Devlin fell down gasping for air. His vision felt like it was fading and he could feel the blood trickling down his head.

Whenever he successfully stabbed the panda in the eye it swiped his huge paw across hitting him square in the c.h.e.s.t. He was sent flying into another rock a few yards away. When he fell down, a huge crater could be seen on the side of the rock displaying how powerful that strike was. Fortunately, the panda was pre-occupied with all the pain it was still dealing with. Leo came over to Devlin's side and lifted him up on his shoulder. They soon began to flee from the scene as quick as they could because they knew that if they stayed there any longer then who knew what else would come.

Although the Panda was injured, it still had the strength needed to take both of their lives anytime it wanted to.

———-

In this barren cold Desert, you could see two lone survivors trying their best to stay alive. Eventually, they came to a stop next to a little pond with a huge ship crashed next to the side. Leo laid Devlin on the side of rock close by. He then walked into the gaping hole on the side of the ship hoping to scavenge any food and water that they may have left behind. While Devlin was waiting, he ripped off a piece of the old clothing he had wrapped around his waist, dipped it into the water and tied it around his forehead. Then he tried asking the Codex for any information on the Panda they just dealt with but still had no luck. It seemed the only thing the Codex was good for currently was finding out where you were. At first, this didn't sink in but the next second Devlin's eyes widened.

"Codex pull a map of the area and locate the nearest city"

Although Devlin had plenty of experience surviving in the woods, they still needed supplies and not only but this is also a foreign world that's already surprised more than once.

A map popped out from the ring in a holographic form that told detailed areas and within a 5-mile radius as well as confirmed Devlin's guess. The only thing the map couldn't do was show the location of life forms within the area.

At this time, Leo came back carrying two cutlasses and backpack from the pirate ship and brought it over to Devlin

"This is about all I could find for now. At least it'll help us defend ourselves better."

Devlin nodded and gradually stood up using the rock as support.

"It seems for starters we just need to find a good place to live in for the time being."

"That is if there are any people left on this damn universe we're stuck in. It can't end like this! I just got this new body. I'm still a v.i.r.g.i.n bro!"

Devlin rolled his eyes and flicked him on the forehead, "Who knows, but you know there's a thing called too much information. Now start walking otherwise your gonna die a v.i.r.g.i.n quicker then you think."

Leo's mouth instantly shut and had one hand covering his crotch and the other holding onto Devlin over his shoulder. He then started walking in the direction that Devlin pointed him towards. At first, he was reluctant to head that way considering the land didn't have that many surroundings that could cover or hide them if they were under attack, but after a half a day passed and he was about to give up he noticed some patches of grass that resembled wisps of flames in bright multiple colors. They were now close to the edge of the 5-mile radius and were nearing the path that Devlin saw on the map.

They both were surprised and drew closer to a patch. They cautioned themselves as they drew nearer, however, the weird thing was it didn't give off any heat. In fact, it felt more soothing as it gave off a pleasurable fragrance. They couldn't believe their eyes as they believed that this was something could defy all common sense and could be worth a lot even in this world. After they plucked a few, they continued their way throughout the Lost Sahara.

Directly after they turned the corner from behind a huge rock that was cutting them off from seeing up ahead, they straightaway felt awkward as the sight ahead of them made them apprehensive about whether this multicolored grass was special or was it as common as dirt in this world.

By now, they both were a bit used to being shocked by how insane this world actually was, but they still felt embarrassed about how they thought they came upon a treasure. They quickly recovered and started heading along the dark granite road that was the same one Devlin spotted on the map back then. Around an hour in, they came upon a large circle-shaped area with a golden platform in the center. In the center of the golden platform was a tall and bleak obelisk with 5 pillars on the edges. The golden platform had hieroglyphics signs circling it all around connecting the 5 pillars to the obelisk in the center. Leo gasped with a hint of excitement.

"Look, Bro, it's also got those hieroglyphics on it just like the strange tunnels we came through to get to this world. Maybe it could take us back to Earth!"

Devlin's eyes flickered when he heard this but he still rejected the idea immediately.

"I doubt it, Leo, it can't be that easy otherwise everyone back on Earth would've found this place and it would have caused a great commotion."

Once Leo heard this, he sighed and knew that Devlin's claim was probably correct, nonetheless, maybe this obelisk could at least take them somewhere safe. Devlin saw his brother sadden and said, "Maybe it could take us to a place that has many beauties and food around though," hoping to cheer him up a little.

Leo knew what his brother was trying to do, but he still felt a lot better hearing it.

They walked up to the steps of the platform and got near the obelisk to get a closer look, however before they could get any closer, a bright light surrounded the platform and all of the hieroglyphics lit up in the commotion. Devlin who had just regained his strength and was beginning to walk by himself stumbled over. Before he even hit the ground his vision went blurry and felt a tingling sensation as his body was sent flying through the space continuum. The only thing he could catch sight of before the bright lights teleported them away was a square plate on the obelisk that read one word. Andromeda.
