Scepticus watches the lake in front of him for a good while. By that time it had already become night. Then Scepticus gets up and says, “The night is right for the hunt is alive. Am I right, the Wendigos who are behind me?”. Scepticus then turns around. The three Wendigos peered back at Scepticus with curiosity and then attacked him.
The first Wendigo pounced straight at Scepticus. Scepticus just threw his fist and it was obliterated. The pieces of its flesh and blood rained down on Scepticus who licked his lips. “For some reason that boar made me feel a lot stronger and faster. Now DIE!!” screamed Scepticus.
Scepticus launched himself forward and then used his finger and pierced through the eye hole on the second Wendigo’s skull. The Wendigo wailed in pain and ran off. Scepticus then dashed and punched the Wendigo while yelling, “Oh no you don’t!”. Scepticus then punched the Wendigo’s head and the head was completely destroyed.
Scepticus then started searching for the third Wendigo but it was nowhere near him. He decided to let it go since he thought it was smart enough to run away. Scepticus then went back through the woods, heading towards a cavern. He thought it would be a good idea to rest in the cave.

Scepticus then noticed a sign which read “Cave of the 8 pegs,”. Scepticus then enters the cave. Scepticus felt an eerie aura coming from the walls of the cave. “Hmm, so I have regained my passive skill Aura Detection. I definitely didn’t have it a few moments ago”.
Scepticus then decided to sit down. As soon as he sat down a spider as wide as a dinner plate jumped on him. Scepticus shoved it off him and then took a rock and smashed the spider. A green ooze started pouring out from underneath the rock. Slowly it started corroding the ground underneath it and the rock.
“So slicing these things is a bad idea. I don’t want this weird acid-like material coming in contact with me. Another downside to the human body. I want my demonic body back again.” complained Scepticus. His eyes slowly adjusted to the dark and then what he saw on the walls was disgusting, weird and surprising.
On the walls were the corpses of many other spiders like the one he just killed. “So that was what was emitting the eerie aura. Humans never learn do they? Nothing comes from a mass massacre like this". Scepticus then began to lie down and his eyes slowly shut.
----------------------------------------
The third Wendigo from earlier slowly slouched back to the corpses of its fallen brethren. It then pounces on them and starts vigorously biting them, even eating the bones. The Wendigo then suddenly grows bigger muscles and starts maniacally laughing. It then enters the forest with blood dripping from its skull.
