Saga of Atlantis

Chapter 10: Forgotten Continent And The Human God

The Forgotten Continent was a mysterious region surrounded by both charm and danger, a place where no one could come or go. If they do not have the necessary strength, they will perish.

As I reflected on the game's details about this land, particularly its involvement in the corruption of mana, I couldn't help but notice how little was explained beyond the gods' clash unleashing that dangerous impact.

As I read farther into the description of the Forgotten Continent, my mind shifted between the game's story and actual reality.

Mana had become contaminated within this abandoned realm, becoming a more chaotic and uncontrollable power.

The result was a twisted combination of magic and mutation, which splattered the landscape with terrifying monsters created from tainted mana.

A puzzling environment where nature's laws have become twisted, where monsters dominate and human life is nearly impossible.

However, near the continent's edge, there are dungeons that are the only places where humans or other races can go because the rest of the continent is sealed.

"I have to go to those dungeons.The task may seem intimidating, but the results will definitely be well worth the effort."

As I read, I reflected, recognizing that despite the book's lack of subject matter, its contents were nonetheless useful to me.

The Forgotten Continent's dungeons were both a dangerous land and an unequal training environment for those looking to hone their combat skills and experience the thrill of confronting a wide range of dangerous monsters.

"Edda, record down everything I've just learned."

I spoke softly to the ever-present system, now known as Edda.

As my interaction with the system progressed, we agreed on the name "Edda" for it because it was short, straightforward, and easy to remember.

I also requested that she use my given name instead of the impersonal "host" moniker.

During our chats, I discovered Edda's incredible ability to recall everything I encountered, transforming herself into a walking, talking encyclopedia.

I can easily top any exam.

[I will not assist you in cheating on your exam.]

Edda chimed in on my thoughts of getting flawless grades on all of my exams.

"I am your host; you should help me."

[I don't need a host who takes advantage of my abilities.]

"Like you can go anywhere? And that's what you are for, aren't you" .

I moved on to the following book, "Chronicles of Deities' Demise," after bricking with Edda.

My curiosity peaked as I delved into its pages.

Tales of gods clashing in a cataclysmic war

Atlantis, once a turbulent world, became the stage for their fights, with humans, the most weakened race, bearing the brunt of the consequences.

The story portrayed the rise of a human who defeated dragons, earning the title of human god—a symbol of hope in the face of sorrow.

The human god rallied humanity by providing a pillar to lean on in the middle of the chaos.

He was the first human with the ability to fight against the huge dragons, providing some solace in the midst of the carnage.

That one human soon became the human race's only hope of survival, since their numbers had plummeted far too much during the conflict between the gods.

Because he was the only one close enough to God for them, the human was soon given the title of human god.

The human god began to assemble a force of the remaining humans.

However, as time passed, the gods turned their attention to him, leaving him with little alternative but to join the fight of the gods.

That was also the gods' biggest mistake, as he murdered many gods and dragons alike, causing them to stop fighting amongst themselves and giving peace to all other races.

As time passed, the war resumed, this time with a more severe battle.

But it all came to an end when the world's will divided the gods from the mortals by creating another space known as the god realm, where the gods tend to slumber after a long battle.

However, the extended conflict had already done its damage.

The portal that brought the corruption was opened, and the area surrounding it began to suffer as a result.

To stop it from bringing death and disaster everywhere it goes, the human god locked the entire continent, which lasted for eons and will also last for time.

That location is known as the forgotten continent as a monument.

The human god was never seen again after that, but it is believed that the four ancient families are the human god's descendants, but no one can prove it.

As I finished the book, I reflected on the modest but useful amount of information it had given me.

"Hey, Edda" .

I summon the only one who can answer my queries.

[Yes, Eden.]

"Is it true"?

I inquired.

[Some things are true, while others are not].

"However, the gods awoke in the game, and the seal on the forgotten continent began to fade away at the end of Part One. Why?".

It was never stated why this happened, and I was curious as to why the eons-long seal began to fade.

[Error, more strength and authority were required.]

"Damn it.."
