With an interruption, it is to be so.

Your fascination with going over Lunalius' strategy is quickly ended as you realize you have been neglecting the message channel. When you do at last look back, you are met by quite a few new notifications and quickly scramble in order to make sure you catch up.

It all started with where you had left off.

{Moon_Chaser} Next I hear from you, you are going to say you wish you had heard that foul king's speech in person.

{Lychester} Well of course I would! It is the single largest moment in all of history! And no writers agree exactly on how to portray it. I see no reason not to desire to hear it for myself.

{Moon_Chaser} It isn't written consistently because what occurred was so horrible in so many ways, every last person had to block out some fraction of it to remain sane. I am of the mind that that bastard is the core reason Metlo lost his mind, because he was the only one of us who refused to give up those memories.

{Final_Throne} Please take a rest Luney, the kid doesn't understand. He didn't see it, and take that as a victory, that noone will have to see that again.

{Lychester} Did you see it?

{Final_Throne} I wish I could confidently answer that. I once tried to infiltrate the mind of one of our colleagues who couldn't get proper rest due to trauma. When I went in, I found vestiges of that speech and those horrors on that day. I don't know the details, but what I know is that I got off lucky on that front.

{Grave_Keeper} We are all getting depressed now, shall we change the subject?

{Wicked_Wurm} Indeed, how about we get back to the newcomer? I missed their introduction.

{Gold_Blade} He seems to be silent at the moment, so I'll recap. Undead Raid Boss in the desert, started out as a Raid Boss right off the bat yesterday.

{Moon_Chaser} Raid Boss at the start? Means it was by location, right?

{Netherus} So sorry I was gone, I was looking through the manual to check on some things I was reminded of. Indeed, my location seems to have decided me to be a Raid Boss from the beginning.

{Moon_Chaser} Interesting... I'll put some thought into that.

{Lychester} Does that mean you are at an important historical location? O~, I can't begin to ponder what magnificent places you could now hold!

{Frosted_Flayer} I don't think there is anywhere interesting in the entirety of that giant sandpit. Only spot that I have ever looked into is the Torrent, but nobody will tell me anything about it.

{Moon_Chaser} For damn good reason. I don't even allow the dragon twins access to the torrent, so there is no way in hell your adrenaline junky ass is even being told its general location. To go beyon

{Moon_Chaser} Oh god damn it

{Final_Throne} What? What's the issue?

{Moon_Chaser} Sorry your majesty, but I'm gunna have to shut down the channel for a time

{Final_Throne} Why, what's going on?

{Moon_Chaser} Some dumbass adventurers decided now, at midnight on a full moon, was the perfect time to raid my realm. You of all people know policy, I can't just leave it to you.

{Final_Throne} Understood, just don't go too hard on them alright? Sometimes being more aggressive just makes them want to have the prestige of beating you on "Hard Mode".

{Moon_Chaser} Yeah yeah, I get it

[The channel has been temporarily muted by part-owner: Lunalius the Moon Chaser, no messages can be sent until it is unmuted by them or another with part-owner authority.]

With that eventful end to the discussion, you are left in silence. You can't imagine who would be dumb enough to actually try and raid Lunalius, he was by far one of the strongest beings you had ever heard of.

There were other things of interest that came from this as well though. Lunalius was most certainly a veteran of the first world event, something you did not know before. To add to this, there was some major event during said world event that caused permanent psychological damage to every being that witnessed it, from the sound of things.

You cannot begin to imagine what kind of horrific things would have to occur to cause someone as legendary and utterly terrifying as a Realm Lord to provoke somewhat noticeable fear at the very mention of it. You could feel near genuine rage from him at the thought that whatever happened was something to take interest in like Lychester had suggested.

But, even with that, there was one more piece of information from that specific chat that seemed the most immediately useful. The mention of a location called the "Torrent" you were not certain, but it sounded far too familiar to let go.

It seems to be perhaps related to the first world event, seeing as Lunalius reacted to it in a similar way. That information alone makes it related to you in a way, as the only other unique location in this region of a comparable age would be the very tomb you were standing in.

You look around, noticing that Sahara seems to have found a way to make herself comfortable and has already gotten to sleep. For the first time in a very, very long time, you feel like getting rest yourself. You can't quite explain why, it just feels like the right course of action.

As you find a comfortable spot to rest, you lean against the wall and stare into the darkness outside your entryway. There is so much out there you have never gotten to see, and you aren't sure if that will change now, due to your new post. Before you simply respawned here, but now, you feel responsible for it. You are the keeper of the tomb now, whether you like it or not.

For now, you settle on the fact that you do as you find yourself seemingly drifting off to sleep.
