An Ambush
As Alex jumped into the cart, it made a creaky sound and began moving.
In no time, he and Nix were travelling down an old mine track in a minecart.
The growling sound became distant but the sinister laugh began intensifying.
A cold sweat trickled down Alex's back while Nix didn't seem to be any better.
They braced themselves for any potential fight and in the system's shop, Alex found himself a sword but sadly, it couldn't be purchased with dollars anymore. He needed coins.
The entire currency system was flipped upside down and to purchase them, he guessed that coins could be found in the dungeon, just like how it was in games.
With his arms as his weapons and his body as a shield, he stood in front of his wife to brace for any potential attacks.
Nix tried to tell him to not do it, but Alex didn't budge. He didn't want his wife to be harmed.
A few seconds later, the minecart sped up and the sinister laughter intensified.
