My NTR Harem
Chapter 75: Fog

When Lucian showed his mobile in the shop, even the repairman looked at him strangely since he was using such an old mobile and its condition was so bad, most of it was cracked.

But his mobile was revived in the end, though it was on its last breath then he booked a cab and by now he had already spent almost half of the money he won earlier.

' I have to resolve the money problem, but my priority is to enter a Chasm, I wonder when Zero will wake up. ' he thought and soon he was sitting inside a cab and was going back home.

...

It didn't take long for him to arrive at his house and just as he expected the two brothers were lying there, completely drunk, they were going to be pretty pissed once they replace out that all their money is gone.

" I just hope this house doesn't fell over me while I am asleep. " Lucian mumbled as he opened the lock and walked inside, he had to be careful so that he don't accidentally break the door.

Then he lay back on the bed that looked generations old and turned the fan on, which was rotating as if it was carrying the weight of the whole world on its blades, Lucian just turned it off since it looked that it might fall down any moment.

******

Lucian barely received any sleep the entire night, it was hot, there were mosquitoes, the bed was uncomfortable, every single thing about this place was the worst.

" Hey Zero, are you back yet? " He questioned, but just as he was about to release a sigh, the bracelet on his wrist turned into a book whose pages flipped magically.

[ Yes I am back, I feel much better after resting. And I see, you were having quite the fun while I was gone huh? ]

" Forget that, let's go into a Chasm. I don't want to waste anymore time. " Lucian spoke as he sat up.

[ Yes, we can finally go into a Chasm. Hmmm if you want to enter a Chasm then you have to leave immediately. ]

Reading Zero's reply Lucian decided to ask the questions later, he hastily freshened up and dressed into different and more comfortable clothes.

" I guess I won't be able to go to school today. " Lucian mumbled so he sent a message to Eric, saying that he is sick.

" Okay, so where do I need to go? " Lucian asked as he locked the door and walked out of the house.

[ You first need to arrive at this address. ]

An address appeared inside his head immediately, Zero had already returned to her bracelet form, taking out his mobile Lucian checked the address.

" That's quite far, I'm gonna need to take two cabs and a train, haa I would have to spend all of my remaining money. " Lucian sighed, but he didn't have any other choice so he continued his journey.

" Before I go anywhere, I need to eat something or I won't be able to do anything with an empty stomach. " He spoke then he found a small hotel which was already open, since it was early morning so most of the others were still closed.

After eating, he booked a cab to take him to the train station, and in less than half an hour he had arrived at the station. Then he bought ticket for his next destination, and didn't have to wait long for the train to arrive.

' I feel like an office worker, struggling with everyday life, rushing to his office early in the morning. ' Lucian thought as he looked around in the train, most of them were people going to their offices.

While he was sitting inside the train, he decided to get some information from Zero about Chasms and how he was going to enter them.

' Alright Zero, start explaining everything, your time starts... now! ' Lucian spoke in his mind.

[ Aye aye captain hehe. As I have already told you before, the existence of Chasm is not known to normal public neither are they allowed to enter.

The Chasms are either handled by the people of underworld or government so you can only go inside along with them.

The Chasm we are going to enter soon is a 1st Phase Chasm since it is impossible to enter any of the higher Phase for you because of the density of the fog. Now, let me explain it properly what a Chasm actually is... ]

After a slight pause, her words began to appear inside his head, as Lucian focussed on them completely.

[ A Chasm can be called a gate of sorts connecting two planets that are separated by time and space, the races on both the places are obviously different- ]

Interrupting her, Lucian thought: ' Wait, then two different races were put to fight one another until one of them is completely annihilated and the others get the chance to evolve? '

[ Yes, you can say that. So let me explain it with a simple example, suppose a 1st Phase Chasm opened on Earth, so if the two places are similar in strength then both sides could move to the other side.

Though if the other side is weaker then the stronger side won't be able to enter for some time and all they can do is defend. ]

' But it's not like someone is forcing them to fight the other side, can't they just live in peace with the other race then? And they would even be able to share their technologies and inventions. ' Lucian questioned.

[ Yes that would be wonderful, but there is no trust between the two sides, so who would guarantee that the other side won't attack them suddenly.

And even if the other planet is harmless, humans just can't hold in their greed they would one day try to devour the other race. ]

' Hmmm that's true, then what is the way to clear it? Does that mean we have to annihilate the entire planet? ' he asked.

[ No, the Chasm could be considered cleared if you can kill the strongest person of the other planet, only then would be able to absorb the fog of the enemies you have killed in that Chasm.

But even if you clear the Chasm it won't close, though it would no longer be that big of a threat, and you can slowly clear it out.

Once you have cleared it, you will be able to absorb the fog of the enemies you kill immediately unlike before you have cleared it. ]

' The Chasm we are going to, is it cleared or not? ' Lucian asked, since if it is cleared then he would be able to awaken just after a single enemy dies on the other side.

But if it is not, then they have to clear it first to be able to absorb the fog.

[ It had been cleared a long time ago and is just being used to awaken new people, or replace new things.

That Chasm is owned by someone strong in the Underworld, they are sending some of their people inside it today and they would also be bringing some others along. ]
