Darkness is suddenly illuminated by flaming light, spiraling around the walls as if vines were climbing. Pale fire float in the air, gradually illuminating the interior of the tower.

This is a vast space of several hundred square meters, devoid of any fancy decorations, just hard and thick greyish white walls. The environment is completely barren, a pentagonal altar located in the center, about the size of a room.

At each point of the pentagram, there is a metal pillar, half a man’s height. Under the glow of the flames, they flickered with subdued light.

Standing next to the altar is a human-shaped statue. Its surface is full of cracks and its features blurred. It was this that had made a sound in the darkness, seemingly welcoming Casio.

After a quick glance around the first floor of the tower, Casio walked towards the statue. It was the only entity here that he could communicate with.

“Holder of the Wisdom Runes…”

“My energy is nearly depleted.”

“Everything you want to know is in the Library of Calamities on the second floor…”

The statue suddenly spoke. The next second, it fell into silence. The cracks in its body seemed to multiply.

Casio’s gaze flickered, and he finally headed towards the stairs.

He swiftly reached the second floor. The pale fire lit up once again, illuminating the entire second floor.

It was filled with densely-packed bookshelves, row after row, column after column. Many of the ancient and weighty hardcover books were piled up there.

After a search, Casio found a desk at the very end on the right side of the second floor staircase. On the desk, there was a metallic-feeling diary covered in dust.

After cleaning it, he opened it and read its contents.

1. Theories on the origin of the World of Calamities and map…

2. Classification of calamitous creatures…

3. The Soul Holders and the Wraiths…

4. Comprehensive usage of the Shelter Tower…

Each topic was followed by the location of the corresponding book.

All Casio needed to do was find them on the bookshelves.

Five minutes later, he sat before the desk, flipping through the books.

Initially, Casio thought he had entered a twisted realm, one of the special regions defined by the New Humans.

Only after reading did he realize that the two were incomparable. The World of Calamities is the reverse side of the real world. If the real world is day, then the World of Calamities is night.

Similar to the relationship between the Surface World and the Deep World.

The Surface World representing human rationality, while the Deep World was filled with bestial madness. This place was more like a mysterious, terrifying dream, as well as a bizarre and grotesque Hell.

Beasts roam, the blood moon rules the sky, it is a forbidden zone for the living.

However, there was no World of Calamities in the beginning!

The planet proceeded along its evolutionary development peacefully.

It was not until a certain ancient era that the calamities descended. The world was plunged into turmoil and chaos, with a series of strange events occurring one after another. That bloody era lasted for a long time, until humanity paid a heavy price and temporarily suppressed the calamities.

But, the danger was still looming in the dark, silently accumulating power.

It’s worth noting that the books mentioned that the appearance of calamities seemed to be related to Black Rain Villa. In addition to Black Rain Villa in the real world, there was also one in the World of Calamities.

The reason why Black Rain Villa couldn’t be completely destroyed might be because its true form was in the World of Calamities!

Casio also looked at the map of the World of Calamities. It was a piece of parchment tucked in the book, with an antique pale yellow color.

Very tough, completely undamaged, and easily portable.

The World of Calamities was immense, an infinitely immense, bizarre mainland. It was divided into several representative areas.

Pale Land, Dead Rain Zone, Despair Bone Forest, Black Hills, Crimson Lake, Rotten Swamp, Crystal Sand Sea, etc…

Altogether, there were at least dozens.

This was an extremely wide environmental coverage. Within these areas, there were representative locations. For instance, Ash City, where Casio currently resided, was located on the northwest side of Pale Land.

The Black Rain Villa in the World of Calamities was located in the Dead Rain Zone.

As for these, Casio just quickly glanced over them, thinking to read some of the following information. The calamity creatures, or dark creatures, were essentially deformed and broken in quality.

The Physique, Qi, and Spirit are the three doors that represent the world’s three fundamental laws. Every life being in this world should possess these three fundamentals, which are the pillars that support life. If any one of these is missing, life ceases to exist.

However, with the advent of calamities, the World of Calamities was formed. The life forms born in the World of Calamities have been distorted by the calamities and are missing one of the three fundamentals; thereby presenting an unusual form of life, constantly influenced by the calamities of the world.

They became more extreme, more chaotic, and more animalistic.

Yes, the origin of dark creatures is the World of Calamities.

All dark creatures in the real world initially came from the World of Calamities, reaching the surface from the deep through gaps.

The book contained classifications of the strength levels of the dark creatures.

The lowest level are the beasts, which rely solely on instinct for slaughter and combat, without reason. They are dominated by the chaotic laws of the world.

Next are the wild beasts, more aggressive, more desirous of killing. They possess anger and madness. Although they do not seem to be rational, they do have simple emotional changes.

Then come the Hazard Spirits. They have begun to regain their reasoning capabilities and are no longer disorderly or chaotic. But this means they’re far more dangerous and terrifying!
