A Bored Lich
"Screw magic, I want to learn how to do cool flips and stuff." Magic is awesome, until you've studied it for centuries. Doevm reincarnates into a human to experience the path of a fighter to its fullest and swears not to rely on magic. There is only one problem, a goddess stands in his way. She pits him against both the hero and the villain for all of eternity. How will he escape this, with magic or his fists? Maybe both? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Sorry about the spacing.

Don't be afraid to say you don't understand something or point out an error in grammar. I read all comments. There are naturally some things I won't say. For example, if some says there's an inconsistency and I don't address it, it's probably there for a reason.
Descent into the Darkest Darkness...which is Dark (Part 2/2)
"This mine was built for Dwarves. If you're surprised by this much then, by all means, go back now," Kilot said. He pulled the lever back, and runic engravings lit up on the front of the platform, growing brighter and brighter until a bolt of electricity arced to the closest chain. The crackling energy raced into the depths, and the runic light faded.
Then there was silence.
Just as Doevm began to doubt Kilot, the four closest chains jingled and shifted, pulling taut. He glanced down and, although it was too dark to see, he could hear something; a rhythmic clicking, steadily growing louder and closer.
Emerging from the dark was a stone platform, which slowed to a stop as it leveled out with the terrace, the clicking sound halting with it. The platform itself was essentially a square slab with railings and a gate at the front. Doevm guessed that the clicking sounds came from underneath. Regretfully, he couldn't get a good look.
