Conquering the labyrinth had just been something to do.
He had survived things that others had not. He had survived beast tides where gates had remained locked for weeks. Merged gates seemed to always occur around him, he remembered when he was but a seeker. He had found himself in a domain core quest that had ended with everyone but himself dying.
Something about this made him realise the systema and the domain had plans for him.
He had forgotten his name; he had gotten so used to not using it. That he had all but forgotten what his original name had been. Now he went by what everyone who still remembered him called him.
The survivor.
And he was one, he survived all the things he had been through. True it was never unscathed. But most of the time, he survived almost all the things in front of him. He would disappear and recover, lick his wounds, and then reappear, delving deeper and deeper in the labyrinth.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
This was one such time and now the labyrinth had brought him to the 100th floor. The floor of the strongest tier V creature. The strongest tier V calamity the labyrinth had ever formed to fight the master tier.
An ancient high dragon was a problem. Only after the sixtieth and seventieth floor did you see dragons in the labyrinth. But this calamity, so named Gravich was the greatest of them all. He should know, he had survived his share of a few.
His armour warmed, Mana flowing smoothly from it into his body and back. A harmonic bond had been built and the fact that his armour was flaring Mana, told him he was in for a serious battle.
Gravich roared as soon as he entered the gate. The domain announced his presence and dragons from all around the brood seemed to awake with his presence.
They smelled him, they knew he was there to overcome them, and they wouldn’t let him. But many before them thought the same thing. He pulled his sword free, unlatched his battleaxe from his back.
“well met.” He said, after all he was going to survive. He always did. They were the ones who had never met something like him before.
