Vivian nodded. "Yeah, I'm afraid of falling."
The rain had just stopped, and the grass underfoot was slick. One careless step could send someone tumbling over the edge.
Manfred chuckled. "We passed by here earlier. There was no fog then, and you could see down. It's a massive abyss.
"This area is shaped like an oblong crater, and legend has it that it appeared out of nowhere about a hundred years ago. No one knows how deep it really is because no one's ever dared to find out."
"A crater?" Vivian's curiosity was piqued.
She wanted to hear more about it. They found a nearby spot to sit, and Manfred began telling her the story behind it.
It sounded almost like a myth.
Over a century ago, a monster was said to lurk in the nearby mountains. It frequently descended upon villages, preying on people and leaving destruction in its wake. The local authorities were powerless to stop it, so they had no choice but to evacuate the nearby settlements.
However, many people passed through this area, and without exception, they all became the monster's prey.
One day, a priest heard about the havoc and came to confront the monster.
During the battle to subdue the monster, the ground split open, creating this very crater. It was said that the monster was sealed beneath it, trapped by its immense depth, unable to escape and wreak havoc again.
Locals rarely dared to come near, fearing the monster might one day resurface.
"Do you believe in that story?" Vivian asked.
Manfred replied without hesitation, "Not at all."
Vivian laughed. "Same, it's just a story. There are many natural reasons why a crater like this could form. Of course, maybe monsters do exist, but if they do, I wouldn't find them scary.

Can more chapters be uploaded please . I have been anxiously waiting to read more. Thank you...
More chapters please...
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
