guarantee you that I'll help you avenge your brethren." Black spoke with a serious demeanor that gave Gilgamesh chills all over his spine.

[Notice: The hostility level of Gilgamesh has decreased to 2%]

"I see. So are you willing to talk peacefully now?" Black asked and deactivated his shadow binding skill.

Gilgamesh gasped and nodded, quietly sitting down in front of Black.

"I will tell you everything I know if you promise that you'll help me take revenge upon those unworthy demi-gods." Gilgamesh said, while sincerity could be heard through his voice.

"Yes, I promise you. Since I also have something to settle with them." Black uttered, exuding an uncontrollable energy that pressured Gilgamesh.

[Notice: Stabilizing Mana Energy]

"Ahem." Gilgamesh coughed, trying to calm Black since his energy was leaking ferociously.

Without wasting any time, Gilgamesh told him about their story.

The Gilgamesh race was fighting against the Demon race on a particular day, while the sky was gleaming reddish like blood.

As their battle prolonged and became more vicious, a tremor began and instantly shook their world heavily.

A radiating light occurred and covered the red sky as they all stumbled on the ground, confused as to what was happening.

Before realizing, the earthquake stopped, and the sky began clearing and became blue.

They noticed that the dry land they stood on had turned into a wilderness they had never seen.

Silence occurred for several minutes as they thought about their current situation. Their battle against the demon race stopped and concluded with a truce.

They all decided to venture into the unknown land together and encountered different beings, such as humans and elves. But just as before they could talk with them, five beings suddenly appeared from the sky.

Their figures shone in different colors and slowly landed on the ground.

Their appearances cracked and shattered, while their figure changed into a human's appearance.

They called themselves demi-gods and introduced themselves as red, brown, yellow, white, and blue, as if it were based on their hair colors.

These self-proclaimed demi-gods instantly spouted rules and told all of the races that stood in front of them that they were the gods that would rule the world, which they named Pandora.

They explained that the world of Pandora consisted of different worlds combined after a tragic incident.

And so on. The humans and elves believed them, while the demons and Gilgamesh didn't.

The demi-god of the light, known as White, stated that he had already informed the other beings that were cast on this new world about their superiority.

Thus, disobeying them would lead to their demise. But the demons and Gilgamesh did not bother and insisted that no one could order them around. Prideful races such as them vigorously complained in front of the demi-gods.

Thus, after their complaints, the demi-gods began killing them one by one until they were forced to scatter all over the vast world.

And the Gilgamesh who told Black was among those who ran for their lives, escaping from the eyes of the demi-gods.

Black wondered and felt suspicious, "If what you're telling me is true, How come you're still alive?" He asked, wondering how Gilgamesh was still alive.

Hey System, How long have I been in slumber?" He asked through thought communication.

[Answer: You've been sealed in the abyss for thousands of years, and the new world of Pandora was produced just before you got sealed.]

So if I was sealed for thousands of years, then this Gilgamesh should have died a long time ago." Black pondered.

"I see. I knew you would doubt my words since I am still alive even after living for thousands of years." Gilgamesh spoke in a quiet tone.

"So tell me the truth, Gilgamesh. I am not fond of lies." He stated it in a serious tone.

"I am an immortal, whose body cannot be incinerated. Even if I get killed, I will always get regenerated." Gilgamesh said.

"What!? How?" Black shockingly asked, startled by what he said.

Since only demi-god levels are able to become immortal. But even the five demi-gods were reduced to mere mortals right now after stepping inside the mortal realm. With Gilgamesh being a catastrophe tier, it was surely impossible for him to be an immortal being." Black pondered deeply, looking for a reasonable answer.
