How long have I been wandering like this? It's like watching an uneventful movie, nothing really happens and when something comes up it's over just as quickly, everything is so forgettable...

I look into the distance, there is a giant over there. I guess I fought one of those before... Maybe? Well, whatever.

Crack.

"Now my hand is falling apart too..."

—

In front of me is a massive building half covered by the sand, the exposed part is half the size of a giant. Is it a coliseum? a temple? Something like a ziggurat? ...It doesn't matter, does it?

There's a bunch of goblins guarding the entrance, perhaps a hundred of them? Ah, some among them look a bit stronger. I feel compelled to go there, but I have no real reason to do so... Well, forget it, I'll go.

As soon as I approached the entrance all the goblins tried to flee inside, I used the spider-arms to slaughter all of them, even the stronger-looking ones were too weak. Further inside I found more goblins, then I found myself in a chamber with a locked stone door. I think there was a goblin with a key around its neck? I walk to the door and punch it, a hole forms for me to go through.

Beyond that point there were almost no monsters, only a few scarabs, until now. A monster I never saw before: A black armor without anyone inside, it is guarding another door, this time a much smaller wooden one. It charges with a sword towards me, I use the spider-arms to block the attack, but it cuts right through almost decapitating me.

I keep dodging all the attacks, defending myself is useless as the sword can cut through me and there's no time to prepare a counter-attack without leaving myself open. After dodging another slash I land on the wall and stand there, as this creature can't reach me here.

I observe it from above. I can do a suicide attack on the body but there's no guarantee it'll be enough to defeat it, so focusing on getting rid of the sword so it becomes harmless would be better.

I jump to the other side of the room, upon landing and looking up I see the armor launching a swing from above, I dodge to the left and punch the side of the sword, shattering it to pieces. Even though weaponless it's still attacking, now with punches. I grab the wrists and kick the torso, but even with the armor smashed the attacks continue. It overpowers me in pure strength and forces me to let go, then punching me on the back, causing me to fall to the ground.

I try to stand up but it punches me again, I roll to the side and hold the leg that was going to step on me and push it, causing the armor to fall on its back. when it tries to get up I throw a punch to the stomach and use the spider-legs to destroy the joints. Letting it go I see the fingers still moving, but it can't attack anymore.

Beyond the door is a staircase downwards, after some time walking I find a bunch of goblins camping outside another stone door. I can't be bothered by them this time, so I just punch a hole through it while the monsters crawl onto each other on the edges of this chamber.

Inside is a massive room with a coffin in the middle. Differently from the rest of this place, there are lights here illuminating the whole place, I can clearly see the tapestries and ornaments on the walls, as well as the statues on the corners of the chamber. But something else catches my attention. The two moving black armors in front of me as well as a blue creature with a monstrous face and bull horns, especially one of the arms being extremely harmed, with the bone exposed.

I think I remember fighting one of those armors, just gotta attack the joints I guess? But that troll...

"I remember you" - I say with clear rage in my voice.

"HAAARG"

It rushes towards me with one of the armors that wield a spear, I dodge the troll's punch but get stabbed by the spear, causing the troll to punch me in the face. There's another punch coming, so I dodge in a way the spear is hit, breaking it in half. The armor let go of the broken weapon and took a step back, using my both hands I hold the troll's wrist after dodging another punch and use the spider-arms to destroy all the joints of the armor, leaving only two enemies to go.

The other armor holds a shield, it's not moving at all, I'll keep an eye on it and focus on the troll. The harmed arm is way weaker than the normal arm, and without weapons it isn't as strong as last time, but for its size it's surprising that it can move so fast. It set up a trap: Punching with the weakened arm and making me dodge into range of the other arm, the direct hit sends me flying across the room.

Crack.
