Luckily, there was no one to disturb your slumber this time.

The only reason you woke up early in the morning was because your stomach had demanded that it get some sort of sustenance in it. You groaned as you stretched out against the dirt, rubbing your eyes until they adjusted to the sunlight. You had decided that after getting some food, you would explore this open area a bit more.
While walking around, you found more fruit hanging off of the trees. You had wished you brought a sword with you so that you could get something a little more filling, but alas, all you had was your tools to dig into the dirt.
As you munched on the fruit, you had decided to take a stroll around the area to see what was all around it besides the obvious tree with the cave in the back. You mentally noted that there was a couple of slimes around the area but there was nothing too crazy.
Eventually, you walked back to the tree and adventured around to see if there was anything that caught your eye, which luckily you did. On the top of the hill there was a sword stuck into the ground. It might of been nothing before, but with the raise that you had gotten from the adventure's guild, it might be able to sell for a pretty penny.
Not remembering your past problems with hills, you grabbed the handle of the sword and pulled up, hoping that you would be able to get it loose. Unfortunately the only thing that has happened was absolutely nothing. You yelled out in anger and dug your heels into the ground, grabbing the underside of the hilt and pulling up. Instead of the sword coming out, you lost balance and flew back down the hill and into the cave.
You groaned out in pain and grabbed your ankle which was now throbbing. "Oh shit." You said, your ankle feeling as if it was on fire. "I think I twisted it." The only thing you could do was lean yourself up against the wall and shimmy further down the cave to see if you could find something to make a stilt out of. Luckily, you found two pieces of wood that would just need something to hold it together. You took on look at your shirt and ripped it in half, hence making it some sort of crop top.
Sitting on the ground, you made a makeshift stilt for your twisted ankle. Finally you were able to walk somewhat normally. As you got up to get out of the cave, there was a orange light in the corner of your eye that caught your attention. "What the..." You whispered, slowly making your way towards it and peeking around the corner.
Once you made it to the corner the strange orange glow was emitting from, you had noticed that there was three sleeping treasure hoarders scattered around the small area. at the edge of the small room was an entrance to another part of the cave.
Everything within your body was telling you to not go further in, but there was that little voice saying that if the treasure hoarders were here then maybe there would be more valuable loot. Greed got the best of you and you had decided to go further into the cave.

As you adventured into the tunnel, you never noticed the shimmering symbol that had appeared in the entrance. Even if you did notice it, you wouldn't be so sure if you would have understood it anyways.
"Hello?" You said, walking into a large opening. The walls were covered in dark jagged rocks and in the middle of the room was a large orange glimmering circle with more unknown language shining across it. "What is this." You voice echoed across the cave. making it seem more ominous. Walking further into the cave, you never noticed the breathing rock laying in the middle of the glimmering circle.
Now that you took a better look at the room, you noticed not that only this was a cave, but that it was a prison. "Oh no." As soon as those words left your mouth, the ground began to rumble ferociously.
The sleeping rock in the middle of the room grew legs, a face with large fangs and then a tail with spikes as big as buildings. The monster itself was as big as a mountain. It let out a ear shattering roar before slamming it's feet against the ground, causing you to fall to the floor in terror. How were you going to get out of this? You didn't have a weapon, nor a vision.
Before you could make an escape, the monster locked eyes with you and charged. You screamed, limping to get out of it's way. Since the monster was too heavy to stop itself quickly, it's body rammed against the cave walls. You braced yourself for the impact by holding on to one of the rocks sticking out of the wall. The whole cavern shook, you wouldn't be surprised if the whole continent shook as well.
The monster shook it's head in frustration, it's horns scraping against the walls and causing sparks to fly all over the place. it turned it's head to look at you once again, it's large beady eyes looking at you with rage. Never in your life have you seen something like this before, it terrified you.
Once again, it started barreling towards you. Before you could dodge it's attack, you fell back into the small opening that you had came from. Relief washed over you, but that soon was replaced with terror as the face of the monster was right in front of the opening, staring down at your figure. It let out a deadly roar once again, it's spit spraying over the cave walls and your clothing.
To your luck, the monster seemed to give up on attacking you and went back to it's circle. Finally you felt relaxed until there was voices echoing from where you first entered.
