Level 11 – Web of Terror
“Stay behind me,” Smith said to Joanne, who was frozen in fear.The three of them turned around, trying to locate the creature lurking inside the cave. But they saw nothing.“Maybe it was just our imagination,” Jackson said, beginning to relax.“Really? But I swear something was hiding in the darkness. Think about it—why did Smith’s torch suddenly go out?” Joanne asked, still uneasy.“There’s nothing here,” Jackson replied.Suddenly, the cave plunged into darkness. All three turned at once—and froze in shock. A massive six-legged creature stood at the exit, busy weaving its web.“A-a giant spider…” Joanne’s eyes widened. Other than geese, spiders were her worst fear. She hated them ever since a traumatic childhood experience.“It’s sealing off our exit!” Smith exclaimed, realizing what was happening.Jackson didn’t hesitate. He drew his bow and fired a flaming arrow at the spider.The creature turned, enraged, as the arrow struck its body.“O-oh no, it looks angry,” Joanne said, her f
Level 12 – The Spider’s Core
“How can I defeat it and free Smith and Joanne?” Jackson’s body felt extremely weak, his energy completely drained. The giant spider’s power was far greater than the worms they had fought outside. It had already consumed most of Jackson’s energy—even though he had just replenished it.Jackson raised his bow and aimed it directly at the giant spider, firing multiple arrows in rapid succession.The spider’s attention shifted toward him, abandoning Joanne for the moment. It began moving slowly in Jackson’s direction.Jackson kept firing. “I need to think fast if I want to beat this thing,” he thought, trying to stay calm as he continued aiming.The creature drew closer. Jackson ran to the side—dodging was all he could do now to conserve what little energy he had left.He kept firing while running. The spider began launching webs at him. Jackson ducked to avoid them, causing the shots to miss.“Damn it! I need to hurry.” Jackson kept running, searching for a safe spot. But there was none.
Level 13 – Diamond Infection
Jackson was dragged, struggling to restrain the dagger as he gripped it tightly, but the weapon fought back harder against his grasp.“Stay still!” Jackson shouted in frustration. The dagger slipped free from his grip and soared high into the air. Jackson and Joanne could only stare upward in silence as it floated around the cave.“Damn it! That dagger is completely uncontrollable,” Jackson muttered angrily.“Do something!”“How?!” Jackson shot back, glaring at Joanne, who seemed to only bark orders without lifting a finger.“Chase it down and catch it! That dagger is the only way we can escape.”“Ah… if only Smith were awake and using his sword to help us. Instead, he’s passed out and completely useless. And on top of that, where’s his sword?” Jackson scanned the cave for Smith’s weapon, but it was nowhere to be found.“There’s no time left, hurry!” Joanne yelled.“Fine, I’ll get it!” Jackson sprinted after the dagger, finally managing to seize it. He calmed it down by stroking it ge
Level 14 – Revival and Retrieval
Smith slowly opened his eyes, his head pounding. He lifted it slightly.“You’re awake?” Jackson muttered, immediately drawing Smith’s attention. Jackson was lying directly beneath him, far too close for comfort. Smith’s eyes widened in shock, and he instantly leapt back from Jackson.“W-what were you doing under me?” he stammered, staring at Jackson in horror. Jackson sat up from the ground, looking weary.“Don’t get the wrong idea—it was all because of you,” Joanne cut in, walking over and crouching beside them.“What do you mean?” Smith asked in confusion. Joanne grabbed his arm, pulling back the torn sleeve of his shirt to reveal the clear zombie bite on his flesh.“This. You were infected by a zombie’s bite,” she said firmly.“You… you knew?” Smith’s face twisted in shock. “Wait—does that mean…”“You turned into a zombie and attacked us,” Jackson replied. “Your body was impossible to restrain. You were far stronger than me—I could barely hold you down. Just staying conscious was a
