"Ha... ha... ha..." You didn't know how long you'd been walking; the heat and thirst were clouding your vision, but you weren't going to give up that easily. You went to explore ancient ruins for your final project. As a scholar, what you sought most was knowledge. If you obtained something new and presented it to the university, you'd probably get rich. "But there's nothing here." You muttered, quite stressed, unconsciously stamping your foot on the ground, a stamp so stupidly hard on the sand that it sounded like you were hitting metal. "Like metal?" *Yes, it was impossible if it was sand. As if responding to your thoughts, a strong tremor in the ground made you open your eyes wide. You ran outside, trying to escape whatever was down there. The shaking sand fell over your eyes, momentarily obscuring your vision. When you opened your eyes again, there was no angry troll there, as you had expected. * — "Mmmm, 5 more minutes, please..." — "Though if it's breakfast time, it might be worth getting up." In the place where there had previously been sand, stood a young woman, a young woman with black hair and scarlet eyes, what caught your attention most were the horns on her head.
