Here is Chapter 5. :P
=============================================================================================
Continue from our last chapter, our unlucky MC ( Xan ) is still looking for another way out of the room.
“Who are you calling unlucky!? By the way, who are you?”
Even though I shine in every chapter you still don’t know me? Never mind, I forgive you since I am awesome. I am the legendary Narrator.
“We are getting off track here now. So let’s get back to the story.”
Can you believe it, he ignore me…..
***
“I have checked every brick and stone but still nothing…. Well maybe it is in the ceiling?”
Then I look up and stare at the ceiling. I estimate that it is at least 4 meter high.
“How in the world am I going to jump that high….. There got to be another way out.”
Then I review where I haven’t checked yet. After a few moments of brainstorming,
“Maybe the key is the candleholders on the wall? The candles are the only things here I did not inspect. Ok I will try it out.”
I went to a candleholder and try to pull it in but it did not budge. I try to push it in to, it also did not move. Then I try to turn it from the right to left, it finally moves and it move all the way to an upside down position.
I hold my breath waiting for something to happen. After waiting for a few minutes nothing happen.
“………… Nothing happen….. What the hell….”
I stare at it for another 5 minutes until,
“Alright this is not going to get me anywhere. Maybe I need to turn another candle?”
I went to a nearby candleholder and turn it again.
Now the candleholder I am facing is upside down.
Again I waited for another 5 minutes,
“Seriously?”
Again I went to another candleholder and turn it upside down and wait for 5 minutes and nothing happens.
“…….”
And again I went to another candleholder to turn it upside down. I did this until I am on the last candleholder that is not upside down.
“If this could not work then I am screwed. Wish me luck.”
My heart pounds as I turn the candleholder,
Ba thump Ba thump Ba thump
With a sound, tusk, the candleholder is now upside down.
Then I suddenly the ground shake….
“What the…..”
Trying to gain my balance back as I was surprise by the shake….
Then suddenly
“???? What does it feel like my blood is going in to my head….. Ah!!!!”
Crash
“OW……..ow…..”
I fell down from 3 meters high.
“I think the room turns upside down too….”
Ow… I stand up while nursing my head… I did fall head first…
Then I look around, nothing has change except that the candles are now at a higher place.
Oh yeah the door is also 3 meters from the ground. :P
Staring at the door….
“Guess I am not using the door…”
Walking across towards the door while thinking about a way out.
When I reach the middle of the room, I notice that the middle is platform. And this is the exact time the metal platform gave way.
“Wha…..”
I begin to fall again.
“NOT AGAINNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
CRASH…….
I am now groaning on the floor.
“Ow…..”
It takes me 10 minutes to get up.
“I can’t see a thing… Its pitch black…”
After a few more minutes my eyes got use to the dark then I start to check my surroundings.
This time check my surroundings and did not move from my position……. In case… you know… I might fall another time.
“I guess I am not going up. I think I fell a long way.” I stare at the darkness above.
After looking around, I only find a tunnel leading to……………….. wherever it leads.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
“Well, it’s the only passage accessible, guess I am going for another walk down a dark passageway.”
And it had to happen, I did not even reach my tenth step when I step on a pressure plate and trigger something.
“OH.. C’MON!”
I look around for the trap and that’s when I hear a lot of hissing sounds coming from the room I just exit.
Then I start to run, and I would like to say that I ran as if my life is on the line but, well technically speaking my life is already on the line when I enter the secret passageway.
Suddenly I come to a T-junction,
“Oh boy…”
Hisssssssss hsssssss
“No time to think about it.” So I take the right turn.
Suddenly I see blades poking up on the ground.
“Not again…” Then I sped up and jump over it and I made it since it is only is 1 meter along the floor.
And again after another turn I see that I have to crawl to get through since the wall is low,
“But if I crawl, they will catch up.”
So I use my momentum to let me slide across, after I am on the other side I came to a T-junction again.
And so I continue to make turns, jumps and slides with the things chasing behind me.
After what seems like hours, the things are still on the chase and that is when
“I got a feeling of deja-vu…. This seems so familiar….”
Then realization struck me,
“This is just like…. TEMPLE RUN!!!! Except that there aren’t any power ups and coins for me to pick up.”
The next thing I did after I say this is I step on another pressure plate!
“Why!!!”
I look in front of me frantically and finally notice that the wall ahead is coming together.
“It is going to trap me in here! Tsk!”
“I am not going to be food!!!!!!!” I scream out and sped up and went in
“Ah!!!!!!! Faster!!! Faster!!!!”
And then I burst out on the other side barely making it and try to slow to a walk.
I am so tired that I did not notice that the floor is no longer under my legs.
“eh? Ah!!!!!”
Woosh
This time it’s like a slippery slide.
And soon my scream become a cheer
“WOOOOOO!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!”
I am now sliding down whatever this thing is at a terrifying speed.
Then I feel like it is curving up and then I find myself in open air and in front of me I see rocks jutting out with a spike shape.
“eh?”
BAM
My head smash into the tip of a rock resulting in destroying the tip and making me spin anti-clockwise until my head hit another rock and turn me spinning clockwise and coincidently I fall into another slippery slide.
This time the slide is not as smooth as the last a.k.a I keep bumping my head as I slide down.
By the time I reach the bottom I have at least bump my head more than 30 times. My hp has also dropped alot.
Health:
It took me awhile to stand up again.
And what I see shock me, it’s like a underground ruin or temple or a hideout. There is faint light coming out of some stones. There is also a river and buildings.
“Who’s there?”
I heard a voice and turn around to look…
