61 kraken's Domain 2

[3rd person POV]

"Here we go."

Before propelling himself through the water and into the portal's whirling depths, he thought to himself as he glanced at the huge portal in front of him.

Darkness covered him like a thick, inky curtain the moment he passed the portal, obliterating all traces of the world he had left behind. It was as if the ocean's depths had swallowed him whole, leaving him in a state of great confusion and uncertainty.

"That feeling again," Eden mumbled, placing his hand over his heart, his voice barely above a whisper in the perplexing nothingness that surrounded him.

As he passed through the portal, he couldn't help but notice the stirring of star energy within him, its essence vibrating ever so faintly.

It was a phenomenon that had always captivated and perplexed him because it only occurred in combination with the process of passing portals.

"Disturbance in space gives stars energy," Eden whispered confidently. He had cobbled together a remarkable correlation over time.

There was no disputing that when he went through portals and traveled through the disturbed space, the star energy within him surged, as if he had brushed up against the very fabric of the space.

However, one important issue persisted in eluding him, defying his attempts to find an answer: how did these disruptions in space offer him access to the star energy within?

Throwing his thoughts aside, he peered around but saw nothing. He didn't use mana sense because he was low on mana.

He took a radiant orb from the inventory of the system. The sphere surged to life as he activated it, enveloping his surroundings in a warm, comfortable light. The darkness that had encompassed him had now receded, pushed back by the orb's warm warmth.

Eden nudges the radiant ball to hover just above his head, producing a luminous aura that engulfs the dark chasm in its soothing radiance.

"Damn".

As he gazed around A long bridge stretched out before him, its stone surface sparkling in the orb's golden brightness.

The bridge's borders faded into the abyss below, where inky, dark waters extended indefinitely, concealing all manner of secrets, and the only thing that illuminated the water were the small lights that crackedled at various intervals.

He began to proceed forward onto the bridge, deeper into the center of the water-based dungeon, for he had nowhere else to go.

The deeper he moved, the more dangerous and weird the underwater world became. The only illumination in the dark abyss was the eerie blue glow of the lighting.

The water seemed to come alive with electric energy as Eden moved above the murky depths. It hissed and cracked, sending shivers down his spine.

He was now in the domain of the infamous electric eels, creatures capable of unleashing devastating electrical strikes with the flick of their serpentine bodies.

The dungeon's creatures follow a sophisticated cycle of life and evolution, a cycle that ensures the dungeon's tough and ever-adapting monsters' survival.

The secret to their transformation resided in a strange source of nourishment: the flesh and mana core of an awakened person or fellow monster.

The process was both severe and demanding. The energy and essence stored within the flesh and mana core powered a deep change when a monster chased and devoured the remains of an awakened individual.

The monster's talents would grow and become more powerful, allowing it to better adapt to its surroundings and prey with even greater efficiency.

The fact that they were meant to be fragile did not imply that they were.

Sure, they were simple in a 1-on-1, but not when more than 30 of them were coming at him at the same moment.

"Wings of the Phoenix,"

as he mumbled,

Flames burst from his back, surrounding him in a protective blaze. The scorching heat caused the electric eels to recoil.

Eden took advantage of the situation, flapping his wings and going upwards on the bridge, gaining a clear view of the entire area and the slippery eels.

"Fireball".

He mumbled, and as he did so, a ball of searing fire erupted in his hands, and he began to toss it at the eels, burning them as they tried to flee.

In a flaming explosion, he incinerated the surviving eels.

"Hah...hah..."

The bridge fell silent once more as the final electric eel succumbed to the fire. Eden prevailed, panting and drenched in sweat, his spear blazing with blood.

He'd won a battle against impractical odds, and the bridge was once again clear.

"I fucking hate this" .

He said out loud while slowly landing on the bridge,Even after months of training with Sylvia, he was struggling on the very first floor of the dungeon, which left him with a foul taste in his mouth.

"I need to think differently,"

He thought to himself as he sat on the bridge, because in his former life, all he had was a sword and a spear.

He was utterly unfamiliar with the notion of mana and aura, and as a result, he was completely ignoring it in his fight, making everything more difficult than it needed to be.

"I need to adapt to this world, huh?"

He mumbled as he gazed

His surroundings that is now strewn with bodies.

His previously clean trouser and naked upper body were now saturated with eel blood.

"If I don't adapt to fight with mana and aura, I can kiss my life good-bye" .

Eden stood up, resolved to tackle whatever obstacles were ahead.

Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
