Chapter 128: Knock-Knock! Who's There? GRRR!

Ever felt like life wasn't exactly what you expected it to be? Sotis you're just doing a job and wondering how you got to this point. Well, this was how Josh felt at this instant:

[Mission: Steal the Golden Femur.]

What kind of crazy guy would steal a femur? Actually, what kind of nut-job would have a golden femur in the first place? But that wasn't the worst.

[New Tower Policy: Rewards diminished if Floor has been cleared on any other lower difficulty beforehand.]

That really sucked. The only saving grace was the information available online about the normal and hard difficulties. It wasn't actually that surprising. The Tower had done it for the duels already. Josh hesitated for a few seconds before resolutely selecting Hellish.

[Hellish difficulty selected. Have fun!]

That's when the surroundings changed. It all beca even gloomier. It only lacked Boss music for the perfect 'Get ready to die' ambiance.

Everything seed to suddenly take a purplish poisonous-looking hue. The barren earth began to crack. Evil-looking but tiny centipedes crawled out of the ground. They had tons of legs, sharp mandibles and seed extrely venomous.

The wind began blowing, but it was cold and unnatural. That's when Josh realized why. It didn't make his clothes flutter at all. It was as if an illusion or perhaps a promise of death.

He began wandering aimlessly. He could hear the insects scurrying around, but that was all. From ti to ti, one would sneakily approach him and go for a bite.

How regretful would it be to perish from a centipede's attack? It would be extrely easy to miss one sneakily approaching in an intense fight. That would prove especially true for support classes that usually lacked mobility.

Soon enough, Josh found a weird dark rectangular human-sized structure sticking out of the earth. As he approached, he could see a small inscription on it: .

This thing was the entrance of a crypt, one that was the first step required to progress in this realm.

"Navi, what do you suggest here?"
