would gonon find such a key with an
arsenal of weapons at her disposal she
instinctively considered a Brute Force
approach without hesitation she
brandished her iron ax and struck the
copper lock with all her might yet it
remained inscathed even her Green
Quality weapon proved feudal I in
frustration gonon resorted to Casting
her skill corrosive Black Rain
unfortunately the lock remained
undeterred with no sign of damage
whatsoever stumped she found herself in
a predicament this lock was impervious
and attempts to store the chest in her
system backpack yielded no results it
seemed the only option left was to
search for the key but where could it
possibly be found guon tion surveyed her
surroundings continuing her Quest she
meticulously reexamined the area but an
hour had already elapsed and she was
still at a loss what had begun as a
straightforward dungeon had devolved
into an escape room aside from the chest
she had thoroughly scoured every nook
and cranny suddenly an idea sparked in
her mind she returned to the chest
lifting it with her left hand the chest
elevated slightly yet no peculiar object
sprang forth hope surged within her
however the seemingly light wooden chest
was deceptively heavy with her strength
rating of 10 she could barely lift it
making it difficult to ascertain if
there was a key hidden beneath it is
often said that in par environments one
should never part with their weapons yet
faced with no other choice she set her
staff aside and exerted all her might to
raise the chest after several attempts
her arms strained and rened fatigue
beginning to set in with no other
recourse she altered her strategy from
lifting to pushing planting her feet
firmly on the ground she held her breath
and exerted all her strength forward it
te last the chest began to budge guan's
heart soared with hope she pushed
intermittently for over 10 minutes
finally managing to shift the chest from
its original position yet still there
was no sign of a key and the chest
remained unchanged with little time left
in the dungeon and no clear Direction
guon tion sank to the ground in despair
sweat dripping from her brow her face
flushed was she destined to be trapped
here what had promised to be a monster
slaying dungeon had transformed into an
escape room she lamented to herself her
gaze wandered despondently around her
she had inspected every corner even
probing the earn walls above her with
her staff in no hidden compartments no
mechanisms sitting there she became
acutely aware of the damp and unpleasant
atmosphere the oppressive Darkness
closing in as the countdown to clear the
dungeon dwindled to just half an hour a
faint creeping sense of panic began to
swell within her she understood that if
she did not Escape within the allotted
time she would either be obliterated by
the system or permanently confined here
being trapped was akin to a slow suicide
the food in her system backpack would
eventually deplete while she could
exchange her resources for food at the
trading post it would ultimately run out
without sustenance she would starve here
moreover prolonged isolation could drive
a person to Madness for guon tion it
would be far more merciful to meet a
swift end suddenly a thought struck her
the insects typically minor adversaries
would at least drop materials even if no
Treasure Chest appeared
yet this time there had been nothing
even more perplexing in this Survival
game it was customary for defeated minor
foes to vanish instantly yet this time a
multitude of corpses lay scattered there
had to be a reason behind it deanon
sprang into action racing back to where
she had come from earlier she had passed
through a thick mound of slime now it
dawned on her that it could very well
conceal a key guonan sprinted back
without hindrance quickly returning to
