As Ray's team settled down and made preparations for their next plan, worlds afar; a new situation was rising.

In a world covered in darkness, there was only silence. In that world, various different types monsters resided and controlled their territories. This world was the perfect example of a place where strong ruled the weak and right now, in small cave, sat two humans who had just recently arrived in this world.

The man was heavily wounded as he sat on the ground, breathing heavily with his eyes closed, trying to reserve as much energy as he could. Besides the man was a scythe as black as the darkness itself engraved with golden runes that filled the blade with a primal force that continously emanated from the scythe.

In front of the man burned a fire above which a few rabbits were being roasted. A woman sat along the fire as she continously grinded a few herbs and mixed a few different type of ointments together.

The woman was none other than Amanda and currently she was preparing a medicine for the dean to help him heal faster. They had been through various fights and during their previous battle, the dean was injured seriously by a surprise attack from an opponent who had decided to go kamikaze.

"Dont worry dear, its going to be fine. This medicine will remove the foreign mana and you would be able to heal yourself back," Amanda said as she stood and walked up to the dean. The dean opened his eyes ever so slightly and looked at Amanda. A slight smile hung up his face as he nodded lightly.

"Here you go," Amanda said and sat down. Taking the paste in her hand, she removed the dean's cloak, revealing the dean's injury. Just looking at the ghastly wound, many would feel light headed. After all, the wound wasn't just anything. It was just hideous as a huge gash went through the dean's chest while a gaping hole could be seen just above his stomach.

One could even see the fain outline of the diaphragm the hole while his ribs were completely visible from the gash.

Every time the dean breathed in, his chest would rise and the gash would open up more, revealing even more of his innards. Seeing the wound, Amanda's eyes couldn't help but water. She took a deep breath and then with calm hands, started to spread the medicine over the wound.

The dean flinched when the medicine was applied but he kept his expression calm. Over his life, he had been through various injuries, many even worse than this but one thing he could never get used to was the look on Amanda's face whenever he was injured.

She would always tear up seeing him in a bad condition, especially when he was injured and seeing her cry was what broke the dean's heart. Thats why he had taken a break from fighting for all those years and acted as the dean of one of the strongest academies around the world.

However, the recent situation had forced him to fight and along with him it had also forced Amanda to pick up her staff and that had brought them to their current situation. Stranded on an unknown world with no one to their help and just themselves to take care of themselves.

Soon, the medicine started to work as a strange fog was released from the wounds. This was the remnant mana that had been suppressing the healing of wounds and instead making them turn worse.

Amanda raised her hand and shot a ray of energy at the fog and destroyed the remnant mana. Right after, the dean exhaled lightly as he could feel his mana reaching the wounds and slowly starting the healing process.

"Thanks Amanda, it's much better now," The dean spoke lightly. He was still in pain but it was bearable.

"Now rest and close your eyes. You need to give your body some time to heal. I will wake you when food is ready," Amanda said as she also sat down in front of the fire and stared at the rabbits being roasted over the fire.

As the dean closed his eyes, he drifted off in a dreamless sleep. It was just so calm and peaceful, the dean thought for a moment and the very next moment, he was woken up by Amanda.

"Hey wake up, its time to eat," the dean opened his eyes and saw Amanda holding a plate filled with food. She sat down in front of him and smiled at him and then with her own hands, she started to feed him the food.

"I gotta say Amanda, I really missed your wilderness cooking. You just have a way to make it amazing in any situation," the dean praised as he slowly ate the food, taking in the sublime flavors of the roasted meat.

"Dont give me so much credit, you are cooking the next time," Amanda answered and kept on feeding him while eating herself as well.

The night passed by and both the Dean and Amanda woke up the next day. Peeking out of the cave, it was still dark as usual.

"Does this world ever get any light?" The dean questioned as he slowly stood up. Looking down at his injuries, he noticed that the gash was closing in well while the gaping hole in his stomach still had quite a bit to heal.

"It will be a bit of time before we explore this world and get to the gist of what is happening here," the dean thought and took out a round compass from his cloak.

Holding the compass, he looked at its description,

[Needle Of Fate:- Fate guides you where you are needed to be. Follow the needle pointing north and may fate accompany you to good times],

The description was very brief and to many, it would be almost useless but to someone at the dean's caliber, it was the whole gist of the compass's ability. It was a treasure he had gained through the inheritance provided by his system and bloodline all together and he had been using this compass for most of his life to lead him out of unfavorable situations and lead him to where he was needed to be.

"I have some work in this world, or else the compass wouldn't have lead me here. Hopefully fate favors me here and probably i would find a way to the problems in our world," the dean said, looking to his side, holding Amanda's hand in his own and clenching it tightly.

"Let's go back and rest, you need to heal fully before we leave," Amanda said and led him back to where they sat.

On the other hand,

Outside the cave was a world filled with beasts and monsters so strong and ferocious that a Celestial was nothing but their food. The dean and Amanda were unaware of this and were lucky that the cave where they resided was in a secluded place where the monsters barely ventured.

In a small settlement heavily protected by various formations and other types of defensive armaments, a few people sat around a table as they discussed their current circumstances,

"We have enough rations to last for a few more months, then why are we sending an expedition team outside? And that too with the strongest of our warriors," an old man with a goatee spoke. The man's appearance was nothing less of being dreadful as a scar ran all across his face and in place of his right eye was a whitish cavity that implied the fact that the man had previously lost his eye in some battle and the scar clearly told of the battles the man had once fought.

"Elder, it isn't our own decision and we are also unwilling to send out an expedition team but the oracle has foreseen a great omen for us and has asked us to do," another man spoke, he looked considerably younger than the elder who had speaken before but hearing his explanation, the elder also calmed down and sat back.

"Everyone, lets do as the oracle has asked us to do. It is only because of the oracle that our settlement has survived through countless generations we are the only humans to still live on this planet. Let's keep that fact as it is and continue to live our lives, meeting adjourned," another man said as he ended the meeting. This man was eldest of them all and just by the amount of wrinkles on the man's face, one could discern that his age wasn't to be scoffed at.

As everyone walked out of the room and headed back to their places, the man slowly stood up, his hunched back straightening slightly, the man released a pained sigh and then slowly walked back to his place while muttering, "Hopefully it is what she thinks it is and may fate shine upon us once more like it did for our ancestors centuries ago,"
