Instead, we were descending into a lightless maze of concrete and damp earth. Havenfall above was all glass and silver, a testament to modern engineering. But this place—this was a wound. The air smelled of old grease, mold, and unwashed bodies. "The Undercity," Madeline explained, her voice echoing off the dripping walls. She didn't look disgusted; she looked proud. "The Cocolink hierarchy keeps things clean. The bottom-feeders, the debt-ridden, the collateral—they stay down here in the old foundations. The elites stay in the light. No friction, no messy run-ins. It’s organized."

Deep in the heart of an uncharted part of the world, where shadows danced with whispers and power held dominion over loyalty, a secretive compound thrived. It was a place no one stumbled upon by chance, a fortress cloaked in mist and guarded by legions of the unseen. Within its confines, a story was unfolding—a tale that would one day shake the balance of the underworld and the lives entangled in it.

“Underdenver isn’t just a hideout, a shelter that was later abandoned like Derinkuyu. Conspiracy enthusiasts on the surface talk about DUMBs—Deep Underground Military Bases—spanning miles, with maglev trains linking them to other secret sites. They say Denver’s airport, with its creepy murals and those endless barbed-wire fences, sits on top of a facility that makes Derinkuyu look like a kid’s fort. Modern tech could bore through granite in days, not decades. Plasma drills, AI-designed structural supports, self-healing concrete—stuff even the general public knows exists, never mind what’s locked away in DARPA’s vaults. If Derinkuyu’s ancients could ventilate a city for thousands with hand-du

​The air felt thick and smelled like sulfur and hot iron—the exact signs that came before the sky broke in her past life. ​She found the entrance to an underground warehouse hidden behind a concrete wall. It took thirty minutes of hard, painful work to force the rusted lock open with a crowbar. Her hands were covered in blisters, but she didn't stop. With a loud screech, the metal door gave way. ​Vivian turned on her flashlight. The beam hit rows of heavy crates sealed in thick plastic. She sliced one open with her knife. ​Inside were tons of survival food, water filters, solar radios, and boxes of ammo. A real bunker. Deep underground, completely safe from floods.

Maybe there were other small settlements trapped past the destroyed roads. Maybe some of them had tools, machines, or people who still had enough mind left to work if they were given water and food. The garbage sector was too big to assume the part she had seen was all there was. The book had ignored most of it because the original Vera had been too busy suffering to explore, but this Vera did not have that luxury. If a place could hide healing soil, worms, bandits, and old stores of useful scrap, then it could hide more. Her thoughts were interrupted when her receiver pinged.

Beyond them stretched an enormous underground city. Emma stared in disbelief. Rows of modern buildings stood beneath the earth. Vehicles. Generators. Warehouses. Computer servers. It was impossible. Liam whispered, "This isn't a bunker." "It's a city." Edward spread his arms proudly. "Welcome..." "...to New Foundation." Thousands of lights illuminated the underground complex. People walked through the streets. Scientists. Engineers. Armed guards. Families. Children. Emma felt her heart sink. "Children?" Edward nodded. "They know nothing about the world above."

Seraphina placed hers beside it. The stone began glowing. A deep sound echoed through the underground chamber. The door slowly opened. Cold air rushed through. Beyond it was a staircase descending into complete darkness. Aria looked down. "What's down there?" Gabriel answered: "The first city." THE CITY BELOW They descended. The staircase seemed endless. After several minutes, Aria saw light. They reached the bottom. She stopped. A massive underground city stretched before them. Ancient buildings lined empty streets. Stone towers disappeared into darkness.

Chapter 25 Humans have an intrinsic sharpness and astuteness, similar to a fox's cunning hidden beneath the innocent of flowers yet filled with lethal intents. Humans have been unaware of the existence of the underworld since the famed author, Ezra Waylen, revealed our presence to the world. This insight signaled the start of our war with humans, who had gotten stronger over time. The author, Ezra, had revealed to the human world a secret that had been kept and buried for thousands of years. Before this discovery, mankind used to read werewolf and vampire stories and literature.

"Elisa is with me, Antonio, she's right behind you." My heart pounded, I expected her to meet me inside the house, I knew she wouldn't be stopped. "Keep her safe, Matteo!" I stepped into the dark, narrow passage behind the bookshelf, my gun raised, the passage sloped down, into the cold, damp earth. I heard the muffled sounds of struggle ahea, Pyotr and his men were already moving, clearing the way. The passage opened into a vast, underground bunker, it looked like a high-tech command center, filled with blinking screens and maps, a stark contrast to the old stone of the villa above.

“While we’re on the topic, I’ll give you a bit of a history lesson on the place. See, many destructive incidents took place between heaven and earth thousands of years ago. Due to all the chaos, numerous civilizations slowly met their end, and the Shunzuog Civilization was no exception to that. With the eventual downfall of the Shunzuog Civilization, several of the civilization’s valuable treasures and its best features ended up disappearing for good.
