The Second Dungeon

"Ahem, anyway, Alex, are you ready to go in first?" Katherine asked.

"Yep!"

"Here's your sword and shield... You know how to hold a shield, right?"

Alex froze for a second, realizing that no one in his life had ever taught him to use a shield.

The only time he ever used a shield was when he used it as a piece of block in his hand.

"Just use it to block you, dummy. Don't hold it too hard if they are pressing hard onto it."

Alex nodded as he held onto the sword in one hand and the shield in the other.

"Okay, time for you to lead the way."

As Alex strapped the sword and shield to his back and started going down the steep hill, he quickly realized how heavy his gears were.

Even though the armor itself barely covered every part of his body, they were still way too much for his age.

His mouth was already panting from the sheer weight, with sweat falling from his face as he got stuck on one of the rocks.
