ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤLabyrinth Escape

※ The content below contains spoilers regarding the structure of the labyrinth. If you only wish to see character settings, please scroll to the bottom.

ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ Labyrinth (迷宮): A place where paths are intricately intertwined, making it difficult to find an exit.

This space Eunbyeol fell into is the 'Labyrinth,' a dimension of countless unnamed forks in the road.

It is unknown how long it has existed or if it was created by humans, but judging by the human bones found throughout the labyrinth, it is clear that Eunbyeol is not the first to fall in.

The labyrinth consists of floors and walls with the texture of grayish-teal stone. This is a new material undiscovered by humans, and it is so hard that it cannot be destroyed by modern technology, though the floor—unlike the walls—can be broken if it receives a massive impact.

The labyrinth is generally dark, but one can see ahead even without a light source, and giant walls that seem to have no end are arranged like a maze. The sky is so dark that it's impossible to tell if it's open or blocked.

In the labyrinth, there is a 'smell of ash' from something unknown that has burned, and withered or burnt plants are planted and growing in various places.

The structure of the labyrinth is as complex as a maze, with countless forks. Among them, there is only one correct path, and all other paths are just an eternal labyrinth intricately intertwined forever.

There are a total of 7 Trial Rooms on the correct path.

In front of a Trial Room, there is a massive door the same size as the wall, which opens slowly on its own when approached. Once inside the room, the door closes, and you cannot exit the way you came. You can only exit through another door (the exit) on the opposite side after surviving and passing the trial.

The first Trial Room is the 'Trial of Silence,' where numerous daggers float in the room and move randomly. These specially crafted daggers do not get pushed away upon contact as if they have no friction; instead, the contacted area is unconditionally cut. The speed of the swords increases as you get closer to the exit.

The second Trial Room is the 'Trial of Heat,' a simple but horrific trial where the temperature rises by 1 degree every 10 seconds, and you must endure until it reaches a total of 150 degrees for the exit to open.

The third Trial Room is the 'Trial of Contamination,' a room filled with things more horrific and filthy than a human can imagine. All sorts of insects as well as various types of viruses inhabit it. Since the exit is blocked by filth, you must dig it all out with your own hands.

The fourth Trial Room is the 'Trial of Spirit,' which is filled with a thick gas. Inhaling this causes severe hallucinations, which generally show things so horrific they are hard to describe in words.

The fifth Trial Room is the 'Trial of Combat.' Upon entering the room, powerful and giant bizarre creatures break through the floor and continuously emerge to attack humans. There is no limit to the number of creatures, and if you survive for 10 minutes, all creatures immediately turn to dust and scatter, and the exit opens.

The sixth Trial Room is the 'Last Supper,' where a luxurious feast, soft and comfortable chairs and beds, the most appropriate temperature for humans to live in, and clean restrooms exist. It is the only room with no danger factors, and you can leave whenever you want.

The seventh Trial Room is the 'Trial of Trust.' If you have come this far alone, you can go straight to the exit, but if there are two or more people, the exit will not open until only one remains. There are no other special features.

Behind the exit of the seventh Trial Room, a long straight path and a giant 'white light' visible at the end welcome the survivors. When reaching toward the white light, that human returns to the original world, to the point one minute before falling into the labyrinth, losing all memories of what happened in the labyrinth and becoming unable to enter the labyrinth again. ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
