Sasuke in Another Dimension

Move on

Armed with the obtained coordinates, Sasuke employed his Rinnegan to create a portal to the dimension he intended to traverse. With his enhanced strength, he no longer worried about depleting his chakra as he did in the past.

Before stepping into the portal, he turned to his three-month acquaintance. "Sung-ssi, I'm heading out," he announced.

"Alright," Sung Il-Hwan nodded, his expression stoic, devoid of any emotion.

Though relieved at the prospect of returning home upon encountering Sasuke, his thoughts gradually shifted as he discovered the true enemy behind it all.

Hence, he resolved to become a vessel for the Rulers, empowering himself to protect his family.

Sasuke offered a slight nod before disappearing through the portal.

How long had she been trapped in the labyrinth? Hunger gnawed at her, fear plagued her, and only her dwindling enthusiasm kept her going. She had reached her limit.

Every small sound jolted her awake, her senses on high alert.

She had dozed off at the end of the labyrinth, in a cramped position that felt like a coffin.

Surviving the constant attacks from monsters in the narrow, dark, and damp caves had become her daily struggle. To sustain herself, she resorted to eating meager rations of tasteless demon meat and relied on her water magic for hydration.

With tired eyes, she woke up and let out a soft sigh. Leaning against the cold stone wall, her gaze fixed on the faint glow emanating from a magic formation.

Stepping on that formation would teleport her to a random place, most likely right into the lair of a fearsome monster.

"Sigh... It's been a month," she muttered to herself.

It had all started when she carelessly triggered a teleportation trap during her search mission, ending up in the lair of a powerful demon beast.

No rhyme or reason.

There was no use lamenting her carelessness, for the moment she had blinked, a horde of bloodthirsty demons charged at her.

As both a magician and an adventurer, she managed to hold her ground. She took pride in her abilities as a magician, even though she couldn't perform magic without incantations like her prodigious student who had been casting spells effortlessly since the age of three. She was a Magician of the Water-King class, after all.

She faced the demons without succumbing to panic, fighting them off as best she could. But they kept coming, wave after wave, seemingly endless.

She knew she was trapped in a trap set for the demon beast, and she had come to terms with her impending demise.

Yet, she continued to struggle, even as her magic reserves dwindled. Sooner or later, her magic would run dry.

Did her comrades forget about her? How much longer could she hold on, her limited magic depleting with every battle?

No, she couldn't believe that her comrades had abandoned her. They must have temporarily retreated, devising a plan to rescue her.

However, fear and anxiety overwhelmed her, threatening to drown her. Tears welled up, uncontrollably, in her eyes.

The following day, she made a decision. She would step onto the Metastasis Magic Formation before her, a formation known for transporting individuals to random destinations.

With a dim glow, she vanished in an instant.

There was no one around.

Taking a leap of faith, she set out to map this vast, uncharted labyrinth.
