The wind whistled as it swayed the grass and leaves around, causing the surroundings to become much more colder.
However, even if the temperature of the place entered a freezing point, the back of the man still produced sweats as he stared above the pit with constricted fearful eyes.
A fog of silhouette stared at him silently with those gray lifeless eyes, as if those eyes could directly pry toward his/their soul.
Even with the breeze of the wind, the fog around the figure never dissipates...
Clank... Clank.
As the man's eyes remained blank, staring above while feeling horrified within, a sound of clanking sound broke the silence. Quickly traveling in the silent cemetery before drilling to the man's horrified consciousness.
Above the pit, the pure darkness, full of corruption and horror, stared at the man playfully...
Clanking their lower jaw akin to a playful laugh as the darkness within their sockets dances through the night.
N~no...
Staring at it, he could feel the unprecedented horror bloom within him... As if he could feel the death waving toward him.
"G~Ghost!"
With a last stroke of sanity, the man shouted fearfully as his eyes finally rolled on the back of his head, falling toward the broken coffin unconsciously.
Thud!
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon scaring successfully!

This...
"What did you two do!?" Leo, upon hearing the horrified shout of the man after seeing the two silver skeletons beside him, immediately stared at them as he scolded them angrily.
"Good! We just arrived in this place yet we almost scared humans to death!"
Leo angrily laughed as he flicked his finger toward the skull of the two skeletons, causing them to hold their skull in pain, feeling wronged since they didn't do anything.
"Go! Get the two out of the pit carefully, then try to fill the pit with soil!
"Sigh, what a headache..."
Leo massages his brows before deactivating his "Mist of Illusion" skill upon realizing that it is still activated.
Soon, after carefully laying the two men beside the pit, Leo immediately summoned his Divine fire of life, quickly dispelling the humid and cold atmosphere before healing the injured bodies of the two.
As he was healing them, Leo didn't forget to scan them with his "Soul Scan."

Where did these two come from?
Leo thought as he stared at their closing injuries, pondering whether to drag their bodies toward the town or not.
However, remembering that it took him 3 hours to travel from the town to the cemetery in addition that it was already nighttime, Leo could only give up...
"Sigh, this is quite troublesome."
...
"Alright! Help me to carry their bodies toward the house."
After 10 minutes of healing, Leo ordered the skeletons to carry one of the unconscious men, while he carried the other one on him as he moved toward the house.
In the middle of the night, the figures of the group carrying humans that appeared lifeless toward the center of the cemetery were seen by the white rabbit...
Nibbling the dark fruit on its paws, watching everything unfold in the distance with interest.
Nibble, nibble...
...
"Huff~"
Leo heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he laid the bodies toward the room on the 2nd floor of the wooden house, causing the old bed to creak intensely due to their weight and the oldness of the wooden bed.
Cre-ccreakk...
Closing the door behind him, Leo carefully moved toward the first floor, where the uncomfortable sofa was as he slumped toward it tiredly.
Closing his eyes, Leo began to rest his exhausted mind, planning to rest normally tonight (not cultivating) since he still had a lot of jobs to do tomorrow.
"I remembered that I still needed to find a place where I could concoct potions, this house wouldn't do since it lack space..."
He thought before finally falling asleep without him noticing...
***
Creakkk...
The wooden floor created an annoying creaking sound as the white rabbit carefully and warily stepped inside the house through the window.
Sniffing its pink nose, it began to move within the shadow as it transverse within the house... Before finally arriving at a seemingly ordinary door hidden within one's normal sight.
Squeak!
It squeaked excitedly before entering with fast and careful strides... Attracted toward the things hidden within.
***
Soon, in an instant, the night silently passed by... As the sun on the horizon began to illuminate the humid cemetery...
"This... Where am I?"
Upon waking up from the unfamiliar environment, the man (who lost consciousness first) stared at the unfamiliar ceiling in lost, remembering all the things that transpired yesterday.
Everything seems surreal and unimaginable in his mind...
"I probably fell asleep yesterday without me noticing... And everything that happened is all just a dream/nightmare."
Right, that should be the case!
He firmly believed as he tilted his head to the side...
Seeing that his friend seems fine without a hint of injuries on his body, the man releases a sigh of relief before carefully standing up.
Creakk...
This!
Frightened by the sudden sound, the man quickly sprung to his feet as he scanned the surroundings in panic...
Only to see nothing... Only to see the old pieces of furniture neatly placed in the corner table of the room.
Other than the table full of furniture and the wooden bed in the other corner, the man couldn't see anything inside the room.
"Huff~ did I just scare myself?" He thought as he stared at the old wooden floor beneath his feet, slightly feeling afraid as the image and scene within his nightmare appeared inside his mind.
Creakk...
"Ohh, you're finally awake?"
AHHH!
