Step by step, Lin traversed countless meters within the dark cave, hoping to find a way out of this place. He didn't know exactly how much time had passed on the surface, but he suspected it had been about three days since he was transported to the Magic World, after that incident in the academy's dining hall.
Along the way, Lin mostly encountered various insects that were infected by the Distortion. He suspected that the insects which bit him on his first day here also came from this place and had simply been distorted by Shot.
That explained many things Lin hadn't understood.
Slowly climbing up the rocky slope, Lin looked upward and realized he was very close to reaching a new level of the cave.
"I'm climbing higher and higher... Just how deep was I inside? I don't know how many meters or kilometers I've ascended, but the number certainly isn't small..." he sighed and continued climbing.
