After enduring a series of trials and overcoming various perilous obstacles, Hitomi
Tachibana successfully reaches the summit chamber of the cave known as the "Coral
Heart." The room is filled with awe-inspiring natural wonders, but it is not the only thing
that captures her attention.
In the center of the chamber, Hitomi sees a mysterious altar made of rare crystal stone.
The altar emits a captivating oceanic blue light, indicating unimaginable power. Could this
be the treasure she has been seeking all along?
However, before Hitomi can approach the altar, she senses a magical force enveloping
her. The air vibrates with unusual energy, leaving her tense and alert. She turns around,
startled to find a man dressed in black standing before her.
The man smiles with a surprising grin that appears on his face. "Welcome, Hitomi
Tachibana," the man says with a soft yet powerful voice. "I have been anticipating your
arrival here for a long time."
Hitomi is taken aback. How does this person know her name? And what is his connection
to this mysterious altar? "Who are you?" Hitomi asks cautiously.
The man wears black gloves and holds a peculiar medallion in his hand. "My name is
Kazuki, the guardian of the secrets hidden within this cave," he calmly replies. "I possess
knowledge about the treasure you seek, but I also have my own interests."
Hitomi feels the need to remain vigilant, but she also wants to understand further what is
unfolding before her. "Kazuki, explain to me what is happening here. Is this altar the
sought-after treasure?"
Kazuki smiles mysteriously. "Yes, this altar is the treasure you seek, but its power
surpasses what you can imagine. It is the Gateway of Power, capable of opening access
to an untouched world and influencing the fate of many. This treasure must be guarded
carefully to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands."
Hitomi processes the information she hears. She realizes that her simple mission to find
the treasure has evolved into something much bigger and dangerous. Is she willing to
take the risk and continue her quest, or should she leave the cave now?
However, before she can provide an answer, the entrance of the cave bursts open,
introducing another group of adventurers also in search of the treasure. The sudden
intrusion sends Hitomi, Kazuki, and the altar crashing onto the rocky cave floor.
As Hitomi rises from the ground, she realizes that the battle to control the treasure has
just begun. She must make difficult decisions, face even greater obstacles, and uncover
the mysteries behind the altar. Her perilous and wondrous adventure journey is far from
over.
