Chapter 8: Nest of Traps
Alvaric walked confidently into the far-left corridor. He was absolutely certain about his choice. He kept walking, hoping to find a source of water. However, after walking for about fifteen minutes, he suddenly stepped on something. At the same moment, dozens of arrows flew toward him.
"Huh?"
Alvaric immediately dodged all the traps. But instead of being safe after evading one trap, he stepped on another. A huge boulder appeared from behind and rolled rapidly toward him. Alvaric ran as fast as he could.
He managed to dodge it just as he reached a fork in the path. Relieved that he had escaped another trap, he was about to exhale in relief—but then he heard another strange sound.
"Again?"
CRACK!
The ground beneath him gave way! Alvaric's eyes widened in shock. This time it wasn't an attack, but the floor opening up. His body nearly plummeted into the deep, dark abyss, but his reflexes kicked in—he grabbed the edge of the hole and pulled himself up.
When he looked down into the pit, Alvaric swallowed hard. It was so deep he couldn't even see the bottom.
"Damn! That almost killed me," he muttered.
