When Rolan went through the only opening out of this cave, he saw it looked more like the beginning of an underground labyrinth like in any RPG or MMO games.
Weirdly that thought was familiar to him, was he a gamer before?
He shrugged and decided it’d be better to find a way out.
It was just mostly rocky caves with hanging stalactites which probably had animals around as a nesting ground…
That would fucking suck ass!!
Continuing he did find something in this longer hallway looking cave.
A skeleton…
That’s not worrying at the slightest!
So Rolan reluctantly checked if the poor soul left anything useful and only a couple things seemed important.
An old book and a makeshift wooden club.
The book cover had a picture of a flame on it, it looked like one of those minor spell books you could start with at the beginning of a fantasy game.
Of course when he picked up the book and tried to read it, a blue screen popped up out of nowhere.
“Would you like to receive the magic skill ‘FIRE SHOT’?”
Yes / No
He could only blink and rub his eyes before silently pressing yes.
The screen went away and the book’s contents all went away.
For the first time, he spoke out loud.
“Okay, so this is basically a game… cool but what the fuck!”
Then he figured he’d try and shoot the spell with his hand.
“Fire Shot!”
A ball of fire came out and at first it seemed fine but unfortunately it launched rather slow and extinguished quick.
He scratched his head in wondering how this could work.
For a moment, he figured he could maybe envision his spell mentally and maybe it’d work better but silently think the words instead out speaking it.
“BOOM”
It did go better since it did hit the opposite side of the cave but it was still slow.
Then he had a crazy thought so he used his fingers as a gun and pointed at the wall casting the spell one more time.
It wasn’t as big but it was faster and aimed well too.
This could work well he thought to himself before picking up the wooden club.
It wasn’t that heavy but it was pretty hefty so he figured he’d likely need a weapon.
There wasn’t anything left of use in the cave but he did turn to the skeleton and spoke out loud.
“I don’t know who you were or what happened to you but I hope you understand I need these things to protect myself so I will say thank you and I hope you aren’t suffering anymore.”
He didn’t know why but he felt it was necessary to show some respect to the dead.
Once he felt ready, he left towards the next cave section.
This time though he could hear the faint sounds of fighting.
Maybe there were people up ahead or maybe something else…
Fuck it, he’d have to risk it!
