With a mighty kick, the door exploded into dust and blue sparks, revealing it had been sealed with some kind of spell. What truly surprised me was that it shattered with just one kick.
The shattered door fell, revealing a staircase leading down into a deep pit, nothing but darkness ahead. The house was just a facade; it was an empty building, and the only entrance led to this kind of basement.
I glanced down and hesitated for a moment, feeling a strange energy, but continued to descend the stairs calmly and silently. Even breathing was difficult; it seemed to be an underground dungeon, built long ago, with chains of narrow galleries stretching out before me.
But this wasn't really what I was seeking. I could explore it another time. Initially, my goal was to find the entity behind the dreams.
