1033 Words
I looked at it carefully trying to analyzing it and thinking that there might be dangers inside.
The pathway was extremely narrow but there was still some light inside showing the way in and as I had a small figure I would definitely fit inside.
It looked like a cave like entrance but in a narrow way. I looked inside and felt as if it looked back at me.
Then I remember that saying in my previous life that when you look at the abyss, It looks back at you.
At that moment I got the creeps and I felt as if I was in a horror movie and I can even imagine the ominous music that they usually play in those movies.
' Why am I having a bad feeling about going in there and how even does that fat pig even walk inside. I should be very careful and I'll think about those things later', thought I.
I dismissed all the negative thoughts that was going on in my mind and looked inside for the last time.
I walked in cautiously as there may be traps but surprisingly there was none.
I continued to walk for a few minutes and I finally reached the end of the pathway, I stood in front of what seemed to be a secluded room.
It was chained . But fret not as I am always prepared for any situations that I might come across.
I then thought of my dear brother. It was a weird feeling like this in this situation. I kind of miss him. Hah I wonder what he would be doing right now, avenging me maybe.
I laughed to myself as I imagined his pissed off expression.
I am used to unlock these things thanks to my big brother from my previous life teaching me. He made me learn how to protect myself in case he would not be there for me to save me.
But fate played differently and despite learning all of that I still died pathetically with by the hands of some lowly underlings.
I felt bitterness in my heart but what could I possibly do. It has already happen and I am now in another world , a world where I can do anything to be strong and survive like those in the novels.
But I am living in a novel.
Reality is that much cruel but what can we do that is what life is all about, no
Since the door had a lock on it, I just needed to open it and I knew just the right method.
I got a hold of my pointy hairpin that I wore in case a danger suddenly arouses and so that I would be able to use it as a weapon. And began undoing the lock but I failed to do so.
It may have been due to my current body and I lost practice , so I tried for a few more times.
After a few trial and errors , I finally succeeded. I removed the chains one by one until I could see the door properly.
'Now that I look at it like this ,it is fascinating.'
It was a brownish color door that was in dilapidated state. It had some kind of inscriptions on it , though I didn't seemed to understand it.
I looked for a handle but there seemed to not have one.
Even though it looked dilapidated , upon touch it did not feel like one. Those inscriptions made me feel something that I could not express with words.
I continued to look at it in awe that I forgot that there was no handle. I snapped out of it and realized about it.
'What now!' I thought worriedly. It must have a mechanism like that statue maybe. I tried to push the door but I was not strong enough. I lacked physical strength and I didn't even receive training before coming here and I accepted that mission.
I'm so stupid aren't I . Well it didn't seemed like he planned to allow me to refuse anyway. I thought how I should open it when I noticed that those inscriptions were not just mere inscriptions, it was the key to unlock.
I moved the inscriptions one by one , it was like I was solving a puzzle. After a few hours , I finished it and it glowed a blue light as a strange creature appeared on it and disappeared right after opening the door.
I payed no heed to it and stood at the entrance of the room.
I looked at the welcoming entrance and I felt like my heart beat was increasing by every second I looked inside. I walked in and got the sensation as if something was calling to me.
If there were a dangerous being here my ability would have been activated, rather my sixth sense would have averted me of the presence unless it surpassed the strength of the white tiger that I had fought before or is able to hide their presence like Elias did the other time .
I stopped on my tracks and saw someone standing near an alter, he was holding what seemed to be a necklace-like object. I looked at the man carefully and notice that he was staring daggers at me.
He had navy blue hair and black eyes with a muscular and tall figure, he also looked quite handsome. While I was busy admiring him my whole suddenly body froze on spot. It felt like my body paralyzed. I tried to move but it was in vain.
"I wonder how a rat managed to get inside", said the mysterious guy as he approached me. " Who are you and who sent you? And how dare you snoop around here and there in my castle."
His castle??But this is that pi... don't tell is the conclusion that I previously came up with is true tht the other guy a fake and that there is the another owner who is the real deal. I asked him with a trembling tone, " Are you the true city lord, the one using black magic."
