The darkness at the entrance lasted only a few seconds, until Mark's eyes adjusted and he began to take in what was before him.
But it wasn't the dark, oppressive interior he had imagined.
It was more like an enormous hall.
The ceiling rose to an absurd height, making the interior feel much larger on the inside than it had appeared from outside.
And at the far end of the chamber, a wide dark corridor stretched into the depths of the dungeon.
'Looks like the lobby of a giant mansion…'
Mark moved forward slowly, his footsteps echoing softly on the stone floor.
Yuki followed silently to his right, and Rose to his left.
When they reached the center of the hall, Mark looked toward the corridor ahead.
"I find it pretty curious," he said out loud, not addressing anyone in particular, "that there are no monsters at the entrance."
As he said it, he heard them stop walking beside him.
Mark frowned and glanced sideways.
