Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

"So where are we going again?" Zafira asked, taking careful steps down the spiral staircase.

Rael gently held her hand as he took the lead. "I told you, we're heading to the star room."

"Mhm..." Zafira nodded skeptically. "But don't you think a star room is supposed to... I don't know, overlook the stars?"

"Yep, and that's what we'll be doing," Rael replied flatly. "It's an area that's not exactly conventional, but you'll see when we get there."

She had a point. Honestly, he was a bit surprised that Zafira didn't call him out for trying to kidnap her or something.

After all, they were already in a crater, but now he was going even deeper.

The developers, or I guess the creators of this world, added a secret room, and it's directly linked to the blue star that only those in Celestara can see, Rael thought as he suddenly halted.

"Why did you stop?" Zafira asked, puzzled. "It looks like there's some light down there—we're pretty close to whatever dungeon you're taking me to."

Rael raised a brow. "You seem pretty eager about that?"

Zafira's smile twitched. "W-Well... not like that. But I'm still confused about how you knew this existed in the first place."

"I'll tell you when we finally arrive, so let's see..." Rael trailed off, scanning the dark wall in front of him.

He had climbed down 239 steps, and the 240th step was a trap that would send him barreling toward his death.
