Chapter 21
Chapter 21
After we explored that cave we found underneath and inside the cliff we just climbed down and found that mysterious looking underground fall and pool, Lucrane then erected a barrier around the entrance of the said cave. The said barrier is more of an illusion one, she erected it so that no one but us or those that are blessed by luck or fate, also those we deem worthy to see it, could enter the said cave for a reason that the said fall and pool would fetch for almost 5, 000 platinum coins for how mystifying and divine it is.
If a person with great greed could find this, though they can't bring the said pool back to them, they would try to monopolize it as those water from the pool is enough to fetch at least 500 gold coins per vile. So rather than seeing some bloodbath staining our tower, she rather make it a secret. And also
"If anyone from the other tower manager found an inkling about this water, they would try to snatch this place from our grasp by raiding our tower and we have no power to stop them. So it is much better to hide it sooner than later"
Is what she said. Finding nothing wrong with her judgment, Iratus and I then agreed on her. Right after placing the illusion barrier in the cave's entrance, we then proceed to our exploration.
....
Walking a bit further from the cave as we advanced forward, we then arrived to a bountiful field of flowers, it is the same as that dandelions field we saw outside the tower but much vast and has more variety of flowers blooming across the enter field. Red, yellow, orange, white, and then blue are mixing together in a stunning harmony of color. It is as if a famous painter, painted such scenery with delicate touch and gentle brushes. Polish it the most refined and divine grace, fully engraving the word of peace and beauty in one. It was beautiful
There were also some trees growing around the field, making it more livelier and magnifying. Sunlight pass through the thick lushes of leaves of each tree, lightning the vast field even more to its dazzling beauty. The said field advanced much further forward then spread in great length from each side, it was magnificent to see, adding the silent whisper of the vicinity, it was a perfect stroll for quiet walk.
.....
After we pass through the field we then continue advancing forth and found 2 massive trees standing a distance from each other in a horizontal line, towering the other trees around with their might. The said trees formed in a shape of a mushroom with its thick leaves. Their trunks were like snakes, stretching out to reach the heaven with their branches coiling and twisting.
And seeing them made me thought
"This is an ideal one to make a tree house"
"Indeed"
Lucrane then agreed to my remark as she gaze at those towering trees with awe. It wasn't a shocked as she lives in a house build at a tree
'More or like a mansion than a house though'
"Maybe we could build a house in each with the other as the living quarter and the second as a meeting place or a discussion section, what do you think?"
I asked
"We could only build a bridge connecting the other side"
"...."
Lucrane didn't yet answered to my inquiry as she silent stared at those giant trees. Looking at each side with a calculative look, she then nodded. Though I suggested that
"Who is going to live here anyway? Us?"
"It doesn't really need to live here just because we build a house to it, you know? We just hang out in this place from time to time, basically another house for us to settle in if we get bored or find a place to just relax or something"
"I see"
Well indeed that would work
"It is feels like eloping"
I out of nowhere spoke
"Eloping?"
'Oops'
Cough Cough
"It is.... Nothing"
I said, feeling embarrassed to what I just spoke.
"Now I am curious about it, so what is it anyway?"
Scratching my head as I averted her gaze, I then have trouble explaining until I heave a sigh and spoke.
'Well whatever'
"Well....."
"Well what?"
"Eloping is a thing done by.....couples or lovers-"
"Lovers?"
"Shhh, I am talking"
I said as I interrupted her. Lucrane then frowned as she heard my words and crossed her arms as she gaze at me
"Like is I said, it is were when they wanted to get together or live with one another but wasn't agreed nor approved by their parents, maybe because their partner was someone their family doesn't like or just not on their standard, which is pretty normal in my world. So rather than living in such life, they rather go far away from their home and lived with their love and get married without them knowing nor having their parents consent"
"And you....think this is the same?"
She stated with a mocking smile on her face. Really embarrassed to it, I then replied as I raised my shoulders up
"Well.....maybe?"
Snort
"Hey come on now! Though we aren't lovers, living together in the same roof as a man and a woman does felt like one you know?"
"...."
