Another human standing in the middle of the swamp was pierced as a large icicle shot out from the water’s surface, suspending him in the air as another figure ran past him, paying no mind to the fancily suited man.
“five…” Mia spun around, watching a group of well dressed humans pass by the recently impaled one, who began pulling himself off of the spike of ice.
“eeeeh…” she squirmed a bit at the sight, before continuing her dash away from them. Ever since she had killed that one lady, she had been encountering these strange humans who pursued her relentlessly. Even if she killed them, they would get right back up, ignoring any damage they had previously taken.
She spun around, eyeing the lady that had started all of this she frowned “Enough.” She slammed into the water, sending a freezing wave of icy wind, freezing the group solid.
Now standing atop a frozen swamp, she carefully waited to see if the figures began moving again, sighing in relief when they didn’t “What is going on…”
It was strange, these humans were clearly out of place, why were they even here?
She approached one of them, tapping on the frozen surface of their face “Kind of gross.” She glanced at the others, all wearing outfits that did not seem to fit with the scenery “More like noble clothes…oh?”
She noticed one of them was off, shorter than the rest. She trotted up to it “Not human?” she tilted her head, she was face to face with another beastman wearing a spotted suit, with long droopy ears of a dog.
“What is a beastman doing with humans?” she checked for a slave collar, upon finding none she was even more confused.
“CROAAA-“not now”-GA?!”
Freezing another monster that had shown up she continued her inspection, there wasn’t any injuries…outside the ones she caused, his clothes were nice, even nicer than some of the ones she was forced to wear as a slave.
“Whatever.” She shrugged. clearly, she wasn’t going to get any answers just standing here staring at a bunch of statues, but where should she go?

A light tapping sound could be heard, as another well dressed human stepped onto the ice, only to be frozen instantly.
“That way.”
Awhile later she was dashing past several more well dressed people, seeing more races then just humans as she made her way deeper into the swamp, all of which she froze solid to prevent them from chasing. She even found herself stopping a few times to admire the more exotic races that stood out, mainly the beastkin.
“Weird, seeing a big fluffy animal in a suit…” she’d find herself saying, staring up at a bearkin 4 times her height dressed nicely in an orange suit before continuing.
She knew she was getting close to something; she could feel it, the frequency of these people was increasing. Before long, her suspicion was confirmed as the swamp opened up, submerged stone replacing the fake floor, crying pillars of stone dotting the landscape instead of trees, and off in the distance she could see a structure that resembled a castle.
“There we go.” Hoping for another way out of this dungeon then going for a swim, she entered the shift in scenery.
The first thing she noticed was the lack of monsters, or even people. The second being she noticed quite a few chests, excited, she rushed up to one.
“No crafting skill orb please.” She swung it open, frowning as soon as she saw cloth.
A blue dress, just her size.
“…”
She gently placed it back into the chest “not THAT stupid…”
As much as she needed new clothes, she wasn’t desperate enough to trust clothes after all she had seen, in fact, she was starting to worry about those skill orbs…
Her face paled “Weren’t chests supposed to trapped?” her heart sank “maybe…it wasn’t a good idea to just use them…” someone had to be making all these clothes…
The image of her being trapped for all eternity making dresses in a dungeon flashed in her mind, shaking the idea out of her head she left the chest alone and continued.
Just to make sure, she tried another, finding a black suit, also conveniently her size by the looks of it. “…” she didn’t know what to make of it, deciding it was best to just ignore the chests.
She continued her way towards the castle, ignoring any and all chests she found along the way, even as they increased in quantity, she paid them no mind. Her walk was uninterrupted, until she came to the foot of the castle.
The castle itself was… typical? The only thing standing out were the streams of water pouring out from its side and a metal gate, in front of which was a giant green…thing…a big figure standing 5 meters high, its body covered in some green, pulsating plant like substance. Unlike all the other monsters, this one was wearing a suit, though it was drenched in the creature’s moisture.
Before she could act, the creature had noticed her. “No entry. For the. Underdressed.”
‘It…talked…?’
