Chapter 24 - The Forsaken Ruins 01

-1 hour later…

I drank plenty of fluids and ate…

Just in case I get trapped in the game again, this time I'm prepared in advance.

If I get stuck in the game one more time, I won't log in again and I'll file a complaint…

After all, I have nothing to lose.

He steps into the capsule…

Welcome back, Player KπΩX…

Council Meeting starts in 1 hour…

Kaelion: Council meeting?

Ah… right.

That forced team style thing I got dragged into…

What does it matter? I'm in the depths of hell, and they're in a corner of heaven.

At the very least, I need to be in heaven to meet them.

(carefree, he continues his exploration)

Kaelion: My level has increased, and I've gained a new skill plus stat buffs…

Instead of being satisfied with simple wolves, maybe I should check out those Ruins…

The minimum level is 5, so I think my level is enough to take on the creatures inside…

It's a bit risky, but I have nothing to lose.

5 minutes later…

Kaelion: Let's go in… Let's see what awaits me inside.

System Message… Ruins ??? You barely meet the level requirement… Are you sure you want to enter?

Kaelion: The system's warning me… But I'm going in!

Ruins: (Ancient Elf Academy)

Quest: Uncover the secrets of this ancient ruin that collapsed due to magical research…

What magic was being studied in the Ruins?

Why was the Ruins attacked?

Which lifeform attacked the Ruins?

In short… Solve the secrets of the Ruins.

System Message… Beware of traps.

Kaelion: Quite a broad and comprehensive summary…

This long overview shows that this exploration won't be easy…

He takes a step. (click)

Kaelion: Ah? I think I triggered a trap!

(Dozens of arrows fire toward him)

Kaelion: Sh*t!

NULL VEIL

Kaelion: If this happened from just one step…

While the data's still external, I need to move forward as fast as I can…

(runs at top speed)

System Message… NULL VEIL has ended…

He stops.

Alright… seems like there's no trap where I am…

But why? Why were so many traps set up here?

(He looks ahead)

Kaelion: And these marks… what are they? These huge claw marks…

even bigger than Riftfang's…

Whatever or whoever attacked here, they did so without mercy…

Standing still here serves no purpose…

Even if I trigger traps, I have to keep moving forward…
