This was the first thing that I saw as I opened my eyes. Looking through the window, it seemed like the night still hasn't passed and observing my [Save Point] I saw the time and date

[14/14/0192 02: 45 AM]

It had the option to load this or to start from the beginning.

'Well. That makes one positive thing over this scary movie atmosphere,' I thought as I got out of the bed. Stretching a little, I then began moving out of the room. My eyes were a bit cautious as I opened the gate. Who knows what I might find in this creepy situation?

Outside the gate, Mira was sleeping silently on the floor, hugging her dual blades, as a rough expression was apparent on her face. It looked as if she were in a nightmare.

"Mira," I tried waking her up, slowly as I shook her, but after trying for a while, I concluded that it's not possible to wake her up on my own.

[Blades of Liberty(Rare)!]

[Description: These blades were forged by the best smith of the Incara Town, made with the hope that it will someday be a part of an epic tale. They were later blessed by the Saintess of Fire, making them gain the ability to enhance one's power.

Effects:

+20% Strength

+20% Fire Attacks

+20% Resistance to Fire

Remark: They're beautiful, aren't they?]

'I will be using them,' I took her dual blades from her hands before I began moving down. My steps, more careful than before.

[Mana Sense!]

I tried sensing mana in the area, but the result wasn't really what I wanted. The entire area has turned black, signifying that even the air was filled with dense mana. Since it became useless, I turned it off before reaching the first floor.

First floor was as eerie as the second one. I did try to search it a little, but all the doors were locked so I had to move down. Reaching the ground floor, I saw the place filled with about a dozen adventurers sleeping on the table.

My eyes looked at each and everyone of them, before turning to the reception desk, trying to find Amelia, the prime suspect of the entire thing.

"Mr. Adam?" and speaking of the devil, I turned to find her wearing a black robe, with two giant monsters with skeletal heads near the entry gate of the building.

[Name: Amelia

Class: ???

Level: ???

HP: ???/???

MP: ???/???]

"Ah! Miss Amelia. I was looking for you… something is wrong with the entire situation," I spoke with a 'worry' as I looked at her, making her narrow her eyes at me.

"Who are you?" she asked directly. It doesn't seem like she was happy with me being awake.

"Are you one of the exorcists?" She asked again. This time, a blue flame lit up, as she observed me, ready to attack any time.

"I am not," I spoke as I moved a step closer to her. Let's focus on finding information in this run.

-Spreigh!

A weird noise came from my feet as I saw a magic circle activating beneath my feet, beginning to produce a fire. And before I knew it… the fire reached all over my body…

"AAAAAA-" I began screaming in pain…

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from the last Save Point!]

"COUGH! COUGH!!" I coughed out loud as I woke up again. On the same bed where I was before, my eyes looking at the dull ceiling.

It took a moment before I calmed myself, as I looked at the System once again.

"Information can go f*ck itself if the pain is going to be so horrifying," I cursed out of irritation as I moved from the bed, stepped out of the room. Took the blades once again before walking towards the window at the edge of the hallway.

"Well. Let's check the outside for now," I muttered as I jumped out of the window, landing on the floor directly.

-Thud!

[-10 HP]

"Ouch!" I felt pain as I saw my HP going down.

[Heal!]

[Heal!]

[Heal!]

[Heal!]

Using [Heal!], I healed myself back to full health, before moving away from there. It would be bad if someone heard me.

Going the other way through the alleyway, I walked silently. The silent night was getting more creepy by the minute as I walked from one point to another. I could literally feel multiple eyes on me.

'All that matters is that I find the source,' I vowed, as I kept running left and right, trying to find anything peculiar.

1 hour later.

"Just how big is this fucking town?" I cursed under my breath as I almost finished the northwest area.

Next was the northeast area…

Though as soon as I tried crossing the central street dividing the east and west area..

"I am afraid, Mr. Adam, but I cannot let you get away from here. It's a matter of reputation," a sweet familiar voice that sent chills down my spine rang into my ears as soon as I stepped on the central street.

Turning around, I saw Amelia walking towards me, one step at a time. This time the monsters were not behind her as she was simply alone, all by herself.

"Please return to your room. The night isn't so forgiving," she spoke with a simple smile which looked more creepy as she moved forward.

Subconsciously terrified, I took a couple of steps back before she warned me again,

"Don't take another step back."

But not listening to her, I did.

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from the last Save Point!]

This time, it was rather painless.

'East it is then,' I nodded, as I believed there had to be something there if she was stopping me from going there.
