After a few minutes, William straightened, sheathing his sword as he addressed the group. "It’s time. Let’s find the entrance to the next floor."The hunters nodded in agreement, their determination renewed by William’s words. Despite the exhaustion that weighed heavily on their bodies, they knew they couldn’t afford to linger. The tower’s challenges were relentless, and the only way forward was through whatever trials awaited them on the next floor.They began to move through the chamber, carefully stepping over the bodies of the fallen goblins. The once fierce and terrifying creatures now lay still, their demonic weapons scattered across the bloodstained floor. The sight was a grim reminder of the battle they had just survived, but it also served as motivation. They had come this far, and they wouldn’t let anything stop them now.As they searched the chamber, their eyes scanning every corner for any sign of the entrance to the next floor, Mark spoke up. "There’s got to be somethin

They began their journey through the forest, the trees towering over them as they moved in a tight formation. The path was uneven, with roots and underbrush making it difficult to navigate, but they pressed on, their senses alert for any sign of danger.As they walked, William reached into his pack and pulled out some food rations he had stored. The battle had drained their energy, and they needed to keep their strength up for what was to come."Here," he said, passing the rations around. "Eat up. We’ll need our energy."The hunters took the food gratefully, chewing on the dried meat and fruit as they continued their journey. The forest was quiet, almost eerily so, and the only sounds were the crunch of leaves underfoot and the occasional snap of a twig.After a few hours of walking, the trees began to thin, and the air grew colder. The sense of foreboding that had hung over them since entering the forest grew stronger, and the hunters knew they were getting close.When they finally r

William focused on one of the heads that had become too aggressive, its jaws snapping at him repeatedly. He baited it with a feint, drawing it in closer before lunging forward with a powerful slash. His sword, glowing with crimson energy, sliced through the thick scales, embedding itself deep into the serpent’s flesh. The head reared back, shrieking in pain, but William wasn’t done. He twisted the blade, channeling his blood magic into the wound, causing it to erupt in a shower of dark blood.The serpent roared in agony, thrashing wildly as it tried to dislodge William’s blade. But William held on, determined to finish the job. He summoned a spear made of blood magic in his free hand, its tip glowing with a deadly light. With a shout, he drove the spear into the serpent’s eye, piercing through the vulnerable organ and into the brain behind it.The head convulsed violently before finally going limp, its lifeless body slumping to the ground with a heavy thud. One down.The hunters che

As William stepped through the portal, the world around him dissolved into a blur of light and energy. The sensation was disorienting, as if he were being pulled through a tunnel at breakneck speed, but it lasted only a moment. When the light faded, he found himself standing in a place that defied all sense of reality.The ground beneath his feet was blackened and cracked, as if the very earth had been scorched by an unrelenting fire. Flames flickered and danced across the landscape, casting an eerie, orange glow that bathed everything in a hellish light. The air was thick with heat, and the smell of sulfur and burning flesh hung heavy in the air, making it difficult to breathe.All around them, the landscape stretched out in a twisted, nightmarish expanse. Jagged mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks wreathed in fire and smoke. Rivers of molten lava snaked through the land, their glowing currents radiating an intense heat that made the skin prickle. And everywhere they l

In the inferno purgatory, Willaim and the hunters heard a very loud shriek that pierce through the core of emotions and inflicts all sort of negative emotions, including fears. William quickly pun around, his eyes scanning the horizon for the source of the noise. The flames flickered and danced in the distance, casting long shadows across the cracked ground, but there was nothing else in sight.But then the shadows began to move.From the darkness between the flames, figures began to emerge. At first, they were little more than dark shapes, but as they drew closer, their forms became clearer. They were tall, towering over the hunters, with long, tattered robes that billowed around them like smoke. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but their eyes—glowing a sickly green—burned with a cold, unholy light.Each figure carried a massive scythe, the blades glinting wickedly in the firelight. They moved with a slow, deliberate grace, their skel

The robotic voice barely finished speaking when the ground beneath the hunters began to tremble violently. Before they could react, the floor cracked open beneath their feet, creating a gaping tunnel that spiraled downward into darkness. Without a moment’s hesitation, William shouted, “Into the tunnel! Move!”The hunters, their instincts honed by the countless battles they had fought, didn’t waste time questioning. They jumped into the tunnel, their bodies sliding down the smooth, obsidian-like surface as the walls blurred past them. The descent was steep, and the sensation of speed was dizzying, but none of them allowed fear to take hold. They knew that whatever awaited them at the end of this tunnel was the final challenge of the tower.The tunnel seemed to stretch on endlessly, the darkness oppressive and suffocating. But far ahead, a faint light appeared, growing brighter as they drew closer. The sight of it brought a spark of hope to the hunters—they were nearing the end.Howeve

As the hunters leaped into the light, they felt a sudden, jarring sensation as if the very fabric of reality had shifted around them. The blinding brightness enveloped them, and for a moment, it felt as though they were floating in an endless void. But then, just as quickly, the sensation ended, and they found themselves standing on solid ground once more.The light receded, and with it, the warmth that had surrounded them. Each of them opened their eyes to a new reality—one that was far from the serene landscape they had glimpsed before. Instead, they were plunged into separate worlds, each one a twisted, chaotic reflection of the challenges they had already faced. And worst of all, they were alone.Carson blinked, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was standing in a dense forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. The trees were gnarled and twisted, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the

Gregor awoke to a world of fire and smoke. The ground beneath him was hot, the air thick with ash and the smell of burning flesh. He groaned as he pushed himself to his feet, his body aching from the strain of the previous battles. But as he looked around, he realized that he was alone.“Carson? William?” he called out, but his voice was swallowed by the roar of the flames that surrounded him.He was standing in the middle of a volcanic wasteland, the ground cracked and scorched, with rivers of molten lava flowing through the fissures. The sky above was a dark, stormy gray, with ash and embers swirling in the air like a deadly blizzard. In the distance, he could see massive volcanic peaks, their slopes glowing with the intense heat of the lava flows.There was no sign of his comrades, no trace of the others who had fought by his side. Gregor clenched his fists, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. “Where am I? What is this place?”But there was no time for a
