"No way, even the laziest person can't sleep for too long, can they?"

Aliyah looked incredulous.

"Well, what else then? Why haven't we seen a single god until now?"

"Just think about it."

After thinking for a moment, Aliyah confidently replied.

"Just think about it, gods in novels usually exist in more than one realm, right? Maybe they manage different worlds, that's why they're not here."

"That actually makes sense... but we don't know for sure, after all, we've only been in this world for a few months."

"Yeah, that's true... Wish we had researched some related information, like miracles."

"Speaking of which, Yabber should know more about this. I'll tell him I'm interested and ask him sometime."

"Will you then have the title of 'Saint'?"

"Hahaha..."

I chuckled and pointed ahead.

"Anyway, let's keep moving. This temple looks really big, and if we keep dragging our feet, who knows when we'll finish exploring."

"That's true. This place is much better for leveling up than those treasuries, of course, it means we'll have to fight more monsters."

"And we can also gain some experience along the way... right?"

"Pretty much."

After walking along the corridor for about fifteen minutes, both Aliyah and I became more serious.

"I was about to say..."

Before I could finish, Aliyah interrupted me.

"I know what you're going to say, but let me assure you, I've been using my keen wolf eyes to confirm the entire corridor, and we definitely didn't hit a dead end. None of those fine lines on the wall repeated."

"Is that so... no dead end... could it be that we're walking in a loop?"

"It's impossible, isn't it? If it were a circular path, we would still see the same patterns."

"You're right... so why?"

I stopped and shone my flashlight around the walls before walking up to one of them.

Staring at it for a while, I tapped on the wall.

Sure enough, the indestructible marks remained.

...

Huh?

Right after those marks appeared, I suddenly noticed something off. The lines next to the indestructible marks should have been parallel to the ground, but now, they were at an angle of about 10 degrees...

An angle?

The thought flashed through my mind, and suddenly, I felt my body becoming strange!

I lost my balance and started tilting forward in the direction we were heading!

I quickly drew a short dagger and stabbed at the wall, but the indestructible mark left me instantly hopeless.

"Whoa..."

The dagger scraped against the wall, creating sparks, but I was thrown forward!

No, not thrown forward, but falling down.

Because at that moment, I felt gravity coming from the end of this corridor, not from the floor I was on earlier.

The descent was fast, and I quickly summoned my ice skateboard, trying to reduce the impact of the fall.

I felt my speed gradually slowing down, but my flashlight had already fallen down.

So I had to summon a light sphere.

But...

Just as the light sphere flew over my head, I looked up and saw a shadow falling above me!

"Catch..."

Before the other person could finish their sentence, they crashed into me directly, and we both crashed to the ground!

Yes, although I stopped, I was probably only five to ten meters away from the floor. This time, I was thrown from mid-air to the ground.

"Oh my god!"

The hoverboard couldn't handle such an abrupt impact, and before we could accelerate, we crashed to the ground!

Of course, the hoverboard shattered upon impact!

I never expected to crash into the floor with a girl for the second time today. Is this some kind of punishment or something else?

"Seriously, didn't I tell you to catch me?"

The other person sat on top of me, still shouting.

"Come on, could you at least have given me a ten-second warning? You fell so silently, how was I supposed to catch you?"

"Well, the result is the same anyway."

This time, she got up from me quite willingly and dusted herself off.

"Yes, it is for you."

I also got up directly and picked up the flashlight beside me.

I looked around, and the whole surroundings were walls, except for a stone door, there was nothing else.

"No flying... but walls all around. It looks like we only have one way to go."

"Can't you still use your hoverboard?"

"Yes, but look."

As I said that, I summoned the hoverboard and hopped on.

The storm beneath the hoverboard had already started spinning at full speed, but I slowly descended with no signs of going up.

"Ah, so it can only provide cushioning, but not flying."

"Yeah."

"Then we can only open the door. Watch me."

Walking quickly to the stone door, Aliyah quickly surveyed the door in front of her.

"Well... no keyhole, no buttons, not even anything to operate... what is this?"

"...so you mean we can't open it?"

"..."

Aliyah thought for a moment, then took out a chainsaw and started working on the stone door!

But as the chainsaw cut into the door, sparks flew. Strange, what kind of stone is this? It feels like metal.

"Damn it, still can't break it!"

Aliyah put away the chainsaw.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to stay here for a while."

Just as I said that, the stone door suddenly opened with a loud bang!

That wasn't the most surprising part; the most surprising thing was...

"Fran?"

"Hi~ isn't this our dead friend Fir? Long time no see~"

Yes, the one who appeared was our old friend, Kelany Redleaf, our senior sister Fran.
