Chapter 4 - Chapter 04:The Shadows of the cave :

As soon as Ethan's team entered the cave, bats suddenly flew out towards the entrance. Seeing this, Ethan's team was startled and frightened.Once all the bats had flown out, Ethan and his friends continued to move forward. As they touched the cave walls, they felt a faint dampness. Inside, they spotted skeletons scattered around and strange heads hanging upside down from above, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Inside the cave, strange, unsettling sounds echoed, and a foul smell filled the air, making the atmosphere even more terrifying for Ethan and his friends.

As they kept following the sound deeper into the cave, the noises grew louder, and the foul smell became even stronger. At this point, Victor spoke up, "There's great danger ahead. Everyone, be prepared and pick up something sharp to defend yourselves."

As they moved further, they noticed something that looked like fire ahead. Excited, they started rushing toward it, but Victor quickly stopped them, saying, "Wait! We need to proceed cautiously." Everyone agreed with Victor and advanced carefully.

When they finally reached the source of the fire, they found only flickering flames and nothing else. However, Ethan suddenly heard a faint voice calling, "Help me." Startled, Ethan turned around and saw a severed head, freshly detached from its body, pleading, "Help me!"

Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Victor asked, "Who did this to you?" , spoke in a trembling voice, saying, "It was a dark shadow..." Then, the head fell silent, and with that, it breathed its last and died.

Ethan couldn't do anything to stop it. From where Mike's eyes had been, black smoke started pouring out. Mike's mouth twisted and sealed shut, and then, in an instant, Mike's body turned into dust, scattering into the air like ashes.

Seeing this, Ethan was deeply shaken. His friends and Victor realized that if they didn't act quickly, the same fate could befall all of them. Ethan, overwhelmed by the sight, lost himself in his memories. He thought back to a time when he was walking through a beautiful garden with his family, laughing and talking with his mother. Those moments of peace and happiness seemed so distant now.Ethan remembered his mother's promise to him, "You will spend your whole life helping others." Suddenly, he snapped out of his memories and turned to his friends, saying, "We need to do something fast. We can't waste any more time."

As they moved forward, they saw a faint light ahead. They approached the light, and suddenly, the cave seemed to end completely. In front of them, they saw a city that had never appeared before, a place they had never seen in all their lives. There, in the midst of the eerie silence, something unusual was waiting for them.
