The shackles were digging into my skin. I couldn't sleep nor die.

I tried to kill myself to reset but it was impossible, being chained up to the ceiling leaves less to do. 

It's been hours since I've been trapped in this cell. 

I kicked and screamed before just giving up. 

***

Another hour passes by, he arrived. 

The man. 

"Hey kid. I should've known it was a scumbag guard like you" 

He spits at my face. It was actually impressive to spit that far. 

"I don't remember what I did. Just let me out please."

"I remember what you guys did! You killed villagers who spoke against the king. You defended that fat pig when we tried to assemble. You killed innocents and you believed he was right!" 

His voice grew louder and louder until I stopped listening. 

At this point I'm just tired of what he's saying. 

"You bastards killed my daughter."

His hands grip the bars tightly, his knuckles were white his face was flushed with anger. 

"I swear we'll ki-"

"Shut the fuck up."

I'm tired this bastard talking on and on and on. I don't care what happened I want to get out. 

"Hurry up and kill me then. Your bitch daughter probably deserved it"

I laughed, trying to make him angry so he can kill me. 

"I don't care any more. Don't care about the damn planned execution I'll kill you myself"

He takes out the keeps unlocking the cell. 

He walks in here, as soon as he walk in I lean back before attempting to kick him. It goes wrong as he dodges out of the way. 

He grabs onto my foot, I then attempt to kick him with my other, it connects with his eye. 

He grunts in pain letting go. I try to build up more momentum again. 

He recovers quickly, he grabs ahold of my legs pulling me down from the ceiling, the chains that were connected were pulled out with the stone still connected. 

He gets on top and starts to pummel me the fuck out of me. 

I kneed his groin, it gets him off me well enough so I can wrap the chains around his neck. 

I got onto his back while pulling the chains tightly choking him. 

He didn't go down easily. He was biting into my let's while clawing and punching my legs. Minutes go by, his body was stiff. I kept pulling hard making sure he was fully dead. I got off, checking his pockets for keys, quickly I took it off him, unlocking the shackles. 

I sighed sitting next to the body.

"Sorry bud. I need to get the fuck out"

I ruffled through his hair before leaving the cell. As I step outside the cell, I found myself in a dimly lit corridor corridor of the twenty fourth floor. The air was musty and damp, and the only sounds were of rats scurrying in-between walls and the echoes of dripping water. 

I move throughout the halls, listening in for potential guards or residents, passing by other prisoners in various states of madness and injury. Some were too weak to acknowledge my presence while others begged for help or cursing at whatever god put them there. 

Making my way through the maze like passages of this dead dungeon I either had to sneak by guards or kill. The ones I did kill I strip them off their armor and clothing, picking their weapons off them. 

I must of been too noisy, a guard no. a fucking beast of person stood behind me. It was an orc, no man would be that huge. Before I could react a large kick sent me flying, I was sent skittering across the floor until landing against the wall. 

I got up slowly, eying the fucker who did that. He was an orc alright, unlike orcs this bastard was wearing armor. his filthy green skin was showing between the joints and spots where the armor couldn't cover. we wield a large hammer as he charged through the small corridor. 

I was trapper, he caught me in a dead end, he swung side ways, I barely rolled under it, I took advantage as I his exposed sides with a dagger I found earlier. 

I then had to move myself out the way from a terrifying stomp.

I unsheathed the sword I got from the earlier guard, the dagger was still in the bastards so he pulled it out, blackish blood comes seeping out. He growled under his breath before charging again. 

I tried to duck under but was met a knee to chin, clever orc predicted me. I was stunned for a seond but that was enough time for the bastard to lift his hammer and send it flying down to by body. 

I managed to dodge last second, twisting my body to let my shoulder take the brunt of the damage. The pain was unbearable, my shoulder and the rest of arm was surely broken. I got up not letting this slow me down as I plunged the sword to his exposed neck. 

The black blood spurted like a fountain, I continue to stab it in deeper before falling onto my side. The orc stood there twitching before finally falling, the sword still stuck. 

I had to collect myself before pulling myself up, I tried to take the sword out but it was stuck in there, even after death orcs are still a fucking a pain in ass. 

I slowly walked, grabbing the dagger from earlier before leaving. I'm pretty sure I'm at least far away from the tavern as the walls of the corridor looked less lived in. 

The cobwebs were more apparent this time, the smell of rotting flesh was more apparent. the dimly lit hall was slowly illuminated by the campfire ahead. No one was there like usual, but I guess its because of that. 

I looked ahead, large two doors were next to the fire, there was a sign carved into the door.

"Exit to next floor ahead"

I sat down, near the fire mending my arm. I knew they said some monster was guarding the doors. I need to know what it is despite having injuries. I'm going to use this life as a scout, I'm going to try and prepare for the monster when I die next time. 

I walked slowly opened the doors, it required a lot of effort but I opened with a creak. 

It was a large room, the walls were still made of stone, it was dark but as soon as the door fully opened it closed. The torches illuminated the room as soon as the doors slammed shut. 

There were bodies all over the room, rotting dead bodies and skeletons little the room. In the middle was a large group of bodies consisting of humans, elves and skeletons. 

It shifted, it moved before contorting into a mess of horror. 

The groans and sounds of deflated air came through the monster before me. It was like a snake with limbs and heads. It then appeared, the thing that was controlling it, a massive yellow eye that appeared. 

as soon as I made a step it quickly charged slithering towards me. I can't react, I was frozen.

My life was forfeit before the horror of the beast, it tore through killing me instantly.

I woke up again near the fire.
