20 Kingdoms Egde

I watched Sly as he walked towards me. He got closer and closer to me. But then he stopped and looked at me for a bit.

Excursion: "Is something wrong?"

Sly: "Nothing let's get ready to go."

Excursion: "Alright."

I looked at Sly as he had a look of hesitation on his face. I put my nail on my back and looked at my leech she looked up at me. Sly had not noticed her yet, I picked her up and looked at her 'Could she fit in my head?' I thought.

My head had to holes where my eyes were supposed to be and my whole head was hollow, so I could potentially put her in. It felt weird at first but I got used to it fairly quickly.

I looked at Sly again I saw him just standing there thinking.

(*Sly Pov*)

'I can't do it, I can't kill him he looks so innocent and curious. I already murdered someone so what's the difference this time?' I thought as I looked at Excursion with curiosity and a bit of fear. Not fear of him but fear for what evil lurked inside of him.

'When will I be able to get away from all of this... I don't care about Gods or Kings. Now I just want some peace. Hopefully, my job as the Greatnailsage will be over soon.' I thought as I sighed and walked to Excursion.

Sly: "Are you ready to leave?"

Excursion: "Yeah I have all my things ready."

I nodded and began to walk forward. I was going to take a shortcut to Kingdom's Edge. Excursion followed closely behind me.

He was not speaking, I decided to start a conversation since the silence was killing me. Even though I was still fearful of the monster inside of him I could tell that he wasn't the same monster that was inside of him.

Sly: "Do you have any love interests?"

Excursion: "Not yet I haven't found anyone that I liked that way yet."

Sly: "Well, do you have any plans after I finish teaching you?"

Excursion: "Hmm, I guess I'll just help the community for a while."

Sly: "That's a good thing to do kid."

Then a frosty wind blew in our faces, it was getting colder and colder as we moved forward. The white ash came in and got on our cloaks. My disciple didn't like the idea of ashes getting on his cloak so he brushed it off but more came onto it getting him a bit annoyed, it was a funny thing to see.

The crystals ceased at a certain point, we were entering Kingdoms Edge a place where the Pale King's law is diminished. It was the perfect place to train a new warrior, Sly knew this from experience.

The caves got brighter and brighter and the ash began to pile up underneath us. Then we finally made it out of Crystal Peak, we stood at the end of the tunnel.

Ashes fell down from the sky and a cold breeze brushed by us. The sound of acid bubbling echoed throughout the area. I took a deep breath, I remember my training here it made this place feel like home.

(*Mc Pov*)

'Wow, I didn't expect Kingdoms Egde to look so beautiful.' I thought as I looked around it was much more brighter than Crystal Peak.

[New Quest For The Sly Questline: Only The Strong Survive!

Your still level three I'm f*cking disappointed, make sure that you level up to level ten and then you will gain rewards.

Rewards: Better Nail, Three Gacha Tickets, Sword Mastery Level up.]

'This quest definitely wasn't written by the System. I think I will go to the Dungeon so I can do this quest quickly. Maybe I can even get a new item?' I thought as I opened my status.

'Woah! Why didn't the system tell me that I got a title? And why does Void Gamer have a question mark now? Well I know what the title does I wish it did a little bit more though since there isn't a lot of Nailsages. And for Void Gamer, I really don't know what is happening with it.' I thought

Sly: "Follow me, if my memory serves me correctly there should be a house nearby. We can use it as a base."

Sly said as he jumped on a platform and then began to jump down. I did exactly what he did, when we reached the floor we walked on the soft floor.

The sounds of ashes crunching underneath our feet was the only thing we heard for a while. Then we saw small building in the distance it had some holes in it and looked a bit worn down.

Sly entered the building and I followed behind him. In the building there was a bed and a couch but it was made with stone.

Sly: "You can sleep on the bed. And before you say anything, I'm fine with sleeping on it."

Sly said as he laid down on the couch and went to sleep. 'He is a quick sleeper.' I thought as I sat down on the bed. I opened the system menu and then looked at the dungeon button.

It has been a week so I can go back in. I pressed the button, I was going to stay in the dungeon until the end.

[*Dungeon has Intergrated Mods.*]

'Huh, it already integrated some mods!?' I thought as I sat in the middle of the wooden floor. I walked to the next room and found the walls were covered with honey. The doors closed and I looked at the enemies in the room.

They're was three small bees 'This is good. Atleast it wasn't a bad mod Fiend Folio is good.' I thought as I took out my nail.

I slashed one of the bees in half. It fell onto the floor dead, I then proceeded to do it to the other bees as well.

'Hopefully the item is good.' I thought as I left the room
