Pharaoh

The young girl flushed her fair face, she held her breath and bit her lips desperately, the vermilion lips had almost been bitten deeply.

She raised her head, her only big one eye was wide open to the limit, and the pupil was full of fear.

Her emerald-colored pupils were slightly wet with mist, but she forcefully pressed them into the eye sockets.

The girl looked at the top of her head, but she couldn't see the endless blue sky, but a black patch instead.

The heavy, dark and rocky ceiling seemed to be pressing down on her bit by bit, making her limbs weaker and dizzier——

Drenched in cold sweat and almost drenched, the hair was scattered messily and pasted on the girl's dusty face, which made the originally good-looking girl look even more embarrassed.

Under the empty legs swaying in mid-air, the endless black abyss is like a monster with its huge mouth wide open, grinning and waiting to devour everything about her.

Her hands firmly grasped the protruding black rock.

The pitch-black rock that protruded halfway in the air seemed to be on the verge of collapse, shaking unsteadily, and the sand and stone leaking from its loose place rolled down with a rustling sound, constantly hitting the girl's face.

There was no sound in the dead land, so in the girl's ears, the voice that brought her into death seemed even more terrifying and hideous.

Her shoulders were tense to the point of convulsions.

Bleeding from her lips.

Her ten fingers dug deeply into the crevices of the stone, and the blood seeping out dyed the sand a strange black-red hue.

She looked desperately at the pitch-black sky, and could almost feel the tension in her hands until the bottom line began to twitch.

A click.

The pitch-black rock protruding halfway from the edge of the cliff finally shattered under the weight.

The girl's blood-stained fingers fell off from the cracked stone.

The icy cold wind that surged from bottom to top from the bottomless valley caused her scattered long brown hair to fly upwards over her despairing cheeks.

She's lost all hope—

A golden flash flashed in the depths of the girl's desperate pupils.

The white-skinned hand that protruded from the darkness as if out of nothing grabbed the girl's slender wrist.

The girl's body swayed dangerously in the air for a while, then stopped in mid-air again.

She raised her head in surprise and looked up, because her eyes lost focus due to excessive fright, and she couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person above who grabbed her at the moment of her despair.

All she could see was the golden ring that became purer in the darkness, swaying above her upturned face, flashing a flash of light in the depths of her pupils.

The light she saw again after being in the dark for so long...

It was like a twinkle of hope.

……

A slender girl with long light brown hair sat kneeling on the ground full of gravel, her hair was disheveled by the cold sweat and scattered around her cheeks.

She lowered her head and gasped in embarrassment, her shoulders were still tense and did not relax, her hand tendons that were on the verge of collapse were still twitching slightly at this moment, and her hands were shaking violently.

Her pupils were still dilated, her tinnitus was also very loud, and she hadn't recovered from the fear of death.

A jug with the lid thoughtfully unscrewed was handed to the brown-haired girl.

The moist breath coming out of the mouth of the pot made the girl feel the thirst that could no longer be suppressed suddenly popping up in her throat.

She grabbed the kettle and poured it vigorously, as if she wanted to vent all her fears, letting the water splash on her face and wet her hair and clothes.

The clear water washed her dusty cheeks, making her face look ugly with white and black.

It wasn't until the water in the kettle was poured that she licked the corners of her lips, let out a long breath, and immediately relaxed and sat on the ground without moving.

The white hand that handed over the kettle stretched out again, and this time it was a small doughnut that was delivered to the girl.

The girl was still in a trance, but she took it reflexively and took a bite before reacting.

She raised her head suddenly, but almost bumped into the tip of the nose of the man who looked down at her because of worry and was very close to her.

Fortunately, the man raised his head so quickly that he didn't bump into her suddenly raised forehead.

Then, the man stepped back a little, lowered his head and smiled at the corner of her lips.

It was a fair face of a boy who was about her age, and fine golden hair fell on the boy's cheeks.

When the boy smiled at her, his violet-toned eyes curved into crescent moons, and his soft smile made people feel a little more approachable.

The pure gold ring she had seen that was as bright as the boy's hair was tied around the boy's neck by a thin rope.

