Stone walls glistened with creeping vines as Ethan ventured deeper into the Hollow Sanctum. The glow from arcane veins etched into the floor cast dancing shadows across the corridor, creating shifting patterns that seemed to slither like living creatures. A faint metallic hum pulsed through the air, as though the dungeon itself were breathing.
Ethan lifted his arm, summoning the system interface. Pale blue data frames shimmered into existence, suspended in the darkness like hovering glass.
"System," he muttered, eyes flicking left and right, "you got any tips for me in here? Or am I just running in blind?"
Digital static rolled across his vision. The mechanical voice responded with brisk precision:
[System Response:]
[The Hollow Sanctum is a high-experience zone suitable for rapid level advancement.]
[Enemy types: Forest Beasts, Orc Variants, Ogres, Dire Wolves, Sylvan Golems, Thorned Dryads.]
[Mini-bosses and a primary dungeon boss exist.]
