The Ra Cultists

Chills ran through the entire convocation hall. Oddly enough the second years were practically overcome with intense bloodlust. You could see them making creepy smiles and giving each other psychotic looks.

This tension was soon broken by the teachers who walked up to the stage. They projected some intel, like maps and profiles and whatnot, etc.

"Alright guys, we know what these cultists have been up to. Intel suggests that there is something underneath this city that they want up. And they will decimate the city in order to do it. We don't know what it is but we have to stop them." This went on for about an hour it was boring and didn't concern half of us.

Except for the 2nd year's Of course they were becoming more and more rabid as time passed. One could feel their own sanity leaving their mind after looking at them they were like hounds.

"These guys are like brainwashed or something" some classmates murmured.

At some point, the headmaster showed up at the convocation hall. Drenched in blood.Fresh blood. Still dripping and leaving marks as he walked up to the stage"Folks this is it this is your time to shine. This is what training has been for. Who wants to attend boring lectures instead of going out there and tearing the cultists apart? Now it took me a lot of effort to convince the officials to stand down and let us handle this situation. Don't you guys dare disappoint. I will be there with you to help and guide you and so will the teachers. Do a great job and see you on the field" Another little prep talk by the headmaster filled with enthusiasm and charisma.

I absolutely love him the headmaster I mean. Everyone loves him. It's obvious why. it's because we are all hunters. Why would you not? I see why he is the headmaster as young as he might be. He is crazy. We are all crazy.

"Yo Redie wanna tag along with me," asked Rudy

"Absolutely, why not? it will be fun" I replied.

{few hours later}; from atop a random floor of a skyscraper;

"Whoa look at that dude fly" Rudy pointed fingers chuckling.

"You mean getting utterly rag-dolled. Man, these ra cultists are no match for us. They being annihilated"

Just as we exchanged remarks while drinking soda another body splattered up in front of the glass which completely blocked our view. It stuck there for a while and then slipped down.

"Damn, they sent this one sky high huh, "I remarked.

"let's switch places can't see from here anymore," said Rudy unable to look past the bloodstained glass.

The other civilians on the same floor as us saw us as crazy madmen. You could see it in their eyes. All of them were taking cover under the table and stuff.

"Just wait and see how this situation devolves into a political one" sighed Rudy

"Yeah, so what exactly is your story? I mean You and your sister u really fucking hate that guy" I inquire as we moved a floor down for a better view.

"The fight here is almost finished. This was a one-sided beatdown...Our seniors are powerful. Also, I guess you will see why we hate him so much eventually red-hair."

"It's Deos. my name" I speak following Rudy.

*dhrun**dhrun**dhrun*

The building shook like crazy. Tremors ran around this southern block of this city. And something began rising and began emerging tearing through the ground. a dungeon?a labyrinth? a what?

A humungous pyramid-like structure sprouting up from the ground. So large it covered 1/7th of the entire city.

It decimated all that was above it. Our building too was above it.

"What the fuck have these cultists have been up to?" Rudy shouted as we ran toward the rooftop.

"Just fucking run" I shout back. The entire building shook violently as it tilted in towards the black and gold pyramid that slowly arose.

We were lucky we were close to the roof. We got there and jumped onto the pyramid which was rather close to us. But we still didn't avoid damage.

"Alive?" I shouted.

"yes" Came a reply.

And the rubble started rolling we did our best to avoid it. I fell into the pyramid air vent separated from Rudy. I was sliding for minutes before I hit the ground. The landing wasn't exactly graceful.

"Ugh* should have stayed back...my legs are fucked..am losing..."

***

Where am I? The afterlife? Is this Egyptian heaven? should it not be Wheatfield? why is it a fucking rice field? It's a rice field as far as I can see It's so boring here. I don't even get judged? Fuck this!

***

I awoke with a jerk. I looked around and I found myself on an altar in a very small room. Hands bandaged together.

"Was I being mummified?"

There seemed to have been only one other guy in the room besides me. And he went to sleep as soon as I woke up. Surprised and scared to see me get up. The only other thing in there was a human-sized mirror.

Another man entered the room shivering after landing his eyes on me.

"Boo" I attempt to scare him.

"AAAAAAAAarRRrgrhhhhh" The attempt succeeded as he falls back and fades to black with his pants and eyes wet.

I tore away the old bandages the first thing as I got back onto my feet without any effort whatsoever. The bandages were almost as old as the pyramid Itself. 

I also noticed my legs had been healed but it wasn't important. Getting out was.

I took a look in the mirror just to calm my paranoia to check whether my body was human and my organs in place.

Not only was my body still covered in bandages. Dint remove all of it after all i would be naked without. Beneath the bandages, I was tattooed. They had drawn some ancient writing on my left side. there was a black circle on the middle of my chest and they also did the eye work as the pharaohs wore.

"These tattoos don't look bad at all tho. I look hot!"

I could stare at myself all day in that mirror but I decided to move on. There were tattoos everywhere above my waist but I didn't have time to admire each and every one.

I kept moving through the passages.

[Alert] A warning popped up on my integ system. It warned me about traps in the hallways.

I wondered whether It could do that. Then I recalled the fateful accident and how it could do anything ever since.

Although the system showed me how to avoid the traps. It was not easy to do so even with the help of my new assistant.

"All that training Lexny's father made me do is now coming in handy."

I wandered the dark death-filled passages with hunger and thirst. I walk still half mummified.

On my way, I came across a large chamber.

"It is like a pharaoh's courtroom."

A throne up the stairs.Two glass pillars with some shining blue liquid flowing through them. It was a bit simple looking in design paintings no writings, it's odd as the Egyptians really loved art and architecture. Just plain copper-bronze color to the entire room with a few gold embroideries. And just what is flowing through these columns. I decided not to mess around here and move on. I could hear fighting and unrest in the halls.

*thump*

A body flew past me with great velocity and splattered on the wall behind me. I trailed up to see piles of bodies in the middle of the hall. Some thrust into the ceiling some into the ground. And in the middle of that blood-filled passageway, There was an old man. Drenched in blood.

Blood was dripping from the ceiling in this hall as water drips in a stalagmite cave. No, it was leaking like an old run-down apartment that had a major leakage issue due to pipes rusting away and bursting. The old man was wearing nothing but brownish-yellow pants. Rather muscular to be an oldie.His aged hair completely covered his eyes the complete face nose up covered.

"Are you the boy they kidnapped?" he questions in a somewhat threatening tone. Seemed he knew about the tattoos.

He didn't wait for my answer.

"Take one of these fuckers' clothes...Just take the robe I doubt they wear anything underneath. Bunch of perverts they are I tell you" he said scratching the back of his head."Am too old for this. I just wanna relax. At least I am free now."

The rest of the hunters stormed the place soon enough.

I was wearing enough bandages to not need to put on the robe. Also, they might misunderstand and kill me at sight and I could not afford that. I mean...they are hunters.

*thurg*there was a loud noise. It only multiplied with time until it stopped and started to fire off a different kind of mechanical noise. My integ Somehow knew what was happening. Hall started breaking down and turning and twisting.

Rearranging itself almost. Like an ever-shifting maze. The integ system at once shot a prompt to go run up the wall and c'mon it had been long enough to know that the corrupted or hacked integ system that I had could do things and therefore without a second thought I obeyed.

The entire block of the hallway rolls over. The wall I dashed towards became the floor and the ceiling became the wall and then the ceiling became the floor. Little difference tho it made it was still about the same amount of bodies logged in.
