Novel & Cerita Maze 3

“Inside, you’ll face illusions meant to break your spirit. You must find the exit without succumbing to the traps within. Only then will you truly earn our trust.” I nodded, stepping toward the maze. The crowd murmured behind me, but I blocked them out, focusing on the task ahead. As I entered the maze, darkness enveloped me. The air was thick and heavy, making it difficult to breathe. Shadows danced along the walls, their shapes shifting and twisting into terrifying forms. “Just illusions,” I reminded myself. “They can’t hurt you.” But the maze was relentless. It conjured images of Damian, his twisted grin haunting me as he mocked my efforts. It showed me my twins, crying out for me as I st

Sebastian's POV As I stepped into the Moonlit Maze of Reflections, I knew I was in for a serious challenge. The air was thick with an eerie fog, and the polished silver stone walls stretched on forever. All around me, faint, whispering voices tried to distract me from my goal. I knew that this maze was designed not just to test my strength, but to trick my mind. I began to navigate the maze with my senses on high alert. Almost immediately, it became clear that this was no ordinary obstacle course. The mirror illusions were so clever that I found myself turning in circles, unsure which path was real. Time was ticking away, and every wrong turn increased my frustration.

Familiar feeling of excitement and thrill rushed through her veins and her blood pumped with anticipation of fresh hunt. Entering into the mouth of the alley she walked ahead to lead the three deeper enough for them to not get out of there, ever. The stench of the walls and the damp grimy puddles would be the last of what they’d have for their drifting souls to watch. Maya stopped as she reached the dead end, the place reeked of urine and rotting away rat or cat’s corpse, a perfect place for them. To describe in simpler words, Maya was an epitome of death and these three were going to witness it. "Hi." She greeted as they came to an abrupt stop in front of her. She grinned keeping her hood o

" Xandros' granddaughter asks. I sigh I didn't see this coming cause I thought my assassin could kill her. "don't worry the maze will be safe. Maze power will depend on what the person who possesses that power where they want to place their power. And they only put you inside into a big arena where each of you can fight the fighter until how long you can. There's is nothing you can see there aside from the fighter itself. There is no monster this time like you've been saying. Are you sure there's someone who wants to kill you inside the forest? Maybe that was only a creature inside the forest?"

Our eyes met as the door shut behind me. The maze of people that blocked my way earlier to reach room 3254 now were not such a hassle for me to surpass. This time around I just let them swallow me whole. As I reach the doors I can see Leah Meyers, the woman at the front desk, looking at me with the same hazed expression as earlier. I locked eyes with her for just a brief second, before I burst through the glass sliding doors as it opened. The weather is quite hot today, unusually hot. A strange ringing sound started to sound in my ears. How strange?

“Thank you for accepting me, Mr. Drake Woods. I’d make this industry proud.” “Sure you will. I believe in you so much.” He smiled with his eyes. I gave a smile that came like a flash, just for the sake of being polite. I closed the door carefully and rested my back on it for a while. I inhaled deeply and exhaled loudly. I turned around to catch a glimpse of his name imprinted boldly on the door. “Drake Woods.” I adjusted my hair again, maintaining the side parting I gave it, and walked to the elevator majestically.

“We’ll log out for lunch after checking out floor eleven.” There were no objections, and Party Freedom relaxed a little now that the main event was finally over. Ten minutes later, with full health bars and a close shave with in-game death, the six players found themselves walking down the long flight of dimly lit stairs to floor elven, he start of the maze stage. “And we’re finally here,” Charlie grinned. “The nightmare of our progress.” Chuckling, Zen stretched and groaned. Although he was excited to finally summon the pet basilisk he received from the Egg Hunt event, he wanted to keep that under wraps for now.

Now all I wanted was to return to those carefree days when all I had to worry about was which ring to wear in my belly button and how much skin I could show in school without getting into trouble. Gabe released my arm, his body going on high alert. "Your red dot is leaving us behind," he said, pulling me back to the present. We followed the dot into the maze. "Keep your eyes open. I don't know what Sera has planned, but I know Mizrabel is involved." He squeezed my hand and then released it. "We'll get through this together. I have your back. Promise." "And I have yours," I said. The maze looked like it was made of thick, green bushes covered in fake cobwebs. Enchanted spiders appeared, click
