Chapter 1: Prologue (1/2)
”Yes! I finally managed to obtain it!” A person with a hoarse voice exclaimed full of exhaustion.
He looked haggard with a face full of wrinkles yet young at the same time like a youth who has aged much. His hair was white while his nose sharp and his lips dried.
'It's been 10 years since I, Tian Long managed to obtain the Death Note, I have only used it to kill my one and only enemy back then and I haven't used it since then.' he sighed feeling the passage of time.
Walking out of the cave, he proceeded to get off the mountains to go to the airport.
'It's time to go back to my homeland to pull off this crazy idea that has been gnawing at my heart since 8 years ago!'
After arriving at the airport, Tian Long boarded the airplane and returned to China.
After going to his home, he started having second thoughts about his plan at the last minute.
'Eyyy, it's do or die. I don't have much of a choice.'
'Hmm, I don't have much time to live in this world anyways.' Tian Long comforted himself.
He packed his things and went out of the house.
”Alright, it's time to leave this world.” Silently muttering that, Tian Long left for the place ancient temple that has many rumours including that it's connected to another world.
'Honestly, my chances of crossing over are pretty low, way low.'
'I only thought of this idea because having only few more years left to live makes me feel useless and empty, I want to live more.'
After arriving at the ancient temple, he searched the whole day for any unusual signs.
”This place is pretty abandoned yet it's kept clean, why is that?” Tian Long muttered.
After seeing that he hasn't found anything for today, Tian Long decided to sleep.
Just as he was sleeping in his tent, a sound startled him awake.
”Who's there!?” Tian Long shouted.
”Whoa! Don't startle me old man” The young man exclaimed.
Hearing that he was called old man, Tian Long's eyes started twitching.
”Who are you little man?” Tian Long asked even though he knew the answer.
”Me? I'm Xiao Yi”
”Why are you here?”
”I'm hired by the nearby temple to clean this place every week and patrol once in a while”
Hearing that, Tian Long was astonished.
”Wasn't this place abandoned?”
”Yeah, it was but it's now the property of the nearby temple. They bought it a month ago.”
”Oh, I See.” Tian Long said.
”Now that you understand that it's a private property, shouldn't you be leaving?” Xiao Yi asked.
”Uhh, yeah once it's dawn I'll leave, It's pretty late right now”
”Reasonable, I don't want you camping out here tomorrow old man, just leave”
”Alright”
Then Xiao Yi left the ancient temple.
'Still, what is he doing here at night? Does he have a rendezvous with a woman or something?' Tian Long chuckled.
'Looks like I don't have any time left to sleep, this old body of mine can't take this anymore!' shouting in his mind Tian Long started searching the place again.
Switching on the torch light, Tian Long started looking around for any kind of unusual signs in the place he hasn't searched yet.
An hour has passed since he continued his search.
Moving around Tian Long entered a room, he came in front of a wall and started tapping around.
*tok tok*
*tok tok*
*tok tok* A muffled kind of sound echoed across the room.
”Yes! found it”
He pushed that certain part of the wall which created the muffled sound.
An underground door opened in the room which made Tian Long check it immediately, he checked for some traps for some time. He couldn't find any which made him feel a bit better.
Tian Long started moving down the underground door. He climbed down a lot of stairs and arrived in front of a iron door.
Tian Long stared at the switch right beside the iron door and pulled it down.
The iron door opened up and Tian Long entered the underground area.
Tian Long gasped in astonishment as he saw the unknown formation. The outer circle was spherical in shape while the inner circle was oval in shape with an eye in it.
”Oh, this must be the formation which makes this place unusual”
Tian Long walked towards the formation and arrived at the centre of the formation.
”That's a creepy looking eye alright, I should probably be in the centre of this formation to increase my chances.”
Tian Long took out a stone which emitted a faint green and purplish light.
”The transmigration stone” Tian Long's eyes shone brightly.
”If the nearby temple people knew if that I had the stone would they become mad?” Tian Long laughed loudly.
