[Would host like to upgrade the system to level 2?]
Jake immediately shouted" yes!" he was looking forward to seeing the system's new capabilities.
[System update will take 4hours]
Jake was kind of worried, since he came to Terran he has never been without The system, and he started realizing that has been depending on the system for too long instead of him doing things for himself.
After taking the beast crystal, Jake started heading back to the castle, as soon as he reached the entrance of the forest, he teleported to the Castle.
When he Appeared he was surprised to see that he didn't arrive at the Arcadia castle, but the place he was was a winter land like a frosty forest and it was looking creepy.
"How did I get entangled here, the system I need you, but am all by myself till your upgrade is finished!, where exactly am I?" Jake asked talking to himself.
He tried to teleport again, but it was stopped. " It seems a teleporter barrier has been set up, who exactly is doing this and why!" Jake started to get more worried and was on alert.
"Fear not, I mean no harm, follow the sound of my voice and walk into the forest!"
Jake was startled for a second he stopped and thought.
"So I was brought here on propose, I need to be careful!
Jake thought to himself.
The voice was still repeating itself non-stop, it was as if it was been played over and over again.
Jake started walking inside the forest following the voice, he walked for an hour following the sound of the voice then he got tired and angry.
" Whoever you are!, show yourself, where are you?, I've been walking for an hour now where are you?" Jake asked.
" Just a few meters more!" Replied the voice.
Jake started walking again and after some minutes, he got to a lair, no matter its form, which was an unpleasant, disturbing thing which was creepy, a dead tree, a cave resembling a skull, or possibly an actual giant skull. He stopped at the entrance to the giant skull-like cave, the voice spoke again.
" Come in! don't be afraid!" the voice said.
" I need to get out of this place as soon as possible! I will have to obey the voice!" thought Jake to himself.
He walked in and could see creatures moving and somewhere talking to each other, some eating and all sorts of things.
They looked like creatures he used to watch in movies when he was still on earth.
They were hags, they looked like crooked crones, wrinkled and withered women of unsightly appearance with blotchy skin marred by warts and moles. They all had long, blue skinny fingers were tipped by talon-like nails, and their mouths were filled with sharp, one of them was laughing and Jake could see blackened teeth. Long, frayed hair ringed their creased faces.
In the movies he watched when he was on earth, Hags were horrible witches of wicked intent and ancient origin, dark fey tied to primal forces whose foul magic and mysterious malevolence haunted fairy tales and nightmares.
Equal parts hideous and heinous, hags embodied what it meant to be ugly inside and out, taking on the forms of unsightly old women. They were the antithesis of Feywild natives like the eladrin, for they were warped reflections of civilized beings that epitomized nature at its most repugnant.
He saw a woman smiling at him, Jake would lie if he said he wasn't scared of the place and the creatures.
" Welcome to the Hags world, please follow me her majesty awaits!" the woman said turning and then walking into a tunnel-like area.
Jake followed her into the tunnel-like area, and they came to halt at a door that looks to be a castle door with two female hag guards standing at the door.
They bowed to the hag which Jake was following and then opened the door, Jake and the hag entered and Jake could see a beautiful throne room and a hag who Jake thought to be the queen sitting on the throne.
" Your majesty, here is Jake the king of Arcadia!" The hag who brought Jake said bowing.
" You are highly welcomed King Jake or should I say the chosen!, the one who will save all of Terran!"
Jake wasn't surprised when the hag queen said he was chosen, because he had already heard it from Mina and Floyd.
What he didn't understand was why the hag queen said he was the one who was going to save all of Terran. The hag queen saw Jake looking at her strangely she then smiled.
" Oh am so sorry!" she was holding a stick which Jake then knew was a wand.
She spun the Wang and she was immediately transformed into a beautiful queen who was in her ln her early 40s, she had a few gray hairs on her head and she and all the other women inside the castle were now looking more human.
