Beyond the desert plains and rusty towers there lies a rustic goddess... Her name? Lady Liberty. Though her arm is broken and she's covered in rust, many people still go to her. Not to pray nor to give an offering but to dig, to dig an ancient lost civilization which built the rusty towers and made other marvels such as language and mathematics.
Along with these diggers is a young scholar named Ryst Teller. He's the one responsible for ancient tablets.
One day a new tunnel was discovered at the foot of the goddess, the excavation team decided to send three people for a recon, the ones chosen were Ryst, Ylsil and Elijah. And so they strapped thei belts sheathed their sword and grabbed a torch, the three then stepped inside the tunnel to begin their venture.
"Gods it's chilly here", said Elijah
"And don't forget! Creepy as fuck!", added Ylsil. "Man I swear, this is a goddamn catacomb there are skeletons everywhere, look! A skull!
"Shhh!! If this is really a catacomb then shut it, you might wake up the dead", said Ryst as Ylsil drinks a bottle of beer.
And just as Ylsil said that, they heard a clanging sound on the distance.
"Oh fuck me", said Ylsil as he readies his sword. " I am not going down without a fight! Yah hear me ghost!!!??".
" L-let's just get out of here", said Elijah. "Let's just declare it unsafe and head back".
" I-I agree", said Ryst while shakingly fixing his glasses. "It's better to let the army fight a revenant".
" You spineless cowards, you dare call yourselves a men?", said Ylsil. "I say we charge! And fuck this bastard's undead carcass right on it's pussy!". Ylsil dropped his beer and grabbed a strengthening potion from his belt then injected himself with it.
" Leeeeeeerrrooooyyyy!!! Jeeeeenkkkkkiiinnnsss!!!!", he charged running at full speed towards the shadows.
"Gods, was that steroids just now??", asked Elijah. "Aren't those, expensive???"
" Yes and yes", said Ryst.
In the distance they could hear Ylsil shouting hus usual battlecries.
"Get rekt! Get rekt! Right in the pussy!! Zantetsuken!!!! HAHAHAHA".
And then silence fell, the laugh was the last they could hear.
" I guess he did it...", said Elijah. "Wow those strengthening potions must be very strong"
" Y-yeah...", replied Ryst. "Let's go get Ylsil"
The two then ran towards the shadows, and with Ryst carrying a torch. A door hiding in the shadows revealed itself.
"This is probably where Ylsil went", said Elijah as he opens the door.
And in all of a sudden, claws came out the door headed straight to Elijah's chest, stabbing him.
" Holy shit! Undead!!!", said Ryst.
"The head of the undead came out, it was red covered in blood and it's crown is spiky like a tree"
"T-teedddyyy...", It spoke.
" Ryst! The torch!! Kill it with fire!!!", said someone inside the room.
And thus with the will to live, Ryst quickly set the undead tree on fire, burning it like good firewood.
"Ngggaaaaaahhh!!!", it screamed as it puts out the fire on his face.
The fire quickly spread through it's body and engulfed it on flames. In a just one minute it turned to a pile of ashes.
"Holy fuck! Holy fuck!!", said Ryst. "Holy fuck! Elijah! H-he's.. Ylsil!"
" Right here bro", said the voice inside the room. "Hurry gimme some healing potions".
"R-right! I-i have penicillin, wait I'm coming", said Ryst.
"Oh gods,Ylsil..."
"What? Stop derping and give it to me quick!"
"I don't think penicillin can cure this."
"Man! Just gimme the damn potion!"
"Stop fuckin' screaming you damned noob! You're lower body is missing!!! The only thing holding you together is the steroids you took earlier!!"
"Oh god... Where is it? My lower body?"
"I uhh..."
Ryst took a look around, he saw two skeletons one of which was writing seemed to write a book, the other has knife on it's head. He looked up he saw Ylsil's half, hanging on the ceiling.
"It's on the ceiling Ylsil"
"God's... I probably don't have much time. So do me a favor tell my wife I love her, also o-our b-b-baby take c-c-care of him p-please, I-want you to be... His u-uncle...."
And with that Ylsil bid his farewell to the world... Ryst grabbed the skeleton's book and proceeded out to tell the other's what happened. Soon knight came and arrested Ryst, for the accusation of murder for no evidence was found of the existence of the undead tree.
Years later a certain nephew visited his uncle in prison. The uncle told him the only story he has on his hand... Greg's Diary
