Ancient Ruins

Chapter 12 

Title: Ancient Ruins

So as soon as the giant lizard's tongue falls on the ground while still using SHU to run nen through my weapon, I just cut its tounge before it could touch me. I push off the ground and towards the giant lizard...

*fwosh*

And with a clean sweeping slash, I cut off the lizard's head. Then like usual I just summon my NEN Tablet and the body turns into particles. Then I click into my stats page and my glasses dissipate back into NEN.

I looked at my stats and especially at my EXP… I was tempted so many times to upgrade my NEN talent but I always remembered the condition that I made to myself for my ability. To be forced into a state of ZETSU when I upgrade either my NEN talent or NEN amount, that is no joke, especially in a dangerous environment like this. I will be no different than a human.

Then as I look at my EXP, I STILL have to force myself to not push the stat to upgrade. I have already seen what a level 7 talent which is one in ten thousand can do… what about a level 9… which is one in a million.  It is literally a hundred times better than level 7 talent, the speed at which I advance would  be at break neck speeds.

Then as I am about to walk away. I notice that where the lizard had fallen the sand had moved away to reveal… stone?… no it seems like some type of brick. Is this some type of ruin? 

The Arahas Desert is known for its ruins and all that, but I never really thought I would find one. I mean a person has to be pretty lucky to find one, and I NEVER count on things like luck... but I am not about to kick away a gift like this. Just hope that it at least has something valuable in it...

Immediately I serious… and used SHU on my sword to run NEN through it. 

*fwosh*

With some quick slashes I cleanly cut the stone on front of me 

*boom*

The stone fell and made some noise down below, so that means that there is a room in there. I use EN to sense any movements in there.  Since I used this time while fighting here in the desert to  learn advanced NEN techniques so I am pretty proficient in them.

Even though my talent is one in ten thousand using any of the advanced techniques takes a LOT of NEN from me. Though I still can use them in short intervals of time, like right now when I am using EN to sense any movements inside the room, and there are none. Damn... it really seems like an unexplored ruin. 

I then jump inside and when I look around there is only dust and darkness... that is until my eyes adjust to the darkness and with the help of the light coming from the hole… I notice some ancient drawings in the walls… in the beginning it looks like normal… humans fighting against huge beasts but then…

 I saw the drawing of a map on the wall and immediately like a lightning strike I understood what these drawings express… these drawings are about the… DARK CONTINENT…  

When I start inspecting them a little closer and paying more attention to them… they immediately start making more sense… they do talk of fighting some beasts but mostly what they talk about…  how to survive on the Dark Continent, the different ways on how to get food while you are there, farming methods, how to run away from certain monsters and how to counteract some of the dangerous monsters abilities…

Immediately after using my glasses and storing all of the data of these drawings that were in this type of underground temple that was probably buried by some natural catastrophe, I take out my sword and use SHU to run NEN through my sword and then I started scratching off all of the drawings… after all it is better to have a monopoly over something than let someone else use it.

...

After doing that I start hitting all of the weak points holding the underground temple together and then I go outside of it, this should make it more difficult for any NEN user with some type of rewind ability. It is unlikely for that to happen... but who knows really.

…

Then I reach inside my uniform and pull out an old style cubic phone that looks like a brick. I look at my phone and dial a number on it...

*piru* 

*piru* 

*piru*

I am just caling an airship to come and pick me up, I AM GOING BACK TO CIVILIZATION…

....

It is around forty five hours later that I notice the airship that came to take me away.

When I saw that the airship arrived... I can't help but somehow feel familiar with this ship...  they drop me a rope ladder. 

Oh, I remember now... it was the same airship that took me off the Valley of Death and brought me here. I immediately went towards the computer room and put in my Hunter card in the computer port, and then I entered the Hunter Website again, I immediately call Beans...

When I see his face he has a look of recognition on his eyes, he most likely remembers me from the last time and then without me saying anything he says…

"I can already guess what you are going to say from your location and we will still investigate the Desert but… you Jax Miller have achieved the rank of a one star hunter. Come to the Hunter Association Building and we will give you your new card."

I just seriously nod towards Beans, he just smiles at that.

"Well then goodbye Doctor Miller." Says the Beans... the bean like thing... I wonder what type of creature even is he? Maybe he is just some human born with a mutation.

And he closes off the chat, after that I immediately go towards a sleeping room on the airship, I take a shower and while I do that I also fill up a tub with warm water and lay in it.

Ahhhh this feels good…

Then while in the tub I summon my tablet in my hand and I immediately go towards my stats, time to upgrade.
