Erik walked up the old stairway, his footsteps bouncing off the walls. He checked each floor of the building carefully, but found nothing except empty rooms and fallen hallways. A layer of dust covered everything, floating up into the air as he walked and moving at his passage.
[Nothing on the mana scan either,] the system said as they reached the last floor. [The snake was the only thing here.]
Erik moved to a broken window, surveying the surrounding area.
In truth, there were only signs of human presence on the ground level, nothing up here. But what did that mean? Had those people died, or had they simply left without checking the upper floors?
Maybe they were in a hurry or simply didn't care about what was here. Erik had no way to know, and he didn't care, since it was unlikely those traces had been left by his friends.
