Eulogize

Wu opened her eyes in a secret room.

She didn't wake up like a normal person because the time she set for herself to awaken was more precise than a digital clock; it was similar to how she saw the future of this dungeon world when she entered.

A mastermind that hid beyond everybody's sight.

Its way of survival was strange, its power also strange but powerful.

It was even more powerful than any powerhouse she knew.

Maybe a while later, her good friend might reach this level, but not now.

So, Wu didn't have a choice.

She didn't want to hurt those she cared for; she knew what kind of consequences would have befallen him had she not fallen into slumber, faking her death.

The outcome would have been irreversible, the kind that she couldn't bear.

Even the current outcome was intolerable for her.

When she saw how he was being sliced up like an eel, Wu felt immense pain and couldn't breathe.
