Catgirls And Dungeons (Yuri)-Chapter 105: Entering the dungeon alone

Back there, on the other side, the dungeon gate stood upright, hovering just slightly above the ground.

But the moment I step through…

Everything changes.

Gravity twists.

The world flips upside down.

The gate isn't near the ground anymore!

Instead, it's floating—hundreds of meters high in the sky, suspended like a gaping red tear in reality, bleeding ominous light into the air.

And just like that…

I'm no longer standing.

I'm falling.

Freefalling.

FREE!

FALLINGGGGGGG!!!

…

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUCK—?!

HELP!HEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!

I try to scream—desperately—my mind reeling in panic and the crushing sense of doom.

But no sound comes out.

My mouth won't move.My lungs don't respond.

Because I'm still not in control of my body.

The wind shrieks around me, howling past my ears in a deafening roar.

I expect my arms to flail. My legs to kick. Anything.

But no.

My body is limp,

Stiff, and Calm, plummeting headfirst toward jagged, cracked earth far, far below.

The ground rushes up like a guillotine, zooming in, a wall of stone and death that is terrifying as fuck.

Well, I guess… this is it.

I'm going to die.

I'm going to fucking die... how great!

And yet, I can't even close my eyes, can't even brace for impact.

Can't scream.

Can't do anything.

All I can do is fall.

And wait for that final, painful moment when my head split, my brain splatter, my bone crushed and my blood paints the rocks in a splatter of red.

Huhu..

Why?

Whyyyy???

I curse at fate for making me leave this world so abruptly.

Goodbye, Eris.

Goodbye, catgirl life.

Goodbye lesbian sex and stargazing nights.

This is it.

This is how it ends.

Aaaa…. I just hope it doesn't hurt….

And just like that, I've prepared myself mentally, for death, for the end.

…

But then—

At the very last second—

My body shifts.

Suddenly, mechanically, like some machine snapping into place, my legs swing down, locking into perfect landing posture.

And then—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

I hit the ground like a meteor.

The earth detonates.

A thunderous shockwave erupts outward in all directions, shaking the surrounding terrain.

The ground shatters beneath me, ripping apart in a spiderweb of destruction.

Dust billows. Rocks fly.

And when the storm of debris finally settles, I see myself crouching.

Not crushed, but crouching!!!

A superhero landing pose, in the center of a crater two meters deep, surrounded by a spiderweb of fractured stone.

Szzzzttt…..!

Steam hisses from the cracks beneath my boots.

I blink, just once, then slowly exhale, steam curling from my mouth like some kind of monster.

I rise.

Whaaat?….

What the fuck?!!!

I can't believe it.

My legs—

They're… fine?

Not broken. Not bruised. Not even sore. Just tingling a little bit.

And not just my legs, my entire body too!

Nothing is broken. Everything is perfectly fine and healthy.

HOW?!

It doesn't make sense!

I fell from the fucking sky!

I should be a smear on the rocks right now! A puddle of bone and blood!

And yet… here I am… unscathed.

"Tch…"

My tongue clicks. My arm moves, shrugging off my thick winter coat and tossing it aside like garbage.

And then, with a slight push from my foot, my body launches upward.

WHOOSH—!

I soar five meters into the air, cleanly clearing the crater, and land on solid ground with a soft thud.

Damn…

After watching my body move like that, I'm stunned.

Just… what the fuck is going on?

And then— I realize.

Wait…

WAIT A MINUTE!

There's actually one explanation that makes any of this make sense!

After all… this body… didn't originally belong to me.

It was hers!

The other Felicia!

Perhaps, I was just in control… for a while until she woke up.

—————————-

Now—

As my head turns, I finally see it—the true nature of this S-rank dungeon.

Not a forest.

Not a wasteland.

Not a desert or cave.

But a castle.

A huge, sprawling castle!

An ancient, massive, and hauntingly beautiful one.

My mind reels, momentarily stunned by the sheer scale of it.

The castle looms in the distance, perched atop a floating landmass—an enormous slab of jagged rock suspended high above the abyss, as if torn from the earth itself and left to drift alone in silence.

Its towers rise like broken spears, their blackened tips lost in the swirling mist above. Spires twist skyward like skeletal fingers clawing at the heavens, some leaning dangerously, as though the entire structure might collapse at any moment, but somehow, it endures.

Its architecture is unmistakably gothic: arched windows, crumbling cathedral peaks, shattered buttresses now fractured and draped in frost. Entire wings of the castle have collapsed, their remains jutting from the edge of the floating rock like jagged bones forgotten by time.

There is no sun in this place. Only a dim, pale blue glow that spills across the stone and frost like dying moonlight. The light touches everything, but warms nothing.

And because there is no sun… it's quite cold… I guess?

Because for some reason, I'm not feeling very cold right now.

Yet, everything is blanketed in snow, and in a bluish-white hue. Wisps of mist drift lazily through broken pillars. Frost clings to every surface like a second skin, and here and there, ghostly blue flames flicker in the air…

And then, as body moves forward, I notice…

Oh!

There is a bridge!

Or rather… what remains of one.

It must've been massive once, a proud stone bridge connecting the floating fortress to the land I stand on now. But it's long since collapsed. Its center section has been shattered, fallen into the depths below.

Damn…

As I take all of this scenery in…

If I could gasp, I would.

This is gorgeous… but in a the darkest, spookiest, and most mysterious way possible!

It's like something pulled straight from a dark fantasy game or novel, the kind where every step is cursed, every hallway filled with ghosts, demons, fallen angels and dark knights.

Honestly, if this is inside a game, then hell yeah, I would definitely play it no matter how much it cost.

But since this is reality…

Oh hell nah.

Being lost in a place like this is literally one of the worst nightmares.

Abruptly, my body stops in its track.

And for a long, still moment, I just stand there, staring in silence.

The icy wind howls faintly in the distance.

Then suddenly…

Tears start streaming down…

And in my chest, my heart aches.

Waves of emotions that does not belong to me hits me, filled with sadness, anger…

And a memory.
