Underground Ruin

With the rebellious Spirit Beast at the lead, the group started our exploration again. Since he volunteered to be the first one to pass through the crumbled wall, we waited for him to do so before we followed him in. Any danger that could possibly be waiting there will be received by him firsthand.

With wariness in his eyes, he slowly traversed that distance. Probing it with his Rivers first, he set his left foot inside.

He trembled a bit but seeing there's nothing happening, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Normally, I should also sigh in relief when nothing happened to him but from what I've seen from those horror-thriller films, with this kind of unknown, being relieved will often lead to that character dying. The killer will suddenly appear and surprise the viewers.

Ah. Well, it's not that I'm hoping for him to die, alright? I'm just overthinking the possibilities.

Seeing him successfully arriving at the other side, I heard everyone's sigh of relief.
