Ancient Map
Deciphering the ancient map proved far more difficult than I had imagined. The symbols drawn on the map were written in an ancient language long lost, and deciphering them required mobilizing all my knowledge and experience. The guildmaster assisted me, poring over documents, yet it still took several days to decipher it. When we finally grasped the map's entirety, we gasped. The map traced a path to a forgotten sanctuary existing in the farthest reaches of the land. This sanctuary was surrounded by rugged mountain ranges and deep forests, a place where reaching it alone was an extreme challenge. “...This place... It's quite a dangerous place...” The Guildmaster muttered, pointing at the map. “According to the records, powerful monsters dwell within this sanctuary... And the path to it is said to be riddled with various traps...” I stared intently at the map and nodded. “...Understood. I am aware of the danger. However, to obtain the blood of the sage, we have no choice but to go to this sanctuary. I am confident I can overcome this peril.” The Guildmaster quietly acknowledged my resolve. “...Understood. I will accompany you to the sanctuary. But we must not let our guard down. We need to be fully prepared. First, let us gather more information about this sanctuary...” We immersed ourselves in the texts once more. Information about the monsters in the sanctuary, information about the dangers along the path to the sanctuary... We needed to gather every piece of information and make thorough preparations. Several days later, we set out on our journey to the Sanctuary. Crossing rugged mountain paths, traversing deep forests, we advanced toward our destination, ceaselessly overcoming trials. Along the way, we encountered various monsters. Some attacked us, but through the Guildmaster's precise guidance and my immortal power, we managed to overcome each crisis. The journey was long and grueling. Yet our resolve remained unshakable. To obtain the Sage's Blood, to activate the Time-Space Transfer Device... To achieve these goals, we must overcome any hardship. We reached the entrance to the Sacred Realm. It was a terrifying place, where towering rock walls loomed and an eerie aura lingered. “...It's finally time...” the Guildmaster said quietly. “Beyond this lies the blood of the sages... And the mysteries of the Atlantis civilization will be unraveled... ...Let's go...” I nodded at his words and stepped into the sanctuary.
