In front of James, there was a small stone house. Due to the low illumination, he was not able to see the entire scene.
Seeing such a thing here means someone must have been here before. Even though he was a little excited he didn't dare to be careless for the fare of any traps. He carefully went around the house to find any entrance.
Observing the house from all sides he had a basic idea of what it was. It was constructed in a crude way by stacking stone slabs one upon another. And there was a small opening which seemed to be the door while there were no windows. Seeing this James didn't think much and entered the house through the opening.
The area inside was not large. He carefully searched for any resources inside and found a cloth wrap hanging in a corner along the wall. Except for this, there was nothing else. This disappointed James but still, he found something in this dead place, maybe he can get a clue of getting out of here.
After taking a last look around he went back to his place. Even though this stone house seemed sturdy it was colder than outside after being left unused for a long time.
Coming back to the farm he carefully placed the cloth below the fungus. Under the light of the fungus he took out the things in the cloth wrap, there were not many things. There was a small round medal-like thing made up of an unknown metal, a worn-out diary, a folded paper map, and a small piece of candle.
'Such a poor person'
He took out the book which looked like a diary when he opened the diary he found that the language used was not what he had heard of before.
After not understanding anything he was about to put it away when he heard a notification,
{Unknown Language found: (Translating.....)
Translation is completed, now the system will automatically provide the translated message signals to the hosts brain whenever this language is read.}
Seeing this James was really shocked, 'I think the system has many more uses than I know. Needs to be learned step by step.'
This time when he looked at the pages the language was translated to English. He carefully read the diary and found that this was someone personal diary.
"Day 5: I don't know where I am, I have been wandering in this dark place for the last four days and has not found anything. But there is an odd thing in my mind which call itself games panel. I don't know if I have gone crazy and am having hallucinations."
"Day 6: I am not crazy! The game panel is a real thing. Today I lost my hopes of getting out og here and succumbed to my fate. In a despiration I opened the game panel. And found out a miraculous thing. I am not the only one here, there are many more people here. But the world seems to be different. We are not in our world."
"......"
"Day 9: Today some found out about something caed storage in the game panel, when I opened it there is a iron pickaxe inside. I don't know what to do with this thing."
"Day 10: Today I got a bad news, more than 200 people died of thirst. And there is no water in this world. But when looking at my foot there is ICE! I guess the ancient blade king has blessed me."
"Day 11: I guess I have found the wall of this cave. I have been digging the Ice in the wall for more than 10hours but only a small piece was dug. I have not eaten anything for a long time, and I am feeling weak and tired now. I think this is it."
"Day 12: Looks like it is not my time yet. I have traded the ice for beast meat from my fellow warriors, I have never seen this beast before but it tastes good."
......
"Day 16: I am living a leisurely life in here by trading resources for Ice. But today there was a voice from the game saying that the novice protection will end and disaster will struck."
"Day 18: It has been two days since the reminder but there is no change here. I am still enjoying my happy life."
"Day 20: Today is the day before the end of the novice protection and there seems to be some changes in the outside world. But I am safe inside here."
.....
"Day 22: A huge storm and rain struck the outside world for two full day. No one has been in the chat to trade with me. I am now feeling happy to be struck here."
"Day 23: Today I was woken up by a huge sound. I sounded like beating drums. I think there is someone else in here. Fortunately I will not be alone now."
"Day 26: I have been digging continuously for three days, The sound has increased a lot and there are even small vibration from the ground. I don't know how long I will have to dig. I have found many small tunnel around while digging but I don't dare to enter them."
....
"Day 29: Today I have decided to not return here to avoid wasting time, I am leaving this dairy and my identity token here as a proof of this place belonging to me."
----------------------------------------------
Reading this James was surprised, this book shown that there has been other batches of players who came here before them. What confused James is that whenever the novice period ends the planet is destructed then how can this planet be still intact?
Or there are some other rules and secrets about which humans don't know about yet?
After day 29 there was nothing. It seems that guy didn't come back to get his things back. Reading this there was not much clues, the only way to know more is to find the tunnel dug out by that person. And also find about the drumming sound. That can be the only breakthrough out of this cave.
