''Whew…'' Beads of sweat trickled down his delicate face. Isaac used the back of his hand to wipe them away.

With sweaty palms, he picked up the ball he chose. However, the choice was rather surprising. He didn't choose red or blue, instead chose both.

He held the two balls in his palms, waiting for anything to happen.

Ding! Ding!

[Congratulations, Player Wraith!]

[Hidden Dungeon Unlocked!]

''Haaah!'' The balls slipped from his hand. They bounced on the ground before coming to a stop. Isaac's heart raced. It was a total gamble, and there was only a 33% chance of being right.

Creak!

A stone door emerged from the rock wall. The ground had scratching marks like the door was opened and closed several times, and the bottom frame of the door was touching the door during that time. A shimmer of light seeped through from the other side of the door.

Isaac pushed the door open. The door was hefty, forcing Isaac to use all the strength he could utter from his hidden muscles.

Screech!

The loud screech echoed in the closed space. Soon, the door was wide open. Once Isaac stepped inside, the door closed behind him.

BAM!

The pebbles rolled on the ground, and dust seeped through the crevices of the wall. The sound of water spattering against rocky ground echoed in the cramped pathway.

Ding! Ding!

[First Hidden Dungeon Found!]

[Player Wraith, Challenger!]

[Hidden Dungeons 1/10]

Isaac didn't pay any attention to the notifications. But, the outside world did.

…

Thousands of Players roamed around the Beast Forest. Some of them had already found clues and were about to reach the location of the second clue.

Then, a loud dinging noise rang in everyone's ears.

Ding! Ding!

[First Hidden Dungeon Found!]

[Player Wraith, Challenger!]

[Hidden Dungeons 1/10]

''What?!'' A shocked screams rang in the broad forest. The Players who recognized the name were utterly amazed and also anxious. Everyone had felt relaxed after no one had found Hidden Dungeon for an hour.

But, now someone did!

That caused erratic movements in almost every party.

Deep in the woods, Queen Diana came to a stop. Her eyes widened in surprise after the sudden notification.

She wasn't the only one. Every Black Arrow member was moving alone, and all of them were shocked to find out the name of Wraith in the notification.

On top of a large hill. A handsome Knight with short blond hair and a well-defined facial structure examined the paper in his hands.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry. Below the slope of the hill, he could see glimpses of anxious players running around.

Some players noticed him. However, when they noticed the Golden Crown on the blond-haired man's armor, they turned around and left.

King Jonathan skimmed through the test. The paper held every clue he needed. However, the clues weren't as simple as Isaac's.

The clues were some kind of riddles, and those enigmas led him to this hill. Do you want to read more chapters ?

Apparently, he was supposed to see the Hidden Dungeon there. However, could see nothing except a horde of trees.

Ding! Ding!

Out of nowhere, a large holographic screen appeared in the sky out of thin air.

[First Hidden Dungeon Found!]

[Player Wraith, Challenger!]

[Hidden Dungeons 1/10]

King Jonathan's eyes widened in surprise, ''Wraith… He is indeed… A formidable opponent.'' He pocketed the paper and stood up.

''No time to waste.'' He scanned the forest and noticed three spots where the Hidden Dungeon could be. His armor rattled as he leaped into the air. His majestic figure moved across the air as he came closer to the Hidden Dungeon!

Marvin and his group of troublemakers reached a place of the second clue in the other part of the woods. Then, the notification appeared.

''Hahaha!'' Marvin roared in laughter. His friends followed with their own laughs.

''Well then, let's do this!'' He yanked the paper from the tree and saw another clue, ''Ins, you are good with this shit, aren't you?''

Ins took the paper and skimmed through the text. Only a minute later, he nodded, ''We should be standing on top of it.''

''Eh?'' Marvin frowned and looked below them.

Ins pocketed the paper that showed a map with a red cross. Even though it was very badly drawn, and coordinates were nonexistent, Ins still could figure out where the red mark was pointing at.

''Alright, who shall try it out?'' Marvin asked and began to discuss it with his friends.

Soon, they came to a conclusion. They will decide with a game of rock, paper, and scissors.

Not far from them. A group of three beautiful women strolled in the forest. However, came to a stop after noticing the notification.

''Amazing…'' Hellsky muttered with a look of amazement.

SnowMaiden and WinterLove looked at the floating screen. Their hearts raced after realizing that they could meet with him for the first time in a week.

''Alright, girls!'' Hellsky clapped her soft hands and pulled out a scrap of paper, ''The Hidden Dungeon should be close. Let's do this!''

…

Isaac wandered in the dimly lit paths. The only light was from the crevices. The shimmer of light of the sun enveloped the path slowly.

Soon, Isaac reached the end of the path. He stepped out of the dimly lit path and entered a spacious cavern.

In the middle of the cavern was a beautiful lake. The water was clear, reflecting the cavern's ceiling. At the bottom of the lake were shining rocks. Glowing in purple, blue, red, orange, and golden colors.

Isaac's breath stopped momentarily after seeing the scene. Then, he resumed walking and soon reached the edge of the lake.

Isaac bent down and touched the cold water. The surface of the water reflected his figure, and once touching it, the reflection rippled.

His reflection became unclear. Then, the waves calmed down, and he could see his beautiful face.

Ding! Ding!

Isaac's thoughts were interrupted, and a holographic screen emerged out of thin air.

[Hidden Dungeon - First Test]

[Test of Temptation!]

[Good Luck, Player Wraith!]
