Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 24
The violent tremor of the earth sent me crashing to the ground.
At first, it felt like the soil beneath my feet was simply sliding away on its own. But then—
Crack-boom—
The air compressed violently, as though the entire mountain had drawn in a massive breath and exhaled it all at once.
Dust erupted from beneath my feet simultaneously, and even the tree leaves began to shudder violently.
Rumble—
The cabin collapsed from its very foundation, crumbling from the ground up.
I should have been buried beneath the debris, having been right in front of it.
When I came to my senses, I found myself cradled in Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s arms, being carried into the bushes.
The Prince of Asdal had been kicked to the opposite side beyond the bushes by Enoch’s feet.
One tree tilted.
Then two, three more—as if pushed over by a giant’s single gesture, they began to topple in succession.
The soil on the ridge suddenly heaved, and massive chunks of earth began to slide and cascade downward.
The speed was as swift as a river’s current.
Dust exploded skyward, consuming my entire field of vision.
“Let’s meet again alive!”
The Prince of Asdal’s cry reached me from a distant, fading distance. He seemed to have vanished to the opposite side.
[⚠ System Warning]
[Additional Seismic Vibration Detected]
[Disaster Classification: Secondary Ground Collapse]
[Cause Analysis in Progress…]
[Analysis Complete]
[Residual Mana Influence from Zenas Igran Rohade]
So this disaster was indeed Zenas Igran Rohade’s doing. It seemed that because the characters were acting differently than in the world I came from, Zenas had also altered the direction of his experiments.
Damn it. He’s triggering disasters!
And the system’s warnings continued.
[⚠ System Warning]
[Ground Collapse Predicted. Fissure Expansion Expected in 5 Seconds]
I cried out to the system, regardless of whether Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid was watching.
“System! Find me a safe zone!”
[Request Approved.]
[Safe Zone Analysis in Progress…]
[Stable Ground Search Complete]
[Stable Ground Located]
[Location: Below the North Island Western Ridge]
[Straight-line distance from current position: 4.2km. Ground density within stable parameters. Survival probability upon reaching the area: 68%]
[※ After crossing the northern bank of the River, proceed toward the North Island Western Ridge.]
Isn’t the area below the North Island Western Ridge near Jenas’s Cabin?
There’s nothing there but Jenas’s Cabin. And it’s both the most dangerous zone on this Island and simultaneously the safest zone.
There was no time to hesitate. Five seconds had already passed, and the ground was beginning to collapse.
As I was rapidly scanning my surroundings, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid seized my hand and pulled me forward.
“My lady, this way, if you please.”
“What about the Prince of Asdal….”
By then, the Prince of Asdal had vanished without a trace. I couldn’t tell where he was at all.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
The ground continued to shake violently, and mounds of earth were collapsing.
Even as I tried to move forward, I kept stumbling headlong, and after staggering about, I ended up crawling forward on the ground.
That’s when my body suddenly lifted into the air. Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid had hoisted me onto his shoulder.
He carefully selected only the spots where the ground remained stable despite the collapse, bounding forward with tremendous speed.
We descended the slope in an instant. Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid came to a halt before a massive Rock.
He wedged me into the crevice between two Rocks.
The moment Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid squeezed into the Rock Crevice after me, a cascade of earth came crashing down.
We were pressed against each other with not a sliver of space between us. And I noticed a cool breeze flowing up from beneath our feet.
We weren’t simply trapped in a Rock Crevice—we were in a sloped passage that descended deeper below.
Wherever my palms and knees made contact, I felt the damp stone of the cavern walls.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid spoke.
“This slope appears to extend quite deep below. It would be wise to descend further.”
“Will we be able to get back out? What if the Rocks collapse and seal the Entrance?”
“Collapsed Rocks can simply be pushed aside and cleared away.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid answered as though such a concern were trivial.
Ah. Had I asked a foolish question? I examined the Rock we were wedged in again, but its size was absolutely immense.
Yet I soon found myself convinced, recalling his physical form—how he had remained unscathed even after being struck by that Jenas’s Mana attack.
‘He said he was modified. Into a post-human body.’
In any case, we descended quite deeply along the slope. By my estimation, we must have descended at least several dozen meters.
Then a tremendous roar echoed from above.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
The sound of the ground fracturing and collapsing.
Light had certainly been pouring in from above the slope. But with that deafening noise and the violent trembling of the ground, the light was cut off in an instant.
“Do not be disturbed, my lady. We must continue descending.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid spoke to me.
Feeling anxious for some reason, I reached out to the System regardless of whether Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid was listening.
“System, will we be alright?”
[Analyzing request…]
[Evacuation route recalibrated]
[Upper region : Additional rockfall risk ‘EXTREMELY HIGH’]
[Lower Cave passage : Ground stability relatively favorable]
[※※※RECOMMENDATION※※※]
[Moving toward the lower cave from your current location will increase survival probability by +52%]
[※ Descend immediately.]
The moment I confirmed the system message, I exhaled in relief and immediately crawled down the slope after Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
There was no point staying outside anyway. The safe zone the system indicated—Jenas’s Cabin—was quite a distance from here.
After descending for a considerable time, I finally reached the point where the slope ended.
We set our feet on level ground.
Only after reaching deep within the cave did the tremors of the earth finally subside. We had descended beyond the depth where surface waves could reach.
However, small gravel occasionally tumbled down from the ceiling.
Feeling both ominous and anxious, I kept the Transmigrator Survival Support System constantly activated.
The entrance above was sealed, so it was dark and visibility was poor.
[※Warning※]
[Communication with the outside has been severed.]
[User Location: Isolated Area. Position cannot be confirmed]
[Activating Transmigrator Survival Mode.]
As the Transmigrator Survival Mode activated, dust scattered from the floor and residual heat rose into the air.
The cave interior was cool, but the air was gradually circulating and oxygen levels were being adjusted.
[Environmental Recovery Rate: 42% → 67% Complete]
[Body Heat Maintenance Device Activated]
The air felt noticeably fresher.
“Breathing has become much easier. How strange this is.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid spoke while surveying the surroundings. He must have sensed beforehand that oxygen would become scarce once the cave entrance sealed.
“Did you do something?”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s gaze fixed on me.
Uncanny intuition. Well, he’d seen the keyring too, so it was reasonable deduction on his part.
“Yes. The keyring possesses rather extraordinary abilities.”
“I hear even the mad Rogue Mage couldn’t lay a hand on that keyring.”
“I told you. It’s not from this world.”
I pulled out the keyring and shook it.
The keyring scattered like puzzle pieces, then immediately emitted brilliant light.
When the light faded, a Camping Trailer appeared in its place.
“Let me take out the equipment we’ll need to explore this cave. We should also search for another exit.”
I gestured to Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and opened the door to the Camping Trailer when—
Boom—
The ground vibrated and shook.
My stumbling body was caught by Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
In that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind.
The law of romance.
The Male Lead catches the stumbling Female Lead as she falls, but they both tumble down together, accidentally bumping lips.
Having barely escaped danger, I wondered if attempting this now was appropriate. But the situation had unfolded, and I couldn’t miss the opportunity.
“Oh my. My legs have gone weak and I can’t steady myself….”
I immediately went limp and collapsed onto the floor, leaning against Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
Now, if I just tilted my body and head at an angle and attempted a headbutt with my lips…!