The girl's face suddenly turned red, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Perhaps it was because of a sudden good opinion of the hero who saved the beauty from the bottom of her heart, but more because she looked embarrassed and ugly compared to the other party's clean and tidy opposite sex, so she was a little embarrassed.

She raised her still somewhat disobedient hand, and wiped her dirty face clumsily, trying not to be too ashamed.But after wiping it, a thought suddenly flashed in the girl's mind.

She paused her hands, raised her head, and looked at the boy who was smiling at her with a hint of defense in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The girl who had been struggling for a long time opened her hedgehog-like thorns and stared at the other party vigilantly, her nerves that had been relaxed just now tensed up again.

The empty and endless huge cave, looking around, the jagged and strange rocks extend far and deep into the darkness.

Several huge columns collapsed in half, causing cracks in the ground.

Here is a dark place buried deep in the depths of the earth, here is a huge abandoned and barren tomb.

The girl spent a very long time and went through untold hardships to finally find this place that was forgotten by the light and the world.

"Huh? Me?... This... My purpose of coming here is probably the same as yours..."

Seeing the girl's defense against him, the boy with light purple pupils looked a little embarrassed, but he still smiled with a good temper, and retreated considerately, taking the initiative to stay away from the girl.

The boy has a baby face that is easy to get close to, very clean, with a little childish innocence, even in such a dark underground, his smile is a bit bright.

He stood there, his body was a bit slender compared to an adult man, and his height was not high, almost on the same level as a girl.

The girl looked him up and down, and she was suddenly a little surprised how a boy with such a body could have so much strength, pulling herself up from the cliff all at once.

She looked at the boy's hands, they were white and soft hands, without calluses, not even a slight scar - obviously the hands of a pampered nobleman - just like her before.

This made the girl much less defensive.

"You also want to obtain the power of those legendary monsters?"

"Ah?..." The boy was obviously taken aback, looking at the girl's expression, he seemed a little at a loss, "How do you know that there is..."

"There's no need to hide it." The girl interrupted him, "I came here because I knew what was there. Aren't you the same?"

To find this forgotten place, it must be a noble family with a long history with rumors passed down.

And the purpose of this young man who is obviously a son of a nobleman coming here must be the same as hers.

For that legendary power that was so powerful thousands of years ago——

That incomparably powerful monster that is said to be unmatched even by the greatest hero among humans——

The boy was silent for a while, then spoke again.

"You need the power of a monster?"

"need!"

The girl answered decisively, most of her left cheek was blocked by her long brown hair, and she couldn't see her left eye. She could only see the deep anger leaking from the depths of her emerald green right pupil, and there was a trace of unconcealable anger. hate.

There was another few seconds of silence, and then, the boy suddenly laughed.

"Me too, I came to look for monsters like you."

He said, reaching out to the girl kneeling on the ground.

"So let's go together?"

The girl looked up at the boy who stretched out his hand to her, she remained silent, her only emerald green pupil flickered in the darkness.

Then, she grabbed the opponent's hand with the blood-stained hand that had countless small wounds wiped out by the sharp gravel.

"My name is Rebecca."

"Yeah." The teenager replied with a quiet smile, "I'm a game."

……

That is a bloody and cruel story repeated countless times in ancient history.

Fighting for wealth, power, and desire, the winner steps on the bones of the loser to rise to the top.

The victor is king and holds the glory.

Who can see the tragedy of the loser lingering on his last breath.

"Rebecca!"

At the moment when a sharp arrow flashing cold iron whizzed and pierced her left eye that was wide open to the limit, she whimpered and screamed, she was awakened by someone and opened her eyes suddenly.

She turned over and sat up, panting heavily, cold sweat sliding down her cheeks into her white neck.

She pressed her left eye, and the left eye, which was covered by a long brown fringe and had already healed but lost its light forever, throbbed with severe pain again.

That kind of cold pain has already penetrated into the marrow of her bones, and she will forcefully dig out the memory of her nightmare anytime and anywhere.

She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to forget the pain deep in her soul.