Lucrane then stared at me with a judgmental eyes and grinned which made me so irritated, wishing I didn't thought of it
"So don't ask why you are still single"
"Wow..... Thank you for your honesty"
"You are very much welcome"
She then gracefully bowed in a teasing manner.
"..... And don't worry about me anyway, I am just background character here"
The 2 of us then looked behind us and saw Iratus making a deadpan expression. Lucrane and I then just chuckled.
....
After walking for a while now, night then came, so we settled down as we camped inside the thick forest and build our camp fire and cooked our meal.
During the day we mostly encounter thick forest and transverse it. Then found some gigantic mountain and majestic rock formations. We also then stumbled unto a small lake. We didn't found anything interesting other than deep forest, tall mountains, small hills, then some wide plain. Right after that was another deep forest before we took out lunch at a hill. We grilled some meat using the chicken skin oil I made and boiled some potatoes for our lunch.
After we rested a bit, we then continued our journey. Our exploration from afternoon till evening wasn't that different, except for that massive boulder that was placed in between a two hills with a giant tree like a Japanese bonsai on the left, and a bit smaller tree that looks like a hand unto the right. The said scenery doesn't give off a mysterious vibe but does procure our interest on it so we look at it at a closer look.
Iratus observed that hand looking tree while we inspect the bonsai one. The said bonsai tree has really the same design as those japanese bonsai decoration back in my world. It has a lavish thick leaves and light to dark brown coat. Other than how big it was, there is nothing more peculiar to it. That small looking hand tree that was being survey by Iratus wasn't also strange. Other how magnifying the two were, nothing nostalgic nor anything special to it.
The boulder that was placed at the center of the two hills has a shape of an egg. It has scales around its skin and strange, blurry rune that was carved at its center. The said rune already lost its shine as times goes by and only a bit of its part remains. After finding nothing unusual to this egg like boulder and those trees, we then continued surveying the 2nd floor and further move forward.
We continued further forward, crossing a deep forest, walking down a wide plain, seeing peculiar sculptures of rocks, massive mountains, bountiful field, and some wide to small lakes or river. Right after that, we then took our stay at the deep forest and rest for the night.
Spark Spark Spark
"Foudn anywhere to spawn those {Nero Rabbits}?"
I asked as I waited for the hot soup to be finished. I was sitting upfront of lucrane wile Iratus was laying down at my left. Lucrane took the charge of our meal tonight.
"We already found where we place those {Goblins} anyway, any place you have took a liking?"
Crackle Crackle Crackle
"I will place the summoning circle for the {Nero Rabbits} in that flower field we pass through right after that cave we discovered"
"In that flower field?"
I inquired, Lucrane then nodded to my words.
"That is a best place for them to populate themselves. Those flower fields will act as their food source for the time being until they grow their numbers"
"How many will be summoned anyway?"
"There will be at least 30 {Nero Rabbits} to be summoned, including 10 female ones. Right after they all got summoned, the summoning circle will dissappear. Those 10 female {Nero Rabbits} can give birth to 15 babies with average number of 7, with 4 to 5 weeks of being pregnant. So at least a month, we could at least expect 150 increase of this monsters population if those female's give birth to 15 each, or 70 younglings"
'That would be 450 {Nero Rabbits} in 3 months or 210, impressive number I say'
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
Baby rabbit has higher survival rate if they are being cared by their mother while only 10% could survive if they aren't so it is illegal to take care of baby rabbit, especially if they are still quite small
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
".... With 20 male {Nero Rabbits}, it wouldn't take a day or 2 for those females to get pregnant"
I jokingly stated.
'Well, rabbits are lustful animals anyway'
As I was thinking that, I suddenly then realized
"Wait, if we place those {Nero Rabbits} a bit further from the temple, what will be the source of food for those {Goblins} then?"
"Well, though they aren't the same with the {Orcs}, {Ogres}, and {Minotaurs}, {Goblins} can still survive without eating for at least a 4 to 5 days. So with those days, I think the female {Nero Rabbits} should be at least pregnant. If the male ones are being hunted, as long the female ones survived, they can still populate and increase their numbers"
"I see"
'That is indeed a good decision to make'
I complimentaryly thought. If we place those weak ones a distance from their predator, we can at least stall some time for them to copulate before being hunted. If we assume that only 5 of the females survived, they can still give birth to 50 babies.
