"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?"

[There is no one, Das]

Are you kidding me?!

It's the same as LWO.

"That little girl is staring at me"

Dammit!

There is no way there would be a little girl here.

[You must be hallucinating]

"I am not!"

[This must be the side effect of that gas]

"I am not hallucinating"

[Why are you so sure?] 

"Our blood is immune to everything. I have never been sick in my entire life" 

[Really?]

"Okay, sorry. My bad. That was an exaggeration. I have been sick a few times. But what I want to say is that I am not hallucinating"

[If you were really hallucinating then, I would have been able to see it too. As I said, I can only see through your eyes]

"Right?"

So what the hell is this?

The girl's gaze moved down to my legs, or rather, at the side of my legs.

I slowly glanced at the side with the corner of my eyes.

"Aaa!"

There was a little boy standing next to me, looking up at me.

Dammit!

[You saw something else?]

"Can you see--"

[No]

What is going on?

Think rationally.

There is no way there would be a little girl or boy here.

That's right, they are not there.

"This is just hallucination"

[It is not]

"Shut up! Weren't you the one who kept saying 'you are hallucinating' a while ago?!"

[I did, but I can't see it so it's not hallucination]

"I know, I know"

Dammit! 

That's the right thing I should do now.

I don't have time to think about why and how this is happening.

I have to find a way out. Forget Oyuoral.

I can come here some other time with better preparation.

[I think I know what is going on]

"Huh?"

[This happened in LWO too, right?]

"Yeah"

[The only possibility I can think of is....your system]

"My system is doing it?"

[Not exactly. Your system is showing you this]

"So they are not really here, but it's all in my mind?"

[Yeah. The only reason Karkas, the Queen, and I were able to see those black shadows was because it was in the game]

"My system created an image from my mind and projected in the game?'

[Yeah]

"Can't you stop this?"

[Unfortunately, I don't know what is causing this. I tried to search for the source, but I don't see any errors] 

"It's okay. Let's ignore them and go"

I walked forward, passing the girl.

I hate to say this, but I got chills from those glares. 

Drip~ Drip~

"Water!"

Where is this sound coming from?

I want to drink some water.

I followed the dripping sound and reached an open chamber.

"I just hope I don't end up activating a trap here"

I passed the chamber room and reached another open chamber.

"How many chambers are there?"

Sigh~~

I kept running, passing chambers and chambers, until I realized I kept passing through the same place again and again.

"Damn you ancient civilization!"

[We have one hour left]

"I will just smash my way--aa!" 

[What's wrong?]

"They are here!"

[Who?]

"That little girl and boy!"

They were both holding hands.

Now that I look properly, they both are wearing royal attire.

The girl let go of his hand and walked close to me.

I stepped back a little.

She slowly opened her mouth, but closed again.

She did that a couple of times, like she has to say something but hesitating not to.

The boy walked up to the girl and held her hand.

They looked at each other and smiled. 

The boy raised his other hand, and the girl did the game. They pointed their finger at the wall behind me.

I looked back at the wall. There was nothing unusual about the wall.

"Whoa!"

When I looked at the front, they were both standing next to me.

They walked forward and touched the wall.

What are they doing?

Is there a secret switch on the wall that leads to some kind of hidden room? 

They were looking at me.

Do they want me to do the same thing?

I touched the wall too.

The girl looked up at me and opened her mouth to say something.

She just moved her lips. I couldn't figure out what she said.

The boy pulled the girl's hand and left.

What the hell?

"What should I do now?"

They touched the wall. That means there should be some kind of clue here.

Wait a minute! 

"I got it"

[What?]

"We weren't passing the same chamber again and again"

[What do you mean?]

"We never exited the chamber"

[But we did leave]

"We did, but we were still in the chamber" 

[You are not making any sense]

"Can you hear the sound from behind the wall?]

I leaned close with my ears on the wall to hear clearly what I have been hearing.

[This sound...]

"It's the water sound"

[So we were just following the sound of the water and ended up coming here again and again]

"Exactly" 

[So what are you going to do with this wall?]

"Smash it"

[Would that be okay? What if there is some kind of mechanism?]

I was touching the wall with my left hand. I changed it to right hand because I was going to punch with my left hand.

As soon as I touched the wall with my right hand, the chamber started rumbling and the wall shattered down.

I walked in.

It was a dark place. It was dark everywhere, but this place is darker.

I walked further.

After walking for a while, I heard some wet sounds. Like something was hitting the water. 

Suddenly, the torch lit up a far away place from where I was standing.

It was the same type of fire torches I saw before.

Another torch lit up. Then another. Another. Another. One after another, all the torches lit up.

It was an enormous cave.

All the torches were held by armors. 

And in the middle of the room, there were...

"Tombs"