She put her hands down, and the deliberately long brown hair on the left fell down to block her blind left eye.

Rebecca raised her head and looked at the boy half kneeling in front of her.

The boy who woke her up from nightmares several times stared at her with undisguised worried eyes, which made her cold chest recover a little bit of heat from the beating heart after experiencing the nightmares.

Ever since Rebecca entered this endless dark underground cemetery alone, the loneliness of not seeing a living person and the oppressive feeling of the endless rough road came to her in waves.

The cemetery of the forgotten dead, where she is the only living person, where the sun cannot be seen and is dead silent...

She felt like a living dead person...

She used to hate crowded places because of her lost left eye and disfigured appearance, but now she knows how terrifying a person's loneliness really is.

For three days, just three days, since she entered this forgotten underground cemetery, she has had the nightmare that she was forced to forget every day.

She felt that she was going to be driven mad by this dead darkness.

Even if Rebecca herself refused to admit it, she had unconsciously become dependent on this boy named You You.

Just before she was about to be unable to bear the huge and terrifying mental oppression and collapsed, the young man who rescued her from the threat of death had become the life-saving straw that she grasped unconsciously.

Because every time after that, it was the game that woke her up from the nightmare.

And Rebecca has developed a habit of being relieved whenever she sees the boy's face, which she doesn't even know.

With a quiet pop, a drop of water dripped from the stone spur above the cave roof.

The brown-haired girl patted her cheek vigorously to wake herself up, then she stood up and took out an old broken sheepskin map from the small package beside her.

It is because of this map that the family has passed down from ancient times that she was able to come to this forgotten tomb.

She subconsciously touched her left eye, which had lost its light.

As long as she can acquire the powerful power of a legendary monster that no one can match, she can take revenge——

"We're going this way this time."

Rebecca said to Yugi standing quietly beside her.

In the past few days, their exploration of the ancient tomb has mainly focused on Rebecca.

Because Yu You, a son of aristocrat who is said to have sneaked out of his home, does not have a map of the interior of the ancient tomb, and he himself once admitted that he has no ability to distinguish roads.

Moreover, You You had persuaded her to leave several times, saying that this place was too dangerous, but she stared back fiercely.

No spine at all!As long as we can go back with the monsters, we don't have to be afraid of anything!

Rebecca once yelled at the game like this.

She stubbornly wants to continue to explore this terrifying tomb to gain powerful power.

However, this seemingly ruined underground tomb is full of dangers, and there are many traps everywhere.

Like last time, she almost fell off the cliff because she accidentally stepped on a mechanism.

Rebecca didn't realize that since she was with the boy with purple pupils, her luck seemed to be much better, and she could always find dangers such as organs hidden in the dark or undercurrents and holes under her feet in advance.

However, even if she was no longer in danger, she still couldn't find the entrance to the legendary tomb.

And often she returned to the same place as she walked, as if there was a force in the dark leading her to the wrong path.

"Rebecca, it's been so long, don't you plan to go back?"

The boy chasing after Rebecca said, persuading again, "The food and water are almost gone."

"Stop chattering!"

The brown-haired girl kept walking forward without looking back.

"If I can't find it, I'll die here!"

Anyway, if she can't get the power of the monster, she will definitely die when she goes back.

Yu You, who was chasing after her, paused and slowed down.

In the darkness illuminated only by the shimmering light from the moss on the stone wall, the boy sighed softly.

There was a helpless look on his face, then he stopped, raised his head and looked into a dark place.

In the darkness, the pure gold ring on his chest flashed abruptly.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the game stopped, the brown-haired girl also stopped and turned around.

Her only green right eye, which was not covered by her long hair, stared at the game, and there was a look of uneasiness deep in the pupil.

Although her attitude is not very good, she has already become habitually dependent on this boy.

She was very afraid that the other party would be really impatient and leave her to go back alone.

She no longer wants to experience the horrible feeling of being alone in the dark.

The boy who looked up at the dark side turned his head, his face became whiter and paler in the mossy twilight.

