Dimension 02 (Redux)

## Dimension 02

   Dimension 02 is a dimension of constant darkness, and the only way to enter it is by using the "Gateway", which looks like an ordinary door. There are many strange things in this realm - some people call these creatures "shadow beasts". The most dangerous one is called an "axer", a humanoid creature with claws instead of hands. They attack anyone who enters their territory.

To leave the dimension, you need to find a way out - either through the gateway or by finding the other end of the Path. In order to do so, you will have to pass through its shadow. This is quite tricky as there are no landmarks or anything that tells you where you are going. If you want to know more about these places and what they look like, read on.

A place where everything is black and grey. Even though there are not much light sources around, it's still possible to see the surroundings... if your eyes can stand the darkness. It seems like nobody ever goes here because of the dangers. Though once you get used to it, it becomes very easy to move around. You should be careful with all kinds of creatures - they are always lurking behind a corner. They usually don't attack unless provoked. Their abilities include: poison (not fatal), paralysis (very painful) and invisibility (only for a short time). Their weapons consist of sharp nails, heavy clubs and axes. Axes can cause bleeding and inflict weakness. The poison causes numbness and slows down the movement. If you're poisoned, try to run away and drink some water to cleanse yourself. Don't stay in the middle of nowhere too long without any supplies. You'll become thirsty pretty soon. The best thing to do when you encounter them is to kill them before they even have a chance to strike back. Poisoned ones' poison is also fatal.

It is said that in this world there are no gods and angels. No one knows why there aren't any; maybe they just didn't exist at that moment? Maybe they were exterminated by the shadow beasts? Anyway, there are a lot of monsters here. Some of them are relatively harmless, but others are extremely dangerous.

There is a small temple in the center of this place. It is surrounded by pillars and has a big dome on top of it. Inside there is a lot of gold, silver, gems and precious stones. Nobody knows how it got there or from whom. But now everyone wants to get their hands on it. They say that those who make a wish inside the temple will come true. So far the wishes haven't been fulfilled, but some people claim that they finally found the lost treasure.

This is a forest full of trees shaped like triangles. They are covered in green leaves and each tree has a single pointy tip. In the middle of the forest there are two cauldrons filled with lava. Every day, the flames rise up into the sky. Once they reach the highest peak, they disappear again. From a distance, it seems like they are floating in the air. At night they shine bright red. They move through the sky and occasionally crash into each other. This results in a loud noise and sparks flying everywhere. If you go closer to the forest, you might hear voices coming from inside it. Someone is chanting something.
