Death... and me

"Fuck this shit! Is he crazy?! What the hell are we going to do now?" Rean and Roan were enraged. Even Roan, normally cold and calm, felt his blood boil.

Roan quickly came out of the pod of green gel and made his way to the exit. However, his long hair got stuck on the pod, almost making him trip back.

Rean also came out and took more care while holding all that hair on his arms. "Isn't there anything to cut all this hair out?"

Roan, who was pulling his hair from the knack in the pod lid, complained. "If there was, do you think I would be going through all this work? Help me pull this shit. There is too much."

Rean also grabbed Roan's hair, and together, they managed to rip it off while falling back on their butts. Let's not forget they were both naked at the moment and still all covered in that green gell, so it wasn't exactly easy to get some grip.

Rean took a look around and could see they were inside some cave. Other than the pods they came out from, it was truly nothing but a common small cave. "Oh, there!" Fortunately, he saw a stone that seemed sharp enough and grabbed it. Little by little, he began to cut, finally getting rid of all that hair. "Here, take it and do it yourself."

Roan nodded and also cut his hair into a short and messy one. At least their hair didn't bother anymore. "Let's go out and see where the hell Hex left us."

Rean had the same idea, and they walked to the cave's exit. Soon, they noticed they were on the top of a hill. In the distance, a small village could be seen. It was even smaller than the Varen Tribe they were born into before. They looked at each other and nodded. They could only go down and check it.

As they walked down, Rean couldn't help but ask. "You don't really think we need to cultivate all over again, do you?"

Roan shook his head. "We are without cultivation and are now mortals. However, that's where the difference stops. Check your soul, and you will see it."

Rean concentrated and narrowed his eyes in response. "I don't see anything. What are you talking about?"

"Once an idiot, always an idiot," Roan answered without a care. "Since when can mortals check the state of their souls?"

"Ah!" Rean immediately understood. Indeed, they didn't have any cultivation, but they still could feel their souls and their souls didn't seem to be any weaker than before. If anything, it was stronger. "Somehow, Hex managed to recover our souls completely. In that case, we shouldn't have a hard time recovering our strength."

Roan agreed. "That's what I'm talking about."

The soul was the foundation of everything. It controlled everything. It felt everything. It guided everything. Their souls were definitely at the level of a Peak Divinity Realm Expert at the moment. Just as Rean mentioned, their souls grew in strength after their quasi-death, going a stage higher. As long as their souls' strength is intact, the rest would be countless times easier to deal with.

"If our souls are still in the Divinity Realm..." Rean spoke.

"Yes," Roan continued from there. "That means we at least don't need to worry about lifespan. Once our bodies reach the optimal size and strength, somewhere around the age of 25, we won't age anymore."

"That's good." Rean then closed his eyes and tried to feel the environment with his soul. Now that they were outside the pod, Rean was finally able to feel Divine Energy again. "No, it is not Divine Energy..."

"It's Spiritual Energy. We are on a mortal planet in a mortal realm," Roan answered, already understanding what Rean was checking.

Too bad they couldn't use Soul Power or Soul Scan. Both abilities require cultivation to work.

A few minutes later, they made their way down the hill. They were still naked, but at their age, such a thing simply couldn't bother them anymore. The number of naked people they saw with their Divine Senses over the years already surpassed the trillions, after all.

Finally, Rean and Roan saw someone in the distance. A middle-aged man was going back to the village with a huge pile of firewood on his back. He definitely had some cultivation, as a mortal body shouldn't be able to carry so much at once. "Definitely in the third stage of the Body Transformation Realm, Muscles Strengthening." The twins spoke at the same time. The man also noticed the twins approaching and narrowed his eyes. Still, Rean and Roan didn't seem to be more than eleven or twelve, so he came to check on them. "Lamatf weorcti fina?"

Rean bitterly smiled as Roan closed his eyes. Sure enough, it wasn't a language they had ever heard before. Still, Rean had to try and speak. "Errr... Hello there. Can you understand me?"

The man looked as confused as the twins when they heard him speaking. "Tatamen colletus bian ni. Somastfi globf xodui lhara plinenwe."

In the end, it became obvious either side could speak the other's language. Nonetheless, the man couldn't bring himself to leave these two kids to fare for themselves, especially in their state. He was confused as to why two naked kids would appear near his village. He then made a few gestures with his hand, pointing at his mouth.

"I think he is asking if we are hungry..." Rean mentioned.

Roan nodded. "We are mortals, so we do need food again. Let's just nod."

The twins nodded at the man, who smiled back at them. "Holler di."

The man's house was at the border of the village. He lived with his wife, who was obviously confused when he appeared with Rean and Roan. He then gave her some explanation that the twins couldn't understand and gestured for them to follow him into the home.

The next steps were obvious after that. "Well, let's try to learn their language first. We can deal with the rest once we acquire some information."
