Hi guys, thank you for reading my fiction. Enjoy

===============================

He took another step into the hall and then wait. A few seconds after his left leg step onto the hall’s floor, a creaking sounds reverberating inside the hall. However, the sound didn’t come from the statues, but it was the sound of the door behind him closing.

“Crap, I’m trapped”, he thought. However, its already too late for him to escape.

After the door completely closed, Acma was dumbfounded as he wasn’t sure about what to do. Should he break the door and escaped, or should he moved forward? However, his choice actually was pretty clear, its to move forward. As for the door behind him, he was definitely didn’t have enough strength to break it.

“Allocate 100 points to agility, 40 points to strength”, said Acma. When he levelled up, he had 140 unallocated points. He didn’t use them before because he didn’t feel a need to do so, but current situation was something that he need to be extremely careful. He was preparing to sprint across the hall as fast as possible. Currently, he need speed more than strength. He believed that even if he put all the points to strength, he still couldn’t beat the statues in front of him.

It haven’t yet 2 minutes since Acma step into the hall. The statues was still, but Acma knew that he didn’t have much time left before all the statues moved. The countdown started when the door closed. He took a deep breath, put out his sword and,

‘Swooosh’

His body blurred as he propelled himself forward.

10 metres, 25 metres, 50 metres, 100 metres, 200 metres and suddenly,

‘Creaaaakk’ ‘Creaaaakk’ ‘Creaaaakk’ ‘Creaaaakk’

A sound of breaking stone echoing inside the hall followed by a movement from the statues.

When the statues started to moved, Acma has arrived at the area where the mutilated skeletons was located. He increased his vigilance and readied himself to intercept anything that came his way.

‘Swiisssh’ ‘Swiisssh’

A statues on his right and left, both were sword wielder, gave a horizontal slash towards his neck and his waist. If he can’t evade this slash, Acma can gave farewell to this world.

But, with increased agility, his speed and nimbleness was far outclassed the statues. He choose his favourite move when he fought against the stone golems, jumping on top of the head from one statue to another. He choose this move because it was the quickest and safest. He could dive or rolled his body below the slash, but he might got entangled by another attack from other statues. It also time consuming as well as his stamina.

Losing the target in front of them, the statues just walked aimlessly. Whenever Acma step on their head, they tried to react and slash him. But Acma was too fast for them so they only slashed nothing. Acma continued jumping from one statue to another. In less than 5 minutes, he already arrived at the other side of the hall.

“Success”, shouted Acma. He was extremely happy because everything was going right and he could cross the hall safely.

The statues return to their original position when Acma entered the path. He walked leisurely for a while to calm his breathing. Soon after, he reached another door, also with a carving of ‘Heaven’ symbol.

Although the symbol was similar to the previous one, the hidden mechanism didn't necessarily located at the similar location. Acma quickly searched the place where the hidden mechanism should be located but didn't found it. So he spread his search. After some times,

‘Clak’ ‘Rumble’

The stone door slowly opening, revealing a space behind.

When Acma realized what was behind the door, he was speechless.

It was a treasure trove. Heavens. From the screen inside his helmet, he could clearly saw hills of coins, plates, bars, bullions, housewares and many other forms of gold and silver. A ray of light coming from numerous bulb of light on the ceiling, made the treasure hills in front of him more mesmerizing. His jaws already reached the floor and his eyes couldn’t even blink. He never saw something like this in his life before. Not in a reality like this. The closest resemblance could be a Smaug’s treasure hoard. He couldn’t imagine anything else. What kind of person who have a riches like this in the world?

Unconsciously, his pace became faster and faster. His mind wasn’t functioning normally. A normally cautious Acma seem to forgot about his surroundings. Looks like his heart already been captivated by the treasures. He was just a normal person after all.

“Master, there is a trap trigger 5 steps in front of you”, Alice gave a report. Her voice was like a thunder that brought him back to the reality.

