White Online-Novel

The walls of the pathway had some kind of slimy substances flowing from the cracks, which colored the walls in brownish colors.

Isaac noticed that the lanterns, which illuminated the pathway in light, were quite strange. Once the slimy substances touched the fire on the lanterns, instead of subduing the fire, it made the fire stronger and made it burn much longer.

He also noticed that the blue crystals, which were used as a light in other caves, were nowhere to be seen. He had seen lanterns being used as the source of light before, but for some reason, the blue crystals were more popular ones.

Especially in the noble households. The blue crystals are used as the source of light, while the lanterns are used mostly in the dark forests as some kind of flashlight.

Isaac thought that it was quite fascinating, and he decided to study more about the usages of the blue crystals.

While in deep in his thoughts. The Players arrived at the entrances of the five paths.

Everyone stopped and looked at the symbols on the top of the paths with a frown.

They couldn't see the symbols before because the pathway was dimly lit, and even in front of the paths, they could barely see the cravings.

Isaac narrowed his eyes and looked at the symbols of every path.

The first path had a symbol of a man who was facing sideways. There were two arrows pointing at the ear, while the face of a man looked confused.

The second path had also a symbol of a man, but this time the face was looking straight at them with two arrows pointing at the mouth.

The third path had a symbol of a woman with two arrows pointing at the nose, and her face had obvious signs of being annoyed.

The fourth path had a symbol of a woman with two arrows pointing at her eyes, and the pupils of the eyes were white.

The fifth path had a symbol of a man in a wheelchair. His face looked like it was in pain while two arrows were pointing at his two legs.

''What do you think this means?'' Darth turned his body halfway and asked from Isaac.

Isaac didn't answer— instead, he kept looking at the spots where the arrows were pointing.

King Jonathan and Queen Diana were discussing with each other. Since they entered the pathway, everyone became rivals.

No one is planning to help other Duo's.

Many of them think that this is the first test of the Dungeon and a single mistake will cost them dearly.

Isaac looked at the fourth path and tried to see how far it went. His Precision Stat did its magic, and he actually saw the end of the path!

At the end of the path, he saw a small room with a large eye symbol on the wall, and there were hundreds of holes on the walls.

The holes were quite small but large enough to fit a small rock. Isaac tried to look at the room more closely and saw the floor of the room having hundreds of tiles, and each one of them had different eye colors.

There were also tiles with the same eye color.

Darth scratched his head while looking at the symbols. He had a headache forming after trying to use his brain to its full capacity, but he couldn't find any clues.

But then, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.

*Tap*

*Tap*

He turned his head to see Isaac's beautiful grey eyes gazing at him.

''Let's enter the path.'' Isaac suddenly said.

''Are you sure?'' Darth asked and took a glances towards other Players and saw them being deep in thought.

''I am sure,'' Isaac said with a confident expression and took a quick glance at the Players with Thief class behind him. They were looking at the symbols with a frown, and it seemed like they were having even more difficulties than Darth.

Darth nodded and under the surprised gazes of everyone. He and Isaac entered the fourth path, leaving a stunned crowd of Players behind.

The Thief's looked stunned as well, and they debated whether they should follow behind, but then the Player who was standing right behind Isaac entered the path as well.

He greedily looked at Isaac's gun, and it was a surprise that he didn't start salivating.

''Rolex, where are you going?'' His friends asked with strange looks.

Rolex, the Player who entered the path, rolled his eyes and started writing a message for them.

[Rolex: We can see how they will do the test and copy them!]

His friends saw the message, and they nodded with understanding.

They entered the path as well, and one of them whispered towards Rolex.

''What if they fail?''

Rolex snorted, ''Then we get their dropped items and know what we shouldn't do.''

His friends nodded with admiration.

Brilliant plan!

Darth heard the footsteps behind them. He curiously looked behind him and was surprised to see a group of Players following them.

''I didn't expect anyone to enter so soon.'' He said with a surprised tone.

Isaac didn't say anything. His focus was on the walls of the pathway.

This time, the walls were rock solid, with the lanterns coloring the pathway in yellowish colors.

He could barely see the carvings on the walls, and each one of the cravings was an eye with white pupils.

Soon, the bright light coming from the small room became much more noticeable.

They stopped at the end of the pathway, and only a meter in front of them was the tiles with an eye symbol.

The first tile in front of them had an eye with a white pupil.

''What is the plan?'' Darth asked and looked behind him. He saw the Players who followed after them, stopped walking 10 meters away from them.

'I see... They want to see how we do it... Or how we fail so they won't make same mistakes.' Darth resisted snorting. Even though it is a cunning plan, there is nothing he can do about it.

''Let me try something... I think I know how this works.'' Isaac said with a firm look.

Darth nodded and stepped to the side. He took his bow in his hand and took two arrows from his quiver and put them on the bowstring.

He is ready to save Isaac at a moment's notice if something happens.

Isaac took a deep breath and felt his heart racing. He looked at the first tile with a white pupil and took a decisive step forwards.

Both of his legs landed on the tile, and instantly the bright room started glowing even brighter, which caused everyone to turn their heads away.

But, Isaac's grey eyes started transforming, and soon they were pure white!

''Wraith, are you alright?!'' Darth asked anxiously after the bright light disappeared.

''U-Umm...'' Isaac looked around him in confusion, ''Darth, did the light suddenly go off?''

Darth frowned, ''What are you talking about?''

''Is it dark or not?'' Isaac asked one more time, with sweat trickling down his beautiful face.

''No,'' Darth said and felt like something was wrong.

Isaac's face went pale, ''D-Darth.... I-I think I became blind!''