"I will still place 1 [Gray Wolves Summoning Circle] just a distance from the temple"
"Why?"
"So that their will be a competition among them. The {Gray Wolves} will be occupied by the presence of the {Goblins} to look for the {Nero Rabbits} and vice versa. With that, I can say that we can at least stall some time for the {Nero Rabbits} to have more succession in increasing their numbers. Those {Wolves} will also be another source of food for the {Goblins} for the time being before they change their tactic and try finding something else"
'Yet another good choice to take, Lucrane does deserve the seat for being the leader of this tower'
I thought, which is true. Not only does she account the present circumstances of those monster she was about to summon, but also their future succession.
"I will place 1 [Gray Wolf Summoning Circle] at some part of the thick woods so they could at least sharpen their senses when hunting, whereas I will place 1 [Goblin Hobbit Summoning Circle] just a distance from the entrance of this 2nd floor, and 1 near those hills"
"I see. By the way, what level does those {Nero Rabbit} reach? And what classes do they have?"
"{Nero Rabbits} could only reach until level 35 before they evolve. Upon being summoned, they gain a level of 20 as the highest"
"Level 20 ha"
"Those are only for the alpha, whereas the followers will only gain level 15 upon being summoned. {Nero Rabbits} has only 4 evolution, namely:"
×{×<<<<<>¦[NERO RABBIT EVOLUTION AND THEIR LEVEL]¦<>>>>>}×
Black Jack - - - - > level 121 - level 150
Gray Devil Nero Rabbit - - - - > level 1 - level 120

[Rare Class]
[Berserker] (could only be obtain when nero rabbits reach level 80 and above)
×{×<<<<<>¦[=+=+[=+=]+=+=]¦<>>>>>}×
"{Nero Rabbits} are one of the weakest monsters, so they are being hunted for easy prey. And as they could easily populate themselves, they are no problems in hunting them down, as long they don't reach a certain point of course"
"Why does they only have 1 class?"
"{Nero Rabbits} are only good at front assault, so they are mostly [Berserkers] on them and nothing more, even until now, they were no other classes has been seen among the {Nero Rabbits}. They also can't use magic nor good at assassination and mostly use their horn or frontal teeth when battling"
"I could order those {Wolf} not touch those {Nero Rabbits} for the time being, even guarding if you wanted to"
Iratus then spoke right after we finished discussing.
"That would also help, I will take your offer then"
"Nhmm"
The 3 of us then grown quiet and mostly stayed on our seat as we silently watched our vicinity, and lay down in silence.
Slurp
"Oh, dinner is ready~"
Lucrane stated right after she took a taste of the meal she is cooking. She then took some bowls and started scooping the soup and distributed it unto us.
Spark Spark Spark Spark
We then took our meal in this graceful evening.
...
After waking up and taking our breakfast which is just a roasted potato and grilled meat, we then continue transversing the 2nd floor in our 3rd day in this floor.
Crossing another thick woods and silent plain, we keep moving. Sometimes we turn to our right and further advance upfront, while some other time we take a left turn and continue moving forth.
We mostly keep walking on wide plains then back to the deep woods before we climbed some slope path, rocky roads, and steep trails as we further advance. The further we proceed, the more we found out that the terrain we are walking, the very path we are taking is basically a very humongous mountain. From the entrance towards where we are right now, is mostly a long pyramid stairs. We only noticed this right after we keep on ending at a cliff in our journey, or at the edge of the ground. It was as if we are descending in a staircase. And the further we proceed, the higher those cliff became.
"So the entire 2nd floor is just a giant mountain? What a plot twist"
I spoke in surprised when I found that this ground that I am walking right now is just part of a massive landmass
"It is indeed surprising to find out that this entire 2nd floor is just a gigantic mass of a mountain, never did I thought of such possibility"
Lucrane spoke with awe writing on her face
"Add to the fact that this floor is supposed to be our mining section, what a beautiful poetry. It is either the one who made this is a magnificent poet, or just a pure unscripted play"
Feeling such suddenly surprised and disbelief, we could only awe as we continue further forward.
