Kane suddenly opened his eyes and coughed violently to blew up a large area of ​​dry dust.

It was pitch black in front of him, but he thought he was not blind because he vaguely saw the outline of the blood and soil hanging on his eyelashes.

"Didn't I die in an earthquake? Where is this?"

He stumbled with his chapped lips, and the crying of adults and children echoed in his ears, which made people panic. He struggled to get up from the ground, but it caused a piercing pain and twisted in his chest.

"Hiss, it hurts so much, my head is bleeding, my lungs are…"

A dizziness came, as if a bomb was detonated in his ear, and his eardrums buzzed.

The memories left by this body began to merge, like a spoonful of sugar sprinkled into boiling water, thrown away by the boiling water flow, and finally was squeezed and melted by powerful external forces because of its incompatibility, creating an external soul.

A world that is both strange and familiar, a place of runes.

The most dangerous corner of Shurima, Ekasia.

The ignorant villagers have lived in this cruel desert for generations, and have not noticed that the danger has quietly spread to their feet.

There are countless void creatures hidden underground, carrying an insatiable hunger and are always ready to bring dissolution to all things.

The undercurrents deep underground are surging forever, and the scattered villages seem to exist on the hourglass. When the sand and gravel flow out of the huge mouth of the abyss that swallows everything below, no one can escape.

The end of time shouldn't have come so soon, but the child's unintentional pranks have caused destruction.

Kane, the original owner of this body, is at the most playful age of his life, only ten summers old.

If he was older, it would be easier to notice that unusual things were happening in the village - wandering strangers asked the villagers for tribute every day to sacrifice to the dark power underground.

The daylight in the desert is too hot, and Kane and the children in the village can only go out and play in the shade of the night.

That night, they met a clutch of goats bought from the nomadic tribe for sacrifice.

Driven by the inexplicable childlike thoughts, the girl who was walking with Kesha cut off the rope and let the animals go, showing off her exquisite daggers from this family to her friends.

Kane didn't stop him, and his attention was all on the dagger.

That was the birthday gift that Kesha's father gave her when she was eight years old. In this barren village with nothing, it would arouse envy of friends every time it was taken out.

But no one would have thought this would be the beginning of a nightmare.

When the crescent moon came, the cult saw that the sacrifice was not ready, and in rage, awakened the void and replaced the necessary sacrifice with a foolish life.

The earth began to tremble, and the scorching flash broke through the sky, and the children fled in panic. The bedrock of the earth cracked a deep valley, swallowing the entire village and all the villagers. Only the twisted stone pillars as dark as night were left, penetrating the yellow sand of the desert.

In the sinking of the ground, Kane fell to the ground and died. The alien soul who died of the earthquake occupied the still intact body.

"Now, my name is Kane. But..."

What Kane couldn't accept most was not coming to another world, nor becoming a ten-year-old child, but being involved in this lifeless thing and not even qualified to continue to live.

He played a passerby in this incident who didn't even have a name. Except for Keisha, everyone in the entire village was unable to survive in the end.

Survivors were buried in ruins and trapped underground, and their lives disappeared one after another within three days.

He was angry, why did he give him hope and let him despair again!

The bizarre impacts made his brain confused, and fear made him unable to move, but the remaining trace of reason made him seize a chance in the dark and then quickly calm down.

"Wait! Kesha... Kesha should be trapped underground too."

"Can you just follow her and survive?"

The life-saving straw seemed to be placed in front of me, but when Kane reached out to grab it, he hesitated.

"No, I can't do this! We have just fallen down for a while, and Kesha has not yet symbiosis with the void. My appearance may lead to a butterfly effect. If she can't live long, then I will..."

Kane temporarily gave up struggling and lay limply on the ruins to recover his strength.

He knew that the first three days after falling into the ground was at least safe, and those void monsters would not discover this place so quickly.

The crying that I couldn't understand just now began to become clearer.

"It hurts so much, help me! Help..."

"Mom, where are you? I'm so scared..."

“…”

Kane heard these crys of help and suddenly remembered his biological mother and father with this body, but he immediately forced himself not to think about these things and not torture his already fragile and almost collapsed spirit.

If you knew how cruel and desperate the underground world was, you wouldn't say anything about helping each other and living together.

There is no food here, only monsters, and ordinary people without special abilities can't last long.

In the end, they either starve to death or become the rations for monsters.

He cannot be bound by morality, righteousness and bloodline feelings, and must make the most rational decisions.

Don’t act! Don’t change anything!

A one-tenth of survival probability is already in front of you, and any action may be missed!

Only by resting quietly, restoring the wound and preserving physical strength can you have the strength to catch that trace of vitality in three days!

Although the thoughts in his heart were almost heartless, human nature still drove him to move. However, when he was about to faint from his chest when he stood up, he was finally able to give up this idea with a little comfort.

"Sorry, I want to save it, but my physical condition does not allow it..." Even breathing was painful, Kane had no choice but to talk to his conscience and closed his eyes again.

The survivor's cry for help still echoed in the darkness, Kane lay in the ruins waiting for him to get used to pain, and he looked like he was dead without saying a word.

He deeply remembered the powerlessness at this moment. The soul, who was originally unstrife with the world, had such a strong desire to become stronger for the first time. He was powerless to change his destiny at this moment. Only by becoming stronger can he control his destiny.

Under the cruel law of void, the weak can only survive if they become cold and kindness is the gift given by the strong.

"Is anyone? Can you answer me?"

Just as Kane was constantly comforting himself, the girl's sobs drifted into his ears. She was lying several names in her mouth, one of which was Kane.

With the familiarity in my memory, Kane confirmed that this girl was Keisha.

The gravel rubbed under the feet, and the girl's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Kane closed his eyes and refused to open it.

"Cain? Kane! Are you still alive?"

Kesha seemed to recognize her playmate, and she squatted down and stretched out her dirty hand to press Kane's face, shaking his head back and forth with a gentle thrust.

But Kane held his breath and didn't even dare to let out his breath. His "death" made Kaye fall into despair and fear again.

He couldn't let her find herself alive, at least not now.

Kaisha has to face everything alone to complete symbiosis and have the capital to survive here. She must be tenacious in desperate situations, and no matter how weak she is, she cannot complete her transformation.

"Woooo, you guys talk, I'm so scared by myself!"

"what do I do……"
