Chapter 96: Ch 96: It’s because of Lack of Sleep - Part 2
Selene stepped through the shimmering blue gate, and the world around her transformed.
Instead of the harsh, rocky landscapes typical of C-ranked dungeons, she found herself standing in a vast, flowery field.
The sun hung in a pastel sky, its light diffused and soft.
’So this is the dungeon I heard about? It doesn’t look anything special. But it’s very beautiful...especially these flowers...no, stop it! I need to stay awake and vigilant. I cannot let myself stagger like this.’
But despite how much Selene struggled, she felt like her body was winning this war against her mind. Her exhaustion wrapped around her like a blanket.
She swayed, knees buckling as if the ground itself was pulling her down.
The flowers looked so inviting, like a bed she could sink into and finally sleep.
’It feels so inviting. Should I just rest...for a few minutes? I need to close my eyes for just 5 minutes....’
Just as her body started to tip forward, a strong hand grabbed her arm.
"Selene!"
Ethan’s voice cut through the haze. He yanked her back, and she stumbled against him, his grip firm and unyielding.
