Radd let out a groan as he peeked into the next room. There was another coffin in it, and the room’s layout was identical to the one he’d been ambushed by the bats in.

“Nah, this one’s probably fine...” I said, stepping forward as I noticed what was inside the coffin.

“Wait, old ma—?!”

Before Radd could stop me, I walked over to the coffin and looked inside. “I knew it.”

Unlike the coffin which had held the bats, this one was already open. Lying inside was someone’s clothes. They were laid out to make it seem like the person wearing them had simply vanished, leaving just their clothes behind. There was one other thing in the coffin.

“What’s that?” Radd asked, walking up and peering inside.

There was something stabbed into the left side of the shirt. I silently reached down and pulled it out.

“That’s...a weapon, right, Rex?” Nyuuk asked.

I nodded. “Yep. The Dagger of Regrets. It’s a thrusting weapon that’s especially effective against certain types of undead.”

As I looked down at the dagger, I heard a low rumbling sound from outside the room. It sounded like something heavy was being dragged across the floor. Walking back outside, I found part of the floor in the corridor had slid away to reveal a staircase leading downwards.

“So that dagger was the hidden switch that revealed the next floor?” Mana asked as she peered down the staircase.

“Hell yeah, let’s go!” Radd shouted, excited.

I held out a hand to stop both of them. “Not so fast. It’s getting late, let’s call it here for today. We can come back later.”

We’d accomplished the primary goal we’d come here for, and considering our current level of strength, going in too deep didn’t seem wise.

“Come on, old man! I’ve got plenty of energy left!”

I shook my head firmly. “The further down you go, the stronger the enemies get. I wouldn’t say the enemies down there are so strong you can’t beat them, but fighting them will be a lot more risky. Remember how we got ambushed in the last room?”

Radd choked, then stammered, “B-But, if we find ourselves in a pinch you can always just fight us out of it, right?”

“I don’t want to waste any more of my stock of rare weapons, and more importantly if I fight with you guys you won’t get any experience. It’ll defeat the purpose of coming here.”

Though the monsters here were stronger than me, they were still technically around level 40. Since I was level 52, me fighting would cut down the experience Radd and the others got to almost nil.

“Well... Yeah, I guess that makes sense.”

“For now, just do some basic Guild quests and grind out some class experience. We can come back here once you guys have gotten a bit stronger.”

Though unhappy, Radd looked convinced. I thought that was the end of that, but to my surprise it was Nyuuk—who was always so cautious—who protested next.

“I’m curious as well. Why are the monsters living down here? Is it possible that at the bottom of this dungeon is some terrifyin—”

“Nyuuk!” I interrupted him in a loud voice.
