Claunck: Some say you find your destiny but in (Y/N) (L/N)'s case, I think destiny found him first on one faithful day in the mountains

???: Come here...to me

No one's POV
(Y/N) snaps awake upon hearing that strange voice but he does not know if it was a dream but to him, it was.
"I guess I gotta keep moving then" (Y/N) gets out of his sleeping, rolling it for him to use in the future.
The campsite for him was in the forest and the mountain was just close but then he made camp for the night.
The fire was extinguished but luckily there were no animals nearby to disturb his sleep.

(Y/N) picked up all his things before putting them in the bag but at the time that he came made him anxious while bringing essentials for his trip to the mountains like bringing a survival knife, bug spray, phone, sleeping bag, and all the other things that he brought just in case something bad happens.

"Okay...Let's climb this mountain before I go back to my work" He mumbled in determination and a mix of anxiety.
He started walking toward the mountains but he does not know what lurks there.

Upon arriving at the bottom of the mountain while clutching his backpack straps as the wind blows while the clouds were covering the sun.
(Y/N)'s POV
It felt like an eternity by walking upwards to the mountain and yet I have to enjoy my vacation, just not sitting in front of my computer playing games, wasting my vacation days.
My eyes were so sore after playing games on my computer for literally 10 hours of it.

My deep thoughts were interrupted by a cold breeze and this is not feeling right because it is summer in April.
"Why the hell is it so cold?" I hug myself since I wore a white T-shirt and (F/C) jacket.
I was nearly about to say "Why the hell is it so cold...Who are you? My ex-girlfriend?" since I am addicted to watching Steven He on Youtube as my new favorite comedian.
I continue walking upward but then I see blue in the sky before a loud ear-splitting lightning nearly massacred my eardrums before I started running and I felt raindrops on me before the rain is pouring down on me in the middle of the summer.
~A few minutes later~
I enter a cave while the rain is pouring heavily outside and I am so lucky that my things didn't get soaking wet but my backpack.
"I guess...I'll wait in here..Stupid rain, it was supposed to be sunny like what the hell is wrong with the weather" I ranted as I explore further into the cave while turning on my flashlight on my phone which is at 80%.

~4 minutes later~
I explore further into these caverns and I think this is an abandoned mine or something due to pickaxes laying around along with some carts, lite torches, and some skeletons of the decease in here.
Luck was on my side as I found some safe drinkable water here and I store some of it in my water bottle since it is safe to drink them because I've played a survival game called Arid.
"Come...closer...now" That strange voice came back and I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating right after I woke up from my camp but the voice sounded like a woman with a soothing motherly voice, relieving anxiety upon hearing it.

I shook my head before I see a dried blood trail in front of me and I decided to follow the trail due to my curiosity.
The trail stopped as I see a pedestal with a black crown with a single teal eye in the middle, blinking like a normal eye, and I am having a feeling that this is a trap since I saw several corpses in there.

I backed away to leave this place but then I felt an invisible wall, blocking my only route outside.
I tried to get out but nothing worked and I felt as if my hope is drained as the crown stared at me.
I decided to carefully walk up to the crown to avoid those traps like in the movies from triggering and to my surprise there were none which confuses me a lot.

I grasp the crown in both hands because I am having Indiana Jones vibes here and I shut my eyes tightly before I slowly lift the crown.

I successfully lift it, expecting a trap to be triggered but there was none after waiting for a whole minute of me holding it in my hands.

Things changed when I put it on my head before I felt dizzy and then I regretted my decision.
Everything went dark as I lost consciousness.
