I closed my eyes as I touched the walls to feel where I was. When I reached the end of the hallway I opened my eyes, and what met my eyes were walls. There I immediately knew.
"A maze..."
A maze wouldn't be that hard as I could just write it on my skin... or so I stupidly thought before I realized I heal almost instantly.
In front of me were two ways. One to the left and one to the right. As the simplest rule of any maze, always go to the left...
"Or... right? I don't know! Whatever, left it is!"
I didn't know that time but the size of this maze will make me spend more time in this maze than I have spent alive(no memory).
"Always go left."
My heart was starting to burn once more, and it's not because a maze is anything exciting. I would even say it's completely boring. But the sounds of wild beasts or maybe even monsters could be heard from the walls of this maze.
I then reached the end of the left turn and so I took one more left. Next was just a wall that turns to the right, so I just took that.
Two more turns and I then encountered my first enemy.
"KrrrKrrr."
It was a weird green monster that was holding a knife.
I wanted to try something, that's why I rushed to the goblin without even pulling my bone out as a weapon. But then as I ran I remembered a way to use a weapon with two hands. Or just a sharp weapon that didn't require the bone in my arm.
But as I wanted I didn't do that and just let the green monster run at me and stab me.
I then held the wrist of the green monster that had a knife and pulled it out as he bit my arm. I then forcefully took his knife and just stabbed him in the head.
That's when I knew, fighting was easy as an immortal, as long as they are not absurdly exaggerated.
The place the monster was at was a dead end. But going there was not a waste at all as I got a knife and clothes from the green monster. It was a bron and dirty cloth, but as someone who hasn't bathed his whole life, I was obligated to not care.
I went back to the nearest place that had another turn. So then I turned to the right turn. After a few more turns I then encountered another green monster which I just threw the knife at, which failed.
And so I just did the same thing...
I ripped my chest open and took 2 of my ribs and jumped at the green monster and killed it.
"A little overboard huh."
One of the greatest things about having your arm bone as your weapon was that every time you finish using it, it just sticks back to your arm like it was a weapon that goes back to your robotic body. But with two ribs I could just hold it straight in front of me and they will fly back to my chest.
"They do hurt, but it looks cool, or at least it feels cool."
I went deeper into the maze and just kept on going and turning till I found another monster that was different.
It was a werewolf looking monster.
Unlike the green monster this one didn't wait for my attack but just immediately jumped at me.
"I have two knives, dog."
As the werewolf was in the air I just raised my knife and jumped when it was closed then rammed him to the ground when my knife was in him.
"Woohooo! That was one!"
The werewolf was totally just like a wolf. So using my knives I cut its chest vertically to get a waist cloth. It was not comfortable when the fur was outside but then when the fur was inside, blood was seen on the outside.
So then I picked the fur to go inside.
I also then ripped the claws of the werewolf and then just jammed them to my knuckles.
"Now I LOOK like a wolf."
After taking everything I could from the werewolf I then proceeded to go through the maze.
It didn't take long till I started to get lost from the maze.
"Ok... Where am I?"
My mind was so focused on killing that I couldn't even remember where I came from. I then just ignored it and focused on just running through the maze till I got to the exit.
"It wouldn't take that long."
I said with the most arrogant tone that I regret the most.
Going deeper into the maze I encountered more and more different monsters. Being immortal makes mazes with monsters not at all dangerous. I thought that maybe that was why I haven't encountered a single trap yet.
I soon encountered another monster that was at the shape of a gooey clear blob that was moving with eyes on it and a small sphere in the middle of its clear body.
It didn't look dangerous so I just hurried to kill it. It then touched my skin which burned it with toxins.
"So it's a toxic monster."
I stabbed the sphere of its body and it just melted and decomposed.
Finally after walking through the maze for days I started to go insane.
"WHERE IS THE EXIT!!!!"
"BRING ME BACK!"
I started to just run randomly, even just passing through multiple monsters out of panic and insanity. More and more days passed, days that I never could count. Times that I just don't remember to a point all I could remember are gray walls.
As I ran through the maze I then finally entered a place that wasn't just simple hallways that lead to more hallways. I saw light and it gave me happiness...
Until when I entered the room with lights and saw a monster half the size of the beast from the tutorial.
But this time I thought I had two knives.
The monster had a huge body with the face of a bull.
As soon as I entered the room the bull rushed at me with a huge axe he was holding. As an act of self defense I raised my knives to block the axe. But in a split second I realized that was useless and removed the knives resulting in my entire body being cut in half.
I then regenerated to the left of my body and ran fast behind the bull and then climbed his back like I did in the past.
I may have once said I never experienced climbing, but that was on rocks, on a monster, I could climb like I run.
When I was atop the bull he was swinging his axe around like a tornado which made my head dizzy. But that didn't stop me from my objective. I then stabbed both the eyes of the bull which made him make his head look up so fast that it made me lose grip to the bull.
I was thrown to the top of one of the walls and then slid off to the ground which made me break my bones two times in a row.
I stayed where I was as the bull was still swinging his huge axe like a tornado and I left my knives at his eyes. I walked towards the bull and when I got close I ducked and crawled below the swinging axe. To get back to the top of the bull after I was at the handle I had more space to throw my limb to the sky and regenerate there.
After coming back to the air and dropping to the head of the bull I pulled out my ribs and constantly stabbed the head of the bull.
"1 rib, 2 rib..."
The bull stood strong till, I even ran out of ribs to stab the bull before it finally gave in and dropped dead to the ground.
As an immortal I never get tired, that means my physical performance will never worsen, but my mentality truly took a damage on the fight.
I walked away from the bull as I finally killed it, till the bull stood once more and sliced me in half again.
"What?!"
When I regenerated back, the bull was on the floor once more. Just to make sure it was dead I re-stabbed all my ribs to the head of the bull.
"What a fight! It wasn't long but fuck I'm too weak!"
As I walked to exit the room I then came to thinking about why there was even such a monster with a specific room with no other pathways that it leads to... if it didn't have anything special in it.
I then went back and butchered the bull. I also used the opportunity to get another clothing as the one with the werewolf, was destroyed when I was ripped in half.
As I was butchering the bull, all I could think of was...
"That brought my sanity ba-"
'Aghhhhh!!!'
I was stuck. Blades from above came raining down. The blades reached the ceiling making it so that I couldn't even move.
I had no choice but to pish through and rip my body out of the blades to be free. I started with my legs and then moved to my head which was so much more painful than I expected.
'Aghhhh!!'
I pulled out my head and I was in such an uncomfortable situation. I then removed my hands.
Now that the body was the only one left, I couldn't really move my body precisely as it was too big. And so I just tried to stand up and ruined my entire body as I forcefully not just rip my skin of nor take my bone, but rip my heart out and cut myself in 4 different ways.
"Fuck!"
When I was finally out I just gave up to look for anything that the room offered... Until I saw something in the middle of the room.
"A paper?"
I squished myself in to move to the middle of the room. There was a piece of paper that the blade had stabbed to the ground.
I ripped the paper off and to my surprise, and to my eternal joy... It was a map!
But when I looked at the map it wasn't an effective nor in any way an efficient map.
The paper showed 4 boxes that were labeled "mid boss". And a mark that showed that I was at the top left part of the maze.
The map had no paths nor anything else other than the bosses...
"This is fucking useless!"
