Chapter 301
The wall was the only thing in Angele's eyes .
The engraving of a pale-faced woman was surrounded by black vines as she herself was silently staring at him with a pair of dark hollow eyes .
"You can understand my words?" Angele responded in the ancient language . He stood in front of the wall and looked into the woman’s eyes which were akin to two dark shallow holes .
"Of course . " The woman’s face moved as though she was nodding in response . The vines around her were being dragged to the side .
"So, why did you decide to talk to me?" Angele asked .
"You heard the voice of that young boy, right?" The woman smiled . "This ruin is dangerous, very dangerous . Unfortunate things will happen if you are not careful enough . Tell me why you are here . Perhaps I can offer you some help . Seeing you is like seeing my long-lost children…"
"Why am I here?" Angele hesitated .
"Yes, one does not come here for nothing . This is the Nightmare Realm which will make you have an experience as if you had a nightmare . So tell me, why are you here?" the woman replied in a light tone .
"I'm searching for a bloodline that will help me enter this realm again . " There was no point for Angele to hide his true purpose .
"Why do you wish to enter this realm once again?" the woman continued asking .
"For the sake of obtaining rare resources, knowledge, and . . . some other things," Angele answered in a serious tone .
"Why do you wish to obtain the knowledge and the resources?" Clearly, she would not stop any time .
"I want to become stronger, to advance to the next rank . "
"Why is that? What will the high rank bring you?"
Angele stopped and pursed his lips .
"What will the rank bring me?" He lowered his head and started thinking .
‘Power? Money? Beautiful women?’
‘No, none of those . ’
Angele once asked himself the same question but the conclusion he got was to keep moving forward .
"What are you seeking from this world? Have you ever thought about it?" the woman questioned him again .
"What’s the purpose of your life?"
Angele was getting confused .
He recalled his former life back on Earth . The only thing he had done every single day was to have fun . This lifestyle made him feel like he was rotting from the inside like a worthless worm .
His past life was boring but safe .
Yet if he had not reincarnated into this world after the car accident, his dull, boring life would have continued as it was, forever .
This new world, on the contrary, was charming . His life was far more colorful than dull as it had been before .
At the beginning, Angele wanted to gain power in order to protect his family and to become a strong individual . His dream had come to fruition when he advanced to become a formal wizard, then the only thing he needed to accomplish was to keep progressing as a wizard .
There was no point in him stopping as all the resources he needed was near his grasp .
Angele could have chosen to return to the west coast and merely settle in selling potions the rest of his entire life . He could have enjoyed being in a peaceful environment for the next several hundred years .
However, such a way of life was not what he desired .
Angele now figured out the answer to the questions .
Suddenly, he raised his head and glanced at the woman again .
"What is your name?" he asked .
The woman smiled . "You may refer to me as the 'Wall of Confusion' . I can see through your mind and I shall guide you to your life purpose . Once you find the answers to my questions, I shall bestow you a special reward . "
"What if I could not?" Angele narrowed his eyes .
As he lowered his head, he saw countless black vines climbing up his legs which nearly covered his waist . Angele's legs became numb, unable to move it in the slightest bit .
"If you cannot find the answers, I shall consume you . I feed on wanderers' confusion as it will let me become more powerful . " The woman started laughing .
"Interesting . " Angele blinked his eyes, then he slashed the vines with his cursed scimitar .
*Clank*
The scimitar was blocked, and the vines were not damaged .
He took out the Light of Thorns .
"It will not work . You must find the answer, then I will free you . " The woman pursed her lips .
"Find the answer, huh?" Angele took a deep breath .
"You want to know what I’m seeking from this world?"
*KA*
The vines started climbing again . Angele had already felt tired and he could barely move his arms .
Back on Earth, Angele had no passion for his job and the only thing he wanted to do was to search for an exciting purpose in his life .
"I will keep moving forward to search for the things that will excite me; this world is vast . The higher my rank is, the more interesting things will I encounter . I will climb the peak of the mountain and enjoy the best view . "
He had these thoughts in mind and spat everything out without organizing his thoughts too much; these were his pure desires .
"The horrifying Nightmare Realm, the mysterious Chaos Dimension, the legendary Void Domain—such adventures await me . Therefore, I must not stop advancing . "
Suddenly, Angele's body set ablaze and was surrounded by translucent flames, burning the expanding roots . The roots were burnt into ashes in but a few seconds and fell to the ground .
"Never will I stop until I discover every exciting thing in this world . Perhaps I could even explore all realms one day . . . "
