53 Chapter 1: Ruins (1/2)

”Argh...” I muttered as i opened my eyes

I felt the light which emanated from the sun slowly blind me as i stared at it.

”Where am i..?” I asked myself as i slowly got up

That's right... That guy was there and... We fell into a teleportation circle... What did he do..? Did he send us to a lower floor?

”Damn it! I wasn't able to do anything... ” I said as i punched the ground in anger

No... He didn't send us to a lower floor... I recall him saying he wanted me to get stronger... Sending us to a lower floor would have killed us and this doesn't seem like any of the upper floors we've been to which means...

”We're outside! Where shou-” I shouted

Before i finished i realised... Serena and Ariel weren't there. I looked around in haste and couldn't find anyone.

”We weren't teleported to the same place..? Serena!!! Ariel!!! Where are you guys!?” I shouted out as i got up

I began searching around the ruin. It was a broken building which had black painted stones on the walls. It was missing a roof and had a few cracks. As i searched around the ruin i finally noticed.

You're kidding me, right..? I muttered as i stared at what was outside of the ruins

Trees everywhere, the ruin was beside a giant tropical forest

-------------------------------------------

”Where am I..?” Muttered Serena as she opened her eyes

She had woken up on top of a tree branch

”A forest..? Where's John and Serena..?” She asked as she looked around

Ariel who had just realised that her friends were missing, did her best to stay calm

”Serena said something about a teleportation circle... Meaning we were all teleported somewhere... Are we still in the dungeon..? Or...”

She looked down and surveyed the area

”No monsters... It should be safe... I Still have my staff with me... So i should be fine...”

[John and Serena were probably teleported elsewhere... I don't have any time to waste... I need to find them...

----------------------------------------------------

”Mn...” Muttered Serena as she opened her eyes

She opened her eyes and began to hastily look around

She was on top of a tree branch in the middle of a forest which she didn't recognise. However, that was the least of her worries.

”I can't sense John or Ariel... Looks like they're not nearby... I knew it was a trap... I mean why would we just enter a random basement who had no lighting...” She muttered to herself as she let out a sigh

She stretched out her arms and jumped down
