O
nce upon a time, a man woke up in a desert. His name was John and he was raised from
a rich family, the Wilsons. Indeed, he was a famous collector. This morning when he got
up, he felt a bit unconscious and tried to remember what had happened to him. He saw a
few men beside him. These were his henchmen. He tried to wake them up but he failed
to. Just then, he looked up the sky above him and saw some strange patterns. He observed over
and over again. He saw a pattern of a rifle and remembered something. On his way home, his fleet
of ships was robbed by armed men. He thought, “Some might be killed there and the others were
caught here. What a grieve day.”
As John got nothing to do for the time being, he started to search for the resources that he
got. He counted and found it wasn’t too many left. Then, he started his adventure.
After walking in the desert for a long time, John finally saw a city in sight. He shouted and ran
towards it. However, he found something was flying towards him. He started to escape and run.
John breathed so quickly but he still continued running. Suddenly, he heard a voice. It said,
“Hello John. Nice to meet you! I know what problems you are facing. Follow me and I’ll help you
get home.” “Who are you?” said John.
After a few conversations, John knew that he was in Gobi desert and the voice was the God
of the region. He got shocked and was sweating during the time being. Therefore, he started to
cooperate with the God immediately. However, the God had a request. John needed to put a bunch
of roses in a household of a country full of devil spirits. John thought, ‘But, what is the purpose?
Sounds nonsense! However, to get home, I must do what the God had asked me to.’ Therefore, he
promised and set out for the mission.
After a few days, John was prepared. He went there with a special bottle of fine wine. He
always drank the wine to get messages from the God. The God told him, “My loyal servant, you
need to believe in yourself. You’ll make a success!” From the message, John knew that the wall of
the country would break a big hole in a few days. He just needed to walk around the city and do
some observations.
“Almighty God, where have you been?” “Why don’t you help me?’ “The guards are trying
to arrest me in these days. Please give me your wisdom and strength.” While thinking of
withdrawing, John saw an amazing thing that it hadn’t happened before. The wall was melting.
Guards were trying to rush out the city.
But they were trapped. John became confident then and walked down the streets and alleys.
He saw arrows flying beside his body. He thought, ‘How dangerous is this!’ He took out a sword
from the God and put it on his head. He swore he would gain the last victory.
In a small corner in the alley, John saw a glimpse of bright light. Due to his curiosity, he
sneaked there and pushed away a bush of grass. There was a message carved on a golden brick. It
said, “It’s your reward now. Take it and do the thing I told you to do so. It’s not time to be a traitor,
otherwise you’ll be punished.”
As John was guided, he went straight ahead to the house. At there, he met the fiercest enemy
in his life. He was shot by arrows from the army. John got up from the covers and used his sword
to fight against the devil spirits. The sword was turned out as a magic wand. The spirits spread
