I saw the orb disappear,but it made my forearm hair go up like an unexpected twist ,as if anticipating something,...light head wind was hitting me.My skin felt the chills.The wind was getting stronger and stronger….its now making me crouch down,making grip the rocky,dark ground of the cave by locking my foot as an anchor with my arms to hold down my upper body to not sway back or by side,disturbing the balance.
Locked in the quadrapetal stance,my head facing the ground as I heard a mocking huff from that black curtain over completely hiding the figure.After waiting for 15 -ish minutes for the wind to calm down and my body was aching for the length I'd held the position for hours. The wind stopped finally but my body ached like hell,my abdominal muscles,my arm,my shoulder .It was smoking dust or pebbles when that strong breeze turned into a strong gale. After the gale slowed finally,I had the chance to finally rest and laid down on the cool-rough textured but smooth ground
Suddenly my brain registered magical energy giving out 2 virtual examples,one of a storm,other of the pressurised sharp,thin blade of wind. It brought me chills again as I have now realised again of how powerful those are in Jupiter back in my previous world,that red spot,I wonder if it had gotten slower till it had vanished from sight at all?it would need 100s or 1000s of years or more than that?Keeping aside, I am now reminded of how powerful and deadly every element can be but it seems weird,it's probably not as just shown to me.
With my ongoing exhaustion ,I dared not to notice the beast and closed my eyes,wanting to sleep.
While our protagonist was minding his own business,the beast still continued to summon an orb representing the lightning archetype.The brightness was dim at first glance on the spectator view but the luminosity was increasing gradually to the point it could be compared to a 20Watt LED bulb,still not enough to illuminate the cavity.With the brightness gradually increasing the arcs began getting wider and longer,twisting and multiplying more,with teeny tiny bit touching the protagonist.
While I am minding my own business by ignoring this beast.I thought about the similarity between this world and my world ... .I can self talk myself for sanity ofcourse like there's no way I would have some sort-of cringey protagonist complex.
Well I am Fukugen Ma (複現 間),I used to work with hardwares,I —--
Ukh!a tingling sensation shot up my hand to my spine as i pulled my hand back.with my eyes shot open ,my neck up to see the electrical crackling around and in the sparking orb.
The beast changed the sparking orb with the dull ore like orb that represented the earth archetype.
I looked at the orb just as tired I was, the ground below me elevated by a foot? and softened weirdly-enough,I decided to ignore the beast hoping nothing would go wrong for me with this archetype.
Unfortunately,Ma was dead wrong ,as the beast made a stalactite come out right from the ceiling, to the point it was just 10 inches away from impaling his forehead.With the unusual silence heard by Ma,he began feeling uneasy.
….. ….. ….. Why is everything so quiet?
And then he opens his eyes just to see the hanging guillotine.The sight made his body look like a pure undedicated black and white doodle sketch with the comedic pale face. And his thoughts?"I am dead"
….I am dead…. .I quickly rolled away from my death. Why the heck is this beast trying to have fun of me???
Still I guess it's just trolling me.
Unluckily,the stalactite fell just after the jinx.
—---—---—---—
Suddenly I am now teleported in some sort of closed space???
This place has the same look as that cavity it just doesn't have those crystals anymore….
I am definitely in some sort of madman test dungeon ain't I?
