"Splash, splash, splash!"
The players, each secured by a vine, jumped eagerly into the swamp pool like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, one by one submerging into the mire.
The novice players surrounding them watched in disbelief. It was common knowledge that the further you went into the swamp, the stronger the pulling force. Could a mere vine really ensure their safety?
With no spectacle to behold, the players dispersed, each heading towards their own leveling grounds.
However, not long after the beginner players left, a faint figure appeared. He glanced left and right and upon noting no one was paying attention, he stepped briskly onto the swamp pool. Just like walking on a flat terrain, he easily reached the landing site of the players. He smirked, pulling out a sharp blade and swiftly severed all the hanging vines. Finishing his task, he abruptly dove into the swamp without hesitation.
