And then thirteen.
The world flipped upside down as I took that last step.
The room, bright with the sun still up, became as dark as if it were midnight.
Everything in sight was reversed from left to right, as if reflected in a mirror.
The building, like a ruin left untouched for decades, crumbled in places, its debris scattered on the floor.
The countless students that were visible with just a glance had all vanished.
Now, in this dim library, there were only the three of us.
Elisha jumped at the bizarre phenomenon that occurred with just a single step.
What what is this?!
Calm down. And keep quiet. Do you want to spread the news that were here?
Is there something else here besides us?!
Elisha, managing the feat of shouting in a small voice, trembled.
Indeed. The atmosphere here was a bit sinister.
It felt like a building from a horror movie.
On the other hand, Carla said,
Master. Dont stray away from me.
As soon as she sensed something amiss, she stiffened and pulled me and Elisha closer.
Then, after a brief murmur, the incantation followed.
Barrier.
Whoosh.
A translucent shield enveloped us.
Unlike a shield that covered an individual, this was a broad defensive magic covering the area. A precaution against any unforeseen situations.
I patted Carla on the shoulder, who seemed more ready to fight than scared by the sudden change.
Well done. But dont be too tense. Theres nothing here dangerous enough to harm us.
Is that so? But what is this place, Master?
Didnt I tell you? Its like a pocket dimension.
A pocket dimension? So someone created and hid this space?
Um not exactly. Its more like a space that accidentally formed.
Carla, still on guard, and Elisha, now a bit calmer, took out her wand.
With a shrug, I continued.
The Academys grounds are vast, but the actual usable space is even larger, right?
On the Eurelia continent, spatial distortion magic was widely used.
Though not to the extent that it was common.
It was usually applied to high-end things.
A portrait that cried blood, tears, and scattered curses around.
A lute that played itself and trapped in an inescapable illusion.
A broken golem that wandered between buildings and smashed everything moving.
The 13th step that pulled one into another world without a chance to resist upon stepping on it.
A human model that wandered in search of living people to fill in its missing organs.
A full-body mirror that spat out the doppelgnger of the reflected target until the original died.
And the last ghost story that must never be known.
The lineup felt oddly familiar.
When playing the game, I used to enjoy it as a homage to the seven school mysteries everyone heard about in elementary school.
But living on the Eurelia continent now, my thoughts are a bit different.
I felt it in the night story section, too, but it seemed like people thought alike after all.
Anyway, when listed like this, it looks quite terrifying, but its not necessarily so.
First of all, whether it was a ghost or a bluff, it couldnt move once hit with magic.
After all, it was a magical phenomenon, so it was only natural.
Moreover, the ghost stories emerging from this space werent even real ghosts.
Strictly speaking, they were just formless fragments of energy wearing the shell of ghost stories.
Therefore, they were not very powerful and were more like phenomena without any intelligence.
Still, its true that theyre tough for ordinary students to handle but were not at an ordinary level, right?
Ha, but my sensitivity is normal! Whats that disgusting thing?
Near the library, in the building of the Divinity Department.
As we entered, it wasnt long before Elisha was horrified by the sight of a human model running towards us from the end of the corridor.
Despite its stiff movement, it was scary to see, as it seemed to bleed like a real person, showing off its soft muscles and organs.
I was also startled by the grotesque appearance, which was different from when I saw it through the monitor.
But
Cold ice, grind your sharp teeth. You are solid fangs.
A large ice spike formed in the air, aiming precisely at the model.
Then, the activation word followed.
Ice Fang!
Swoosh!
The rapidly fired ice spike pierced right through the models chest.
Thud!
The model staggered for a moment, as expected, from magic second only to rock in stopping power. Of course, since it wasnt a living creature, this one hit couldnt bring it down but what was important was that magic worked on it.
A squelchy sound of blood from afar set the mood.
Something suddenly popped out and charged at us.
And lastly, each of their appearances that instinctively evoked disgust.
Each one was terrifying, but in any case, it meant they could be taken down.
I flicked my chin at Carla and Elisha, who relaxed after being tense, realizing the ease of the situation.
What are you doing? Did you forget what I said? Just launch magic first and see?
Yes!
Ah, I know that, okay?!
Swoosh, swoosh.
Thud! Thump!
That day, the human model received four more ice spikes.
It was summer.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
