After leaving the Chamber of Light, MC and the egglings continued down the dungeon corridor, which grew wider—and strangely, livelier. But this time, the sounds weren't whispers from the dark… they were the bustle of life.
From behind a narrow crack between massive stones, they peeked through—and what they saw was beyond anything they'd imagined: a hidden monster city deep within the dungeon.
Thousands of creatures of all kinds moved about—trading goods, sparring in duels, or chatting in lively groups. The place was alive, organized, and… terrifying.
"So this is the hidden monster city," whispered MC, sniffing the air cautiously. The familiar stench of his own rotten egg body made him uneasy. "If we go in like this… they'll spot us instantly. Worse, they might think we're… food."
The egglings looked at one another with shared worry.
Oyen lit a small spark on the tip of his spike, just to test the lighting—but quickly snuffed it out as a few monsters glanced in their direction.
"We need a way to enter without drawing attention," said Hitam, sniffing the air as well. "We're not just ordinary eggs… we come with a stench that could either drive monsters away or make them curious enough to take a bite."
Putih covered the spy-hole with a chilling mist. "We need a strategy. We can't just rush in. We need to learn the rules of this place first."
MC gave a firm nod. "Right. This isn't just a survival zone. It could be the key to our next leap in strength. We have to find a way to blend in—without causing a scene."
Belang, the camouflage expert, slinked into the shadows. "I'll look for a secret way in. Maybe a drainage tunnel or an old crevice."
"I can help with shadow illusions," added Lurik. "We'll stay hidden while moving."
They shared ideas and mapped out their thoughts, planning every move carefully. This city wasn't just a new challenge—it was a massive opportunity.
MC took a deep breath. "This is where it begins. We wait for the right moment, observe everything—and make our move."
A serious yet eager mood filled the little group of eggs as they prepared for a new chapter in their dungeon adventure.
