Flashback
It was midnight, the chill of the night biting into my skin as I stood in the dense forest near the cavern. The hardened ground surrounding the area reflected the pale moonlight, casting eerie shadows across the rocky terrain. With only a faint glow to guide me, I needed to devise a plan—a trap strong enough to incapacitate the colossal centipede.
I strained my memory, recalling the details from the novel.
In the original story, Rainer faced off against the centipede and lost due to his lack of motivation and focus. The creature used the opportunity to land a devastating strike, leaving Rainer unconscious. At that moment, the cave ceiling collapsed, allowing the centipede to escape to the surface and wreak havoc on the nearby village.
This time, I had to ensure that everything played out differently.
Crouching down, I ran my hands over the terrain.