"Which really beg us the question, what is the end of this trail?"
Iratus then asked
"..... Maybe the foot of this enormous mountain?"
I answered, also quite intrigued on it also
"Or another set of mountain"
Lucrane replied as she glanced at the right side.
"Well whatever it is, we don't know not until we reach its end"
We then continue onwards.
.....
Right at lunch, we took our break near a massive crater that we found. If we climbed this slope, we will arrived at that crater. The said crater could at least accommodate maybe 20 or 30 of our own house, maybe even more. It expand in great distance with uneven slopes, path, and shape. Thanks to my [Keen Eyesight], I could clearly see and further discern this crater and the things around. Trees grows around the area of the crater, there was even a waterfall, 7 to be precise, streaming down towards the center. And at the center of the crater was a tall hill with 4 small tombstones placed atop of it, forming a circle. At the top of the crater, at its edge, there were 12 long tombstone placed, encircling the said vast hole.
Sitting at the chop tree, we took our lovely meal as we enjoy the scenery before us.
"Who do you think made this?" (his talking with his food on his mouth)
Nom Nam Nom Nom
I asked before I started chewing my meal
"Either a huge magic spell was casted on it, or a gigantic beast did it. Either way, one thing for sure, whoever made this is a monster"
Gulp
Lucrane spoke as she swallowed her meal.
"How about you Iratus? Any opinion regarding this?"
Chew Chew Chew
Gulp
Iratus then stared upfront right after he chug his meal down.
"... A natural formation I suppose"
"Natural? You mean to say that this huge crater is nature made and not created by any external force?"
"Exactly. Even back in our world, there are a lot of things there that even how much time passes by, none could still find the source of how it was made, only theory and myths. They are unusual and peculiar, yet still a splendid beauty. They are created from an unknown source, made from a mysterious force, and still keep hovering with secrecy. They hid a lot of mystery and clouded by unknown, but even so, they struck everyone upon their glorious forms"
"..."
Well, Iratus is right though, there was a lot of unknown back at my world, Earth, that even those famous scientist can't even unreveal their secrets. It was said that even the deepest part our ocean was still unknown to many, landscapes that was sculptured from a mighty painter, to our mysterious consciousness. There were a lot of things that is still veil in secrets but decades till centuries past, and none was still answered, "who made those?"
"Are there a lot of unknown back in your world?"
I then glance to my side as Lucrane suddenly asked me
"Yup, there were a lot, totally a whole lot. Like who build that magnifying *temple in India that dated at least thousandths or hundredths years"
"A human I suppose?"
Staring at her as she chewed her meal, I then continue not caring for her sarcasm
"... How it was sculptured and how it was carved was so fascinating and beautiful that many speculated it came from unknown, like from the outer space. It was even said that it was carved from one stone only to make such stunning architecture"
"The same thing they did to the Pyramids of Egypt. They keep saying it was build by aliens even there's an evidence that they mere carried and crafted by human hands"
"Well, humans are fascinating creature anyway"
"Indeed"
Iratus and I then nodded as we agreed. Humans sure do love mystery and conspiracy theory to add myths and legends to anything.
(Author's POV)
As the two mere mocking their own kind, Lucrane was silently watching them with fascinating eyes
'Humans really are peculiar'
Chew Chew Chew
(Vince's POV)
"There is also that **Bermuda Triangle mystery"
"Mystery on what?"
"Like how anyone pass on it will suddenly disappeared and will never be found, and if they did, they left mark of mystery on it, like how they disappeared and so on. A lot of speculation came in like alien abduction, that electro something in that area"
"Electromagnetic waves or field"
"Or natural disasters like giant waves or the likes, but still none could answer those mystery on it, so Bermuda was left as one of the mysterious places in our world"
"Another one is the Crooked forest in Poland"
"Crooked Forest?"
Lucrane asked which was then answered by Iratus
"It was called Crooked forest due to the unusual shape of the pine trees there. Their base made a curve to the side then went straight back up like a hook on a fishing rod. For aymnyone unknown reason, those pine trees grow with such mysterious shape"
"Maybe they were manipulate when they were still growing? Like placing some ropes or something to make them look like that?"
