Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 62

Going through the door, I walked down the cave-like passageway that looked completely different from the hallways of the infirmary behind me, which would make anyone do a double-take as if it were some sort of illusion.

After less than a minute of walking, I reached a familiar-looking door, which was the closed door in the secret boss room.

It was a metallic-looking door that looked worn down and heavy. When I approached it, it did not open for me, so I placed my hand on it to see if it would work, and it did.

However, as the doors opened, the secret boss room I was expecting was not there; instead, I saw nothing. The door that just opened revealed to me a place that was filled with nothingness, like a pitch-black void.

What the... This can't be right. The boss room was supposed to be past the door; why isn't it here? Did Lumina send me to the wrong place or something? No, that can't be right either...

Hearing the sound of rushing water, I wondered what it was till I saw a massive amount of water suddenly fall into the empty void, and then the water suddenly began flooding the passageway I was in, somehow.

You have to be kidding me.

I felt the force of the rushing water slamming onto my body. Disoriented, I tried my best to hold onto something as the rabidly flowing water was trying to drag me with it.

I held onto the thing I was holding as hard as I could until the water stopped moving. Opening my eyes, I saw the passageway I was in was filled with water, and the empty void past the door was too somehow. I wonder if the infirmary is all right, but the doors should be strong enough to hold against the water slamming into it.

Looking out at my surroundings, I try my best to calm down from this absurd situation and quickly assess it.

Seeing the empty void outside the door filled with water, I saw what seemed to be sunlight starting to pierce through the deep, dark water.

Maybe that is where I can make my way out of here. I should decide now because I was on a time limit. In my past life, I could hold my breath underwater for 4-5 minutes while moving, so in this life I got about 2-3 minutes to see if the sunlight was a way out, and if it was not, I could make my way back to the infirmary for Lumina to let me in if it was the case.

Without a moment to lose, I began swimming. I remember my training to ignore my instinct to breathe as I continued swimming up to the light.

Going up, the sunlight began getting brighter and brighter, and I could see a glimpse of a bright blue sky.

It's good to see that, but where does this lead me, and more importantly, why is this all happening? One thing after another keeps happening. It's almost like I have the luck of the main character of a story, where things like this keep happening to them.

Maybe it's because Alex's own main character's luck is rubbing off on me.

Nearing the surface of the water, my hand broke through the surface tension, which made me feel relief that this wasn't an illusion or something.

My head now out of the water, I gasped for air as I immediately turned my head to look at my surroundings.

I saw a familiar-looking sun and lots of sand. I then saw palm trees and, strangely, tents in the distance.

Am I still in the dungeon? Is this the third stratum?

Looking at the tents again, I confirmed that they were tents, which led me to believe I was on the 29th floor, specifically the water hole where the 29th-floor village was.
