Thanks for using your stones on this fic!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch-dark, narrow tunnel, Eden crawled forward, inching along a path filled with years' worth of filth mixed with unidentifiable, slimy substances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he'd used his psyker abilities to create a protective membrane around his body, shielding him from the contaminated surroundings. Despite this, the stench was enough to knock out an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Eden wasn't ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anticipating such an environment, he had instructed Moss to strip this custom body of its sense of smell and taste, making this journey easier to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crawling through the damp, confined tunnel for almost three hours, Eden finally saw a bright light at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people would have been overcome with excitement upon seeing such a sign of escape. But Eden stopped, raised his staff, and fired a compressed psyker blast toward the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ambushing me? Nice try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping his psychic senses active had made a surprise attack impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!The psyker blast struck the light source, followed by a beastly scream that echoed through the passage. The light at the end of the tunnel dropped, plunging the area back into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the screams died away, Eden resumed his crawl, peeking out of the tunnel to survey the scene below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the base of the passage, he saw the creature that had attempted to ambush him: a mutated beast with tentacles, bearing a glowing organ on its head, much like an anglerfish from the deep sea, using light to lure in its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast, maze-like tunnels within the hive had long given rise to unique, isolated ecosystems filled with strange and dangerous creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to records from the Royal Court, over three hundred years ago, a maintenance worker had gotten lost in these tunnels and stumbled upon a tribe of mutant humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These \"subhumans\" had lived in the tunnels for centuries, unaware of the outside world. They subsisted on various fungi growing in the sludge and had even developed simple farming techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the tribe hadn't lost its language entirely, allowing for basic communication. After the subhumans saved the lost worker, he reciprocated by teaching them basic tool-making skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides got along well, and the tribe even helped guide the worker back to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once this was reported, a local officer forced the worker to reveal the tribe's location. The officer led a group of soldiers into the tunnels, massacring the tribe and presenting their heads as proof of \"cleansing\" the area from \"mutants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden had come across this story in the archives while researching tunnel routes, finding it both tragic and absurd. The Imperium's purity standards were ruthless for anyone with \"unclean\" skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden wriggled out of the tunnel, dropping onto the slimy floor below with a sigh. Strewn throughout the sludge were the skeletal remains of dozens of scout soldiers. It seemed the mutated beast had claimed many lives here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the majority of scouts had managed to pass through this area safely. The creature likely only attacked when hungry; in such an environment, conserving energy was a matter of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Eden moved past the beast's corpse, the creature suddenly sprang up, tendrils lashing toward him in a last-ditch effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, Eden reacted with his combat knife, its monomolecular edge slicing cleanly through the beast's head, killing it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A psyker using a knife in close combat—no problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the pit, Eden continued on his journey. Along the way, he encountered dozens more mutated creatures and saw an increasing number of scout corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consulting his map, Eden noted he'd only covered thirty kilometers—less than a third of the journey. By his estimate, half of the scouts had perished just to reach this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following stretch, the scout remains thinned out, suggesting a safer passage ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relaxing slightly, Eden quickened his pace, but his psychic senses suddenly alerted him to a massive danger ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, he felt an overwhelmingly evil presence radiating from a cloud of fog, accompanied by the unsettling whispers of a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's heart raced as he reflexively raised his staff, prepared to unleash a psyker blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing what lay ahead, Eden managed to hold back, barely avoiding a disastrous mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close call.Had the blast been fired, this body would have been done for on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead in the enormous tunnel, a dark fog shrouded a chained, twisted figure. Strewn around it were the dismembered bodies of other scouts—a horrifying sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden was stunned. \"What the hell is this thing doing in the tunnels?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was adaemonhost—a mortal vessel forcibly bound to a daemon by heretical rituals, creating a terrifying abomination. In slumber, the daemonhost emitted a dark mist and whispered to itself in its sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daemonhosts were ferociously dangerous. Once awakened, they would pursue any living creature that disturbed their rest with relentless aggression, only stopping once their target was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those who understood them, however, they were relatively easy to bypass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one avoided the mist or didn't physically harm the daemonhost, it was unlikely to awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With careful, silent steps, Eden pressed himself flat against the tunnel wall, inching along slowly, keeping a wide berth from the eerie mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost there, he thought. Just a little further to safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But halfway across, a blundering teammate appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smooth-skinned, four-legged mutant creature crawled from a side tunnel, snuffling around, seemingly searching for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden froze, holding his breath and praying the creature wouldn't notice him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't see me. Please don't come over here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the creature suddenly turned, locking eyes with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the air was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mutant's face broke into a gleeful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a gleeful screech, it scurried toward Eden, legs kicking wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
