The room of 10 meters each side, having the same height, resembled the cube described in the documents, until then, I couldn't notice the carrion aroma that that place emanated, or I could see all those animals, no, that was too big to to be considered an animal, but his body was too torn to recognize.
Looking away from that horrendous scene, I could better notice the details present on each wall, which were carved into the wall itself, flowers and leaves carved with such perfection, extremely detailed and beautiful, making it hard to believe that it was the work of human hands. The room had 3 pillars per wall, completely symmetrical to the wall, each containing a torch with a red and slightly golden tone, the glow that emanated was not so strong, but it was enough to see.
Looking at one of the walls, I could notice a door, which contained a star carving, containing 6 points in total, its height was around 5 meters high, and its handle followed the same proportion, containing approximately 20 centimeters of length, appearing to be made for someone huge - "Or something..."
Due to my skill, the blood had stopped flowing from the wounds, making it possible for me to move in a limited way, standing had never been such a difficult task, my legs were shaking and my blood pressure was extremely low, but it didn't matter at all. , just to go through that door, the place where maybe it was the way out of that hell.
Leaning on the walls, I left a trail of blood where I passed, the beautiful walls filled with adornments were turning red, along with the floor being stained by the footprints of my bare feet, during extreme effort, my mind could not process any information beyond that door, so I couldn't notice one of the animals moving on the ground, even torn apart and with its viscera exposed, it moved tirelessly towards me, its look showed hatred and vitality, different from its body.
The animal was shooting at my leg, the only exposed part it would reach in that state, however, as it crawled onto a gray and slightly loose floor, the floor dropped and a blade fell from above, piercing its skull. And the sound of the skull being drilled into is mixed with the sound of my falling to the ground, a result of shock and surprise.
Looking at my wound sitting on the floor again, I said - "That explains the hole in my belly" - with a trembling voice and afraid of accidentally stepping on some trap present there. After recovering from the shock, I make my way back through the room more carefully, toward the door.
Miraculously, I make it to the door without any mishap. With my hands that trembled slightly I take them to the huge doorknob, as soon as I touch it, the outside around me starts to change...

"Mephew, I know your skill is good and versatile, but you can't fight it, are you really going to enter the cube?" - Said the woman with the silver hair, the Silver Queen.
"Clara, I'm not a child anymore, you made me go through hell with an excuse for me to strengthen myself and not need you, but you don't stop trying to protect me..." - he said with a melancholy tone but without hesitation - "And even if I don't get in now, at 25 I'll be pulled in, 3 years won't change anything"
"I've taken care of you since you were a kid, can you stop this nagging? You know what? I don't care anymore, like you said, you're not a kid anymore." - Annoyed, she puts her hands in her pockets and from one of them pulls out a white dagger - "Take it, I made it for you, you ungrateful" - throwing it in my direction.
The dagger was light and thin, but its resistance and cutting power seemed to be superior to the traditional ones, making the effort and money invested very clear.
"Thank you... I'll be back, Queen, no... sister"-She said as she took the cube in her hand, the cube was divided into 4 parts each side, all neon light blue color-"Enter... "
Upon saying such a word, the cube begins to emanate a strong glow and the physical body begins to disappear, starting from the area of contact.

[ Welcome User: Mephew Hiareth ]
[ Do you want to see the tutorial? ]
"No," she said in a confident voice, a mistake the younger me had made, a mistake I would regret.
[ Start now? ]
"Yes" - pulling out the dagger given to me, I start to take a deep breath and analyze all sides of the room, it was 10 seconds of absolute silence, until...
"Are you kidding?" - like magic, countless beasts began to appear around the room, with protruding fangs, red skin, humanoid-shaped bipeds, and blue-green pupils, which emanated hostility directly at me.
The animals began to move slowly towards me, one of them stayed behind, the biggest one, containing minimally 3 meters while the others only 2.
In front of the enemy, while my body was reacting with tremors, the panel appeared before me again:
[ Skill: Adaptation activated ]
[Due to the hostile environment, the fear effect will be removed]
[Due to the difference in strength and quantity, your strength and agility will be increased by 3 times]
***
The moment the panel appeared "Ah, that ceiling again..."
