A Series of Doors and Knobs
Ryu and Rosa advanced to the next dungeon.
Upon laying foot on the second dungeon, the door closed before it disappeared. And like the first one, the next dungeon laid out traps as well. But instead of just Ryu, Rosa, the human, and elf, they were joined by other experts who also succeeded from their first dungeon.
Ryu was sure that at least hundreds of them were swallowed by the hole. Could it be that they were being merged gradually?
His heart hoped. There was a chance that he and Seraphina might see each other in the succeeding dungeons!
But before that, he must survive the dungeons first.
They were all faced with another trap as they encountered lock doors that must be broken down to pass, but an abyss was waiting for them on the other side. And they were only able to make out to the next dungeon by sacrificing two experts who broke down the wrong doors.
Among these experts was Ryu and Rosa's elf companion in their first dungeon.
