Chapter 35: Eternal King Vayne!
"Kill Eternal King Vayne and Get The Key to the Next Floor from his Corpse!"
Damon read the instructions on the stone monument that detailed how he can make his way to the next floor. However, what caught Damon’s attention was the name of the enemy he had kill in order to obtain the key.
"Eternal King Vayne." Damon muttered to himself, that was a legendary name that everyone knew, as he was a tyrannical and immensely powerful person who had slaughtered an immesurable amount of people.
Vayne Luminous was the Prince of a long gone Empire that was called the Luminous Empire back when it had existed. Vayne was never intended to lead the Empire, as he was the Youngest Son. Instead, Vayne had lived a life of comfort that made him complacent and selfish. He was arrogant and overbearing.
Yet, when a freak accident killed most of Vayne’s family, including all of his siblings, Vayne, who possessed neither the inclination nor the aptitude for rulership, suddenly found himself crowned. Vayne however, was a terrible King, who had no idea what he was doing and ran his Empire to the ground.
Eventually, the nobles of the Luminous Empire staged a coup and overthrew Vayne, torturing him and tossing him into the Desert Of Death for him to die a cruel and painful death. With nothing to his name, a broken battered body and a broken mind, Vayne travelled the land, and luckily for him or unluckily for his enemies, Vayne stumbled upon a Primordial Ruin.
Ruins were commonly found across the world, and they could be differentiated into Ancient Ruins and Primordial ruins, depending on their era of creation. Of the two, Primordial ruins were much rarer because they predated ancient ruins and existed since the Primordial Era, the first ever Era in the entire world which ended mysteriously. The average person from the Primordial Era was infinitely stronger than the average person today, and powerhouses from that Era were said to be able to easily eradicate current Kingdoms easily.
The Primordial Era was a time when Gods flourished and Primordial Gods still existed. Lilith, the first ever female demon and first Demon Sovereign and Empress, who gathered the different dark races under her banner as Demons was one of the strongest people in the Primordial Era and Arthur Pendragon, the founder of the Eternal Human Empire, was another being from that era.
After finding a Primordial Ruin, no-one knows what happened to Vayne in that Primordial Ruin, however Vayne left the Primordial Ruin immensely stronger than he had entered. He started off by single handedly slaughtering the entire Luminous Empire and announced himself to the world as the Eternal King.
