Chapter 7: Labyrinths First Floor Cleared. (2/2)

With Gray getting closer to his throne, the armor strained even more.

Gray moved the replica of the golden armor that was sitting on the throne away as soon as he reached the throne. A purple sphere of crystal was visible embedded into the throne.

”Found it.” Said Gray as he raised his blade up into the air.

The armor was unpaused and, in desperation, it leapt towards Gray, its arm extended to stop him.

However, it wasn't fast enough.

*SLASH!* *CRACK!*

A purple flash filled the room when Gray cut the purple crystal in half. Gold armor then scattered to the ground as a notification rang inside Gray's head.

[You have conquered the labyrinth's first floor!]

A grin widened on Gray's face as he saw this. As a door appeared to open, a small tremble was heard in the room. A path led ahead behind the throne, and Gray was puzzled to see that it had opened.

A purple orb then emerged from the purple core, stealing his attention. He grabbed it in curiosity, and it was incredibly light.

[Skill orb discovered]

[Skill: Unknown]

[Would you like to absorb skill]

Excited, Gray didn't hesitate to reply. ”Yes.”

[Failed, unable to absorb skill]

[Failed, unable to absorb skill]

'Fuck, is it because I have a skill already?' Gray cursed.

The orb ball was tucked away in his pocket after he gave up on it.

[Quest: Finish the second floor of the labyrinth, available]

[Accept?]

”HELL NO!” Gray shouted, walking back towards the entrance.

While he may have acted like a badass a second ago, that was actually due to him having noticed the core was not inside of the armor piece, but rather on the throne. Right now, he felt dizzy, nauseous, and drained; if not for the adrenaline, he might faint at any moment.

Because of his hunger, his stomach was making him feel sensations he never knew it could produce. There was an unpleasant smell coming from him. He just wanted to go home and sleep, if he was going to live his life, he'd make the most of it.

- Preview.

It had been his expectation that there would be military personnel waiting to bring him in for questioning outside the Labyrinth. Once Gray had finally reached the surface, he could not help but be shocked by what he saw.

The sound of gunshots reverberated throughout the air. A horde of undead was heading his way and people were screaming around him.
