Dungeon (5)

After a few uneventful hours, the blizzard finally passed, revealing a massive mountain range illuminated solely by the moonlight.

I could hear the distant howling of Winter Wolves, causing me to tighten my grip on the Katana's handle. Under normal circumstances, I would have retreated to the safety of sleep, but within the dungeon, I had no such luxury.

The possibility of a monster lurking in the shadows, waiting for me to let my guard down, was too great to ignore.

"I'm freezing..."

I muttered, rubbing my hands together for warmth. I dared not create a fire, for fear that it might attract unwanted attention. The smoke rising in the sky of night would be like a beacon, revealing my presence to the monsters.

Crunch...

As I munched on the biscuit I had taken out from my Spatial Ring, I slowly rose to my feet and began moving towards the entrance of the cavern.

It had already served its purpose and staying here any longer was sure to bring trouble.
