Episode 5 : Monster Dungeon (3 / 3)

There was a slight smell of metal in the room. And this led me to the walls of the dungeon. As I was checking the individual ledges, I felt a slight ledge touch my hand. I bowed my head and, looking at the ledge, realized that I was holding a skeletal arm.

I hastily let go of the skeleton arm. Something told me this wall was a trap. Moving away from the first wall, I walked to the wall with more moss tied. The room was big. In the middle was a structure that stood like a dome, strange symbols were eroded. I realized when I entered the room that this structure interested me or was hiding a treasure. But first I had to activate the symbols and open the dome.

As a result of long efforts, I finally came across a sensitive stone while examining my last wall. But it didn't cross my mind to break it right away. This room was a room full of traps. One mistake could have killed me. I marked the place I found with my blind sword, and this time I examined the ceiling.

And this was the best observation I've ever made. I examined the red ruby stones flowing from the ceiling as if they were a ribbon. They all tended towards my current location. Which gave me a slight suspicion. And then I examined the roads where the red ruby stones went. They were all either going behind the wall or on the floor. But only one strip of red ruby had gone towards the dome. I followed him for a while and found myself in front of the first skeletal arm I found.

I grabbed the skeleton arm and pulled it out. The sound of a mechanism rang in my ears. And when I turned around, I saw that one of the symbols of the dome in the middle was shining. I examined the glowing symbol and went to the symbols on the door that I saw at the beginning of the room but didn't pay attention to.

The door was made of wood and there were many cavities. I checked the door for a while, but I didn't find anything. I finally gave up and took one last look at the door just as I was about to leave. But this time, I think I saw it. All these carved points... it was just merging into one part!

This it made me smile. I think I've got it all figured out now! I went to the dome in the middle. I put my hand on the area that looks like a hollow in the door. I woke up with a blood fire without moving my hand at all. My blood on my hand flared up and my whole hand turned into a burnt black hand. Red flames came out of my hand and moved like a ribbon as it spread around the dome. Finally, he found his way, and when he touched the area where the symbol was shining, the room I was in began to shake.

I have to admit that I was a little scared at first. But then I was relieved when the dome opened.

When I looked inside the dome, I came across a ring in the palm of an iron hand, a mixture of red and black colors. I took the ring and examined it for a while. I was already comfortable solving the puzzle here.

After about five minutes of examination, I did not see any malicious intent. That's why I put it on the middle finger of my left hand. When he sat on my ring finger, he squeezed my finger and caused a slight blood to flow from my finger. I was hurt...

When the pain in my finger passed, I looked at the middle finger on my left hand. But this time I was very surprised. There was no ring! Instead, I had a black stripe on my middle finger that went all the way to the wrist of my left hand after turning.

I did some research for a while to examine myself. And finally, I think... I knew I had hit the jackpot!

I decided to call this strange ring the 'Blood Warrior's Ring'. The first thing I discovered was that anything I touched with my left hand could steal the power of magic. The second feature I discovered was that I had a mini storage in my left hand. Anything I touched with my left hand could be stored inside the ring. And I could see all this when I concentrated on the ring. It was as if it had been compressed into a small square.

I put most of the things that are weighing me down in my storage. I only had my sword at my waist and a pair of daggers at my back.

I made my way to the newly opened door in the dungeon. I could easily hear the sounds of my steps in the hallway. Which made me walk down the aisle a little more cautiously. I was most afraid of the empty hallway. A trap and a monster could have come out at any time.

I saw only one trap at the end of the corridor, and I had already passed it, having easily neutralized it. At the end of the corridor, a round structure reminiscent of an elevator was in front of me. I walked right in and looked at the numbered numbers on the wall to my right. I knew my current floor was the seventh floor. However, judging by the looks of it, I was going to come here again. I touched the top floor and activated my magic power.

As I thought, the structure moved and took me to the top floor. I looked at my hair, which was growing until I went to the top floor, and at my hands, which were slightly overgrown. I wonder how long it's been?

I lost my sense of time in the dungeon. I don't even know how hard I worked in the puzzle room. Maybe a week... maybe a month!

As I was walking upstairs, I felt like I was seeing the dungeon from afar. Looking out of the small window, I saw the area where I was fighting on the fourth floor. Then on the third floor and on the second floor...

And when the door opened again, I saw the light emitted by the torches on the first floor. I squinted slightly. I have been using night vision for a long time, and the usual light sources dazzled me.

Moving along the first floor, I saw several traps that I activated. I just smiled to myself and moved on. And finally, at the end of a few hours, I could see the sunlight...

Finally! I finally got out of this place...

The first time I stepped outside, I inhaled the air of the beautiful land. And then I looked at the beautiful view. The brown tree leaves, the overhanging appearance of the brownish branches seemed to me very beautiful.

I followed the footpath and, as there was no carriage to take me, I made my way to the nearest town.

The road took longer than I thought, and it was evening before I got there. I went into the forest before dark to collect firewood. After clearing everything that was going to burn where I was going to burn, I lined up the wood one by one and lit the fire with my blood fire. My stomach rumbled as the fire burned. I didn't see if I had any food in my bag. Because it was over in the dungeon.

While my fire was burning, I took a piece of wood and burned it from the end. Then I extinguished the fire I had lit so that the fire would not spread. I could have turned it back on any time anyway. I was careful not to miss any animals while walking in the forest.

I had not awakened my blood fire because my body was already tired. Hunger and mental fatigue could knock me out...

I don't know how much time had passed, but the weather was slowly starting to clear up. And I finally saw a medium-sized ibex. Most likely, this mountain goat had left its herd and got lost in the forest. And now there was going to be a meal that would go to my stomach.

I took out one of the daggers on my back and cut off the ibex's neck with a snap with a momentary increase in strength while awakening my blood fire. Then I started cooking the mountain goat by lighting a fire right where I was.

After a long time, I smelled the smell of meat. I turned the ibex, and after a long time I began to eat my first meat.

When I finished a whole mountain goat on my own, my stomach swelled up. I went into meditation with your full wife by going up a sturdy branch of a tree.

It was about noon when I opened my eyes. Without wasting any more time, I made my way to the nearby town. Towards night I saw the town from afar. I had about five hours to go. I rested leaning against a tree, as my legs were tired from walking.

I fell asleep because I trusted my sense of danger. The day was just dawning when you opened my eyes.

I got up and went into town. It was noon when I got to town, and it was very busy. There were sellers shouting from my right to my left.

I tried to find a familiar face, but I guess I didn't have a chance this time. That's why I entered an inn. I was covered in dirt and I had to wash up now. I had a small amount of money in my bag that my father gave me just in case.

I went to the inn owner and said, "Hi, I want to rent a room for a week." the woman with the short orange hair looked at me "Little young man Are you sure you have enough money? A week's room costs three silvers and twenty coppers." said.

In the palm of my left hand, four silvers appeared, and I put this on the table, "October you bring clothes and food to my room in addition?" the innkeeper is surprised, "said the young man, of course." he smiled and stroked my hair. I smiled inwardly, I had met a good woman...
