MMORPG: The Tales of Souls

"I see ..." Liu Yang was thoughtful when he heard the old man's story.

"Master, what are we going to do now?"

"Can you take me to the place where the fish are?" Liu Yang was curious about this place. Maybe there is some kind of clue there on how to get the deed.

"Yes" Nina guided Liu Yang to the mansion's basement. The entrance was through the old man's room, there was a secret entrance that went down to the basement.

Liu Yang had to shrink his three beasts so that they could pass through the doors without a problem.

The old man's room is in the center of the mansion, but it was also the largest room there is. A normal room occupies a small part of one of the floors, the old room occupies half of an entire floor. The room was fully decorated with all kinds of expensive, high-quality furniture.

"Master, the secret passage is this way" Silali ran and pressed a secret button hidden behind a book on the shelf. She already knew where the button was hidden.

The ground shook before a secret passage was opened, but nothing appeared.

"Master, the button to open the passage is on the shelf, but the secret passage is under the bed. Silali waved her hand and the big bed was moved to the side.

A hidden ladder appeared, the descent did not seem to end.

"Can anyone throw a ball of light down there?"

"Yes" Nina waved her hand and a ball of white light rolled down the stairs. But no matter how far the sphere went, the end did not appear.

"It looks like this place is a little bit special. We can only find out about it after we get in. Are you ready?" Liu Yang understood that something was preventing them from seeing the interior.

"Yes"

"Roar"

"I will go first, you follow me" As the beasts were reduced in size. They became easier to carry. Nina and Sophie were holding their mares in their arms, Horse 1 and Horse 2, while Liu Yang had Little White on top of his head, Little Blue and Little Black on his shoulders, each on one side.

The instant the group descended the stairs, the system sound made a warning on Liu Yang's screen.

Ding… Ding…

"Warning"

"The player entered a Special Instance: The Fish Basement"

"To receive the reward, the player must go to the bottom of the sea."

"There is no time limit. If you fail, you will be sent out of the instance and will only be able to try again in one month "

(Special Instance !!!!) Liu Yang was shocked to discover that there was an instance within the city, even more, surprised because that instance was inside a house.

(It seems that the reward at the end of this instance is the deed of the mansion.) Liu Yang imagined this, but he didn't understand why the creators created a quest that had nothing related with the mansion's owner. That sort of thing was out of the question.

Liu Yang had forgotten something important in his thinking. He was playing a game.

If creators wanted to, they could create something even more meaningless. That sort of thing exists within the game, but Liu Yang hasn't found that kind of situation yet. This was the first time that he saw this kind of situation.

The stairs went down to the bottom of the mansion, the group took a while to go down the stairs.

When they reached the ground, the entire place was lit up with a bluish-white light.

The scenery that appeared before the group was breathtaking. The group appeared to be in the middle of a large ocean.

Thousands of fish of all sizes were swimming back and forth as they followed the waves. Crustaceans and many other types of aquatic animals walking on the ocean floor.

"Master, this is beautiful" The girls were delighted with this scene, as it was very beautiful and exotic.

"Roar !!!" The animals also found the landscapes beautiful.

Liu Yang's ability to see souls was active, but nothing has changed. The scene before them was real and not an illusion created.

"Master, do you know where we have to go?" The group was inside a kind of place in the water. There was no water in the place where the group was, just outside.

Liu Yang opened the map to see where they are, but nothing was shown. The map says the location was unknown.

"Can you analyze the location to see if there is anything here?"

"No" Nina, Alexali, and Silali could not detect anything wrong on the spot.

"Let's go for a walk and see what we can find. Girls, always try to analyze the place to see if there is something wrong or not. "That was the only option left.

"Yes Master"

The group started walking randomly around the place, without the map, they didn't know which way to go. Nina, Alexali, and Silali were on alert as they scan the areas around them.

After walking for almost half an hour, the group found nothing wrong. It looked like the place was just a large area built under the ocean.

(This is not right. The quest says that I need to go to the bottom of the sea, but so far, none of us have managed to find anything that can take us to the bottom of the sea.) Liu Yang was thoughtful, he knew he must have some way for them to leave the place and go outside. Because they were inside something that was inside the ocean.

When the group looks down, they can see more water and fish swimming, but at the same time, great darkness in a certain area far away from them.

The group continued walking aimlessly from side to side. Until they finally realized something was wrong.

"Master, haven't we been through this place before?" Nina pointed to the giant turtle that was sleeping on the water's surface.

"Now that you commented ..." Liu Yang finally realized what was going on.

"Master, it looks like we've been going around in circles for a few hours." Sophie also realized this after hearing Nina's words.

"We are going to walk a little more. Mark the floor with something, if we see that mark again. It shows that we are in some kind of invisible labyrinth. "

"Yes master" The group continued to wander from side to side.

The walking lasted a few more hours until they finally arrived at the same location as before.

"Master, look !!! This is the mark we left a few hours ago "Silali picked up a diamond that she had dropped on the floor.

"Let's keep going" The group followed the same path as before.

"Master, this is my item"

"Master, this is mine"

…

Each of the girls threw their marks at different locations. They wanted to be sure that they were inside an invisible maze.

How each of the girls found the item they left on the floor again. This proves that they were really in a kind of maze, but how are they going to get out?