“Huh? Is that you Alice?” He questioned.

“Yes Master. It’s me, Alice. Master, the trigger was just one step in front of you. Master should stop now”

“Owh, right”, he halted his advance immediately and carefully looking at his surrounding. He took a deep breath and realized that he just made a grave mistake. He shouldn’t lost himself in a place like this. He quickly calmed himself down. He took another deep breath and started to analyse the situation at his hand.

“Alice, mark the place where the trigger is. The other trigger also if you find it. I need to reach the treasure safely” “Yes Master”.

The mark immediately appeared on his sight. Acma carefully treading his way to the treasure trove. He was determined to take everything. Step by step, Acma finally reached the trove. His heart was palpitating. He was so nervous. He was about to become rich. Extremely rich.

He touched the trove with his left hand and slowly said,

“Absorb”

The trove immediately glowing and turned into a huge ball of golden light before moving towards Acma and disappeared into his body.

“Hah, hah, hah”, Acma was breathing erratically. He didn’t have a courage to open his inventory to check the amount of gold he have. It was freaking scary.

After a while, he managed to forcefully calmed down. He gave an order to Alice to look for the trap inside the treasure hall. Meanwhile, with the treasures gone, Acma realized that the size of this treasure hall was about the same as the previous two hall.

The only different was this hall have more decorations and there were a carvings on the four wall. It was a carving of four guardians, a white tiger, a phoenix, a tortoise and a dragon. The carvings was lifelike and Acma really admiring it. The guardians was holding something in their mouth. It was round and its size was about the size of football.

“A pearl, maybe?” he thought. All the guardians have a pearl made of stone in their mouth, except the dragon. However, there was a socket in its mouth with the same size as the stone pearl inside the mouth of the other guardians. That socket made Acma thinking where should he find something like that to fill the socket.

“Open: Inventory”

After deliberate thinking, he decided to check the content of his inventory, looking for something like pearl, treasure box or container. The dragon pearl must be within the treasure troves earlier. While looking for the pearl, he took a glance at the amount of money he have. Looking at the amount, he couldn’t help but taking a deep breath and smiled. It was a lot of money, enough to buy a nation and sustain it for a hundred years.

Inside his inventory, he found numerous items. Although most of them were luxurious items, some of them contained a magical properties too. He wanted to examined them one by one, but right now he needed to find something much important first.

After searching for a while, his eyes finally stumbled upon a treasure box with a delicate and beautiful carving of a dragon. His instinct told him that the dragon pearl must be inside the box. He took out the box and closed the inventory.

Under the beautiful light inside the hall, Acma took a closer look at the treasure box in his hand. He was nervous. His instinct rarely wrong and he hope this time wasn’t either. Luckily, the box didn’t need a key to open. Acma slowly open the box and revealed a glowing pearl with a beautiful colours. His instinct was right. “Identify”.

Dragon Pearl

Priceless treasure capable of neutralizing any kind of poisons within 500 metres. If soaked inside water, the water will have a diluted properties of the pearl

“I will take this pearl back after I open the door”, thought Acma. He was clearly excited with what this dragon pearl capable of.

He took out the pearl from the box and slowly insert it into the socket inside the mouth of the dragon. Then he waited patiently for the result.

After a while, the wall with the dragon carving started to move backwards. Before he followed the wall, Acma took a glace over the other carving of the guardians. He believe, if he found another tomb like this one in the future, he might need to find a similar pearl like the Dragon Pearl used to open the wall.

Acma followed the wall closely didn’t want to be left behind. Each steps he took, he placed it carefully. He moved forward only after he was sure nothing dangerous or no sign of traps detected on the floor. Although he moved very slowly, he was closed enough behind the moving wall.

The wall stop moving only after 100 metres. After that, the wall started to spin slowly revealing the space behind it. Acma didn’t dally any further. He quickly slipped pass the slow spinning wall.
