Nameless King

"Hmm, this bomb looks interesting, but there's no point in me buying it if I don't have a hundred extra souls. This bomb only costs so cheap because, without souls, it's just a shell that has no firepower." Said Wain.

Sven nodded, moved the bomb into the ring, and said, "Then I'm sure my second offer will suit you. For one Void Soul, I will activate your Seal of Darkness."

Wain raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't my seal already activated?"

Sven shook his head, "No. Right now, your seal is only working at half strength. You'll be able to enter the Void, but if your seal isn't activated, you'll have a very hard time knowing where the passageway is. After all, it would help if you first got into the space gap and then went through the door. If your seal is activated, you can understand where this place is if you are a few meters away. You will feel a special aura."

"I see, well then I want to trade my souls for one Void Soul and activate my seal," Wain said seriously.

He quickly made this decision since an activated seal would give him many possibilities. He could afford to spend a few hundred ant souls for the ability to pass in Voids. In his opinion, it was the right decision with an investment for the future.

Wain reached forward again, and he handed Sven all of his souls. This could be done by the power of thought, as the souls were stored as cards in his inventory.

Then Sven smiled, clenched his hand into a fist, and opened it. Wain saw a small, gray soul in the palm of Sven's hand. It looked like purgatory, with nothing but endless emptiness. It was one Void Soul, the currency of the World of Darkness.

Sven nodded and said, "To activate the seal, I will have to use a piece of the power of the World of Darkness, so my aura may seem terrifying to you."

Sven moved Void Soul into the ring and touched Wain's arm the next moment. Dark energy slowly began to emanate from Sven's body. His aura increased with each second, and Wain felt the whole bar shake in one moment.

The energy wasn't scary, but it was terrifying in its power. Wain, however, was not afraid. He had met the Guardian of this world before, and his aura was far more terrifying.

Then Sven's eyes turned black, and his hair seemed to come alive. The dark energy slowly made its way toward Wain. At that moment, the seal in his Soul Altar glowed brightly and then went out.

Sven came to his senses and calmly said, "All set."

Wain nodded. He looked around and realized that the place looked somehow different now.

'I see, so this is the energy of the World of Darkness. This is it. This is how I'll be able to figure out where the spatial rifts and entrances to the Void are.'

'Sven, I still have one last question. How do I get out of here, and can I get in again?"

"Now, you can find your own way out of here without any problems. Just study the aura around you. You will appear in the place you came from. But, sometimes, this rule doesn't work. It all depends on the zone. Wain, you can come back here and ask me something or buy something. But, it's not that easy to do. Here take this." Said Sven and tossed Wain a coin.

It was a black, small, round coin with the image of a tall glass with a star on top.

Wain looked at Sven, puzzled.

"This coin is something like a key to this bar. Without this coin, you can't get into this bar. Coins, amulets, or other things are usually only found in neutral areas like this bar. In vast Voids with crowds of monsters and natural cataclysms, you can't get into with a key, because it just doesn't exist. Of course, there are exceptions." Sven explained in detail.

"How do I get in here if I need it?" Asked Wain.

"It's not very easy. You can't come here at any time because you have to get into the spatial rift of the World of Darkness to get here. When you got here, you went through the dark door too, didn't you?" Sven asked.

Wain nodded.

"So, now if you get into the spatial rift again, there's a door to my bar. If you don't have that coin, the door won't appear. You can go into my space and then come back again and choose another door. So you don't have to be afraid to go into neutral areas first and then go into combat Voids." Said Sven.

​ "I see, then, see you later. Thanks for the drink." Said Wain calmly and headed for the exit of the bar.

As Sven said, he focused on the energy of the World of Darkness and realized which direction he needed to go. It was much easier than he thought.

Click.

The front door slammed shut, and Wain found himself outside the bar. At the same moment, Sven began breathing heavily and leaned on the bar with both hands. His whole body was shaking, and his back was drenched with cold sweat.

He muttered, "What kind of soul was that...? What had this man done to receive such a soul? What thoughts lurked in his mind...?"

...

When Wain walked out of the bar, he found himself back in the spatial rift. There were only two doors. One led back to the bar, and the other was the exit from the World of Darkness.

Wain went through the inky door again with a hundred eyes and found himself in the room where he killed Mimic.

Wain took a deep breath and said with relief, "Phew, that was too sudden. This world is similar to mine, but there are many differences here as well. The world of Darkness, Voids, Dungeons, and that's probably not all. This world is far more expansive than I could have imagined."

Then Wain headed for the exit. The corpses of the Demonic Ants in the main hall were still there. Wain walked calmly among the hundreds of bodies he had cut up. This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. Of course, he killed people, not ants, before. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive, as if now.

After a while, Wain reached the exit of the Dungeon. Unfortunately, because of the test of the World of Darkness, he did not receive his reward, and he even had to sell all his souls to Sven. But, Wain did not regret it.

'Hmm, I killed all the monsters. What happens to the Dungeon next? Will it disappear, or will it stay here forever?' thought Wain as he left the Dungeon.

Wain returned to the big store where this crypt appeared. Wain quickly went up to the top, looked around, and saw a strange sight.

There were more than fifty corpses of scout ants lying around. Moreover, there were human corpses next to the insect corpses.

"Hmm, there was also a battle here. It seems that while I was fighting inside, all the Scout Ants came out. However, no one from the Gisle group died. Only the people who were hiding here died." Wain muttered.

Wain was about to leave, but suddenly he saw an ant's head chained high to the wall with a long knife. Wain stepped closer and saw a simple note on the knife.

"Waiting at the university..." Wain muttered as he read the note.
