Kane snapped open his eyes, coughing violently and blowing up large clouds of dry dust.

It was pitch black before him, but he thought he wasn't blind, for he could vaguely see the outline of a mixture of blood and earth hanging from his eyelashes.

"Didn't I die in the earthquake? Where is this? ”

He pouted his chapped lips, and the cries of adults and children echoed in his ears in a panic. struggled to get up from the ground, but the sharp pain that involved the heart twisted and swirled in his chest.

"Hey, it hurts, my head is bleeding and my lungs are ......"

The dizziness came over him, like a bomb in his ear, and his eardrums buzzed.

The memories left by this body began to merge, like a spoonful of white sugar sprinkled into boiling water, tossed and rolled down by the boiling water, and finally squeezed and melted by a powerful external force because it was out of place, and became an alien soul.

A world that is both strange and familiar, the Land of Runeterra.

The most dangerous corner of the continent of Shurima, Acacia.

The ignorant villagers, who have lived in this cruel desert for generations, have no idea that the danger has crept underfoot.

The ground is filled with countless void creations, which carry an insatiable hunger, ready to bring about the dissolution of all things.

Undercurrents deep underground, scattered villages seem to survive on the hourglass, and no one can escape when the sand and gravel reveal the all-engulfing maws of the abyss below.

The end should not have come so soon, but the child's unintentional mischief led to destruction.

Kane, the original owner of this body, is only ten summers old and is at the most playful age of his life.

If he were a little older, it would have been easier for him to notice that something unusual was happening in the village—wandering strangers asking for tribute from the villagers every day to sacrifice to the dark forces underground.

The desert days were so hot that Kane and the children in the village had to go out and play in the shade of the night.

That night, they came across a column of goats that had been bought from nomadic tribes for sacrifice.

Driven by the inexplicable child's thoughts, Keisha, a girl who travels with her, cuts the rope and frees the animal, showing off her delicate dagger to her friends.

Kane didn't stop, his attention was on the dagger.

It was a birthday present from Keisha's father when she was eight years old, and every time she took it out in this barren village where there was nothing, she would arouse a wave of envy from her friends.

But no one would have thought that this would be the beginning of a nightmare.

When the new moon came, the cult saw that the sacrifice was not ready, and in a fit of rage, it awakened the void and replaced the necessary sacrifice with a foolish life.

The earth began to tremble, scorching flashes pierced the sky, and the children fled. The bedrock of the earth cracked a deep valley and swallowed the entire village and all its people. Only twisted stone pillars as black as night were left, piercing the yellow sand of the desert.

In the subsidence, Kane fell to his death, and the alien soul who died in the earthquake took possession of his still-intact body.

"Now, my name is Kane. But ......"

The last thing Kane could accept was not that he had come to another world, nor that he had become a ten-year-old child, but that he had been involved in this lifeless affair, and he was not even qualified to continue living.

He plays a passerby who doesn't even have a name, and everyone in the village survives, except for Keisha.

The survivors were buried in the rubble, trapped underground, and their lives died in three days after another.

He is angry, why should he give him hope and let him despair again!

The bizarre impact made his brain chaotic, and fear kept him from moving, but the only shred of reason he had left allowed him to seize the slightest opportunity in the dark, and then quickly calm down.

"Wait! Keisha ...... Keisha should have been trapped underground, too. ”

"Is it possible to survive as long as you follow her?"

The lifesaver seemed to be in front of him, but when Kane reached out to grab it, he hesitated.

"No, I can't do that! We've only just fallen now, and Keisha hasn't lived in symbiosis with the Void yet. My presence may lead to the butterfly effect, and if she doesn't complete the symbiosis, she won't live long, then I'll ......."

Kane gave up struggling for a moment, and lay limp on the rubble to regain his strength.

He knew that the first three days of falling underground would be at least safe, and those Void monsters wouldn't find it so quickly.

The crying that I couldn't understand just now began to become clearer.

"It hurts, help! Save ......"

"Mom, where are you, I'm so scared......"

“……”

Listening to these cries for help, Kane suddenly remembered the biological mother and father of this body, but he immediately forced himself not to think about it, not to torture his already fragile and almost broken spirit.

If you knew how cruel and desperate the underground world was, you wouldn't have said anything about helping each other survive together.

There is no food here, only monsters, and ordinary people without special abilities can't last long under this.

In the end, he either starved to death or became a ration for the monster.

He cannot be bound by morality, righteousness and blood feelings, and must make the most rational decisions.

Don't act! Don't change anything!

The 1 in 10,000 chance of survival is already in front of you, and any move you make may miss it!

Only by resting quietly, recovering the wound and preserving physical strength, can you have the strength to catch that glimmer of life after three days!

Although the thoughts in his heart were almost ruthless, human nature still drove him to move. It's just that after nearly fainting from the stabbing pain in his chest when he got up, he was finally able to give up the idea with a little relief.

"I'm sorry, I want to save it, but my physical condition doesn't allow ......" Even his breathing was painful, Kane reluctantly followed the conversation with his conscience and closed his eyes again.

The cries for help from the survivors still echoed in the darkness, and Kane lay in the rubble waiting for himself to get used to the pain, silently as if he were dead.

He deeply remembered the feeling of powerlessness at this moment, and it was the first time that his soul, which had no quarrel with the world, had such a strong desire to become stronger. At this moment, he is powerless to change his fate, and only by becoming stronger can he control his fate.

Under the cruel law of the void, the weak can only survive by becoming ruthless, and mercy is the charity that only the strong can give.

"Anyone? Answer me, okay? ”

As Kane continued to comfort himself, the girl's sobs drifted into his ears, and she muttered several names in her mouth, one of which was Kane.

With the familiarity of his memory, Kane was sure that the girl was Keisha.

The grit rubbed under his feet, the girl's footsteps drew closer, and Kane closed his eyes and refused to open them.

"Kane? Kane! Are you still alive? ”

Keisha seemed to recognize her playmate, and she crouched down and reached out her dirty hand to press Kane's face, gently pushing his head back and forth.

But Kane held his breath and didn't dare to breathe, and his "death" caused Keisha to fall into despair and fear again.

He couldn't let her find herself alive, at least not now.

Keisha has to face everything alone in order to complete the symbiosis and have the capital to survive underground. She must be tenacious in a desperate situation, but the slightest weakness cannot complete the transformation.

"Woo, you guys talk, I'm so scared alone!"

"What should I do......"

The girl burst into tears, warm tears dripping down Kane's face, making him feel heartbroken.
