Ch 96: It's because of Lack of Sleep - Part 2

Selene stepped through the shimmering blue gate, and the world around her transformed. 

Instead of the harsh, rocky landscapes typical of C-ranked dungeons, she found herself standing in a vast, flowery field. 

The sun hung in a pastel sky, its light diffused and soft. 

'So this is the dungeon I heard about? It doesn't look anything special. But it's very beautiful…especially these flowers…no, stop it! I need to stay awake and vigilant. I cannot let myself stagger like this.'

She swayed, knees buckling as if the ground itself was pulling her down.
