He Comes From the Void

Kane opened his eyes suddenly, coughing violently and blowing up a large amount of dry dust.

It was pitch black in front of him, but he thought he was not blind, because he vaguely saw the outline of blood and dirt hanging on his eyelashes.

"Didn't I die in the earthquake? Where is this?"

He licked his chapped lips, and the cries of adults and children echoed in his ears, making people panic. Struggling to get up from the ground, but the heart-wrenching pain twisted and whirled in his chest.

"Hiss, it hurts, my head is bleeding, and my lungs..."

A sense of dizziness came over him, like a bomb detonated in his ears, and his eardrums swelled and buzzed.

The memories left by this body began to merge, just like a spoonful of white sugar sprinkled into boiling water, was thrown away by the boiling water, and finally was squeezed and melted by a strong external force because of the incompatibility, creating a foreign body. soul.

A world both strange and familiar, Runeterra.

The most dangerous corner of Shurima, Icacia.

The ignorant and ignorant villagers have lived in this cruel desert for generations, and they have not realized that the danger has quietly spread to their feet.

The underground is densely covered with countless void creations, they carry an insatiable hunger, and are always ready to bring digestion to all things.

The undercurrent in the depths of the ground has been surging forever, and the scattered villages seem to exist on the hourglass. When the sand and gravel flow out to reveal the huge mouth of the abyss that swallows everything below, no one can escape.

The end of the day should not have come so soon, but a child's unintentional pranks lead to destruction.

Kane, that is, the original owner of this body, was only ten summers old, and he was at the most playful age in his life.

Had he been a little older, it would have been easier to notice that something unusual was going on in the village—wandering strangers demanding daily tribute from the villagers, offering sacrifices to dark forces beneath the earth.

The daytime in the desert is too hot, Kane and the children in the village can only go out to play in the shade of the night.

That night they came upon a pen of goats bought as sacrifices from a nomadic tribe.

Driven by the inexplicable child's mind, Kesha, a girl traveling with her, cut the rope and let the animals go, showing off to her friends the exquisite dagger that is unique to her family.

Kane didn't stop, all his attention was on the dagger.

It was a birthday present from Kesha's father when she was eight years old. In this barren village where there is nothing, every time she takes it out, it will arouse the envy of her friends.

But no one thought that this would be the beginning of a nightmare.

When the new moon came, the cult saw that the sacrifice was not ready, and in its rage, it awakened the void and replaced the necessary sacrifice with a foolish life.

The ground trembled, and the scorching flashes pierced the sky, and the children fled. A deep valley was opened in the bedrock of the earth, swallowing the entire village and all its people. Only the twisted stone pillars as dark as night were left, piercing through the yellow sand of the desert.

In the subsidence, Kane fell to the ground and died. The alien soul who died in the earthquake occupied his still intact body.

"Now, my name is Kane. But..."

The most unacceptable thing for Kane is not to come to another world, nor to become a ten-year-old child, but to be involved in this ten-death thing, and he is not even qualified to continue to live.

What he played in this incident was just a passerby who didn't even have a name. Except for Kesha, everyone in the whole village failed to survive in the end.

The survivors were buried by the ruins and trapped underground, and their lives died out one after another within three days.

He is angry, why give him hope and then make him despair!

The grotesque successive shocks made his brain confused, and he was unable to move due to fear, but the remaining sliver of rationality allowed him to seize a chance in the dark and quickly calm down.

"Wait! Keisha... Keisha should also be trapped underground."

"Is it possible to survive as long as you follow her?"

The life-saving straw seemed to be placed in front of him, but when Kane reached out to grab it, he hesitated.

"No, I can't do this! We've just fallen, and Keisha hasn't been living with the void yet. My appearance may cause a butterfly effect. If she doesn't complete the symbiosis, she won't live long, so I... "

Kane temporarily gave up struggling, and lay limp on the ruins to recover his strength.

He knew that at least the first three days after falling into the ground would be safe, and those void monsters would not find this place so quickly.

The cries that were incomprehensible just now gradually became clearer.

"It hurts, help! Help..."

"Mom, where are you, I'm so scared..."

"..."

Listening to these cries for help, Kane suddenly remembered the biological mother and father of this body, but he immediately forced himself not to think about these, and not to torture his already fragile and nearly collapsed spirit.

If you knew how cruel and desperate the underground world is, you wouldn't talk about helping each other and living together.

There is no food here, only monsters, ordinary people without special abilities can't last long here.

In the end, he either died of starvation or became the ration of monsters.

He cannot be bound by morality, benevolence and blood, and must make the most rational decision.

Don't act! Don't change anything!

The one in ten thousand chance of survival is already in front of you, and you may miss it if you make any move!

Only by resting quietly, recovering from the wound and conserving physical strength, can I have the strength to catch that trace of life after three days!

Although the thoughts in his heart were almost heartless, human nature still drove him to move. It's just that after he almost passed out from the stabbing pain in his chest when he got up, he was finally able to give up this idea with a little relief.

"Sorry, I want to save, but my physical condition doesn't allow it..." Even breathing was painful, Kane had no choice but to talk to his conscience, and closed his eyes again.

The cries of the survivors still echoed in the darkness, and Kane lay in the ruins waiting for him to get used to the pain, silent as if he were dead.

He deeply engraved the feeling of powerlessness at this moment in his heart, and it was the first time that his soul, which was originally indifferent to the world, had such a strong desire to become stronger. He is powerless to change his current fate, only by becoming stronger can he control his own destiny.

Under the cruel law of the void, the weak can only survive by becoming ruthless, and kindness is the charity that the strong can give.

"Is anyone there? Answer me please?"

While Kane was constantly comforting himself, the girl's sobs drifted into his ears, and she mumbled several names indistinctly, one of which was Kane.

Relying on the familiarity in his memory, Kane was sure that this girl was Keisha.

The gravel rubbed under his feet, and the sound of the girl's footsteps was getting closer. Kane closed his eyes and refused to open them.

"Kane? Kane! Are you still alive?"

Keisha seemed to recognize her playmate, she knelt down and reached out her dirty hands to press Kane's face, gently pushing his head back and forth.

But Kane held his breath and didn't even dare to breathe out. His "death" made Keisha fall into despair and fear again.

He couldn't let her find himself alive, at least not yet.

Keisha has to face everything alone in order to complete symbiosis and have the capital to live underground. She must be tenacious in desperation, but even a little weakness cannot complete the transformation.

"Woooo, talk to me, I'm so scared by myself!"

"what do I do……"

The girl cried heart-piercingly, and warm tears dripped down Kane's face, making him very worried.
