I'm back

moving

Alice rolled under the demon's eye. Bits of saliva fell on him from the monster on to his once-clean cloak.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK!" Alice ran, making sure to avoid the other dots on his map.

*Think, how do I kill a floating demon eye ball?* Alice kept his eyes on the map, checking the uneven crumbling floor as much as he could, making sure not to trip on the protruding stone floor. Soon, though, his running came to a dead end. Alice was met with a collapsed ceiling.

Defeated Alice spoke one word: "Shit!". As soon as he said that, a burning pain hit his leg.

"Fucking hell!" Alice looked down to see his Minitour leg flicker, his human leg showing for a second; his pants were burned and his leg was black.

Alice's thoughts were cut off as he saw another fireball fly by his head, the heat waking him from his stupor. Turning, he stared at a red imp-like demon with its hands to its side, charging another fireball, he assumed. Pulling his sword from its long sleeve, he ran at the imp, taking long, stomping strides. The imp's eyes widened like he saw Satan, and half assing it, the imp chucked his fireball. It missed by a mile; this gave Alice a boost of confidence. Once in striking distance, he brought up his sword and brought it down with a grunt and a stomp of his foot.

Alice smiled, "TOO EAZY!" Again, he was cut off as the demon's eye slammed into him. Alice flew through the pile of stones that once blocked his way, his bones cracking as he did.

He coughed up blood, and his eyes closed in pain as he lay there on the cold stone floor. Alice was sure he had broken ribs, only vagally feeling his sword in his right hand still. Quickly, he looked at his HP of 47/100. His heart raced. Was he going to die before he even knew why he was brought here to begin with? Alice's blood ran cold with anger. Goddamn it, he would not die, not until he made it right. He would bring light into this place he couldn't with music from his old world, but this one needed a fighter, and he had all the skills and potential he needed.

Alice shot up just in time to see the eye demon crash through the stone pile, its self-level 60 floating above its head, but Alice didn't care. With a yell, he jumped through the air, his sword up high, and swung his sword down, cutting the fucker in half.

"DIE!" Blood covered Alice again, but he did not care; he was pissed. Looking at his map, he ran to the next dot.

Alice stumbled back, sticking his hand out to catch him on the wall. Breathing heavily, he looked at his map.

"One more... then... I can sleep in that bed." He chuckled a little.

"I guess I got that new bed."

Alice got a bit of energy from leveling up, but not enough to fight this last one. He pulled up his stats, and anger flashed on his face as he read them.

"Eight fucking xp, really." He really needs to get to level 30 for those five stat points, but being that close to 29 seemed to taunt him. He put two more points into his strength, making it 46, then looked at his HP. He was healing faster as his levels went up, but not fast enough. He was lucky and took no more damage, killing the other nine demons, but ten minutes only healed him to 69/100 hp.

"Fuck it, who cares?" he mumbled to himself, pushing himself off the wall. As he did, he swayed for a moment until he found his balance.

Walking quietly to the purple dot, he peeked around the corner to see some demon, one that sent shivers down his spine. It looked like a minotaur, but it was red and four feet taller.

"Level 80, really... how am I?" Alice whispered to himself as a plan formed in his head.

*I need to sneak up on it; I don't know if I can kill it with one blow, but if I took one of its legs off, I could out maneuver it and slowly finish it off.* With some new-found confidence, Alice walked slowly. Once in striking range, Alice swung his sword, cutting its leg off, and it fell over. Clearly confused, the demon fell on its hand, and now, on one knee, Alice brought up his sword again, going for the head, but was hit with one of its massive hands.

Alice couldn't breathe as he flew through the air for the second time today, fallowing by cracking in his back and ribs, the wall giving nothing to ease his pain. Falling to the ground, Alice saw his HP drop to 22/100.

Vision going gray, he stood the pain sending adrenalin through his body, not caring for the ribs poking through his skin, he stomped at the crippled demon. Every step sent blood spraying a trail from the wall to him, which was getting longer with every step he took. The demon swung at him but lost its balance, giving him an opening. With great pain, he jumped up out of the vision of the demon, then brought down his sword, cutting the demons head off.

Alice stood there out of breath, a puddle of blood below him. With what energy left, he walked, or more like stumbled, his way to the bed. It was softer than anything, silently thanking whoever's bed, swearing heed kiss them, and also say sorry for the blood he was sure to track in there.

Alice fell into bed; the room was black and blue all over, making the trail of red blood stand out even more. He quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.
