Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

A graveyard, surrounded by walls from all sides... There was not a single entrance to the Graveyard. If one wanted to enter, the only way to enter was by jumping through a ten feet tall wall.

Azekiel saw Lia jumping through the wall to land on the black grass inside the graveyard.

She walked to Azekiel and Raphael. "Are you two fine?"

Azekiel affirmed. Even though his leg was still aching because of being grabbed by the Vines, it was still not enough to hurt him.

The graveyard had many silver tombstones; however, there was one that attracted his attention. A black tombstone was lying in the middle of the cemetery, having a height of three meters. The tombstone was so tall that it was even visible from a distance.

The tombstone didn't have a small thickness either. It was two meters thick, which only became visible when someone looked at it from the side.

Azekiel walked closer to the black tombstone, noticing some skid marks near it. It was as if someone had moved the tombstone many times to leave such marks here.

The Graveyard was as far as the map could lead him. According to the map, this was where his destination was. However, where exactly, even he didn't know where exactly. Seeing the Tombstone did give him some ideas though.

He placed both his hands on the tombstone and pushed him in the same direction as the skid marks. Despite having so much strength, even Azekiel had a hard time pushing this stone. It was just so heavy. Fortunately, even if slowly, he did manage to push the tombstones successfully.

As the tombstone was pushed to the side, a small opening under it became visible, which was hidden by the stone.

Through the opening, Azekiel noticed some stairs that were going down into the darkness.

"There we go, our entrance."

Azekiel went down the stairs, followed by the others. As he stepped foot on the stairs, the tombstone started moving back to its original place on its own. It closed the opening once again.

As the opening was closed, the stairs turned completely dark. Just to get down the stairs, Azekiel had to take each step carefully so as to not fall.

He kept walking down the stairs for twenty minutes straight, but he didn't reach their end. The stairs seemed unending.

"Is there even an end to these stairs?" Lia was the first to ask.

"There must be an end. Just stay patient."

After twenty more minutes and a thousand steps, Azekiel finally felt that he had reached the floor. He tapped his foot ahead, just to make sure. Even though it was still dark, he was sure that there were no stairs ahead.

He didn't need to guess for a long time either. Not long after he landed on the floor, the entire place was filled with light, revealing a beautiful corridor with over a hundred doors on each side of the corridor.

"This is going to take some time..." Raphael muttered, noticing so many doors.

He didn't know what was behind these doors, but he worried that if there was another world behind each of these doors, this was going to take longer than seven days. So far, their luck hadn't been great.

Azekiel walked to the first door, having the same concern as Raphael. Fortunately, as he opened the door, he realized that he was worried for nothing. There was indeed a small room on the other side of the door and nothing more.

Inside the room, he saw a single coffin, seemingly made from wood.

He entered the freezing room and walked to the coffin, wondering if it really contained what he was thinking.

The coffin and the entire room was completely spotless. Not even a single speck of dust could be seen. Even the coffin appeared to be entirely new. However, Azekiel was sure that it wasn't the case.

This place was the real tomb of gods, so he believed that these coffins contained real gods. It was unclear how the gods died or who killed them, but this was the sight of their burial.

He knew it was bad to open the coffins; however, he couldn't ignore the coffin either. There was a possibility that one of these gods in the coffin could have the Stone of Time.

"The Wood from the World Tree," Raphael commented, observing the wood that the coffin was made from.

"I'm sure it's the wood from that tree. Which means the people inside these coffins..." He was slightly taken aback as he considered the possibility.

Since the wood came from the tree in his World, it was highly likely that the Gods that rested here were the ones he knew.

He asked Azekiel to open the coffin.

Azekiel slowly opened the coffin, which was so sturdy that despite being here for thousands of years, it still looked as if it was made just yesterday.

As the Coffin was opened, a man was revealed inside the coffin who appeared to be sleeping peacefully. However, the man wasn't breathing as if he had been dead. A sword wound could also be seen on the chest of the man, making it evident that he was killed with a Sword.

There was not even the slightest decay in the body. Even the wound looked completely fresh as if the war had happened just yesterday.

"Do you recognize him?" Azekiel glanced at Raphael, who appeared shocked to see the face of the young man.

"I do."

Raphael realized that he was right. The Tomb of Gods... It belonged to the gods he knew. "He was the son of the one who cursed me."

"If he is dead, that means his father must be dead as well."

"How can you be sure of that?"

"Because he would never allow his son to be killed as long as he lives," Raphael answered. "The other rooms must have coffins. So everyone was killed..."

He knew the man all too well to know what he was like. "Then again, maybe I already knew that he was dead. The Gauntlets you use belong to him. I don't think you would have them if he were alive. But how could he and everyone else there die? Who could've killed them?"

"If anyone can know the answer to that question, it's Alzeim." Raphael frowned. If he had known about this before, he could've asked Alziem when he met him in the darkness before.

Azekiel checked inside the coffin, even checking the clothes of the young god, trying to look for the Stone of Time.
