Chapter 3: First Nightmare (2)
[Aspirant! Welcome to the Nightmare Spell. Prepare for your First Trial...]
'...what...?'
A strange voice spoke in his mind. Hope wasn't sure if he caught its words clearly. His mind still felt disoriented as he tried to process where he was now.
Hope opened his eyes and found nothing but complete darkness. At least he thought he opened his eyes. He couldn't see his hands or feet and felt like he was locked in some sort of box. His movements even felt restricted.
It was simple yet it could be felt.
It was suffocating.
'Where the hell am I...?'
At the same moment, something flickered in his peripheral vision, and he turned towards it.
A small white light flickered in the far distance like a candle almost being burnt out.
Odd. It wasn't there before, but it seemed to be the way out. Well, the only possible route to anywhere.
But was he looking at it up or down? To his left? No. Right?
