In the next moment I found myself jolted awake. Perhaps by my own will to survive that I awoke, even though that chance had passed.
My hand was on my forehead I looked at the counter in the corner of my screen the flame that was there before was gone, and instead of reading 300s it read 285s.
I had to accept it I had died and pitifully. Yet I couldn't wallow in defeat I had to stand. Now I had experienced death and defeat, and I would had to work hard to avoid it again.
I stood to my feet nearby a bright Crystal hummed beautifully as it floated over a small pool of crystal clear water.
Moving forward I would try once more, except this time I would run directly passed the boss.
Just before I stepped out into the clearing I heard a voice.
"Adventurer before you go will you listen to my words?"
