They didn't know it, but we were actually perfectly safe in this space.
There was a reason why I had gone to all that trouble to come to this specific area in the cave.
That was because in the game, this area was a safe zone from the monsters of this dungeon.
Of course, that wasn't my only reason for believing that we were safe.
I knew that things that were in the game couldn't be relied on other than information about where certain things were. Things like safe zones were things that were created in the game to help the players and they wouldn't transfer over to the real world.
Or at least that would have been the case for other safe zones.
This safe zone was an exception since there was an explanation behind this.
The designer for this dungeon seemed quite meticulous, so they had even written lore for why this area was a safe place.
