Evergreen Forest, a forest that remains green throughout the years. People says that it is because of the blessings of Green Dragon God. But some others says that it is because of the presence of the Forest of Elves in the Evergreen Forest.
But whatever people says that the Evergreen Forest is always green and no one has seen it in yellow or withered in the autumn or winter.
Many Empires, Kingdoms, Countries and Leagues has tried to conquered this Evergreen Forest.
Many Conquerer has come and gone defeated by the people's of the Barbarik, Barbarians.
The overwhelming powers of the Barbarians which was not known to the Continent before the first conquest of the Evergreen Forest was known to the Continent.
So the Conquest of the Evergreen Forest has come to an end due to the presence of the Barbarians in the forest.
[Conquest of Herald, By King Edward Herald.]
Kai finish reading the book when he visit the library before he went to the Evergreen Forest.
Kai went outside the Library, he thought for a second.
"The Barbarians seem to be powerful but I don't know how they will respond to the new visitor that come after a long time."
He then went outside the Gate of the Kylin City. It will take three days to the reach the Evergreen Forest on a Cart. But there is no cart or group of merchants that go into route near the Evergreen Forest.
So Kai need to travel by foot to the Evergreen Forest by himself. On the Kylin City's street, people was riding a horse like beast called Eqius.
The price of one Eqius is ten gold coins. Kai brought the Eqius with the market price.
Kai jumps into the back of the Equis. He then rode the Eqius to the direction of the Evergreen Forest.
Kai took a map of the Continent, he then check the route in which he needs to travel to reach the Evergreen Forest.
Between Kylin City and the Evergreen Forest, there is a desert called Marubmi Desert. Desert of Death.
The desert is infected by the dangerous beast. So the people of the Southern part of the Continents use a long detour path which exclude the view of Evergreen Forest.
By evening, Kai reached the Desert and set up a camp near the desert. On the way he encounter many ferocious beast. Kai defeated the beasts and collected thier mama Core.
Kai understood that the Mana Core can fetch more than the corpse of the beast. By killing the beast, Kai got total of 412 tokens.
---
On the next morning Kai venture into the desert with his Eqius. The desert was vast and there were many beast.
Sand Lizards, Cocotails, Hyrana, Brown Worm, Kyagour and many other beast that could easily kills a B rank adventurer.
"Now I understand, why this place is called the desert of the Death. Once entered you will be attacked and killed by these beast." Before Kai could collect hid thought a Sand Lizards come to the attack him.
He kill all the beast that come to attack him. But due to the constant attack of the beast, Kai's Eqius loss it's power and speed. The attack has break one of the Eqius's leg.
"I don't think this one can last long."
Kai looked at the corpses of the Sand Lizards and looked at the forward path with his eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, an earthquake, no but the sand around Kai began to move. Something was opening in the desert. A huge hole in the Marubmi Desert.
Kai fells into the Hole. Kai fell with his Eqius into the Hole.
The Eqius died on the fall due to the impact of the fall. Kai who has a strength of 200 stands on his foot and looked around him.
Pitch Black but could barely seen in the place where he felled.
Suddenly, the place began to lit up. Kai looked around to see where he could has fallen.
He saw that the Eqius that he has brought is dead.

The place was engraved with the ancient runes around the cave like structure. An ancient tomb or ancient ruins.
When the lamp in the ancient runes glows up, the letters or runes in that ancient place glows up.
"What is this place? A Temple or Tomb." Kai venture into the place. A notification suddenly pops up, Kai reads the notification.
[You have discovered an hidden place.]
[Tomb of Disciple of Hydrasil, Kycilius.]
[Discover the secret of the Tomb of Kycilius.]
[Rewards: Mysterious Skill]
"So this is a Tomb. What is this secret meant by this thing."
Kai went into the place to explore the Tomb further to complete the mission given by the system.
Kai encountered various beast that has the ability to transform it's body into sand. Kai strikes the body of the beast with his Ignite sword.
But the beast transforms it's body into sand. Kai strikes was in vain. The beast escaped from Kai's attack.
Kai was in confusion.
"This is annoying, now a thing that can turn into dust." Kai strikes again but the beast escaped Kai's attack.
But Kai saw something in the dust when the beast turned into dust. Something shining in the dust particles.
Kai strikes again and the beast turned into the dust. When the beast turns it body to sand to escape from Kai's attack.
During this time, Kai strikes the shining object in the dust with his fist. The object shattered into pieces.
The beast roared in agony and pain.
Gwwaarr.
The beast's body vanishs into the dust when the object get destroyed. Kai then looked at the object which he has destroyed. It was like a crystal.
A notification pops up.
[Congralution, You have defeated Kycilius's minion.]
"I don't know what this Kycilius is? But it sure is strong." Kai gripped his sword more tightly.
As Kai venture deep into the Ancient Tomb. More and more sand creatures came and attacked him.
"What are these thing." Kai was tired by the constant attack of the creatures and he killed them easily as he knew the weakness of the creature.
But Kai noticed something that these creatures are coming from a single directions. The creature are protecting the something from the Intruder.
As Kai went into the direction with his Ignite sword.
More and more creature comes and tires to stop him. Kai defeats all the creatures that comes to attack him.
By killing the creatures, Kai reaches a large ancient gateway guarded by the creatures.
Sensing, a presence of an uninvited guest the creatures gaze looked into direction the intruder with fiercely.
