"Don't tell me... this temple is a labyrinth??" Mikey says quietly to himself, not expecting an answer.

He suddenly hears clapping behind himself. He turns around and sees a strange looking person. He resembles a human, but his lower half of the body is blurry, as if he was a ghost.

"Well done, that's right, you've found yourself trapped in my labyrinth." The ghost says.

"The dead bodies in front of the temple, are you responsible for that?" Mikey asks with a hostile tone.

"Pretty much. But wow, it's been years since someone got lost here, I am loo-

Mikey pulls out The Duskblade and attacks the ghost.

"Wait!" The ghost says, Mikey wavers. "It isn't the time for us to fight yet. Overcome my challenges first, then we'll fight." He says.

"I don't have time to play your games." Mikey says as he dashes at the ghost, he points his sword forward and prepares to kill it... the ghost suddenly dissapears.

"You fool...You can't kill a ghost without having a ghostkiller weapon or skill!" The ghost shouts, but he's nowhere to be seen.

"Ghostkiller, what?" Mikey asks.

"Pass through my challenges without dying and you will obtain one of these skills, then you might be able to kill me." The ghost says.

"Why would you give me a way to kill you?" Mikey asks.

"That's the rules, and I don't make them." The ghost says.

"Now then, the first challenge begins right now!"

(Meanwhile in the Castle)

Lucy and Zoro are fighting countless of what seems like undead soldiers. The soldiers are all wearing heavy armor and wield all kinds of melee weapons. The soldiers have them completely surrounded.

"They just won't stop coming!" Zoro shouts.

"I think there must be some necromancer who is reviving them over and over." Lucy says.

"That's a bold thing to assume." Zoro replies.

"My attribute is telling me that." Lucy answers.

"Are you Ragnar too now or what? Zoro asks.

"I mean, just look at the ground, we've already destroyed a bunch of them, and yet, I don't see any bones laying around." Lucy says.

"Yeah, you have a point. Let's go deeper in the castle then and find this necromancer." Zoro says.

Zoro pulls out a bunch of grenades and throws them all around. This clears the path and allows Lucy and Zoro to keep moving forward.

The dozens of undead soldiers follow them.

(In the forest)

"Right there!" Ragnar shouts and points at a tree.

(BOOM)

Christina shoots her gun and hits the tree which dissapears right after it gets shot.

"Can you finally tell me what's going on here? Why did that tree dissapear? Why was that deer fake too? And that small stone aswell." Christina asks.

Ragnar's attribute has been going off this whole time, it keeps telling him to attack random objects and animals in the forest.

"I am not sure why are we doing this, but we're definitely getting somewhere with it." Ragnar says.

...

A roar can be heard in the distance, Christina and Ragnar look at eachother.

"That's what my attribute was telling me about." Ragnar says. "I am sure of it!" He adds and starts running there. Christina follows him.

Stolen story; please report.

(In labyrinth)

"The first challenge begins right now!" The ghost says.

"What am I supposed to do?" Mikey asks.

"Find three lights and put them out, that's all you have to do." The ghost says.

The entire labyrinth becomes completely dark. Mikey pulls out a torch to see in the pure dark. His eyes change too.

[You have activated an ability of the "Adaptive Fighter"]

He starts walking around the entire maze and searches for light. Mikey is expecting to find a torch or something like that, but he was completely wrong.

He finds three small red spirits who's heads look like they're lit on fire. The spirits are laughing until they spot Mikey. Once they do, they start running away from him. Mikey chases them and just when he's about to catch up to one of them, a big stone golem appears in front of him.

The golem smashes the ground aiming for Mikey. Mikey has to quickly backstep in order to get out of the golem's way.

"Oh, that's right, I forgot to mention something. There will be obstacles in the way, such as this golem." The ghost says while laughing.

Mikey sheates his duskblade, he's aware that there's no way he's cutting through the golem and has to use his fists instead. The golem attacks Mikey again with its fist this time instead of smashing the ground.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

Mikey, instead of dodging, punches the golem's fist. The entire arm of the Stone Golem gets broken apart and the golem is pushed a few meters back. Before it can recover Mikey kicks its leg and makes it stumble.

"Not bad, I might have underestimated you." The ghost says reappearing above Mikey.

Without defeating the golem or fighting the ghost Mikey rushes off to find the three spirits.

"There's no point in fighting against anyone but those three small guys." Mikey says to himself as the ghost follows him. "Shit, where did they go? Even at full speed I am only a little faster than them."

(In the Castle)

Lucy and Zoro are hiding in the castle's library, there are undead soldiers scattered all around the castle searching for them. Lucy is using her attribute to look around the castle. She is looking through a hall and sees a large door being guarded by two giant skeletons, the skeletons aren't wearing any armor.

One of them is holding a huge bone bow, it has a quiver on its back with massive bone arrows.

The other one is holding a huge bone spear in its right hand and a big round shield in its left hand.

Lucy's attribute doesn't allow her to look past the large door.

"I can't look further, I think that's the Lord's hall and also the place where the necromancer is." She whispers.

"Let's go then. Lead the way." Zoro whispers back.

"There are two giant skeletons guarding the place, do you have some more explosives?" Lucy asks.

"I do, but I'll have to use a bunch of them if I want to take care of an entire giant." Zoro says.

"In that case I'll take care of it, save your explosives." Lucy replies.

Lucy and Zoro start sneaking out of the library and slowly start approaching the large door.

(In the forest)

"So, you two woke me up?" A HUGE bear is standing in front of Ragnar and Christina. "I didn't expect that." He adds.

"Am i just hearing things or is a bear talking to us?" Christina asks Ragnar.

"Yeah." He answers. "Im pretty sure it is."

"Did we wake you up by destroying those three decoys?" Ragnar asks the bear.

"Yeah, how did you guys figure it out? If you didn't you would never find me." The bear says.

"Let's just say I have a good instinct." Ragnar says.

"Hahaha, so you won't tell me huh. Well, not that it matters, it's been a long time since I fought anyway. Let's do this!" The bear says all excited.

(In the labyrinth)

Mikey is chasing the three spirits while countless monsters run after him filling up the entire hallway. One of the monsters throws a strange potion that slows Mikey down. Mikey has to turn around and fight the monsters.

A few seconds later and all of the monsters are gone and dead.

"Damn it I lost them again."

Mikey starts chasing after the spirits again.

(In the castle)

Zoro and Lucy are sneaking through the hallway that is filled with guards. Lucy gets within needed range and casts her spell.

Her hair turns brown and two huge rocks form in the air. She sends them flying at the two giant skeletons, completely destroying them.

All of the guards in the hallway are now aware of Lucy's and Zoro's presence. They all charge at them.

"Well shit." Lucy sighs.
