Part 010
The food was hearty and filling. It was also icy cold and hard at first, but apparently I can create fire out of my palm. Interesting, I’m a wizard now, apparently. If only my name was Harry.
After checking the other three doors in this room, I confirmed they all led to other perfectly normal rooms and the only way out of this labyrinthine hell would be to leave out the original door I came in from, so I first barricade it with the furniture in the dining room (Not necessarily to stop things from entering, but to make noise and give me warning while I sleep) and then I head back into the bedroom, which has a big beautiful bed there with elaborate quilted blankets and all sorts of strange designs on them, with creatures that resemble dragons and monsters from old fairy tales.
What I find curious though, is the decorations in all 4 rooms of this small house-like structure. The first room is decidedly "modern" based on the amenities it provides, reminding me of the things that existed in the year I left from, though the wooden walls remind me of a somewhat older building.
The bathroom however, resembles an old Japanese style toilet, where you squat over it to do your business.
The bedroom is Victorian in nature. Very old, with a big beautiful mirror made of oak and glass on the wall, and the big bed with its four tall wooden pillars that extend up towards the ceiling.
The last room though… it blows my mind. It’s a small armory. It’s packed to the brim with weapons, armor, all of it highly advanced, far beyond anything I’ve ever imagined. The problem? I can’t figure out how to use any of it. Most of the things I see are clearly weapons, yet they have no triggers or anything that would imply they could fire projectiles. Maybe they read your brain to fire or something, but even stranger is that they’re all very big and heavy, shaped in a way that is definitely not human-size.
And the armor is unwearable. It’s not human sized, or shaped. As cool as all of this looks, it seems to be useless to me. Oh well, I can shoot fire and light out of my hands, what use do I have for weapons anyway?
I’m going to sleep now, tomorrow, I shall begin my exploration of the labyrinth in full.
Great job so far, thanks for writing. An interesting take in the prompt I never would have thought of.
Anytime hell gets mentioned my brain thinks of Doom 3, and how much that game freaked me out. I got that feeling reading this. Keep up the good work!
Oh and would of, could of, should of. I just want to watch the world burn.
“would/could/should of” does not exist. What you’re thinking of is “would/could/should’ve”, a contraction of the word and have. Please do not use would of, could of or should of.
I could of, should of, and would of took your advice, but unfortunatly you sound like a condescending dbag.
Bad grammar tends to attract those.
would have taken*

Fun fact, there was a VR game I was watching someone play some time back. A certain part of this prompt is based off it since it made me actually scream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl7fz__6B-4
Omg so I finally had a chance to watch that video. I’ve been stuck places where I wouldn’t be able to listen to sound and as soon as it loaded….I’ve already seen it. It made me jump a bunch too!!
So, does he just hold the ball while he’s doing all of this?
I think the touch of it gave him the abilities. He left it in the dungeon. Although the writer didn’t mention any of it
Didn’t the ball lite the way down the tunnel for him?
Well there was the light that appeared at the very end of the tunnel when he was running from the beast, which was the ball. Then he defeated the beast (shadow) with the light from his hand. After that he went up the stairs which were lit by glowstones every few metres. Or do I mix things up?
More like straight down a short hallway but basically accurate. I don’t always describe enough of a scene.
That’s right but right as he opened the door he mentioned how the stone illuminated the entire passage. The glow-stones barley made the hall passable.
No, he still has the orb. Why would he leave it behind haha
Good protagonists know not to drop key items.
I hope it isn’t the Loc-nar

You know, if he still has the pistol, he could really easily clean it out if he can get his hands on an abrasive substance and a cloth.
