Labyrinth Floor Novels & Stories

Joseph replied. "I wish I could stay for some more time. But I guess I have to go. This seems like a long staircase," Ms. Lilac eyed the staircase they reached after walking for 10 minutes. The forest was gone. Everything around them was clouds and a beautiful stairway starting from one end towards the sky. "It just looks like a long one. But it isn't. It is time for you to rest now, ma'am. You've done a great job while you were alive. I hope you will rest well," Joseph bowed his head to her.

But what truly caught our attention was the sight that greeted us—a labyrinth of intricate pathways carved into the stone floor, each one leading deeper into the bowels of the earth. "It's like nothing I've ever seen," Alex murmured, his voice filled with awe and apprehension. Sophia's gaze swept over the labyrinth, her brow furrowed in concentration. "There's no telling what dangers lie within," she cautioned, her tone grave. But before we could formulate a plan, a low rumbling echoed through the chamber, causing the ground beneath us to tremble. As we looked around frantically, we realized that the labyrinth itself was shifting, its pathways rearranging in a dizzying display of motion.

Liam materialized beside her, a gasp escaping his lips. They were no longer in the desolate chamber. Instead, they stood in a vast cavern, its walls adorned with intricate murals that pulsed with an otherworldly luminescence. The murals depicted scenes unlike anything they had ever seen – celestial beings locked in an epic battle, landscapes of unimaginable beauty and desolation, and symbols that mirrored the inscription from the labyrinth.

“If Haverstone’s notes are accurate, the fracture is at the center of the labyrinth.” “Of course it is,” Jamie muttered. “Why can’t anything ever be easy?” Callan stepped forward, their glowing eyes scanning the ruins. “The force has fortified this place. It will use the labyrinth to disorient and divide us. We must stay together.” Emma nodded, gripping the key tightly. “Let’s move.” The labyrinth was a maze of twisting corridors and dead ends, each turn marked by the eerie hum of energy that grew stronger the deeper they ventured. The walls were lined with ancient carvings, their patterns strange and unsettling, as though they had been etched by an unsteady hand.

All floors are labelled by alphabet. A1, B2, C3, D4 and E5 are the floors that only the royal families are using for their benefit. There is a stair which will tell where it is. Only, the royal doctors, the royal maids and the royal guardian and allowed to penetrate inside, if anyone enters who is not a royal themselves will be executed for this. It's pretty strict.

My mind is filled with confusion and anxious thoughts right now but I still managed to activate again my navigating spell, Black Labyrinth, to know what’s happening inside the tower. I examined the tower in my 3 dimensional map. A red dot in the first floor is currently pulsating, emitting too much dark energy. The demon in that floor seemed heated and excited for a fight. I moved my gaze and looked on the highest floor of the tower. There were too many blue dots in it and their glows were gradually fading. They looked like twinkling stars in a night sky.

Seeing that there's nothing to do in this place, I decided for us to continue climbing up. We slowly climb up the second-floor staircase, but as we were on the way, the cold air started to comes down towards us. The whole floor and the staircase were no longer dark, but it was well lighted by the magic crystal lamp. Greeted with the cold air, we can help but become more cautious, but upon setting foot on the second floor, we all were baffled by what happened. "It's a freezer…no, it's actually a freezer floor…".

Lu Chen does not want to sound like a god, so he uses the plainest words he can find. Aunt Lan wanted the children fed, the floors swept, and the gods to stop acting as if mystery excused bad manners. Wanting that made every order harder. Power felt more dangerous when there was an ache under it, when a system reward could not quite cover the bruise it left behind. Floor 7: Obedience. Floor 13: Sacrifice. Floor 18: Final Opening. Ava pressed Roof. There was no Roof. A ghost gained dignity instead of only becoming a weapon. A child's shoe squeaked on wet tile. Nothing in the room felt decorative; every object could become evidence, weapon, offering, or witness before the next breath.

"The labyrinth. That sounded like it came from the trial chamber." We ran together through the corridors, all pretense of secrecy abandoned. Guards were rushing past us, heading in the same direction. Servants pressed themselves against walls, eyes wide with fear. As we burst into the main hall leading to the labyrinth chamber, I saw the crowd that had gathered. Candidates, officials, guards…all staring at something I couldn't yet see. Then the crowd parted slightly, and my heart stopped. The great mirrors that formed the labyrinth's entrance had shattered. Massive shards of enchanted glass lay scattered across the marble floor, still glowing faintly with residual magic.
