The metal wall underground was no different from regular ground with ups and downs. There were hills in some places and valleys in others.
Or at least, that was what Alex expected when he went down the slope.
However, as he continued, he quickly found that the slope did not fix itself. Rather, it got steeper and steeper, to the point that he was now facing straight downward, despite walking on what he thought was just another layer of ground.
Alex was confused out of his mind, as regular land underground would not slope down like this. As he continued, his mind failed to fathom just what was happening.
The slope could not get any steeper at that point, but it did. The slope got inverted. As Alex walked on and on, trying to make sense of the situation, he reached a point where he just had to stop and take it all in.
