Perspective : Conrad GarnierIt's funny how human psyche works? The mere sight of gold makes us forget our sufferings, It makes us blind. It makes us oblivious to the obvious abomination that lay before us.There was a huge dead centipede, whose limbs were made of gold. Yeah, nothing suspicious or ominous about that, isn't it?Truth be told, the mere sight of gold to us was like a life-giving oasis to a person desperately parched with thirst.We can't help but be drawn to that sight, It was the reason of our sufferings, It was meant to be our reward.Because,Our greed was a guiding light, that kept us going, we never faltered, never lost hope. And, when we saw what we wanted, the beacon and the fruit of our labour. We became complacent.Full filling an unspoken commitment to our fallen comrades,"so, what if we let our guards down?""So, what if we became blind to the obvious truth around us?"."Atleast that much should be allowed"."Or does it?".Standing right there, I felt noth
Perspective : Thor GildWhile we kept walking tirelessly, without a moment to rest, our exhausted bodies were on the brink of collapse. Emilia, left with no alternative, decided to take a risk, knowing that the room ahead was our only passage. With one hand on her forehead, she exclaimed, "Ahhkk" in frustration. "Keep your guards up," she cautioned. Drawing her striking crimson blade,However, due to her exhaustion and the toll taken by her excessive use of Stamina potions, Emilia's body finally gave in, and she found herself on the verge of stumbling. Yet, in that critical moment, she reacted swiftly. Steadying her blade, she drove it into the ground, using it as an impromptu cane. With sheer determination, she hauled herself back up into position, refusing to let her exhaustion hinder our progress.As she said,"Never mind".Not only was Emilia on the brink of collapse, but everyone else also struggled to maintain their composure. Each member of the group could barely stand uprig
Perspective : Conrad GarnierWhen you see a guiding light of hope, beyond the darkness of that deep tunnel, blinded by hope and aspiration, do you ever think what hides beside those rays of hope. The light reflecting in your eyes shines so brilliantly that it overshadows that which lurks in the corner, It obscures its origins.Just like moth to a flame, we are lured towards it. Our perception blocked by the sheer illusion of"It's finally over".But when that illusion breaks, what will we see?When reality kicks in, what will we see?As we all regained our consciousness, a wave of apprehension washes over me. Dread filled every fiber of my being as I scanned my surroundings. My heart races, pounding against my chest, as my eyes lock onto the enormous crevice in the floor. It was impossible to look away, drawing me in like moth to a flame. My gaze was fixated on the small, tiny holes that covered its surface, each one resembling an endless void.But the horror didn't end there. As if ea
Perspective : Emilia Verdora"Where am I ?"."Right ... the floor crumbled, and we fell below?"."Where are the others?".I opened my eyes, only to find myself alone again."Doesn't matter, I was in it alone to begin with"."So, where are we exactly?".I looked around, my vision was limited, "Go figures ... This is below that dark cavern, It only makes sense ... that it's a lot darker".I felt a sensation of heat emanating from my head, accompanied by a gentle pulsation. Instinctively, I extended my hands to investigate, nothing unexpected, I encountered a wet substance. The thought crossed my mind, "Am I bleeding?" The darkness veiled my hands from sight, yet as I cautiously rubbed my fingers together, a distinct lubrication confirmed my suspicion: I was indeed bleeding from my head."More importantly ... how did I survived?"."Or am I the only one?"."I have to find everyone else... Or ... I have to end myself to reset the loop again".Even though it was dark, I felt the cold blad
Perspective: Thor Gild"Hey! ... Hey! ... buddy ... wake up".I felt jolts, someone was shaking me."Thor Gild.... Thor Gild"."Shit he is bleeding"."Give me that Cloth".I heard a sudden sharp and crisp ripping noise.Opening my eyes proved to be quite a challenge, as if an unseen force was resisting my attempts. Despite my utmost efforts, my eyelids felt heavy and unyielding.Keira's call reached my ears, and I yearned to respond. However, the position of my body restricted any movement, rendering me unable to even part my lips, let alone utter a word.[Maybe he is dead]"You shut up..... can't you see he is still breathing"."Come on man wake up".Keira kept shaking, gradually my sleep induced state weakened.Eventually, I opened my eyes, followed by a throbbing surge of pain on my chest, apparently one of my ribs had been broken, and It was poking against my insides.The pain was excruciating, but I wasn't going to give in, the fact that I was still alive meant Arngrim hadn't give
Perspective : Brandon VlodskyI carefully released the buckle of my belt, separating it from my trousers, and gently encircled it around my fractured right foot."It hurts".That's when Robin asked me,"How are you holding up ?" Noticing the severity of my injury, Robin added, "Your foot seems to be quite swollen." In response, I brushed off his concern, stating, "It's none of your business. I've dealt with worse." Robin quickly apologized, acknowledging his overstep, saying, "I'm sorry, I crossed a line." I replied calmly, "Just remember to be more mindful in the future."(Who does he think he is?)(I don't need is pity)(I don't need anyone's pity)With my fumbling legs, using my great sword as a makeshift cane, I stood up.Thanks to luck, I hadn't suffered much of an injury except for my leg. Because When we fell, the squishy floor beneath my feet absorbed all the impact.And if not for that Idiot Robin who fell right over me , I would be walking just fine.As I raised my gaz
Perspective : Conrad Garnier[Present]Elkdrack exclaimed,"Dammit! I have got leeches on me feets".I replied Sternly,"Just run for now".As we followed the trail of my small fireball, our group cautiously ran towards the next chamber, only to discover a disturbing sight. The entire area was too infested with swarms of leeches. They emerged relentlessly from the very ground beneath our feet, completely enveloping the floor.However, the ceiling in that area had significantly lowered, giving the impression that it was being supported by an unseen force. It was then that I noticed a familiar trace of magic – ice. The ice seemed to be holding the ceiling fragments together. And right before our eyes, a massive chasm stretched out, spanning the entirety of the floor.That's when I heard a voice,"Guys .... mind lending a hand here".As, my gaze shifted in the direction of the voice, my eyes widened in surprise as I saw Yuna,Floating in mid- air on her shimmering wand.Her hands were ou
Perspective : Thor Gild [1 hour earlier]From a distance we could hear metal clashing against each other. Suspecting it was a certain someone, that we had been not very particularly keen on searching, we traced the sound.Gradually, the darkness within the deep chasm subsided while the clash and the eerie hissing sound grew louder, giving the impression that we were approaching the outside or somewhere nearby. As we arrived at the scene, we encountered whom I had suspected: Brandon and Robin. However, with an un suspected guest —the fiend responsible for this mess, that enormous centipede.The clashing noises reverberated through the air as Brandon's sword clashed with the numerous limbs of the centipede. It was a sight to behold, witnessing his sword emanating a deep violet aura. I had never seen him that serious before, except for one other time.It was when I first talked to him, after that party, due to an misunderstanding he was kicked out.It was the same night Conrad got stabbe
