237 Mortal Dilemma

When I awoke, it was to the sound of several dings. 

〚Skill Aptitude Increase:『Appraisal:LV6』has become 『Appraisal:LV7』〛

〚Skill Aptitude Increase:『Faint Resistance:LV8』has become 『Faint Resistance:LV9』〛

I was at the bottom of the steps, having rolled down in my unconscious state, and I scowled. This was getting too much!

Why was such a small box so dangerous, that I passed out just trying to appraise it?

And if so, why wasn't I crystallised as well? 

But then.

〚Skill Aptitude Increase:『Petrification Resistance:LV3』has become 『Petrification Resistance:LV4』〛

Huh? Wait, when did I get this skill?

Holy snakes!

I immediately blinked to the top of the stairs in terror.

After that ding, waiting around was just asking for death.

But I stopped at the entrance where I noticed the bone scythe sticking out from under the debris.
