I hold the torch in one hand as I walk forward carefully down.

With this dark and eerie atmosphere, I’ll be easy prey if I let my guard down.

I keep walking steadily when…

“Hm!?”

I hear some sounds approaching me.

I drew my sword at once.

But as I prepared for battle…

“What…?”

Some bats came flying out.

I crouch down a bit expecting something coming at me but…

“Bats…”

I never expected bats to come out.

And it’s just a bunch of regular ones too…

“Well, that was a bit of trouble.”

I sighed.

I sheathe my sword and continue on forward.

I continue walking.

*ta ta ta ta

My footsteps were the only sound heard within the stairway.

*ta ta ta ta

The sound slowly became louder as I went deeper.

And although it was still faint, I began to hear moans and the sound of flesh being dragged through the ground.

I brace myself for what lies ahead.

After half an hour, the light of the torch began to illuminate a wooden door.

“This is where I go.”

I slowly descended down.

As I stood before the door, I heard loud sounds behind it.

Majority of those who perished died beyond these doors.

I also felt a stronger and more malevolent energy as I grew closer underground.

What lies beyond this door is a horrific tragedy of where countless innocent lives were lost.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Each soul was cursed and chained down by their own tormented memories and agonizing deaths and still they lie trapped here.

“And it falls to me to complete my task.”

This is a large burden…

I was aware of the burden I bear when I desired to end everything.

Still, after encountering this dreadful feeling once more, I can’t help but shudder at the thought of what I’ll face beyond this door.

“Regardless, I won’t back down.”

I don’t have much to lose regardless.

I grasp the door knob and proceed forward to face the horrors that lurk beyond it.

Little did I know…

Of the depths and abyss of despair that took hold of those that remain imprisoned within this mansion.

And… the true extent of that man’s sins…

Greetings everyone. I've posted the last chapters for this year. I'll post again on January. I'm a bit busy at this time of the year. So an early Merry Christmas to everyone. Also, I'd like some help finding a certain novel I like. I forgot the title so I'm having some difficulty finding it. Well, I've read it so I'll tell you what I remember. The MC had 10 teachers who were spirits who repaired his body allowing him to progress further and then they left. The MC also had a roommate called Blue who is actually a girl named Scarlett who is slightly interested in him. That's pretty much all. I'd like some help knowing the title. Thank you.
