Shane stood in the cave as he observed the corrupted mana crystals…
He didn't move yet as he was worried.
He had previously tried entering the deepest part of this place, but someone from within stopped him.
He was told that he wasn't ready yet, and soon, he passed out and woke up in the outside world, cutting short his visit within this pocket dimension.
"I'll just stay in the vicinity, okay? I'm not going to go deeper. Just let me collect some crystals, please?" Shane said, announcing his presence to the spirit or living being staying in his cave.
Well, he wasn't sure if that would work, but it was better to try it than not.
After not getting a reply from the mysterious being inside, Shane assumed that this was already permission.
As he stepped inside and walked for a few meters, the corrupted energy grew stronger, almost like a heartbeat, and he could feel the instability in the air.
It was dangerous, but it was also a resource unlike any other.