His eyes met Rebecca's, perhaps seeing the uneasy and weak look in the girl's eyes that she was trying to hide, his violet pupils moved slightly.

He sighed silently in his heart.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the side he was looking at was covered in darkness.

"There seems to be a cave here..."

Rebecca snorted. She walked over there just now, didn't she see any caves?

She walked back, the place the game pointed to was very dark, there was not even a few glowing moss, even her eyes that had adapted to the darkness underground could not see clearly.

"Nothing."

she said confused.

Yugi glanced at Rebecca, and walked over her shoulder to the dark place where you can't see your fingers.

"game!"

Rebecca gave a cry of concern.

She watched the game walk into the shadows, as if she had been swallowed by the darkness, and she could no longer see his figure.

Perhaps hearing her cry, Yuyou withdrew half of his body from the darkness and stretched out a hand to her.

Rebecca hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and grabbed Yugi's hand.

The moment she grabbed her hand, Yu You suddenly walked forward, and she was caught off guard and pulled forward.

The darkness swallowed her whole body, and she couldn't even see her own hands.

The girl panicked, her right hand unconsciously waved in the darkness, her entire shoulder trembled.

The boy who was holding her left hand suddenly exerted a lot of force, and the pain in his left hand made Rebecca wake up from panic.

In the darkness, only the warmth from the hand holding her could be felt.

The boy's hand was not very big, but he held her hand tightly all the time.

Her heart, which was almost jumping out of her chest because of the panic, calmed down a little bit for no reason.

As if bewitched by an inexplicable feeling, Rebecca quietly let the other party hold her hand and walked forward.

Step by step.

I don't know how long it took.

I don't know how far I have come.

She just felt that the more she walked, the more groggy she became.

Then, she finally fell asleep without knowing it and lost consciousness.

This time, she didn't have any more nightmares.

She slept soundly and soundly.

……

"Rebecca, wake up, Rebecca!"

The slender eyelashes of the girl who didn't know when she fell into a deep sleep trembled slightly at the calls ringing in her ears, and then opened them.

The overwhelming bright light hurt her eyes, causing the girl to close her eyes suddenly and raised her arms to block her eyes.

Her eyes, accustomed to the darkness, could not accept the sudden light.

Soon, the shadow of a person fell on her body, and the young man leaned over and thoughtfully helped her block the light she couldn't adapt to.

"game?"

Rebecca lowered her hand slowly.

Eyes that were still stinging and teary, tried to open slowly again.

What I saw when I opened it was still the warm smile of the young man who thoughtfully helped her block the light.

Deep in my heart felt like being stabbed by a needle for no reason.

The brown-haired girl hurriedly looked away as if she couldn't meet the game's eyes.

Just tilting her head, she was once again stunned on the spot——

Numerous giant columns with huge lotus heads support the endless huge and gorgeous golden palace.

Human beings standing in front of this huge palace are as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Gorgeous and mysterious runes of pure gold adorn this majestic and majestic palace.

There is not a single light, but there is a wonderful and soft light coming from all directions, refracting the pure gold ornaments all around, making the whole palace seem to be shining with golden brilliance.

It is hidden deep underground, but it is oppressed by a majestic momentum that penetrates the world.

It is said that it is a place that is so great and magnificent that anyone who sees it for the first time will be shocked to forget everything.

——The legendary golden cemetery——

"This, here is—?"

The girl opened her eyes wide with joy.

Nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong!This is the legendary place she was looking for so hard!

"I don't know either." You You, who was standing beside her, showed an apologetic smile, "I just stepped into a hole and slipped down when I was walking, and it even hurt you..."

He raised his head and looked at the vast and magnificent golden tomb palace.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ancient tomb we're looking for." You Yu stood up and said, "Are we going in to find where the monster you mentioned is? I think it might be there..."

He was still talking easily, but when he said this, his face suddenly changed and he shouted.

"Don't touch! Rebecca!!!"

Shocked by the gorgeous and magnificent cemetery in front of her like a king's palace, the girl who forgot everything around her stood up involuntarily.

She walked forward, looking blankly at the pure gold world like a dream around her.

