The Rabbit Hole

[Content Warning: Graphic Content Ahead!!!!]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'What the Fuck?', that is the only thing that filled my mind when I first laid eyes on the scene in front of me.

[Obtained [Passive] Mental Resistance Level 1]

Statues of humanlike figures with tentacles growing all over their body, A minotaur man with tentacles for a lower body, and so much more, but the thing that binds them all together is an expression full of suffering.

Why are there so many statues with tentacles? Don't tell me the Japanese already invaded this world?!

Well, there is that, but the part that surprised me the most is a bustling town—No, a city full of rabbits!

Something that cannot be ignored is a huge temple deep within the burrow. It looked like the Pantheon that I once saw in Rome.

Should I call this Rabbit City? It looks like it, they looked so advanced.

On the ceiling are stones emitting light, they looked like stars in a clear night sky. What I expected was a dark place, but the stones gave enough illumination to light up the place without it being too dark.

Besides that, it seems that there is a huge hole in the side of the mountain. Illuminating some of the areas without the stones, like a part of the city on the west side.

When I hopped into the burrow, we traveled for a while and were greeted by this sight.

Thump

I got out of my dumbfounded state with that loud thump from the Alpha Rabbit.

It seems that he waited enough time, and although he doesn't look irritated, I think he needs to go somewhere.

I'm sorry Mr. Muscles! Please don't leave me behind! I will change myself for you!

He gestured toward me, and he started hopping into the city.

Oh, should I follow you? Oh right, you picked me up for this.

I followed the Alpha Rabbit deep within the city, it seems like we were going in the direction of the huge temple.

The travel was quite a long one, the city was bigger than I thought, and the huge temple is in the deepest part.

I saw many kinds like a group of higher ranked Horned Rabbits having a gang fight on the side, with their blue and red horns making it easy for me to know what group they are part of.

Some species float on top of the glowing river and appear to be sleeping. They have blue fur and look kind of rotund and have smaller limbs than most.

They look like just plushies swimming in the river.

<<Appraise>>

[Aqua Rabbit]

[An Aqua Rabbit that lives in the forest of the Forgotten Sanctum]

I know that rabbits are social creatures, but I didn't know that they were social to the point that some of them looked like they were bartering for some carrots with some shiny rock.

It seems that these guys are smarter than I thought. It seems that it is a proper city and even then, I saw some carrots planted in front of a statue of a limbless boy with tentacles coming out of his mouth.

[Leveled Up [Passive] Comprehension 1 > 2]

Beside the statues are small huts, I saw some rabbits coming out of them and then watering some of their carrots.

Whaaaa, there are even farmers too.

It seems that they even have real-estate here, the surprise is on the rise. The rabbits are making their homes around the statues and have a dedicated plot of land near them to plat some carrots.

The scenery is quite surreal, on one hand, there are many creepy statues standing here with depictions of disgusting things. For what they were depicting on some of the statues, let's just say that it is just a Human cuddling with his pet.

[Leveled Up [Passive] Mental Resistance 1 > 2]

And below that statue is a group of bunnies running around together.

And on the other hand, there are quite and cheerful rabbits roaming about in the city. I even saw some white bunnies hopping around together in a large group, going toward the exit of the burrow.

Now, I know why a group of bunnies is called a Fluffle, I mean look at them!

The mixture of horrid statues and cute bunnies together in one place filled my mind with strangeness, it dumbfounded me to the point that I haven't even noticed that we already arrived at the entrance of the temple.

Contrary to the statues located in the city, here I saw statues made of gold.

A dragon that looks like it was about to breath out a massive inferno from his mouth.

A 3-headed snake constricting a Giant readying its fangs to swallow him whole.

A minotaur carrying the world on his shoulder.

A wolf swallowing the moon.

Their oppressing aura flooded the place, but the sole solace was the statue that is situated right at the front of the temple, a winged woman, her visage overflowing with a soothing aura.

Her expression is full of joy, just from her visage, you can feel her gentle and kind nature. She was like a mother looking at her children beneath the temple.

Here, unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, it seems calm and serene, like the resting place of the Gods.

With the background of the Lightstone on the ceiling the temple looks like something you will see on a mysterious labyrinth.

Thump

The Alpha Rabbit, thumped on the ground again, waking me up from a stupor.

He gestured again and hopped towards the right side of the temple.

I continued seeing golden statues of creatures that looked like they came right out of myths until we finally arrived at our destination.

In front of me is a statue of a huge and slender rabbit with antlers on its head and wings on its back, below its feet is a huge dust storm forming.

The Alpha Rabbit, pointed at the orb protruding on the base of the statue.

Eh, what should I do, do you want me to touch the orb? Well, I don't know what he wants but let's see if I am wrong.

I hopped toward the orb at the base of the statue.

Looking at the Alpha Rabbit, he nodded.

I touched the orb, and my vision was filled with light.

[Bloodline of the Tempest Caller Detected!]

[Obtained [Passive] Language of Lepus Level Max]

Huh? What?

I suddenly felt my body turn cold like prey being stalked by a predator from the shadows.

[%&^%$ !@#$ !@#!@# Detected]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I suddenly felt my mind being broken to pieces like porcelain being smashed to bits by a sledgehammer.

FUCK, MY HEAD FEELS LIKE SPLITTING GOD DAMN

[Combine [Skill] Bounce and [Skill] Kick: Y/N?]

After the pain that lasted like an eternity suddenly the light dissipated from my vision and the pain coming from my soul stopped, like it never happened at all.

Haa haaa haa, what the fuck happened to me.

I saw the Alpha Rabbit looking at me in concern. Don't worry, I'm okay now.

It seems that Tempest Caller whoever he is, gave me a goddamn blessing but that goddamn blessing felt like my soul was being burned in hell.

[Combine [Skill] Bounce and [Skill] Kick: Y/N?]

<<Y>>

[Combined [Skill] Bounce and [Skill] Kick]

[Obtained [Unique Skill] Rabbit's Foot]

It seems that guy gave me a few level-ups and a unique skill.

Well, if he wants to give it to me, then just give it to me! No need to go through all that hellish bullshit for that, I accept gifts you know!

While I just got here in the city, I obtained a skilled called Mental resistance, and now it's already level 3.

I think it wasn't even be supposed to level up this fast! The level is even higher than my Headbutt for God's sake.

But still, what kind of blessing did he give me?
