I was standing in a dark room surrounded by stone. Other than the kiosk, there was nothing else here. I touched the kiosk again, but it didn’t teleport me back. Therefore, I was stuck here.
I took a few steps forward, and that was when I noticed that there was a large set of double doors in front of me made of stone. There were words carved into that stone. I didn’t understand the words at all. They weren’t written in the standard script that our world used. That’s when a thought came to my mind. I equipped Linguist and then stared at the text a bit longer. After a moment, the words began to form into something I could read.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt{Linguist has increased to level 9.}
{Decode has been unlocked.}
I hadn’t paid much attention to that job for a long time. The last I remembered; it was five. However, I was reading whenever it was applicable, and that was always being multiplied by my experience boosts, so it must have been increasing passively all this time. Now that I tried to translate something, it went up another level with ease.
I could now read the text in front of me, reminding me once again just how easy some things were in this world, while other things were extremely difficult!
Before you, lay’s one of Greggar’s challenges. If you can complete this challenge, you will be awarded a gift that helps you on your way. If you fail, your bones will rest amongst the Twilight forever.
If you use your eyes, you will be blinded. If you use your magic, you will be blighted. Only a perceptive man can live, only a cautious man can proceed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI read the entire thing five times. The first part only told you that there was a challenge. The second part was explaining what the challenge was. It spoke of eyes blinding me. That meant that the world beyond would probably be an illusion. It said I couldn’t cheat with magic. It probably meant using some kind of magical means to see through the illusion. In that case…
I pulled out a strip of cloth and wrapped it around my eyes. I took a step forward and the doors in front of me began to open with a long gravely sound. Then, I pulled up my Map and glanced at it. As I thought, the Map had a very specific path, where the rest looked to be a pitfall. I imagined if I looked, I would be looking at either a flat room or a giant pitfall. I didn’t want to check now. It felt easier if I didn’t look at the illusion at all.
Of course, I was still cautious. Pulling out the spear I had fastened, I began to push each step ahead of me before moving forward. Using my place on the Map, I progressed forward one step at a time. The one in front of me crumbled when I pushed it down, but I had been going slow and patient, and so I didn’t lose my balance.
After about an hour of carefully stepping, I finally made my way to the end of the room.
