Chapter 2
There was no way out.
Once he didn’t have the Blood Magus Class’s claim time limit rushing him, Zeth took a moment to catch his breath and find his bearings. He stood and wandered the ruined mineshaft, using the light from his lantern to try and find a passage that led out of this place.
Only, there was none. The tunnel was a dead end, and the way back was blocked by a massive swath of collapsed stone. Zeth tried digging himself out for some time, but quickly realized those efforts were in vain. He’d starve to death before he even made a dent in the wall of rock.
Which, considering he didn’t have any food and only enough water to last a few more hours, that death was looking pretty close on the horizon.
He already knew he’d been passed out for an hour and there was no sign of rescue so far. He hoped that was just because the efforts were delayed for some reason, not because they weren’t coming at all. That mysterious voice from before had literally told him he’d die down here—surely they would go get help, if they were so concerned about his survival?
For now, though, all he could do was wait.
He opened up his Status, looking at the changes made from the new, mysterious Class he’d obtained.