When walking past a statue of a dog-headed human body made of pure gold, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch the statue in a trance, trying to confirm whether she was in a dream or not.

A sudden shout from behind her jolted her out of her trance.

But her fingertips have already touched the cold golden metal——

With a loud bang, the golden statue in front of her suddenly exploded.

The bluestone slab under her feet suddenly cracked and shattered into countless rubble, and she immediately fell into the black hole.

"Ugh……"

It was too late to catch Rebecca, the boy with violet pupils was suspended in the air at this moment.

The bluestone slab under his feet has also been shattered, leaving only a dark bottomless pit with its mouth open ferociously and the bottom cannot be seen.

The air current that lifted the boy in mid-air brought pure golden hair across the boy's white cheeks.

The boy sighed again.

There shouldn't be any danger.

The game thinks so.

After all, Rebecca was brought in by him, and the monster guardians in the cemetery would not harm her.

The trouble now... is that I don't know where she will be thrown...

-

A small piece of gravel rolled down from the stone wall, and the slight crackling sound when it hit was extremely harsh in this silent environment.

The girl carefully looked around her.

The place she was in was a huge room that was only supported by two huge lotus-headed columns, and the roof could hardly be seen.

The gorgeous gold decoration on the stone wall, which looks like a work of art, has not been able to withstand the erosion of time, and there are many traces of fragmentation and corrosion.

The only thing that seemed weird was that a huge stone wall was erected in front of the two giant pillars, as if abruptly isolating the room into two pieces, especially giving people an awkward feeling.

After Rebecca accidentally fell into a pothole, she didn't try to contact the game, but explored in this gorgeous golden cemetery according to the ancient and broken map.

Finally got rid of the grave guard.

she thought excitedly.

She finally won the bet.

The moment the boy with purple pupils appeared in front of her, Rebecca knew that he was the one she was looking for.

And ever since they met the teenagers, they can always discover those dangerous traps and mechanisms in advance.

Rebecca pretended not to notice it, but she knew it in her heart.

The boy with purple pupils is the successor of the guardian family of this ancient golden cemetery.

Only the guardian of the golden cemetery can bring her into the real cemetery.

The cemetery of gold that is rumored to be buried with all the wealth of the powerful and mysterious great golden kingdom that passed away thousands of years ago.

That is a legend that has been circulating on the earth for nearly a thousand years...

And Rebecca's family is the kind of aristocratic family with a long history that has passed down some unknown secrets from generation to generation.

That golden cemetery is guarded by the magic of the mysterious old empire, and no one can see its true face.

Rebecca's adventurous second grandfather once searched for an ancient abandoned dark cemetery when he was young, and accidentally discovered that there was a real cemetery thousands of years ago after the ruined cemetery.

Then, he meets a young cemetery keeper with violet pupils.

The guardian of the cemetery didn't kill him, but just sealed his memory and sent him out.

However, her second grandfather regained his memory because of the tragic stimulation of the genocide, and told Rebecca everything before he died.

So Rebecca came here desperately.

In her opinion, that young man must be a descendant of the guardian her second grandfather met back then, guarding the forgotten cemetery of the ancient golden kingdom for generations.

When the guardian finally took her into the real golden cemetery because of his soft heart, Rebecca kept thinking about how to get rid of him.

Although the trap that was triggered suddenly was not what she expected, it happened to allow her to get out of the game smoothly.

Then, she successfully found here.

If she judged correctly, the center of the golden cemetery should be near here—and the terrifying power of the monster she expected to get must be here too!

Rebecca carefully looked around again, and the huge stone wall that cut off the entire huge room attracted her attention.

Because her second grandfather was interested in this mysterious golden kingdom, he spent a lot of time studying its characters and also taught her, so she could barely distinguish some characters that were not very troublesome.

The densely packed stone walls are full of ancient and mysterious words, like a sacrificial oration.

She couldn't see the text on the high part of the huge stone wall at all, and could barely see the incomplete text near the end.

[My great kingdom of gold...the god of the sun... and... Reese...] [My... the great... Pharaoh and his brother... save... the darkness of the evil god...] [...Gold The kingdom of God is marching towards the glory of God Ra...]

