Chapter 84: Ring of Space

Alex was somewhat surprised at first, immediately thinking of undead. 

But then she thought, if it's undead, what's there to fear? 

Soon, Alex realized something was off—it was just a long-dead person, decayed down to a skeleton.

Realizing this, Alex, holding a fireball for light, walked in. Her shoes left thick footprints on the floor, indicating that no living creature had entered this place for many years. 

Still feeling a bit uneasy, Alex first approached the skeleton to check it thoroughly, making sure there was nothing wrong with it.

"Anything interesting?" Alex found a letter in the skeleton's embrace, tucked inside the armor. She felt no fear, reaching directly to retrieve the letter. 

She opened it, and the paper was very yellowed, showing its age, with some of the writing faded due to the passage of time.

Holding the fireball in one hand for light and the letter in the other, Alex began to read.