"That theory was also used, apparently some farmers made those pine trees look like that but it seems that area was abandoned during the World War 1, so I was disregarded. But if that was really the case, those farmers aren't right on their heads"
"Another theory to that was a pile of snow that came down, piling across the fields, causing those pine trees to grow in such shape because of those snows weight"
"Then why didn't they supported it?"
"Well for a reason that the other plants around the area was unaffected, so the theory about that snow was disregarded also"
I said. Lucrane then made a "now I am interested" look as she look at me.
"Your world is also fascinating it seems"
Her words made me puzzled, so I asked
"Did none of those other summoned said anything about our world?"
"Do I look that old to you? And beside, those that are summoned are quite secretive about themselves, they keep their own knowledge to themselves and only share to those that are close to them or those they deem worthy enough to hear it"
Lucrane then placed her bowl atop of her legs and added
"Some of those people from your world would rather choose to live in isolation or secrecy. Rather than living in glory and fame, they choose to keep a thick mask and wore robes than to live in spotlight"
".... Meet one?"
I asked as I saw her glancing at the distance. She then look at me before she made a slight smile
".... Might be. It was long ago, I could hardly remember him, even his name was already forgotten. He choose to be the audience rather than the actors in a play. He was quite timid and a small talker"
She then gaze upfront and added
"He meet his love right after an accident, and got married after some months with each other. They live with their 3 kids for almost 5 years, but even with how long they been together, I and him only knows about his secrets"
'5 years?'
"... I have been keeping this for myself and this might be rude but, you are already quite older than what you look aren't you?"
"Thankfully you keep that to yourself or someone will really need to rest for 3 days"
"Only 3?"
I voice out in a joking tone
"Dare me"
Lucrane then glared at me as she said that.
Cough
Averting my eyes away from her, I then continue eating my meal.
.....
Right after we took our lunch we then continued. We observe those tombstone above the crater. Those said tombstone were merely plain tall stones placed atop of that giant crater. There were no engravings of ancient language, nor any runes carved on it. It was completely blank. Just a pure grayish with a hint of silver paint of stone and nothing more. As nothing more to see, as we decided not to investigate the center of the crater, we then moved on.
...
In the afternoon to our 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th journey in the 2nd floor, we mostly encounter the same thick and deep woods, some were hidden in dimly lit while others were being brighten with glamorous light. We also did transverse wide plain, some has lavish grass growing around it with flowers sprouting, while some other were just a plain field, and some were surrounded with trees in different sizes and shapes.
We also stumbled to some wide ponds, small rivers, and deep, vast lakes. Being inhabited by fishes on it, we sometimes took our rest next to them, or eat our meal as we gaze at them for better relaxation of peace and refreshment. We sometimes cross a bountiful flower fields with different varieties of flowers, sometimes it was composed of two while sometimes were being monopolized by one only.
We also did climbed gigantic mountains as we further advance in our exploration. The path sometimes were quite hard to transverse due to their slipperiness and steep slopes and pathway. Some of the paths were filled with large to small stones and rocks, while some of the path towards the mountain was covered in dirt and grasses. Iratus and Lucrane has no problem in climbing such path due to their experience and knowledge, while I was left in a haggard state.
We did also crosses some rock formations with unusual design. How they were carved in such mastery and polished in gentle strokes. Some rock formation can be seen in a shape of different animals or monsters. Bird preying on a snake, a turtle hiding on its shell, some bitten fruits and some chopped one, a ruined right hand, a headless gigantic beast, and many more. There are also some vases like formation, a broken shield with a coffin design, a huge barrel and etc.
In our way we also crossed some caves. They were either hidden in a deep, dim forest or fully exposed for everyone to see. The said caves differ in sizes and shapes. One of the smaller caves has a wide open area that could be use to build your tent, while some were narrow with short passage and no further room to explore. The medium size one was filled with a small ecosystem inside it. And those large ones was a mixture between the small and medium size caves. But none of them were comparable to the cave we saw back then, though there were some small to medium sized underground waterfall inside those caves, but none were miraculous like the first.
