World Online-Chapter 175 Beyond The Wall

It was just a feeling that Jake had. But he knew his intuition to be accurate. And he knew that he had to start looking for that devilish rock as quickly as he could.

He walked toward the black wall, black and brown leaves rustling in the wind. The sound of the rustling leaves creeped out Jake. It was the only voice that he could hear.

There was no other sound around him, and that meant that he was alone. It didn't make any sense to him that there was no one waiting for him.

Maybe they were inside whatever laid beyond the wall though. Jake still didn't know what laid there, so maybe they were in there. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

In fact, maybe they were caught up there, and were waiting for reinforcements.

All of this was in his head, and he resolved his will and started hasting his pace toward the small opening in this walled garden.

It was a simple opening that allowed two people to pass at the same time, and if they were close together, maybe even three.

Jake walked through this opening, and he took a look at the surprisingly thick walls before cursing.

What lay beyond the wall was another wall. It was another wall made out of leaves and plants. There was a three foot wide corridor in front of him that stretched both ends before curving into what felt like a circle.

Jake didn't need to look around any further to know where he had just landed. It was a labyrinth. He had to come to a labyrinth of all places.

"Why is the difficulty of this place so hard? I am sure that the ninth follower won't have a problem. No. Only I have to have the problem of navigating through this place." Jake cursed.

He looked left and right. He had absolutely no idea which direction he had to go.

"Alright. Heads and I go right." Jake told himself as a silver coin appeared in his hands. It had the head of a gladiator on one side, while a picture of a large empire stood on another.

This was the commonly issued currency, issued by the final empire. The biggest empire. The empire, Britannia.

He flipped the coin, and the silver glinted a little as it started turning multiple times in the air before finally landing back on Jake's hand.

"Tails. Guess I am going left." Jake said.

He didn't even hesitate before turning left. After all, this was a better tactic than actually thinking about where he had to be heading.

If he tried thinking about possibilities, then it would take him forever to get to the center of this labyrinth where the devilish rock that he needed to get was probably located.

This was the much better option.

He turned left and started walking in the slightly curved path.

Looking at the curvature, Jake estimated the size of the circle that he was in to be around a few hundred meters in diameter. It wasn't too preposterous, but it was still nothing to scoff at.

Seeing the size of the corridor that he was looking at, and the thickness of the walls that were around him, it would take him a while even if he got every single turn right.

And Jake knew better than to think that. Jake knew that there was absolutely no way that he was going to get a few hundred turns right.

As he walked forward, Jake was hit by another decision. He either had to take a right turn, or keep going straight.

Common sense would dictate that he would have to turn left, and go into the circle. But even more thinking would tell him that this was an obvious trap that was laid out for him.

It was this exact thinking that Jake wanted to avoid.

"Alright. Heads to go straight this time."

Jake flipped the same time, and it landed on his palm.

"Hmm… tails again." Jake mused as he took a right turn without hesitation.

As he did, the path that went right immediately turned right once more, going there opposite direction that he had just come from.

Still, he didn't turn back. He kept going, not even thinking about where he was going, and where he was ending up relative to where he started.

But the next turn was when he stopped to think for the first time. The coin went up, and when it came down this time, it came back as tails once again.

This was the third time in a row that the flip was tails, and Jake wasn't sure if the coin wasn't rigged.

"Calm down, Jake. Now, you are acting way too paranoid. You need to stop thinking about how the coin acts. Completely random means that the same side might fall maybe even a million times." Jake told himself.

He went the direction that he had to.

Once more, he hit a junction. Soon, he had gone through so many turns that he had absolutely no idea where he was, and he didn't even know if he ended up closer to the center than where he was before.

But Jake didn't give up hope.

That was when he took the one turn and hit a dead end.

The first dead end that he had hit in ten minutes of walking around with no ambition. In Jake's eyes, that was a win. Not hitting a dead end for so long was a little unbelievable, and now, he had a feeling that the direction that he was going in was the right one.

He turned back and took a few steps forward to go to the other direction. The direction that his coin told him not to go.

But that was when he froze.

"Hold up. I didn't come through this route. The paths, they changed. Is this labyrinth moving?"
