Madness In Wonderland

The White Rabbit

First-Person View

---

Fresh blood trickled upon my face after I slashed the bunny's upper body in half. Its eyes, which were now quite a bit distance away from each other since I cut him in half, all had a look of horror and fear.

To be honest, I didn't expect him to change into a rabbit when he ran away from me, but thankfully, I didn't let the surprise hinder me, and I managed to kill it.

I didn't feel anything after killing him. It was just like when I killed those fish creatures. Despite Albert being capable of speaking, I killed him without a second thought.

Still, he was quite powerful, and that special technique of his was formidable. But, that was it. He lacked footwork, technique, skills, etc... If you want my hypothesis, it seemed that he was used to being more powerful and faster than his opponents. As such, he never even bothered to learn any techniques or combat arts. His feeling of omnipotence swelled him up and thought no one could challenge him.

Hmm, omnipotence? That sounds fancy, and I think it's the correct word to use here. Or maybe I should use all-powerful? Oh wait, I think they are the same thing?

Alas, that doesn't matter. If a truly experienced warrior appeared, I believe they could've killed him as well.

[You have managed to successfully kill Albert, The King of The Insane Rabbits! You have gained 804 experience points! You have successfully leveled up to level 5!]

[We detected that you have killed a Guardian. Absorb his core to unlock your potential, and have full access to the system!]

A few moments after killing the rabbit, which was apparently called 'Albert', this transparent panel gave me many notifications. That was odd. Usually, it instantly appeared the moment I killed a target, like the fish things, but it took a bit of time here. Perhaps 'Albert' didn't instantly die.

Also, the king of the insane rabbits? What a title.

Still, 800 experience points are quite a lot. And unlike the fish things, his name is not gibberish. That's good. It seems I have also leveled up, whatever that does. I think I was already level 3 prior to fighting Albert, since it gave me a few of these level-up notifications when I killed quite a bit of those fish things. So it was quite a nice jump.

Still, unlocking my potential, and absorbing his core? I assume it means the sphere that is in his stomach? Now that I think about it, the rabbit did mention something about unlocking my potential, or something.

I reached my hand out to the core inside the stomach of Albert and ripped it out. It was odd to touch. It felt warm, and a pleasant feeling seeped through my body, calming me down.

Still, I'm not sure how to absorb this. Do I need to eat it?

If so, then I should postpone that until later. I put the core back into Albert's stomach.

Because, well, if it wasn't obvious already, I was currently falling through an endless pit. I couldn't even see the bottom.

Once I turned my attention towards the sides of this pit, I noticed that they were filled with cupboards and bookshelves; here and there I also saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs.

What kind of pit was this? Hell, that wasn't even the weird part.

I'm not sure what kind of magic this place has, but it seems I was falling slowly, as if my speed wasn't increasing due to gravity. If I continue to fall at this rate, I probably won't be injured, at least, not by a lot. No wonder Albert decided to escape to this place. He wouldn't even be damaged due to his strong physique and this pit's magical energy that slowed the descent of anything falling into it.