We also did walked pass some abandoned structures like ruined temples, though much smaller than that temple we first explored, some completely wrecked houses, and some half destroyed infrastructure. We still don't know why there are such buildings inside the 2nd floor. Without further asking about it we continued.
Some of our resting time, or during morning after waking up and evening before going to rest, we indulge ourselves in the cold water of lakes we stumbled into. Taking a bath in such peaceful place was a gift that even gold can't buy.
.....
In our 8th day of our journey, in the mid morning, we then came across a thick forest of dead trees. It is like those horror theme places with eerie vibes area and creepy tree with thick, mysterious mist.
"A wicked forest ha, a very classic places for horror theme series"
I said which is true, in every horror movies and games, there will be always a wicked and eerie forest
"Should we proceed further?"
I asked, though I am quite hesitant to it explore it I still wanted to see what is inside this forest.
"..... Yeah, I think we should"
That decided, the three of us then proceed forward and explored this wicked forest.
The said wicked forest was merely surrounded by dead, almost black trees. The ground was pave with battered ground and overgrown roots. The soil was being taint in dark grayish paint and some withered grasses around those. There were also some huge rocks loitered around the ground.
As we proceed further, we then came in contact with a ruined, and abandoned house with a rundown well beside it. The said house wasn't that big, maybe with the same size wof our camp. The roof of it has a hole at the left side with broken windows and a battered front door. The wooden staircase that leads to the has has already deteriorated with missing steps and broken pieces. The walls of the house has a lot of holes on it with a bigger one at the front that could totally see the inside of this humble, little house.
The inside was expectedly dirty and dusty with cobwebs scattered around it. It has a chandelier which is quite shocking for a small house to have one. The said chandelier has a lot of missing light bulb with cobwebs and dust covering it. The staircase that lead to the second floor has the same state with the entrance pathway but its handrail is still intact although dusty.
The well on the house left side was still intact with everything on it at its good shape. Though it was dirty, the said well was still quite well-maintained.
".... Should we?"
"No"
And as I ask if we could enter it, Lucrane then flatly rejected my inquiry. So with no room to negotiate, which is surprising for me to do to a creepy house right after experiencing something outside of our tower, we then continue our journey.
Our 8th day here ended with the same courses that we took, wide plain fields, thick and deep forest, wide and steep mountains, and peaceful and stunning, long rivers and lakes.
Our 9th, 10th, 11st, and 12th ended with the same path, though there were quite different uptake than the others but still the same thoroughly. We still did enjoy our journey here anyway, except for the food which is just your repetitive dishes.
'Wish we could atleast bake some bread or cookies, sigh'
Feeling dejected as we climbed down another cliff.
.....
During our 21st journey
"What kind of woman do you like Iratus?"
"What kind?"
"Yes, what kind?"
I curiously asked as we crossed another deep forest. The light glows our way as we pave the path, it was quite soothing as we stroll.
"Hmmm..."
Iratus then went on silence as he tried wracking his brain
"A strong willed woman that doesn't bow to anyone"
"So you like those 6 packs abs mommy to pamper you up as they let you lick their well-trained body then?"
"What?" (both)
Lucrane then suddenly stared at me with a judgmental look with concern while Iratus was disgusted on me as he gazed
"What?"
I asked
".... Now I am really knew the reason why you are still single back then"
Iratus spoke as he gaze at me with a blank look
"Didn't know you have such....complication, you have my sympathy"
Lucrane stated as she made a puzzle gaze that is having trouble to look directly at me
"..... Wow"
.....
During our 24th journey in the 2nd floor of our tower, we then stumbled into a very unusual area. The spot was surrounded with tall and lavish trees, and the center of it was like a bottom stadium with uneven staircase like slopes. And at the side of this area was a huge tree that has a shape of a human or look like a human but in a tree form.
"Are they the {Tree Nymph} you told me before?"
I asked when I remembered, during our journey to Lucrane's house which is outside if the tower, that she mentioned about a forest guardian from the east, and among them are the {Tree Nymphs}.
