Footsteps stretched in every direction.
They shimmered under the blue light of the lamp as I looked around.
The scent of rust grew stronger as the lamp swayed in my hand, casting long, shifting shadows around me.
Swallowing nervously, I looked at all the paths before me. They all led towards different areas of the abandoned factory. The darkness made it hard to see where all the paths led, but I knew that one of the paths probably led to the exit that I needed.
'I just need to find the right path and leave this place.'
In principle, this didn't sound very hard.
But at the same time, staring towards the pitch darkness ahead of me, and looking around, I felt a certain unsettling feeling grow.
Almost as if someone was staring at me from within the darkness.
My skin crawled.
'Okay, relax. The faster I get this done, the better. I don't know why the system gave me this mission, but it should be useful for me.'
