“I see… but the last one had some kind of challenge attached to it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s from some guy named Greggar. I’m not sure if he has a relation to the dungeon, or if he was some kind of hero who entered this dungeon before us. Perhaps, he was a Dungeon Builder. Are you familiar with the name?”
Carmine shook her head. “I’m sorry, that’s not a name I’m familiar with.”
“Then, I suppose we should get going. Prince Bernard might be able to figure out we’re here, especially if he has Sense Life. Let’s not give him time to consider that.”
She nodded. “Together?”
I grabbed her hand, and then the pair of us touched the kiosk together. There was a chance that nothing would happen, and I was kind of hoping that was the case. However, I felt the familiar transportation magic, and a moment later, I was back in that empty room with the door and the kiosk. I looked around when I felt my hand was empty. Spinning around, I had a bad feeling. Carmine wasn’t with me.
I had the Linguist job, so I could read the text. I hadn’t even considered what would happen if it took us to different challenge rooms. What would she do if she couldn’t see anything? I felt worried, but once again, it was only a superficial concern. Carmine had to make it through, and even if she failed, hopefully, the worst problem was that she was thrown back out into the real world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI walked up to the door, and once against read the text.
Before you, lay’s one of Greggar’s challenges. If you can complete this challenge, you will be awarded a gift that helps you on your way. If you fail, your bones will rest amongst the Twilight forever.
Geh… I forgot about that last part. I had to have faith in Carmine though. She’d manage to make it through somehow. That’s when a thought hit me. I pulled a pen and paper out of my Inventory and I wrote a note. Then, leaving it at my feet, I tried another Party Switch. The only reason I knew it worked was that the note I had just written disappeared. Thankfully, Carmine hadn’t tried to go through the door just yet.
I quickly read her door and wrote down what it said in the common tongue, then I teleported back. I picked up the sheet of paper. There was a tear on it like she tried to use her dagger to write something. In the end, I could see the mark of a kiss on it. She didn’t have a pen, so that was her way of letting me know she saw it. Breathing easier, I went to look at my challenge one more time. I frowned, realizing the text wasn’t the same as it was before.
Cheaters never prosper. Since you wished to help another on their trial, then you can handle both trials at once!
“Oh…no…”
