Arin stood frozen.The massive stone door pulsed with faint red patterns, like veins glowing under ancient skin. The roar that came from inside made the entire cave tremble. Dust fell from the ceiling, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
Arin:"Y–yeh… yeh kis cheez ka dungeon hai…?"
His heart hammered.He had no weapon. No plan. No strength left after running from the goblins. But behind him, the sound of footsteps echoed—they were still chasing him.
Goblin screeches bounced across the tunnel.
Goblin Chief:"GRAAAK! Human… kill!"
Arin clenched his jaw.There was no turning back.
He pushed both hands on the massive door.It didn't move.
Red veins on the door glowed brighter… as if reacting to his presence.Then—
DING!A system notification flashed.
[Requirement Detected][Bloodline Resonance Incomplete: User Lacks Bloodline Activation][Warning: Forced Entry Will Trigger Dungeon Guardian]
Arin stepped back."Guardian…? Yeh kya—"
Before he could finish, the goblins came rushing into the chamber.
Arin's survival instinct kicked in.
He placed both hands on the door again and pushed with every ounce of strength he had.
"KHUL JA!!"
The red veins lit up like fire.A shockwave burst out, sending goblins flying backward.
The ground split beneath him.
And then…
BOOM!
The door cracked open just an inch—Just enough for a blinding golden light to burst out.
A deep, ancient voice echoed:
"Who… dares disturb my eternal slumber?"
The goblins trembled.Even Arin's legs began to shake uncontrollably.
The voice came again, like thunder rolling through stone:
"Child of the Lost Bloodline… why have you come?"
Arin stared wide-eyed.
"Lost… bloodline? Main? Yeh—yeh kaise possible hai?"
The light faded…A silhouette slowly formed behind the crack.
Huge.Golden.Radiating overwhelming pressure.
The goblins didn't hesitate—they ran away screaming.
Arin was left alone.
The voice softened.
"Prove yourself.If you fail… you die."
The door started to open wider.
Arin took a shaky breath and stepped forward.
"Thik hai… aao.Agar meri kismat yahi hai…toh main ladunga."
And the ancient gate fully opened—Revealing the Guardian of the Lost Dungeon.
