Mysterious Area Discovery

Leo and Ropan travel to the land. While on their way, they are exposed to unexpected problems. Ropan could not punch a hole in the ground in front of him, as if he were trying to punch a hole in something very hard. Ropan immediately pulled out the object that was in his mouth, and he immediately told and apologized to Leo about the problem they were facing.

“Leo, it looks like we can't continue the journey through the direction we previously traveled, we have to turn the road quite far. I'm sorry, Leo. I do not take into account if there will be a problem” said Ropan.

“What problem do you mean? You can't punch a hole in the road in front of you? Will the same events as before be repeated?” said Leo.

“Yes, I can't break it. I don't even know what's in front of me. But it doesn't seem like Tama. If it was Tama, he would immediately lift his leg like the previous incident. And at this time, you do not have to worry that the incident will repeat itself again” said Ropan.

“Hopefully it is like that” Leo said.

“Then, what will we do for now? Are we just gonna turn around? What about the time you have? Is there a lot? Or is it better if I keep trying to break it?” ask Ropan.

“I don't know how much time I have. I can't be sure.. If we turn it around, how long will we need? And if you hole it, how long will it take?” said Leo.

“According to my estimation, if we rotate it will take about four hours more when compared to the length of time when we go to this place. However, I can't estimate exactly if I were to hole it. In my opinion, it will take about two hours and can even be less or more if you hole it. Which option would you choose, Leo?” Ropan.

“It seems, it is better that you try to hole it. The time difference between the two options was quite large, I had to make the choice with the fastest time. Wait... Why did you leave that choice to me?” said Leo.

“I don't want to make the wrong choice, you better choose. Anyway, I don't mind the choices. Turning around or punching it is not a big deal to me, the only problem we have right now is that you have not much time. That's why I give up the options that are available to you” said Ropan.

“Alright, just hole up something that is in front of you. Show me how strong you are in dealing with this matter, Ropan! Hahaha” says Leo.

“Just relax, I will release all my energy” said Ropan.

“Alright... I'll help you save the thing you took out of your mouth” Leo said.

“No, you can't touch it. It is better that I keep it” said Ropan.

“Alright if you really want that thing, can you start the process of breaking it?” said Leo.

“Of course you can, as long as you don't ask a lot or invite me to talk” said Ropan.

Leo was just speechless and Ropan immediately began the process of breaking something in front of him. The process runs quite a long time, and has even exceeded the time estimated by Ropan. Leo wanted to ask about the process, but he did not want to disturb Ropan who was in focus. Some time after that, Leo decided to ask Ropan about the process that occurred and even he suggested to choose the choice to rotate it.

“Ropan, is it still a long time to hole it? If it cannot be perforated, we better choose a detour instead of underestimating you, but maybe there are some things that can never be perforated… And I don't mean to tell you to give up, but the time I have right now isn't much.

“What did you say? I didn't hear it” Ropan said.

“No, I didn't say anything. Maybe it's just your feelings” said Leo who lied to Ropan.

“What is true like that? Never mind, we better get into the area that I have hollowed this first” said Ropan.

They also immediately entered a place that was right after the hole that had been made by Ropan. The place looks very foreign to them, there are a lot of buttons that have a very strange shape. And there were also some clothes and weaponry that they had never seen before.

“What is this place?” ask Leo.

“I don't know it either, this is the first time I've found a place as beautiful as this” said Ropan.

“Indah? Isn't this place creepy? Lots of equipment that I have never seen” said Leo.

“But, I feel that this place is very beautiful.. And also very calm, it is better that I stay in a place like this rather than have to be in a hot place it” said Ropan.

“You can't be like that, Afton's nature is where you came from, right? Your place was created, and you must guard it. If you lose your place of origin, you will surely feel sad. Trust me” Leo said.

“I know if it will happen like that. But.. Leo, I am not strong.. Especially if I have to hole the other part of the wall” said Ropan.

“Oh yes, I just realized if the land you hole is a wall of this place.. You do not need to force yourself, we can rest for a moment” said Leo.

“No, Leo.. That's not what I meant.. The rest I leave to you”.

Shortly after, Ropan loses his consciousness and drops a mysterious object that Leo previously wanted to see. Leo also looks very panicked to deal with the problem.

“Ropan!!! What the hell happened to you?! You should not have to force yourself! I will try to find a treatment tool in this place so you can regain consciousness” said Leo.

Leo immediately looked for the equipment around him, but he did not see any tools that could cure Ropan. Leo immediately looked for some water and immediately headed back to where Ropan was. Shortly after, Leo poured the water into Ropan's body hoping he would come to his senses. But Ropan was not conscious either. Shortly thereafter, Leo sees a mysterious object that Ropan drops on the floor.

“what really happened? Is this because he has been hollowing out the existing walls for too long? Or because he kept this mysterious thing? Ropan didn't even let me touch her, but I was very curious. It's been better that I find a way to wake up Ropan”.

Leo went back to look for some things that he thought could make Ropan realized again, but his efforts were in vain. Shortly thereafter, Leo searched and picked up a dress that he thought was suitable to keep Ropan from getting cold. Leo went back to where Ropan was. When he returned and was close enough to Ropan, he seemed to stumble because of an invisible object. Leo falls and accidentally touches a mysterious object on the floor that causes him to be unconscious.
