It turns out that a long time ago; the whole universe was in perfect peace and harmony. All existing planets in the universe were governed under the rule of the Starry Sky royal family. As it was rumored that they’ve been blessed by the dragon lord, the Starry Sky royal family were the most powerful people in the universe. Their strength was boisterous enough to wipe out a whole planet. And the fact that all the descendants of the royal family are naturally born with a dragon as their soul beast puts them up in high regard. However, such a powerful strength also came with a huge cost. At first it wasn’t known to them. It wasn’t until the royal family began to notice a drastic decline in their fertility rate. No matter how hard they try to breed offspring, their numbers just kept declining. At the end of the day, every generation of the royal family ended up having one descendant during their lifetime. This was the huge sacrifice the royal family paid in exchange for their strength. Yet with that, they still stood on the summit, overseeing the affairs of all planets in the universe. Starry Sky planet was the paradise for every human back then. But everything changed on a certain gloomy morning. The planet was washed down by a rainfall. The rain falling that morning was just like other normal rainfall. Everyone went out, starting on their normal bustling day. But suddenly, everything went awry in a matter of seconds. All humans that were touched by the drops of rainfall suddenly became crazy. The animals weren't left out of the changes. Grasses grew up to the height of a tall trees within seconds. The ants on the floor began to enlarge like crazily, becoming a gigantic monster that caused terror on land. “It was really a bad tragedy on that day. Everything seems to have erupted in a matter of seconds, giving no one the time to react. Before the Royal family could make their move, it was already too late as the whole planet was already invaded by these man-eating monsters.” Ian was surprised to hear that Starry Sky planet hold such a huge prestige back in the past. Then how did they fall to such a backward state.“That rain, where did it come from?” Sylvia asked. “Well, that’s still a question puzzling many researchers’ mind. However, it's believed that the source of the rain came directly from the Abyss itself. The Abyss is an unknown place located at the end of the universe. It is rumored to be filled with many dangerous encounters, and the outcome for anyone who ventured into the Abyss is death. Seeing the big chaos, the emperor began to evacuate the citizens down to a safe place. A research organization was then established, where me and my students were made to carry out research to eradicate the beasts terrorizing the planets. The giant humanoid robot you saw in that room down floor is called a Mecha. It’s one of the cold weapons developed by me and my teams to battle against the Abyssal devils.” “Then why did the Starry Sky planet fall if you guys have such a powerful weapon in your hands?” Ian face twinge with pain as he asked this question. As the crown prince, how could he not be troubled by the downfall of his planet. “That...” Yatran sighed. “We made a big mistake.” “What do you mean by that?” Ian was puzzled by the reply. “Actually, the rain that fell on that day was never hailed from the abyss. I only found this out during the dire moment of my time. That rainfall...” Yatran looked at Ian with a serious expression as he spoke. “...is the-- Ahhh!!” A heart wrenching scream gushed out of his mouth. Ian jumped backward, startled by Yatran scream. “Ahhh! Ahhh!” Yatran clutched his head in his palm as he screamed out loud. Veins could be seen popping out of his forehead, showing the intense of the agony he was in. “Yatran! What's wrong with you?” Ian was both scared and worried at the same time. Just when he was about to reach out to Yatran to check on him, Sylvia suddenly grabbed his hand. “Run!” Not waiting for his reaction, Sylvia dragged him and sprinted away from the spot. “Don't leave. Please save me, your highness. I don't want to die.” Yatran shouted out in agony.Sylvia noticed that Ian was about to let go of her hand and immediately tightened her grip. “What are you doing? We can’t just leave him like this.” Ian was disturbed by Sylvia cold behavior. How could she abandon Yatran without any hesitation. He felt like the girl before him was cold and unfeeling, which upsets him further. But before he could say anything, a low eerie voice resounded through the whole room. “Ha-ha-ha.” Ian body trembled subconsciously. “Who could have thought that there’s still a survivor hanging here alive. I've been staying in this place for a very long time but yet, I never detected your existence. I must say, you're definitely good at hiding.” The voice said with a chill. Its vocal sound was just like the mixture of a male and female voice. “Who the hell are you?! You coward, come out here right now! Who the hell are you playing a game of hide and seek for. Come out here and face me, you coward.” Yatran roared out amidst the terrible pain. “Shouldn’t we head for the exit door.” Ian noticed they were running deeper inside instead of heading for the exit. “Shh, do not talk.” Sylvia turned around and immediately covered his mouth. Ian’s eyes widened, seeing Sylvia up close to him. There, he noticed several drops of sweat dripping off her forehead. Since they hadn’t run that far, Ian knew that the sweat wasn't from her chase. Could it be that she’s afraid? That's right, Sylvia was definitely afraid. Even without Susu explanation, she could tell that the existence inside the room was a dangerous one. Every inch of hair on her skin stood on end. She had never felt a huge fear like this in her entire life. Not even when she was facing the wormhole. Just what kind of existence was behind them. “Who am I?” The eerie voice laughed out loud. “Ha-ha-ha-ha. So many people have termed me with different names. Be it devil, monster, demon, beast and whatever evil names you can name of. But you know what, this is the first time someone will refer to me as coward.”“Ahhh!” Yatran continues to scream. “Follow me quietly and do not speak a word.” Sylvia whisper into Ian's ear before letting him go. The exit entrance was a no-go area since that would be their demise if they try to head that way. Hence, they could only try their luck by heading deeper. “Since you want to see me that badly, then I'll reveal myself to you.” Yatran eyes widen in recognition the moment he saw the red core floating in front of him. “Surprise, isn't it. Now that I've answered your request, it's time for me to do my bid.” Cloud of red mist instantly swept towards Yatran, sweeping him over like a tidal wave. Yatran heart wrenching scream became louder until it finally recedes. “Tut, what a little amount of energy. Well, since it's just a soul, such little amount of energy is somewhat expected.” The poor Yatran had already been devoured by the glutinous monster. “Well, well. Why don't we move to the next course of the meal.” Hearing that statement, Ian whole body tremble with fear. “I know you two are here somewhere. So come out now while I'm being nice. Perhaps, I can give you a peaceful death.” Sylvia had a worried expression on her face as she hid in a corner along with Ian. 'What do you think? Can you defeat it?' She asked Susu. [It should be of the same existence as me since it has the ability to absorb energy. I do have a plan to defeat it but the percentage of defeating it is 80 to 20 percent chance.] '80 percent chance, that's great.' [No host.] Susu knew that Sylvia must have misunderstood him and immediately clarify. [I mean to say that we're the twenty percent, while our enemy is the 80% For me not to have detected its existence probably means that it's stronger than me.]Sylvia expression fell the moment she heard Susu sentence. Is this the end for them. “Since you both want to play hide and seek with me, how about I make the chase more exciting for you.” As soon as the voice ended, the whole building began to tremble.
