So, the front side should lead to the outer palace. And opposite to that, the west should be the backside.
"Now remains north and south"
Right would be the south, the remaining area of the palace. And left is north, in the direction of the throne room.
"Let's go to the left"
[Why do you feel that way?]
"I noticed that the underground palace reminds me of some books I have read about my ancestors"
[Let's go then]
As I continued to walk...ran north, I found the pathway awfully familiar. Someone who has spent his entire childhood here in the palace can easily walk through this underground palace.
In the book of my ancestors, there was mention of many things such as how they conquered kingdoms by doing stupid things.
That is one of the things which I admire about my ancestors.
[It's amazing that you can see everything clearly, even though it's pitch dark]
"It is because of my system, right?"
[Yes, but still. Your system can do anything in your body]
"Well now you have those permissions"
[I am still not used to your body]
"What do you mean?"
[There are many factors that are trying to stop me from controlling your body]
"You mean the parts of the system?"
[Not exactly, it's not just your system. But your body as well]
"We are not compatible?"
[That's not the case. It's something...uhh...unknown]
"Should we take a break?"
[You decide]
"What's the time?"
[It's been 3 hours since we jumped and the time now is--]
"2:12 AM"
[Correct]
"I should start wearing a clock now"
[There is no need. I will keep an eye on everything related to anything]
"You are making me fall for you more and more"
If her body was here, I would love to pat her.
[And do the things to me like you did with Elena]
"That is out of option"
[Why?!]
"I am not doing that stuff with you"
[You don't love me?]
"I do but...I can't think of doing that stuff with you"
[Idiot]
"Let's go now"
I can't afford to waste the time--huh?
[What's wrong?]
"Can't you hear some noise?"
[I hear what you hear]
The sound is like a...I don't know the word.
[Das]
"Hmm?"
[There is a light coming from that side]
"How is it possible?"
It's still night. And we are too deep for moonlight to reach here.
"You bet I am"
I slowly walked to the corner and peeked.
"Fire torches?"
How is it possible that they are still ignited?
True, there are some oils that can burn for years, and they never lose their properties, but...I don't find this convincing.
I walked further, till the end of the fire torches.
There was another passage down there.
"We are not going there"
Let's go back and continue running north.
A trap?
"Check the vitals, Lily"
[everything is alright]
"We are trapped in a room"
I should have guessed that.
This underground palace should be full of traps.
There is no way out from here. Even the floor we fell from is closed up.
Damn ancient civilization!
"Lily, can you use my system to find a way out?"
[I can try, but I am not catching up on any connections and...]
"And?"
[Something is interfering with the connection]
"You should have said it earlier"
[I thought we were deep underground so...]
"It's fine"
There has to be a way out.
This underground palace is full of mechanics, and it's my job to break every mechanic.
"Lily, strengthen my body"
[Done]
I started punching every spot of the walls.
"I guess this is it"
After a rumbling, the wall moved and made a way.
"Great!"
Not only we are lost, but we need to find our way too.
[There is only one way]
"And we have to follow it"
As I ran at full speed, I activated many traps, but none of them could touch me. I was too fast for them to touch me.
As for the traps that came from above, I had a sword in one hand and a fist. All I had to do was smash and cut them.
Pant~~ Pant~~
[You should take a rest now, Das]
"It's been 6 hours! I only have 2 hours to get out of here!"
I don't care about Oyuoral now. I just want to get out of here.
"Daulla will kill herself if I don't make it out in 2 hours"
[Was she serious?]
"She never jokes"
[I am sorry I can't help you]
"You are already helping me enough"
After walking for a while, I reached a bridge.
"The thought of how deep this underground palace is scares me"
[It is built in a way that it doesn't affect the palace]
"Ancient civilization"
I can hear the flowing water sound.
[There is a river nearby]
"Yeah, looks like it"
We can find our way out from there.
After crossing the bridge and walking under a big pavilion.
[We are lost again]
I can't hear the water flowing sound now.
"Whoa!"
[Das!]
A snake bit me.
I stabbed my sword in its head, and it died.
[Are you okay?]
"Yeah, don't worry. I am immune to poison"
[But there is a high amount of poison flowing in your blood]
Are you serious?!
"It should stabilize"
It should, right?
[Don't move for a while. I will boost the process]
"Thanks"
There was a fountain a meter ahead of me. I walked there and sat on the edge--
"What is this?!"
As soon as I sat down, the gas came out from the fountain.
[Get out from here!]
I ran out of there.
Cough~~ Cough~~
Dammit!
I am already thirsty as hell, and now this.
My throat feels so sore and numb.
"It's burning!"
[The poison is all over your body, and the gas boosted its process]
"How much time will it take to stabilize my body?"
[I am doing it as fast as I can]
"Activate master protocol"
[Master protocol activated]
"Try now"
[The poison is stabilized, but it would be bad to move. Your muscles are still being repaired]
"I can't afford to waste my time--aaa!"
[What's wrong? Why are you freaking out?]
"What is that?!"
[There is nothing]
"Can't you see this little girl standing there?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
