--Volume VI: Into the Darkness-- Up until this moment... everything I planned, everything I wanted to happen, everything I worked for to be good had gone wrong. Becoming a wiera, Justin's death, the attack at the academy, the whole Holar continent stuff, the mess Paul created... At the end of it all, I somehow got what I wanted, but it was never perfect. Every time, every damn time, I lost something... or realized too late that something was wrong. I say I'm smart, but no... not even close. I…-

I looked with great interest at the corridors with white walls that we walked through. Dwarf technology... was one of the things that really intrigued me. Well... I also had to work really hard to get here. So I couldn't help but feel justified in examining it. Three weeks, three whole weeks... twenty-one days! That's how long I had to wait to get here. Rector Melany believing what I said, testing that I wasn't lying, saying she would consider my request, contacting the dwarves, them also testing…

Lucia on my right and Sue on my right, the first thing I saw when we made it out of the gate was the bright light of the sun hitting my face. It was such a strange feeling that it took me a while to come to my senses. When we were on the plain, we were always under the green sky. And... it didn't have a sun. So there was never a source of warm light that could shine so directly on my face. And our last week in the dungeon was... completely underground. I had never seen proper light, let alone the…

Silence is perhaps the thing that exists most in this huge place, along with darkness... Now, it had fallen heavily once again. Adrian's words were a real shock to Lucia and me. Even more shocking... Attracta didn't object to anything. On the contrary... "Well done, I didn't expect that much." She was approving him. "True, I prefer the coldness of death to being trapped here any longer. And... true again, I am the being this dungeon considers the boss. So, if you kill me, you can actually get…

I turned my eyes to Sue. She had been staring straight ahead for a while, probably checking the status window. And judging by the changes in her facial expression... everything the gigantic woman in front of us had said was true. We were talking to a Lord. A god. I swallowed, glanced at Lucia, who looked as surprised as we were. No, surprised was not the right word. It was as if she was out of her mind, absent-minded. She was in shock. I turned my head again, looking at the chains wrapped around…

"Life, of course, has its importance." Even her voice... even her voice was too beautiful. It was a bit strange, though... because it sounded like several people talking at the same time. But that didn't change the fact that it was beautiful. Even like that, it was beautiful enough to blow my mind. And, so, I took another step. "Snap out of it, human." Her words echoed in my ears and burned into my body. They were not simple words. It was like... an order. And I obeyed that order, even if I…

The first thing I could feel was... cold. A strange cold that enveloped my whole body. And the darkness behind my closed eyes, a familiar one. It didn't take me long to realize I was awake, I reflexively moved my finger. I was on a wet floor, a little... sticky. And cold. I paused for a moment. Slowly, everything came into my mind. What happened, why I was here... I remembered touching that extremely beautiful woman, being surrounded by water and vines. And then... nothing. I tried to remember, I…

"Ugh…" A slight tremor spread through my body, accompanied by a slight ache. It wasn't bad, though. It wasn't even something I should take seriously. I opened and closed my eyes several times to clarify them, trying to sit up from where I was lying. The first thing I saw was... darkness. Darkness with no end in sight. Immediately after that, something fell on my face... a drop of cold water. For a moment, my whole body froze, my eyes widened. I remembered where I was, why I was in this…

The boss room... was really big. In fact, it was the biggest I've ever been in in my life. Although... was it right to simply call it a 'room'? It was more like... an extremely big place. As I passed through the opening in the door, I continued to examine inside. Everything was pitch black. My vision... was limited to three or four meters, beyond which it seemed to disappear into infinity. Yet there was one thing I could see quite clearly. Somewhere up ahead, really far ahead... there were lights…

The soothing blue energy he had been using so often lately enveloped his body once more. It was quickly drawn into his right fist, concentrated. Soon, the mana joined it. He didn't care to be noticed, he didn't care to be pounced upon by the creature in the darkness. He just... clenched his fist, tensed it, and waited. A few meters stood between him and the creature. And, still, he waited. A few inches between the creature's claw and his face. And, finally, he stopped waiting. The breath he…
