LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 393 392: Selene (Sixth Bonus Chapter)
393 392: Selene (Sixth Bonus Chapter)
"Hmm, she's was also teleported to this place?"
Corey mumbled in surprise as he looked in the direction of the connection he felt with Selene. The connection was faint and he knew that if he went back up the mountain he would not be able to sense her at all.
He also knew that Selene could also perceive him.
"Hmm."
Corey stroked his chin with a pondering expression for a moment, and then he kept on going down the mountain.
"Although where she's located is not in the direction of the infinity crystal, it would be nice to have a teammate in case I ever need help."
Corey nonchalantly shrugged, and then he increased his speed of descent down the mountain. Another thing he could sense through his connection was that Selene was in combat.
"I guess I should hurry in case something unexpected happens."
----
Meanwhile, approximately ten kilometers away from Corey's position was Selene who was in combat with numerous monsters that resembled mountain goats, but the difference between these monsters and mountain goats was not little at all.
These monsters stood at nearly seven feet tall, their furs were thick and matted, blending perfectly with the rocky terrain. Their twisted horns were longer and sharper than any natural goat's, spiraling in jagged arcs that shimmered faintly with an eerie metallic sheen.
Their cold blue eyes showed signs of an intelligence and malice that normal mountain goats should never have.
Their hooves, while cloven, were reinforced with dark, stone-like ridges, allowing it to move silently across even the most treacherous mountain ledges. Spiked ridges ran down their spines, and their elongated, muscular limbs suggested immense strength.
Beneath their thick coat of fur, patches of rough, stone-like skin could be seen, making it seem like the beasts have been fused with the mountain itself.
When Selene first appeared in the Dimension of The Old Ones, she instantly fainted due to the immense strain that was put on her mind and body due to the extremely long and powerful teleportation from the Amphitheatre of the Underworld.
This was the case for a lot of people, especially those who did not have a high spatial talent or spatial affinity.
After waking up, she found herself in an empty cave. At first she was confused and disorientated, the holographic image of The Clown appeared in front of her.
After hearing the words of The Clown, she was no longer confused and knew what she had to do.
Find an ancient stone as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, there was no ancient stone in the cave she was in, however and fortunately for her, there was also no monster inside the cave, so she left the cave.
After leaving the cave, she didn't know what to expect from a shattered dimension called The Dimension of The Old Ones, however, she was expecting it to be… fun or at least interesting?
She knew it was a strange thought, but the prospect of seeing another world that was not the Underworld intrigued her.
For all her life, she had lived in the Underworld. She was born in the Underworld and grew up in the Underworld. The Underworld was all that she knew, but her father always told her when she was little that there was a world outside of the Underworld, and that the Underworld was not everything.
Her father always told of a world filled with large bodies of water, mountains, large green fields, animals running about, immense droplets of water falling from the sky called rain, an actual sun, a moon, a sky filled with actual clouds, earthquakes, tsunamis, and so on.
Her father always told her of all these things when she was younger, and she always enjoyed them. However, as she grew up, everything her father told her were just imaginations she struggled to keep in her mind.
They were like fantasy to her.
A part of her wanted to see and experience the outside world. She wanted to see large bodies of water where one could swim and where one could see a lot of creatures in them. She wanted to feel the rain. She wanted to see the real sky. She wanted to see large green fields with trees and plants, and animals running about.
She wanted to see a world where one did not have to fight constantly.
She actually wanted to see these things, however, the Underworld did not have all of these.
What the Underworld had, was all that she knew.
But when it seemed like she was most likely going to die with the fantasy world her father had described to her, The Clown came.
Instead of the normal Amphitheatre games that usually occurred in the Underworld, The Clown introduced new games, and some of these new games had some of the traits of the fantasy world her father had told her about.
For example, the death race, and now, the Battle of Chosens which was occurring in shattered dimension which almost like another world.
Or to be precise, it was another world to those who were born and had lived their entire lives in the Underworld.
Selene and some other residents of the Underworld who were participants of the Battle of Chosen were actually excited and also anxious about being in another world.
It was their opportunity to see something different, to experience something different, and a part of them were actually grateful and thankful to The Clown for the opportunity he had given them. To them, he was much better than the previous Director of The Underworld.
The same was true for Selene who had been told stories of a different world by her father.
Meanwhile, if The Clown knew of the thoughts some of the Underworld residents had towards him, he would laugh loudly.
Why?
Because that wasn't part of his plans at all.
Meanwhile, after Selene left the cave with a slightly excited heart due to prospect of experiencing a new world, she was immediately awed by the presence of the countless number of mountains around her.
She had seen mountains before, but not mountains that were this high and large. She was extremely curious about all of the mountains, and a part of her wanted to climb the tallest mountain she could see, but she knew that would be foolish.
Regardless of her what her heart wanted, she knew that she had to find an ancient stone or a settlement with an ancient stone.
However, she did not know where to go.

[A/N: This is an unedited chapter. No light to edit it before my laptop dies.]
Hello everybody, sorry for not posting for so long. There was no light and I was planning on uploading five chapters at once, but they took the light when I was on three.
Regardless, I want to give a big and massive thank you to every single person that donated gifts to my book, especially Ryan_Houtz who dropped two magic castles.
I'm extremely grateful. So, so, so, so grateful to all of you. I was not sure if I'd even receive a single response even with what I wrote since I know everybody already have a lot to do with their lives and nobody is obligated to help, so you don't know how shocked and surprised I was when I woke up to two magic castles and other gifts.
I don't need any other gift since two magic castles is equal to $200, which means I would get $50 from it after Webnovel takes their cut. Although, if any other person wants to still give gifts, I still appreciate it and I'd be very grateful.
Because of the massive help @ Ryan_Houtz gave me, I've decided to create a character for him and put him in my novel. He should appear in the Dimension of The Old Ones. [God help my creativity.]
Also, there would be no more bonus chapters until further notice since I have like 12, 13, or 14 bonus chapters I'm meant to give out. You guys really exceeded my expectations, and I'm shedding both tears of joy and sleepless nights over here.
But on a more serious note, thank you so much everybody. I really love you guys, and I also want to do my part by writing good and banger chapters from now on.
