64 Chapter 17: The Theurgist 3 (2/2)

I want to see it for myself first...

What other things this 'rot' can do...

How it can infect a person...

And everything else that is related to this phenomenon, because as far as I can understand— the rot seems to be significant with how this continent hold the Prophecy.

Ah! That's it. I'll start with this lead!

I'll see what I can learn about the rot, it's origin and it's very nature, then along the way, I'll learn to control my own powers.

And maybe find a way to stop the rot...

...maybe, there's still hope for me.

Maybe, I can still come home and live with my family, my friends, everybody...

That is if they're still willing to welcome me back.

”Yo!” Jin shakes my shoulder. ”Are ya still there?”

”What is it?” I halted and looked at him. He pointed ahead.

A solitary double door is seen barred and all bolted up with locks and enchantments.

”The miasma is so thick around that door. It's almost covering the view of the door itself.” Jin explained, taking his mask off and handed it over to me. ”Check it out!”

I wore his mask on and looked at what's ahead of us. True enough, I almost can't see the door anymore. It's being covered by the thick screen of dark grayish-violet clouds or fog-like things which Jin refers to as miasma.

I took his mask off and everything seem normal in plain eyes. I'm honestly amaze at what their mask can do.

We began to walk forward.

Soon, we stood before it.

I took a deep breath to somewhat brace myself. And oddly, my heart began to pump fast.

Not out of nerves or dread. I actually feel... refreshed. Like I just woke up from a great nap, drowned myself with coffee, and ready to run a marathon.

My senses are alive, awake and ringing all over.

I watch Jin kick the door open.