Lucrane then nodded to my words
"Yes, but this one seems to be an elder as how tall it was compared to the one I have seen"
Lucrane spoke as she glance at that motionless {Tree Nymph}. She then turn his sight towards me and added
"Back then, {Tree Nymphs} are a bit taller than a {Minotaur} while some only reached a height comparable to a medium size tree, but this one is simply gigantic, so I think this is an elder of sort"
"I see"
"Well, I can't say for sure as I never seen as big as this"
There were 5 more of this things that could be seen around the area. Some were in a sleeping position as they lay down, some were like they went on a hard battle and died from the enemy's spear or arrow, and some were merely sitting in a comfortable position.
As we looked a bit more of the area, we then proceed to our journey as nothing noteworthy was found on the spot.
...
"Woah, so the end of this floor is really just the foot of this huge mountain ha, amazing"
"It is indeed amazing"
As Lucrane agreed to my complementary words. We ended our journey on transversing the new floor of our tower, to be precise to survey it at day 27th. And at the end of our journey, we then came at the end of our road as the edge of this floor, this humongous landmass was really the foot of the mountain. We are currently standing at the edge and looking below it. The 2nd floor was truly a much wider place compared to the 1st floor and the ground floorm
The exploration was a joyful and fruitful, though it was truly tiring one to begin with but we did have fun as we venture the 2nd floor of our tower.
"So what now? Are we going to go back and crossed this vast again? I really hate to admit it but I am quite tired of walking this huge place"
I complainely spoke. Lucrane then shook her head and stated
"We can easily get teleported back to the ground floor just by using the tower, if you haven't forgotten that"
"Oh, I think I did"
Sigh
"Right after we get teleported back to the ground floor, I will place all the summoning circle for the new monster to the place that I already picked"
"I see"
Lucrane then swayed her hand on the mid air before she started typing or clicking something. Right after that, a bluish light then engulfed the three of us, signaling the end of our journey in the 2nd floor

*The Kailasha (IAST: Kailāśa) or Kailashanatha (IAST: Kailāśanātha) temple is the largest of the rock-cut Hindu temples at the Ellora Caves near Sambhaji Nagar in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India. A megalith carved from a rock cliff face, it is considered as one of the most remarkable cave temples in the world because of its size, architecture and sculptural treatment, and "the climax of the rock-cut phase of Indian architecture". The top of the superstructure over the sanctuary is 32.6 metres (107 ft) above the level of the court below, although the rock face slopes downwards from the rear of the temple to the front. Archaeologists believe it is made from a single rock.
The Kailasa temple (Cave 16) is the largest of the 34 Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cave temples and monasteries known collectively as the Ellora Caves, ranging for over two kilometres (1.2 mi) along the sloping basalt cliff at the site. Most of the excavation of the temple is generally attributed to the eighth century Rashtrakuta king Krishna I (r. c. 756 – 773), with some elements completed later. The temple architecture shows traces of Pallava and Chalukya styles. The temple contains a number of relief and free-standing sculptures on a grand scale equal to the architecture, though only traces remain of the paintings which originally decorated it.
**The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an urban legend focused on a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The idea of the area as uniquely prone to disappearances arose in the mid-20th century, but most reputable sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery.
Famous of its tale is the Mary Celeste, where an abandoned ship was found with no crew inside. The life boats was I tacked and everything was normal, except for the 9 empty barrels and a sword found on the deck. Discovered in December 4, 1872, stranded on the sea for days right after they started their journey from New York to Genoa, Italy.
There were seven crew members and Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife, and their two-year-old daughter aboard the vessel, loaded with raw alcohol. Theories surrounding the mystery of the Mary Celeste also included the chances of a criminal conspiracy, alien abduction, and even an attack by a giant squid.
The possibility of a natural disaster was also on the list. Many suggested the role of an undersea earthquake behind the accident, while few proposed an accidental foraying of the vessel into the Bermuda Triangle.
However, as much as these speculations seem reasonable, they clearly don't fit. After all, why would a perfectly skilled crew on a good weather day, with their ship entirely uncompromised, abandon it and then never surface again?
