Climbing The Labyrinth 1

"Hmm. Then there's no point in going there for now. Let's clear a few labyrinth floors."

"Let's aim to clear floor 5. Every 5th floor you clear creates a checkpoint to which you can teleport to from the labyrinth entrance on your subsequent visits."

"5? Isn't that too ambitious?"

"No, you've improved significantly and I plan to fully participate this time after you clear the first few floors on your own."

I nod and we do as discussed, as we go back to our inn to equip our gear and soon find ourselves on the first floor of the labyrinth once again after paying the highway robbery of an entrance tax of 40 bronze coins, which leaves us with 4 silver and 412 bronze coins.

As we step into the labyrinth's dark, echoing halls, I can't help but reflect on my last visit here. I was only level 1 then, but now I'm level 9, and the difference is going to be absolutely staggering.
