VOLUME 2
Chapter 2: The Curse of the Pyramid
Part 3
According to the conversation with Ryuka, the Curse of the Pyramid was the name of a hidden quest in what started out as a tomb for the Emperor of Penglai on the northern part of the island of Lao Thai.
Penglai appeared to have been the ancient name of Lao Thai. About five thousand years earlier, the Penglai dynasty took over many islands in the area.
The last emperor of the Penglai dynasty, just before his death, secluded himself there and performed a ceremony of reincarnation. After some time, he would reincarnate and the Great Penglai Empire would begin anew&h.e.l.lip;
The island of Lao Thai had that backstory.
The Pyramid of the Penglai Emperor stood four days away from the city of Payang with the spell Running. As expected, it was too far away from the town for any quest objects to be nearby. Further north was the cave in which the Black Tortoise of the four sacred beasts dwelled, but the pyramid itself was secluded from everything else by a steep mountain. Moreover, that cave was accessible by means of the teleporter near town.
(So the Pyramid of the Penglai Emperor was isolated completely from everything else, huh?)
When Jun heard Ryuka’s story, that was what he thought of first.
Hiding a very important structure in a very inconveniently isolated spot was quite the logical move for the developers. Furthermore, the best possible reward from it was the appraisal skill cap increase, so&h.e.l.lip;
(Perhaps there’s something else there?)
Since it harbored so many obstacles, there was quite the possibility that people interested in the few quests found inside or just by idle curiosity would eventually give up.
The island of Lao Thai was designed as a place for newbies to grow and become mid-level players, along as the entrance to the seventh island ring. Maybe that had been reading too deeply into the designers’ intentions, but the Pyramid of the Penglai Emperor and other things of the sort felt out of place.
(Something’s a bit off here.)
Though, that unnatural vibe meant nothing on its own. If somebody tried to see the whole world, it would make sense that the dynastic tomb was established here. But if it were said that there existed a curse, n.o.body would want to go near the area.
(I wonder if I’m overthinking this.)
So, Jun, shaking his head, expelled all of his anxieties from his mind.
