Their skins turning pale, their bodies having sparse flesh atop its skeletal framework and veins turning black making them look more or like zombies. The remaining four had to find a cure for this ailment, "Black Death"; they called it, Kimora was created by them, it came with a price, killing everyone with dark matter and three of the elders died in the process, Kimora was so powerful it did the job but a little too well having a mind of its own the last Elder saw this as a threat had the Kimora gotten rid of and he vanished not to be seen again.

"Walk there and try to find something useful." The skeleton nodded and started to pick up random stuff like bricks, broken windows, frozen wood, a couple of destroyed doors. David got bored quickly and jokingly requested in the help tab to be able to access the internet. Surprisingly they approved it. A new tab appeared called [AFK], where he could at least watch some videos, check his social network, and chat with Kevin when he was freer. An hour later, David paused the video about some old stuff about RuneScape and saw in delight that his skeleton found something useful: a hammer, an ugly and shabby hammer, but a hammer nonetheless.

Not too long later, Damian announced that he had stumbled upon the boss dungeon’s entrance. “If it looks like a grand gate three times my height, full of bones. I assume I found the right place,” he reported dryly. “Should we attempt this raid?” Zen weighed his options. There was only one altar left to find. Surprisingly, the skeletons were weak to holy magic. Zen did not need to cast a high-tier purification spell to reduce the skeleton army into a pile of bones. The Skeleton Knight must have some holy magic resistance, explaining the battle’s difficulty. “Not so fast,” Jessica replied to the chat. “My slimes just found two more rooms. One has an altar, and the other contains a loot chest.”

As usual, we lay in the same bed, disconnected. When 1:00 am rolled around, I awoke once again. Turning to the side, I noticed that Zane was gone. He must have gone to the basement to "exercise" again. Then, I glanced at my wrist. There was a golden handcuff around it. However, this time, I was better prepared. I took out the universal key that I had obtained in advance. After listening closely to hear if there was any noise outside, I gently unlocked the handcuff.

They stepped inside, holding up their torchlights, only to be met with a room filled with garbage. The stench was unbearable, thick and suffocating. Amidst the filth lay a worn-out, grimy mat—it had been my bed. The only possession I had was a tattered doll I'd brought from home. The doll stood out in the squalor. Its age was apparent; the fabric was faded and patched in several places. Yet, it was clear the doll had once been cherished, lovingly repaired by its owner.

James drew reassurance from those words. As Zeno said, even if the skeleton turned out to be the remains of an extraterrestrial demon, the two of them were more than capable of subduing it. While James observed the skeleton, several lines of inscriptions hidden deep in his eyes started glowing slightly. With the powers of the Dobro Eyes, James spotted numerous faint inscriptions surrounding the skeleton. Those inscriptions were skillfully hidden in the space around the skeleton and were barely detectable. After James activated the Dobro Eyes, he could see where each of the inscriptions was positioned. Also, he noticed that the inscriptions were of obscure, ancient origins.

[Ezra] “And at last…” I mumbled, staring at the building that was structured like a giant skull with two hollow eyes acting like the only two windows and a wide open jaw as its entrance. Chiseled into the giant skull’s forehead were words that seemed to leer at passersby— Bone Voyage: Alive skeletons at your service since the first death in the wheel of time.

We both knew it wasn’t just data; it was an opening. Back in our room, Roe’s secure line was already pinging. Damon sent her the image. Her reply came five minutes later. “It’s a key fragment, not a tracker. Links to a dead account in Zurich. Possibly a lure.” Damon exhaled. “He wants us to chase it.” I said, “And you want to?” He looked at me briefly. “Yes. But not yet.” His hand brushed mine, grounding. “We play it right, he reveals the rest.”

It was an act of emotional violence in the middle of a void, a statement that even here, at the bottom of the world, she was his. They reached the base of the tower—the bedrock foundation where the primary power conduits were anchored. This was the basement of the Trust’s soul, a forest of thick, vibrating cables and humming transformers. Dante led her to a central terminal, his hand never leaving hers. He produced a small, silver device—a "Ghost Key" he had spent years crafting in the basalt mansion. He didn't hack the system; he spoke to it. "This is the heart of the Zero Point," Dante said, his voice cold and crystalline. "It’s what keeps the data from being corrupted by the mountain’s ma