[...The ultimate glory...collapse...]

[Darkness descends again...]

【...Foreign aggression...】

【...Tsunami... The sky is falling apart...】

[...Pharaohs fought one after another...however, in the end...] Succession?

Feeling strange, Rebecca read this sentence carefully again.

Pharaohs fight one after another?

Why does this sentence read so strangely?

It must be two or more people to describe it as a series.

Rebecca thought.

Maybe she mistranslated it... That character should mean an adjective such as bravery, it's 'face to face bravely', not the awkward 'consecutive face to face', right?

These protruding characters painted with gold powder carved on the stone wall seem to tell the story of the sudden destruction of the mysterious and powerful golden empire when it was reaching its peak of glory.

Rebecca was a little disappointed. She had hoped to learn how to obtain the power of monsters from these characters.

She took a step back, wanting to take a closer look at this strange stone wall.

But she didn't notice for a while, she took too many steps back, and her arm bumped into a slender stone pillar erected in front of the stone wall.

A bright crystal ball in the tray on the top of the stone pillar rolled out of the tray in a flash, and fell to the ground with a snap and broke into three pieces.

"It happened."

Rebecca, who was afraid of triggering another trap, hurriedly knelt down, reached out and picked up the largest fragment of a nearly semicircular crystal ball.

When she looked up, she was surprised and panicked to find that the guardian of the cemetery, a teenager named You Yu, was sitting in front of her.

The girl was caught off guard and reflexively wanted to explain, but before she could speak, she realized something was wrong.

The boy in front of her was dressed in gorgeous clothes that were completely different from before, and the pure gold ornaments with the obvious ancient golden empire style shone on his white complexion.

The boy knelt on the ground, the snow-white cloak was scattered at his feet, and the pure golden hair was messily scattered around his cheeks.

The pure gold ring around his neck dangled on the chest of his blood-stained clothes.

Tears flowed from his violet-toned pupils and stained his immature face.

He was sitting on his knees, his arms seemed to hold someone.

He didn't make a sound, but anyone could feel the pain that seemed to tear everything apart in that silent cry.

"You, game..."

The girl was at a loss.

She always felt that her closeness to the game was nothing more than taking advantage of each other.

But now when she saw that young man who was always smiling quietly crying at this moment, she panicked for no reason.

Perhaps it was because the moment when the young boy cried was so painful that even others could feel the silent sadness that made her feel heartbroken for a moment.

She wanted to comfort the other party in a panic, and didn't even think about the details of why the game's clothes were completely different from before.

"What's wrong with you? What happened? You, don't cry."

She hastily reached out her hand to the weeping teenager.

But she heard a slap. It turned out that she didn't pay attention when she hurriedly stretched out her hand. The fragments of the crystal ball in her palm fell from her hand and fell to the ground.

He fixed his eyes again, and the boy who was in front of him just now had disappeared completely.

It turned out that what she saw just now was just a past illusion in the crystal ball.

The girl stared blankly at the crystal ball on the ground, and just before she could react at all, there was a sudden loud roar——

Rebecca took a few steps back in panic again, staggered and almost fell.

She opened her eyes wide in astonishment, unable to believe what she saw.

The huge stone wall with countless incomplete ancient Egyptian golden characters in front of her just now disappeared without a trace.

In its place was the opposite of the empty and sprawling room.

There is a tall and magnificent platform paved with snow-white stones.

Under the protection of the huge stone sculptures of Anubis, the god of death, with faint cold lights flashing on both sides, two giant golden coffins stood steadily on the platform.

The girl stared blankly at the two giant golden coffins.

She hugged her head.

She suddenly remembered the sad crying face of the boy who always had a warm smile that she saw in the illusion just now.

The exquisite and gorgeous giant coffin made of pure gold lay high on the platform.

Before the platform, the huge stone tablet symbolizing death is engraved with ancient ancient Egyptian characters.

【The place where the last pharaoh of my great Egypt died】

【The name of the king】

——Atum——
